Boosting pharmaceutical removal through aeration in constructed wetlands
(2021-06)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis work evaluated the removal efficiency of 13 wastewater-borne pharmaceuticals in a pilot constructed wetland (CW) operated under different aeration strategies (no aeration, intermittent and continuous). Aeration improved ... -
New insights on the combined removal of antibiotics and ARGs in urban wastewater through the use of two configurations of vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Article
Open AccessThe occurrence and removal of 49 antibiotics and 11 selected antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were investigated in 2 vertical subsurface flow (VF) constructed wetlands (1.5 m2 each): an unsaturated (UVF) unit and a ... -
Inorganic carbon stimulates the metabolic routes related to the polyhdroxybutyrate production in a Synechocystis sp. strain (cyanobacteria) isolated from wastewater
(Elsevier, 2022-07)
Article
Open AccessCyanobacteria are capable of transforming CO2 into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). In this study, different inorganic carbon concentrations (0–2 gC L-1) were evaluated for a Synechocystis sp. strain isolated from wastewater. ... -
Experimental characterization and two-dimensional hydraulic-hydrologic modelling of the infiltration process through permeable pavements
(2022-03)
Article
Open AccessPermeable pavements are a common solution for wearing course layers in roads and urban areas. They are composed by highly porous materials with permeability several orders of magnitude above of the natural terrain. This ... -
Charging operations in battery electric bus systems considering fleet size variability along the service
(2022-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper analyzes the new operations induced by the energy range limitation in battery electric bus (BEB) systems to ensure the service provision along the whole day. An operating model has been developed to estimate the ... -
FSLAM: A QGIS plugin for fast regional susceptibility assessment of rainfall-induced landslides
(Elsevier, 2022-04)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyShallow slope failures triggered by rainfall commonly pose considerable risks in mountainous areas. In order to delineate areas where landslides are more prone to occur within a region, we have designed and developed a ... -
City logistics: challenges and opportunities for technology providers
(Elsevier, 2022-12)
Article
Open AccessCurrent last-mile logistics operations are inefficient. The economic competitiveness of logistics service providers is affected by distinct factors, such as the limited time windows they are given to deliver freight in ... -
Simplified expressions for reliability assessments in code calibration
(2022-04)
Article
Open AccessFirst Order Reliability Methods (FORM) have been used by specification committees in the reliability analyses required for the calibration of resistance and safety factors for the past 40 years. However, these methods are ... -
Modeling soil-facing interface interaction with continuum element methodology
(2022-03)
Article
Open AccessSoil-facing mechanical interactions play an important role in the behaviour of earth retaining walls. Generally, numerical analysis of earth retaining structures requires the use of interface elements between dissimilar ... -
Main engineering problems and countermeasures in ultra-long-distance rock pipe jacking project: water pipeline case study in Chongqing
(2022-05)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper summarises the main technical problems that have been encountered in the Chongqing Guanjingkou Water Conservancy Project, which is the first ultra-long-distance rock pipe jacking (PJ) project in China’s water ... -
Numerical study of the influence of the interaction distance, the polymeric strips pre-tensioning, and the soil–polymeric interaction on the performance of back-to-back reinforced soil walls
(2022-02)
Article
Open AccessThis study describes the results of a series of 2D finite element method (FEM) numerical models of 6 m high back-to-back reinforced soil walls using the geotechnical software PLAXIS. These structures are used to support ...
