In the chemical process industry, the decision-making hierarchy is inherently model-based. The scale and complexity of the considered models (e.g., enterprise, plant or unit model) depend on the decision-making level (e.g., ...
Towards sustainability forces process industries to change their traditional patterns. Therefore, efficient retrofitting has been a significant challenge and raised several issues, motivating the process system engineering ...
El alto grado de automatización adquirido en las plantas químicas durante las últimas décadas hace que las tareas de supervisión sean ahora más complejas y delicadas. Esta supervisión requiere de sistemas y herramientas ...
Nowadays. both electronic and microelectronic circuits have great relevance and wide application in our daily lives and are increasingly being used with higher powers and frequencies. One of the main problems faced by their ...
L’enginyeria de sistemes bioinspirats ha crescut en importància i nombre d’aplicacions en el últims anys, atraient l’atenció dels científics sobre els seus usos potencials en camps com ara la bionanotecnologia, la ...
Electrospinning is a manufacturing process that uses an electric field to produce fibers from a polymer solution. The accumulation of these fibers conform a three-dimensional fiber matrix or scaffold. Fibers can be prepared ...
The objective of this thesis is contributing to the development of a systematic modelling approach for a more efficient and sustainable water management. The main aim is introducing Chemical and Process System Engineering ...
The extracellular loops of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are predicted to play a role in the binding and regulation of allosteric modulators. Furthermore, the sequence of the five subtypes of muscarinic receptors shows ...
Plant safety is the most important concern of chemical industries. Process faults can cause economic loses as well as human and environmental damages. Most of the operational faults are normally considered in the process ...
Esta tesis consiste en la aplicación de la electroforesis capilar (CE) a la separación y cuantificación de especies cianuradas y al estudio del comportamiento de estas especies y de su destino final. Como material de estudio ...
At the present time, the environmental challenges are the second concern on a global level, and the first one in some countries. This is one of the main reasons behind the recent boost of new methods of production within ...
Phenolic compounds, ubiquitous in plants, are of considerable interest and are increasingly becoming a subject of intensive research due to their bioactive properties such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-mutagenic, ...
In Colombia, strategies are being promoted to increase fruit and vegetable production, in order to take advantage of agricultural potential. However, there are also high food losses, low consumption and low transformation. ...
The study at the nanoscopic level of the polymeric systems is a keystone for a deeper understanding of their internal structure and properties, not only at nanometric scale but also at macroscopic level. The disciplines ...
Esta tesis describe diferentes aplicaciones en el ámbito de la nanobiotecnología de los polímeros conductores generados electroquímicamente. El objetivo principal de la Tesis, que además es el nexo común de los diferentes ...
Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary branch of science and technology that involves a widerange of different fields such as chemistry, materials science, physics or chemical engineeringwhose goal is the production of new ...
The plastics industry is in constant evolution looking to improve the properties of new materials and performance in different applications. Currently, the environmental impact associated with the use of plastics is one ...
Vegetables and fruits are foods that have large number of compounds beneficial to health, as well as being essential in the diet. Its components include the phenolic substances. These compounds have a great antiradical ...
The worldwide poultry industry generates a large amount of wastes which, accordingly to the current law, are mostly discarded. These wastes include chicken feathers, keratin structures which 109.056.179 ton were generated ...
L'adob de pells ovines és un procés llarg i complex, en el que s'utilitza l'aigua com a vehicle per treure les parts no desitjables de la pell i introduir-hi productes químics per transformar-la. El resultat és la generació ...
