Ultralow-temperature refrigeration systems: Configurations and refrigerants to reduce the environmental impact
Elsevier (2019-11-18)Several environmental protection policies have been enforced restricting working fluids with high global warming potential (GWP) values used in many types of refrigeration and heat pump systems. However, ultralow-temperature ... -
Understanding Forearm Muscle Activity during Everyday Common Grasps: Insights for Rehabilitation, Prosthetic Control, and Human–Machine Interaction
MDPI (2024-04-10)The specific role of forearm muscles in the development of activities of daily living (ADL) remains unknown. Consequently, studying forearm muscle activity during the most commonly used grasps in ADL would yield valuable ... -
University Social Responsibility towards Engineering Undergraduates: The Effect of Methodology on a Service-Learning Experience
MDPI (2018)Service-Learning (SL) experiences enable University Social Responsibility (USR) to be worked on in engineering studies as a core of education for Sustainability. The combined use of such experiences with active ... -
Upward vertical two-phase flow local flow regime identification using neural network techniques
Elsevier (2008)Traditionally, the flow regimes in two-phase flow are considered in a global sense. However, a local flow regime is required to understand and model the interfacial structures present in the flow. In this work, a new ... -
Urban Scene Protection and Unconventional Practices—Contemporary Landscapes in World Heritage Cities of Spain
MDPI (2022-02-23)This paper theoretically examines the extent to which visual perception has excluded alternative forms of culture in World Heritage cities and towns in Spain. To do so, an initial review is carried out of the UNESCO ... -
Use of ceramic sanitaryware as an alternative for the development of new sustainable binders
Trans Tech Publications (2016)Large amounts of ceramic sanitary-ware waste are generated in both the production process and construction and demolition practices. This waste contains amorphous phases that may react with the Portlandite that originates ... -
Use of residual diatomaceous earth as a silica source in geopolymer production
Elsevier (2018)The use of binders as an alternative to Portland cement has gained importance in recent years. Among them, geopolymeric binders, developed by the reaction between an aluminosilicate precursor and a high alkalinity solution, ... -
Usefulness of evolution lines in eco-design
Elsevier (2011)The concept of evolution trends comes from the idea that all technical systems follow the same patterns of evolution, thus making it possible to anticipate the technological jumps enabling an inventive problem to be solved. ... -
Users’ Reactions Captured by Means of an EEG Headset on Viewing the Presentation of Sustainable Designs Using Verbal Narrative
(2018)The aim of this paper is to determine whether consu mers accept new arguments for choosing a product that adapts to future needs. It is also seeks to investigate whether the design of products and ... -
