Estimación de la velocidad de flujo del agua en cauces efímeros no aforados a partir de datos Lidar y GPS-RTK
2013
The Manning formula is one of the most used to calculate the average velocity of water flow in ungauged channels. In order to be applied, it is necessary to measure in field the hydraulic radius (RH), the slope of the water surface (S), and to obtain the roughness coefficient (n), usually through tables created for this purpose. This involves a difficult, inefficient and subjective data collection in the field. This study evaluates the possibility to obtain these parameters in a more efficient manner, reducing the time of the process and allowing to work in larger areas. To achieve these objectives, the data used in this work were: 1) digital terrain models generated from airborne LiDAR dat…
Análisis comparativo de conflictos territoriales: el caso de Poblats Maritims (Valencia, España) y el distrito Sud-Ouest (Montreal, Canadá)
2014
This paper makes a comparative analysis of territorial conflicts in two districts in two different cities: Valencia in Spain and Montreal in Canada. These two industrial districts are experiencing a deep physical transformation, which has led numerous protests and locational conflicts To do that, a systematic database of conflicts appeared in the last 15 years in each district (Poblats Maritims district in Valencia and Sud-Ouest in Montreal) was set up. We establish finally some interesting conclusions about the relationship between the emergence
The Ability of Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crasipes Mart.) and Water Lettuce (Pistia stratiotes Linn.) for Reducing Pollutants in Batik Wastewater
2021
Batik produced by craftsmen is categorized as a small and medium industry. The problem of Batik production is less attention to the environment because the craftsmen lived in the middle of a residential area that has inexperience. One of less attention to the environment is no treatment of wastewater that reaches up to 95 % (61.9 L each cloth). Thus it polluted the river. This research aimed to treat the wastewater of Batik production by using phytoremediation. In this study, phytoremediation was carried out in three tanks in series using Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes which are abundant in Indonesia. The treated wastewater was evaluated for its ammonia and chromium (Cr). The re…
La relación entre toponimia urbana y topografía en la Ciutat Vella de Valencia: análisis mediante métodos cuantitativos y cualitativos
2017
El casco antiguo o Ciutat Vella de Valencia se caracteriza en apariencia por el escaso desnivel del terreno; sin embargo, algunos de sus topónimos describen o denotan un relieve accidentado que parece desmentir dicha impresión de planitud. Gracias a la tecnología LIDAR, capaz de detectar variaciones de centímetros en la altitud de la superficie terrestre, podemos comprobar si dichos orotopónimos se corresponden con superficies irregulares. Mediante métodos cuantitativos (LIDAR) y cualitativos (toponimia) se detectan y analizan desniveles del terreno, y se observa cómo estos han influido notablemente en la segregación social y en la distribución de los usos del suelo. València's Ciutat Vella…
The Future of Health / Fitness / Sports Performance
2017
O exercício relativo à saúde / aptidão física e desempenho esportivo tem mostrado um papel evolutivo ao longo do tempo. São apresentados fatores primários de grande escala, que provavelmente nos ajudarão a entender o caminho evolutivo futuro da saúde / aptidão física e desempenho esportivo. Esses fatores incluem: 1) a história do exercício, 2) o exercício em sua relação com a saúde, 3) a necessidade de aptidão física entre os militares e os socorristas, 4) a relação conflitante entre o esporte (representando o ápice da capacidade genômica humana para o exercício) versus a natureza excessivamente competitiva e compensada do esporte. Predominantemente, a necessidade de exercício como medicina…
Regional development of Romania – a premise for better project financing
2018
The article approaches important aspects regarding the regional development process in Romania in direct correlation with the European Union views and directives in this field. This paper argues that regionalization implies a new reorganization of Romania in view of a balanced development and to increase the absorption of European Funds, which consequently engages regional development, the development of local communities and the decentralization of public administration. Furthermore, in this paper we present the consistency issue concerning the request for territorial- administrative development in Romania, as it originates from the strategic documents, namely the "National Plan of Governa…
Measures of the Impact of Entrepreneurship on Economic Development in Romania
2017
Entrepreneurship has attracted the attention of many scholars in the last years due to its importance in the economy. Entrepreneurship is considered by many an important factor that could have a positive influence over the economic growth. Despite the recognition of the role of the entrepreneurship there is no general agreement of how entrepreneurship impacts the economy or a specific industry. The aim of this article is to provide some information about entrepreneurship, ways of measuring entrepreneurship, most common metrics used and the impact over the Romanian economy. To underline the relationship between these concepts some analysis were conducted in order to determine if they are cor…
The Unexpected profile of agricultural innovators: evidence from an empirical study
2020
[EN] Innovation capacity is essential for farmers to remain competitive and overcome the challenges facing Mediterranean agricultural systems. Based on an extensive empirical study, this paper elucidates the common attributes of innovative farmers in the Region of Valencia (Spain). The model presented in this study investigates whether an innovative attitude can be explained by market-entrepreneurial orientation, learning orientation, individual profile traits and farm size. The findings provide insights into how age and experience affect innovation in agricultural smallholdings. The study shows that the most innovative farmers run large farms and have a strong market-entrepreneurial orient…
Climate and extreme rainfall events in the Mono river basin (West Africa): investigating future changes with Regional Climate Models.
2020
This study characterizes the future changes in extreme rainfall and air temperature in the Mono river basin where the main economic activity is weather dependent and local populations are highly vulnerable to natural hazards, including flood inundations. Daily precipitation and temperature from observational datasets and Regional Climate Models (RCMs) output from REMO, RegCM, HadRM3, and RCA were used to analyze climatic variations in space and time, and fit a GEV model to investigate the extreme rainfalls and their return periods. The results indicate that the realism of the simulated climate in this domain is mainly controlled by the choice of the RCMs. These RCMs projected a 1 to 1.5 °
Tsunami Propagation and Flooding in Sicilian Coastal Areas by Means of a Weakly Dispersive Boussinesq Model
2020
This paper addresses the tsunami propagation and subsequent coastal areas flooding by means of a depth-integrated numerical model. Such an approach is fundamental in order to assess the inundation hazard in coastal areas generated by seismogenic tsunami. In this study we adopted, an interdisciplinary approach, in order to consider the tsunami propagation, relates both to geomorphological characteristics of the coast and the bathymetry. In order to validate the numerical model, comparisons with results of other studies were performed. This manuscript presents first applicative results achieved using the weakly dispersive Boussinesq model in the field of tsunami propagation and coastal inunda…
