Goppa codes over the p-adic integers and integers modulo pe
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
Goppa codes were defined by Valery D. Goppa in 1970. In 1978, Robert J. McEliece used this family of error-correcting codes in his cryptosystem, which has gained popularity in the last decade due to its resistance to attacks ...
Conditioning the volatile stream from biomass fast pyrolysis for the attenuation of steam reforming catalyst deactivation
(Elsevier, 2022-03)
The fast deactivation of the reforming catalyst greatly conditions H2 production from biomass. In order to alleviate this problem, use of conditioning catalysts in a previous conditioning step has been proposed to modify ...
A feasibility study of the installation of a modular bioreactor inside a chemical scrubber at a wastewater treatment plant
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Chemical scrubbing and biofiltration are well-established technologies for treating contaminated pollutants generated at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nevertheless, the growing need to reduce the ecological footprint ...
A photovoltaic forced ventilated façade (PV-FVF) as heat source for a heat pump: Assessing its energetical profit in nZEB buildings
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
The European Union is changing its energy model towards a more efficient and sustainable one. In this new outlook, the Heat Pump (HP) has become a leading technology in the building energy sector. The use of the air source ...
3D printed alginate-cellulose nanofibers based patches for local curcumin administration
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Alginate and nanocellulose are potential biomaterials to be employed as bioinks for three-dimensional (3D) printing. Alginate-cellulose nanofibers (A-CNF) formulations with CNF amounts up to 5 wt% were developed and ...
Role of zeolite properties in bio-oil deoxygenation and hydrocarbons production by catalytic cracking
(Elsevier, 2022-03)
A comparison between the behavior of Y and ZSM-5 zeolites having the same Si/Al ratio was established in the catalytic cracking of bio-oil for producing fuels and platform chemicals. The catalysts were prepared by agglomerating ...
Fast and efficient address search in System-on-a-Programmable-Chip using binary trees
(Elsevier, 2021-12)
One processing task in Ethernet nodes is to manage Media Access Control (MAC) addresses: search, insert new, and delete old ones. For this purpose, Content-Addressable Memorys (CAMs) offer low latency and no collisions; ...
Analysis of displacement path dependence in mixed mode cohesive law
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
In the present work, a general theoretical analysis is presented and novel mathematical expressions are derived to obtain the cohesive law of adhesive joints under mixed-mode loading.
It is theoretically stated that the ...
Survival in the Intensive Care Unit: A prognosis model based on Bayesian classifiers
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
We develop a predictive prognosis model to support medical experts in their clinical decision-making process in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) (a) to enhance early mortality prediction, (b) to make more efficient medical ...
In line upgrading of biomass fast pyrolysis products using low-cost catalysts
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Biomass pyrolysis and the in-line catalytic cracking of the pyrolysis volatile stream has been approached in this study. The pyrolysis step was carried out in a conical spouted bed reactor at 500 °C, whereas the inert sand ...
