Use of Plackett–Burman and Box–Behnken designs to optimize bioelectricity production from winery residues
(MDPI, 2023-08-25)
[Abstract]: This study aimed to estimate the bioelectricity production process using a vinasse solution through the application of Plackett–Burman and Box–Behnken designs. An electrochemical cell was constructed using ...
How Political Decisions Affect the Economy of a Sector: The Example of Photovoltaic Energy in Spain
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
[Abstract] The economic crisis in Spain (2008–2012) led to a massive decrease in the feed-in tariff on photovoltaic solar energy production, which caused stagnation in the growth of this market. The objective of this paper ...
A Multicriteria Evaluation of Sustainable Riparian Revegetation with Local Fruit Trees around a Reservoir of a Hydroelectric Power Plant in Central Brazil
(MDPI, 2021)
[Abstract] The construction of hydropower plants often requires the flooding of large land areas, causing considerable alterations in the natural environment. In the region surrounding the reservoir of the Corumbá IV ...
Effect of phase-change materials on laboratory-made insoles: analysis of environmental conditions
(MDPI, 2022-10-07)
[Abstract]: Thermal comfort is essential when wearing a postural-corrective garment. Discomfort of any kind may deter regular use and prolong user recovery time. The objective of this work is therefore to optimize a new ...
Design Sprint: Enhancing STEAM and Engineering Education Through Agile Prototyping and Testing Ideas
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[Abstract] Creating project-based learning experiences in the classroom where students learn in a team to solve complex problems and to develop creative and critical thinking is a challenge. Design Sprint (DS) is an agile ...
An assessment on the efficiency of clothing with UV protection among the Spanish Navy school students
(MDPI, 2022-09-08)
[Abstract] Concern about the harmful effects that ultraviolet (UV) rays have on the skin of people who are routinely exposed to solar radiation has driven the industry of skin protection creams, sunglasses and clothing. ...
Effects of paraffin additives, as phase change materials, on the behavior of a traditional lime mortar
(Elsevier, 2022-12-26)
[Abstract]: This study refers to the inclusion of phase change materials (PCMs) in porous building materials as an alternative means of improving their thermal behavior, assessing the changes caused in their physical-mechanical ...
