In recent years, advanced controllers, including Model Predictive Control (MPC), have emerged as promising solutions to improve the efficiency of building energy systems.This paper explores the capabilities of MPC in handling multiple control objectives and constraints.A first MPC controller focuses on the task of ensuring thermal comfort in a resi

Communities of herbivorous insects on individual host trees may be driven by processes ranging from ongoing development via recent microevolution to ancient phylogeny, but the relative importance of these processes and whether they operate via trophic interactions or herbivore movement remains unknown.We determined the leaf phenology, trunk diamete

The conductances of molecular model junctions comprising a triazatriangulenium platform with or without an ethynyl spacer and an upright Zn-porphyrin are probed with a low-temperature scanning probe microscope.The platform alone is found to be highly conductive.The ethynyl-linked Zn-porphyrin Pipe moiety reduces the conductance by three orders of m
