Experimental Analysis of the Thermal Performance of Wood Fiber Insulating Panels
2023
During the last decades, attention to energy and environmental problems has significantly grown, along with the development of international and national policies addressing sustainability issues. In the construction sector, one of the most widespread energy efficiency strategies consists of thermal insulation of buildings thanks to external insulating panels. Among these, wood fiber is an insulating material characterized by a natural, eco-sustainable and biodegradable structure, coming from the recycling of waste wood from sawmills. The present study aimed to characterize small test building insulated with wood fiber panels from the thermal point of view, comparing the results with those …
External sustainability in Spanish economy: bubbles and crises, 1970–2020
2023
We address the issue of the sustainability Spain’s exter-nal debt, using data for the period 1970–2020. To detect episodes of potentially explosive behavior of the Spanish net foreign assets over GDP ratio and the current account balance over GDP ratio, as well as episodes of external adjustments over this long period, we employ a recursive unit root test approach. Our empirical analysis leads us to conclude that there is some evidence of bubbles in the ratio between Spanish net foreign assets and the GDP. In contrast, the evidence that the ratio between the Spanish current account balance and the GDP had explosive subperiods is very weak. The episode of explosive behavior identified in the…
Toward the Development of Load Transfer Efficiency Evaluation of Rigid Pavements by a Rolling Wheel Deflectometer
2020
The jointed rigid pavement is currently evaluated by the Falling weight deflectometer which is rather slow for the testing of the jointed pavements. Continuous nondestructive evaluation of rigid pavements with a rolling wheel deflectometer can be used to measure the load transfer and is investigated. Load transfer is an important indicator of the rigid pavement&rsquo
Enquête sur l’atelier : histoire, fonctions, transformations
2014
Une stylisation de l’histoire de l’atelier d’artiste fait dependre ses fonctions du degre d’individualisation du travail createur, des innovations esthetiques et de l’economie de la production artistique. La periodisation qui suit fournit une trame sommaire. Indistinction entre art et artisanat d’abord : les ateliers sont situes dans les monasteres, dans les demeures des mecenes de la cour ou se confondent avec le domicile ou avec la boutique d’artisan en ville. Variabilite croissante des emp...
Instytucja zaprzeczenia ojcostwa - między teorią a praktyką w prawie polskim
2019
Artykuł powstał z uwagi na przypadki spraw o zaprzeczenie ojcostwa, z jakimi autorka miała styczność w dotychczasowej pracy w kancelarii prawnej. Czas na wytoczenie przez mężczyznę powództwa o zaprzeczenie ojcostwa lub o ustalenie bezskuteczności uznania ojcostwa jest krótki i wynosi 6 miesięcy. Ponadto po jego upłynięciu jedyną możliwością z perspektywy ojca jest wytoczenie powództwa przez prokuratora, który de facto nie musi się przychylić do wniosku mężczyzny i może odmówić tej czynności. Jednak w żadnym z tych przypadków ustalenie więzów biologicznych między ojcem a dzieckiem nie jest jeszcze przesądzone. Jeśli matka dziecka wyraża zgodę na badania DNA, które jednoznacznie wykluczają oj…
Exploring identity construction in bilingual families
2017
Tämän pro gradu-tutkielman tarkoituksena on tarkastella kahden kaksikielisen perheen jäsenten identiteetin rakentumista. Vaikka kaksikielisyyttä perheissä on tutkittu laajalti, identiteetin rakentumisen näkökulmasta tutkimuksia on suhteellisen vähän. Tutkimus on luonteeltaan laadullinen ja tavoitteena oli selvittää miten perheenjäsenet kuvaavat identiteettiään ja identifioituvat kieliinsä sekä millaisia identiteettejä he rakentavat itselleen. Identiteettiin liittyen, tukielma halusi myös vastata kysymyksiin kielen käytöstä sekä tunteiden ilmaisemisesta. Tutkielma myös tarkastelee mahdollisia eroja ja yhtäläisyyksiä identiteettien välillä sukupolvien sekä sisarusten kesken. Lähtökohtana tutk…
Modeling the influence of potassium content and heating rate on biomass pyrolysis
2017
This study presents a combined kinetic and particle model that describes the effect of potassium and heating rate during the fast pyrolysis of woody and herbaceous biomass. The model calculates the mass loss rate, over a wide range of operating conditions relevant to suspension firing. The shrinking particle model considers internal and external heat transfer limitations and incorporates catalytic effects of potassium on the product yields. Modeling parameters were tuned with experimentally determined char yields at high heating rates (>200 K s−1) using a wire mesh reactor, a single particle burner, and a drop tube reactor. The experimental data demonstrated that heating rate and potassium …
Exploiting Data Analytics and Deep Learning Systems to Support Pavement Maintenance Decisions
2021
Road networks are critical infrastructures within any region and it is imperative to maintain their conditions for safe and effective movement of goods and services. Road Management, therefore, plays a key role to ensure consistent efficient operation. However, significant resources are required to perform necessary maintenance activities to achieve and maintain high levels of service. Pavement maintenance can typically be very expensive and decisions are needed concerning planning and prioritizing interventions. Data are key towards enabling adequate maintenance planning but in many instances, there is limited available information especially in small or under-resourced urban road authorit…

El cuerpo materno en la red: entre el orden de lo ?deseable? y el de lo real
2019
El estilo de vida fitness se realiza en, y a través de, un entramado subjetivo y de poder en el que circulan y se ensamblan dispositivos empresariales, terapéuticos, sanitarios y de espectacularización de los cuerpos, tendientes a inscribir la vida de la población en las tramas conflictivas de un capitalismo heterosexista, neoliberal e informacional. En dicho marco, la temporalidad, metamorfosis y plasticidad del cuerpo materno irrumpe como problema y objeto de intervención de tecnologías diversas orientadas a ajustar su tamaño, forma y devenir a los parámetros de la vida activa y saludable. En escenarios digitales, dicha tensión se materializa, por un lado, a través de dispositivos visuale…
