    Abstract The high impact of air quality on environmental and human health justifies the increasing research activity regarding its measurement, modelling, forecasting and anomaly detection. Raw data offered by sensors usually makes the mentioned time series disciplines difficult. This is why the application of techniques to improve time series processing is a challenge. In this work, Singular Spectral Analysis (SSA) is applied to air quality analysis from real recorded data as part of the Help Responder research project. Authors evaluate the benefits of working with SSA processed data instead of raw data for modelling and estimation of the resulting time series. However, what is more relevant is the proposal to detect indoor air quality anomalies based on the analysis of the time derivative SSA signal when the time derivative of the noisy original data is useless. A dual methodology, evaluating level and dynamics of the SSA signal variation, contributes to identifying risk situations derived from air quality degradation.

    Abstract The key issues in any fire emergency are recognising fire hotspots, locating the emergency intervention team (EI), following the evolution of the fire, and selecting the evacuation path. This leads to the study and development of HelpResponder, a solution capable of detecting the focus of interest in hostile spaces derived from fire due to high temperatures without visibility. A study is conducted to determine which model best predicts measured [Formula: see text] levels. The variables used are temperature, humidity, and air quality, obtained from sensors installed in a fire tower. The statistical methods applied, namely ARIMAX, KNN, SVM, and TBATS, allow the adjustment and modelling of the variables. Explanatory variables with temporal structure are incorporated into SVM, a new improvement proposal. Moreover, combining different models showed the best efficiency in forecasting. In fact, another contribution of our work lies in offering a small-scale prediction system that is specifically designed to save batteries. The system has been tested and validated in a hostile environment (building), simulating real emergency situations. The system has been tested and validated in several hostile environments, simulating real emergency situations. It can help firefighters respond faster in an emergency. This reduces the risks associated with the lack of information and improves the time for tactical operations, which could save lives.

    Abstract In this work we developed electrospun lignin/cellulose acetate fiber-bead nanostructures and explored their potential as structuring agents for vegetable oils to be used as eco-friendly lubricating oleogels. A variety of nanostructures were obtained from solutions containing 20 or 30 wt. % eucalyptus Kraft lignin (EKL) and cellulose acetate (CA) in variable weight ratios from 100:0 to 60:40 in an N,N-dimethylformamide/acetone mixture. The EKL/CA solutions were characterized in physicochemical terms from viscosity, surface tension and electrical conductivity measurements. Also, the electrospun nanostructures were characterized morphologically by scanning electron microscopy. Their morphology was found to be strongly dependent on the rheological properties of the biopolymer solution. Electrospun EKL/CA beaded nanofibers and well-developed uniform nanofiber mats allowed oleogels to be easily obtained by simply dispersing them in castor oil whilst nanoparticle clusters gave rise to unstable dispersions. The rheological properties of these gel-like dispersions can be tailored through the membrane concentration and/or EKL/CA ratio and depend to a large extent on the morphology of the electrospun nanostructures. The rheological and tribological properties of the oleogels were comparable to those previously reported for conventional and other bio-based lubricating greases. Overall, electrospun EKL/CA nanofibers allow easy, efficient structuring of vegetable oils to obtain oleogels holding potential for use as lubricants.

    Abstract The present work focuses on the development of lignin micro- and nano-structures obtained by means of electrohydrodynamic techniques aimed to be potentially applicable as thickening or structuring agents in vegetable oils. The micro- and nano-structures used were mainly composed of eucalyptus kraft lignin (EKL), which were doped to some extent with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). EKL/PVP solutions were prepared at different concentrations (10-40 wt.%) and EKL:PVP ratios (95:5-100:0) in

    Abstract Citrus latifolia is increasingly being cultivated in Mediterranean areas, where the need for precise irrigation implies a sound knowledge of the crop's water requirements, which is carried out by monitoring the tree water status in the plant-soil-atmosphere system. Two year-old lime trees (Citrus latifolia Tan. cv. Bearss) were cultivated in 45 L weighing pot-lysimeters filled with a clay-loam soil and equipped with soil water sensors for recording the real-time soil water status. Irrigation, drainage, pot weight, and agro-meteorological variables were also recorded in real-time. Plant water relations - stem (Ψₛₜₑₘ) and leaf (Ψₗₑₐf) water potentials, and leaf gas exchange - were periodically measured throughout the experiment. The automated irrigation protocol based on the volumetric soil water content was set to prevent tree water stress (with mean seasonal values of Ψₛₜₑₘ above -0.8 MPa and 7 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ and 80 mmol m⁻² s⁻¹, for net phtosynthesis and stomatal conductance, respectively). From the soil water pot balance, the computed fortnightly ET mean values throughout the growing season varied from 0.25 to 2.56 L plant⁻¹ day⁻¹ in winter and summer months, respectively. Maximum ET values occurred in July when evaporative demand was highest and lime fruits were in their most active growing phase. For day length, lime tree biomass changes were negligible, and the pot tree weight variations served for ET water balance validation (r²=0.92***). The contribution of this work is that it establishes a scalable weighing lysimeter prototype for determining the ET of lime trees grown in Mediterranean semi-arid conditions, using real-time soil water balance monitoring managed by an irrigation automation protocol. This approach could be replicated for precise ET measurements in other crops.

    Abstract Summer pruning (SP) in fruit trees can be performed with the aim of improving fruit quality by permitting better light penetration and carbon allocation, reducing the needs for winter pruning (WP). This paper deals with the effects of SP on the plant water status, vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality of two Prunus persica fruit trees of different ages: mature (peach trees) and young (nectarine trees). Pruning provided a total of 8 and 12 kg dry matter tree−1, being the SP contribution of 56% and 34%, of young and mature Prunus trees, respectively. Tree cover (obtained with zenithal image analysis) was significantly lower in the SP treatment, which resulted in an improvement in the plant water status of about 0.30 MPa with respect to WP trees in summer, leading to a reduction in water consumption during periods of highest evaporative demand (postharvest), equivalent to 10% of annual requirements under WP conditions. No significant differences were detected between WP and SP in the yield components studied. Our findings highlight the importance of considering the tree age/size as a key factor for the application of SP in trees grown under commercial conditions. Summer pruning can be considered a sensible cultural practice to mitigate the drought effects in early-maturing Prunus persica, maintaining yield with no extra costs.
