[EN] Ideal models provide the simplest way to reproduce internal combustion engine (ICE) cycles, but they usually do not represent with sufficient accuracy the actual behaviour of an ICE. A suitable alternative for research ...
A methodology for mapping urban land-use types integrating information from multiple data sources (high spatial resolution imagery, LiDAR data, and cadastral plots) is presented. A large set of complementary descriptive ...
A high precision geometric method for automated shoreline detection from Landsat TM and ETM+ imagery is presented. The methodology is based on the application of an algorithm that ensures accurate image geometric registration ...
[EN] Monitoring of dams is an essential surveying task to guarantee the safety of operation and understand the physical processes concerning their movement. Point cloud generating technologies are increasingly being utilized ...

Most of the design codes (ACI-318-2008 and Euro Code-2-2004) propose the moment magnifier method in order to take into account the second order effect to design slender reinforced concrete columns. The accuracy of this ...
[EN] When linearity can be assumed (linear response of heads to stresses), stream-aquifer flow exchange can be simulated as the drainage of a number of independent linear reservoirs. This conceptual model, which can be ...
The presence of shrub vegetation is very significant in Mediterranean ecosystems. However, the difficulty involved in shrub management and the lack of information about behavior of this vegetation means that these areas ...
[EN] This work describes the design and implementation of improvements to the monitoring system of an urban waste water network, resulting in more efficient management of the system. To achieve this objective, the latest ...
[EN] The Penman-Monteith equation for reference evapotranspiration (ET o) estimation cannot be applied in many situations, because climatic records are totally or partially not available or reliable. In these cases, empirical ...
