Review and application of a settlement model for landfills (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Esteban-Altabella, J., McDougall, J., Colomer-Mendoza, F., Gallardo, A., & Edo-Alcon, N. (2017, October). Review and application of a settlement model for landfills. Presented at 16TH International Waste Management and Landfill Symposium Sardinia 2017

The geotechnical behavior and settlement in landfills has been changing for many years. This behavior in fact depends on many factors and, therefore, making forecasts is complicated due to the effect of biodegradation. In order to solve this issue, m...

Calibration model for detection of potential demodulating behaviour in biological media exposed to RF energy (2017)
Journal Article
See, C. H., Abd-Alhameed, R. A., Ghani, A., Ali, N. T., Excell, P. S., McEwan, N. J., & Balzano, Q. (2017). Calibration model for detection of potential demodulating behaviour in biological media exposed to RF energy. IET Science, Measurements and Technol

Potential demodulating ability in biological tissue exposed to radio-frequency (RF) signals intrinsically requires an unsymmetrical diode-like non-linear response in tissue samples. This may be investigated by observing possible generation of the sec... Read More about Calibration model for detection of potential demodulating behaviour in biological media exposed to RF energy.
