An important issue in today's information society is the security of data transmission against potential intruders, which always put at risk the confidentiality. Current methods to increase security require that the two ...
In the current environment of markets globalization and fierce competition, process industries must strive to remain competitive. In this sense, companies pursue decision integration among the different space and time ...
European building stock is characterised by low energy efficiency and high structural vulnerability with respect to earthquakes, especially in seismic prone areas like Italy. In fact, the vast majority of buildings has ...
La planificación de la producción en plantas de proceso discontinuo es uno de los problemas más complejos e importantes para una amplia variedad de procesos industriales. A pesar de esta importancia la planificación de la ...
Quantum nanophotonics aims at studying the interaction between matter and single photons at the nanoscale. Nanoscopic solid state light sources can be placed in near proximity to other photonic elements to engineer their ...
An optimal strategy for monitoring water quality should be based on a combination of different technologies depending on the particularities of the system being observed. The final solution will be a combination of laboratory ...
Nowadays, due to the growing fresh water demand, several processes are used to purify seawater by means of desalination or industrial brackish water by different treatment processes. The main limitation of these techniques ...
Nowadays mining and hydrometallurgical industries generate a considerable amount of acidic liquid wastes (ALWs), which are characterised by a low pH and the presence of metals (e.g. Fe, Cu, Zn and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) ...
(English) Zirconia-based ceramics present unique combination of mechanical, thermal and chemical properties, making them a preferred choice in automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, defence and healthcare sectors. However, ...
An interval observer has been illustrated to be a suitable approach to detect and isolate faults affecting complex dynamical industrial systems. Concerning fault detection, interval observation is an appropriate passive ...
The main topic of the thesis is the study of Elliptic PDEs. It is divided into three parts: (I) integro-differential equations, (II) stable solutions to reaction-diffusion problems, and (III) weighted isoperimetric and ...
The study focuses on SMEs in the industrial sector in Catalonia, with the aim of identifying competitive intelligence systems suitable for SMEs, the areas with the greatest potential impact with the implementation of a ...
(English) In the last years, the condition monitoring of structures has evolved and improved using technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensor networks, and industry 4.0 because of the multiple advantages these ...
With ever more powerful machines being constantly deployed, it is crucial to manage the computational resources efficiently. This is important both from the point of view of the individual user, who expects fast results; ...
(English) Nowadays, distributed energy resources are widely used to supply demand in micro grids especially in green buildings. These resources are usually connected by using power electronic converters, which act as ...
La interacción microorganismo–hormigón es un proceso que, debido a la naturaleza porosa del hormigón, lo hace susceptible de ser colonizado por los microorganismos presentes en prácticamente todos los hábitats. Esta ...
Les interaccions no lineals de segon ordre són, probablement, uns dels processos de l'òptica no lineal més utilitzats i rellevants en quant a les seves aplicacions. Aquestes interaccions només són eficients en materials ...
Most biological systems are complex and consist of several interconnected parts whose links can contain additional information which can be hidden from the observer. As a result of the interactions between elements, emergent ...
A number of problems, e.g. sudden inflows are encountered during tunneling under the piezometric level, especially when the excavation crosses high transmissivity areas. These inflows may drag materials when the tunnel ...
Underground constructions below the water table may be problematic if the role of groundwater is not properly acknowledged. Difficulties worsen in urban environments. Two aspects should be taken into account in the interaction ...
