La borrasca Filomena: características y estimación de daños en el arbolado de Madrid mediante imágenes de satélite by María Eugenia Pérez González, José María García Alvarado, María del Pilar García Rodríguez

“…Esta nevada histórica se extendió en enero de 2021 sobre la mitad de la superficie de la Península Ibérica, aunque sus consecuencias se agravaron ante la persistencia de la situación anticiclónica posterior, que mantuvo temperaturas superficiales en Madrid entre -13 ºC y -2,5 ºC. El impacto en el arbolado, medido a través de imágenes de cambios en el NDVI, ha afectado al 11 % de la cobertura vegetal invernal del municipio, con daños muy notables en Pinus pinea, P. halepensis y Quercus Ilex, tanto del viario urbano, como de los múltiples parques, jardines y espacios forestales de la ciudad. …”

LOW-CEMENT DOSAGE REFRACTORY CONCRETE WITH LOW THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY by LUCIAN PAUNESCU, ENIKO VOLCEANOV, BOGDAN-VALENTIN PAUNESCU, IOANA MONICA SURUGIU

“… Super-aluminous refractory concrete (over 94 % Al2O3) with low dosage of cement (9 %) was made, its physical, thermal, and mechanical characteristics being considered suitable for the intermediate layer of a steel casting ladle: porosity of 29.31 %, the apparent density of 2.32 g·cm-3 thermal conductivity of 1.45 W·m-1·K-1, and compressive strength of 34.8 MPa (after heat treatment at 1500 ºC). The aim of the research was achieving a super-aluminous concrete with low-cement dosage, which would have acceptable thermal insulation properties, so that the heat loss through this refractory lining layer would be significantly reduced compared to the reference situation. …”
