(English) Locomotion behavior is the output of the integrated clues by the nervous system along with proprioceptive regulation, which encompasses responses such as avoiding, feeding, and reproduction. Mechanosensation, the ...
Seven transmembrane (7-TM) G protein coupled receptors (GPCR) constitute the largest family of integral membrane proteins in eukaryotes with more than 1000 members and encoding more than 2% of the human genome. These ...
This study aims to investigate the underlying mechanisms which govern the development of dense defect networks in nanoscale crystal plasticity, either under contact and uniaxial loading conditions, with emphasis on the ...
As CMOS technology scales down, Process, Voltage, Temperature and Ageing (PVTA) variations have an increasing impact on the performance and power consumption of electronic devices. These issues may hold back the continuous ...
A e-Terapia surge no contexto da e-Saúde Mental como uma nova forma de conduzir sessões de terapia através da utilização das Tecnologias da Informação e da Comunicação (TIC). A e-Terapia tem como principal objectivo ...
Slope mass-wasting (SMW) due to shallow landslides or debris flows is one of the most important erosional processes in many mountainous regions together with surficial erosion by rainfall runoff. These erosive processes ...
Debris flows are very fast mass movements and are considered as one of the most hazardous phenomenain mountainous regions. Research on this field has strongly improved during the last decades. However,many open questions ...
This thesis explores the feasibility of using inductive links for a vehicle application where wiring an electronic control unit (ECU) to the sensors or detectors become unfeasible or unpractical. The selected application ...
Service Oriented Computing (SOC) has been established in the last recent years as a successful paradigm in Software Engineering. The systems built under this paradigm, known as Service Based System (SBS), are composed of ...
Water and sanitation improvements together with good hygiene (WaSH) have well-known positive impacts on human development and poverty alleviation. However, universal access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation remains ...
Planning and monitoring of projects are fundamental activities for its management. These tasks provide the required information to have a full picture of a given situation. They are an instrument that enables the control ...
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that currently does not have any known cure. Although there are treatments that enable patients to have a good quality of life over many years, adverse effects, from ...
This doctoral thesis presents the use of an opto-electronic system so-called OBR (Optical Backscattered Reflectometer) as an alternative of measurement in structural health monitoring (SHM) processes in concrete structures, ...
El objetivo de esta investigación fue obtener un modelo matemático de calibración que permita estimar cuantitativamente el patrón ventilatorio (PV), en términos de volumen, en un grupo de voluntarios sanos y pacientes con ...
La tesis "Monitorización del progreso en el aprendizaje" se desarrolla en el contexto de la educación y las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación. Si podemos aprovechar los beneficios que ofrecen las TIC para ...
En un contexto de I+D+i (investigación + desarrollo + innovación), diversos estudios apuntan a la existencia de una fuerte relación entre comunicación y resultados, mostrando que la colaboración y compartición de conocimiento ...
When humans observe a scene, they are able to perfectly distinguish the different parts composing it. Moreover, humans can easily reconstruct the spatial position of these parts and conceive a consistent structure. The ...
The Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem is widely acknowledged as one of the fundamental problem to solve in perception and robotics to produce actual mobile robotic agents. The problem itself is that of ...
The goal of the thesis is the effective computation of the geometric monodromy, equivalently the monodromy in the fundamental group, for families of compact connected Riemann surfaces (complex algebraic curves) of genus ...
The main object of study of this thesis is the development of artificial diffusion shock capturing techniques for continuous and discontinuous Galerkin (cG and dG) approximations of the convection-diffusion problem. Special ...
