Analysis of the behavior of daily maximum rainfall within the department of Atlántico, Colombia
(MDPI AG, 2019)
In the Colombian Caribbean region, there are few studies that evaluated the behavior of one of the most commonly used variables in hydrological analyses: the maximum daily rainfall (Pmax-24h). In this study, multiannual ...
In silico drug repurposing for the identification of potential candidate molecules against arboviruses infection
(Elsevier B.V., 2020)
Arboviral diseases caused by dengue (DENV), Zika (ZIKV) and chikungunya (CHIKV) viruses represent a major public health problem worldwide, especially in tropical areas where millions of infections occur every year. The aim ...
Early characteristics and predictors of clinical severity in Autism Spectrum Disorder
(Universidad CES, 2019)
Significant efforts have been made to detect Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) during the first years of life, with positive effects on the prognosis of children. However, in countries such as Colombia early identification ...
An exact MINLP model for optimal location and sizing of DGs in distribution networks: A general algebraic modeling system approach
(Ain Shams University, 2019)
This paper addresses the classical problem of optimal location and sizing of distributed generators (DGs) in radial distribution networks by presenting a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model. To solve such ...
Economic Dispatch of BESS and renewable generators in DC microgrids using voltage-dependent load models
(MDPI AG, 2019)
This paper addresses the optimal dispatch problem for battery energy storage systems (BESSs) in direct current (DC) mode for an operational period of 24 h. The problem is represented by a nonlinear programming (NLP) model ...
Effect of a commercial air valve on the rapid filling of a single pipeline: A numerical and experimental analysis
(MDPI AG, 2019)
The filling process in water pipelines produces pressure surges caused by the compression of air pockets. In this sense, air valves should be appropriately designed to expel sufficient air to avoid pipeline failure. Recent ...
Influence of vehicular traffic on environmental noise spectrum in the tourist route of Santa Marta City
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
Transportation demands large amounts of fuel. In particular, road transport greatly contributes to both criteria air pollutants and noise within cities. The influence of vehicular traffic on the environmental noise spectrum ...
Experimental data on the production and characterization of biochars derived from coconut-shell wastes obtained from the Colombian Pacific Coast at low temperature pyrolysis
(Elsevier Inc., 2020)
Biochars are emerging eco-friendly products showing outstanding properties in areas such as carbon sequestration, soil amendment, bioremediation, biocomposites, and bioenergy. These interesting materials can be synthesized ...
Renewable energy production and demand dataset for the energy system of Colombia
(Elsevier Inc., 2020)
During the last decades, an increasing number of studies have focused their attention on the development of energy system models in order to facilitate sustainable energy planning strategies and understand the technical ...
The Kriging integration method applied to the boundary element analysis of Poisson problems
(2020)
A novel efficient technique is presented for the evaluation of domain integrals that appear in the boundary element method (BEM). Herein, the source term is approximated with the use of radial basis functions, as in the ...
