Beeping socks and chirping arm bands: wearables that foster free play
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015-06-10)Three wearable playful accessories incorporate design principles that promote individuality, natural interaction, ubiquity, and intimacy to encourage spontaneous open- ended social interaction in school-age children. -
Behaviour of a concrete wall containing micro‐encapsulated PCM after a decade of its construction
(Elsevier, 2019)Today, our society has the duty of reducing the energy consumed in the building sector. A promising technology to achieve this goal is the implementation of thermal energy storage (TES) solutions in buildings envelope. ... -
Behaviour of green facades in Mediterranean Continental climate
(Elsevier, 2011)In order to obtain data on the behaviour of green facades in buildings as a passive system for energy savings in dry Mediterranean Continental climate a long-term work has been performed. This paper presents the first ... -
Benchmarking of useful phase change materials for a building application
(Elsevier, 2018)Nowadays, there is an increasing interest in more efficient building materials and new technologies to accomplish the objectives defined by energy policies. The combination of energy efficient building designs and integration ... -
Biblio-MetReS for user-friendly mining of genes and biological processes in scientific documents
(PeerJ, 2014)One way to initiate the reconstruction of molecular circuits is by using automated text-mining techniques. Developing more efficient methods for such reconstruction is a topic of active research, and those methods are ... -
Biblio-MetReS: A bibliometric network reconstruction application and server
(BioMed Central, 2011)Background: Reconstruction of genes and/or protein networks from automated analysis of the literature is one of the current targets of text mining in biomedical research. Some user-friendly tools already perform this ... -
Bibliometric analysis of smart control applications in thermal energy storage systems. A model predictive control approach
(Elsevier, 2020)In the existing literature, the importance of control methods used to manage the operation of thermal energy storage systems increased in the last years. However, the application of smart control strategies is still far ... -
Big Data y Ordenación de Montes: qué ha cambiado en realidad?
(Sociedad Española de Ciencias Forestales, 2017)Aunque la ordenación de montes ha sido necesariamente multifuncional en nuestras condiciones mediterráneas, nunca ha experimentado más y más diversas demandas que en la actualidad, y es de esperar que éstas aumenten en ... -
Bioinspired electronic white cane implementation based on a LIDAR, a tri-axial accelerometer and a tactile belt
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International (MDPI), 2010)This work proposes the creation of a bioinspired electronic white cane for blind people using the whiskers principle for short-range navigation and exploration. Whiskers are coarse hairs of an animal's face that tells the ... -
Blacklist muti-objective genetic algorithm for energy saving in heterogeneous environments
(Springer, 2017)Reducing energy consumption in large-scale computing facilities has become a major concern in recent years. Most of the techniques have focused on determining the computing requirements based on load predictions and thus ... -
Boolean lexicographic optimization: algorithms & applications
(Springer Verlag, 2011)Multi-Objective Combinatorial Optimization (MOCO) problems find a wide range of practical application problems, some of which involving Boolean variables and constraints. This paper develops and evaluates algorithms for ... -
Boosting Open CSPs
(Springer Verlag, 2006)In previous work, a new approach called Open CSP (OCSP) was defined as a way of integrate information gathering and problem solving. Instead of collecting all variable values before CSP resolution starts, OCSP asks for ... -
Building a Mobile Robot for a Floor-Cleaning Operation in Domestic Environments
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2004)Domestic robots are one of the new industrial challenges. In this paper, a floor-cleaning robot specifically designed for this function is proposed. Aspects such as sensor placement, motor control, robot control, and ... -
Building a usable and accessible semantic web interaction platform
(Springer, 2010)Semantic Web applications take off is being slower than expected, at least with respect to “real-world” applications and users. One of the main reasons for this lack of adoption is that most Semantic Web user interfaces ... -
Building integration of PCM for natural cooling of buildings
(Elsevier, 2013)The use of night cooling ventilation in addition of phase change materials (PCMs) is a very powerful strategy for reducing the cooling demand of buildings. Nevertheless, there are inherent drawbacks in the way things ... -
Building thermal storage technology: Compensating renewable energy fluctuations
(Elsevier, 2020)Emerging technologies and new intelligent management systems will be needed to rise to the energy challenges posed by buildings today. Thermally activated building systems (TABS) are attracting growing interest on the back ... -
Capturing Structure with Satisfiability
(Springer Verlag, 2001)We present Regular-SAT, an extension of Boolean Satisfiability basedon a class of many-valuedCNF formulas. Regular-SAT shares many properties with Boolean SAT, which allows us to generalize some of the best known SAT ... -
Caracterización de las propiedades físicas de aceites vegetales para ser utilizados como carburante en motores diesel
(Asociación de Químicos del Instituto Químico de Sarriá, 2010-09)La densidad y la viscosidad de los aceites vegetales tienen valores más elevados que los del gasóleo de automoción para una misma temperatura. Ya que dichos parámetros dependen mucho de la temperatura, con un precalenta ... -
Carbonaceous residues from biomass gasification as catalysts for biodiesel production
(Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of SciencesElsevier, 2012)Tars and alkali ashes from biomass gasification processes currently constitute one of the major problems in biomass valorisation, generating clogging of filters and issues related with the purity of syngas production.
