Development of a Sentinel-2 burned area algorithm: Generation of a small fire database for sub-Saharan Africa
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)
A locally-adapted multitemporal two-phase burned area (BA) algorithm has been developed using as inputs Sentinel-2 MSI reflectance measurements in the short and near infrared wavebands plus the active fires detected by ...
A Preliminary Global Automatic Burned-Area Algorithm at Medium Resolution in Google Earth Engine
(MDPI, 2021-10-26)
A preliminary version of a global automatic burned-area (BA) algorithm at medium spatial resolution was developed in Google Earth Engine (GEE), based on Landsat or Sentinel-2 reflectance images. The algorithm involves two ...
Landsat and Sentinel-2 Based Burned Area Mapping Tools in Google Earth Engine
(MDPI, 2021-02-23)
Four burned area tools were implemented in Google Earth Engine (GEE), to obtain regular processes related to burned area (BA) mapping, using medium spatial resolution sensors (Landsat and Sentinel-2). The four tools are ...
African burned area and fire carbon emissions are strongly impacted by small fires undetected by coarse resolution satellite data
(National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021-03-02)
Fires are a major contributor to atmospheric budgets of greenhouse gases and aerosols, affect soils and vegetation properties, and are a key driver of land use change. Since the 1990s, global burned area (BA) estimates ...
Low-grade RC beams strengthened with TRM composite based on basalt, carbon and steel textiles: Experimental and analytical study
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
This study develops an easy-to-conduct numerical calculation method to assess the effect of Textile Reinforced Mortar when used as externally bonded flexural strengthening technique in low-grade reinforced concrete beams ...
The patents in the introduction of reinforced concrete in Spain: "Alhondiga de Bilbao" case study
(Instituto de Ciencias de la Construcción Eduardo Torroja, 2014-06)
Reinforced concrete structures are introduced in Spain mainly by French influence. This happens in the late nineteenth century, following the scheme operating through proprietary systems prevailing in Europe. Systems ...
Long-term assessment of the thermal stability of sodium nitrate-urea eutectic phase change material
(Elsevier, 2021-09-15)
The eutectic mixture formed by urea and sodium nitrate can be an interesting candidate for use as a phase change material for thermal energy storage in space heating and domestic hot water applications. It shows a melting ...
A Bibliometric Analysis of Research on Supported Ionic Liquid Membranes during the 1995-2015 Period: Study of the Main Applications and Trending Topics
(MDPI, 2017-12)
A bibliometric analysis based on Scopus database was performed to identify the global research trends related to Supported Ionic Liquid Membranes (SILMs) during the time period from 1995 to 2015. This work tries to improve ...
Crystallization Behavior and Mechanical Properties of Poly(ε-caprolactone) Reinforced with Barium Sulfate Submicron Particles
(MDPI, 2021-05-02)
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) was mixed with submicron particles of barium sulfate to obtain biodegradable radiopaque composites. X-ray images comparing with aluminum samples show that 15 wt.% barium sulfate (BaSO4) is ...
Microstructure and Phase Formation of Novel Al80Mg5Sn5Zn5X5 Light-Weight Complex Concentrated Aluminum Alloys
(MDPI, 2021-12-01)
In this work, three novel complex concentrated aluminum alloys were developed. To investigate the unexplored region of the multicomponent phase diagrams, thermo-physical parameters and the CALPHAD method were used to ...
