ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY TECHNIQUES FOR DEGRADATION DIAGNOSTICS. AN APPLICATION FOR THE CULTURAL HERITAGE
2021
Abstract. The great technological development in recent years in the field of architectural survey has made possible increasingly expeditious and less invasive investigations with the aim of acquiring a series of data related to the asset and fundamental for the protection of cultural heritage. In addition, the synergy between the various techniques represents an added value able, not only, to fill possible gaps and lacks arising from application limits of the instruments, but also to enhance the peculiarities of the same. This paper presents an integrated survey activity (range-based, image-based and IR thermography techniques) aimed at applying the combination and collaboration of multipl…
Medioambiente y sostenibilidad en ciudades inteligentes y áreas despobladas de Europa
2022
Las ciudades inteligentes disponen de entornos urbanos que tratan de utilizar las modernas TIC (tecnologías de la información y la comunicación). El objeto de este artículo es valorar cómo se desarrolla la sostenibilidad en ciudades inteligentes y áreas despobladas de Europa. Concluimos que la transformación a ciudad inteligente sostenible requiere de la elaboración de un plan de ciudad consensuado con las distintas formaciones políticas y los grupos de interés.
A Simple Fusion Method for Image Time Series Based on the Estimation of Image Temporal Validity
2015
High-spatial-resolution satellites usually have the constraint of a low temporal frequency, which leads to long periods without information in cloudy areas. Furthermore, low-spatial-resolution satellites have higher revisit cycles. Combining information from high- and low- spatial-resolution satellites is thought a key factor for studies that require dense time series of high-resolution images, e.g., crop monitoring. There are several fusion methods in the bibliography, but they are time-consuming and complicated to implement. Moreover, the local evaluation of the fused images is rarely analyzed. In this paper, we present a simple and fast fusion method based on a weighted average of two in…
A New Algorithm for the Retrieval of Sun Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence of Water Bodies Exploiting the Detailed Spectral Shape of Water-Leaving Rad…
2021
Sun induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SICF) emitted by phytoplankton provides considerable insights into the vital role of the carbon productivity of the earth’s aquatic ecosystems. However, the SICF signal leaving a water body is highly affected by the high spectral variability of its optically active constituents. To disentangle the SICF emission from the water-leaving radiance, a new high spectral resolution retrieval algorithm is presented, which significantly improves the fluorescence line height (FLH) method commonly used so far. The proposed algorithm retrieves the reflectance without SICF contribution by the extrapolation of the reflectance from the adjacent regions. Then, the SICF …
Effect of Cu-Zn coated steel fibers on high temperature resistance of reactive powder concrete
2019
Abstract Even though many studies have reported about the impacts of shape, length and distribution of steel fiber reinforcement on global concrete properties, there is a lack of information about the influence of coating type of steel fibers on high temperature resistance of concrete. This paper describes the effect of Cu-Zn coated steel fibers on selected properties of reactive powder concrete (RPC) after exposure to elevated temperatures. The initial corrosion of zinc in Cu-Zn surface layer is found to be already activated by the alkaline environment of the fresh concrete. The RPC samples reinforced with Cu-Zn coated steel fibers are heated to 600 °C and 1000 °C, and the influence of the…
On the Variability of the Temperature Coefficients of mc-Si Solar Cells with Irradiance
2016
Abstract The temperature sensitivity of silicon solar cells is in general assumed to be constant with irradiance in PV forecasting models, although it has been demonstrated experimentally that this is not true. In this study a theoretical model is established that describes the variation of the temperature coefficients of a silicon solar cell as a function of the irradiance. It is shown that the temperature sensitivity of the solar cell efficiency is decreasing with the irradiance and that the main reason for this behavior comes from the increase of the open-circuit voltage with light intensity. Moreover, a dependency of the cell's ideality factor on the irradiance has to be assumed to rece…
Nonlinear finite element analysis of no-tension masonry structures
1995
A numerical approach for structural analysis of masonry walls in plane stress conditions is presented. The assumption of a perfectly no-tension material (NTM) constitutive model, whose relevant equations are in the form of classical rate-independent associated flow laws of elastoplastic material, allows one to adopt numerical procedures commonly used in computational plasticity. An accuracy analysis on the integration algorithm employed in the solution of constitutive relations has been carried out. The results obtained for some relevant case-studies and their comparison with data, available in the literature show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

La construcción de subjetividades en el Tercer Sector: aproximación a las Empresas de Inserción en el marco del Capitalismo Flexible
2016
El presente trabajo de Tesis Doctoral pretende realizar una aproximación a las Empresas de Inserción, sus prácticas, lógicas y efectos en el marco de las entidades del Tercer Sector. El objetivo que perseguimos al aproximarnos a las Empresas de Inserción es describir su situación en la sociedad actual atendiendo al papel que juegan las entidades en la construcción de subjetividades. Hacerlo posibilitará la comprensión y el análisis de las prácticas concretas que se desarrollan en las Empresas de Inserción, así como la comprensión y análisis de las lógicas seguidas por las entidades que las desarrollan. Para contextualizar el análisis emplearemos los desarrollos teóricos y metodológicos de L…
Standard partial molar volumes of alcohols in aqueous dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide solutions
1990
Density measurements of water-dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB)-alcohol ternary systems as a function of alcohol and surfactant concentrations were carried out at 25°C. The alcohols were propanol (PrOH), 2-propanol (2-PrOH) and hexanol (HexOH). The apparent molar volume Vϕ,R of alcohols have been calculated and the standard (infinite dilution) partial molar volumes of alcohols V R at each surfactant concentration were obtained by means of a least squares fit of Vϕ,R vs. the alcohol concentration. The V R vs. surfactant concentration curves have been rationalized in terms of the partial molar volume of alcohol in the aqueous V f and the micellar V b phases and the distribution constant…
