(English) In this study, the Weierstrass fractal function was used to model the surface roughness of railway tracks and, subsequently, the static coefficient of friction (COF) for Hertzian rail-wheel contact and cylinder-plane ...
La investigación realizada en esta tesis se ha centrado en la caracterización de la fractura de materiales compuestos por una matriz de polipropileno homopolímero isotáctico y diferentes fracciones de partículas laminares ...
Este trabajo se ubica en una perspectiva marcada por dos fuentes de inspiración y exigencia, que se complementan mutuamente: La primera está relacionada con el campo tecnológico y la segunda viene del ambiente científico. ...
La aleación Ti6Al4V es el biomaterial más utilizado para el reemplazo de tejidos duros, debido a su alta biocompatibilidad y a sus propiedades mecánicas. Sin embargo, al ser bioinerte no se une directamente con el hueso. ...
The main issue of the thesis is to discuss the method of building relationships between architecture and city through analyzing projects by Barcelona architects. There are two hypothesizes of the thesis: fragment and ...
DE LA TESIS<br/><br/>La presente tesis tiene por objetivo retratar parte de la crítica y de la teoría arquitectónica comúnmente llamada Posmoderna, a través del análisis de la IBA - Internationale Bauausstellung - ...
Modern guidelines for design and assessment of reinforced concrete structures under seismic and other extreme loads require nonlinear analysis. The complex structural response can be obtained by means of three-dimensional ...
(English) Cycles in the construction sector and economy disguise what appears to advance in occupational risk prevention when, unfortunately, the AECO sector maintains very high accident rates. The zero accident target is ...
Spatial Big Data is considered an essential trend in future scientific and business applications. Indeed, research instruments, medical devices, and social networks generate hundreds of peta bytes of spatial data per year. ...
In order to create autonomous characters it is necessary to solve the problem of moving agents between two locations, at both the global and local navigation levels. Global navigation has two main components: the path ...
Este estudio se ha centrado en las diversas fases de proyecto y la primera etapa de la construcción del Camp Nou, entre 1954 y 1957. Con la intención de ampliar al máximo la capacidad de localizar variables e indeterminaciones ...
Coffee is the most traded food in the world. The coffee industry has a great economic and social relevance worldwide. The sensory and functional properties of the product are highly important for the consumers, and therefore, ...
Suspensions of gold nanorods (GNRs) are emerging as potential drugs to address some of the limitations in traditional biomedical sensing,imaging and therapy. They are inorganic nanoparticles with good biocompatibility, ...
The present thesis has three major thrusts: the first thrust presents a broad investigation of asymptotic binary hypothesis testing, when each hypothesis represents asymptotically many independent instances of a quantum ...
This thesis addresses sustainability transitions in the built environment, from buildings to the metropolitan scale, while ranging from low carbon development to the multidimensional challenges currently faced by cities. ...
Physics has two main ambitions: to predict and to understand. Indeed, physics aims for the prediction of all natural phenomena. Prediction entails modeling the correlation between an action, the input, and what is subsequently ...
Genomic datasets are fundamental to broaden our understanding of human biology in the context of health and disease. However, the high-dimensional nature of gene expression and other molecular traits poses a challenge when ...
Since the i* framework emerged in the requirements engineering community in the mid-90s, different research groups have proposed variations to the modelling language proposed in the i* framework (¿the i* language¿). There ...
(English) In lithium-ion batteries, depending on the requirements, many individual cells are connected in series and parallel. Despite very similar individual cell parameters after production, they can develop differently ...
