Lumped-parameter models are used to estimate the global arterial properties by fitting the model to measured (aortic) pressure and flow. Different model configurations coexist, and it is still an open question as to which model optimally reflects the arter ...
In many countries and regions, traffic infrastructure projects suffer from low funding. The budget is tight for new infrastructure building and, thus, the importance of inspection, maintenance and assessment of the existing traffic infrastructure increases ...

Definitions are introduced to classify the regions of interest around PLC networks. An improvement to an existing technique for the reduction of emissions from PLC networks is proposed. Using numerical simulations, the technique is shown to reduce any one ...
In this contribution, the Bayesian framework for interpretation of evidence when applied to forensic speaker recognition is introduced. Different aspects of the use of voice as evidence in the court are addressed, as well as the use by the forensic expert ...
Anaerobic biodegradation of hydrocarbons, using a variety of terminal electron acceptors (TEAs), is increasingly being reported both in laboratory studies and in the field. Of all the petroleum hydrocarbons, benzene is considered the most problematical due ...
The EU project HOPE (Health Optimisation Protocol for Energy-efficient buildings) seeks to characterise those buildings that achieve good performance in both energy efficiency and occupant health and comfort. This project involved two stages of fieldwork: ...
Sustainable development is an issue that is gaining more and more relevance in all areas of society, though specifically in industry. In order to move towards the goal of sustainability, life cycle thinking is an essential element. For the implementation o ...
The increasing importance of sustainability in urban and architectural design is strongly questioning the actual logic of built environment dispersion. In this context, the regeneration of urban wastelands constitutes an important potential for urban densi ...
Ozonation of bromide-containing waters causes the formation of bromate which is considered to be potentially carcinogenic. An investigation in Switzerland on water works using ozone (85) has shown that the new drinking water standard of 10 mug/L for bromat ...
