Harmonized evaluation of daily precipitation downscaled using SDSM and WRF+WRFDA models over the Iberian Peninsula
(Springer, 2019-08)
There have been numerous statistical and dynamical downscaling model comparisons. However, differences in model skill can be distorted by inconsistencies in experimental set-up, inputs and output format. This paper harmonizes ...
Strain Relaxation in Cu-Al-Ni Shape Memory Alloys Studied by in Situ Neutron Diffraction Experiments
(American Institute of Physics, 2019-02-28)
In situ neutron diffraction is used to study the strain relaxation on a single crystal and other powdered Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloys (SMAs) around martensitic transformation temperatures. This work is focused on the ...
Ultrahigh Superelastic Damping at the Nano-Scale: a Robust Phenomenon to Improve Smart MEMS Devices
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Micro and nano pillars of Copper-based shape memory alloys (SMAs) with feature sizes between about 2 mu m and 250 nm are known to exhibit ultra-high mechanical damping due to the nucleation and motion of stress-induced ...
Influence of season-depending ecological variables on biomarker baseline levels in mussels (Mytilus trossulus) from two Baltic Sea subregions
(Science Direct, 2019-06-26)
For reliable mussel monitoring programmes based on biomarkers, regionally relevant reference values and their natural variability need to be known. The Baltic Sea exhibits high inter-regional and seasonal variability in ...
Unlocking the Potential of Magnetotactic Bacteria as Magnetic Hyperthermia Agents
(Wiley, 2019-10)
Magnetotactic bacteria are aquatic microorganisms that internally biomineralize chains of magnetic nanoparticles (called magnetosomes) and use them as a compass. Here it is shown that magnetotactic bacteria of the strain ...
Combining random forests and physics-based models to forecast the electricity generated by ocean waves: A case study of the Mutriku wave farm
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2019-10-01)
This paper combines random forests with physics-based models to forecast the electricity output of the Mutriku wave farm on the Bay of Biscay. The period analysed was 2014-2016, and the forecast horizon was 24 h in 4-h ...
Global estimations of wind energy potential considering seasonal air density changes
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2019-11-15)
The literature typically considers constant annual average air density when computing the wind energy potential of a given location. In this work, the recent reanalysis ERA5 is used to obtain global seasonal estimates of ...
