Dimensionless numerical analysis of cracked materials by means of infrared lock-in thermography
(2022-08-02)
In this master’s thesis a dimensionless numerical model of the lock-in infrared thermography ex-
periment for the detection of open-surface cracks is developed. Starting with the constitutive equation
and the boundary ...
Analysis of thermofluids in flameless (MILD) combustion: assessment, improvement and development of combustion models by CFD
(2020-11-11)
Flameless combustion, also called MILD combustion (Moderate or Intense Low Oxygen Dilution), is a technology that reduces NOx emissions and improves combustion efficiency. It is based on the aerodynamic recirculation of ...
Fused 1,5-Naphthyridines: Synthetic Tools and Applications
(MDPI, 2020-07-31)
Heterocyclic nitrogen compounds, including fused 1,5-naphthyridines, have versatile applications in the fields of synthetic organic chemistry and play an important role in the field of medicinal chemistry, as many of them ...
A Preliminary Global Automatic Burned-Area Algorithm at Medium Resolution in Google Earth Engine
(MDPI, 2021-10-26)
A preliminary version of a global automatic burned-area (BA) algorithm at medium spatial resolution was developed in Google Earth Engine (GEE), based on Landsat or Sentinel-2 reflectance images. The algorithm involves two ...
Uncertainty and detection limits of Pu-241 determination by liquid scintillation counting (LSC)
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
[EN]Determination of Pu-241 is an essential issue for radiation protection, as it is the precursor of some nuclides with high radiotoxicity. Pu-241 is a low energy beta emitter, which makes its measurement more challenging ...
Modelling chemical weathering in contrasted watersheds: new implementations and application at the global scale
(2020-10-16)
[EN]The biogeochemical cycles describe the matter and energy flux between ecosystems in the Earth System. However, climate change, human population growth and other global change hazards alter the natural balance of these ...
Metabolic adaptations in spontaneously immortalized PGC-1α knock-out mouse embryonic fibroblasts increase their oncogenic potential
(Elsevier, 2020-01)
PGC-1 alpha controls, to a large extent, the capacity of cells to respond to changing nutritional requirements and energetic demands. The key role of metabolic reprogramming in tumor development has highlighted the potential ...
Amyloid β / PKC-dependent alterations in NMDA receptor composition are detected in early stages of Alzheimer´s disease
(SpringerNature, 2022-03-19)
[EN] Amyloid beta (Abeta)-mediated synapse dysfunction is an early event in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis and previous studies suggest that NMDA receptor (NMDAR) dysregulation may contribute to these pathological ...
Personal Guides: Heterogeneous Robots Sharing Personal Tours in Multi-Floor Environments
(MDPI, 2020-04-27)
GidaBot is an application designed to setup and run a heterogeneous team of robots to act as tour guides in multi-floor buildings. Although the tours can go through several floors, the robots can only service a single ...
Effects of COVID-19 Lockdown on Physical Activity and Health-Related Quality of Life in Older Adults Who Regularly Exercise
(MDPI, 2021)
The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of social distancing on physical activity (PA) and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in active Spanish older adults according to their physical functionality. The study ...
