Chemistry has once again been ranked top in Spain and Food Science is in the top seven and still in the world’s top 100. A total of 54 subjects are analysed, grouped into five areas of knowledge
The programme seeks to motivate sixth-grade students to pursue scientific and technological studies, break down gender stereotypes and showcase women as role models, especially for girls
Using high-performance computation systems, a URV research team has simulated the flow of air produced by coughing and sneezing in unprecedented detail. The results give greater insight into the characteristics of the flow produced by breathing and the capacity of infectious aerosols to disperse in the environment and remain suspended, which spreads COVID-19 and other airborne diseases
The results of the study by a research team from the URV and the IISPV show a potential reduction of the current rate of reintubation from 9% to 1% by using machine learning tools. Data from a thousand intensive-care patients with respiratory difficulties has been processed and analysed to create this tool
The nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) present a promising contribution to fulfil the EU sustainable future targets. However, the construction industry that leads the development of nZEB is facing challenges to guarantee its performance. One study led by researchers from the URV in cooperation with TNO has created a diagnostic tool that uses minimal monitoring data to assess and guarantee nZEB performance
