Cementitious materials are used as barriers in radioactive waste storage. Hence, transport processes in this kind of material are important. The objective of this thesis is to improve the understanding of transport of water ...
The thesis asks about the forms of the region and finds answer in the landscape. The work focuses on the study of a fragment of the interior of Galicia. The labyrinthine topography proper to the area, with significant slope ...
Textile industry consumes large amount of water in their processes, mainly in dyeing and finishing operations. In general, during the dyeing process, up to 30% of dyes used can be discharged into wastewater. For this reason, ...
El éxito clínico de los implantes dentales, fabricados en titanio comercialmente puro (Ti c.p.), está basado en la consecución de la osteointegración, es decir, la conexión directa estructural y funcional entre el hueso ...
Los tejidos de algodón se someten a procesos de preparación (desencolado, descrudado y blanqueo) basados en la eliminación de impurezas presentes en la superficie de la fibra. Actualmente se blanquean con peróxido de ...
En el capítulo 1 se presentan algunos conceptos básicos relacionados con el tráfico de voz, junto a los modelos más comúnmente utilizados en la evaluación y dimensionado de sistemas de telefonía móvil. En todos los casos ...
Medical applications of technical textiles are an expanding field of research. One of the added values of these new materials would be that they were suitable to contain and release active compounds in a controlled and ...
Automata are a widely used formalism in computer science as a concise representation for sets. They are interesting from a theoretical and practical point of view. This work is focused on automata that are executed on ...
The central concept of the present thesis is that the sense of belonging underlying heritage should be rooted in a strong community-based feeling. Sure enough, historical assets are looked at with a feeling of admiration ...
Different aspects of the bathyal ecosystem have been treated with the final aim to investigate trophic cascades driven by fishery (top-down control), a phenomenon that in bathyal systems has never been studied. This was ...
En esta Tesis Doctoral se ha analizado las relación de la comunidad ictioplanctonica con su ambiente físico y trófico en dos condiciones hidrográficas contrastadas (estratificación estival y mezcla otoñal) y se ha caracterizado ...
Landslides and debris flows falling into reservoirs, natural lakes, fjords or seas can generate impulsive waves, which can be assimilated to tsunamis. This phenomenon, also known as "landslide tsunami", can be highly ...
Bone is the most transplanted tissue after blood. As pointed out by the World Health Organization, musculoskeletal diseases can potentially rise as the fourth largest cause of disability within the next years. Unfortunately, ...
Several series of experiments in stratified and in rotating/stratified decaying flows after a grid is used to stir the two layer stable fluid brine and fresh water set up. We measure by comparing the gained potential ...
This thesis reports the experimental study of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with tunable interactions, which are exploited as a platform to perform quantum simulation of many-body quantum systems. To perform ...
The control of autonomous flying vehicles with navigation purposes is a challenging task. Complexity arises mainly due to the non-linearity and uncertainty inherently present in the flight mechanics and aircraft-air ...
Supercomputing, also known as High Performance Computing (HPC), is almost everywhere (ubiquitous), from the small widget in your phone telling you that today will be a sunny day, up to the next great contribution to the ...
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is undoubtedly one of the most important and interesting applications in the cutting-edge era of Deep-learning deployment, especially in the mobile segment. Fast and accurate ASR comes ...
There has been a tremendous evolution in integrated circuit technology in the past decades. With the scaling of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistors, faster, less power consuming and more complex chips ...
The present thesis studies a variety of cold atomic systems in artificial gauge fields. In the first part we focus on fractional quantum Hall effects, asking whether interesting topological states can be realized with cold ...
