The technological challenge of non-stick pans: Teflon is still more effective than other coatings
A 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
An algorithm predicts the academic performance of distance education students
A 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
A study of two wastewater treatment plants in Cordoba equipped with different technology evaluates their odorous impact
The study shows that degrading wastewater pollution by means of mechanical aeration results in fewer odorous compounds than with intensive systems. Another study was carried out demonstrating that the use of biofilters filled with pruning and sludge compost are efficient systems to minimize the odorous impact of sewage treatment plants
Gèant Project | A network to interconnect European research
The Géant project provides European educational and research communities with the necessary connectivity to share, access and process large volumes of data
Technology is studied that could save 12% of the energy used in micro-hydropower irrigation systems
A study, performed in two Andalusian provinces, analyzed the potential of producing electricity by means of recovering hydraulic energy by implanting new technology based on pumps working as turbines
Big Data used to predict the future
University of Cordoba researchers are able to improve prediction systems by reducing the quantity of information
Technology is taking giant leaps and bounds, and with it, the information with which society operates daily. Nevertheless, the volume of data needs to be organized, analyzed and crossed to predict certain patterns. This is one of the main functions of what is known as ‘Big Data’, the 21st century crystal ball capable of predicting the response to a specific medical treatment, the workings of a smart building and even the behavior of the Sun based on certain variables.
