Experimental research on the effects of water application on greenhouse gas emissions from beef cattle feedlots
(2014-04-30)
The effect of water application (e.g., through rainfall or sprinkler system) on emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), such as nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2), from pen surfaces of open-lot beef ...
The Balance Score Card for the Design and Validation Instrumens to Measure the Academic Teachers´s Achievement and Performance
(2012-07-04)
The evaluation of faculty work is critical for the university accreditation. Moreover, particularly sensitive to this related tendency of faculty work evaluation; it is necessary to go beyond the knowledge factor and ...
Numerical analysis of the straightening process of thin plate structures by elastic FEM based on the inherent strain method
(2012-12)
Welding distortion is practically an expected feature in shipbuilding, with a few exceptions; when thick plates are used, for example. Nowadays, the trend is to use thinner plates in order to reduce weight, aiming to reduce ...
Cuadro de mando integral para el diseño y validación de instrumentos para valorar el desempeño académico de docentes
(2009-12-22)
La valoración de la labor docente es un pilar de la acreditación universitaria. En un momento, particularmente sensible relacionado a esta tendencia global y a la imagen que emerge de las diferentes unidades académicas y ...
Characterization of Biochar from Rice Hulls and Wood Chips Produced in a Top-Lit Updraft Biomass Gasifier
(2016-01-01)
The objective of this study was to characterize biochar produced from rice hulls and wood chips in a top-lit updraft gasifier. Biochar from four airflows (8, 12, 16, or 20 L min-1) and two insulation conditions (not insulated ...
Remote sensing of temperature changes in Panama canal watershed from landsat
(2010-09)
La temperatura de superficie es un factor central, como variable de control en los estudios de cambio climático, balance de calor y modelos climáticos. El conocimiento de la temperatura de superficie es importante para ...
Development of a neural network model to predict distortion during the metal forming process by line heating
(2013-01)
In order to achieve automation of the plate forming process by line heating, it is necessary to know in advance the deformation to be obtained under specific heating conditions. Currently, different methods exist to predict ...
Introduction to the Application of Phase Change Materials under Tropical Climate of Panama
(2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC)2019 7th International Engineering, Sciences and Technology Conference (IESTEC), 2016-10-09)
Phase change materials (PCM) are materials with the ability to store a large amount of energy (latent heat) during their change from solid to a liquid phase. This takes place at a certain melting temperature. Amid the ...
Influential factors affecting inherent deformation during plate forming by line hating (Report 1) - the effect of plate size and edge effect
(2007-09)
The authors aim to propose an accurate and practical method to predict the deformation of actual plates of large size such as those used in shipbuilding. This method is to be used to improve the accuracy of an automatic ...
Effect of phase transformation onset temperature on residual stress in welded thin steel plates
(2008-12)
The effect of solid-state phase transformation at low temperature on residual stresses in butt welded ferritic thin steel plates has been examined employing a finite element (FE) code. An algorithm considering the solidstate ...
