La Selva Lacandona de Chiapas, al sureste de la República Mexicana, es una región de 1'800.000 hectáreas de alto valor ambiental. Determinada por las características físicas del ecosistema selvático, ha sido un escenario ...
The process of landscape restoration in highly polluted areas is influenced by complex interactions between a variety of environmental elements; these are interconnected through the comprehensive medium of the landscape ...
Semiconductor lasers in high-power regime typically manifest a poor beam quality due to its asymmetric beam divergence and its large beam quality factor (M2). The emission along one of the transverse directions (slow axis) ...
The development of synthetic bone substitutes with enhanced osteogenic properties is urged by the global ageing population. Sintered calcium-phosphate (CaP) ceramics are the most widely used synthetic biomaterials for bone ...
Quantum mechanics was developed as a response to the inadequacy of classical physics in explaining certain physical phenomena. While it has proved immensely successful, it also presents several features that severely ...
The frequency of occurrence of an accident is a key aspect in the risk assessment field. Variables such as the human factor, which is a major cause of undesired events in process industries, are usually not considered ...
Aquesta tesi està dedicada a l'estudi de la utilització de informació morfosintàctica en el marc dels sistemes de traducció estocàstica, amb l'objectiu de millorar-ne la qualitat a través de la incorporació de informació ...
As distributed electronic systems grow to include thousands of components, from grid to peer-to-peer nodes, from (Semantic) Web services to web-apps to computation in the cloud, governance of such systems is becoming a ...

Context: Probabilistic selling is the strategy that the seller creates an additional probabilistic product using existing products. The exact information is unknown to customers until they receive the probabilistic products. ...
Given an elliptic curve E over the complex numbers (CC) given by y^2 = x^3 + ax + b, there exists a lattice L in CC such that the group E(CC) of complex points on E is isomorphic to the complex analytic group CC/L. This ...
Wildfires are an ecological phenomenon inherent to earth dynamics and widely spread over the globe. In addition to the environmental impact, when wildfires grow beyond controllable magnitudes, they pose a principal threat ...
En esta tesis se realiza el análisis y la síntesis de inversores bidireccionales con aislamiento en alta frecuencia. Entre las aplicaciones que se contemplan podemos destacar: sistemas de alimentación fotovoltaicos, sistemas ...
This thesis presents a characterization of the charge structures of thunderstorms and lightning leader development, and their relationship with the emissions of terrestrial gamma ray flashes (TGFs). The results include a ...
