Escuain i Poole, Lara Sofia (Date of defense: 2019-03-28)
The brain is a complex organ whose activity spans multiple scales, both spatial and temporal. The computational unit of the brain is thought to be the neurone. At the microscopic level, neurones communicate via action ...
AboliGhasemabadi, Mitra (Date of defense: 2019-07-10)
Waste treatment is an important aspect of an industry. Organic dyes are used in many fields, such as textile, paper or food. Residual dye compounds from these industries are one of the most critical sources of environmental ...
Mas Pujol, Sergi (Date of defense: 2023-05-12)
(English) Nowadays Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) have to handle and accommodate a continuously increasing traffic demand in a scenario that is expected to be more time-efficient and cost-efficient. Meeting the ...
Díaz Bayona, Pedro (Date of defense: 2018-04-06)
The PhD thesis "Desarrollo y aplicación de herramientas de valoración de riesgos tecnológicos en centrales nucleares españolas a partir de la técnica de Análisis Probabilista de Seguridad” results from the research projects ...
Riego Pérez, Albert (Date of defense: 2016-05-30)
The main objective of this work is to design the BEta-deLayEd Neutron detector (BELEN) detector for FAIR (Facility for Antiproton Ion Research). The purpose of this detector is the measurement of neutron emission probabilities ...
de Swart, Rinse Leendert (Date of defense: 2022-07-19)
A variety of morphodynamic patterns are typically present in the nearshore zone of sandy beaches that develop due to the interactions between waves, currents and the morphology. The most common are one or several nearshore ...
Hazami, Zahra (Date of defense: 2020-01-29)
In Synchrotron Light Source facilities with high energy and low emittance electron beams different techniques for improving the quality of the synchrotron light for the users are applied. With this aim ALBA, the Spanish ...
Rivas Reguera, José Carlos (Date of defense: 2016-01-01)
Magnetic fusion is a long term, worldwide research activity. Plans are increasingly ambitious, cooperation is progressing, and goals seem to be closer every year. ITER reactor is being built, and several conceptual studies ...
Baeza Pérez, Eduard (Date of defense: 2019-07-22)
A conclusion that can be drawn from the historical safety analyses developed for tokamaks fusion reactors is that some of the major risks involve incidents in the vacuum vessel. In order to evaluate plasma evolution and ...
Tripathi, Pragya (Date of defense: 2016-11-17)
In this thesis we employ dielectric spectroscopy (in different implementations) to study the dielectric properties of different materials ranging from completely disordered supercooled liquids to low-disorder solids with ...
Ortiz de Urbina Viade, Jordi (Date of defense: 2021-09-30)
The aim of this thesis is to study, by means of molecular dynamics simulations, the behaviour of two molecular models at different temperatures, approaching the glass transition. One of them mimics methanol molecules, ...
Wis Gil, Mariano (Date of defense: 2016-11-02)
Es ampliamente conocido que los modelos de error para sensores inerciales tienen dos componentes: El primero es un componente determinista que normalmente es calibrado por el fabricante en el firmware de la IMU. El segundo ...
Gao, Chen (Date of defense: 2022-05-18)
Due to the rich dynamic properties of the equilibria of the Restricted Three Body Problem (RTBP), the libration point orbits (LPOs) around them are ideal locations for scientific missions. Fortunately, these invariant ...
Mohammed, Ali Jasim (Date of defense: 2018-10-03)
The occurrence of heat waves and cold spells has received special attention in recent years due to their impact on human health, ecosystems and economy. In the context of climate change, there is evidence that extreme ...
Al-Nassar, Ali Raheem Tuaimah (Date of defense: 2018-09-25)
Precipitation is one of the most important, and also difficult to predict, elements of climate. This difficulty is associated with the transport of moisture through weather fronts that change their pathway, shape and ...
Vispa, Alessandro (Date of defense: 2016-11-24)
Disordered systems are ubiquitous in nature and their study is complicated and often leads to controversial results. In any case, the important role of such systems in science and technological applications should not be ...
Arriaga García, Jaime Alonso (Date of defense: 2018-07-30)
Shorelines around the world are rarely smooth and they can present undulations and cuspate shapes. On the one hand, human actions can cause shoreline perturbations via beach nourishments, which in turn perturb the wave ...
Garcia Sabaté, Anna (Date of defense: 2016-06-20)
Due to the increasing interest in space exploration, management of two-phase flows in the absence of gravity has become a key aspect in improving the efficiency of technological applications for space missions. Understanding ...
Zachariah, Manesh (Date of defense: 2016-11-17)
The study of crystalline materials has played a prominent role in solid state physics, whose basic theories were formulated for crystalline matter. However, disordered materials are more abundant in nature than crystalline ...
Melgosa Farrés, Marc (Date of defense: 2023-03-22)
(English) The Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management (ATFCM) aims at maintaining the forecast traffic demand below the estimated capacity in airports and airspace sectors. The purpose is to maintain the workload of the ...
