Relatos de barrios: Villa Covico
Relatos de Barrios Villa Covico es un libro que busca ser un instrumento de sensibilización para la valoración del patrimonio cultural, como también, invitar a la reflexión sobre la memoria colectiva y la importancia de ...
Cloud-based LaTeX editors for collaborative academic projects, case study in Overleaf
Cloud-based LaTeX editors like Overleaf have revolutionized document preparation, partic- ularly in STEM fields, by offering intuitive interfaces and extensive formatting capabilities. This work explores the advantages of ...
Love, money, fame, nudge: enabling data-intensive bioscience through digital infrastructure nudging
“Bioscience has emerged as a data-rich discipline, in a transformation that is spreading as widely now as molecular biology in the twentieth century. We look forward to supporting new research careers, where data are valued ...
The challenge of rationally predicting distal activity-enhancing mutations in computational enzyme design
Enzymes exist as an ensemble of conformational states, whose populations can be shifted by substrate binding, allosteric interactions, but also by introducing mutations to their sequence. Tuning the populations of the ...
Use of activity theory to analyse and improve project-based courses
Teaching has long been viewed as both an art and a craft. In this context, we may recognise that there are parts of teaching and education that are hard to quantify and frequently escape rigorous analysis. Pedagogical ...

AST-GNN: A graph neural network for web tracking detection
Web tracking technology is prevalent on the Internet today, with most websites employing user identification systems that can accurately identify users or devices behind browsers. While numerous works in literature attempt ...
Shear strength at the soil-root interface under different saturation states
Understanding the mechanical interaction at the soil-root interface is essential for predicting how vegetation stabilises slopes, especially under changing vegetation-atmosphere conditions. One of the main challenges is ...
Accelerating net zero through innovative energy service models: a BESS-as-a-service case study with real-time grid simulation
We allow authors to deposit a copy of their manuscript (reviewed, revised and typeset, but not the final published PDF) in repositories, servers and websites of any sort, provided that these servers are operated by the ...
Bridging innovation and resilience through the norisk erasmus mundus program in european civil infrastructure education
This paper introduces the NORISK Erasmus Mundus Joint Master program, an innovative, multidisciplinary initiative designed to equip a new generation of professionals with advanced expertise in risk assessment and management ...
Impact of stakeholders’ interest on sustainability assessment of geosynthetic reinforced soil structures
The concept of sustainability involves several variables that must be carefully identified and analyzed to provide solutions which ensure the short-, medium-, and long-term well-being of society. As per European standards, ...
Time domain measurement of magnetic field shielding of planar materials
This study uses time domain measurements to determine the magnetic field shielding effectiveness of materials within the frequency range of 200 kHz to 30 MHz. The setup, based on the IEEE 299, employs a shielded room and ...
EPS@ISEP: mapping sustainability
The European Project Semester (EPS) is a project-based learning framework designed to prepare engineering undergraduates for future professional challenges. During one semester, multicultural multidisciplinary teams design, ...
A future-proof design for long-running MPI-based computations in HPC
Support for long-running computations on supercomputers has long been a pain point. To maintain scheduling flexibility, sysadmins set a maximum resource allocation (e.g., 48 hours) for HPC jobs. Sysadmins also often offer ...
inDust Webinar: A quarter century of dust sources detection from space
Since the first use of aerosol optical depth retrieved from space over ocean to infer dust sources by Usar, Prospero and Stowe in 1997 to tomorrow launch (fingers crossed) of the first hyperspectral instrument (Earth Surace ...
Nine practical examples of EPS projects
For over a decade, the Vilanova i la Geltrú City Council has collaborated with the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) to develop projects beneficial to the city. This partnership involves three UPC schools: the School ...
A topological data analysis perspective on viral evolution
COVID-19 is a disease caused by a coronavirus named SARS-CoV-2. As the virus has been spreading around the world, millions of viral genomes have been sequenced. Genomes provide an accurate record of variation and evolution ...
Galaxy : beyond the user interface
To enable research to do data intensive analysis, Galaxy is a commonly used research environment which provides a user interface which hides the complexity of using (super)computing clusters and cloud infrastructure. Behind ...
