Detecting Lithium (Li) Mineralizations from Space: Current Research and Future Perspectives
(MDPI, 2020-04-05)
Optical and thermal remote sensing data have been an important tool in geological exploration for certain deposit types. However, the present economic and technological advances demand the adaptation of the remote sensing ...
The Sum of Plasma Fatty Acids iso16:0, iso17:0, trans11-18:1, cis9, trans11-CLA, and cis6-18:1 as Biomarker of Dairy Intake Established in an Intervention Study and Validated in the EPIC Cohort of Gipuzkoa
(MDPI, 2021-02-22)
The questioned reliability of 15:0, 17:0, and trans9-16:1 acids as biomarkers of dairy fat intake also questions the relationship between the intake of these products and their health effects. Two studies were conducted ...
Differential Evolution Optimal Parameters Tuning with Artificial Neural Network
(MDPI, 2021-02-21)
Differential evolution (DE) is a simple and efficient population-based stochastic algorithm for solving global numerical optimization problems. DE largely depends on algorithm parameter values and search strategy. Knowledge ...
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Controlled with an IGBT H-Bridge and Bidirectional Buck–Boost for Low-Cost 4G Devices
(MDPI, 2020-12-09)
In this work, a semi-submersible piezoelectric energy harvester was used to provide power to a low-cost 4G Arduino shield. Initially, unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS)-based simulations were conducted to ...
Estimating the Reattachment Length by Realizing a Comparison between URANS k-Omega SST and LES WALE Models on a Symmetric Geometry
(MDPI, 2021-07-24)
In this study, a water reattachment length was calculated by adopting two different models. The first was based on Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) k-omega with Shear Stress Transport (SST); the second was ...
Interpretation of the Reflectance Spectra of Lithium (Li) Minerals and Pegmatites: A Case Study for Mineralogical and Lithological Identification in the Fregeneda-Almendra Area
(MDPI, 2021-09-15)
Reflectance spectroscopy has been used to identify several deposit types. However, applications concerning lithium (Li)-pegmatites are still scarce. Reflectance spectroscopic studies complemented by microscopic and geochemical ...
Natural Ventilation Characterization in a Classroom under Different Scenarios
(MDPI, 2021-05-19)
The COVID-19 pandemic has pointed to the need to increase our knowledge in fields related to human breathing. In the present study, temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, and median particle ...
Forecast Error Sensitivity Analysis for Bidding in Electricity Markets with a Hybrid Renewable Plant Using a Battery Energy Storage System
(MDPI, 2020-04-28)
Deep integration of renewable energies into the electricity grid is restricted by the problems related to their intermittent and uncertain nature. These problems affect both system operators and renewable power plant owners ...
Numerical Modeling of the Spread of Cough Saliva Droplets in a Calm Confined Space
(MDPI, 2021-03-08)
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has altered the lives of everyone on a global scale due to its high transmission rate. In the current work, the droplet dispersion and evaporation originated by a cough at ...
Tools for Remote Exploration: A Lithium (Li) Dedicated Spectral Library of the Fregeneda–Almendra Aplite–Pegmatite Field
(MDPI, 2021-03-16)
The existence of diagnostic features in the visible and infrared regions makes it possible to use reflectance spectra not only to identify mineral assemblages but also for calibration and classification of satellite images, ...
