Nowadays, an increasing number of companies are using process improvement models as a mean to improve the quality of their processes and therefore the quality of their products and services. Although various improvement frameworks exist that provide organizations with aids…

El presente proyecto desarrolla un prototipo contador de personas, utilizando sensores piroeléctricos y ultrasónicos; que permiten determinar cuando una persona pasa por un punto fijo y a la vez, con la ayuda de un software específico, permite determinar la dirección…

Data mining is one of the most important analysis techniques to automatically extract knowledge from large amount of data. Nowadays, data mining is based on low-level specifications of the employed techniques typically bounded to a specific analysis platform. Therefore, data…

When stakeholders are geographically distributed communication presents new challenges for software engineering community. In order to improve communication between stakeholders, we have previously proposed to apply learning style models to characterise the way people interact. In this work we enhance…

During recent years, new software engineering paradigms like component-based software engineering and COTS-based development have emerged. Both paradigms are concerned with reuse and customisation of existing components. The use of COTS software has become more and more important in state-of-the-art…

Secondary organic aerosols (SOA) constitute a significant fraction of the atmospheric particulate matter. Theses particles are formed as a consequence of the oxidation reaction of certain organic gases that leads to the formation of low-volatility compounds. As for other pollutants,…

Treating industrial wastewater represents a serious problem nowadays; it requires a strong understanding of the particular systems and (in most of cases) ad hoc solutions. This work describes the use of Fenton’s reagent (reaction between H2O2 and Fe(II)) for removing…

Este número, el segundo del volumen 33, incluye doce artículos que, como en el número anterior, corresponden a áreas diferentes de la ingeniería. El medio ambiente, los materiales, sismicidad y la ingeniería de software son algunos de los temas que…

This paper presents analytical data from tests on bricks made from different clay/ash mixtures. The ashes used were obtained from a Hoffmann-type brick-making furnace equipped for coal and municipal solid waste co-firing. The bricks were physically and chemically characterised and…
