The Barcelona metropolitan area (BMA; 3.2 M inhabitants) has an integrated urban water cycle management. Different type of treatment plants are located along the drinking, sewerage and reuse networks where specific treatments ...
(English) Traditional data centers consist of computing nodes that possess all the resources physically attached. When there was the need to deal with more significant demands, the solution has been to either add more nodes ...
(English) In recent years, several industry sectors have adapted the Digital Twin (DT) paradigm to improve the performance of physical systems. This paradigm consists of leveraging computational methods to build high-fidelity ...
Gone are the days when engineers and scientists conducted most of their experiments empirically. During these decades, actual tests were carried out in order to assess the robustness and reliability of forthcoming product ...
Levitodynamics is a fast growing field that studies the levitation and manipulation of micro- and nanoobjects, fuelled by both fundamental physics questions and technological applications. Due to the isolated nature of ...
The field of levitation optomechanics---or levitodynamics---studies the manipulation and control of small trapped objects in an isolated environment, providing a gateway to answer fundamental questions in physics and ...
Levitodynamics addresses the levitation and manipulation of micro- and nanoresonators with the purpose of studying their dynamics. This emerging field has attracted much attention over the last few years owing to unprecedented ...
This Ph.D. thesis addresses remote sensing of the atmosphere by means of lidar and S-band clear-air weather radar, and related data signal processing. Active remote sensing by means of these instruments offers unprecedented ...
This Ph.D. thesis focuses on: (i) the design and integration of a polarimetric channel for the multi-spectral Raman lidar station of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Remote Sensing, Antennas, Microwaves and ...
LIDAR es un acrónimo de LIght Detection And Ranging. En la presente tesis, se usan técnicas basadas en lidar elástico para monitorizar la atmósfera remotamente y derivar información cuantitativa acerca de sus parámetros ...
With over 1.35 million fatalities related to traffic accidents worldwide, autonomous driving was foreseen at the beginning of this century as a feasible solution to improve security in our roads. Nevertheless, it is meant ...
Among the better-known approaches are Corporate Social Responsibility, Sustainability, the Circular Economy and the Collaborative Economy. All of these drive value for organisations, and all share this common characteristic: ...
El constructo Comportamiento de Ciudadanía Organizativa (CCO) ha recibido una gran atención en las tres últimas décadas (Podsakoff, Mackenzie, Paine y Bachrach, 2000). En la actualidad la ciudadanía organizativa está ...
Air transport, in 2018, was the means of transport chosen by 8.8 billion people around the world. This is a sector that expected continued passenger growth in the following years, but due to the current effects of the ...
La industria de la construcción está fragmentada debido a la gran cantidad de Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas (PYMEs) y la multitud de fases que forman parte de un proyecto. Desde siempre, esta situación ha provocado una serie ...
La industria es comúnmente vista como una fuente de degradación ambiental y de consumo de recursos, a pesar de ello es una parte vital del desarrollo social y de la creación de riqueza. Del mismo modo, los sistemas ...
(English) The sixth-generation (6G) network's evolution necessitates advancements in algorithms and architecture to transition from an AI-native to an intrinsic trustworthy automation-native system. Network slicing creates ...
(English) To mitigate the present environmental crisis, caused by the excessive use of fossil fuels and associated release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, it is necessary to significantly reduce worldwide energy ...
This thesis deals with sunny side-lit indoor atmospheres, in which an outdoor view is required and a calm environment to enhance concentration. Different window systems were compared: a single fully glazed façade and complex ...
Recent advancement in Photonics have brought about a new era of miniaturisation. Along came a need for technology to allow the manipulation of light at the micrometer scale, with precise control over beam propagation. The ...
