This paper sheds some light on these issues based on two empirical studies from Germany: (1) A questionnaire study including a conjoint analysis-design and (2) A field experiment with test-residents of a smart home laboratory.
Meanwhile, it has opened a collaborative research facility, the Smart Meters>Smart Homes laboratory, exploring the potential energy implications of different kinds of meters, energy storage, heating systems and even electric vehicle chargers, smart speakers and wearable technology.
Even if a detailed LCA modeling of an individual car is not available for all its technical parts, a simplified life cycle assessment can be performed with comparative calculations based on LCA models published in detail: As an example, lifetime carbon footprints were estimated here according to the conversion of a used Smart in the laboratory of the authors (Figure 2).
Both pH and electrical conductivity were measured using the Smart CHEM-Lab laboratory analyzer (TPS Pty Ltd., Brisbane, Australia) and are reported in Table S2 in the Supporting Information.
We thank Dr Juliet French, and Dr Chanel Smart, from the laboratory of Dr Melissa Brown, University of Queensland, for assistance with cell lines.
Assay reproducibility has been previously demonstrated in our laboratory (Smart et al, 2003) and this had been confirmed in the present study by the analysis of sequential samples from the internal assay control (Table 1).
The team at Ohio State, home to one of just a few high-voltage laboratories in the country, is now developing a virtual platform to simulate the functions of a smart grid in a laboratory or classroom setting.
Roboticists Hod Lipson and Matei Ciocarlie joined Dean Mary C. Boyce to discuss how to move driverless cars and other smart machines beyond controlled laboratory settings.
In a remade industrial neighborhood called 22@Barcelona, which was financed with $230 million of taxpayer funds, the data is put to further use creating apps and other programs to be tested in a sort of urban laboratory for smart city technology.
The computer engineering department at Saudi Arabia's King Fahad University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) has established a joint StepNexus/KFUPM smart card and RFID laboratory aimed at supporting smart card projects conducted by students.
