Multi-horizon Irradiation Forecasting for Mediterranean Locations Using Time Series Models
Abstract As fossil fuels combustion poses a real public health problem, PV and wind energy sources seem good alternatives. The main advantage is the renewable and inexhaustible aspects and the main disadvantages are related to their intermittencies. ...

Field testing and analysis of high speed rail vibrations
Abstract This paper outlines an experimental analysis of ground-borne vibration levels generated by high speed rail lines on various earthwork profiles (at-grade, embankment, cutting and overpass). It also serves to provide access to a dataset of...

Cloud-based Decision Making in Water Distribution Systems
Abstract The evolution of technologies of informatics and telecommunications has improved significantly the way water distribution systems can be managed. The use of quasi real-time information is becoming a desired standard in many water utilities. ...

The Retrofit of Existing Buildings Through the Exploitation of the Green Roofs – A Simulation Study
Abstract Green roofs have several environmental benefits, such as improving building energy efficiency. As the existing Italy building stock was built before any roof insulation was required, the existing buildings will benefit most by the green...

Rare earth elements in sedimentary phosphate deposits: Solution to the global REE crisis?
Abstract The critical role of rare earth elements (REEs), particularly heavy REEs (HREEs), in high-tech industries has created a surge in demand that is quickly outstripping known global supply and has triggered a worldwide scramble to discover new...

Biomass and fire dynamics in a temperate forest-grassland mosaic: Integrating multi-species herbivory, climate, and fire with the FireBGCv2/GrazeBGC system
Abstract Landscape fire succession models (LFSMs) predict spatially–explicit interactions between vegetation succession and disturbance, but these models have yet to fully integrate ungulate herbivory as a driver of their processes. We modified a...

A GIS-based extended fuzzy multi-criteria evaluation for landslide susceptibility mapping
Abstract Landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) is making increasing use of GIS-based spatial analysis in combination with multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) methods. We have developed a new multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method for LSM and...

Controlling Amine Mist Formation in CO2 Capture from Residual Catalytic Cracker (RCC) Flue Gas
Abstract Aker Solutions has developed a novel emission control system involving the combination of anti-mist design and an acid wash polishing step. This concept was tested at a 200kg/h CO2 Mobile Test Unit (MTU) operating on flue gas from a...

Analysis of bending wave transmission using beam tracing with advanced statistical energy analysis for periodic box-like structures affected by spatial filtering
Abstract For bending wave transmission across periodic box-like arrangements of plates, the effects of spatial filtering can be significant and this needs to be considered in the choice of prediction model. This paper investigates the errors that...
