Explaining the socio-economic output of urban regions with a model combining urban scaling and polycentricity
(2024)Urban Scaling: Allometry in Urban Studies and Spatial ScienceUrban scaling theory and polycentric urban development are two well-known concepts that draw parallels between configurations and socio-economic conditions of urban regions. Both concepts, however, have some drawbacks, which could potentially be alleviated by combining them in a new model. In this study, income in urban regions in Switzerland is explained by combining the hierarchy of a region’s commuter network (i.e. indicator for ...Book Chapter -
Current applications using key mineral phases in igneous and metamorphic geology: perspectives for the future
(2024)Geological Society, London, Special Publications ~ Minor Minerals, Major Implications: Using Key Mineral Phases to Unravel the Formation and Evolution of Earth's CrustThe study of magmatic and metamorphic processes is challenged by geological complexities like geochemical variations, geochronological uncertainties and the presence/absence of fluids and/or melts. However, by integrating petrographic and microstructural studies with geochronology, geochemistry and phase equilibrium diagram investigations of different key mineral phases, it is possible to reconstruct insightful pressure–temperature–defo ...Book Chapter -

Smart Wearables in Healthcare
(2024)Dimensions of Intelligent Analytics for Smart Digital Health SolutionsWearable technology has great potential for health care, due to its ability to non-intrusively collect large amounts of longitudinal patient data outside of constant clinical care. Particularly, artificial intelligence (AI) may facilitate the processing and analysis of this data to generate valuable insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment, thus establishing smart wearable technology for health care. This Chapter provides a comprehensive ...Book Chapter -
