The global incidence of bone fractures, and subsequently that of non-healing ones, is expected to rise in the coming decades, mostly due to an increased risk of age-related conditions. Currently, the biomaterials field is ...
The thesis falls into the field of machine olfaction and accompanying experimental set up for chemical gas sensing. Perhaps more than any other sensory modality, chemical sensing faces with major technical and conceptual ...
The lack of green areas in cities is caused by the increase in population and the urbanisation process. However, an increasing interest in city greenery was observed since the beginning of twentieth century. Several benefits ...
(English) Biodegradable metals emerged as promising materials for bioresorbable devices avoiding the potential side effects of permanent implants. Among them, zinc (Zn) arose dueto its suitable degradation rate for biomedical ...
La present tesi s’emmarca dins d’una de les línies del Grup de Recerca Paperer i Gràfic (CIPAGRAF), del Departament d’Enginyeria Tèxtil i Paperera de l’Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeries Industrial i Aeronàutica de ...
(English) The main objective of this work is to counteract the limitations of polylactic acid (PLA) and propose a sustainable manufacturing approach using bioblends of a rheologically modified PLA by reactive extrusion ...
This thesis explores classification and perturbation problems for group actions on a class of Poisson manifolds called $b^m$-Poisson manifolds. $b^m$-Poisson manifolds are manifolds which are symplectic away from a ...
Bone is among the most transplanted tissues for regeneration of bone defects, caused by trauma, age-related bone loss or bone infections. Due to their similar characteristics to the mineral phase of bone, calcium phosphates ...
Bound states in the continuum (BICs) are modes that remain radiationless though they exist in the part of the spectrum that corresponds to radiating waves. They are a general wave phenomenon and following initial theoretical ...
Complex hardware systems become more and more ubiquitous in mission critical applications such as military, satellite, and medical to name but a few. In such applications, reliability remains a primary concern because a ...
Brackish springs are relatively frequent phenomena in coastal carbonate formations and their existence has been extensively reported in Mediterranean coasts. In fact, more than 300 brackish springs have been identified ...
The Southwest Atlantic Ocean is a key component of the global climate system. It holds the Confluence of the Brazil and Malvinas Currents (BMC), one of the highest frontal systems of the world ocean. The BMC is the encounter ...
Heterogeneous platforms had become popular to increase the computational power of the systems within a constrained power budget. They are present in several systems, from embedded platforms and mobile devices to high-end ...
El objetivo principal de la tesis es estudiar los patrones respiratorios de pacientes en proceso de extubación y pacientes con insuficiencia cardiaca crónica (CHF), a partirde la señal de flujo respiratorio. La información ...
3D reconstruction and image synthesis are two of the main pillars in computer vision. Early works focused on simple tasks such as multi-view reconstruction and texture synthesis. With the spur of Deep Learning, the field ...
In the era of digital transformation, an increasing number of organizations are start ing to think in terms of business processes. Processes are at the very heart of each business, and must be understood and carried out ...
Operator’s transport networks are becoming increasingly more complex due to the large number of network layers needed to support the ever increasing number of new services (e.g., video-on-demand, social media, on-line ...
As distributed systems grow in complexity, the interactions among individuals (agents, services) of such systems become increasingly more complex and therefore more difficult to constrain and monitor. We propose to view ...
The electrical impedance of biological samples is known in the literature as Electrical Bioimpedance (EBI). The Electrical Bioimpedance enables to characterize physiological conditions and events that are interesting for ...
Recent years have seen the emergence and ubiquitous adoption of Chip Multiprocessors (CMPs), which rely on the coordinated operation of multiple execution units or cores. Successive CMP generations integrate a larger number ...
