Towards an Optimized Method of Olive Tree Crown Volume Measurement
(MDPI, 2015)Accurate crown characterization of large isolated olive trees is vital for adjusting spray doses in three-dimensional crop agriculture. Among the many methodologies available, laser sensors have proved to be the most ... -
Training program on sign language: social inclusion through Virtual Reality in ISENSE project
(IEEE, 2023)Structured hand gestures that incorporate visual motions and signs are used in sign language. Sign language is a valuable means of daily communication for individuals who are deaf or have speech impairments, but it is ... -
Tuberculosis and Other Airborne Microbes in Occupational Health and Safety
(MDPI, 2020)Airborne pathogens and non-malignant infectious diseases such as tuberculosis are highly contagious and can have severe effects on healthcare workers. The symptoms of these diseases take time to manifest, which can prevent ... -
Understanding why women don’t choose engineering degrees
(Springer Nature, 2019)Despite the continuous efforts of governments and universities to avoid the underrepresentation of women entering engineering degrees, the trend has not reverted, and this is a general fact all over the world. This fact ... -
Universal Kinetic Model to Simulate Two-Step Biodiesel Production from Vegetable Oil
(MDPI, 2020)To date, to simulate biodiesel production, kinetic models from different authors have been provided, each one usually applied to the use of a specific vegetable oil and experimental conditions. Models, which may include ... -
Universal multifractal description of an hourly rainfall time series from a location in southern Spain
(Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2008)El formalismo multifractal de turbulencia ha sido usado para llevar a cabo el análisis de la estructura temporal, para escalas desde 1 hora hasta casi 6 meses, de la serie de datos de lluvia horaria registrada durante ... -
Upscaling the Use of Mixed Recycled Aggregates in Non-Structural Low Cement Concrete
(MDPI, 2016)This research aims to produce non-structural concrete with mixed recycled aggregates (MRA) in upscaled applications with low-cement content. Four slabs were executed with concrete made with different ratios of coarse MRA ... -
Use of Carbonated Water as Kneading in Mortars Made with Recycled Aggregates
(MDPI, 2022)The increased concern about climate change is revolutionising the building materials sector, making sustainability and environmental friendliness increasingly important. This study evaluates the feasibility of incorporating ... -
Use of Nanomaterials in the Stabilization of Expansive Soils into a Road Real-Scale Application
(MDPI, 2020)Stabilization is a traditional strategy used to improve soils with the main objective of ensuring that this base is compliant with the technical specifications required for the subsequent development of different ... -
Using eye-tracking into decision makers evaluation in evolutionary interactive UA-FLP algorithms
(Springer Nature, 2020)Unequal area facility layout problem is an important issue in the design of industrial plants, as well as other fields such as hospitals or schools, among others. While participating in an interactive designing process, ... -
Vibration analysis of the fruit detachment process in late-season ‘Valencia’ orange with canopy shaker technology
(2019)The mechanical harvesting of juice oranges can be achieved by the application of forced vibration to the tree canopy to detach fruit. Among the available harvesting technologies, canopy shaker systems have the advantage ... -
Vibration Monitoring of the Mechanical Harvesting of Citrus to Improve Fruit Detachment Efficiency
(MDPI, 2019)The introduction of a mechanical harvesting process for oranges can contribute to enhancing farm profitability and reducing labour dependency. The objective of this work is to determine the spread of the vibration in citrus ... -
Wastes as Aggregates, Binders or Additions in Mortars: Selecting Their Role Based on Characterization
(MDPI, 2018)The production of waste has increased over the years and, lacking a recycle or recovery solution, it is forwarded to landfill. The incorporation of wastes in cement-based materials is a solution to reduce waste deposition. ... -
Wi-Fi and Satellite-Based Location Techniques for Intelligent Agricultural Machinery Controlled by a Human Operator
(MDPI, 2014)In the new agricultural scenarios, the interaction between autonomous tractors and a human operator is important when they jointly perform a task. Obtaining and exchanging accurate localization information between ...
