A simple spatiotemporal evolution model of a transmission power grid
(2018-02-22)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper, we present a model for the spatial and temporal evolution of a particularly large human-made network: the 400-kV French transmission power grid. This is based on 1) an attachment procedure that diminishes ... -

Open AccessUnderstanding diversity in complex urban systems is fundamental in facing current and future sustainability challenges. In this article, we apply an exploratory multivariate statistical analysis (i.e., Principal Component ... -
An integrative methodology for the quality of life measurement in urban places based on the accomplishment of human needs
(2015)
Conference lecture
Open AccessQuality of Life (QoL) approaches and studies have broadly raised the interest of scientists during the last years. With more than half of the world population now living in cities, defining and measuring QoL in urban ... -
Analysis of major failures in Europe’s power grid
(2011-03)
Article
Open AccessPower grids are prone to failure. Time series of reliability measures such as total power loss or energy not supplied can give significant account of the underlying dynamical behavior of these systems, specially when the ... -
Applying network analysis to assess coastal risk planning
(2018-08)
Article
Open AccessAdequate response to risks affecting coasts requires an integrated and coordinated multi-risk governance system, with ongoing evaluation of statutory planning documents and responsible stakeholders. Traditionally, such ... -
Assessing European power grid reliability by means of topological measures
(2009)
Article
Open AccessReliability assessment is crucial when dealing with complex systems, especially complex networks. Be they natural or man made, networks are able to sustain their functioning by means of a reliable set of components. The ... -
Cities and quality of life. Quantitative modeling of the emergence of the happiness field in urban studies
