Decarbonizing household heating: reviewing demographics, geography and low-carbon practices and preferences in five European countries
(Elsevier, 2021)What commonalities are there in sustainable or unsustainable heating practices in five high-income, high-emitting western European countries? What preferences do a nationally representative sample of the public in these ... -
Decision support tools and strategies to simulate forest landscape evolutions integrating forest owner behaviour: a review from the case studies of the European Project, INTEGRAL
(MDPI, 2017-04-13)For forest sustainability and vulnerability assessment, the landscape scale is considered to be more and more relevant as the stand level approaches its known limitations. This review, which describes the main forest ... -
Decompositions of a rectangle into non-congruent rectangles of equal area
(Elsevier, 2021-06)In this paper, we deal with a simple geometric problem: Is it possible to partition a rectangle into k non-congruent rectangles of equal area? This problem is motivated by the so-called 'Mondrian art problem' that asks a ... -
Deep learning optimal control for a solar-biomass system for residential buildings
(2022)Nowadays, it is well known that the reduction of energy consumption in buildings is crucial to achieve a substantial reduction of gas emission to the atmosphere and decrease the fast depletion of energy sources. Indeed, ... -
Definition of key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate innovative storage systems in concentrating solar power (CSP) plants
(International Solar Energy Society, 2021)The increasing penetration of renewable energies into the energy system is leading to significant development and deployment of generation plants based on the use of solar energy. On large scale, concentrating solar power ... -
Detection of silver nanoparticles in seawater at ppb levels using UV-visible spectrophotometry with long path cells
(Elsevier, 2017-03-01)Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are emerging contaminants that are difficult to detect in natural waters. UV-visible spectrophotometry is a simple technique that allows detection of AgNPs through analysis of their characteristic ... -
Determinants of grassland primary production in seasonally-dry silvopastoral systems in Central America
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-06-03)Grassland primary productivity is the function that underpins the majority of the fodder production in cattle-rearing silvopastoral farms. Hence, understanding the factors that determine grassland productivity is critical ... -
Determination of carotenoids by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry: effect of several dopants
(Springer Verlag, 2011)Various carotenoids were analyzed by ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry detection (UHPLC-MS/MS). Three different techniques to ionize the carotenoids were compared: electrospray ionization ... -
Development and experimental validation of a transient 2D numeric model for radiant walls
(Elsevier, 2018-01)An experimental set-up consisting of a house like cubicle exposed to outdoor weather was used to validate a numerical model of a radiant wall. The 2D transient finite volume model used as inputs the indoor temperature, ... -
Development of a new concrete for high-temperature thermal energy storage
(2022)Vision: Being a reference group of engineering at an international level, always linked to the University of Lleida. Mission: To propose solutions to the industry in the fields of sustainability, energy engineering and ... -
Development of a SCAR marker and a strain-specific genomic marker for the detection of the biocontrol agent strain CPA-8 Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (formerly B. subtilis)
(Wiley; Association of Applied Biologists, 2016)In this work, reliable tools were developed to detect and identify the biocontrol strain CPA-8 using DNA amplification techniques. As a first approach, the RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) technique was applied ... -
Development of a sequential workflow based on LC-PRM for the verification of endometrial cancer protein biomarkers in uterine aspirate samples
(Impact Journals, 2016)About 30% of endometrial cancer (EC) patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage of the disease, which is associated with a drastic decrease in the 5-year survival rate. The identification of biomarkers in uterine aspirate ... -
Development of a Small Solar Thermal Power Plant for Heat and Power Supply to Domestic and Small Business Buildings
(ASME, 2018)The small solar thermal power plant is being developed with funding from EU Horizon 2020 Program. The plant is configured around a 2-kWel Organic Rankine Cycle turbine and solar field, made of Fresnel mirrors. The solar ... -
Development of a smart control unit for small-scale concentrated solar combined heat and power systems for residential applications
(Elsevier, 2022)Solar energy has a significant potential for future power generation but its intermittent and variable nature results in fluctuations of the operational performance of solar power plants. Despite thermal energy storage ... -
Developmental patterns and rates of organogenesis across modern and well-adapted wheat cultivars
(Elsevier, 2021-04-12)Genetic gains in wheat yield are required to meet future demand. In order to design strategic crosses, it is essential to quantify the genetic variation among elite cultivars on traits responsible for the adaptation and ... -
Developmental-Based Classification of Enkephalin and Somatostatin Containing Neurons of the Chicken Central Extended Amygdala
(Frontiers Media, 2022)The central extended amygdala, including the lateral bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and the central amygdala, plays a key role in stress response. To understand how the central extended amygdala regulates stress it ... -
Differential expression of LIM-Homeodomain factors in Cajal-Retzius cells of primates, rodents, and birds
