This dissertation has as its goal the quantitative evaluation of the application of<br/>coupled hydrodynamic, ecological and clarity models, to address the deterministic prediction of water clarity in lakes and reservoirs. ...
The anaerobic digestion of organic matter causes the formation of biogas that can be used in energy conversion systems for the production of electricity and heat, injection into the gas grid or as a fuel. However, biogas ...
Climate change is one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. The increase in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, in temperatures, and changes in the precipitation pattern are expected to alter the ...
Se trata de una Tesis Doctoral realizada en la modalidad de Tesis Doctoral por artículos, con el objetivo de analizar, en una perspectiva comparada con relación a los Sistemas de Gestión Medioambiental, qué son y qué ...
High temperature superconductivity and in particular YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) coated conductors (CCs) are a crucial technology for the drastic reduction of CO2 emissions. Since nowadays YBCO CCs are not competitive economically, ...
There are few documented cases and active programs of environmental education (EA) that support schools and teachers in their teaching for the care of the environment in the State of Guanajuato, Mexico. Two cases will be ...
We study the effect of organic farming practices on several taxa in olive groves and vineyards. Sessile organisms show a stronger response to treatment, their diversity being higher in organic vineyards. Vagile organism ...
This doctoral thesis aims to identify and characterize the relationships between stakeholders and water resources through the sociocultural and spatial analysis of the water ecosystem services (WES) in the social-ecological ...
This doctoral thesis addresses the relationship between the air pollutants particulate matter (PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), sulphur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and mental disorders in children and ...
El sector de pasta i paper és considerat un dels set sectors industrials més intensius en consum energètic. La producció i consum d'electricitat i de vapor esdevenen les fonts majoritàries d'emissions de gasos d'efecte ...
In order to evaluate the increasing environmental and human risk of anticancer drugs in the environment, more information needs to be gathered about their presence, their toxicity, bioaccumulation and persistence. In ...
The presence of xenobiotics - such as pharmaceutically active compounds, endocrine disrupting compounds and pesticides - in the aquatic environment has risen great environmental concern due to their high toxicity even at ...
Actualment, la indústria afronta el repte d'integrar les consideracions mediambientals en els seus plans de negoci. I no tan sols pel compromís ètic vers una correcta actuació mediambiental, sinó pel fet de que els clients ...
La pesca d'arrossegament practicada al mar Mediterrani incideix sobre un rang batimètric molt ampli i afecta a nombrosos tipus de fons que presenten comunitats molt diversificades, on les espècies de peixos, crustacis, ...
This research aims to contribute to the development and improvement of education for sustainable development (ESD) in a society increasingly knowledgeable, reflecting about appropriate ESD practices by promoting the ...
El presente estudio tiene como objetivo proporcionar una base de conocimiento sólida para la restauración ecológica de ríos, basada en la respuesta de comunidades acuáticas a cambios en la conectividad hídrica, factores ...
Based on the current knowledge about biofilm ecotoxicology and arsenic biogeochemistry in freshwater ecosystems, this thesis studied, under realistic environmental concentrations, i) the role of benthic biofilms in the ...
The combination of two membrane technologies coupled together in series has become a standard technology when it comes to producing reclaimed water of high quality for potable reclamation or industrial applications. This ...
Hydrological drought is a process of natural desiccation mainly due to large shortage of rainfall events. Reduced precipitations and prolonged droughts are spreading worldwide and threaten the integrity of aquatic ...
Coastal wetlands and lagoons are some of the most fluctuating and productive ecosystems in the world. As transition zones between marine and continental environments, they provide numerous ecosystem services, including the ...
