Es tracta d'un extens informe-dictamen sobre les anomalies estructurals en un edifici. S'hi van aplicar diverses tècniques d'auscultació i d'anàlisi.
Meteotsunamis in the Western mediterranean: a regional analysis from high-frequency sea level observations
Ciutadella harbor, in Menorca (Balearic Islands), is a well-known hotspot for the occurrence of meteotsunamis, i.e., tsunami-like sea level oscillations generated by atmospheric disturbances. This phenomenon represents a ...
Ongoing study on a scaled steel framed structure in a shaking table: preliminary results on the relation between fundamental period variations and damage
The feasibility of the use of fundamental period variations in buildings as damage indicators is analysed by means of a scaled steel framed structure mounted on a lab shaking table. The structure is a five-floor rectangular ...
Scaling ground motion records by considering the inelastic response of soils
One of the main shortcomings of several seismic databases is the lack of ground motion records exhibiting high-intensity values. Consequently, when characterizing seismic risk, or in the design process of a civil infrastructure, ...
Machine learning investigation of marangoni convection in hybrid nanofluids with Darcy-Forchheimer
This research utilizes machine learning to investigate Marangoni convection in a hybrid nanofluid (MnZnFe2O4 +NiZnFe2 O4/H2 O) within a Darcy-Forchheimer porous framework. We conduct both qualitative and quantitative ...
An evapotranspiration evolution model as a function of meteorological variables: a CFD model approach
The study of meteorological variables and evapotranspiration in open spaces using the three spatial dimensions represents a technical challenge since the high computational resources required only enable the problem to be ...
La intervención del patrimonio moderno caribeño en la formación arquitectónica universitaria. experiencias docentes en Caracas y Barranquilla
La vigencia de lo moderno y su categoría de antiguo. El movimiento moderno ha legado, además de un enorme patrimonio ediicado, una concepción de la forma que todavía es objeto de debate para su aplicación en la práctica ...
Neural network-based leak localization in water distribution networks using the gravity center of pressure measurements
A novel methodology for leak diagnosis in urban water distribution systems (WDS) is proposed. Small leaks are simulated using a well-calibrated EPANET model of the WDS. Considering only the known topology of the WDS, and ...

Documentació del Workshop realitzat a la seu d'Adolfo Domínguez impartit en el marc de la Càtedra UPC I+AD en Calidad & Innovación Textil
New disclosures on expected credit loss: effects on Banking credit risk and its links with portfolio specialization
Our study analyzes the information content of provisions in the expected credit loss (ECL) model in four credit segments: corporates, SMEs, institutions and households of European banks. Using data from the Prudential ...
Future tempos: conversations on architecture across time and media
In the continuous effort to make architecture public, technology plays a fundamental role. While in pre-typographical times authors limited the publication of their work to autographed documents, with the appearance of the ...
Virtual nasal cavity populations for flow prediction with distributed graph convolutional neural networks
Nasal air resistance is a key indicator of respiratory health and is essential for understanding nasal physiology and functions. Accurately measuring this quantity, however, remains challenging both experimentally and ...

A method for track-independent railway vehicle characterization as ground-borne vibration sources based on blocked forces
In this article, a method to characterise rolling stock as sources of ground-borne noise and vibration is presented. The method is based on the blocked force approach, and it allows for a fully track-independent characterization ...
Assessing cybersecurity of Internet-facing medical IT systems in Germany& Spain using OSINT tools
Este artículo investiga las amenazas de ciberseguridad en sistemas de TI médicos (Tecnologías de la Información) expuestos a Internet. Con este fin, desarrollamos una metodología y construimos una cadena de procesamiento ...
Bionanocomposite films of nanocellulose with chitosan or alginate: Enhanced barrier properties and active packaging potential
In this study, two biopolymers—alginate and chitosan—were combined with nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) at varying concentrations (5–80%) to produce alginate-NFC and chitosan-NFC bionanocomposites. FTIR confirmed the good ...
Numerical analysis of the effect of heterogeneity on CO2 dissolution enhanced by gravity-driven convection
Dissolution trapping of CO2 in brine can mitigate the risk of supercritical CO2 leakage during long-term geological carbon sequestration (GCS). The dissolution of overlying supercritical CO2 into brine increases the density ...
Four issues on the goal and scope definition of a BIM-Based LCA study for existing buildings
Life Cycle Assessment is a standardised method for assessing the environmental impacts of products and services. With the European standard EN 15643 and the related EN 15978 on the environmental sustainability of buildings, ...
A solution to the tension of burning on neutron stars and nuclear physics
When neutron stars accrete matter from a companion star, this matter forms a disk around them and eventually falls on their surface. Here, the fuel can ignite into bright flashes called Type I bursts. Theoretical calculations ...
