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 ... -
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 ... -

(Elsevier, 2019-05-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyContents lists available atScienceDirectSustainable Cities and Societyjournal homepage:www.elsevier.com/locate/scsLife Cycle Assessment of a solar thermal system in Spain, eco-designalternatives and derived climate change ... -
A review study on the modeling of high-temperature solar thermal collector systems
(2019-09-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyConcentrated solar power technologies are gaining more attention in the last two decades in order to replace the conventional power technologies and reduce their environmental impact. Among the developed concentrating ... -
A time-average filtering technique to improve the efficiency of two-layer wall models for large eddy simulation in complex geometries
(Elsevier, 2019-06-30)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyTwo-Layer wall models have been recurrently studied since they represent a good physical model for Large Eddy Simulations with underresolved wall regions. Specifically, those based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes ... -
A second-order time accurate semi-implicit method for fluid–structure interaction problems
(2019-04-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper is concerned with numerical solution of fluid-structure inter-action (FSI) problems involving an incompressible viscous flow and an elasticstructure. A semi-implicit partitioned method with second-order ... -
Numerical study of binary droplets collision in the main collision regimes
(2019-08-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDirect numerical simulation of binary droplets collision is done using a conservative level-set method. The Navier-Stokes and level-set equations are solved using a finite-volume method on collocated grids. A novel lamella ... -
Numerical study of rising bubbles with path instability using conservative level-set and adaptive mesh refinement
(Elsevier, 2019-06-15)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper focuses on three-dimensional direct numerical simulations of rising bubbles in the wobbling regime, and the study of its dynamical behavior for Eötvös number 1 ≤ Eo ≤ 10 and Morton number 1e−11 ≤ M ≤ 1e−9. ... -
Kinetics analysis and simulation of sequential epoxy dual-curing systems with independent thermal activation
(2019-03-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe curing kinetics of a sequential dual-curing system based on an off-stoichiometric amine-epoxy formulation with intermediate latent reactivity has been analyzed. The first curing stage is an epoxy-amine polycondensation ... -
Characterization of sequential dual-curing of thiol-acrylate-epoxy systems with controlled thermal properties
(Elsevier, 2019-03-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work, a novel sequential dual-curing system based on thiol-acrylate-epoxy formulations is developed and characterized. Both reaction stages are thermally activated and sequentially relies on difference in the ... -
Influence of pentanol and dimethyl ether blending with diesel on the combustion performance and emission characteristics in a compression ignition engine under low temperature combustion mode
(2019-01-26)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyDimethyl ether (DME) and n-pentanol can be derived from non-food based biomass feedstock without unsettling food supplies and thus attract increasing attention as promising alternative fuels, yet some of their unique fuel ...
