Into the city: A Multi-Disciplinary Investigation of Urban Life
… the importance of considering, at the same time, multiple factors to describe cities. First, we build a predictive model showing that objective and subjective neighbourhood features drive more than 20% of the housing price. Second, we describe the effect played by a neighbourhood's characteristics …

Multi-Disciplinary Modernism: Peggy Guggenheim and Art of This Century
Peggy Guggenheim built one of the most important and internationally esteemed collections of modern art, and established what is the most famous gallery of our time, Art of This Century. Guggenheim’s scandalous life and numerous affairs with artists have often problematically overshadowed her role …

A multi-disciplinary study of insect adhesion : functional biomechanics and applications
The ability of insects to successfully attach to a wide variety of surfaces with seemingly little to no effort has fascinated naturalists and researchers for hundreds of years. The observation of a fly climbing up a window, or spider walking upside down on our ceilings is a commonly overlooked and …
