    Air quality in major cities is reaching worrisome levels across the planet owing to large-scale industrialization. As a result, air purification systems are becoming a fertile and emerging field for research. Here, ...

  • Labeling strategy for evaluating the performance of thin asphalt wearing courses 

    García Gil, Lívia; Miró Recasens, José Rodrigo (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-04)
    Article
    Open Access
    Traditional design procedures of asphalt mixtures are based on volumetric parameters and the compliance with the mechanical performance, while functional properties receive less attention. Additionally, even though the ...

  • Shear crack width assessment in concrete structures by 2D distributed optical fiber 

    Rodríguez, Gerardo; Casas Rius, Joan Ramon; Villalba Herrero, Sergi (Elsevier, 2019-09)
    Article

    This paper outlines the second part of an experimental study to show the capabilities of distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) in their application to the structural health monitoring (SHM) of the shear performance of ...

  • An alternative to IEEE 802.11ba: wake-up radio with legacy IEEE 802.11 transmitters 

    Cervià Caballé, Martí; Calveras Augé, Anna M.; López Aguilera, M. Elena; García Villegas, Eduard; Seyfettin Demirkol, Ilker; Paradells Aspas, Josep (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-04-09)
    Article
    Open Access
    Current standardization process for Wake-up Radio (WuR) within the IEEE 802.11 Working Group, known as the IEEE 802.11ba, has brought interest to the IEEE 802.11-related technologies for the implementation of WuR systems. ...

    The market penetration of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) is escalating due to their energy saving and environmental benefits. In order to address PEVs impact on the electric networks, the aggregators need to accurately ...

  • Maximum-principle preserving space–time isogeometric analysis 

    Bonilla de Toro, Jesús; Badia, Santiago (2019-09)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In this work we propose a nonlinear stabilization technique for convection–diffusion–reaction and pure transport problems discretized with space–time isogeometric analysis. The stabilization is based on a graph-theoretic ...

  • Evaluation of Mallorca Cathedral seismic behavior using different analysis techniques 

    Elyamani, Ahmed; Roca Fabregat, Pedro; Caselles Magallón, Josep Oriol; Clapes Boixader, Jaime (University of the Aegean, 2019-01)
    Article
