Emissions assessment of container ships sailing under off-design conditions
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-10-01)
Article
Accés obertMaritime transportation is the prevalent mode of transport for overseas freight, and it is frequently recognised as a relatively environmentally sustainable means of transport. However, shipping is still a substantial ... -
Contactless characterization of the elastic properties of glass microspheres
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2023-04-25)
Article
Accés obertGlass microspheres are of great interest for numerous industrial, biomedical, or standalone applications, but it remains challenging to evaluate their elastic and optical properties in a non-destructive way. In this work, ... -
Far-field radiative thermal rectification based on asymmetric emissivity
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2023-09-29)
Article
Accés obertThis experimental study investigates thermal rectification via asymmetric far-field thermal radiation on a fused silica slab. An asymmetrical distribution of surface emissivity is created over the device by partially ... -
Designer SiO2 metasurfaces for efficient passive radiative cooling
(John Wiley & sons, 2023-11-27)
Article
Accés obertIn recent years, an increasing number of passive radiative cooling materials are proposed in the literature, with several examples relying on the use of silica (SiO2) due to its unique stability, non-toxicity, and availability. ... -
Inclusion of the gender equality sustainable development goal in engineering teaching and research
(2023-08-01)
Article
Accés obertThis work explores how gender mainstreaming can be included in the teaching and research of engineering, a framed discipline belonging to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (known with the acronym STEM), an ... -
Estimating fishing effort from highly resolved geospatial data: Focusing on passive gears
(Elsevier, 2023-08-24)
Article
Accés obertIncreasing competition for marine space requires the appropriate development of indicators to best represent the use of marine areas and the value (whether economic, social and/or cultural) derived from such use. Fishers ... -
Simulation of flash floods in ungauged basins using post-event surveys and numerical modelling
(John Wiley & sons, 2015-12-01)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialThe hydrological and hydraulic processes of the flash flood that affected Atrani village (Amalfi Coast of Southern Italy) on 9 September 2010 are analysed using post-flood surveys and numerical modelling. Observations in ... -
Comparison of different hydrological and stability assumptions for physically-based modeling of shallow landslides
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
Article
Accés restringit per política de l'editorialPhysically-based models are reliable techniques for landslide susceptibility assessment, therefore, several models have been proposed in the literature. In this study, two different hydrological models (FSLAM and TRIGRS) ... -
The energy transfer from granular landslides to water bodies explained by a data-driven, physics-based numerical model
(2021-04)
Article
Accés obertTime trends and their statistical significance for daily minimum, Tmin, and maximum, Tmax, temperatures recorded at the Fabra Observatory (Barcelona) along 102 years (1917–2018) permit to analyse the evolution of every one ... -
Shallow landslide susceptibility assessment under future climate and land cover changes: a case study from southwest China
(2023-07)
Article
Accés obertThere is no doubt that land cover and climate changes have consequences on landslide activity, but it is still an open issue to assess and quantify their impacts. Wanzhou County in southwest China was selected as the test ... -
Validation and verification of a quasi two-dimensional turbulence model and an eddy detection method for liquid metal magnetohydrodynamics flows
(2023-03-02)
Article
Accés obertThe flow of liquid metals in straight rectangular channels with an externally applied transverse magnetic field is considered for breeding blankets in tokamak fusion reactors. Under the tokamak magnetic field, the liquid ... -
Quantitative analysis of the effects of incorporating laser powder bed fusion manufactured conformal cooling inserts in steel moulds over four types of defects of a commercially produced injected part
(Elsevier, 2023-03)
Article
Accés obertThe introduction of additively manufactured conformal cooling inserts in steel moulds for plastic injection is becoming a recommended standard. Fine adjustment of the temperatures in the mould has demonstrated potential ...
