  • Characterization of time domain EM field double-loaded curved loop probe 

    Pous Solà, Marc; Quílez Figuerola, Marcos; Fernández Chimeno, Mireya; Silva Martínez, Fernando (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In this paper, we present and analyze the performance of a double-loaded curved loop probe to measure simultaneously electric and magnetic fields (EMF). The aim is to construct a probe that can be fitted to non-planar ...
  • Sedimentation monitoring of the active biomass in bioreactors by electrical impedance spectroscopy 

    Cerrillo Moreno, Míriam; Serrano Finetti, Roberto Ernesto; Mata Calabuig, Nuria (2020)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Sequencing batch reactors are used in wastewater treatment to produce biogas (methane). Currently, when biogas production ceases the active sludge sedimentation process is not monitored but operated on a fixed time basis. ...

    The emergence of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) platforms has increased the throughput of genomic sequencing and in turn the amount of data that needs to be processed, requiring highly efficient computation for its ...
  • Performance characterization of spark workloads on shared NUMA Systems 

    Baig, Shuja-ur-Rehman; Amaral, Marcelo; Polo Cantero, José; Carrera Pérez, David (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    As the adoption of Big Data technologies becomes the norm in an increasing number of scenarios, there is also a growing need to optimize them for modern processors. Spark has gained momentum over the last few years among ...
  • Battery aging impedance spectroscopy and incremental capacity analysis 

    Ovejas Benedicto, Victòria Júlia; Cuadras Tomàs, Àngel (ZAHNER-elektrik GmbH & Co. KG, 2017)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    We analize electrochemical LiFePO4 cells with impedance spectroscopy and incremental capacity analysis in order to establish a correlation with capacity fade. We found that polarization and diffusion impeances increased ...
  • Battery Impedance Spectroscopy obtained from Electrochemical Model 

    Miró Jané, Pol; Cuadras Tomàs, Àngel (2017)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    We investigate impedance spectra obtained from an electrochemical model using pulsed signals. We characterize the dependence of NiMH battery parameters such as electrodes porosity and conductivity on impedance. We are able ...
