Towards Flexible Integration of 5G and IIoT Technologies in Industry 4.0: A Practical Use Case
(MDPI, 2020-10-29)
The Industry 4.0 revolution envisions fully interconnected scenarios in the manufacturing industry to improve the efficiency, quality, and performance of the manufacturing processes. In parallel, the consolidation of 5G ...
Estimation of the Heat Loss Coefficient of Two Occupied Residential Buildings through an Average Method
(MDPI, 2020-11-02)
The existing performance gap between the design and the real energy consumption of a building could have three main origins: the occupants’ behaviour, the performance of the energy systems and the performance of the building ...
Analysis of Alpha Activity Levels and Dependence on Meteorological Factors over a Complex Terrain in Northern Iberian Peninsula (2014–2018)
(MDPI, 2020-10-29)
Alpha ambient concentrations in ground-level air were measured weekly in Bilbao (northern Spain) by collecting aerosols in filters between 2014 and 2018. Over this period, the alpha activity concentrations in the aerosol’s ...
The Daredevil Reporter (Der Teufelsreporter) (1929): Billy/Billie Wilder
(Bright Lights Film Journal, 2020-08-12)
Before Wilder considered his own career as a filmmaker as having begun, and then reached movie fame on the other side of the Atlantic, he left behind a stumbling career as a reporter and a small action movie. Although The ...
Slepian models for Gaussian random landscapes
(Springer, 2020-05-27)
Phenomenologically interesting scalar potentials are highly atypical in generic random landscapes. We develop the mathematical techniques to generate constrained random potentials, i.e.Slepian models, which can globally ...
Single-shot temporal characterization of XUV pulses with duration from ~10 fs to ~350 fs at FLASH
(IOP, 2020-09-28)
Ultra-short extreme ultraviolet pulses from the free-electron laser FLASH are characterized using terahertz-field driven streaking. Measurements at different ultra-short extreme ultraviolet wavelengths and pulse durations ...
The composite Sierra Bermeja Pluton(southern Iberian Massif): science, heritage andgeoconservation
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-07-03)
The Sierra Bermeja Pluton (similar to 60 km(2) surface area) exemplifies a type of controversial granites of the Iberian Massif (European Variscan Belt), the cordierite-bearing 'Serie Mixta' (mixed series) monzogranites. ...
Creating a Green Chemistry Lab: Towards Sustainable Resource Management and Responsible Purchasing
(MDPI, 2020-10-27)
The main goal of this project was to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the chemistry teaching laboratories of the Faculty of Engineering Vitoria-Gasteiz (University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU)). With this ...
Experimental Validation of a Sliding Mode Control for a Stewart Platform Used in Aerospace Inspection Applications
(MDPI, 2020-11-17)
The authors introduce a new controller, aimed at industrial domains, that improves the performance and accuracy of positioning systems based on Stewart platforms. More specifically, this paper presents, and validates ...
Decontamination of Ti Oxide Surfaces by Using Ultraviolet Light: Hg-Vapor vs. LED-Based Irradiation
(MDPI, 2020-10-22)
C-range Ultraviolet (UVC) mercury (Hg)-vapor lamps have shown the successful decontamination of hydrocarbons and antimicrobial effects from titanium surfaces. This study focused on surface chemistry modifications of titanium ...
