A Comprehensive Approach to Water Diplomacy. Embracing decoloniality, intersectionality and multi-track analysis. Case-study: the GERD dispute between Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan
(2021)This paper provides an unorthodox approach to water diplomacy, concretely, in the GERD dispute framework. It analyses water diplomacy as a subject that goes beyond the state-centric, Western and ... -
A comprehensive sounding of the ionospheric HF radio link from Antarctica to Spain
(Radio Science, 2013. Vol.48, 1, Gener - Febrer, 2013-01)Since 2003, our group has been investigating the performance of different transmission techniques for low-power low-interference High Frequency (HF) ionospheric communication systems. Specifically, we ... -
A consistent thermodynamic molecular model of n-hydrofluoroolefins and blends for refrigeration applications
(International Journal of Refrigeration. Vol.113 (2020), p.145-155, 2020-05)This work presents a thermodynamic model that characterizes 4th-generation hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs)-based refrigerants with the molecular-based soft-SAFT equation of state (Blas and Vega, 1998) as well ... -
A custom approach for a flexible, real-time and reliable software defined utility
(Sensors. 2018, Vol. 18. 3, 2018-02)Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have enabled the evolution of traditional electric power distribution networks towards a new paradigm referred to as the smart grid. However, the different ... -
A dialogical self approach to the conceptualisation of teacher- inquirer identity
(European Journal of Psychology of Education, Vol. 35, 2020, 2020)Over the last thirty years, a substantial number of publications have attempted to conceptualise the ways in which teachers carry out inquiries in order to affect changes in educational practice. A ... -
