In this work we propose a novel and fully automated method for extracting the yarn geometrical features in woven composites so that direct parametrization of textile reinforcement is achieved ( e.g. , FE mesh). Thus, our aim not only to perform segmentation from tomographic images but rather provide complete descriptive modeling fabric. As such, approach improves on previous methods use voxel-w...

In this chapter the fundamental aspects involved in biological treatment processes applied for the removal of nitrogen from wastewaters are described. A comprehensive review of the literature is provided including kinetic, microbiological and biochemical aspects of nitrification, denitrification and anammox, as well as key operational parameters affecting the processes. This information is rele...

Leaks represent a very important hazard for the buildings and they can affect all sorts of building materials and specially wood due to its hygroscopic properties. Excessive moisture content can affect in a negative way building processes such as the installation of wooden floors or the use of wood as a structural material. Moisture meters can provide prompt and non-destructive determination of...
