Pile Dwellings

Collective dwellings

This paper presents evidence that the sustainable dwelling involves the collective use of spaces and services at home. By exploring the possibility of sharing spaces and services and establishing a common use, we will save space and energy, increase the economic efficiency of dwellings, and gain new forms of socialization between users. In order to find these new forms of socialization that sat...

Modeling soil pile bioremediation

A model is presented for the analysis of bioremediation applied to an ex situ soil pile. The approach is based on the remediation of a pile containing the contaminated soil, which has been excavated from its original location, placed atop a bottom liner system and encapsulated with an impermeable cover. The liner system contains and isolates the contaminated soil and provides process control po...

Pile-up glass microreactor.

We made a 'pile-up' microreactor in which ten levels of microchannel circuits were integrated to form a single glass entity. Solutions were distributed to each layer via cylindrical holes with a diameter much larger than that of the microchannel. Fabrication of the pile-up reactor was completed using only conventional photolithography, wet etching and thermal bonding techniques, and no special ...
