Abstract:
... A novel methodology for the optimal placement of sensors in watercourses is presented. The methodology aimed at finding the optimal locations for the placement of sensors to maximize the amount of information to monitor flow and velocity in watercourses. The methodology is based on the maximization of the Gram determinant of the sensor responses at each possible location or a combination of locati ...

Abstract:
... Several studies have characterized personal exposure to RF-EMF, which allows possible effects on health to be studied. All equipment has a detection limit, below which we obtain nondetects or censored data. This problem is a challenge for researchers as it makes the analysis of such data complex. We suggest reconsidering the statistical protocols of the nondetects analysis by comparing four differ ...

Abstract:
... From the end of February, the SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Spain has been following the footsteps of that in Italy very closely. We have analyzed the trends of incident cases, deaths, and intensive care unit admissions (ICU) in both countries before and after their respective national lockdowns using an interrupted time-series design. Data was analyzed with quasi-Poisson regression using an interaction ...

Abstract:
... A common method to measure radon exhalation rates relies on the accumulation chamber technique. Usually, this approach only considers one-dimensional gas transport within the soil that neglects lateral diffusion. However, this lateral transport could reduce the reliability of the method. In this work, several cylindrical-shaped accumulation chambers were built with different heights to test if the ...

Abstract:
... Spain occupies a very prominent position as a world producer of gypsum. Consequently, the industrial processes are more refined, as the production volumes of the factories are much higher than in other countries. Therefore, the environmental impacts of the production of one ton of gypsum are significantly lower. However, new cleaner alternatives must be studied to promote more sustainable construc ...

Abstract:
... The Ibiza and Formentera islands (Pityusic Islands, Balearic Archipelago, Spain) were colonised by continental Bell Beaker communities. These islands have no mineral resources for producing copper or tin-bronze objects locally, so their metals are a good indication of Western Mediterranean trade dynamics. During the first centuries of occupation (ca. 2100-1400 cal BC), they remained almost isolate ...

Conveyance, i.e., leaving one's appliance in the dwelling when moving out, shortens the expected length of ownership of an appliance and may therefore lead to the purchase of less energy-efficient appliances. Employing a demographically representative survey in Spain, this paper uses statistical-econometric analyses to explore the effects of conveyance on stated adoption of energy-efficient applia ...

Abstract:
... Bird remains are rare on archaeological sites yet often crucial to address a multitude of questions, both cultural and biological. In this paper we argue that oribatid mites living on bird feathers, scales and nests may prove useful to infer not only bird presence but occasionally their breeding at a given site in the absence of their remains. Although oribatids are for all purposes stationary, a ...

Abstract:
... Earthquake surface fault ruptures can show very complex geometries and involve different faults simultaneously. Consequently, modern fault-based probabilistic seismic hazard assessments (PSHA) need to account for such complexities in order to achieve more realistic modellings that treat fault systems as a whole and consider the occurrence of earthquake ruptures as aleatory uncertainties. We use SH ...
