Biomass Pyrolysis Solids as Reducing Agents: Comparison with Commercial Reducing Agents
(MDPI, 2016-01)
Biomass is one of the most suitable options to be used as renewable energy source due to its extensive availability and its contribution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass under ...
Optimization of the Heating System Use in Aged Public Buildings via Model Predictive Control
(MDPI, 2016-03)
This work presents the implementation of a Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme used to study the improvement of the thermal quality in aged residential buildings without any rehabilitation. The controller manages the ...
Complementary Power Control for Doubly Fed Induction Generator-Based Tidal Stream Turbine Generation Plants
(MDPI, 2017-07)
The latest forecasts on the upcoming effects of climate change are leading to a change in the worldwide power production model, with governments promoting clean and renewable energies, as is the case of tidal energy. ...
Performance of Gradient-Based Solutions versus Genetic Algorithms in the Correlation of Thermal Mathematical Models of Spacecrafts
(Hindawi, 2017)
The correlation of the thermalmathematical models (TMMs) of spacecrafts with the results of the thermal test is a demanding task in terms of time and effort. Theoretically, it can be automatized by means of optimization ...
Performance of an Ocean Energy Conversion System with DFIG Sensorless Control
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013-05)
The 2009/28/EC Directive requires Member States of the European Union to adopt a National Action Plan for Renewable Energy. In this context, the Basque Energy Board, EVE, is committed to research activities such as the ...
An efficient LDU algorithm for the minimal least squares solution of linear systems
(Elsevier, 2018-12-15)
The minimal least squares solutions is a topic of interest due to the broad range of applications of this problem. Although it can be obtained from other algorithms, such as the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) or the ...
Non-invasive diagnosis of viability in seeds and lichens by infrared thermography under controlled environmental conditions
(BMC, 2019-12)
Background: Non-invasive procedures for the diagnosis of viability of plant or fungal tissues would be valuable for scientific, industrial and biomonitoring purposes. Previous studies showed that infrared thermography (IRT) ...
Ecos clásicos en la Declamación XXVIII de Libanio
(Fabrizio Serra editore, 2014)
[ES] En la Declamación XXVIII Libanio presenta a un parásito que expone las desgracias que le han llevado a dirigirse al Consejo para pedir veneno con el que suicidarse. El autor construye su personaje partiendo de las ...
Influence of Upconversion Processes in the Optically-Induced Inhomogeneous Thermal Behavior of Erbium-Doped Lanthanum Oxysulfide Powders
(MDPI, 2016-05-11)
The efficient infrared-to-visible upconversion emission present in Er-doped lanthanum oxysulfide crystal powders is used as a fine thermal sensor to determine the influence of upconversion processes on the laser-induced ...
Expresiones proverbiales y comedia en la Declamación XXVI de Libanio
(Universitat de València, 2016)
[ES] La Declamación XXVI de Libanio muestra a un misántropo que no soporta los ruidos y se ha casado con una charlatana. El tema de la excesiva locuacidad tiene un amplio reflejo en los proverbios –presentes también en la ...
