A URV research project has built a three-dimensional model of the human upper respiratory tract in order to reproduce intense respiratory episodes and has studied how particle nuclei are dispersed indoors so as to determine how to prevent the transmission of diseases by air
This discovery, made by a research team led by the URV, modifies the previously held conception of primitive fish and demonstrates that they were able to inhabit areas other than the seabed
Researchers from the URV’s Department of Mechanical Engineering simulate the behaviour of particle nuclei derived from violent respiratory episodes and determine their dispersion time in closed spaces
The five projects focus on improving the lifestyle of the young elderly, overcoming social exclusion through education, creating polymers that help reduce waste production, studying the consequences of femicides on the victims’ sons and daughters and designing a nutritional support programme for people with dementia
The research team has validated a non-invasive experimental method that can be used to study how variations in anatomical systems affect their behaviour
Stanford University has updated its list of leading researchers with data from the year 2022. The URV ranks third in Spain and Catalonia in terms of the percentage of researchers among the permanent teaching and research staff
They have received the second National Graduation Award in Psychology and Mechanical Engineering, respectively
The first edition of the inter-university master’s degree in an emerging sector with a high demand for professionals has concluded
The research project of the Chemical Engineering Department of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili should help reduce the accumulation of plastics in the environment
