    Endovascular coiling and its influence on intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics by image-based modeling 

    Morales, Hernán G. (Date of defense: 2012-09-28)

    Nowadays, most popular therapies for cerebral aneurysms are clipping and coiling. Nonetheless, it is not easy to elucidate which therapeutic option is the most suitable and reliable for a patient-specific aneurysm. To face ...

    Endpoint estimates via extrapolation theory 

    Domingo Salazar, Carlos (Date of defense: 2016-04-07)

    In this thesis, we study different variants of Rubio de Francia’s extrapolation that allow us to obtain estimates near L1. This theory is subsequently applied to deduce enpoint boundedness for the Bochner-Riesz operator ...

    Endurance races effects in non-elite runners by clinical biomarkers and bioimpedance measurements 

    Roca Rodríguez, Emma (Date of defense: 2019-12-16)

    Participation in marathons and ultra-endurance races is growing every day, but it is worrisome that these types of races are becoming mass events, where many runners are not sufficiently prepared. For example, in the 2017 ...
