Inter-building assessment of urban heat island mitigation strategies: Field tests and numerical modelling in a simplified-geometry experimental set-up
(Elsevier, 2020)Large scale mitigation strategies showed to represent promising solutions for enhancing liveability in dense urban contexts. Therefore, most of the researches are focused on assessing the effect of high albedo surfaces and ... -
Earthworm community and soil microstructure changes with long-term organic fertilization
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-24)The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sludge compost (SC) in two rates and pig slurry (PS) on soil quality, in the framework of a field experiment (19-year-old) in a Mediterranean rainfed system. The treatments ... -
Theoretical aspects of dynamic metal speciation with electrochemical techniques
(Elsevier, 2017)Understanding the reaction-diffusion processes of metal species is essential for an adequate description and control of metal availability. Electroanalytical techniques are well suited to probe dynamic speciation in aqueous ... -
Time weighted average concentrations measured with Diffusive Gradients in Thin films (DGT)
(Elsevier, 2019-07-04)Time weighted average (TWA) concentrations can improve the assessment of water quality. DGT (Diffusive Gradients in Thin films) devices have been suggested as simple tools to measure TWA metal concentrations, but the ... -
Assessment of labilities of metal complexes with the dynamic ion exchange technique
(CSIRO Publishing, 2019)The dynamic ion exchange technique (DIET) is proposed to provide speciation information, which can be used to establish links with metal bioavailability in natural waters. The experimental setup consists of a few milligrams ... -
Linoleic acid metabolic pathway allows for an efficient increase of intramuscular fat content in pigs
(BMC, 2019-05-07)Background: Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is a relevant trait for high-quality meat products such as dry-cured ham, but increasing IMF has the undesirable correlated effect of decreasing lean growth. Thus, there is a ... -
Spectra and eigenspaces of arbitrary lifts of graphs
(Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, Comenius University, 2019)We describe, in a very explicit way, a method for determining the spec-tra and bases of all the corresponding eigenspaces of arbitrary lifts of graphs (regularor not). -
The diameter of cyclic Kautz digraphs
(Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, University of Nis, Serbia, 2017)We present a new kind of digraphs, called cyclic Kautz digraphs CK(d, ɭ), which are subdigraphs of the well-known Kautz digraphs K(d,ɭ). The latter have the smallest diameter among all digraphs with their number of ... -
A note on a new general family of deterministic hierarchical networks
(World Scientific Publishing, 2019)It is known that many networks modeling real-life complex systems are small-word (large local clustering and small diameter) and scale-free (power law of the degree distribution), and very often they are also hierarchical. ... -
Trajectory analysis in community ecology
(Ecological Society of America, 2019)Ecologists have long been interested in how communities change over time. Addressing questions about community dynamics requires ways of representing and comparing the variety of dynamics observed across space. Until now, ... -
Fruit detection in an apple orchard using a mobile terrestrial laser scanner
(Academic Press. Published by Elsevier, 2019-09-21)The development of reliable fruit detection and localization systems provides an opportunity to improve the crop value and management by limiting fruit spoilage and optimised harvesting practices. Most proposed systems for ... -
Modelling approaches for mixed forests dynamics prognosis. Research gaps and opportunities
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2019-04-29)Aim of study: Modelling of forest growth and dynamics has focused mainly on pure stands. Mixed-forest management lacks systematic procedures to forecast the impact of silvicultural actions. The main objective of the present ... -
Innovative composite sorbent for thermal energy storage based on a SrBr2·6H2O filled silicone composite foam
(Elsevier, 2019)This paper reports about the first experimental activity on a composite material for thermal energy storage, based on a SrBr2·6H2O filled silicone foam. The morphological and thermal features of the composite with different ... -
Potential of energy flexible buildings: Evaluation of DSM strategies using building thermal mass
(Elsevier, 2019)Energy flexible buildings through smart demand-side management (DSM) or smart demand response (DR) using efficient energy storage, are currently one of the most promising options to deploy low-carbon technologies in the ... -
Magic coverings and the Kronecker product
(2014)In this paper we study a relationship existing among (super) magic coverings and the well known Kronecker product of matrices. We also introduce the concept of Zn-property for digraphs in order to study this relation ... -
Gas engine heat pump system: Experimental facility and thermal evaluation for 5 different units
(Elsevier, 2019)Gas Engine Heat Pump requires simplified characterization models that allow evaluating its economic and energy impacts. These simplified solutions can be implemented in complex simulation algorithms for different commercial ... -
Promoting social creativity in science education with digital technology to overcome inequalities: a scoping review
(Frontiers Media, 2019-07-02)Enhancing creativity and developing technology skills in the classroom are the future of education and can turn out to be powerful tools to smooth out inequalities in class. This paper presents a systematic scoping review ... -
Multiple Resistance to Synthetic Auxin Herbicides and Glyphosate in Parthenium hysterophorus Occurring in Citrus Orchards
(American Chemical Society, 2019-08-15)Dominican farmers have started to apply synthetic auxin herbicides (SAHs) as the main alternative to mitigate the impacts of the occurrence of glyphosate-resistant (GR) Parthenium hysterophorus populations in citrus orchards. ... -
