Since its inception until today, the Internet has been in constant transformation. The analysis and monitoring of data networks try to shed some light on this huge black box of interconnected computers. In particular, the ...
The complexity of operation and management of emerging cellular networks significantly increases, as they evolve to correspond to increasing QoS needs, data rates and diversity of offered services. Thus critical challenges ...
The Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is a local-area, airport-based augmentation of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) that provides precision approach guidance for aircraft. It enhances GNSS performance ...
NetZero Energy Buildings or buildings with almost zero energy consumption, are buildings with high energy performance in terms of operational energy, and which also seek to reduce their CO2 emissions in addition to other ...
Sensory neurons use sequences of electrical pulses (known as action potentials or spikes) to encode and transmit information of external temporal stimuli. Neural coding is the research field that studies the relationship ...
L’objectiu principal d’aquesta tesi és avançar en la comprensió del processament d’informació en xarxes neuronals en presència d’oscil lacions subumbrals. La majoria de neurones propaguen la seva activitat elèctrica a ...
Neutron capture cross sections are fundamental in the study of the slow neutron capture process of nucleosynthesis, also known as the s-process, which produces half of the observed solar system abundances of elements heavier ...
A recent sensitivity analysis done for the new generation of fast reactors [1] has shown the importance of improved cross section data for several actinides. Among them, the neutron-induced fission cross section of 240,242Pu ...
By 2050 the energy consumption is expected to increase considerably.The production might be mostly based on renewable energy mix driven by the nuclear fusion which could potentially deliver continuous, large-scale power ...
This thesis investigates the cross-section and member behaviour of cold-formed stainless steel RHS and SHS elements and proposes an alternative and more efficient design approach. Combined with aesthetic appeal, exceptional ...
Bone is among the most frequently transplanted tissues in the body. In Europe, about one million patients encounter a surgical bone reconstruction annually. The worldwide market of bone replacement materials is currently ...
This thesis focuses on the study of low-resource demanding protocols, communication techniques and software solutions to evaluate, optimise and implement Web service in WSNs. We start analysing the Web service architectures ...
The composting process is Nature's way of recycling organic wastes with a good quality organic fertilizer as a result. This process, though, needs of a thoroughly monitoring of temperature and humidity for a good resulting ...
(English) High-throughput omics technologies produce large-scale heterogeneous data that provide complementary views of the underlying complexity of the studied organism. To exploit these new data to answer biomedical ...
An important percentage of Colombian population is located in medium-to-high seismicity zones (NSR-10, 2010). Therefore, it is important to protect the buildings, principally the highly crowded ones, and those that are ...
La presente tesis doctoral (i.e., “New developments in calcium phosphate bone cements: approaching spinal applications”) aporta nuevos conocimientos en el campo de los cementos óseos de fosfato de calcio (CPBCs) en relación ...
Last years have become very productive for the research, construction and development of new facilities devoted to the production of beams with exotic radioisotopes (Radioactive Ion Beams, RIB). These beams are later used ...
Cities are receiving more and more residents while the natural resources are getting scarce and scarce. As a possible answer, diverse streams of thoughts have emerged declaring that cities need to become intelligent, wired ...
This research is developed in the context of the Next Generation of Passive Optical Networks (NG-PON) for Fibre to the Home (FTTH) network. In this thesis, several techniques are proposed in order to increase the network ...
