(English) The use of plant protection products (PPP) has become an essential tool in agriculture to achieve the minimum requirements of quality and quantity of food demanded by consumers. Moreover, due to its repeated use ...
In this thesis an assessment of the parameterization of the Aerosol-Radiation Interaction (ARI) in online integrated meteorology-chemistry models has been conducted. The model estimates of ARI radiative effects are still ...
Space re-entry is a challenging endeavor due to the harsh thermo-chemical environment around the vehicle. Heat flux being the reference parameter for Thermal Protection System (TPS) design, the total energy transfer can ...
(English) This thesis aims to enhance the conceptual model of the Lake Chad Basin's quaternary aquifer by gathering updated hydrological, geological, meteorological, and groundwater data. Objectives include analyzing natural ...
In the city of Barcelona and the townships situated in the deltaic area of the Besòs River, groundwater is recognized as an aspect of urban water cycle management. There is groundwater seepage into infrastructure and ...
Urban air pollution is of major concern in Spain and also throughout Europe and globally with numerous effects on human health and ecosystems. Since air quality (AQ) is predominantly a problem for human health and the ...
Severe accidents in light water nuclear reactors occur when reactor vessel water inventory decreases and there is no available additional water coolant to be delivered into the core. In general, during an extended severe ...
(English) The circular economy is an emerging concept presented as a solution to counteract the damage caused by the linear economic scheme followed in the past decades. It is based on the principle of "closing the life ...
Due to the exponential grown of the population within the last decades, the landslide hazard assessment of earthflows and rockfalls and their hazard mapping have become an essential tool for the territory management, mostly ...
Research value, research relevance, research quality, and research impact have been widely tackled by various disciplines, such as health, engineering, management, and sustainability. How research and innovation are being ...
Cardiovascular diseases are an increasing source of concern in modern societies due to their increasing prevalence and high impact on the lives of many people. Monitoring cardiovascular parameters in ambulatory scenarios ...
Avui en dia la conversió DC-AC té una important aplicació pràctica en el camp dels sistemes de potència ininterrompuda (SPI). Els convertidors commutats bàsics (el buck, lineal, i el boost i el buck-boost, no lineals) ...
This thesis aims to analyze in depth the latest works of the Ticino's architect Livio Vacchini (1933-2007) in order to be able to conclude that what makes it different and charm lies in the atemporal character of which is ...
The study of solar radiation is a key process for the exploitation of solar energy systems. In most cases, however, the availability of information is insufficient and not up-to-date. In addition, the interpolation of ...
The research of the place of theatre in Palma explores the existing, disappeared and closed spaces throughout the history of the city. This catalog includes 113 performance spaces, some with ostentatious will, but most of ...
An eminently urban landscape, an infrastructure element, and a -natural- port of general interest of the State, explained from architecture as a discipline and a starting point: this is the purpose of the doctoral thesis ...
lnSAR has been proved its unprecedented ability and merits of monitoring ground deformation on large scale with centimeter to millimeter scale accuracy. However, several factors affect the reliability and accuracy of its ...
In the last years free-space optical communications systems for wireless links have been proposed, studied, and implemented mainly due to the higher bandwidth that this technology is able to provide. Still, radio frequency ...
Los sistemas de posicionamiento global GNSS (GPS y GLONASS) se han convertido en una herramienta básica para obtener medidas geodésicas de la Tierra y en una fuente de datos para el estudio atmosférico. Proporcionan cobertura ...
The Atmospheric Boundary Layer Height (ABLH) is an important parameter in weather forecasting, meteorology, avionics, and air-quality and dispersion models. Local development of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) over ...
