Determination of the thermoelectric properties of a skutterudite-based device at practical operating temperatures by impedance spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2019-10-01)
Skutterudite-based thermoelectric materials are promising candidates for waste heat recovery applications at intermediate temperatures (300–500 °C) owing to their high dimensionless figure of merit and power factor. Recently, ...
Proteomic analysis of calcium-enriched sol–gel biomaterials
(Springer, 2019-04)
Calcium is an element widely used in the development of biomaterials for bone tissue engineering as it plays important roles in bone metabolism and blood coagulation. The Ca ions can condition the microenvironment at the ...

Actuator Fault Tolerant Control Proposal for PI Controlled SISO Systems
(ElsevierIFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control), 2018-08-29)
In this work, we develop a control structure which can be added to an existing closed loop in order to mitigate the effect of actuator faults. We analyze the initial performance of the closed loop in terms of robustness ...
Banks of estimators and decision mechanisms for pitch actuator and sensor FE in wind turbines
(ElsevierIFAC (International Federation of Automatic Control), 2018-08-29)
Wind turbines are prone to multiple different faults and input observability conditions are not always guaranteed for these faults. In such cases, it is not possible to build estimators which provide appropriate fault ...
Energy Rehabilitation of Social Housing in Vulnerable Areas Case study: a 1950s Building in a Medium-sized Mediterranean City
(Ierek Press, 2019-03)
In the urban context, buildings play a key role as they are energy consumers. In well-established cities with a
high percentage of aged building stock, the focus should lie on sensitive urban areas where the weakest ...
A proposal of an evaluation model under the principles of universal design
(Design Society, 2010)
The aim of this work is to try to set out how the Universal Design (UD) paradigm can influence the
process of product design and how the models of evaluation should work for products designed for all
users. Firstly, we ...
Analysing observer preferences when presenting a product in a rendered scene: 2D vs. autostereoscopic 3D displays
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)
This research compares the way the image of a product included within a rendered scene shown on an autostereoscopic 3D display is rated versus the same image shown in a 2D display. The purpose is to understand the observer's ...
