G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest membrane protein superfamily encoded by the human genome and represent the largest class of drug targets for a wide range of pathological conditions. Two GPCRs members, ...
Human color perception is mediated by cone photoreceptor cells which mainly locate on the fovea of the eye. Bright light activates the photosensitive opsin pigments which are embedded in the outer segment membrane discs ...
No es frecuente encontrar un campo donde dos ramas principales de la Física estén involucradas. La Magnetohidrodinámica es uno de tales campos debido a que involucra a la Mecánica de Fluidos y al Electromagnetismo. Aun ...
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is the physics branch that studies electrically conducting fluids under external magnetic fields. This thesis deals with the numerical approximation using stabilized finite element methods of two ...
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a powerful numerical tool, that permits the resolution of problems defined by partial differential equations, very often employed to deal with the numerical simulation of multiphysics ...
We present three new stabilized finite element (FE) based Petrov-Galerkin methods for the convection-diffusionreaction (CDR), the Helmholtz and the Stokes problems, respectively. The work embarks upon a priori analysis ...
This thesis presents the a stabilized projection-based Reduced Order Model (ROM) formulation in low speed fluid flows using a Variational Multi-Scale (VMS) approach. To develop this formulation we use a Finite Element (FE) ...
This thesis is devoted to study integro-differential equations. This type of equations constitutes nowadays a very active field of research which has important applications in modeling real-life phenomena where nonlocal ...
End of Energy Poverty and achieving Sustainable Energy for all by 2030 is a universal challenge. 1.3 billion people without energy access and 2.8 billion people using unsustainable solid fuel for cooking and heating are ...
Let K|Q be a number field and let Z(K,s) be its associated complex L-function. The analytic class number formula relates special values of Z(K,s) with algebraic invariants of the field K itself. It admits a Galois equivariant ...
The objectives of the thesis were, on the one hand, to test the possibilities of a well-known experimental configuration (oscillating grid mixing box), used to study stratified fluids in turbulent flows with zero-mean, on ...
In order to be worldwide competitive, the automotive industry is constantly challenged to produce higher quality vehicles in the shortest time possible and with the minimum costs of production. Most of the problems with ...
During the construction and operation stages of structures, various factors lead to irreversible degradation that could affect the normal use and the public safety of these structures. In recent years, it has been common ...
In the framework of the reduction of the emissions of greenhouse gases, FOWT will be the technology that will exploit the wind resources in deep seas. In order to achieve a commercial deployment of this technology, a cost ...
This thesis presents novel methods based on a combination of well-known statistical techniques for faster estimation of memory yield and their application in the design of energy-efficient subthreshold memories. The emergence ...
Since its discovery in 1928, Raman spectroscopy (RS) has produced a revolution in the fields of analytical chemistry and molecular detection. Thanks to the latest technical advances, the expectations of the applicability ...
Aquesta tesi està formada per dues parts relacionades amb l'estudi de la salut d'una regió geogràfica dividida en un conjunt de zones (àrees petites). La primera part es basa en un estudi amb informació de salut agregada ...
Defining the scientific question is the starting point for any clinical study. However, even though the main objective is generally clear, how this is addressed is not usually straightforward. Clinical studies very often ...
(English) Epidemiology is a relatively young and rapidly evolving science. Recent technological breakthroughs have allowed modern epidemiologists to raise increasingly ambitious research hypotheses. This has originated ...
Aquesta tesi doctoral tracta sobre Enginyeria Kansei (EK), una tècnica per traslladar emocions transmeses per productes en paràmetres tècnics, i sobre mètodes estadístics que poden beneficiar la disciplina. El propòsit ...
