The environmental and social footprint of the university of the Basque Country UPV/EHU
(Elsevier, 2021-09-15)
This work has calculated the organisational environmental and social footprint of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in 2016. First, input and output data flows of the UPV/EHU activity were collected. Next, the ...
Convolutional Neural Network Predictions for Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes-Based Numerical Simulations
(MDPI, 2023-01-17)
The application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to turbulent flow has been a considerable topic of research for many years. Nonetheless, using CFD tools results in a large computational cost, which implies that, for ...
Robotic-Arm-Based Force Control in Neurosurgical Practice
(MDPI, 2023-02-06)
This research proposes an optimal robotic arm speed shape in neurological surgery to minimise a cost functional that uses an adaptive scheme to determine the brain tissue force. Until now, there have been no studies or ...
Differential Evolution Optimal Parameters Tuning with Artificial Neural Network
(MDPI, 2021-02-21)
Differential evolution (DE) is a simple and efficient population-based stochastic algorithm for solving global numerical optimization problems. DE largely depends on algorithm parameter values and search strategy. Knowledge ...
Piezoelectric Energy Harvesting Controlled with an IGBT H-Bridge and Bidirectional Buck–Boost for Low-Cost 4G Devices
(MDPI, 2020-12-09)
In this work, a semi-submersible piezoelectric energy harvester was used to provide power to a low-cost 4G Arduino shield. Initially, unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS)-based simulations were conducted to ...
Estimating the Reattachment Length by Realizing a Comparison between URANS k-Omega SST and LES WALE Models on a Symmetric Geometry
(MDPI, 2021-07-24)
In this study, a water reattachment length was calculated by adopting two different models. The first was based on Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (URANS) k-omega with Shear Stress Transport (SST); the second was ...
Computational characterization of the behavior of a saliva droplet in a social environment
(Nature Research, 2022-04)
[EN] The conduct of respiratory droplets is the basis of the study to reduce the spread of a virus in society. The pandemic suffered in early 2020 due to COVID-19 shows the lack of research on the evaporation and fate of ...
Natural Ventilation Characterization in a Classroom under Different Scenarios
(MDPI, 2021-05-19)
The COVID-19 pandemic has pointed to the need to increase our knowledge in fields related to human breathing. In the present study, temperature, relative humidity, carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration, and median particle ...
Forecast Error Sensitivity Analysis for Bidding in Electricity Markets with a Hybrid Renewable Plant Using a Battery Energy Storage System
(MDPI, 2020-04-28)
Deep integration of renewable energies into the electricity grid is restricted by the problems related to their intermittent and uncertain nature. These problems affect both system operators and renewable power plant owners ...
Numerical Modeling of the Spread of Cough Saliva Droplets in a Calm Confined Space
(MDPI, 2021-03-08)
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has altered the lives of everyone on a global scale due to its high transmission rate. In the current work, the droplet dispersion and evaporation originated by a cough at ...
