Directionality and soils' effects on the seismic hazard and risk : applications to ground motion big data sets and to urban environments
Earthquakes are defined as a "violent shaking of the Earth's crust and mantle, caused by forces acting inside the Earth". In most cases, these forces are caused by an energy release process generated from the contact of ...
Modified polymers as electroactive biomaterials
Development of polymeric biomaterials with tailored properties is essential for expanding biotechnologies and, therefore, proposing novel solutions for diagnostic and treatments in modern medicine. In order to contribute ...
Biological control approaches of Meloidogyne spp. in vegetable crops : from application of selected antagonists to suppressive soils
Root-knot nematodes (RKN), Meloidogyne spp., are the most economically important genus of plant parasitic nematodes that cause considerable damage and yield losses of horticultural crops worldwide. RKN management strategies ...
Infrared optical filters based in macroporous silicon for espectroscopic gas detection
Gas detection is of great importance in areas as diverse as industry, health or safety in domestic environments or public spaces, among others, and it is highly specific to each application. The detection method depends ...
Health-aware predictive control schemes based on industrial processes
The research is motivated by real applications, such as pasteurization plant, water networks and autonomous system, which each of them require a specific control system to provide proper management able to take into account ...
Traffic synchronization with controlled time of arrival for cost-efficient trajectories in high-density terminal airspace
The growth in air traffic has led to a continuously growing environmental sensitivity in aviation, encouraging the research into methods for achieving a greener air transportation. In this context, continuous descent ...
La persistencia de lo habitable : Socoroma y la construcción del paisaje del agua : el habitar y la gestión del agua para la construcción del paisaje de los pueblos alto-andinos del norte de Chile
The study of Traditional Ancestral Knowledge associated with the construction of a landscape and a way of living, constitutes an effective mechanism to move towards sustainable development. It is a body of technical ...
Specific energy consumption of metal cutting with thin abrasive discs
The aim of this research is to provide an in-depth understanding of energy consumption in abrasive disc cutting processes. The specific energy consumed in cutting is measured,analysed, and then characterised in to three ...
La ciudad de Donostia-San Sebastián antes de 1813 : reivindicación de su presencia
The history of the urban development of Donostia San Sebastian before its near total destruction by the Anglo-Portuguese troops of Wellington in 1813 has been little studied and never in a comprehensive and orderly manner. ...
Mathematical modelling to study infectious diseases: from understanding to prediction
Each year 10 million people die from communicable diseases. They are infectious diseases caused by agents transmitted between individuals. Nowadays, the two infectious diseases that have the greatest impact are tuberculosis ...
Flexibility services for distribution network operation
On the way towards a low carbon electricity system, flexibility has become one of the main sources for achieving it. Flexibility can be understood as the ability of a power system to cope with the variability and uncertainty ...
Bound states in the continuum in planar anisotropic structures
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are modes that remain radiationless though they exist in the part of the spectrum that corresponds to radiating waves. They are a general wave phenomenon and following initial theoretical ...
Allocation designs for massive multiple access with interference cancellation
In the transition towards the next generation of wireless technology systems, the increasing number of devices curbs the potential of current wireless networks to cope with such increases in network density. Wireless ...
High efficiency sensorless fault tolerant control of permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motor
In the last decades, the development trends of high efficiency and compact electric drives on the motor side focused on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machines (PMSMs) equipped with magnets based on the rare-earth elements. ...
Energy security in power systems within the frame of energy transitions
Climate change is real. Global human population is growing as never before. Natural resources are limited. These factors have taken different countries to embrace new pathways in order to fulfill the energy needs of their ...
Dynamic OD matrix estimation exploiting ICT traffic measurements
During the last decades, urban mobility has become the main concern for city councils and transportation operators. The main problem is the traffic congestion that easily appears in urban networks, producing negative ...
Constructed wetlands for winery wastewater treatment: Sustainability and circular economy in the wine sector
The wine industry generates large volumes of wastewater originating from various processes and operations carried out during wine production. Winery wastewater (WWW) is characterized by highly variable flows and loadings. ...
Sistemas de Gestión de Residuos Sólidos Urbanos (RSU) : Metodología para el análisis técnico-económico con valoración de las externalidades y casos de estudio
Currently, there is a serious problem due to the large generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) due to the high consumption rates of the population and the short time of use of the products. Moreover, there is poor waste ...
Propiedades vitreas emergentes en cristales moleculares
One of the most complex and unsolved problems in physics is the glass transition problem, in which the resulting state, the glass, exhibits unique and anomalous properties. During the transition, a kinetic freezing phenomenon ...
Entre el campanar i l'habitatge: la urbanitat en l'interstici. Constants i variables colonitzadores a partir de la contribució urbanística de José Borobio a la Delegació Regional de l’Ebre de l’Institut Nacional de Colonització (1944-1965)
The motivation for the research starts from the interest in understanding the rules of urban composition and the attributes of urbanity that blossom in the Franco’s Colonization oeuvre developed during the period 1944-1965, ...
