Creación sonora sobre fluidos
(Universitat de Barcelona; Hipatia Press, 2015)El sonido y su dimensión abstracta desde la no musicalidad, ofrecen y han ofrecido desde el pasado, bastas posibilidades en relación con la creación. En este artículo, en particular, se presenta uno de los campos más ... -
Margaret Watts Hughes. La Pionera olvidada del arte sonoro
(Universitat de Barcelona; Hipatia Press, 2022)En Cuando analizamos atentamente el papel de la mujer en la historia del arte en general, observaremos como la gran mayoría de museos y colecciones del mundo, tienen en sus fondos depositadas obras ... -
Pneumatic Urban Waste Collection Systems: A Review
(MDPI, 2023)Due to the increasing need for a more sustainable environment, the study of waste management strategies is increasing worldwide. Pneumatic urban waste collection is an alternative to conventional truck collection, especially ... -
New Reasoning Models: Improving Optimisation and Decision Support with the Management of Uncertainty and Constraints
(Springer, 2022)Formal models for reasoning are of outmost importance in the feld of Intelligent Systems. This special issue is focused on reasoning methods that involve the management of uncertainty or constraints, and its application ... -
Voiceprint and machine learning models for early detection of bulbar dysfunction in ALS
(Elsevier, 2023)Background and Objective: Bulbar dysfunction is a term used in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It refers to motor neuron disability in the corticobulbar area of the brainstem which leads to a dysfunction of speech ... -
Carbon Footprint: the case of four chicken meat products sold on the Spanish market
(MDPI, 2022-11-18)Despite its relatively low environmental impact within the livestock sector, the poultry sector still faces its own environmental challenges that need to be addressed. The present paper uses life cycle assessment to quantify ... -
Relationship between lean manufacturing tools and their sustainable economic benefits.
(2022-10-12)Traditionally, the isolated relationship of total preventive maintenance (TPM), quick setup (QS), overall equipment effec- tiveness (OEE), and one-piece flow (OPF) with economic sustainability (ESU) has been investigated; ... -
Techno-economic analysis of a concrete storage concept for parabolic trough solar power plants
(Elsevier, 2023)In an energy transition towards 100 % renewable electricity, concentrating solar power (CSP) with thermal energy storage (TES) should be deployed on a wide scale due to the dispatchability capacity of this technology. To ... -
Thermal energy storage co-benefits in building applications transferred from a renewable energy perspective
(Elsevier, 2023)Although one of the main aims of using renewable energy sources in building applications is to reduce the environmental impact caused by the high global energy demand of buildings, it can also produce other positive effects, ... -
Numerical analysis of the combination of radiative collectors and emitters to improve the performance of water-water compression heat pumps under different climates
(Elsevier, 2023)Radiative cooling allows to cool down surfaces in a renewable way. It can be combined with solar collection functionality to produce heat and cold in a single device known as Radiative Collector and Emitter (RCE). In this ... -
Effect of the Sustainable Supply Chain on Business Performance— The Maquiladora Experience
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022)Mexican maquiladoras have a complex and intensive supply chain because they import raw materials from other countries and export their final products. This paper reports a structural equation model with three independent ... -
Potential Use of Cow Manure for Poly (Lactic Acid) Production
(MDPI, 2022)Cow manure is an abundant residue and poses a problem regarding recycling. Intensive animal farming produces manure, which, if not properly managed, can contaminate nearby water bodies and soils with nutrient excess. There ... -
Ambivalence in decision making: An eye tracking study
(Elsevier, 2022)An intuition of ambivalence in cognition is particularly strong for complex decisions, for which the merits and demerits of different options are roughly equal but hard to compare. We examined information search in an ... -
Optimal PID Control of a Brushed DC Motor with an Embedded Low-Cost Magnetic Quadrature Encoder for Improved Step Overshoot and Undershoot Responses in a Mobile Robot Application
(MDPI, 2022)The development of a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control system is a simple, practical, highly effective method used to control the angular rotational velocity of electric motors. This paper describes the ... -
Thermo-economic optimization of a multi-source (air/sun/ground) residential heat pump with a water/PCM thermal storage
(Elsevier, 2022)The main target of this paper is to numerically study a multi-source (air/sun/ground) heat pump with the implementation of a thermal energy storage, using either water or PCM, for residential space heating. The system was ... -
Application of a Single-Type eNose to Discriminate the Brewed Aroma of One Caffeinated and Decaffeinated Encapsulated Espresso Coffee Type
(MDPI, 2022)This paper assesses a custom single-type electronic nose (eNose) applied to differentiate the complex aromas generated by the caffeinated and decaffeinated versions of one encapsulated espresso coffee mixture type. The ... -
The Assistant Personal Robot Project: From the APR-01 to the APR-02 Mobile Robot Prototypes
(MDPI, 2022)This paper describes the evolution of the Assistant Personal Robot (APR) project developed at the Robotics Laboratory of the University of Lleida, Spain. This paper describes the first APR-01 prototype developed, the basic ... -
Life cycle assessment of the inclusion of phase change materials in lightweight buildings
(Elsevier, 2022)This research evaluates environmental impact of including phase change materials in the envelope of lightweight buildings constructed off-site with dimensions 2.5 × 2.5 × 2.43 m3, located in the cities of Antofagasta and ... -
