S-PC: An e-treatment application for management of smoke-quitting patients
(Elsevier, 2014)The main objective ofthis paper is to present a new program thatfacilitates the management of people who want to quit smoking, implemented through an e-treatment software called S-PC (Smoker Patient Control). S-PC is a ... -
SAT-based MaxSAT algorithms
(Elsevier, 2013)Many industrial optimization problems can be translated to MaxSAT. Although the general problem is NP hard, like SAT, many practical problems may be solved using modern MaxSAT solvers. In this paper we present several ... -
Scalable Consistency in T-Coffee Through Apache Spark and Cassandra Database
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2018)Next-generation sequencing, also known as high-throughput sequencing, has increased the volume of genetic data processed by sequencers. In the bioinformatic scientific area, highly rated multiple sequence alignment tools, ... -
Scalar field oscillations contributing to dark energy
(American Physical Society, 2005)We use action-angle variables to describe the basic physics of coherent scalar field oscillations in the expanding universe. These analytical mechanics methods have some advantages, like the identification of adiabatic ... -
Seguimiento y control de pacientes fumadores en proceso de deshabituación mediante SMS. Una experiencia en e-salud
(Asociación Española de Estudios en Drogodependencias, 2014)El consumo de tabaco continúa siendo una importante causa de morbilidad y mortalidad. El proceso terapéutico para abandonar el tabaco consiste en la desintoxicación física de la nicotina y en el mantenimiento de la abstinencia ... -
Selection and characterization of recycled materials for sensible thermal energy storage
(Elsevier, 2012)Alternative low cost materials are evaluated through the valorization of by-products derived from mining and metallurgical industry for solid sensible heat based energy storage systems. They were used either as received ... -
Selection of materials with potential in sensible thermal energy storage
(Elsevier, 2010)Thermal energy storage is a technology under investigation since the early 1970s. Since then, numerous new applications have been found and muchwork has been done to bring this technology to the market. Nevertheless, the ... -
Selection of the appropriate phase change material for two innovative compact energy storage systems in residential buildings
(MDPI, 2020)The implementation of thermal energy storage systems using phase change materials to support the integration of renewable energies is a key element that allows reducing the energy consumption in buildings by increasing ... -
Semantic copyright management for internet-wide knowledge sharing and reuse
(Emerald, 2008)Purpose – To extract the full potential from internet-wide knowledge sharing and reuse, the underlying copyright issues must be taken into account and managed using digital rights management (DRM) tools. The paper aims ... -
Semantic data integration in a newspaper content management system
(Springer, 2006)A newspaper content management system has to deal with a very heterogeneous information space as the experience in the Diari Segre newspaper has shown us. The greatest problem is to harmonise the different ways the involved ... -
Semantic Web applications: a framework for industry and business exploitation – What is needed for the adoption of the Semantic Web from the market and industry
(Inderscience, 2008)In recent years, Semantic Web (SW) research has resulted in significant outcomes. Various industries have adopted SW technologies, while the ‘deep web’ is still pursuing the critical transformation point, in which the ... -
Semantics-supported cooperative learning for enhanced awareness
(Inderscience, 2007)Awareness is required for supporting all forms of cooperation. In Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), awareness can be used for enhancing collaborative opportunities across physical distances and in ... -
Sensitivity of tree volume measurement to trajectory errors from a terrestrial LIDAR scanner
(Elsevier, 2010)The use of terrestrial LIDARs in agriculture enables the measurement of structural parameters of the orchards such as the volume of the trees. The sequence of two-dimensional scans performed with a LIDAR attached to a ... -
Sensor networks and distributed CSP: communication, computation and complexity
(Elsevier, 2005)We introduce SensorDCSP, a naturally distributed benchmark based on a real-world application that arises in the context of networked distributed systems. In order to study the performance of Distributed CSP (DisCSP) ... -
Service life of the dwelling stock in Spain
(Springer Verlag, 2013)Purpose Service life of buildings is an essential parameter to evaluate its operational impact in life cycle assessment (LCA). Although most studies assume building service life about 75 to 100 years since no reliable ... -
Simulation analysis of an innovative micro-solar 2kWe Organic Rankine Cycle plant coupled with a multi-apartments building for domestic hot water supply
(Elsevier, 2019)Combined heat and power plants driven by renewable energy sources (RES) are becoming more and more popular, given the energy transition towards the integration of more renewable energy sources in the power generation mix. ... -
Simulation and control of thermally activated building systems (TABS)
(Elsevier, 2016)Buildings account for a significant amount of global energy use and CO2 emissions. Thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS) are a technology with potential for significantly reducing buildings energy use. TABS are heating ... -
