La tesis doctoral que se desarrolla a continuación se centra en la réplica de negocio que, en contextos de pobreza, crean valor para la sociedad (en términos de reducción de pobreza) y la empresa. La incorporación de las ...
Many scientific, industrial and medical applications require the measurement of different physical parameters in order to collect information about the spatially distributed status of some process. Very often this information ...
We present a cell-centred model for the simulation of multicellular soft tissues that takes into account the underlying active process at the cytoskeletal level, and allows for active and passive cell-cell reorganisation ...
Roman architect Mario Ridolfi (1904-1984) made a substantial contribution to the transformation of European cities and to collective housing after the Second World War. For a period of twenty years, he used the city of ...
Intensive farming often leads environmental consequences. This is the case of the study area of this thesis: the Empordà, a region with a variety of intensive crops (fruits, cereals, forage,...) and manifest problems of ...
The probabilistic seismic risk assessment in terms of economic losses for building portfolios aims at the estimation of the probability distribution functions of losses. This can be done for a specific seismic event ...
The main goal of the work presented in this thesis is to describe the definition of interoperability mechanisms between rights expression languages and policy languages. Starting from languages interoperability, the intention ...
(English) The historical analysis performed has shown that jet fires have been the origin of a high number of domino effect accidents, both in the process industry and in the transportation of flammable fluids by pipelines ...
Human impact on groundwater resources has led to a rapid growth of social concerns worldwide owing to an increasing presence of toxic chemicals released in the subsurface. Risk assessment provides the scientific tool needed ...
Infrastructure maintenance programs establish schedules for routine inspections of highway bridges with little consideration of their current conditions. The time interval between two inspections is traditionally set based ...
La intenció d'aquest projecte de recerca és anar més enllà de l' aconseguit pels sistemes existents de selecció i comparació de processos de Prototipat Ràpid, mitjançant la introducció d'una nova metodologia que tingui com ...
lnnovation management has different approaches for implementation. depending on the type of company and industry in which it is applied. In spite of existing organizational models for innovation management in companies and ...
The work of Robert Delaunay and particularly his Eiffel Tower paintings are recognized as an essential symbol of modern art. However, their precise assessment by historians varies and there are aspects of these works that ...
One of the main challenges in Robotics is to develop robots that can interact with humans in a natural way, sharing the same dynamic and unstructured environments. Such an interaction may be aimed at assisting, helping or ...
This doctoral thesis deals with the use of the robot redundancy to execute several tasks simultaneously at different levels of priority and its application to two different robotic systems. In particular, new uses of the ...
(Eng) In this work we study various mathematical problems arising from the robotic manipulation of cloth. First, we develop a locking-free continuous model for the physical simulation of inextensible textiles. We present ...
This thesis is devoted to present some novel techniques in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). SHM is a developing field that tries to monitor structures to make sure that they remain in their desired condition to avoid ...
Navigation and location technologies have been reaching in a major interest where Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is mostly adopted. The limitation of this technology is that direct sky view is needed for reliable ...
This thesis focuses on the interactive simulation of highly detailed deformable solids modelled with the Corotational Finite Element Method. Starting from continuum mechanics we derive the discrete equations of motion and ...
This PhD thesis presents a methodology to detect, estimate and localize water leaks (with the main focus in the localization problem) in water distribution networks using hydraulic models and machine learning techniques. ...
