This paper presents a description of the regulations implemented in Colombia, from Law 1715 of 2014 until nowadays. The main decrees established for the development of projects with non-conventional sources of energy are ... -
An interferon gamma release assay specific for Histoplasma capsulatum to detect asymptomatic infected individuals: A proof of concept study
Histoplasmosis is the most common endemic mycosis in the Americas. Currently, there is no laboratory test capable to detect subclinical or latent infections by Histoplasma capsulatum (Hc), which might develop as severe ... -
Adsorbent materials obtained from palm waste and its potential use for contaminants removal from aqueous solutions
This work reports the production of an adsorbent material obtained by H3PO4 chemical activation of oil palm waste (fiber). The experiments were carried out to explore methylene blue uptake by this adsorbent. The influence ... -
An experimental study of combustion stability and emissions characteristics of a surface-stabilized combustion burner fueled with natural gas-syngas blends
The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of replacing natural gas with synthetic gases on the combustion stability and the combustion pollutants of a surface-stabilized combustion burner. We evaluated three ... -
A Kerr magnetometer setup in the kHz regime based on open-hardware architecture
A high sensitivity Kerr magnetometer (?I/I = 1/30) is presented, making use of open source hardware and software. By making time resolved measurements (up to 0.15 s/cycle) the signal quality has been greatly improved up ... -
A novel energy-efficient machine to compress inorganic residues in eco-bricks as a sustainable construction strategy for low-cost housing
UNESCO has set the Sustainable Developing Goals (SDG) to promote good practices in different areas. The construction industry has evolving to the use of alternative and eco-friendly materials, enhancing the sustainable ... -
A generalized theory for full microtremor horizontal-to-vertical [H/V(z, f)] spectral ratio interpretation in offshore and onshore environments
Advances in the field of seismic interferometry have provided a basic theoretical interpretation to the full spectrum of the microtremor horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio [H/V(f)]. The interpretation has been applied ... -
A tool for the interpretation of organizational myths: The case of innovation in the City of MedellÃn, Colombia
Considering that myths in organizations tell stories that allow recognizing a set of values, beliefs and ideologies that imprint individuality to the organization, the purpose of this study is to propose a conceptual tool ... -
A fuzzy ELECTRE structure methodology to assess big data maturity in healthcare SMEs
Advances in technology and an increase in the amount and complexity of data that are generated in healthcare have led to an indispensable revolution in this sector related to big data. Analytics of information based on ... -
Chemical, Mineralogical and Geotechnical Index Properties Characterization of Volcanic Ash Soils
Soils derived from volcanic ash are deposits formed from the weathering of the ejected material during volcanic activity. Volcanic ash is commonly known in geotechnical engineering as a difficult and unwanted material. The ... -
A Gamified Proposal for Software Risk Analysis in Agile Methodologies
In the conventional software development environment, risks are generally managed through a risk management framework; however, application of risk management in agile projects is limited despite its elaborate discussions ... -
A Comprehensive Picture of the Structures, Energies, and Bonding in [SO4(H2O)n]2-, n = 1-6
Two stochastic methods in conjunction with ab initio computations were used to explore the potential energy surfaces for the microsolvation of SO4 2- with up to six explicit water molecules. At least three water molecules ... -
