    Maps related to the detection of abrupt changes in NDVI approximated phenological cycles of Donana marshes for 2007-2016

    <p>Monitoring of abrupt changes among annual vegetation cycles of consequent years in Protected Areas is valuable for the recognition of patterns, which represent the reaction of the biomes to external factors, such as changes in the meteorological conditions (e.g. the precipitation regime), human intervention or extreme events (e.g. fire). It is an indicator of the primary production of the area and other relevant functions of the ecosystem. The BFAST, Breaks For Additive Seasonal and Trend, approach can be used for monitoring changes, since it is globally applicable and able to analyze each pixel individually without the need to set thresholds for detecting changes within time series. Thus, BFAST is applied for the detection of abrupt trend changes in NDVI time series in the case of Doñana marshes, as a proxy to phenological metrics per pixel.</p> <p>BFAST outputs are used to generate: (i) a raster with the time of all detected abrupt changes per pixel (filename: “All_break_times_2007_to_2016.tif”), (ii) a raster with the total number of detected abrupt changes per pixel (filename: “Marshes_maximum_number_of_breaks_2007_to_2016.tif”), (iv) a raster with the time for which the biggest change is detected per pixel has the (filename: “Marshes_maximum_break_time_2007_to_2016.tif”).</p> <p>The above files are accompanied by INSPIRE metadata XML files.

    Cellular non-nonlinear network model of microbial fuel cell

    No full text
    A cellular non-linear network (CNN) is a uniform regular array of locally connected continuous-state machines, or nodes, which update their states simultaneously in discrete time. A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is an electro-chemical reactor using the metabolism of bacteria to drive an electrical current. In a CNN model of the MFC, each node takes a vector of states which represent geometrical characteristics of the cell, like the electrodes or impermeable borders, and quantify measurable properties like bacterial population, charges produced and hydrogen ions concentrations. The model allows the study of integral reaction of the MFC, including temporal outputs, to spatial disturbances of the bacterial population and supply of nutrients. The model can also be used to evaluate inhomogeneous con gurations of bacterial populations attached on the electrode bio lms.This work was funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No. 686585. https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020

    Towards implementation of cellular automata in Microbial Fuel Cells.

    No full text
    The Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) is a bio-electrochemical transducer converting waste products into electricity using microbial communities. Cellular Automaton (CA) is a uniform array of finite-state machines that update their states in discrete time depending on states of their closest neighbors by the same rule. Arrays of MFCs could, in principle, act as massive-parallel computing devices with local connectivity between elementary processors. We provide a theoretical design of such a parallel processor by implementing CA in MFCs. We have chosen Conway's Game of Life as the 'benchmark' CA because this is the most popular CA which also exhibits an enormously rich spectrum of patterns. Each cell of the Game of Life CA is realized using two MFCs. The MFCs are linked electrically and hydraulically. The model is verified via simulation of an electrical circuit demonstrating equivalent behaviours. The design is a first step towards future implementations of fully autonomous biological computing devices with massive parallelism. The energy independence of such devices counteracts their somewhat slow transitions-compared to silicon circuitry-between the different states during computation

    Modelling microbial fuel cells using Lattice Boltzmann methods

    No full text
    An accurate modelling of bio-electrochemical processes that govern Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) and mapping their behaviour according to several parameters will enhance the development of MFC technology and enable their successful implementation in well defined applications. The geometry of the electrodes is among key parameters determining efficiency of MFCs due to the formation of a biofilm of anodophilic bacteria on the anode electrode, which is a decisive factor for the functionality of the device. We simulate the bioelectrochemical processes in an MFC while taking into account the geometry of the electrodes. Namely, lattice Boltzmann methods are used to simulate the fluid dynamics and the advection-diffusion phenomena in the anode compartment. The model is verified on voltage and current outputs of a single MFC derived from laboratory experiments under continuous flow. Conclusions can be obtained from a parametric analysis of the model concerning the design of the geometry of the anode compartment, the positioning and microstructure of the anode electrode, in order to achieve more efficient overall performance of the system. An example of such a parametric analysis is presented here, taking into account the positioning of the electrode in the anode compartment
