The southwesternmost record of Sicista (Mammalia; Dipodidae) in Eurasia, with a review of the palaeogeography and palaeoecology of the genus in Europe
(Elsevier, 2012-07-27)
We describe the southwesternmost specimen of Sicista betulina (Mammalia; Dipodidae) and of the genus Sicista found to date in Eurasia, which comes from the early Late Pleistocene (MIS 5) site of Lezetxiki II (Arrasate, ...
Infrared emissivity of copper-alloyed spinel black coatings for concentrated solar power systems
(Elsevier, 2019-05-24)
The directional spectral emissivities of four new copper-alloyed spinel coatings for concentrated solar power applications were measured up to 800 °C and compared Pyromark 2500®, deposited in the same conditions on Inconel ...
Political Determinants of Privatisation Reforms: A Comparative Analysis in Europe
(Sage, 2019-08-18)
This paper analyses the effect of political factors on privatisation reforms and considers the practical implications of such policy from a comparative point of view in Europe. According to a sample of 25 countries in ...
Thermal radiative properties of electron-beam-melted and mechanically alloyed V-4Cr-4Ti based alloys between 200 and 750 ºC
(Elsevier, 2018-11-02)
The directional spectral emissivities of two V-4Cr-4Ti family alloys, candidate structural materials for fusion first wall/blanket applications, were measured between 200 °C and their working temperatures (700–750 °C), ...
Politicizing Responsible Innovation: Responsibility as Inclusive Governance
(Elsevieron behalf of KeAi, 2018-02-26)
[EN]This paper aims to provide the historical and conceptual bases underlying the inclusionary transition of European innovation policy, and critical analysis of the difficulties relating to the political nature of this ...
An insight into the reactions occurring during the chemical activation of bone char
(Elsevier, 2014-04-24)
The valorisation of animal wastes by pyrolysis has shown to be of interest, due to the versatility of the main compound of char, hydroxyapatite (HAP), which can be used in catalysis, electrochemistry, and adsorption. The ...
Systematic modeling of photovoltaic modules based on artificial neural networks
(Elsevier, 2016-06-03)
Using accurate models of photovoltaic modules is of major importance to make realistic simulations of these systems in order to study their elements for a better performance. In this paper we address the problem of the ...
Isotopic evidence for the reconstruction of diet and mobility during village formation in the Early Middle Ages: Las Gobas (Burgos, northern Spain)
(Springer, 2017-07-10)
Strontium, carbon, and nitrogen isotopes of human bone and tooth remains have been used to reconstruct residential mobility and diet of early medieval populations at Las Gobas from the sixth to eleventh centuries. Most ...
Dead horse, man-at-arms lost: cavalry and battle tactics in 15th century Castile
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-06-21)
For a long time historiography has stood up for Late Medieval
Castilian tactical backwardness with the insufficient research into
Castilian military tactics contributing to the persistence of old
paradigms. The aim of ...
Pitch Based Wind Turbine Intelligent Speed Setpoint Adjustment Algorithms
(MDPI, 2014-06)
This work is aimed at optimizing the wind turbine rotor speed setpoint algorithm. Several intelligent adjustment strategies have been investigated in order to improve a reward function that takes into account the power ...
