Publication Open Access Energía sostenible: sin malos humos(Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa, 2019) Samanes Pascual, Javier; Pascual Miqueleiz, Julio María; Berrueta Irigoyen, Alberto; Araiz Vega, Miguel; Catalán Ros, Leyre; Aranguren Garacochea, Patricia; Arricibita de Andrés, David; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Ingeniaritza¿Puede España ser sostenible energéticamente? Si alguna vez te has planteado esta pregunta, o quieres saber en qué gastamos la energía y de dónde podría ser obtenida, aquí encontrarás respuestas. Nuestros recursos renovables son inmensos, pero también lo es nuestro consumo. Este libro no solo se centra en analizar la situación actual y las posibilidades que las energías renovables tienen en nuestro país, sino que, presentando de forma clara los datos sobre nuestro gasto energético, permite a cada lector identificar sus mayores consumos, de tal forma que pueda considerar cómo reducirlos. Energía sostenible. Sin malos humos es la adaptación al caso español, actualizando los datos, del libro publicado hace una década por David MacKay en el Reino Unido. La sostenibilidad es hoy en día una preocupación creciente en la sociedad. Pero a menudo este interés se ve contaminado por cifras enormes que resultan muy complicadas de comprender. Además, todos hemos oído hablar en algún momento sobre pequeños gestos al alcance de nuestra mano que podrían permitir un cambio hacia un modelo sostenible. Nada más lejos de la realidad, pequeñas acciones solo permiten pequeños cambios, y el cambio de modelo energético al que nos enfrentamos requiere grandes acciones. Para deshacernos de todo este ruido, en este libro se presentan los números de forma clara y sencilla, utilizando unidades a nuestro alcance y que son comprensibles por todas las personas. Esto permite identificar de una forma mucho más personal los consumos energéticos de nuestro día a día. A lo largo de la primera parte del libro se van construyendo dos columnas: una de color rojo, que representa la agregación de consumos, y otra de color verde, que representa la capacidad de generación. Estas columnas ofrecen una comparación muy visual de la infraestructura renovable que sería necesaria para mantener nuestro ritmo de consumo energético actual. Además, utiliza números «gordos» obtenidos de la experiencia del día a día. Por ejemplo, para calcular la capacidad de generación eólica se parte de una velocidad de viento estimada a partir de la velocidad típica de un ciclista urbano. Toda esta información se encuentra en la primera parte del libro, en los capítulos del 1 al 18. Sin embargo, este libro no se centra únicamente en el análisis de la situación actual, sino que da un paso más y propone alternativas al modelo energético actual con el fin de alcanzar un modelo 100% renovable a medio plazo. Estas medidas incluyen un aumento importante en la potencia renovable instalada, un aumento en la eficiencia energética y algunos ligeros cambios en nuestro estilo de vida que permitan una reducción del consumo. Por supuesto, los tres frentes deben ser atacados al mismo tiempo. Estas propuestas se recogen en la segunda parte del libro, en los capítulos 19 a 32. Por último, este es un libro divulgativo al alcance de todas las personas, que busca transmitir toda la información de forma clara e intuitiva sin perderse en complicados cálculos. Pero si eres de los que les gustan las cuentas, al final del libro encontrarás un apartado en el que se explica de forma rigurosa muchos de los cálculos simples realizados en las primeras partes del libro. Estos apéndices técnicos forman la tercera parte del libro, son los apéndices de la A hasta la H.Publication Open Access Improvement in manufacturing welded products through multiple response surface methodology and data mining techniques(Springer, 2014) Escribano García, Rubén; Lostado Lorza, Rubén; Fernández Martínez, Roberto; Villanueva Roldán, Pedro; Mac Donald, Bryan J.; Ingeniería; IngeniaritzaPublication Embargo The Yeregui family (18th-twentieth century)(Springer, 2023) Aginaga García, Jokin; Claver Alba, Adrián; Pintor Borobia, Jesús María; Iriarte Goñi, Xabier; Ingeniería; IngeniaritzaSince their appearance in the Middle Ages, mechanical clocks and watches have been ingenious devices with complex assemblies of gears, cams and actuators, some of which have survived to the present day. Over the centuries, advances in mechanical engineering were applied to clockmaking, achieving clocks with ever-increasing precision. In the north of Navarre, the Yeregui family formed an outstanding family of mechanical clockmakers who, from the end of the eighteenth century until the middle of the twentieth century, designed, built, assembled and maintained tower clocks for five generations. Their first recorded clock was designed and assembled by José Francisco Yeregui Zabaleta for the village of Betelu and its deed dates from 15th April 1796. Subsequently, different members of the family manufactured numerous clocks for towns and cities in and around Navarre, including the old clock of Pamplona Town Hall, in operation for more than 150 years until 1991 and recently restored. This chapter briefly describes the most significant advances in mechanical clockmaking and delves into the history and work of the Yeregui clockmaking lineage.Publication Open Access Applications of sensing for disease detection(Springer, 2021) Castro, Ana Isabel de; Pérez Roncal, Claudia; Thomasson, J. Alex; Ehsani, Reza; López Maestresalas, Ainara; Yang, Chenghai; Jarén Ceballos, Carmen; Wang, Tianyi; Cribben, Curtis; Marín Ederra, Diana; Isakeit, Thomas; Urrestarazu Vidart, Jorge; López Molina, Carlos; Wang, Xiwei; Nichols, Robert L.; Santesteban García, Gonzaga; Arazuri Garín, Silvia; Peña, José Manuel; Agronomía, Biotecnología y Alimentación; Agronomia, Bioteknologia eta Elikadura; Estadística, Informática y Matemáticas; Estatistika, Informatika eta Matematika; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaThe potential loss of world crop production from the effect of pests, including weeds, animal pests, pathogens and viruses has been quantifed as around 40%. In addition to the economic threat, plant diseases could have disastrous consequences for the environment. Accurate and timely disease detection requires the use of rapid and reliable techniques capable of identifying infected plants and providing the tools required to implement precision agriculture strategies. The combination of suitable remote sensing (RS) data and advanced analysis algorithms makes it possible to develop prescription maps for precision disease control. This chapter shows some case studies on the use of remote sensing technology in some of the world’s major crops; namely cotton, avocado and grapevines. In these case studies, RS has been applied to detect disease caused by fungi using different acquisition platforms at different scales, such as leaf-level hyperspectral data and canopy-level remote imagery taken from satellites, manned airplanes or helicopter, and UAVs. The results proved that remote sensing is useful, effcient and effective for identifying cotton root rot zones in cotton felds, laurel wilt-infested avocado trees and escaaffected vines, which would allow farmers to optimize inputs and feld operations, resulting in reduced yield losses and increased profts.Publication Embargo The trend of heat-related mortality in Spain(Springer Nature, 2022) Carlosena Remírez, Laura; Carlosena Remírez, Alicia; Ingeniería; IngeniaritzaRapid urbanization, increasing and aging population combined with rising temperatures and extreme weather events present severe worldwide challenges for the near future. Spain is not an exception; characterized by one of the highest life expectancies in Europe and a very high urban density in its cities. Moreover, its diverse climate, ranging from arid to wet, hot, and cold regions, is affected by heatwaves during the summertime. Increases in temperatures require physiological adaptation and can be a health burden. People suffering from obesity, respiratory, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, or renal failures have greater difficulty adapting to heat events. Moreover, the Spanish built environment presents some overheating challenges, as half of its building stock was constructed before 1980. Green infrastructure enhances the urban climate and thermal comfort; however, the distribution of green areas in Spain is insufficient. This chapter presents the current trends of heat-related mortality in Spain, summarizing the most relevant findings in research. A total of 27 published papers on heat-related mortality are reviewed and discussed. Additionally, data on heatwaves and mortality due to excess heat are presented. Current mitigation techniques, such as implementing heathealth prevention plans and other solutions, are discussed to establish systems to cope with heatwaves and to improve the quality of life of the Spanish population. However, more research with standardized procedures is needed. Furthermore, we need to quantify the effectiveness of the already implemented strategies to determine the most suitable for every Spanish climate and city condition.Publication Open Access The importance of the assembly in thermoelectric generators(IntechOpen, 2018) Araiz Vega, Miguel; Catalán Ros, Leyre; Herrero Mola, Óscar; Pérez Artieda, Miren Gurutze; Rodríguez García, Antonio; Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; IngenieríaGenerally, in the optimization of thermoelectric generators, only the heat exchangers or the thermoelectric modules themselves are taken into account. However, the assembly of the generator as a whole is of vital importance since a bad contact or a thermal bridge can waste the performance of an optimal generator. In this sense, the present chapter analyzes experimentally the use of different interface materials to reduce the thermal contact resistance between the modules and the heat exchangers, the influence of the pressure distribution in the assembly as well as the effect of different insulating materials in order to reduce the thermal bridge between the exchangers. Thus, it has been demonstrated that a good assembly requires the implementation of thermal interface materials to ensure the microscopic contact between the heat exchangers and the modules, besides a uniform clamping pressure. Nevertheless, since this is normally achieved with screws, they represent a source of thermal bridges in conjunction with the small distance between the exchangers. In order to reduce heat losses due to thermal bridges, which can represent up to one-third of the incoming heat, an increment of the distance between the exchangers and the use of an insulator is recommended.Publication Open Access 3D procedures manual included in the app Arsim2care(2019) San Martín Rodríguez, Leticia; Soto Ruiz, María Nelia; Ballesteros Egüés, Tomás; Escalada Hernández, Paula; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Ingeniería; IngeniaritzaThis manual has been developed within the “ARsim2care: Augmented reality application in clinical simulation” Project funded by the European Union Erasmus + Program, and it is one of the project’s intellectual outputs. The Project has been developed working with three European higher education institutions, Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Coimbra (ESEnfC), Erasmushogeschool Brussel (EhB) and the Public University of Navarre (UPNA), and the Industrial Augmented Reality (iAR) company. The main aim of this project is to develop an Augmented Reality (AR) software that, combined with clinical simulation anatomical models, lets students work on technical skills for performing invasive clinical procedures, helping them visualise internal anatomical structures (App ARsim2care). The procedures compiled in this manual are included in the ARSim2Care App: endotracheal intubation, arterial blood sampling, intramuscular injection, nasogastric tube insertion and suctioning via a tracheostomy tube. This manual includes the detailed description of each procedure, as well as illustrating the key internal anatomical structures to be visualised by the student during their work. This information is not only presented in English but also in the project partners’ languages: Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch. The manual comes in a PDF electronic version with 3D content in an attempt to include 3D images to look at the figures interactively from the different anatomical views that have been included.
