Shaping transport infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa (1884-2020). The impact of decision-making on network efficiency and sustainability: the case of Cameroon
(English) The objective of this research is to delve into the decision-making processes that shape the provision of transport infrastructure. To this end, it analyses the historical evolution of transport networks in ...
Entendiendo los Parques Nacionales como reflejo de nuestra capacidad para vivir en un medio natural. Una mirada a través de la habitabilidad, Parque Torres del Paine
(English) Since last decade, tourism in Chilean Patagonia has grown rapidly, largely promoted by State policies and encouraged by privately held companies, whose objective is to turn this region into a pole of attraction ...
High-fidelity numerical simulations of reacting flows with tabulated chemistry
(English) In the transition to net-zero carbon emission technologies, turbulent combustion is expected to retain an important role in various applications. In particular, the aviation industry is projected to widely adapt ...
Environmental impact accounting of organic agricultural production systems: advancing inventory and biodiversity modelling approaches in life cycle assessment
(English) Agriculture not only contributes to more than a quarter of all global greenhouse gas emissions but is also the number one anthropogenic source of nitrogen emissions and a danger to nearly half of threatened ...
Mathematical programming models to design and analyse efficient and robust raiway freight transport networks
(English) Searching to achieve an ambitious reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, the European Union has set as a goal a modal shift in freight transport of 30\% by rail or waterborne for the near future. The increasing ...
Mid-infrared surface sensing based ontTwo-dimensional materials
(English) Mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy in the wavelength region between 2 and 20 µm is a powerful technique to identify vibrational absorption signatures of molecules, finding in this way extensive applications in ...
Dc-dc converters for HVDC heterogeneous interconnections
(English) High voltage direct current (HVDC) technologies have been used for bulk power transmission over long distances since the 1950s. These technologies have proven to be the most cost-efficient compared to the high ...
Mechanical characterisation of masonry in existing structures by means of laboratory and in-situ experimental techniques
(English) Masonry structures are among the most abundant construction typologies in the world, having been commonly built until the second half of the 20th century. The determination of the mechanical properties of these ...
Anàlisi del comportament de bigues de formigó armat reforçades amb FRCM vegetal sota càrregues de flexió cíclica
(English) Fiber-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) is a strengthening method that has been increasing its importance versus Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) due the lower cost and lower toxicity of its materials. The ...
Quality of service, security and trustworthiness for network slices
(English) The telecommunications' systems are becoming much more intelligent and dynamic due to the expansion of the multiple network types (i.e., wired, wireless, Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-based networks). Due ...
Technologies for injection molded antennas for mass production
