Experimental evidence for the quantum condensation of ultracold dipolar excitons

Alloing, Mathieu (Date of defense: 2014-05-28)

In this thesis, we report experimental evidence of a "gray" condensate of excitons, as predicted theoretically by M. Combescot et al. Most importantly, the condensate is characterized by the macroscopic population of dark ...

Experimental investigation of induced supersonic boundary layer transition

Bottini, Henny (Date of defense: 2014-03-28)

Turbulence onset within an initially laminar flow is one of the most common phenomenon in Fluid Mechanics, yet is an open field of research. This is due to the many and diverse causes that can trigger turbulence, which ...

Experimental Investigations on Market Behavior

Žakelj, Blaž (Date of defense: 2012-03-23)

This thesis is a collection of three essays on inflation expectations, forecasting uncertainty, and the role of uncertainty in sequential auctions, all using experimental approach. Chapter 1 studies how individuals forecast ...

Experimental models in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and effects of therapeutic strategies based on gut microbiota

Barberá Bellés, Aurora (Date of defense: 2023-04-19)

La malaltia de fetge gras no alcohòlic (EHGNA) i la seva forma progressiva, la esteatohepatitis no alcohòlica (EHNA), constitueixen avui dia, un important problema de salut pública. Actualment no existeixen teràpies aprovades ...

Experimental Models of Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis - Establishment, characterization and imaging of xenograft bone metastasis models -

Garcia López, Marta (Date of defense: 2013-03-18)

En païssos industrialitzats, el càncer de pròstata (CP) és la neoplasia més comunment diagnosticada en homes i la segona causa de mort relacionada amb càncer, donat que els nivells de mortalitat en aquesta població són ...

Experimental studies on organizational behavior

Angelovski, Andrej (Date of defense: 2014-07-24)

Una creciente literatura explora cómo las personas son afectadas por la organización, y también cómo las personas afectan a la organización con sus decisiones. Mi tesis contribuye a esta parte de la literatura investigando ...

Experimental study and numerical modelling of soil-roots hydro-mechanical interactions

Fraccica, Alessandro (Date of defense: 2019-12-09)

The thesis is aimed at characterising the multi-scale and hydro-mechanical behaviour of lightly compacted silty sand penetrated by a turf-grass (Cynodon Dactilon). The study will allow better assessing the impact of ...

Experimental study of feedback-induced dynamics in semiconductor lasers : from symbolic analysis to subwavelength position sensing

Aragoneses Aguado, Andrés (Date of defense: 2014-06-18)

The aim of this thesis is the study of the dynamics induced by optical feedback in semiconductor lasers. This study aims, on the one hand, to improve our knowledge of stocahstic complex systems, and on the other hand, to ...
