Calculation of an optimized freight configuration for aircraft
When loading an aircraft freight hold, the space should be used as efficiently as possible. For this it is important to take account of spatial dimension, volume and weight of goods such as pallets and crates. There is an excessively large number of possible arrangements, which is why packing optimization has long ...

ALIENCE - Alpine PV Competence
The realisation of alpine PV plants faces a special challenge compared to plants on the Swiss Plateau. In the Alps, wind loads are higher, snow drifts occur, temperature cycles are faster and temperature amplitudes are larger, and at the same time the irradiation of energy-rich UV light is increased. This results in ...
