For a given cost matrix and a given communication requirement matrix, the OCSTP is defined as finding a spanning tree that minimizes the operational cost of the network. OCST can be used to design of more efficient ...
Firm-level productivity and efficiency analyses have important implications for the evaluation of their economic viability and sustainability. The assessment of a firm's performance requires the use of an adequate ...
This thesis presents some contributions in additive combinatorics and arithmetic Ramsey theory. More specifically, it deals with the interaction between combinatorics, number theory and additive combinatorics. This area ...
El marc d'aquesta tesi són els objectes invariants hiperbòlics (tors amb bigotis, cicles límit, NHIM,. . .), que constitueixen, per aquesta tesi, els objectes essencials per a l'estudi de diversos problemes des de la difusió ...
This thesis is mainly devoted to the study of the role of evolutionary-game theory in the design of distributed optimization-based controllers. Game theoretical approaches have been used in several engineering fields, e.g., ...
Intelligent systems that assist users in fulfilling complex tasks need a concise and processable representation of incomplete and uncertain information. In order to be able to choose among different options, these systems ...
(English) Surface inspection of coated surfaces in the automotive industry, traditionally has been a manual process in charge of keen eye operators in charge of inspecting the whole car body. However, as might be deducted, ...
Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has recently been considered as a promising paradigm for the next-generation Internet, shifting from the sender-driven end-to-end communication paradigma to a receiver-driven content ...
(English) The community is the main urban space for expressing public space, and it is quite related to the daily life of everyone. In China, the community associated with housing became much more complex than before in ...
Fracture mechanics of brittle materials has focused on bulk materials with isotropic surface energy. In this situation different physical principles for crack path selection are very similar or even equivalent. The situation ...
Proximity between urban realm and wilderness has been a salient feature of Northern American territorial patterns since European settlement. Even today such proximity, although drastically reduced, in some cases endures. ...
We examine a classical problem in soft-matter physics: the specific adhesion between deformable elastic objects, such as vesicles, mediated by mobile adhesion molecules. This problem is relevant to cell-cell adhesion. To ...
Lipid membranes are thin objects that form the main separation structure in cells. They have remarkable mechanical properties; while behaving as a solid shell against bending, they exhibit in-plane fluidity. These two ...
(English) Optical control of ferroelectric properties has been attracted a growing interest as an alternative to the conventional control by applied electric fields. However, the major drawback for achieving an effective ...
Partially Prestressed Concrete (PPC) is an intermediate design approach between reinforced and totally prestressed concrete, that enables controlled cracks in service phase. Conversely, totally prestressed concrete is ...
(English) Over the past three decades, optically trapped ultra-cold atoms have served as a versatile platform for controlled exploration of numerous condensed matter phenomena. The successful fabrication of magic angle ...
(English) Epithelial monolayers perform a variety of mechanical functions, which include maintaining a cohesive barrier or developing 3D shapes, while undergoing stretches over a wide range of magnitudes and loading rates. ...
Surface plasmons, which are characteristic oscillations of induced charges at metal surfaces that can interact strongly with light, are a key topic in nanophotonics. It can tightly confine the optical electric energy in ...
The study of thermal convection in rotating spherical geometry is fundamental to explain many geophysical and astrophysical phenomena such as the generation of the magnetic fields, or the differential rotation observed in ...
The LISA Pathfinder project is an ESA/NASA technology demonstrator mission that must test the critical instrumentation required for a future space-borne gravitational wave observatory based on the LISA design. The satellite, ...
