Chemical compounds derived from human activities continuously reach aquatic systems, where they are available to the organisms that inhabit them. Traditionally, environmental risk assessment has been based on the chemical ...
Image formation in the retina is the first stage in the visual process (optical stage), which is completed with photoreceptor stimulation and distribution of the generated signals (retinal stage), transmission to the visual ...
Desde hace años se han realizado múltiples investigaciones que tratan sobre la fiabilidad de la percepción de las distancias en profundidad y la influencia del entorno. En ocasiones, las pistas presentes en el espacio ...
Drape indicators reported by textile researchers from 1950 to 2013 are examined. A total of 36 indicators were identified that are described in detail as regards geometric principle and calculation in order to unify existing ...
Estudia la creación de nueva población en la España del Siglo XVIII y analiza tanto los diferentes modelos como las opciones teóricas planteadas. Basándose en un trabajo de mohino facilita documentación sobre algunos ...
In the present thesis 3 detailed studies were carried out that spring from 3 different diagnostic techniques that include bronoscopy, tuberculine bacillus infection diagnosis, and the control of oxygen therapy in chronic ...
We propose to develop, build and validate a new Concept of Bridge composed of Inflatable Beams, Lightweight, Modular and Portable (PVH-LMP) for surface transport vehicles, which uses pressurized air-filled beams made of ...
Nowadays, the growing demand for frequency-free bands for new emerging wireless technologies and fixed frequency allocation policies in the use of the radio spectrum have resulted in a saturation of the radio frequency ...
Urban tolls are nowadays one of the most promising instruments to regulate the entry of vehicles into cities, given the flexibility and versatility granted by the available technology. Although, initially, they represent ...
La recogida actual de residuos de aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos (RAEE) es muy reducida, sobre todo para la categoría de los pequeños aparatos eléctricos y electrónicos. Con el objetivo de aumentar esta recogida, se ...
Durante los últimos años se han venido realizando viaductos con cimbra autolanzable y una nueva secuencia evolutiva de la sección transversal. Esta nueva secuencia evolutiva consiste en alcanzar un esquema autoportante que ...
Desde que fueron descubiertas en el principio de los años sesenta, las aleaciones con memoria de forma de NiTi han suscitado un interés creciente. Hoy en día, estos materiales se emplean extensivamente en el campo biomédico. ...
The topic discussed in this dissertation is the study of the public spaces in Hong Kong. In recent decades the city has established itself as a major financial centre and production, aiming to be one of global cities of ...
(English) The transition towards to low carbon energy generation is promoting the installation of renewable energy sources, their successful deployment requires efficient energy storage systems in order to meet demand. ...
The target of this work is to contribute to the enhancement of numerical methods for the simulation of complex thermal systems. Frequently, the factor that limits the accuracy of the simulations is the computing power: ...
The aim of this work is to study the thermal behavior and fluid-dynamic systems, vapor compression refrigeration and its components (heat exchangers, expansion devices, compressors, connecting pipes, pumps and pressure ...
Concrete-filled tubes have been increasingly used these recent decades thanks to their improved structural behavior, especially under compression.Concrete filling in these sections improves ¡ts compressive strength thanks ...
In this work we study the numerical simulation of particle-laden fluids, with a focus on Newtonian fluids and spherical, rigid particles. We are thus dealing with a multi-phase (more precisely, a multi-component) problem, ...
The development of high-speed train lines has increased significantly during the last twenty-five years, leading to more demanding loads in railway infrastructures. Most of these infrastructures were constructed using ...
Structural health monitoring has been defined as the acquisition, validation and analysis of technical data to facilitate life- cycle management decisions. It is the result of a convergent path from many previous existing ...
