Testing of self-similarity and helical symmetry in vortex generator flow simulations
(Wiley, 2016-06)
Vortex generators (VGs) are used increasingly by the wind turbine industry as flow control devices to improve rotor blade
performance. According to experimental observations, the vortices generated by VGs have previously ...
The use of steelmaking slags and fly ash in structural mortars
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The main objective of this work is to produce structural slag mortars of good mechanical strength and workability, while reducing the consumption of Portland clinker, the production of which is a growing source of environmental ...
Two different incorporation routes of cellulose nanocrystals in waterborne polyurethane nanocomposites
(Elsevier, 2016-03)
The renewability, availability and low-cost of eco-friendly cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), have gaining attention for nanocomposites preparation due to their unique properties in the nanoscale and their water dispersibility, ...
Fishing diseased abalone to promote yield and conservation
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2016)
Past theoretical models suggest fishing disease-impacted stocks can reduce parasite transmission, but this is a good management strategy only when the exploitation required to reduce transmission does not overfish the ...
Pharmacokinetic Modeling of Paracetamol Uptake and Clearance in Zebrafish Larvae: Expanding the Allometric Scale in Vertebrates with Five Orders of Magnitude
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2016-12-01)
Zebrafish larvae (Danio rerio) are increasingly used to translate findings regarding drug efficacy and safety from in vitro-based assays to vertebrate species, including humans. However, the limited understanding of drug ...
Mediacentric spaces and physical spaces in minority language use: A case study on the Basque language press
(Intellect Discover, 2016)
In an era when the relationship between communications and physical spaces has been deeply modified, one must wonder about how these changes affect the dynamics of minority languages whose speakers are scattered throughout ...
Salt Damage and Rising Damp Treatment in Building Structures
(Hindawi, 2016-12-15)
Salt damage can affect the service life of numerous building structures, both historical and contemporary, in a significant way. In this review, various damage mechanisms to porous building materials induced by salt action ...
Shape-memory properties of crosslinked biobased polyurethanes
(2016-03-25)
Biobased crosslinked polyurethanes were synthesized and characterized as shape-memory polymers. Both the macrodiol and the diisocyanate were derived from renewable sources; the first one from castor oil, and the second one ...
Self-compacting concrete incorporating electric arc-furnace steelmaking slag as aggregate
(Elsevier, 2016-11-17)
Electric arc-furnace slag (EAFS) is an industrial by-product that can be employed in hydraulic mixes used in the field of construction and civil engineering. The design and preparation of self-compacting mixes with this ...
Condiciones de referencia para la restauración de la geomorfología fluvial de los ríos de las cuencas de Oiartzun y Oria (Gipuzkoa)
(AEQUA / SEG, 2016-06-30)
[ES]Se desarrolla un trabajo aplicado en el que la geomorfología constituye la herramienta para la toma de decisiones y la gestión de espacios fluviales. La restauración que demanda la Directiva Marco de Agua (2000/60/CE) ...
