Teachers as Designers of Formative e-Rubrics: A Case Study on the Introduction and Validation of Go/No Go Criteria
Springer Verlag (2019-07-18)Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) offer new roles to teachers to improve learning processes. In this regard, learning rubrics are commonplace. However, the design of these rubrics has focused mainly ... -
Techno-economic analysis of a PV/T waste heat–driven compound ejector-heat pump for simultaneous data centre cooling and district heating using low global warming potential refrigerants
Springer Nature (2022-08-05)A comprehensive techno-economic evaluation is evaluated based on an innovative compound ejector-heat pump system with PV/T (photovoltaic thermal) waste heat-driven. The aim of the system is simultaneous data centre cooling ... -
Technologies for Building a Spatial Augmented Reality Prototype to Act as a Creative Resource for Designers and Artists
Common Ground Publishing (2015-07)This paper analyzes the technologies, devices and equipment available today that can contribute to the creation of an interactive environment based on Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR). The objective is to define what should ... -
Temporal evolution of the environmental performance of implementing selective collection in municipal waste management systems in developing countries: A Brazilian case study
Elsevier (2018)The aim of this study is to analyse the evolution of the municipal solid waste management system of João Pessoa (Brazil), which was one of the Brazilian pioneers cities in implementing door-to-door selective collection ... -
Tensile test on interlayer materials for laminated glass under diverse ageing conditions and strain rates
Elsevier (2020-05-20)Laminated glass is obtained by bonding two or more glass layers with a polymeric interlayer. The coupling between glass layers depends on the shear stiffness of the interlayer. The mechanical and optical properties of the ... -
Ternary refrigerant blends for ultra-low temperature refrigeration
Elsevier (2023)The absence of GWP limitation for refrigerants operating in vapour compression systems with a target temperature below –50 ◦C has caused slower market development. Therefore, while typical refrigeration applications have ... -
Testing the degree of biostabilization in the refuse from composting plants
Science Publishing Group (2014-10-30)In composting plants, aerobic fermentation could not to be complete and therefore, the fate of unstabilyzed wastes from the compost refining, uses to be landfill. This fact provokes an extra biogas generation in landfills, ... -
TEWI analysis of a standalone refrigeration system using low-GWP fluids with leakage ratio consideration
Elsevier (2020-06-04)In few years, stand-alone systems will rely on low-GWP refrigerants in order to reduce their direct impact, which agrees with the recent regulations and standards. However, the energy performance of the system is dependent ... -
The Anthropomorphic Hand Assessment Protocol (AHAP)
Elsevier (2019-11)The progress in the development of anthropomorphic hands for robotic and prosthetic applications has not been followed by a parallel development of objective methods to evaluate their performance. The need for benchmarking ... -
The BE-UJI hand function activity set: a reduced set of activities for the evaluation of the healthy and pathological hand
BioMed Central (BMC) (2023-09)Background Hand kinematics during hand function tests based on the performance of activities of daily living (ADLs) can provide objective data to determine patients’ functional loss. However, they are rarely used during ... -
The Compressive Strength and Microstructure of Alkali-Activated Binary Cements Developed by Combining Ceramic Sanitaryware with Fly Ash or Blast Furnace Slag
MDPI (2018)The properties of a binder developed by the alkali-activation of a single waste material can improve when it is blended with different industrial by-products. This research aimed to investigate the influence of blast ... -
The connection between the heat storage capability of PCM as a material property and their performance in real scale applications
Elsevier (2017-06)Using phase change materials (PCM) for Thermal Energy Storage, the most important material property is their heat storage capability, usually given as h(T). Ideally, h(T) changes suddenly at a single temperature. However, ... -
The contact angle of nanofluids as thermophysical property
Elsevier (2019-07-01)Droplet volume and temperature affect contact angle significantly. Phase change heat transfer processes of nanofluids – suspensions containing nanometre-sized particles – can only be modelled properly by understanding these ... -
The Cost of Change in Parametric Modeling: A Roadmap
CAD Solutions (2021)In this paper, we lay the foundation for estimating the cost associated to parametric modeling changes and discuss its implications on the broader context of engineering change management. We provide an analysis of the ... -
The determination of waste generation and composition as an essential tool to improve the waste management plan of a university
Elsevier (2016-07)When many people work in organized institutions or enterprises, those institutions or enterprises become big meeting places that also have energy, water and resources necessities. One of these necessities is the correct ... -
