Environmental impact assessment of sound absorbing nonwovens based on chicken feathers waste
(2019-06-28)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyChicken feathers (CFs) are currently a biogenic solid waste generated on a large scale and around the world. Its valorization could provide a great opportunity to manufacture environmentally friendly materials and increase ... -
Simulation of Household Refrigerators with a Flexible Numerical Tool
(Purdue University, 2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work presents a flexible numerical platform to simulate a whole household refrigeration unit taking into account both the refrigeration cycle itself and the refrigerated compartments network. The methodology implemented ... -
Water societal metabolism in the Yucatan Peninsula. The impact of climate change on the recharge of groundwater by 2030
(2019-10-20)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe demographic and economic growth in Yucatan peninsula (YP) in recent years has caused changes in the hydrological response and flow of the water cycle. The growth effects and its impact on society are poorly understood. ... -
Achieving high thermal conductivity in epoxy composites: Effect of boron nitride particle size and matrix-filler interface
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2019-07-06)
Article
Open AccessFor the thermal management of high watt density circuit layers, it is common to use a filled epoxy system to provide an electrically insulating but thermally conducting bond to a metal substrate. An epoxy-thiol system ... -
An Exploratory Multivariate Statistical Analysis to Assess Urban Diversity
(2019-07-11)
Article
Open AccessUnderstanding diversity in complex urban systems is fundamental in facing current and future sustainability challenges. In this article, we apply an exploratory multivariate statistical analysis (i.e., Principal Component ... -
Numerical Model of Capillary Tubes: Enhanced Performance and Study of Non-Adiabatic Effects
(Purdue University, 2014)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn the present work a numerical model to simulate the thermal and fluid-dynamic phenomena inside non-adiabatic capillary tubes is presented. It consists of an improved version of the distributed model detailed in Ablanque ... -
Maximising the Degree of User Choice: A Simple Tool to Measure Current Levels of Quality of Life in Urban Environments
(2019-06-30)
Article
Open AccessIn this article, we present a simple methodology based on Max-Neef, Elizalde and Hopenhayn (1991) “human scale development” paradigm to measure current levels of Quality of Life (QoL) for urban environments. In this ... -
Structure of force variability during squats performed with an inertial flywheel device under stable versus unstable surfaces
(2019-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe use of unstable surfaces during resistance training has demonstrated a maintenance or reduction on force production. However, the use of unstable surface on force variability has not been assessed using non-linear ... -
