A frequency-based approach for the detection and classification of structural changes using t-SNE
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-11-21)
Article
Open AccessThis work presents a structural health monitoring (SHM) approach for the detection and classification of structural changes. The proposed strategy is based on t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE), a nonlinear ... -
Air pollution and atherosclerosis: a cross-sectional analysis of four European cohort studies in the ESCAPE study
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2015-06-01)
Article
Open AccessIn four European cohorts, we investigated the cross-sectional association between long-term exposure to air pollution and intima-media thickness of the common carotid artery (CIMT), a preclinical marker of atherosclerosi ... -
Association between long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution and subclinical atherosclerosis: the REGICOR study
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2013-02-01)
Article
Open AccessEpidemiological evidence of the effects of long-term exposure to air pollution on the chronic processes of atherogenesis is limited. We investigated the association of long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution ... -
Association of long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution with blood pressure and hypertension in an adult population-based cohort in Spain (the REGICOR study)
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2014-04-01)
Article
Open AccessBackground: Long-term exposure to traffic-related air pollution may increase blood pressure (BP) and induce hypertension. However, evidence supporting these associations is limited, and they may be confounded by exposure ... -
Associations between fine and coarse particles and mortality in Mediterranean cities: results from the MED-PARTICLES project
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2013-08-01)
Article
Open AccessFew studies have investigated the independent health effects of different size fractions of particulate matter (PM) in multiple locations, especially in Europe. We estimated the short-term effects of PM with aerodynamic ... -
Carotid intima-media thickness in the Spanish population: reference ranges and association with cardiovascular risk factors
(2012-12)
Article
Open AccessIntroducción y objetivos El grosor íntima-media carotídeo medido por ultrasonografía es un predictor de acontecimientos cardiovasculares barato y no invasivo. Se analizaron los valores de referencia del grosor íntima-media ... -

Damage diagnosis for offshore fixed wind turbines
(2019-07-01)
Article
Open AccessThis paper proposes a damage diagnosis strategy to detect and classify different type of damages in a laboratory offshore-fixed wind turbine model. The proposed method combines an accelerometer sensor network attached to ... -
Damage diagnosis for offshore fixed wind turbines
(2019)
Conference report
Open AccessThis paper proposes a damage diagnosis strategy to detect and classify different type of damages in a laboratory offshore-fixed wind turbine model. The proposed method combines an accelerometer sensor network attached to ... -
Damage identification in structural health monitoring: a brief review from its implementation to the Use of data-driven applications
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-01-29)
Article
Open AccessThe damage identification process provides relevant information about the current state of a structure under inspection, and it can be approached from two different points of view. The first approach uses data-driven ... -
Desarrollo de un sistema de monitorización de la integridad estructural para aplicaciones en ingeniería mediante técnicas de reducción de la dimensionalidad
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-12-21)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis describes a structural health monitoring (SHM) strategy to detect and classify changes in structures that can be equipped with sensors. SHM is an area of great interest, because its main objective is to verify ... -
Desert dust outbreaks in Southern Europe: Contribution to daily PM10 concentrations and short-term associations with mortality and hospital admissions
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2016-04-01)
Article
Open AccessBackground: Evidence on the association between short-term exposure to desert dust and health outcomes is controversial. Objectives: We aimed to estimate the short-term effects of particulate matter = 10 µm (PM10) on ... -
Detection and classification of structural changes using t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding
(2019)
Conference report
Open AccessThis work states a structural health monitoring strategy for detection and classification of structural changes. The proposed approach is based on the so-called t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE), a ... -
Disentangling the effects of traffic-related noise and air pollution on blood pressure: indoor noise levels and protections
(2013)
Conference report
Open AccessOutdoor road traffic noise levels are associated with hypertension (HT). Studies on blood pressure (BP) are inconsistent and the true indoor traffic noise exposure may differ due to protections against noise. We analysed ... -
High blood pressure and long-term exposure to indoor noise and air pollution from road traffic.
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2014-11-01)
Article
Open AccessTraffic noise has been associated with prevalence of hypertension, but reports are inconsistent for blood pressure (BP). To ascertain noise effects and to disentangle them from those suspected to be from traffic-related ... -
Measurement error in epidemiologic studies of air pollution based on land-use regression models
(2013-10-15)
Article
Open AccessLand-use regression (LUR) models are increasingly used to estimate air pollution exposure in epidemiologic studies. These models use air pollution measurements taken at a small set of locations and modeling based ... -
Modelos GEE para el análisis de la evolución de las lesiones acnéicas tratadas con Nadixa

Master thesis (pre-Bologna period)
Open AccessEl profesor Bakar Bouadjar del departamento de dermatología (CHU de Bab-el-Oued,Argelia) y Laboratorios Ferrer quieren estudiar la evolución de los pacientes tratados con Nadixa crema 1% para el acné a través de un estudio ... -
Public transport strikes and their relationships with air pollution, mortality, and hospital admissions
(2020-02-28)
