SODIS potential: A novel parameter to assess the suitability of solar water disinfection worldwide

César Pulgarin, Sofia Samoili, Stefanos Giannakis, Giulio Farinelli

This paper studies the worldwide applicability of solar water disinfection (SODIS) technology through a novel parameter: the SODIS potential. This parameter is defined as the inverse ratio between the required exposure time to achieve a four log disinfecti ...

Considering weather in simulating traffic

André-Gilles Dumont, Ashish Bhaskar, Minh Hai Pham, Sofia Samoili

The impact of weather on traffic and its behavior is not well studied in literature primarily due to lack of integrated traffic and weather data. Weather can significant effect the traffic and traffic management measures developed for fine weather might no ...
