Members of the Food, Innovation & Engineering (FoodIE) Research Group at the URV have analysed the properties of black soldier fly protein fractions to boost their use in the food industry. They have demonstrated that this insect protein is comparable to whey protein for sunflower oil emulsification, while it offers certain advantages for lemon oil encapsulation
Researchers from URV, IRTA and UPC present a study that faces the challenge of agriculture to minimize the impact on the environment and analyses the models used to estimate nitrogen emissions. The results can be useful for Life Cycle Assessment practitioners
For the fourth consecutive year, the Universitat Rovira i Virgili appears in the QS World University Rankings by Subject. Chemistry and Chemical Engineering retain their places and two more have been added: Archaeology and Medicine, which until now had not featured on this list
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 platform led by the URV presents its projects for the region’s energy transition to the Vice-President of the Catalan Government, who promises it the highest level of government support
Researchers from Universitat Rovira i Virgili and Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona have combined experimental data with algorithms and enable an unprecedent predicting capability of the performance of organic solar cells
The research, involving URV researcher Vladimir Baulin, opens the door to the development of new bactericide materials as an alternative to antibiotics
The Learning and Research Resources Centre (CRAI) is only open for loans and the URV’s sporting activities have been postponed
The new measure agreed by the Catalan universities will not affect research activity
This has been established in the URV’s Contingency Plan for the 2020-21 academic year, which stipulates how all members of the URV community must act in order to prevent the spread of the disease on its campuses
All courses will be taught following a blended format and priority will be given to the face-to-face activities of first-year bachelor’s degrees
A study by the URV has tested the method by which neural networks infer the laws of physics by accurately listing all possible combinations
The combination of two techniques allows the in-depth analysis of the composition of insect dust which is increasingly sold as a dietary ingredient
An international team of researchers advocates the use of UV-C light in indoor spaces as a way to reduce the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 viruses. This solution meets the requirements of fast, scalable, and affordable implementation to fulfill the needs of disinfecting working spaces
URV researchers have developed a nanometric-scale theoretical model to create structures that kill bacteria by using elastic forces. The results of this study pave the way to creating new antibacterial materials
Large scale testing of the device is underway; in only 15 minutes and with just a single pinprick of blood it can determine with 100% reliability if a person has the disease or if they have developed antibodies to it
The move online and the opportunity to study part-time help students as they prepare for their professional careers
The aim is to develop a serological test within 3 months that takes only 15 minutes to differentiate between patients that have the virus and those who have already has it
Led by the research staff of the Department of Chemical Engineering, the research has been carried out with lemon essential oil, a product that is extensively used in the food industry
