(English) Induced seismicity due to hydraulic stimulation and circulation is a hurdle for the development of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS). The monitored seismicity has occasionally reached magnitudes large enough to ...
En el campo de la cinética de la pirólisis de biomasa se han desarrollado numerosos trabajos de investigación que no acaban de resolver aspectos básicos del proceso. El análisis de resultados termogravimétricos aún requiere ...
(English) Fish can play a crucial role in feeding the growing global population and providing it with essential nutrients. However, the world’s fish stocks are limited and almost fully exploited. Consequently, aquaculture ...
The visibility of the food waste volume along the food supply chain during the recent years has situated this topic in the policy and research agenda. Food waste entails environmental, ethical and economic impacts. There ...
Understanding humans from photographs has always been a fundamental goal of computer vision. Early works focused on simple tasks such as detecting the location of individuals by means of bounding boxes. As the field ...
(English) This thesis provides empirical evidence, with an unprecedented sample size, that sustainability news moves the stock market, particularly positive news related to fossil fuels. The findings confirm that there is ...
(English) Thin targets, in form of foils, stripes or wires, are widely used in beam instrumentation to measure various beam parameters, such as intensity, position and size. All these monitors can differ in geometry and ...
(English) Atmospheric mineral dust is composed of a variety of mineral particles exhibiting distinct composition, shape, and size. The wide range of diameters exhibited by dust particles, spanning more than three orders ...
Cementitious materials are used to condition or stabilise waste and to build infrastructure in disposal sites. Moreover, they are envisaged to form part of engineered barrier systems as container, backfill or liner materials ...
(English) This thesis covers the development of large-scale numerical methods for the simulations of partial differential equations on arbitrarily complex geometries. The target application of this thesis is the structural ...
