(English) Thin targets, in form of foils, stripes or wires, are widely used in beam instrumentation to measure various beam parameters, such as intensity, position and size. All these monitors can differ in geometry and ...
(English) Atmospheric mineral dust is composed of a variety of mineral particles exhibiting distinct composition, shape, and size. The wide range of diameters exhibited by dust particles, spanning more than three orders ...
Cementitious materials are used to condition or stabilise waste and to build infrastructure in disposal sites. Moreover, they are envisaged to form part of engineered barrier systems as container, backfill or liner materials ...
(English) This thesis covers the development of large-scale numerical methods for the simulations of partial differential equations on arbitrarily complex geometries. The target application of this thesis is the structural ...
Los diferentes sistemas de representación utilizados en Arquitectura generan, modifican y/o confirman formas de lectura y de memoria en relación a los mecanismos de percepción y conocimiento que proponen. La representación ...
Els convertidors commutats de potència són solucions apropiades per subministrar energia a dispositius electrònics per la seva elevada eficiència i reduït cost. El seu ús extensiu en les últimes dècades ha motivat els ...
(Español) El presente trabajo se centra en el diseño y evaluación de mecanismos que permitan reducir los conflictos ocasionados por las instrucciones de transferencia de control (saltos) en arquitecturas segmentadas. Las ...
The objective of this thesis is the derivation and implementation of a unified Finite Element formulation for the solution of uid and solid mechanics, Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and coupled thermal problems. The ...
Rather than adapt human behavior to suit a life surrounded by computerized systems, is it possible to adapt the systems to suit humans? Mark Weiser called for this fundamental change to the design and engineering of computer ...
(English) Bamboo is a material of great importance in different civilizations of Asia and Latin America. Its use goes from the roots to the leaves, which are raw material to make edible products, furniture and construction ...
Universal Accessibility: On the need of an empathy-based architecture is a PhD thesis researching the paradigm of accessible architectural design. Starting from the very first understanding of accessibility in architecture, ...
El objeto de este estudio es explorar la dialéctica entre la universalidad y la adecuación presente en las obras de los arquitectos López Íñigo, Giráldez y Subías (LIGS). Comprobar cómo la abstracción que caracteriza sus ...
The grouped implementation of university facilities in a imbricated way with the city, contributes to the "urban" growth of the city that hosts it. "It would consist of a kind of urbanistic acupuncture technique by which ...
Intracellular transport plays an essential role in a wide variety of fundamental cellular processes required to maintain the internal regulation and organization of cells. Different types of cargos such as organelles, ...
This thesis first develops new methods for high-throughput and multi-color super-resolution microscopy (Chapters 2 and 3). Subsequently, I apply these methods to study the organization of motor proteins on the lysosome ...
(English) The 3 Body Problem (3BP) models the motion of three bodies interacting via Newtonian gravitation. It is called restricted when one body has zero mass and the other two, the primaries, have strictly positive masses. ...
Los dispositivos de almacenamiento de energía térmica son ampliamente usados en diversos sistemas térmicos caracterizados por un desfase temporal entre la producción de energia y su consumo, como es el caso de los sistemas ...
(English) The thesis presents various contributions to the field of speaker recognition. In the first part of the thesis, the focus is on unsupervised methods for speaker recognition. This includes a method that uses Deep ...
Nowadays, the human textual data constitutes a great proportion of the shared information resources such as World Wide Web (WWW). Social networks, news and learning resources as well as Knowledge Bases (KBs) are just the ...
Nowadays, especially with the upswing of neural networks, speech synthesis is almost totally data driven. The goal of this thesis is to provide methods for automatic and unsupervised learning from data for expressive speech ...
