Local Fishing Communities and Nature Based Tourism in Baja, México: An Inter-Sectoral Valuation of Environmental Inputs
(Springer Nature B.V., 2019-01-02)
Nature-based tourism is often advocated as a desirable conservation strategy for smallscale
fishing communities as it gives local people motivation to protect wildlife and ecosystems
that attract visitors, while benefiting ...
Conceptual Basis for William Wordsworth’s Rejection to Science. Computational Analysis of the Lexicon in The Prelude
(UNED, 2019-11-01)
Much of the literary criticism devoted to interpreting the work of W. Wordsworth tries, on the one hand, to overcome and moderate, or, on the other hand, to directly accept the manifest opposition against science and ...
Brillouin spectral scanning using the wavelength dependence of the frequency shift
(IEEE, 2011)
We present a novel Brillouin spectra characterization method based on the Brillouin frequency shift dependence with pump wavelength. It is applied to a Brillouin optical time domain analysis sensor, resulting in a cost ...
Fuel cell-based CHP system modelling using Artificial Neural Networks aimed at developing techno-economic efficiency maximization control systems
(Elsevier, 2017-02-08)
This paper focuses on the modelling of the performance of a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell
(PEMFC)-based cogeneration system to integrate it in hybrid and/or connected to grid systems and
enable the optimization ...
Model for optimal management of the cooling system of a fuel cell-based combined heat and power system for developing optimization control strategies
(Elsevier, 2017-12-18)
This paper is focused on the development of a model for achieving optimal control of the cooling system of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC)-based cogeneration system. This model is developed to help facilitate ...
The price of energy efficiency in the Spanish housing market
(Energy Policy, 2016)
The housing sector is a substantial consumer of energy, and therefore a focus for energy savings efforts. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), introduced in 2002 and revised in 2010, is a key instrument ...
What does Culture mean for the UNDP? The implicit cultural logic within the human development framework
(Routledge, 2015-03-25)
‘Culture’ is one of those concepts so widely used that it tends to fall into ambiguity and vagueness. Institutions dealing with power use them quite often in order to produce profuse, but somehow vacuous, discourses. That ...
Power relations? What power relations? The de-politicising conceptualisation of development of the UNDP
(Routledge, 2017-03-14)
The UN′s Sustainable Development Goals agenda points far into 2030, which shows that its post-war development endeavour is not functioning effectively. This article implements a discourse analysis of the UN Development ...
Modulation of Pore Shape and Adsorption Selectivity by Ligand Functionalization in a Series of “rob”-like Flexible Metal-Organic Frameworks
(RSC, 2018-08-08)
We report the synthesis of a new family of four new isoreticular metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) based on
Cu–Cu paddle-wheel building units. The four MOFs contain 1D microchannels modulated by chemical
functionalisation ...
A real time sliding mode control for a wave energy converter based on a wells turbine
(Elsevier, 2018-06-18)
Due to the nonlinear dynamics and uncertainties usually present in wave energy conversion systems, the efficiency of these devices can be enhanced employing a robust control algorithms. Wave energy converters are constructed ...
