Exploring chemical reactions to enhance thermal and dispersion stability of kraft and organosolv lignin
(Elsevier, 2024-04)
Lignin has been overlooked and used as a waste for long due to its complex and partially hydrophobic structure. Many efforts have been carried out to overcome these deficiencies and apply it as a high-value product, which ...
Future offshore wind energy evolution in the Bay of Biscay
(Elsevier, 2024-05)
A relevant point near the Biscay Marine Energy Platform (BiMEP) has been chosen and data from the ERA5 reanalysis and CMIP6 datasets in future SSP5-85 scenario (wind and wave data) have been used to analyse the energy ...
Angle-resolved direct emissivity measurements on unencapsulated solar cells for passive thermal control
(IEEE, 2024-03-18)
The emissivity of two unencapsulated photovoltaic cells has been measured by a direct radiometric method, between 30 and 50 °C, and indirectly at room temperature. The advantages of the angle-resolved direct method for the ...
Survival in the Intensive Care Unit: A prognosis model based on Bayesian classifiers
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
We develop a predictive prognosis model to support medical experts in their clinical decision-making process in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) (a) to enhance early mortality prediction, (b) to make more efficient medical ...
Three Shapley rankings of poverty measures according to their sensitivity to the three components of poverty
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
Most poverty measures in the literature depend on the three components of poverty, incidence, intensity and inequality among the poor. However, the implication of each component on the final poverty measure is something ...
On quadrature rules for solving Partial Differential Equations using Neural Networks
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
Neural Networks have been widely used to solve Partial Differential Equations. These methods require to approximate definite integrals using quadrature rules. Here, we illustrate via 1D numerical examples the quadrature ...
A note on the orness classification of the rank-dependent welfare functions and rank-dependent poverty measures
(Elsevier, 2023-08)
This note focuses on ordering two families of rank-dependent poverty measures in terms of their distribution-sensitivity. It has been proved that a real value, between 1/2 and 1, called orness, which is assigned to every ...
Characterization of mechanical properties of adult chests during pre-hospital manual chest compressions through a simple viscoelastic model
(Elsevier, 2023-12)
Aim
The purpose of this study was to develop a simple viscoelastic model to characterize the mechanical properties of chests during manual chest compressions in pre-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Metho ...
Beach management policy analysis concerning safety flag systems in Northern Spain
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
The aim of this paper is to analyse the meaning of beach safety flags and their management along the Northern Spanish coast. There are more than 1000 small beaches, which are often in high demand by tourism during the ...
A MILP optimization method for energy renovation of residential urban areas: Towards Zero Energy Districts
(Elsevier, 2021-05)
The nearly Zero Energy Building concept should be adopted in the renovation of existing buildings and actions upscaled and applied to larger and larger urban areas. In this context, this paper presents an optimization ...
