(English) Atmospheric mineral dust is composed of a variety of mineral particles exhibiting distinct composition, shape, and size. The wide range of diameters exhibited by dust particles, spanning more than three orders ...
Basemaps are the main resource used in urban planning and in building and infrastructure asset management. These maps are used by citizens and by private and public stakeholders. Therefore, accurate, up-to-date geoinformation ...
Reactive transport modeling is an important tool for the analysis of coupled physical, chemical, and biological processes in Earth systems. Observed reactive transport in heterogeneous porous media shows a different behavior ...
In practical engineering applications involving extremely complex geometries, meshing typically constitutes a large portion of the overall design and analysis time. In the computational mechanics community, the ability to ...
Cities face problems influencing urban mobility, such as traffic growth, congestion, explosive population growth, urban sprawl. According to the literature, traffic, congestion, and urban development have an interrelationship ...
The energy sector has undergone drastic changes and critical revolutions in the last few decades. Renewable energy sources have grown significantly, now representing a sizeable share of the energy production mix. Wind ...
(English) Currently, the two most raw material consumer industries are civil engineering and the pulp and paper industry. Meanwhile, these sectors face severe criticism due to their environmental impact. Additionally, by ...
Anthropogenic pollution represents a major concern for aquatic ecosystem, which has been affected by a complex cocktail of heterogeneous compounds that may provoke significant toxic effects to the living organisms. Among ...
Traditional sampling technologies such as trawling but also novel ones as ROV surveying are oriented toward a high spatial coverage without repeating data collection at fixed seabed windows. The temporal repetition is often ...
Planktonic cnidarians are those species or their stages in the phylum Cnidaria that spent their life in the water column and therefore, are tightly linked to oceanographic dynamics and water mass structures, such as fronts ...
Vegetable Fiber Reinforced Cement Composite Materials (VFRCC) have emerged as a potential construction material, providing adequate load-bearing capacity and ductility for non-structural applications. VFRCC have good ...
This dissertation deals with four topics. The first three are in the same environment, the transmission paths. The fourth refers to the synthesis of subsystems and more specifically to two subsystems linked by any number ...
(English) In the current context of both energy and environmental needs, there has been an increase in activities related to extraction and injection of fluids in the underground. It is known that a possible consequence ...
In this research, the seismic response, the vulnerability and the expected damage in rein-forced concrete residential buildings, with irregular plants, are analyzed. This irregularity is mainly due to inbound and outbound ...
Groundwater withdrawals are growing in most developing countries, including Mongolia, where freshwater resources are limited and unevenly distributed, and most surface waters are frozen during winter. Groundwater represents ...
(English) During the lifetime of long-span bridges, the traffic conditions are affected by the surroundings and will typically vary and also unpredictably change. In this thesis, a prior site-specific traffic load spatial ...
The relationship between the railway network and the city system has been the subject of numerous studies in recent decades. The railway has assumed great importance as a key element of transport infrastructure for the ...
