Avocado Pruning Residues Used to Produce More Sustainable Food Packaging
Escrito por UCC+iA new study manages to produce a prototype of a more durable material that increases the biodegradability of food packaging, partially replacing its bioplastic with cellulose fibers extracted from the branches and leaves of the avocado tree
A model estimates the cultivable space at photovoltaic plants, to combine agricultural and photovoltaic production
Escrito por UCC+iA team at the University of Cordoba has developed a methodology that defines the cultivable space between two-axis photovoltaic modules, with the aim of promoting the conversion of existing plants over to agrivoltaic production
The technological challenge of non-stick pans: Teflon is still more effective than other coatings
Escrito por UCC+iA protocol designed by the University of Cordoba yields a simple and robust evaluation of the efficiency and durability of different commercial non-stick coatings used for food preparation
From Waste to Resource: A New and Sustainable Process Transforms Sewage Sludge into Activated Carbon
Escrito por UCC+iA joint project by two UCO research groups manages, in a simple and less resource-intensive way, to convert sewage sludge into activated carbon, a material with adsorbent properties used in a wide variety of industrial processes
Predictive models augur that at the end of the century fields will need more water than today
Escrito por UCC+iA team from the University of Cordoba has published evapotranspiration projections for Andalusia through 2100, using a machine learning model that allows this data to be obtained based on the air temperature
An algorithm predicts the academic performance of distance education students
Escrito por UCC+iA team from the University of Cordoba has designed a model, based on fuzzy logic, that predicts the performance of online education students, dividing them into 4 categories and helping professors give more personalized assistance to each student, tailored to their situations
