The 2006 Orionid outburst imaged by all-sky CCD cameras from Spain: meteoroid spatial fluxes and orbital elements
(Oxford University Press, 2007)By using high-resolution low-scan-rate all-sky CCD cameras, the SPanish Meteor Network (SPMN) detected an outburst of Orionid meteors associated with comet 1P/Halley on 2006 October 20–21. This detection was made possible ... -
The 2011 October Draconids outburst – I. Orbital elements, meteoroid fluxes and 21P/Giacobini–Zinner delivered mass to Earth
(Oxford University Press, 2013)On 2011 October 8, the Earth crossed the dust trails left by comet 21P/Giacobini–Zinner during its 19th and 20th century perihelion approaches with the comet being close to perihelion. The geometric circumstances of that ... -
The 2011 October Draconids outburst – II. Meteoroid chemical abundances from fireball spectroscopy
(Oxford University Press, 2013)On October 8, 2011 the Earth crossed dust trails ejected from comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner in the late 19th and early 20th Century. This gave rise to an outburst in the activity of the October Draconid meteor shower, and ... -

(Wiley, 2022)Mathcad is a simple-to-use and intuitive mathematical software that helps students to minimize the mathematical difficulties involved in solving engineering problems. The design of nonisothermal plug flow reactors (PFR) ... -
A sustainable methanol-based solvent exchange method to produce nanocellulose-based ecofriendly lubricants
(Elsevier, 2021)A prospective methodology aimed to develop totally sustainable oleogels with potential application in lubrication is reported. Oleogels were prepared with cellulose nanofibrils from elm pulps in castor oil. Even at a ... -
AFM and SEM assessment of lubricating grease microstructures : influence of sample preparation protocol, frictional working conditions and composition
(Springer Verlag, 2016)The microstructure of lubricating greases greatly conditions their in-service performance. In that sense, optimal testing protocols are required in order to accomplish their correct morphological characterization. This ... -
Ageing Effects on a Softened Bitumen by the Addition of DSA (Dodecenyl Succinic Anhydride)
(MDPI, 2022-06)The softening of aged bitumen is necessary for a successful asphalt rejuvenation in road recycling operations. Thus, this study proposes a novel and successful approach by using Dodecenyl Succinic Anhydride (DSA), a ... -
Amorphous Al-Ti Powders Prepared by Mechanical Alloying and Consolidated by Electrical Resistance Sintering
(MDPI, 2019-10)A novel processing method for amorphous Al50Ti50 alloy, obtained by mechanical alloying and subsequently consolidated by electrical resistance sintering, has been investigated. The characterisation of the powders and the ... -
An Earth-grazing fireball from the Daytime ζ -Perseid shower observed over Spain on 2012 June 10
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2016)On 2012 June 10, an Earth-grazer meteor which lasted over 17 s with an absolute magnitude of -4.0 ± 0.5 was observed over Spain. This work focuses on the analysis of this rare event which is, to our knowledge, the faintest ... -
An energetical approach to study the structural degradation of traditional and biogenic lubricating greases
(Universidad de Huelva, 2022)En un contacto tribológico, los procesos de fricción conducen a efectos irreversibles asociados al desgaste, que son el resultado de un aporte de energía de fricción al un sistema tribológico. En general, se aplican ... -
Analisys of a superbolide from a domocloid observed over Spain on 2012 July 13
(Oxford University Press, 2013)A superbolide with an estimated absolute magnitude of−20±1was seen on 2012 July 13 over the centre and south of Spain. This extraordinary event, which was witnessed by numerous casual observers, was recorded in the ... -
Analysis of Moon impact flashes detected during the 2012 and 2013 Perseids
(European Southern Observatory, 2015)We present the results of our Moon impact flash detection campaigns performed around the maximum activity period of the Perseid meteor shower in 2012 and 2013. Just one flash produced by a Perseid meteoroid was detected ... -
