Photoelastic Stress Analysis of Mode I Fracture Toughness Tests Using PMMA Samples
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)[Abstract] Rocks are usually inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials. The presence of foliation planes, grain boundaries or even microcracks may alter the stress distribution. In order to identify whether unusual behaviours ... -
Physicochemical parameters in the generation of turbidity episodes in a water supply distribution system
(MDPI, 2022)[Abstract:] Water is necessary for the development and support of human life. The ability of water to supply the different populations has different origins: water taken from river diversions, water from underground ... -
Plan de seguridad del agua en los Campos de Refugiados Saharauis en Tindouf (Argelia)
(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2018)[Resumen:] Desde 1975, unos 165 000 saharauis viven como refugiados en el desierto del Sahara cerca de Tindouf (Argelia). El agua disponible proviene de pozos profundos ubicados en algunos casos a decenas de kilómetros de ... -
Plastic Debris in Lakes and Reservoirs
(Springer Nature, 2023)[Abstract] Plastic debris is thought to be widespread in freshwater ecosystems globally1. However, a lack of comprehensive and comparable data makes rigorous assessment of its distribution challenging2,3. Here we present ... -
Programa de evaluación y monitoreo de las escorrentías pluviales contaminadas de un tramo del segundo cinturón de Donostia-San Sebastián
(Universidade da Coruña, Servicio de Publicacións, 2021)[Resumen:] En el presente capítulo se exponen los resultados obtenidos en la medición de los rendimientos de reducción de contaminación de una infraestructura de control y tratamiento de escorrentía procedente de un tramo ... -
Public Health Considerations for PM₁₀ in a High-Pollution Megacity: Influences of Atmospheric Condition and Land Coverage
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] This paper analyzes the PM₁₀ concentrations and influences of atmospheric condition (AC) and land coverage (LC) on a high-pollution megacity (Bogota, Colombia) from a public health viewpoint. Information of ... -
Quantifying local rainfall dynamics and uncertain boundary conditions into a nested regional-local flood modeling system
(Wiley, 2017)[Abstract:] Inflow discharge and outflow stage estimates for hydraulic flood models are generally derived from river gauge data. Uncertainties in the measured inflow data and the neglect of rainfall-runoff contributions ... -
Quantifying the role of individual flood drivers and their correlations in flooding of coastal river reaches
(Springer, 2019)[Abstract:] Flooding in coastal river reaches is the result of complex interactions between coastal and inland drivers. Flood hazard assessments need to consider how these drivers interact in space and time, for which a ... -
Rainwater Harvesting Techniques to Face Water Scarcity in African Drylands: Hydrological Efficiency Assessment
(MDPI, 2020)[Abstract] The sub-Saharan climate is experiencing a marked increase in temperature and intensification of precipitation intensity and variability. Besides, longer dry spells are compromising the reliability of local ... -
Regional streamflow prediction in northwest Spain: A comparative analysis of regionalisation schemes
(Elsevier, 2023)[Abstract:] Study Region: The present study was conducted in 24 watersheds located in the region of Galicia, in the northwest of Spain, covering an extension of approximately 13,000 km. Study focus: This study is focused ... -
Revealing the spatio-temporal characteristics of drought in Mozambique and their relationship with large-scale climate variability
(Elsevier, 2021)[Abstract:] Study region: Mozambique. Study focus: Mozambique does not currently have the necessary tools for systematic monitoring and forecasting of drought at a subnational scale. The purpose of this study was to ... -
Sedunit project: Study of the accumulation, erosion and sediment transport of cohesive solids in combined sewer systems
(WIT Press, 2018)[Abstract:] The SEDUNIT Project is a Spanish National Research focused on the study of the sediment transport in combined sewer systems. The main objective of this study is to advance in the understanding of the sediment ... -
Size Effect and Other Effects on Mode I Fracture Toughness Using Two Testing Methods
(Elsevier, 2021)[Abstract] Mode I fracture toughness (KIC) is an intrinsic material property that quantifies its resistance to tensile fracture propagation. The International Society for Rock Mechanics has endorsed four methods to determine ... -
Size effects on the tensile strength and fracture toughness of granitic rock in different tests
(Elsevier, 2023)[Abstract:] This study investigates the tensile failure mechanisms in granitic rock samples at different scales by means of different types of tests. To do that, we have selected a granitic rock type and obtained samples ... -
Stratification Strength and Light Climate Explain Variation in Chlorophyll 𝑎 at the Continental Scale in a European Multilake Survey in a Heatwave Summer
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2021-10-30)[Abstract] To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the ... -
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems in Spain: A Diagnosis
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) were almost unknown in Spain two decades ago; today, urban drainage in the country is transitioning towards a more sustainable and regenerative management in a global ... -
The influence of infragravity waves, wind, and basin resonance on vessel movements and related downtime at the Outer Port of Punta Langosteira, Spain
(Elsevier, 2022)[Abstract:] The coupling of low-frequency oscillatory modes of a harbor with horizontal motions of moored ships can amplify the latter, causing operational and safety problems. The objectives of this study were to analyze ... -
Towards urban drainage sediment accumulation monitoring using temperature sensors
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023)[Abstract:] Sewer sediments are among the main concerns related to urban drainage system management as they represent the largest contribution of suspended solid loads during rainfall events due to their resuspension. This ... -
