Seasonal Climate Forecast Skill Assessment for the Management of Water Resources in a Run of River Hydropower System in the Poqueira River (Southern Spain)
(MDPI, 2020)
Run of river (RoR) hydropower systems, despite being one of the most cost-effective and environmentally benign energy technologies, have the disadvantage that production is not constant because it is subject to a high ...
Crop Diversification Effects on Soil Aggregation and Aggregate-Associated Carbon and Nitrogen in Short-Term Rainfed Olive Groves under Semiarid Mediterranean Conditions
(MDPI, 2022)
Soil particle aggregation and their associated carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content can provide valuable diagnostic indicators of changes in soil properties in response to the implementation of different agricultural ...
Detailed experimental analysis of the energy performance of a desiccant wheel activated at low temperature
(Elsevier, 2020)
Desiccant dehumidification systems, such as those using desiccant wheels (DW), are an interesting alternative toconventional dehumidification systems based on vapor-compression cycles. The aim of this work was to ...
A Low-Cost IoT-Based System to Monitor the Location of a Whole Herd
(MDPI, 2019)
