Paviments hidràulics i ceràmica aplicada a l'arquitectura de Canet (II)

Si a la revista anterior ens dedicàvem als grans conjunts de Canet, ara tornarem la vista cap el terra i parets de les cases de Canet, admirarem els mosaics i ceràmiques disperses per tot el poble. Aqui citarem nomñés uns exemples, però són molts més els edificis de Canet que atresoren al seu interior paviments i arrambadors. Alguns són edificis catalogats (com la Casa Serra pujades o can Puxan), d'altres, edificacions que, darrera una façana del segle XVIII o principis del XIX, es van modernitzar als períodes modernista o noucentist

La fiesta en el Canet Modernista: patrocinio e influencia de la familia Montaner

Resumen:En el Canet modernista se observa un intento de recuperar tradiciones perdidas y mantener aquellas que pueden desaparecer. Es importante el papel que desempeña la nueva burguesía industrial y los grandes propietarios agrícolas, entre los que destaca la familia Montaner. Ramon de Montaner era uno de los dueños de la editorial barcelonesa Montaner y Simon y tío del arquitecto Lluís Domènech i Montaner. Además su hija Julia estaba casada con el diseñador Ricard de Campmany, padres del pintor Ramon de Capmany. En conjunto, todos estos nombres marcaron la calidad estética y la brillantez de las fiestas populares en el Canet del cambio de siglo.Resum:La festa en el Canet modernista: mecenatge i influència de la família MontanerAl Canet modernista s’observa un intent de recuperació de tradicions perdudes i mantenir les que tendeixen a desaparèixer. És important el paper de la nova burgesia industrial i dels grans propietaris agrícoles, entre els quals destaca la família Montaner. Ramon de Montaner va ser un dels amos de l’editorial barcelonina Montaner i Simon i oncle de l’arquitecte Lluís Domènech i Montaner.

En conjunt, tots aquest noms donaren qualitat estètica i riquesa a les festes populars de Canet en el canvi de segle.Abstract :The festive Canet in the Modernista period: sponsorship and influence of the Montaner familyIn Modernism Canet is regarded as an attempt to regain the lost traditions and prevent the other ones from disappearing. The new industrial bourgeoisie as well as the landowners also played a very important role in their preservation. Montaner family stood out among all of them. Ramon Montaner, uncle of the architect Lluís Domenench i Montaner, was one of the owners of the Barcelona publishing company Montaner & Simon. In addition, his daughter Julia got married to the designer Ricard de Campmany, they both become the parents of the painter Ramon Capmany. All of these names marked the esthetic quality and the brilliance of the popular celebration in Canet at the change of the century

Diego Masana i Majó. Un artista modernista entre Barcelona i l’Argentina

Diego Masana va ser un escultor decorador estretament lligat a Barcelona; al 1890 es té constància de la sevaprimera obra exposada al públic, mentre que l’última participació en el panorama artístic català que es coneixfou l’any 1910. En aquests anys va treballar al costat d’un dels grans arquitectes modernistes: Lluís Domènechi Montaner, en edifi cis emblemàtics com el Palau de la Música o el Castell de Santa Florentina. El 1911 esva traslladar a l’Argentina, a la ciutat de Rosario. En ambdues ciutats desenvolupà una carrera amb certsparal·lelismes, però mentre a Barcelona fou un artista gairebé desconegut, a Rosario donà nom a un dels granscarrers de la ciutat.Paraules clau: art català / Modernisme / escultura

An assessment of the real-world driving gaseous emissions from a Euro 6 light-duty diesel vehicle using a portable emissions measurement system (PEMS)

[EN] Recent investigations demonstrated that real-world emissions usually exceed the levels achieved in the laboratory based type approval processes. By means of on-board emissions measurements, it has been shown that nitrogen oxides emitted by diesel engines substantially exceed the limit imposed by the Euro 6 regulation. Thus, with the aim of complementing the worldwide harmonized light vehicles test cycle, the real driving emissions cycle will be introduced after 1 September 2017 to regulate the vehicle emissions in real-world driving situations. This paper presents on-board gaseous emissions "measurements from a Euro 6 light-duty diesel vehicle in a real-world driving route using a portable emissions measurement system. The test route characteristics follow the requirements imposed by the RDE regulation. The analysis of the raw emissions results suggests that the greatest amount of nitrogen oxides and nitrogen dioxide are emitted during the urban section of the test route, confirming that lower speeds with more accelerations and decelerations lead to higher nitrogen oxides emissions levels than constant high speeds. Moreover, the comparison of the two calculation methods proposed by the real driving emissions regulation has revealed emissions rates differences ranging from 10% to 45% depending on the pollutant emission and the trip section considered (urban or total). Thus, the nitrogen oxides emissions conformity factor slightly varies from one method to the other.The author J.

Impact of injection settings on gaseous emissions and particle size distribution in the dual-mode dual-fuel concept

This is the author's version of a work that was accepted for publication in International Journal of Engine Research. Changes resulting from the publishing process, such as peer review, editing, corrections, structural formatting, and other quality control mechanisms may not be reflected in this document. Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication. A definitive version was subsequently published as https://doi.org/10.1177/1468087419844413.[EN] Reactivity controlled compression ignition concept has been highlighted among the low temperature combustion strategies. However, this combustion strategy presents some problems related to high levels of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions at low load and high-pressure rise rate at high load. Therefore, to diminish these limitations, the dual-mode dual-fuel concept has been presented as an excellent alternative. This concept uses two fuels of different reactivity and switches from a dual-fuel fully premixed strategy (based on the reactivity controlled compression ignition concept) during low load to a diffusive nature during high load operation. However, the success of dual-mode dual-fuel concept depends to a large extent on the low reactivity/high reactivity fuel ratio and the injection settings. In this study, parametric variations of injection pressure and injection timing were experimentally performed to analyze the effect over each combustion process that encompasses the dual-mode dual-fuel concept and its consequent impact on gaseous and particles emissions, including an analysis of particle size distribution. The experimental results confirm how the use of an adequate injection strategy is indispensable to obtain low exhaust emission and a balance between the different pollutants. In the fully premixed reactivity controlled compression ignition strategy, the particles concentrations were dominated by nucleation mode; however, the increase in injection pressure and the advance of the diesel main injection timing provided a simultaneous reduction of nitrogen oxide and solid particles (accumulation mode). During the highly premixed reactivity controlled compression ignition strategy, the accumulation-mode particles increased, and their concentrations were higher when the diesel main injection timing advanced and injection pressure decreased, as well as there was a slight increase in nitrogen oxide emissions. Finally, in the dual-fuel diffusion strategy, the concentrations of accumulation-mode particles were higher and there was a considerable increase of these particles with the advance of the diesel main injection timing and the reduction of the injection pressure, while the nitrogen oxide emissions decreased.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This investigation has been funded by VOLVO Group Trucks Technology.

KTRL midi controller

[EN] We come to an era, where technology is more than important in music industry. First, music was written by humans. Then performed by humans, performed by musicians. Music spreads. It spreads via physicals, via vinyles, via CDs. Technologies were meant for recording studios : the compressors, the mixing desks, the microphones, the amplifiers, etc... Then, they spread on stage. Lights, visuals, performances. We come to a step, now, where electronic music shows are as important as music concerts. Music concerts have musicians playing their instruments and electronic music shows have DJs/Live performer mixing, playing their tunes with technology. These technologies can either be mixing console, turntables, controllers. But where is the performance in the way that the music is played by technology ? People go to a concert to see the musician performance. But when can we categorize an electronic music show as a performance ? With KTRL, midi controller for Digital Audio Workstation, our goal is to provide entertainment to an electronic music show, to give to the audience some visuals, to give them stuff to watch, to show them what the performer is actually doing, also in an original way, a different way than normal. The research we made, comes from different statement, different point of view we, the team, had concerning electronic music shows. 3/4 of the team are into electronic music, and after going to severals concerts during our lifetime, we came to a point where it is necessary to the audience to know what the performer is doing. What is more boring than watching someone with his face down on his setup without even looking to the audience ? Another point for KTRL, as electronic music shows are very common, more and more people are into producing their own music and performing it. Also they are trying to reach a step where they can be more original than the others. One of our goal is to give access to the people, tutorials that we are putting in shape on our website so they can build, craft the controller. Our open vision, shares interest in the DIY (aka Do It Yourself) community. Making the controller yourself, gives you the impression of building an instrument that you care about, also the pride of owning something you did.[ES] Estamos en una época en la que la tecnología es más que importante para la industria de la música. Antes dicha tecnología se utilizaba exclusivamente en los estudios de grabación, pero hoy en día podemos ver espectáculos en directo donde se produce música utilizando esta tecnología. ¿Realmente se puede ver cómo el músico moderno interactúa con la tecnología para producir su música? ¿Se puede considerar esto un verdadero espectáculo? Mediante este proyecto se pretende cambiar la forma en la que se interactúa con la tecnología para producir música. El objetivo es que el público pueda apreciar de una forma más visual lo que el músico moderno realiza en un escenario mediante la tecnología. Para ello hemos creado una controladora MIDI con sensores de proximidad manejados por una placa Arduino.Pastor Bermúdez, V. (2016). KTRL midi controller. http://hdl.handle.net/10251/77853.TFG

Fuel consumption and aftertreatment thermal management synergy in compression ignition engines at variable altitude and ambient temperature

This is the author's version of a work that was accepted for publication in International Journal of Engine Research. Changes resulting from the publishing process, such as peer review, editing, corrections, structural formatting,and other quality control mechanisms may not be reflected in this document. Changes may have been made to this work since it was submitted for publication. A definitive version was subsequently published as https://doi.org/10.1177/14680874211035015[EN] New regulations applied to the transportation sector are widening the operation range where the pollutant emissions are evaluated. Besides ambient temperature, the driving altitude is also considered to reduce the gap between regulated and real-life emissions. The altitude effect on the engine performance is usually overcome by acting on the turbocharger control. The traditional strategy assumes to keep (or even to increase) the boost pressure, that is, compressor pressure ratio increase, as the altitude is increased to offset the ambient density reduction, followed by the reduction of the exhaust gas recirculation to reach the targeted engine torque. However, this is done at the expense of an increase on fuel consumption and emissions. This work remarks experimentally the importance of a detailed understanding of the effects of the boost pressure and low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation (LP-EGR) settings when the engine runs low partial loads at different altitudes, accounting for extreme warm and cold ambient temperatures. The experimental results allow defining and justifying clear guidelines for an optimal engine calibration. Opposite to traditional strategies, a proper calibration of the boost pressure and LP-EGR enables reductions in specific fuel consumption along with the gas temperature increase at the exhaust aftertreatment system.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This research has been partially supported by the Ministry of Science and Innovation from the Government of Spain through project PID2020-114289RB-I00.

Association of Notch-1, osteopontin and stem-like cells in ENU-glioma malignant process

Notch-1 and osteopontin (OPN) mediate angiogenesis and glioma stem-like cell (GSLC) maintenance. However, the relationship between these molecules and GSLCs during the development of glioma is unknown. We investigate the expression of Notch-1, OPN and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) associated to the stemness markers nestin and CD133 in three stages of murine gliomas induced by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU). Notch-1 and OPN overexpress in the intermediate stage (II), which corresponds to the "angiogenesis switch". Nestin+ cells appear in all stages of ENU-glioma but CD133 only from stage II on. In stage III, neoplastic cells expressing nestin, CD133 and nestin/CD133 reside in spheroid-like aggregates (SAs) and in the neoangiogenic border. These aggregates show Notch-1 and VEGF+ surrounding cells and a significant size and density increase with respect to stage I (3.3 ± 1.5 to 22.4 ± 6.3 m2, n° = 0.3 ± 0.1 to 4.2 ± 0.9, from stage I to stage III, respectively). OPN expression increases in correlation to the glioma malignancy from 4.5 ± 1.8% (I) to 12.3 ± 1.2% of OPN+ cells (III). It predominates in astrocyte-like cells of the neoangiogenic border, displaying co-location with VEGF and CD133. The OPN immunopositivity distribution correlates with the CD133 distribution. In conclusion, OPN co-expressing with CD133 contributes to the identification of GSLCs in the neoangiogenic border, while Notch-1 is present around SAs in advanced stages. The ENU-glioma, mainly in stage II, is a useful tool for assessing new antitumour therapies against these molecules

Analysis of heavy-duty turbocharged diesel engine response under cold transient operation with a pre-turbo aftertreatment exhaust manifold configuration

Diesel particulate filters are the most useful technology to reduce particulate matter from the exhaust gas of internal combustion engines. Although these devices have suffered an intense development in terms of the management of filtration and regeneration, the effect of the system location on the engine performance is still a key issue that needs to be properly addressed. The present work is focused on a computational study regarding the effects of a pre-turbo aftertreatment placement under full and partial load transient operation at constant engine speed and low wall temperature along the exhaust line. The aim of the paper is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the engine response to define the guidelines of a control strategy that is able to get the standards of engine driveability during sudden accelerations under restraining thermal transient conditions governed by the aftertreatment thermal inertia. The proposed strategy overcomes the lack of temperature at the inlet of the turbine caused by the thermal transient by means of the boost and EGR control. It leads to a proper management of the power in the exhaust gas for the expansion in the turbine.This work was partially supported by the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia [grant number INNOVA 2011-3182].Bermúdez, V.; Serrano, J.; Piqueras, P.; García Afonso, Ó.
