Cornejo Castillo, Francisco Miquel (Date of defense: 2017-12-19)
Biological N2 fixation, the reduction of dinitrogen (N2) gas to biologically available nitrogen, is a fundamental process since it represents a source of new nitrogen for marine life in areas where this important element ...
Schillaci, Eugenio (Date of defense: 2017-12-11)
The present thesis focuses on the numerical analysis of some diverse physical set-up that involve the interaction of two -or three immiscible and incompressible phases. The simulations are carried out by means of finite-volume ...
Pons Freixes, Sergi (Date of defense: 2016-01-28)
Water is the most important resource for living on planet Earth, covering more than 70% of its surface. The oceans represent more than 97% of the planet total water and they are where more than the 99.5% of the living ...
Martínez Garcia, Eva (Date of defense: 2019-12-19)
In this thesis, we study the automatic translation of documents by taking into account cross-sentence phenomena. This document-level information is typically ignored by most of the standard state-of-the-art Machine ...
Peinado Checa, Zaira (Date of defense: 2014-11-21)
El patrimonio cultural está constituido por todos aquellos elementos y manifestaciones de la actividad humana que constituyen un valor esencial para la identidad de un territorio, pueblo o cultura porque están producidos ...
Sánchez Ruenes, David (Date of defense: 2007-12-14)
El Aprendizaje de Ontologías se define como el conjunto de métodos utilizados para construir, enriquecer o adaptar una ontología existente de forma semiautomática, utilizando fuentes de información heterogéneas. En este ...
Torres Londoño, Natalia Paola (Date of defense: 2022-06-16)
This research proposes a design method for deployable domes from the scissor-type system, starting from the geometry of regular polygons for its configuration. The geometry of the regular polygons inscribed in a circumference, ...
Capomaggi, Julia (Date of defense: 2015-12-18)
This research aims to develop a theory about how interior spaces have been shaped by the furniture in them, focusing on domestic interiors published in the magazine Domus during Gio Ponti’s second tenure as editor in chief ...
Peñaranda Quintero, Lourdes (Date of defense: 2011-03-23)
Esta investigación tiene sus bases en el análisis de la obra de Donald Judd como resultado de un desarrollo plástico inducido por una argumentación en contra de la representación del espacio ilusionista propio del arte ...
Gutiérrez Antuñano, Miguel Ángel (Date of defense: 2019-07-08)
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 ...
Cho, Meehwa (Date of defense: 2023-10-04)
(English) After more than a century of existence, a district considered marginal in my city is tragically disappearing without a trace. This inspired me to examine its development and destruction. Busan, the first industrial ...
Liu, Quan (Date of defense: 2018-03-23)
Solution-processed thin film solar cells emerged as very promising photovoltaic technologies suitable for a low cost roll-to-roll upscale production. Such thin film character also ensures lightweight and flexibility for ...
Barcons Roca, Jordi (Date of defense: 2017-11-21)
Near-surface wind fields are typically obtained from mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. These models describe the physics and dynamics of atmospheric phenomena with characteristic dimensions spanning from ...
Alcázar García, Désirée (Date of defense: 2022-09-05)
(English) We are currently immersed in the fourth industrial revolution that involves, among others, technology to prevent climate change, transformation of the transport sector, digitization and artificial intelligence. ...
Díaz Loaiza, Manuel Andrés (Date of defense: 2015-11-20)
Floods and Drought are some of the most catastrophic natural disasters for humanity, averaging 1 to 5 billion dollar of annually damage for flood events and 6 to 8 billion dollars respectively for drought events. To avoid ...
Ardanuy Della, Antoni (Date of defense: 2020-12-14)
This thesis aims at exploring the limits of low peak-power, low-cost, all-semiconductor, compact lidars (laser radars) for range-resolved remote sensing of atmospheric aerosols and clouds. The systems investigated are based ...
García Mendívil, Helio Adán (Date of defense: 2019-10-29)
Watermelon, Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus, and eggplant, Solanum melongena, are two major crops commonly grafted onto resistant rootstocks for controlling soilborne diseases. However, there are currently no commercially ...
Etinski, Maja (Date of defense: 2012-06-01)
Recent increase in performance of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems has been followed by even higher increase in power consumption. Power draw of modern supercomputers leads to very high operating costs and ...
Araiza Garaygordobil, Juan Carlos (Date of defense: 2003-02-28)
The development of methods that correlate the measure of dynamic parameters with the condition of the structure has received a considerable attention from the engineering community in the last few years. In the field of ...
Coelho, Nuno Miranda (Date of defense: 2012-05-25)
The initial molecular events that take place at biomaterials interface mimic to a certain extent the natural interaction of cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM). In this thesis we describe the fate of adsorbed type ...
