Ranking fuzzy cognitive map based scenarios with TOPSIS
(Elsevier, 2012-02)
Scenarios describe events and situations that would occurred in the future real-world. Policy makers use scenario methods as a tool to build landscapes of possible futures at a national level. Based on these future visions, ...
Methodological proposals for improved assessments of the impact of traffic noise upon human health
(Springer-Verlag, 2010)
Several methodological shortcomings still hinder the inclusion of transport noise as an established impact category within life cycle assessment (LCA). Earlier attempts to quantify the health damages caused by traffic noise ...
Retrofit of existing railway bridges of short to medium spans for high-speed traffic using viscoelastic dampers
(Elsevier, 2012)
This paper presents a study on the energy-absorbing capacities of viscoelastic dampers (VEDs) for reducing the resonant vibrations of simply supported high-speed railway bridges of short to medium span. The proposed solution ...
Malleability Implementation in a MPI Iterative Method
(IEEE, 2021-09)
In this poster is evaluated the data redistribution stage for two malleable versions of the Conjugate Gradient. One version is based on synchronous communications, while the other one uses asynchronous communications to ...
Drop-in analysis of an internal heat exchanger in a vapour compression system using R1234ze(E) and R450A as alternatives for R134a
(Elsevier, 2015-10)
The IHX (internal heat exchanger) is introduced in some refrigeration systems in order to achieve higher energy performances. Results obtained vary greatly depending on the refrigerant used and working conditions. This ...
Automated modelling of complex refrigeration cycles through topological structure analysis
(Elsevier, 2009)
We have developed a computational method for analysis of refrigeration cycles. The method is well suited for automated analysis of complex refrigeration systems. The refrigerator is specified through a description of flows ...
Comparison of environmental impacts of building structures with in situ cast floors and with precast concrete floors
(Elsevier, 2009)
In this paper, the environmental impacts of two types of slab systems are studied. The first type, a concrete-based one-way spanning slab, is the most common solution in residential buildings in Spain. The second type, a ...
Computer-aided sketching as a tool to promote innovation in the new product development process
(Elsevier, 2009)
Sketching is an established part of engineering culture. Sketches assist product designers during the creative stages of design and help them to develop inventions. Paper-and-pencil sketching is highly useful but lacks ...
Computerized design of advanced straight and skew bevel gears produced by precision forging
(Elsevier, 2011-07-01)
The computerized design of advanced straight and skew bevel gears produced by precision forging is proposed. Modifications of the tooth surfaces of one of the members of the gear set are proposed in order to localize the ...
Activity modelling in a collaborative ceramic tile design chain: an enhanced IDEF0 approach
(Springer-Verlag, 2008)
Explicit descriptions of should-be and to-be activities and processes are key elements in implementing industrial projects aimed at improving new-product development (NPD) processes, especially when e-collaboration utilities ...
