A Framework to Project Future Rainfall Scenarios: An Application to Shallow Landslide-Triggering Summer Rainfall in Wanzhou County China
(2022-03-01)
Article
Open AccessFatal landslides are a widespread geohazard that have affected millions of people and have claimed the lives of thousands around the globe. A change in climate has significantly increased the frequency and magnitude of ... -
Impacts of future climate and land cover changes on landslide susceptibility: regional scale modelling in the Val d’Aran region (Pyrenees, Spain)
(2022-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIt is widely accepted that future environmental changes will affect rainfall-induced shallow slides in high-mountain areas. In this study, the Val d’Aran region located in the Central Pyrenees was selected to analyze and ... -
Titanium based bone implants production using laser powder bed fusion technology
(Elsevier, 2022-03)
Article
Open AccessAdditive manufacturing (AM) enables fully dense biomimetic implants in the designed geometries from preferred materials such as titanium and its alloys. Titanium aluminum vanadium (Ti6Al4V) is one of the pioneer metal ... -
Fast physically-based model for rainfall-induced landslide susceptibility assessment at regional scale
(2021-06-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyRainfall-induced landslides represent an important threat in mountainous areas. Therefore, a physically-based model called “Fast Shallow Landslide Assessment Model” (FSLAM) was developed to calculate large areas (>100 km2 ... -
Re-design of a component of a lower-limb robotic exoskeleton for integrating sensing capacity and enhancing multi-material direct additive manufacturing
(Institute of Physics (IOP), 2021-10-01)
Article
Open AccessThe quest for the materialisation of advanced products is expanding the need for intelligent components and devices. One of the fields of application for such products is the medical technology industry, in which many ... -
The energy transfer from granular landslides to water bodies explained by a data-driven, physics-based numerical model
(2020-10-29)
Article
Open AccessLandslides falling into water can trigger tsunamis, which are particularly destructive in the proximity of the landslide impact and in narrow water bodies. The energy transfer mechanism between landslide and water wave is ... -
Mathematical modelling of supercritical fluid extraction of liquid lanoline from raw wool. Solubility and mass transfer rate parameters
(2020-12-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyA new mathematical model is presented for the supercritical fluid extraction of lanoline from wool using near-critical ethanol-modified CO2, using our previous experimental data. The model is intended to account for the ... -
The economic impact of climate change on urban drainage master planning in Barcelona
(2021-01)
Article
Open AccessIn the context of global change, urban drainage infrastructures must be planned considering future challenges such as new climate change and urban growth scenarios. Large cities require master plans to properly rank and ... -
Contributions for improving the stability of marine power generation plants
(Elsevier, 2020-06-20)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe Electrical Engineering department of the University FNB/UPC -Barcelona Tech. conducted a large set of real tests on a hybrid propulsion platform with compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel at the facilities of Marina Barcelona ... -
SLM manufacturing redesign of cooling inserts for high production steel moulds and benchmarking with other industrial additive manufacturing strategies
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-10-29)
Article
Open AccessMoulding technologies are remarkably effective for parts requiring high production volumes. Yet cooling the moulds after each injection can cause a significant loss of time. A possibility for reducing the cooling times is ... -
Hybrid nonlinear autoregressive neural network—Weibull statistical model applied to the supercritical extraction of lanolin from raw wool
(Springer, 2020-09-09)
Article
Open AccessSupercritical extraction of lanolin from raw wool with modified CO2 (5% ethanol) at temperatures above the melting point of lanolin (T = 36–42 ºC) is difficult to model because of the multicomponent diffusion in the liquid ... -
Real drive cycles analysis by ordered power methodology applied to fuel consumption, CO2, NOx and PM emissions estimation
(Springer, 2021-01)
Article
Open AccessIn this work three fuel consumption and exhaust emission models, ADVISOR, VT-MICRO and the European Environmental Agency Emission factors, have been used to obtain fuel consumption (FC) and exhaust emissions. These models ...
