e-LION: Data integration semantic model to enhance predictive analytics in e-Learning
(Elsevier, 2022-09-27)In the last years, Learning Management systems (LMSs) are acquiring great importance in online education, since they offer flexible integration platforms for organising a vast amount of learning resources, as well as for ... -
Effects of inertia on the time-averaged propulsive performance of a pitching and heaving foil
(Elsevier, 2023)The inertia may play an important role in the unsteady behavior of a flapping foil. Of particular relevance in forward flapping locomotion is how the foil inertia may affect its time-averaged propulsive performance. This ... -
Efficient self-propelled locomotion by an elastically supported rigid foil actuated by a torque
(Elsevier, 2022-11-19)A new theoretical model is presented for an aquatic vehicle self-propelled by a rigid foil undergoing pitching oscillations generated by a torque of small amplitude applied at an arbitrary pivot axis at which the foil is ... -
Evolutionary optimization of a motorcycle traction control system based on fuzzy logic.
(IEEE, 2014-11-13)Braking and traction control systems are fundamental vehicle safety equipments. The first ones prevent the wheels from locking, maintaining, when possible, the handling of the vehicle under emergency braking. While the ... -
Experimental characterization of the thermal performance of the Haines 2 solar cooker
(Elsevier, 2022-10-15)This work presents the most exhaustive experimental characterization of the thermal performance of the Haines 2 solar cooker available to date. Two Haines 2 solar cookers were tested side-by-side in Malaga, Spain, 36.7°N, ... -
Experimental determination of the standardised power of a solar funnel cooker for low sun elevations
(Elsevier, 2021-02-04)Over the past few decades, many efficient solar cooker designs have evolved. It is important to measure their performance and communicate this information to researchers, manufacturers and users around the world. Funnel ... -
