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 ...
On the relationship between cutting forces and anisotropy features in the milling of LPBF Inconel 718 for near net shape parts
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
The versatility and potential applications of additive manufacturing have accelerated the development of additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing methods. LPBF processes are exceptionally efficient at producing complex-shaped, ...
Experimental analysis and numerical simulation of wave overtopping on a fixed vertical cylinder under regular waves
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
Wave overtopping phenomenon affects relatively narrow offshore marine structures different from shoreline linear structures, where there is not defined a precise prediction methodology as it is the case of the behaviour ...
