A Comparison of Different Methods for Rainfall Imputation: A Galician Case Study
(MDPI, 2023)[Abstract] Abstract With the ultimate goal of developing models that involve the use of environmental variables, a GIS-based application is being developed that is circumscribed to the region of Galicia (Spain). Ten-minute ... -
A Detailed Identification of Classificatory Variables in Ship Accidents: A Spanish Case Study
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] The present paper shows an original study of more than 163 ship accidents in Spain showing which of the usually employed variables are related to each type of vessel accident due to the lack of information in ... -
A Global Review of PWR Nuclear Power Plants
(MDPI, 2020-06-27)[Abstract] Nuclear energy is presented as a real option in the face of the current problem of climate change and the need to reduce CO2 emissions. The nuclear reactor design with the greatest global impact throughout history ... -
A New Design Criterion to Improve the Intact Stability of Galician Small Fishing Vessels
(MDPI, 2020-07-07)[Abstract] The first technical factor involved in maritime accidents is related to the lack of intact stability. The current stability criterion, based on fixing a minimum value for each of the di erent static and dynamic ... -
A New Methodology for Decision-Making in Buildings Energy Optimization
(MDPI, 2020-06-30)[Abstract] When designing or retrofitting a building, not too many tools let architects and engineers to define the optimal conditions to reduce energy consumption with the minimal economic investment. This is because ... -
A New Methodology for Optimization of Lashing Lines in the Securing Arrangement of Non-Standardized Cargo on Ships
(MDPI, 2024)[Abstract] The stowage plan and the securing arrangement of non-standardized cargo are some of the most important aspects in terms of cargo safety and economic costs. For this reason, the optimization of this operation is ... -
A new procedure to analyze the effect of air changes in building energy consumption
(Springer, 2014)[Abstract] Background: Today, the International Energy Agency is working under good practice guides that integrate appropriate and cost effective technologies. In this paper a new procedure to define building energy ... -
A New Procedure to Design an Open Circuit Blowing Subsonic Moist-AirWind Tunnel
(MDPI, 2023)[Abstract] The present research work shows how a functional subsonic moist-air wind tunnel has been designed. Although this type of wind tunnel has never been developed to date, it is particularly interesting to develop a ... -
A New Understanding and Modelling of TSP and BP Indices Compared to Safety IMO Ship Requirements
(MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] Due to the lack of information about the concept of Tons of Steering Pull (TSP) of many escort tugs, and the lack of research works relating the TSP demanded by a tethered vessel with respect to the TSP provided ... -
A Novel Method Based on Neural Networks for Designing Internal Coverings in Buildings: Energy Saving and Thermal Comfort
(2019)[Abstract] Although several papers define energy saving and thermal comfort optimization with internal coverings materials, none of them deal with predictive models to improve design in building constructions. Thus, ... -
A Novel Method for nZEB Internal Coverings Design Based on Neural Networks
(2019)[Abstract] Research from the International Energy Agency about indoor ambiences and nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB) in the past has been centred on di erent aspects such as the prediction of indoor conditions as a ... -
