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 high level of research and the quality of its doctoral theses and the associated publications are the principal strengths recognised by the accreditation
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
Scientific experts from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili and the Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia teach classes in this master’s course, which is imparted entirely in English
The Universitat Rovira i Virgili researchers are part of a European consortium formed by 10 European partners located in seven countries. MobiDataLab project, launched on February 1st, 2021, has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme
Experts in climatology from the Universitat Rovira i Virgili, the State Meteorology Agency and the University of Bonn (Germany) make headway in identifying the most reliable methods that help to correct these biases
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 results and recommendations are based on the analysis of a pilot course on robotics-training for educators at URV’s Faculty of Educational Sciences and Psychology and other previous documented experiences. Holding this kind of training sessions during university studies and professional practice improve educators’ digital skills and knowledge, and also the quality and impact of classroom activities.
The research, involving URV researcher Vladimir Baulin, opens the door to the development of new bactericide materials as an alternative to antibiotics
