    Article
    Open Access
    In this paper, the Camp Nou stadium is used as a testbed for City Physiology, a theoretical framework for urban digital twins. With this case study, the modularity and adaptability of the framework, originally intended for ...

  • Assessing population-sampling strategies for reducing the COVID-19 incidence 

    Guzmán Merino, Miguel; Durán, Christian; Marinescu, Maria Cristina; Delgado Sanz, Concepción; Gómez Barroso, Diana; Carretero Pérez, Jesús; Singh, David E. (Elsevier, 2021-12)
    Article
    Open Access
    As long as critical levels of vaccination have not been reached to ensure heard immunity, and new SARS-CoV-2 strains are developing, the only realistic way to reduce the infection speed in a population is to track the ...

  • A framework to understand attitudes towards immigration through Twitter 

    Freire Vidal, Yerka; Graells Garrido, Eduardo; Rowe, Francisco (MDPI, 2021)
    Article
    Open Access
    Understanding public opinion towards immigrants is key to prevent acts of violence, discrimination and abuse. Traditional data sources, such as surveys, provide rich insights into the formation of such attitudes; yet, they ...

  • Time-efficient three-dimensional transmural scar assessment provides relevant substrate characterization for ventricular tachycardia features and long-term recurrences in ischemic cardiomyopathy 

    Merino Caviedes, Susana; Gutierrez, Lilian K.; Alfonso Almazán, José Manuel; Sanz Estébanez, Santiago; Cordero Grande, Lucilio; López Yunta, Mariña; Vázquez, Mariano; Aguado Sierra, Jazmín (Nature Research, 2021)
    Article
    Open Access
    Delayed gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR) imaging requires novel and time-efficient approaches to characterize the myocardial substrate associated with ventricular arrhythmia in patients with ischemic ...

  • A hybrid parallel numerical model for wave-induced free-surface flow 

    Leftheriotis, Georgios A.; Chalmoukis, Iason A.; Oyarzun Altamirano, Guillermo; Dimas, Athanassios A. (MDPI, 2021-10-04)
    Article
    Open Access
    An advanced numerical model is presented for the simulation of wave-induced free-surface flow, utilizing an efficient hybrid parallel implementation. The model is based on the solution of the Navier–Stokes equations using ...

  • Estimating heterogeneous wildfire effects using synthetic controls and satellite remote sensing 

    Serra Burriel, Feliu; Delicado Useros, Pedro Francisco; Prata, Andrew T.; Cucchietti, Fernando (2021-11)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Wildfires have become one of the biggest natural hazards for environments worldwide. The effects of wildfires are heterogeneous, meaning that the magnitude of their effects depends on many factors such as geographical ...

  • Analysis of local extinction of a n-heptane spray flame using large-eddy simulation with tabulated chemistry 

    Benajes, Jesús V.; García Oliver, José M; Pastor, José Manuel; Olmeda, I; Both, Ambrus; Mira, Daniel (Elsevier, 2021)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    This work is focused on the study of flame stabilization and local extinction of a spray flame in an atmospheric non-swirled test rig referred to as the CORIA Rouen Spray Burner. This burner shows a double reaction front ...

  • Comparative analysis of a new assessment of the seismic risk of residential buildings of two districts of Barcelona 

    Aguilar Meléndez, Armando; Pujades Beneit, Lluís; Barbat Barbat, Horia Alejandro; Monterrubio Velasco, Marisol; Puente Álvarez, Josep de la; Lantada, Nieves (2021-09-03)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    There are personal and institutional decisions that can increase the seismic resilience of the buildings in a city. However, some of these decisions are possible if we have basic knowledge of buildings’ seismic risk. The ...

  • Ten simple rules for making a vocabulary FAIR 

    Cox, Simon J. D.; González Beltran, Alejandra N.; Magagna, Barbara; Marinescu, Maria Cristina (Public Library of Science (PLOS), 2021-06-16)
    Article
    Open Access
    We present ten simple rules that support converting a legacy vocabulary—a list of terms available in a print-based glossary or in a table not accessible using web standards—into a FAIR vocabulary. Various pathways may be ...

  • NagareDB: A resource-efficient document-oriented time-series database 

    García Calatrava, Carlos; Becerra Fontal, Yolanda; Cucchietti Tabanik, Fernando Martín; Diví Cuesta, Carla (2021-08-13)
    Article
    Open Access
    The recent great technological advance has led to a broad proliferation of Monitoring Infrastructures, which typically keep track of specific assets along time, ranging from factory machinery, device location, or even ...

  • Large-eddy simulations of the flow on an aerofoil with leading-edge imperfections 

    Kumar, Vishal; Piomelli, Ugo; Lehmkuhl Barba, Oriol (Taylor and Francis, 2021)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    We performed large-eddy simulations of the flow over an aerofoil to understand the effects of leading-edge roughness designed to mimic ice accretion. The roughness elements protrude outside the boundary layer, which, near ...

  • Multi-physics methodology for phase change due to rapidly depressurised two-phase flows 

    Chávez Modena, Miguel; Runio, Gonzalo; Valero, Eusebio; Mira, Daniel; Lehmkuhl Barba, Oriol (Elsevier, 2021)
    Article
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    Zonal modeling is a common technique for the numerical certification of fire-extinguishing systems, however it is not valid to simulate the complex physical phenomena that occurs near the agent injection. We present a ...
