Coordinated combination of methodologies as the key to success in the teaching of very heterogeneous groups
(Universidade da Coruña. Servizo de publicacións, 2020)[Abstract:] The International Master in Water Engineering is a Joint Degree offered by the University of A Coruña and the Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal, which counts with the collaboration of other prestigious international ... -
An Application of Fish Detection Based on Eye Search with Artificial Vision and Artificial Neural Networks
(MDPI AG, 2020-10-27)[Abstract] A fish can be detected by means of artificial vision techniques, without human intervention or handling the fish. This work presents an application for detecting moving fish in water by artificial vision based ... -
Assessing the Effects of Climate Change on Compound Flooding in Coastal River Areas
(AGU Journals, 2021)[Abstract] Flood assessment in coastal river areas is subject to complex dependencies and interactions between flood drivers. In addition, coastal areas are especially vulnerable to climate change, and thus its effects ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Hydrofracturing tests on granite samples using a true triaxial device equipped with acoustic emission sensors
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)[Abstract:] We present a series of tests performed on granite samples using a true triaxial device designed and built at the Rock Mechanics Laboratory (University of A Coruña). The experiments were performed using cubic ... -
Anisotropic deformability and strength of slate from NW-Spain
(Elsevier, 2021)[Abstract:] Slates are metamorphic rocks characterized by the pervasive occurrence of cleavage or foliation producing a highly anisotropic mechanical behavior characterized by fissility. Deformability and strength of these ... -
Drinking Water Provision and Quality at the Sahrawi Refugee Camps in Tindouf (Algeria) From 2006 to 2016
(Elsevier, 2021)[Abstract] Drinking water provision has been a constant challenge in the Sahrawi refugee camps, located in the desert near Tindouf (Algeria). The drinking water supply system is itself divided in three zones which pump ... -
Extension of the two‐component pressure approach for modeling mixed free‐surface‐pressurized flows with the two‐dimensional shallow water equations
(Wiley, 2021)[Abstract:] Numerical models based on the two-dimensional shallow water equations (2D-SWE) are routinely used in flood risk management and inundation studies. However, most of these models do not adequately account for ... -
Análisis y evaluación de las alternativas de protección de las aguas subterráneas durante las operaciones de extracción de los residuos (alquitranes ácidos) en una laguna de Arganda del Rey (Madrid)
(Instituto Geológico y Minero de España, 2021)[Resumen:] La Comunidad de Madrid está llevando a cabo la restauración integral de una antigua gravera contaminada con residuos peligrosos, mayoritariamente sulfonatos de petróleo (alquitranes ácidos), procedentes del ... -
Assessing Different Imaging Velocimetry Techniques to Measure Shallow Runoff Velocities During Rain Events Using an Urban Drainage Physical Model
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)[Abstract] Although surface velocities are key in the calibration of physically based urban drainage models, the shallow water depths developed during non-extreme precipitation and the potential risks during flood events ... -
How Do Modeling Choices and Erosion Zone Locations Impact the Representation of Connectivity and the Dynamics of Suspended Sediments in a Multi-Source Soil Erosion Model?
(Copernicus GmbH, 2021)[Abstract] Soil erosion and suspended sediment transport understanding is an important issue in terms of soil and water resources management in the critical zone. In mesoscale watersheds (>10 km2) the spatial distribution ... -
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 ... -
Coupling artificial neural networks with the artificial bee colony algorithm for global calibration of hydrological models
(Springer, 2021)[Abstract:] Hydrological models are widely used tools in water resources management. Their successful application requires an efficient calibration of the model parameters. Nowadays, there are very powerful global search ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Modelling Weirs in Two-Dimensional Shallow Water Models
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] 2D models based on the shallow water equations are widely used in river hydraulics. However, these models can present deficiencies in those cases in which their intrinsic hypotheses are not fulfilled. One of ... -
Benchmarking of Drought and Climate Indices for Agricultural Drought Monitoring in Argentina
(Elsevier, 2021)[Abstract] Site-specific studies are required to identify suitable drought indices (DIs) for assessing and predicting drought-related impacts. This study presents a benchmark of eight DIs and 19 large-scale climate indices ... -
Editorial—Physical Modelling in Hydraulics Engineering
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] Note: In lieu of an abstract, this is an excerpt from the first page: Laboratory experiments and field works play a crucial role in hydraulic research, development, and design as many hydraulic processes elude ... -
Machine Learning Based Moored Ship Movement Prediction
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] Several port authorities are involved in the R+D+i projects for developing port management decision-making tools. We recorded the movements of 46 ships in the Outer Port of Punta Langosteira (A Coruña, Spain) ...
