  • Intervention design and teaching practice for enhancing engineering skills in reading research articles 

    García Vilchez, Mercedes; Vlasov, Mikhail; Torrent, Miquel; Rodero de Lamo, Lourdes; Gámez Montero, Pedro Javier (European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI), 2024)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    The constant drive to improve engineering education's pedagogy stems from its crucial role in serving society. The practice of reading research articles is an academic strategy to keep up with the rapid advancement of the ...

  • Empowering master students to solve real-world engineering problems 

    Kraft, Volker; Marco Almagro, Lluís (European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI), 2022)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In engineering, the importance of multi-disciplinarity and the need to “think outside the box” are obvious. However, subjects in engineering education are often treated in an isolated fashion. The kind of problems solved ...

  • Mixed nonlinear modelling in food engineering: determination of the salting time of boneless dry-cured Cerretan hams 

    Espuña Soler, Francesc Xavier; Acosta Argueta, Lesly María; Sánchez Espigares, Josep Anton; Tort-Martorell Llabrés, Xavier (TU Dortmund University, 2023)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    A great challenge in producing a good cured ham is to reduce the variability of the salt content between pieces of ham and to obtain homogeneity in terms of flavour and quality in general. This reduction in variability ...

  • Business case of adopting corporate sustainability measures: a multi-study through a bibliometric research and literature review 

    Barroso del Toro, Alberto; Tort-Martorell Llabrés, Xavier; Canela, Miguel Angel (2021)
    Conference lecture
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Has invested in Corporate Sustainability a positive economic return? If so, where is it hitting? Are the benefits only attributable to the environment or also to the shareholders?. This research aims to write a state of ...

    En el presente trabajo se expone la metodología empleada en la asignatura Proyecto I del Grado en Ingeniería en Tecnologías Industriales (GITI) impartido en la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Industrial de Barcelona ...

  • Influence of fused deposition modeling (FDM) parameters on surface finish of plastic parts 

    Buj Corral, Irene; Marco Almagro, Lluís; Rodero de Lamo, Lourdes; Domínguez Fernandez, Alejandro (2018)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In the present paper, influence of FDM (fused deposition modeling) parameters on surface finish of printed parts is presented. Cylindrical specimens were printed in PLA (Polylactic Acid). Five variables ...

  • Dimensionality reduction for samples of bivariate density level sets: an application to electoral results 

    Delicado Useros, Pedro Francisco (Springer, 2017)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    A bivariate densities can be represented as a density level set containing a fixed amount of probability (0.75, for instance). Then a functional dataset where the observations are bivariate density functions can be analyzed ...

  • Optimal level sets for representing a bivariate density function 

    Delicado Useros, Pedro Francisco; Vieu, Philippe (2014)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    We deal with the problem of representing a bivariate density function by level sets. The choice of which levels are used in this representation are commonly arbitrary (most usual choices being those with probability ...

  • A discussion on the selection of prototypes for kansei engineering study 

    Marco Almagro, Lluís; Tort-Martorell Llabrés, Xavier; Schütte, Simon (2016)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    One of the steps in a kansei engineering study is the evaluation of prototypes by users. Usually, the participants in the study give ratings to each one of the prototypes either using a semantic differential method or a ...
