    Dalla Corte, Gabriela (Date of defense: 2000-05-10)

    En esta tesis abordo detalladamente una novedosa institución que parece haberse apoderado de los ensayos y experimentos administrativos de las últimas décadas, al menos en las sociedades democráticas liberales: el Ombudsman. ...

    On a Family of Degree 4 Blaschke Products 

    Canela Sánchez, Jordi (Date of defense: 2015-03-18)

    This PhD thesis belongs to the area of discrete dynamical systems in the complex plane, i.e. the iteration of analytic functions in one complex variable. Given a rational map f from the Riemann sphere onto itself, we ...

    On Common Solutions to the Liar and the Sorites 

    Oms Sardans, Sergi (Date of defense: 2016-12-19)

    In this dissertation I examine some of the most relevant proposals of common solutions to the Liar and the Sorites paradoxes. In order to do that, I present first a definition of what a paradox is so that, with this at ...

    [spa] El proyecto de tesis está enfocado en el estudio de la evolución del Universo y más concretamente en la explicación del mecanismo que produce su actual expansión acelerada, y que probablemente sea el mismo que ha ...

    On Higher Arithmetic Intersection Theory 

    Feliu Trijueque, Elisenda (Date of defense: 2007-11-29)

    The results of this thesis contribute to the program of developing a higher arithmetic intersection theory. These results constitute chapters 3 and 5. Chapters 2 and 4 consist of the preliminary results needed for chapters ...

    On Logics and Semantics for Interpretability 

    Mikec, Luka (Date of defense: 2021-04-30)

    In the central part of this thesis we study for different interpretability logics the following aspects: completeness for modal semantics, decidability and algorithmic complexity. In particular, we will study two basic ...

    On low degree curves in C(2) 

    Sáez Cornellana, Meritxell (Date of defense: 2014-07-16)

    This thesis studies curves in the symmetric square of a curve, C(2). We characterize them, study their immersion in C(2) and deduce properties of the curve C from the existence of curves in C(2) of specific type. In addition, ...

    On modal expansions of t-norm based logics with rational constants 

    Vidal Wandelmer, Amanda (Date of defense: 2015-09-29)

    According to Zadeh, the term “fuzzy logic” has two different meanings: wide and narrow. In a narrow sense it is a logical system which aims a formalization of approximate reasoning, and so it can be considered an extension ...

    On Quasiperiodic Perturbations of Ordinary Differential Equations 

    Jorba i Monte, Àngel (Date of defense: 1991-10-11)

    In this work we study several topics concerning quasi-periodic time-dependent perturbations of ordinary differential equations. This kind of equations appear as models in many applied problems of Celestial Mechanics, and ...

    On Renewable Energy Innovation and its Knowledge Flows’ Sources and Nature 

    Ocampo-Corrales, Diego B. (Date of defense: 2020-09-30)

    El núcleo de la tesis consta de tres capítulos en los que se explora la naturaleza de los flujos de conocimiento que influyen en la innovación en energías renovables. En los tres capítulos se utiliza información de patentes ...

    On Sandwiched Surface Singularities and Complete Ideals 

    Fernández Sánchez, Jesús (Date of defense: 2004-11-01)

    The original interest in sandwiched singularities comes from a natural question posed by J. Nash in the early sixties to H. Hironaka: “Does a finite succession of Nash transformations or normalized Nash transformations ...

    On symplectic linearization of singular Lagrangian foliations 

    Miranda Galcerán, Eva (Date of defense: 2003-09-22)

    En esta tesis se estudia el problema de clasificación de estructuras simplécticas definidas en un entorno de una órbita singular compacta de un sistema completamente integrable sobre una variedad simpléctica para las cuales ...

    On the characterisation of the Galactic warp in the Gaia era 

    Abedi, Hoda (Date of defense: 2015-02-27)

    We explore the possibility of detecting and characterising the warp of the stellar disc of our Galaxy using synthetic Gaia data and two available proper motion catalogues namely UCAC4 and PPMXL. We develop a new kinematic ...

    On the diagnostic ability assessment of medical tests with right-censored data 

    Pérez Jaume, Sara (Date of defense: 2022-12-15)

    [eng] INTRODUCTION: A diagnostic test is a measurement taken from a subject with the aim of diagnosing a certain condition of interest, such as diseased patient or healthy individual. Typically, diagnostic tests are ...

    On the diagonals of a Rees algebra 

    Lavila Vidal, Olga (Date of defense: 1999-01-01)

    The aim of this work is to study the ring-theoretic properties of the diagonals of a Rees algebra, which from a geometric point of view are the homogenous coordinate rings of embeddings of blow-ups of projective varieties ...
