OUFTI-NEXT is going to be the third CubeSat developed by Université de Liège. It is expected to be one of the first CubeSats equipped with a Mid-Wave Infrared camera and the first demonstrator for the use of this technology for agricultural fields temperature monitoring.

This work has the aim to evaluate if the required performances can be reached by a 3U CubeSat orbiting in LEO and then, if the OUFTI-NEXT mission is feasible. To answer that question, the necessary instrument characteristics have been individualized and compared with commercially available cameras. 

To evaluate the feasibility of the mission, a software for study how the different parameters influence the instrument performances has been developed. In particular, a procedure for a quick evaluation of the thermal resolution has been realized. Models for radiometry, optics, and detector to be implemented in parametric studies are going to be proposed.

Procédé dont l’utilité n’est plus à démontrer et qui est loin d’être récent, le recours croissant au project finance (ou « project financing ») dans l’économie contemporaine invite à le démystifier et à en présenter de manière simple et intelligible les contours. De fait, quoiqu’ayant connu un repli en raison de la crise financière et économique récente, le project finance continue d’être utilisé ou inspire les méthodes de réalisation de projets publics et privés dans des domaines divers et variés à travers la planète. Il s’agit donc d’une technique à vocation universelle dont l’usage et le développement gagneraient à quitter son cercle d’initiés. Cet ouvrage fournit la quintessence actuelle en français du project finance dans la mesure où la crise financière et économique précitée en a influencé certains aspects. Les dernières évolutions et adaptations en la matière sont en conséquence prises en compte dont notamment celles liées aux nouvelles exigences réglementaires applicables au secteur bancaire et dérivant particulièrement des accords dits « Bâle III » : le rôle croissant des banques de développement et celui des marchés de capitaux (emprunts obligataires en tête) ; les nouvelles approches en matière de syndication bancaire (« club deal ») ; mais aussi les approches qui concernent la durée des financements (résurgence de la « mini perm » « soft » ou « hard »). Sont également prises en compte les exigences croissantes en matière environnementale et sociale et de respect des droits de l’homme.

Anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are dramatically influencing the environment, and research is strongly committed to proposing alternatives, mainly based on renewable energy sources. Low GHG electricity production from renewables is well established but issues of grid balancing are limiting their application. Energy storage is a key topic for the further deployment of renewable energy production. Besides batteries and other types of electrical storage, electrofuels and bioderived fuels may offer suitable alternatives in some specific scenarios. This Special Issue includes contributions on the energy conversion technologies and use, energy storage, technologies integration, e-fuels, and pilot and large-scale applications.

Production and consumption activities have determined a weakness of the sustainable real estate economy. The main problems are the subordination of public decision making, which is subjected to pressure from big companies; inefficient appraisal procedures; excessive use of financial leverage in investment projects; the atypical nature of markets; income positions in urban transformations; and the financialization of real estate markets, with widespread negative effects. A delicate role in these complex problems is assigned to real estate appraisal activities, called to make value judgments on real estate goods and investment projects, the prices of which are often formed in atypical real estate markets, giving ever greater importance to sustainable development and transformation issues. This Special Issue is dedicated to developing and disseminating knowledge and innovations related to most recent real estate evaluation methodologies applied in the fields of architecture and civil, building, environmental, and territorial engineering. Suitable works include studies on econometric models, sustainable building management, building costs, risk management and real estate appraisal, mass appraisal methods applied to real estate properties, urban and land economics, transport economics, the application of economics and financial techniques to real estate markets, the economic valuation of real estate investment projects, the economic effects of building transformations or projects on the environment, and sustainable real estate.

Concerns relating to energy supply and climate change have driven renewable energy targets around the world. Marine renewable energy could make a significant contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating the consequences of climate change, while providing a high-technology industry. The conversion of wave and tidal energy into electricity has many advantages. Individual tidal and wave energy devices have been installed and proven, with commercial arrays planned throughout the world. The wave and tidal energy industry has developed rapidly in the past few years; therefore, it seems timely to review current research and map future challenges. Methods to improve understanding of the resource and interactions (between energy extraction, the resource and the environment) are considered, such as resource characterisation (including electricity output), design considerations (e.g., extreme and fatigue loadings) and environmental impacts, at all timescales (ranging from turbulence to decadal) and all spatial scales (from device and array scales to shelf sea scales).
