The recent publication of codes for the design of FRC is a major step towards extending the use of the material. An in depth analysis indicates several differences between the constitutive models proposed in the existing ...

The objective of this chapter is to show the usefulness of conventional UAVs for the identification, inventory and classification of trees in the context of dense green spaces. The aim is to demonstrate the potential of ...

This project attempts to predict the performance of students in their third semester (the first semester of their second year) of the bachelor’s degree in Industrial Technology Engineering based on their marks on their ...

The field of computer vision has for years been dominated by Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) in the medical field. However, there are various other Deep Learning (DL) techniques that have become very popular in this ...

The aim of the present thesis has been to test the applicability of the innovative Advanced DInSAR techniques in the natural risk mitigation related to subsidence phenomena. In particular, two test sites have been chosen, ...

A total of 33 commercial drapery and lining fabrics were used to determine the drape indicators drape ratio and R-factor. The slope of a plot of one indicator against the other was found not to afford complete characterization ...

The versatility and ease of installation of Distributed Optical Fibre Sensors (DOFS) compared with traditional monitoring systems are important characteristics to consider when facing the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) ...

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of Dynamic Vibration Absorbers (DVAs) as a vibration abatement solution for railway-induced vibrations in the framework of a double-deck circular railway tunnel ...

Most galaxies have a warped shape when they are seen from an edge-on point of view. In this work we apply dynamical system methods to find an explanation of this phenomenon that agrees with its abundance among galaxies, ...
