Every year, the textile industry generates large amounts of cellulosic waste during the production and fabrication stages. This waste is made up of fibers, with lengths are less than 10 mm that prevent its reintroduction ...
Genetically modified crops are submitted to strict regulation to ensure the safety of consumers and the environment. To complement the comparison between GM plants and their counterparts, in the present Thesis, we evaluated ...
The presence of several pharmaceutical active compounds (PhACs) in water bodies has garnered increasing attention and worldwide concern. The effluents from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are one of the main sources ...
Xylella fastidiosa is one of the most damaging phytopathogenic bacteria in the world, causing a variety of diseases with a major economic impact on agriculture and the environment. Until now, no therapeutic solution has ...
The objective of this thesis is to develop fermented sausages with lower fat and sodium content by means of innovative processing and the use of fat and NaCl substitutes. The effect of sunflower oil and pork lard-based ...
Agricultural waste is of particularly interest due to abudant, cheap, widely available worldwide and renewable material. It represent a good option for wood sources substitution, containing similar in chemical and physical ...
Aquesta tesi doctoral i tot el treball experimental s’ha realitzat dintre les línies de treball del grup de recerca, Laboratori d’Enginyeria Paperera i Materials Polímers (LEPAMAP) de l’Escola Politècnica Superior de la ...
The exponential increase of the atmospheric concentration of green-house gases due to human activities is responsible for the acceleration of global warming and climate change. Recently, scientific studies have pointed ...
More than half of spinal cord injury patients develop central neuropathic pain, which is largely refractory to current treatments. Developing neuropathic pain has a high impact on the quality of life becoming an emotional, ...
This thesis focuses on the study of the global green house gas (GHG) emissions from wastewater systems. Nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are the main GHG directly emitted from wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). In ...
El sistema de depuració de tipus Fangs Actius constitueix una de les tècniques més esteses arreu del món pel tractament biològic de les aigües residuals. Els softwares de modelització i simulació permeten adquirir ...
WWTP present two issues: 1) Get adequate depuration performance; 2) Do it with minimal costs. There are many strategies that can be applied to achieve these requirements, but they cannot be applied indiscriminately. In ...
Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is engineered to use electric power and carbon dioxide (CO2) as the only energy and carbon sources in reductive bioelectrochemical processes for biosynthesis. This technology is conducted ...
Feeding strategy is very important for farmers to improve pig productive parameters and keep its competitive advantage in the market. The computed tomography (CT) technology can evaluate the effect of feeding strategy on ...
For a long time, there has been a need and an ambition to better understand the behavior of integrated systems by considering the whole urban water cycle, including wastewater transportation, wastewater treatment and the ...
Bacterial spot disease of stone fruits, caused by Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni, is of high economic importance in the major stone-fruit-producing areas worldwide. Disease control is mainly based on preventive measures, ...
The main objective pursued in this thesis targets the development and systematization of a methodology that allows addressing management problems in the dynamic operation of Urban Wastewater Systems. The proposed methodology ...
Membrane bioreactors (MBR) are a combination of common bioreactors and membrane filtration units for biomass retention, presenting unique advantages like high effluent quality and a smaller footprint than the one by ...
This doctoral thesis has integrated biological models (activated sludge models “ASM”) with simulation tools of computational fluid dynamics “CFD”, and has applied them to the design of two advanced technologies for wastewater ...
Blast of pear caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae is one of the bacterial disease that limit pear production throughout the world. Symptoms are characterized by blast of buds and blossoms wich causes significant ...
