Ocean quadcopters: persistent and autonomous aerial surveillance of large maritime areas by quadcopters self-powered by ocean waves
(Springer, 2024-03-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work consideration is given to the possibility for persistent aerial surveillance of oceans by means of quadcopters capable of taking off and landing on the sea and charging their batteries by the waves from the ... -
Design of shifting state-feedback controllers for constrained feedback linearized systems: application to quadrotor attitude control
(2024-03-10)
Article
Open AccessThis paper proposes a shifting feedback linearization controller for nonlinear systems under input saturation. The suggested approach for determining a linear parameter-varying (LPV) state-feedback controller is based on ... -
Reinforcement learning versus model predictive control on greenhouse climate control
(Elsevier, 2023-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThe greenhouse system plays a crucial role to ensure an adequate supply of fresh food for the growing global population. However, maintaining an optimal growing climate within a greenhouse requires resources and operational ... -
Actuator fault estimation using optimization-based learning techniques for linear parameter varying systems with unreliable scheduling parameters
(Elsevier, 2024-01-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA novel fault diagnosis procedure is proposed in this paper to estimate faults using a linear parameter varying (LPV) model whose scheduling parameters depend on the fault. A wrong determination of the operating conditions ... -
A beta version of an application based on computer vision for the assessment of knee valgus angle: a validity and reliability study
(2023-04-28)
Article
Open AccessBackground: In handball, the kinematics of the frontal plane seem to be one of the most important factors for the development of lower limb injuries. The knee valgus angle is a fundamental axis for injury prevention and ... -
A short survey for a thermo-ducted kitchen hood wasted heat self-powered
(ASME International, 2022-08-17)
Article
Open AccessIn this note, a brief survey is given to the possibility for a thermo-ducted kitchen hood where exhaust fan or other mechanical devices are no longer needed, and then, in addition, no sound is generated. The aim of this ... -
The aerolayer: airborne filtration by aerodynamic focusing and growth
(Springer, 2023-03-29)
Article
Open AccessIn this work, a novel approach for airborne filtration with particular reference to medical (non-oil) medical mask is discussed. Here, and contrariwise to current approaches, filtration is attained neither by reducing the ... -
Thermal contraction of the boundary layer from progressive cooling and its possible use as active flow control technique
(2023-06-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work, consideration is given to thermal contraction of the boundary layer from the progressive cooling of the airfoil and its possible technological use as an active flow control technique. Here, it is thought that ... -
Self-thermal insulation of containers by the precipitation and formation of a gas film at the walls for thermal energy storage
(2023-02-23)
Article
Open AccessPassive thermal self-insulation of the inside walls of containers when they are deliberately coated by nucleation sites and the fluid is diluted with a certain gas. It is well known -in heat transfer engineering, the drastic ... -
Water distribution network model calibration and continuous maintenance: Terrassa, a real application
(Academic Star Publishing Company, 2021-12-11)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe WDN model calibration has been and it still is a research area of interest [1]. This process has been well studied and the different steps required were already established. The availability of more and more data ... -
Magnetorheological liposomes. An alternative approach for drug delivery driven by mutual magnetic dipole-dipole interaction
(Elsevier, 2022-11-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this study consideration is given to an alternative approach for drug release by the use magnetorheological liposomes with the aim to eliminate the need for an external oscilatori magnetic field (hyperthermia) for rupture ... -
Supersaturated solar ponds for enhanced thermal insulation by the spontaneous formation of a thin film gas at the bottom
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022-10-03)
Article
Open AccessIn this work the novel approach of supersaturated solar ponds to enhance thermal insulation of the pond by the spontaneous formation of a thin film gas blanketing its bottom which is covered by active nucleation sites is ...
