Influence of atmospheric parameters on human mortality data at different geographical levels
(Elsevier, 2021-03)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyHuman mortality data are often modeled using a demographic approach as a function of time. This approach does not present an adequate fit model for the number of deaths with great variability. For this reason, additional ... -
Child mortality levels and trends: a new compositional approach
(2020-07)
Article
Open AccessBackground: Trend analysis of child mortality is vital to evaluate countries’ progress towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal on health (SDG 3). However, strictly speaking, child mortality data are probabilities, ... -
Decision analysis for sustainable development: the case of renewable energy planning under uncertainty
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyMulti-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methods are increasingly used to aid decision-making for sustainable development. However, although uncertainty is present in all decision environments, dealing with incomplete and ... -
A techno-economic optimization model of a biomass-based CCHP/heat pump system under evolving climate conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-08-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyAn innovative modelling approach for the design of biomass-based, solar-assisted combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) and heat pump (HP) systems for various climate scenarios is proposed in this work. The modelling ... -
Spatio-temporal air pollution modelling using a compositional approach
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020-09)
Article
Open AccessAir pollutant data are compositional in character because they describe quantitatively the parts of a whole (atmospheric composition). However, it is common to use air pollutant concentrations in statistical models without ... -
Preprocessing alternatives for compositional data related to water, sanitation and hygiene
(Elsevier, 2020-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6.1 and 6.2 measure the progress of urban and rural populations in their access to different levels of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, based on multiple sources of ... -
Status of water quality for human consumption in high-Andean rural communities: discrepancies between techniques for identifying trace metals
(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 ... -
Estimating access to drinking water and sanitation: the need to account for uncertainty in trend analysis
(Elsevier, 2019-12)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyNationally representative household surveys are the main source of data for tracking drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) coverage. However, all survey point estimates have a certain degree of error that must be ... -
A compositional approach for modelling SDG7 indicators: case study applied to electricity access
(2019-06)
Article
Open AccessMonitoring energy indicators has acquired a renewed interest with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and specifically with goal 7 (SDG7), which seeks to guarantee universal access to energy. The predominant ... -
Simulating large emitters using CMAQ and a local scale finite element model: analysis of the surroundings of Barcelona
(2017)
Article
Open AccessIn this work, we present a novel approach to simulate large emitters in the microscale. The main idea is to combine a nested grid approach and a finite element model to simulate the subgrid scale. The nested grid system ... -
Promoting sustainable human development in engineering: assessment of online courses within continuing professional development strategies
(2018-01)
Article
Open AccessHigher Education Institutions play a critical role in societies transition towards sustainable development, educating future professionals and decision makers. In the last few decades, a number of technical universities ... -
Profiling research of the engineering academics who successfully promote education in Sustainable Human Development
(2018-01-20)
Article
Open AccessOver the last decades, engineering faculties and universities have become increasingly engaged in integrating sustainable development into their different functions. Notwithstanding, more effort is required to effectively ...
