In the current context of the climate crisis, it is essential to design buildings that can cope with climate dynamics throughout their life cycle. It will ensure the development of sustainable and resilient building stock. Thus, this study’s primary objective has been to demonstrate that the current climatic zones for buildings in peninsular Spain do not represent the current climatic reality and are not adapted to climate change and the impact on the energy demand of buildings. For this reason, the climatic zones of 7967 peninsular cities have been updated and adapted to the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios by using the data measured in 77 meteorological reference stations. The results obtained have shown that in more than 80% of the cities, buildings are designed and constructed according to an obsolete climatic classification that does not take into account the current or future climatic reality, which will significantly affect the thermal performance of a building and highlights the need to review the climatic zoning in the country. The results obtained can be extrapolated to other regions. The methodology defined in this work can be used as a reference, thus making an essential scientific contribution in reflecting on current capacities and the possibilities of improving the building stock.

Objetivo: Determinar la incidencia de infección del sitio quirúrgico (ISQ) en los pacientes intervenidos de cirugía raquimedular y analizar los factores de riesgo intrínsecos y extrínsecos.Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo en el Servicio de Neurocirugía del Hospital Universitario de La Ribera (Valencia, España) que abarcó el periodo 2005-2015, donde se incluyeron los enfermos que habían sido intervenidos de cirugía de columna y que desarrollaron ISQ hasta un año después de la intervención.Resultados: De un total de 2301 cirugías vertebromedulares realizadas en 2090 pacientes, 20 presentaron ISQ en un tiempo medio de 37,7 días, lo que supone una incidencia acumulada de infección del 0,87%. Destacan factores como el tiempo quirúrgico mayor de 3 horas (65%), la cirugía invasiva vía posterior con material de osteosíntesis por lesión traumática (55%) y la fístula de líquido cefalorraquídeo (5%). En relación a la evolución del paciente, fueron variables estadísticamente significativas la obesidad y las infecciones coexistentes (p=0,043; OR=2,00).Conclusión: La obesidad o la presencia de infecciones coexistentes en el paciente sometido a cirugía raquimedular causa el doble de probabilidad de exitus por ISQ.

The need for new energy sources and the problems associated with waste in the agroforestry industry are an opportunity for the recovery of this waste. For the use of this agricultural waste as energy, different pretreatments, such as torrefaction, can be carried out. Torrefaction is a thermochemical treatment involving energetic densification of biomass at temperatures ranging from 200 to 300 °C under an inert and anaerobic environment. This study developed a numerical model to evaluate the effect of temperature and residence time of torrefaction on biomass from olive tree waste to determine optimum operative conditions for the process. Four temperatures and four residence times, in the operation range of the process, were tested to determine the weight loss and the higher heating values (HHVs) of the torrefied sample. From these data, a numerical model was developed to infer the complete behavior of the process in the temperature range between 200 and 300 °C and in the residence time range of a few minutes to 2 h. The HHV of the torrefied sample increased at a temperature between 200 and 275 °C. However, from 275 to 300 °C, there was an HHV decrease. The effect of the residence time depended on the torrefaction temperature. At low temperatures, there were no statistically significant differences, although an increase of HHV was detected under 120 min. However, at 250 °C this effect was reversed, and statistically significant differences were not observed between 30 and 120 min. Overall, the increase of temperature in the torrefaction process reduces the residence time needed to achieve the maximum HHV. As a result, the optimum conditions of torrefaction for this biomass were, approximately, 275 °C and 30 min of residence time. This reaction yielded an optimum 5830 cal/g HHV.

In the framework of an elliptic partial differential equation (PDE), certain boundary conditions and a set of points to approximate in a Lipschitz domain and arbitrary dimension, we use radial basis function (RBF) techniques for the construction and characterization of discrete PDE splines. We also show convergence and derive error estimates.

The objective of this work is to fill graphics of surfaces with hole-meeting shape conditions, i.e., we want to determine values of a surface inside a hole -where it is not defined- by means of its values outside the hole -where it is properly defined- in such a way that the final reconstructed surface be fair and smooth enough. The procedure considered to get this aim is based on a one-dimensional hole-filling problem, leading to a kind of “wireframe” surface. We develop the theoretical aspects of the problem and we show some graphical examples to illustrate the proposed method.

Urban surfaces receive waste deposits from natural and human sources, which create a negative visual impact and are identified as potentially significant contributors to water and air pollution. Local councils are usually responsible for the sweep of roads and footpaths to keep the environment clean and free of litter. Quality controls are useful in order to check whether the services are being executed according to the quantity, quality and performance standards that are provided. In this sense, several factors might affect the efficiency of the management of cleaning and waste collection services; however, only a few contributions are available in the literature on the various aspects associated with the level of street cleanliness. In this paper, the suitability of a Cleanliness Index has been checked, for the case of Granada (South of Spain), in order to contribute to the proper management of public expenditure, improving the quality and cost of an essential service for any municipality. Results have concluded that the city exhibits a good level of cleanliness, although the standard of cleaning varied from one area of the city to another. The Cleaning Index fits well to the general situation of the different districts of Granada and thus, it could be considered a useful tool for measuring the level of cleanliness of the streets of the city and for evaluating the organization of the cleaning service, such that an outsourced company would not be responsible for controlling all the cleaning services.

Biomass is an abundant renewable energy source; however, because of its characteristics it is not easily used in its original form. Pelletization technology represents mass and energy densification that provides easier biomass fuel handling and feeding. A privately owned pelletization industrial plant has been set up to produce pellets from agricultural and forestry lopping residues. The plant has produced so far pellets made of leaves of olive tree, a mixture of different parts of olive trees, almond trees, black poplar and holm oak trees. The characteristics of the resulting products have been analyzed in this research to foresee their behaviour in the combustion process. Parameters analyzed included particle and bulk density, moisture content, crushing resistance or hardness, number of particles of pellets per unit volume, size (including diameter, length and ratio of both values), percentage of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and hydrogen, additives and ash content, and finally heating value. Relationships between various parameters and a comparison with guidelines established by some European norms have been also investigated in order to determine possible restrictions on the use of the pellets. Results have shown that the use of different types of raw materials from agricultural and forestry lopping residues results in different physical and chemical properties of the pellets defining their possible application. Relationships between several parameters of pellets and a comparison with some European norms guidelines were also investigated and different guidelines fulfilment were detected; however no pellets tested fulfilled all parameters from guidelines established in the norms considered.

Let D⊂R2 be a polygonal domain, H be a subdomain of D and f∈C1(D¯−H∘). In this paper we propose a method to reconstruct f over the whole D¯ using a technique based on the minimization of an energy functional J. More precisely, we construct a new C1-Powell–Sabin spline function f∗ over D¯ that approximates f outside H, and fills the hole of f inside H . The resulting filling patch strongly depends on the values of two smoothing parameters involved in the functional J. We give a criteria to select optimum values of the parameters and we present some graphical and numerical examples.

In this paper, we present an interpolation method for curves from a data set by means of the optimization of the parameters of a quadratic functional in a space of parametric cubic spline functions. The existence and the uniqueness of this problem are shown. Moreover, a convergence result of the method is established in order to justify the method presented. The aforementioned functional involves some real non-negative parameters; the optimal parametric curve is obtained by the suitable optimization of these parameters. Finally, we analyze some numerical and graphical examples in order to show the efficiency of our method.

The leachate produced at a landfill adjoining an urban waste composting and recovery plant at Alhendín (Granada, Spain) was sampled for a period of more than 3 years from February 2003 until July 2006. The main pollutant parameters (COD, BOD5, solids, nitrogen, main anions and cations, pH, Eh and conductivity) were analysed with the aim of selecting the most effective treatment for the leachate. The results obtained showed high concentrations of different pollutants with COD and BOD5 values up to 74,133 mg/L and 39,000 mg/L respectively. Seasonal changes in leachate composition were mainly attributed to differences in rainfall, temperatures, and evaporation rates. Our study classified the Alhendín landfill leachate as a partially stabilized leachate because of: (i) its management strategies (storage at artificial ponds and recirculation); (ii) the coexistence in the landfill of active and closed cells with wastes of different ages and at different decomposition phases. The leachate quality data obtained was statistically evaluated using various statistical tools. A good correlation was found between many of the parameters analysed, some of which also showed good linear regressions. Principal component analysis allowed the reduction of most of the parameters analysed to four components: Component 1 (K+, Mg2 +, FTS, VDS, VTS, Na+ and Cl−), component 2 (BOD5), component 3 (TDS, TS, FDS and conductivity) and component 4 (pH, FSS, Eh and VSS). The results obtained are valuable for the selection of the best leachate treatment option. A combination of a physicochemical treatment and a fixed film biological system is recommended for this leachate.

Landfills in Venezuela have serious problems regarding their location, design and operation. In fact, basic waste disposal is one of the main weaknesses of the municipal waste management in this country. The Venezuelan Ministry of Environment and Renewable Resources has studied and identified the negative impacts of operating landfills, but no program has been implemented to determine the cause–effect relation of these impacts or to design strategies to counteract with the serious environmental and health risks generated. This paper describes how EVIAVE methodology can be successfully used for landfill diagnosis, and shows how this type of landfill diagnosis was applied in Venezuela. For our research study, we carried out both a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the environmental problems generated by 22 landfills in Venezuela. Our study was based on the following environmental indexes: Landfill Environment, Environmental Risk, Environmental Value, and Probability of Contamination. For the purposes of our study, it was first necessary to adapt EVIAVE to the legal system and social context in Venezuela. The results obtained confirmed the applicability of this methodology to Venezuelan landfills. EVIAVE was found to be an effective planning tool that provided crucial information for the development of action plans, which would improve landfill operation, and help make decisions pertaining to their closure, sealing and eventual recovery.
