Photocatalytic Recycled Mortars: Circular Economy as a Solution for Decontamination
(MDPI, 2020)
The circular economy is an economic model of production and consumption that involves reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling materials after their service life. The use of waste as secondary raw materials is one ...
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 ...
Recommendations for the Management of Construction and Demolition Waste in Treatment Plants
(MDPI, 2018)
Construction and demolition waste consists approximately of one third waste generated
in the European Union. The recycling of this stream waste will provide ecological and sustainable
benefits. Recycled aggregates from ...
Modelling Runoff and Sediment Loads in a Developing Coastal Watershed of the US-Mexico Border
(MDPI, 2019)
Urbanization can increase sheet, rill, gully, and channel erosion. We quantified the sediment budget of the Los Laureles Canyon watershed (LLCW), which is a mixed rural-urbanizing catchment in Northwestern Mexico, using ...
Effect of Attitudinal, Situational and Demographic Factors on Annoyance Due to Environmental Vibration and Noise from Construction of a Light Rapid Transit System
(MDPI, 2016)
The aim of this paper is to determine what non-exposure factors influence the relationship
between vibration and noise exposure from the construction of a Light Rapid Transit (LRT) system
and the annoyance of nearby ...
Development of Drift-Reducing Spouts For Vineyard Pneumatic Sprayers: Measurement of Droplet Size Spectra Generated and Their Classification
(MDPI, 2020)
Pneumatic spraying is especially sensitive to spray drift due to the production of small droplets that can be easily blown away from the treated field by the wind. Two prototypes of environmentally friendly pneumatic spouts ...
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 ...
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 ...
Improvement of Bearing Capacity in Recycled Aggregates Suitable for Use as Unbound Road Sub-Base
(MDPI, 2015)
Recycled concrete aggregates and mixed recycled aggregates are specified as types of
aggregates with lower densities, higher water absorption capacities, and lower mechanical strength
than natural aggregates. In this ...
Olive Cultivation, its Impact on Soil Erosion and its Progression into Yield Impacts in Southern Spain in the Past as a Key to a Future of Increasing Climate Uncertainty
(MDPI, 2014)
This article is intended as a review of the current situation regarding the impact
of olive cultivation in Southern Spain (Andalusia) on soil degradation processes and its
progression into yield impacts, due to diminishing ...
