An innovative space-conditioning system is proposed and a life-cycle assessment (LCA) is presented.The layout is obtained starting from a ground-source heat pump system (GSHP) and includes upstream thermal storage (TS).A prototype of the system, implemented following this new approach, arrethe bush balm is currently in use for space heating and coo

Document image rectification problem is crucial in document analysis.Most of the current state-of-the-art methods addressing it are data-driven and rely on neural network approaches.However, despite satisfactory rectifications, such methods’ time performance is poor, making them unsuitable for mobile on-device acquisition.The present work co

The presence of antimicrobial resistance read more and virulence factors of 174 Escherichia coli strains isolated from healthy Portuguese Gallus gallus was evaluated.Resistance profiles were determined against 33 antimicrobials by microbroth dilution.Resistance was prevalent for tetracycline (70%) and ampicillin (63%).Extended-spectrum beta-lactama

The eco-evolutionary dynamics of dispersal are recognised as key in determining the responses of populations to environmental changes.Here, by developing a novel modelling approach, we show that predators are likely to have evolved to emigrate more often and become more selective over their destination patch when their prey species exhibit read mor

The integration of Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a read more growing reality in the building production sector.Through this integration, it is possible to improve the efficiency of management, maintenance, use and planning of conservation operations, providing an integrated and dynamic vision of th
