Structural health monitoring of solar trackers using distributed fiber optic sensors
(SPIE, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject,
We demonstrate the application of a novel type of distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOSs) to dynamically monitor the effects of wind on solar tracker structures used in photovoltaic power stations. This DFOS is based on ...
Low-profile conformal UWB antenna for UAV applications
(IEEE, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
This article presents a new design of an ultra-wideband conformal antenna for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications. The antenna is a low-profile structure which is very suitable to diminish aerial vehicle drag problem. ...
Supercapacitors: electrical characteristics, modelling, applications and future trends
(IEEE, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Energy storage systems are playing an increasingly important role in a variety of applications,
such as electric vehicles or grid-connected systems. In this context, supercapacitors (SCs) are gaining
ground due to their ...
Locating a biorefinery in Northern Spain: decision making and economic consequences
(Elsevier, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Biofuels are emerging as a prominent renewable and sustainable energy sources in developed countries. In this sense, this paper presents a case study in which a biorefinery has to be sited in Northern Spain. Thus, the ...
Directions of directional, ordered directional and strengthened ordered directional increasingness of linear and ordered linear fusion operators
(IEEE, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject,
In this work we discuss the forms of monotonicity that have been recently introduced to relax the monotonicity condition in the definition of aggregation functions. We focus on directional, ordered directional and strengthened ...
Optical fiber lasers assisted by microdrilled optical fiber tapers
(Optical Society of America, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
In this Letter, we present an analysis of the backscattering generated in a microdrilled tapered fiber within a short-linear-cavity fiber laser. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a fiber cavity laser based on a ...
Distributed dynamic strain sensing via perfect periodic coherent codes and a polarization diversity receiver
(IEEE, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Rayleigh scattering-based dynamic strain sensing with high spatial resolution, fast update rate, and high sensitivity is highly desired for applications such as structural health monitoring and shape sensing. A key issue ...
Accumulating priority queues versus pure priority queues for managing patients in emergency departments
(Elsevier, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/article,
Improving the quality of healthcare in emergency departments (EDs) is at the forefront of many hospital managers’ efforts, as they strive to plan and implement better patient flow strategies. In this paper, a new approach ...
High-speed analysis of SMB2 file sharing traffic without TCP stream reconstruction
(IEEE, 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject,
This paper presents a file sharing traffic analysis methodology for Server Message Block (SMB), a common protocol in the corporate environment. The design is focused on improving the traffic analysis rate that can be ...
Energy harvesting approaches in IoT scenarios with very low ambient energy
(European Association for the Development of Renewable Energy, Environment and Power Quality (EA4EPQ), 2019)
info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject,
The feasibility of multi-source energy harvesting in Internet of Things (IoT) scenarios with low and intermittent ambient energy is addressed. As a relevant case study, application to a smart cargo container system is ...
