Electrochromic materials and devices for energy efficiency and human comfort in buildings: A critical review
Claes-Göran Granqvist,Miguel A Arvizu,I. Bayrak Pehlivan,Huiying Qu,Huiying Qu,Rui-Tao Wen,Gunnar A. Niklasson +6 more
TL;DR: Electrochromic (EC) materials can be integrated in thin-film devices and used for modulating optical transmittance as discussed by the authors, and have been used in large-area glazing (windows and glass facades) in order to create buildings which combine energy efficiency with good indoor comfort.

Resilience-based predictive models for the seismic behaviour of mid-rise, base-isolated CLT buildings for social housing applications in Chile
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed predictive models for the fundamental period of vibration, a parameter that needs to be selected in early stages of a seismically isolated building's design process, in relation to economic losses such as repair costs and repair time, and environmental losses, such as repairing-related carbon footprint and embodied energy.

Security and Privacy in Cloud Computing: A Survey
TL;DR: This paper investigates several Cloud Computing system providers about their concerns on security and privacy issues and finds those concerns are not adequate and more should be added in terms of five aspects (i.e., availability, confidentiality, data integrity, control, audit).
