Selenate and selenite uptake, accumulation and toxicity in Lemna minuta
(2020-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe kinetics of Se uptake and toxicity to Lemna were studied over a period of 14 days of exposure to Se(IV) or Se(VI). The growth of Lemna stopped immediately after exposure to 5.0 mg/L of Se(IV) or Se(VI). The content of ... -
Human comfort modelling for elderly people by infrared thermography: Evaluating the thermoregulation system responses in an indoor environment during winter
(2020-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyElderly people are vulnerable to cold environments, due to aging’s impact on the density of nerve fibers. Nevertheless, automatic controls of HVAC systems do not consider the user’s real-time thermal sensation and most of ... -
Summer thermal comfort in nursing homes in the Mediterranean climate
(2020-12-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe number of people living in nursing homes is increasing due to the growth of ageing population. However, existing standards on thermal comfort do not consider how occupants of nursing homes perceive their thermal ... -
Analysis of empirical methods for the quantification of N2O emissions in wastewater treatment plants: comparison of emission results obtained from the IPCC Tier 1 methodology and the methodologies that integrate operational data
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWastewater is a source of N2O emission that is generated, both directly from advanced treatment plants and indirectly from the discharge of wastewater into the natural environment, due to its remaining nitrogen content. ... -

Orchard spray study: a prediction model of droplet deposition states on leaf surfaces
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-05-01)
Article
Open AccessDuring air-assisted spraying operations in orchards, the interaction between the droplets and the target leaves has a decisive influence on the retention of the droplets on the leaves and the final deposition state. Based ... -
Evaluating the freeze–thaw phenomenon in sandwich-structured composites via numerical simulations and infrared thermography
(Springer, 2020-07-13)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe water ingress phenomenon in sandwich-structured composites used in the aerospace/aeronautical sector is a current issue. This type of defect can cause in the course of time several other defects at the boundary, such ... -
Thermographic 2D U-value map for quantifying thermal bridges in building façades
(2020-10-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThermal bridges accounted for 30% of the impact on the energy performance of European residential building stock. Nevertheless, European countries and their standards do not take into account the influences of this type ... -
Multi-year prediction of European summer drought conditions for the agricultural sector
(2019-11-27)
Article
Open AccessDecadal climate prediction, where climate models are initialized with the contemporaneous state of the Earth system and run for a decade into the future, represents a new source of near-term climate information to better ... -

(MDPI AG, 2020-06)
Article
Open AccessAccess to safe water is essential for people’s lives and health. However, little information is available about the quality of water consumed in rural communities in the Andes of Peru. The difficulties of accessing ... -
Economic analysis of the disassembling activities to the reuse of electric vehicles Li-ion batteries
(2020-02-19)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyElectric vehicles (EVs) are massively entering the mobility services. However, the high costs of their batteries, and thus of the vehicles, represent a real barrier that refrain consumers from buying EVs. In order to ... -
