Les Aliances Públiques Privades han constituït una estratègia adoptada pels governs per compartir responsabilitat, controlar costos i augmentar l'eficiència a través de la implementació de mecanismes de competència. ...
On the effect of the Sun's gravity around the Earth-Moon L1 and L2 libration points
In this thesis we explored some aspects of the dynamics around the Earth-Moon L1 and L2 points in the context of two Restricted Four Body Problems: the Bicircular Problem (BCP) and the Quasi-bicircular Problem (QBCP). Both ...
On the emergence and sustainability of corruption: An experimental analysis
En este trabajo estudiamos diferentes dimensiones del fenómeno de la corrupción.Debido a la dificultad que conlleva estudiar la corrupción, hemos escogido abordar este tema utilizando principalmente la metodología experimental.
On the evaluation of mixing in heterogeneous porous media: from laboratory characterization to the design of engineered chaotic flows for practical application
(English) Groundwater is now under high stress levels and its quality and quantity arise as one of the most interesting and necessary topics our community should address. This doctoral thesis is focused on the quality of ...
On the evaluation of temporally extended experiences
La evaluación de las experiencias extendidas en el tiempo se puede hacer de muchas formas. El paradigma --hedometer' en economía sugiere que la evaluación global de la experiencia se puede explicar por las impresiones de ...
On the evolution of cancer genomes : Signatures of selection reveal cancer genes across multiple tumor types
Tumors are composed of fast-growing cells that become malignant under selection of biological functions needed for cancer development. In this thesis, I intend to uncover the basic evolutionary principles underlying cancer ...
On the exoticness of some new p-local compact groups
En 2003, Broto-Levi-Oliver van introduir el concepte de grup p-local finit, el qual és una generalització dels espais classificadors de grups finits p-completats. Més tard, els mateixos autors van introduir també el concepte ...
On the experimental and theoretical studies of ZnO precursors: towards Green Chemistry
Although an extensive number of investigators, during the arise of this printed materials technology, were devoted to make very interesting discoveries concerning the most used sol-gel precursor to thermally produce ZnO, ...
On the fault diagnosis of dynamic systems using set-based approaches
Model-based Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) is a major theoretical topic that is becoming increasingly to one of the most significant key features to increase safety and reliability of complex automatic control systems. ...
On the flexibility of the perception and cognition of broken harmonic expectations
La música està present en totes les cultures. Tot i tenir les mateixes habilitats auditives, la manera en la què experimentem la música depèn del context cultural, la música que escoltem en el dia a dia o si hem rebut ...
On the fractional Yamabe problem with isolated singularities and related issues
My research is based on non-local elliptic semilinear equations in conformal geometry. The fractional curvature is defined from the conformal fractional Laplacian and it is a non-local version of some of the classical local ...
On the fracture behavior of ductile polymer films : notch quality, essential work of fracture, J-integral, and crack tip opening displacement
Polymers have a wide range of applications. Their ability to be shaped into multiple forms makes it possible to obtain polymer films, which are highly used in industries such as food and pharmaceuticals. Characterization ...
On the growth of nearshore sand bars as instability processes of equilibrium beach states
La zona de rompents de les platges està governada er una gran quantitat de processos complexes altament no lineals i a diverses escales de longitud i de temps. Tot i això, algunes vegades s'hi poden trobar estructures ...
On the hyperbolic uniformization of Shimura curves with an Atkin-Lehner quotient of genus 0
The main goal of this thesis is to contribute to the explicit hyperbolic uniformization of Shimura curves. We will restrict to the case of curves attached to Eichler orders in rational quaternion algebras whose maximal ...
On the impact of public information in financial markets: an experimental approach
The debate on the “limits of transparency” of the central banks’ communication policy is the inspiration of the present thesis. Specifically, this thesis investigates whether it exists an optimal level of information ...
On the Importance of σ-/π-Hole Interactions in Chemistry and Biochemistry
Esta tesis doctoral se enmarca dentro del estudio de las interacciones no covalentes denominadas "no convencionales", también conocidas como interacciones σ-/π-hole. Su estructura está compuesta por un primer capítulo ...
On the influence of resources use and destruction on the evolution of cooperation
La explosiva introducción de la teoría de redes y los métodos estocásticos en el estudio de poblaciones finitas ha llevado a un nuevo nivel en el uso de la teoría de juegos evolutiva. La complejidad de los sistemas ...
On the intelligent management of sepsis in the intensive care unit
The management of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in a hospital has its own, very specific requirements that involve, amongst others, issues of risk-adjusted mortality and average length of stay; nurse turnover and communication ...
