This paper aims to analyze the evolution of land-use patterns and the Eco-Environmental Quality Index (EQI) in major European metropolitan areas. To this end, nighttime remote sensing images will be used to delineate ten ...

Within the offer of core courses of the Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC), which appeared as a result of the current undergraduate study ...

The importance of environmental fluctuations in the evolution of living organisms by natural selection has been widely noted by biologists and linked to many important characteristics of life such as modularity, plasticity, ...

Background Hybrids are chimeric organisms with highly plastic heterozygous genomes that may confer unique traits enabling the adaptation to new environments. However, most evolutionary theory frameworks predict that the ...

During the last years, we have studied the Spain’s maritime accidents that occurred in fishing and the causes that produced them from 2000 (year of starting of the CIAIM reports) to June 2016. It was decided to study ...

Recently, the presence of basal-prismatic interfaces in hexagonal close packed metals became subject of intensive investigation. We model the {101¯2} twin in magnesium bounded by two types of boundaries, i.e. {101¯2} ...

For high dynamic excitation, e.g. by earthquakes, the vibrations of steel structures lead to inelastic material behavior. Hystereses, developing under cyclic loading, are responsible for the dissipation of energy. Additionally, ...

This work shows a state-of-the-art GNSS reflectometry endto-end performance simulator, selected for the ESA’s GNSS rEflectometry, Radio Occultation and Scatterometry onboard International Space Station (GEROS-ISS). For ...

This work presents the assessment of the development and evolution of an active methodology (Project-Based Learning –PBL-) implemented on the course “Unit Operations in Environmental Engineering”, within the bachelor’s ...
