Cigarette butts are one of the most common types of litter all around the world. This waste when disposed of in the environment pose a major threat to living organisms and ecosystem health. Cigarette butts are mainly made of cellulose acetate (2.45 s...

New space technologies as Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and the MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) have been used to display several phenological cycles of ecosystems around the world. The aim of this study was t...

In the case of a computational example, a few aspects of the twin pipe geometry are presented, which have an effect on heat losses through double heating ducts. Proper positioning of the supply and return ducts in common thermal insulation can signif...

In this work, the analysis of a CD-CD converter type Boost is presented. This converter works in Discontinuous Conduction Mode; In addition, the design of its control loops is performed, using an Average Current Mode control. The Boost converter is p...

Stage, which is still difficult for researchers is extraction of the lipids, especially the cell disruption stage prior to the extraction process. Strength of cell walls of microalgae makes lipids difficult to access. The aim of the experiment was to...

In the world, floods are at the forefront of natural hazard. Urban areas are often at risk of flooding and just as often unprepared for management. Flood modeling is nowadays a very important topic in the theme of water, it inevitably involves the nu...

In this work we propose a mathematical model to determine the potentially propagation areas of the Mediterranean Quercus disease commonly referred to as “seca” in specific areas of Extremadura. To do it we will use optimal computational geometry algo...

Precision agriculture can be defined as the science of using technology to improve the agricultural production. It is advisable for farmers to use a decision support system; in fact, real–time monitoring of climatic conditions is the only way to know...

In mining, the decrease in the quality of grades has led to further deepening of the existing deposits, determining the existence of a greater quantity of waste, increasing the probability of contact between the waste and the environment, communities...

Small-scale hydropower plants (SHP), and in particular the micro-hydropower plants (MHP) and pico-hydropower plants (PHP), are considering as an alternative energy resource based on the hydroelectric potential available in urban water cycle because o...
