Artificial intelligence methods for anomaly detection in energy consumption
Non-technical losses represent a significant challenge for energy distribution companies due to their economic impact. These losses typically arise from irregularities at supply points and fraudulent customer behavior. In ...
Including unsaturated soil concepts in undergraduate courses: The UPC experience
The development of Unsaturated Soil Mechanics in the last decades has been spectacular, but mainly in the context of research. There is still a route to go when referring to practical applications or incorporating those ...
Efecto de la altura de medio filtrante y la velocidad de filtración en el comportamiento de distintos modelos de filtro de arena en instalaciones de riego por goteo con aguas regeneradas
Los filtros de arena son habitualmente utilizados en las instalaciones de riego por goteo para reducir la obturación de los goteros. Estos filtros están especialmente indicados cuando se utilizan aguas con carga elevada ...
Mezclas de gases alternativas al dióxido de carbono en dos fases como método de aturdimiento en pollos de engorde
El aturdimiento previo al sacrificio es obligatorio en la Unión Europea con el fin de prevenir cualquier dolor, angustia o sufrimiento evitable durante la matanza. Actualmente, el aturdimiento de pollos por dióxido de ...
Transparent and equitable metrics and models
During extensive training and tuning of large language models (LLMs) and foundational models (FM), researchers will inevitably encounter machine learning (ML) bias and fairness questions, which cast a shadow over the FM ...

Lecciones aprendidas
A través de experiencias vividas sobre gestión de deyecciones ganaderas y biogás, en España, Chile y Dinamarca, expongo aprendizajes sobre la importancia de la implicación y colaboración de los afectados, la visión compartida ...
3D modelling of gas injection tests on FEBEX material: incorporating heterogeneity effects
An experimental programme was conducted as part of the EURAD-GAS project, with the objective of understanding the mechanisms controlling advective gas flow through the Spanish reference barrier material, FEBEX bentonite. ...
Vertical air motion retrieval from frequency-modulated continuous-wave-radar rain measurements
Vertically pointing S-band Doppler radars measure reflectivity-velocity spectra, where the falling velocity of raindrops appears as a shift along the velocity axis. However, in convective rain scenarios, vertical air motion ...
María José Olivé Pérez: déficits y crecimiento urbano del Área Metropolitana de Barcelona, 1968-1981: El caso de Santa Coloma de Gramenet
María José Olivé (1944-2017), geògrafa urbana i activista militant, va publicar durant els anys setanta diversos articles que recullen de manera exhaustiva i precisa la greu situació de Santa Coloma de Gramenet, un dels ...
Observed effects of near-surface relative humidity on rainfall microphysics during the LIAISE field campaign
This study, conducted in the framework of the LIAISE field campaign in NE Spain (May–September 2021), investigates how near-surface relative humidity influences early-stage rainfall characteristics when precipitation is ...
Ingegneria geotecnica in aree portuali: primi risultati dal progetto GREENLIFE4SEAS
La nota presenta i primi risultati del progetto europeo GREENLIFE4SEAS, finanziato dal programma LIFE, volto a valorizzare, attraverso processi termo-chemo-meccanici, due scarti marini ad alto impatto: i sedimenti dragati ...
Curare le fragilità : Verso un'architettura terapeutica
Aquest escrit editorial es planteja des de la hipòtesi que l'arquitectura contemporània hauria de reorientar-se cap a una "arquitectura de la cura", que es responsabilitzi no només de preservar l'entorn construït, sinó de ...
Evolución de la modelización numérica bidimensional del flujo en lámina libre a través del software Iber
Iber es una herramienta de simulación hidráulica bidimensional surgida desde la academia para dar solución a problemas de ingeniería hidráulica y ambiental. Desde su nacimiento en 2010 se ha convertido en un software ...
Pinocchio GePpeTto
La aspiración prometeica de los humanos por infundir vida a sustancias inanimadas refleja nuestro anhelo no satisfecho de emular a los dioses capaces de insuflarla en barro o madera o masa de maíz. La literatura ilustra ...
Problem-agnostic speech embeddings for multi-speaker text-to-speech with SampleRNN
Text-to-speech (TTS) acoustic models map linguistic features into an acoustic representation out of which an audible waveform is generated. The latest and most natural TTS systems build a direct mapping between linguistic ...
Territorio y arquitectura vernácula en las Islas Baleares. La obra de Neus García Iñesta, 1978-1993
Neus García Iñesta (1945) planteja una arquitectura que s'arrela al territori ia la seva cultura. La seva visió holística pauta tota la seva trajectòria, part de l'estudi sistemàtic del lloc, de la seva cultura i de la ...
Stability and spatial uniformity of different gases and gas mixtures in a closed cabinet type gas stunning system
In the European Union (EU), the slaughter of rabbits is regulated by Council Regulation (EC) No 1099/2009 concerning the protection of animals at the time of killing. According to this regulation and the 2020 scientific ...
