Multiscale characterization of cardiac remodeling induced by intrauterine growth restriction, at organ, cellular and subcellular level
INTRODUCTION: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) due to placental insufficiency affects up to 7-10% of pregnancies and is a major cause of perinatal mortality and long term morbidity. IUGR results in low birth weight, ...
Multiscale clutch models for cell mechanics
Integrin-based cell adhesion is a key mechanism in fundamental biological processes such as cell migration and wound healing, and in diseases like osteoporosis and cancer. For example, during migration, cells form adhesion ...
Multiscale environmental-ichthyoplankton assemblages relationships in the Balearic Sea
Understanding the early life stages of fishes and the processes influencing their survival has been at the heart of the fisheries oceanography since the beginning of the 20th century. By focusing on spatial and temporal ...
Multiscale image analysis of calcium dynamics in cardiac myocytes
Cardiac myocytes constitute a unique physiological system. They are the muscle cells that build up heart tissue and provide the force to pump blood by synchronously contracting at every beat. This contraction is regulated ...
Multiscale information management for historic districts' energy retrofitting : a framework, a methodology, a model
European Historic Urban Districts are highly appreciated by their inhabitants and visitors and they can be considered as one of the most valuable collective achievements of the European culture. The preservation of our ...
Multiscale materials design of hard coatings for improved fracture resistance and thermal stability
Physical vapor deposited hard coatings comprised of cubic (c) transition metal (TM)-Al-N, and (TM)-Si-N are the current work horse materials for a large number of metal cutting and wear resistant applicatíons to light ...
Multiscale mechanical and microstrutural characterization of titanium and zirconium carbonitride hard coatings
The present dissertation is an in-depth investigation from the macro to atomic scale of industrial wear-resistant CVD hard coatings deposited on cemented carbides for cutting tool applications. Micro-compression tests at ...
Multiscale Modeling of Organic Electronic Biosensor Response
[eng] There have been significant advances in organic bioelectronic devices in recent years. These devices are capable of stimulating excitable cells and can generate data to facilitate disease diagnostics and monitoring. ...
Multiscale modelling of CO2 hydrogenation reactions on Ni-based catalysts
[eng] Global warming and climate change, mostly due to the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, are producing devastating effects. Among the different greenhouse gases, CO2 is one of the major ...
Multiscale multiphysics simulation in composite materials
The improvements in terms of computational power provides the capability to analyze with more detail the materials behavior. On one hand, going deeper in the materials to study an increasingly smaller dimension and capture ...
Multiscale numerical modelling of microstructured reinforced composites
Most of the existing materials around us can be considered composite materials, since they are composed by several phases or components at certain spatial scale. The physical and chemical properties of composites, as occurs ...
Multiscale soil moisture retrievals from microwave remote sensing observations
La humedad del suelo es la variable que regula los intercambios de agua, energía, y carbono entre la tierra y la atmósfera. Mediciones precisas de humedad son necesarias para una gestión sostenible de los recursos hídricos, ...
Multiscale subsurface characterization for geo-energy applications
(English) Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) holds immense promise for mitigating atmospheric CO2 emissions, making the sealing capacity of caprocks pivotal as storage scales up. Despite excellent sealing capacities observed ...
Multisectorial models applied to the environment: an analysis for catalonia
The objective of this doctoral thesis is to apply different multisectorial models available to analyse the impact that would had on the Catalan economy as a result of the introduction of policies designed to reduce emissions ...
Multisensitive polyurethane/polyurea nanocapsules for smart drug delivery
The Thesis is based on the development of a potentially-scalable methodology to prepare polyurethane/polyurea polymers to nanoencapsulate bioactive molecules. In the first part of the project, the design, optimization and ...
Multisensory integration and decision-making in Drosophila larvae
Numerous studies have shown that a wide range of behaviors from sensory processing to motor control involve near-optimal probabilistic inference. Most of these studies have focused on vertebrates, suggesting that the ability ...
Multisensory processing and agency in VR embodiment: Interactions through BCI and their therapeutic applications
Body ownership refers to the experience that this body is my body and is closely linked to consciousness. Multisensory integration processes play an important role in body ownership as shown in the rubber hand illusion, ...
Multistage scenario trees generation for renewable energy systems optimization
The presence of renewables in energy systems optimization have generated a high level of uncertainty in the data, which has led to a need for applying stochastic optimization to modelling problems with this characteristic. ...
A multisymplectic approach to gravitational theories
The theories of gravity are one of the most important topics in theoretical physics and mathematical physics nowadays. The classical formulation of gravity uses the Hilbert-Einstein Lagrangian, which is a singular ...
