The development of social robots capable of interacting with humans is one of the principal challenges in the field of robotics. More and more, robots are appearing in dynamic environments, like pedestrian walkways, ...
El rendimiento de los actuales sistemas multiprocesador de memoria compartida depende tanto de la utilización eficiente de todos los componentes del sistema (procesadores, memoria, etc), como de las características del ...
The envisioned rapid and exponential increase of wireless data traffic demand in the next years imposes rethinking current cellular networks due to the available spectrum scarcity. In this regard, 3 main drivers are ...
The ubiquity of solar energy conversion technology is an exciting target which we aspire for in this century. Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) solar cells are an attractive platform, being low-cost and allowing facile control ...
Economic approaches through ecosystem services (ES) valuation are increasingly recommended by conservation organisations to face main market externalities affecting biodiversity in general and coral reef ecosystems. In ...
This thesis presents an investigation on the signatures of corona discharges from grounded rods under thunderstorms and in the laboratory, with optical detections in the 337/777 nm wavelengths for high voltage sparks. This ...
I have used and developed a practical new platform in the clinics for the noninvasive estimation of cerebral hemodynamics. The latform combines two diffuse optical techniques: near-infrared spectroscopy and diffuse ...
The main goal of this thesis is the computation of ground state properties of quantum many-body systems under Spin Orbit coupling (SOC) interactions out of the ultradilute regime. We present two approaches to fulfill this ...
Cu-based alloys are widely applied in corrosive environments. The improvement of the alloys' corrosion resistance will significantly reduce energy consumption and overexploitation of resources. To increase the resistance ...
The image of the great Cosmos and the perception that man has from himself in relation to it is in the thematic core of this study, much more than a reconstruction of the diverse categories of his own thought in regard to ...
The current air transportation system is reaching the capacity limit in many countries/regions across the world. It tends to be less efficient or even incapable sometimes to deal with the enormous air traffic demand that ...
(English) Climate change is a major issue that is having a significant impact on coastal areas globally. This phenomenon is generating processes of erosion, flooding and sea level rise, which is of great concern. These ...
(English) Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) also known as drones have been used for a variety of reasons such as surveillance, reconnaissance, shipping and delivery, etc. and commercial drone market growth is expected to reach ...
En los últimos años, el análisis numérico de problemas acoplados, como los procesos de degradación de materiales y estructuras relacionados con los efectos medioambientales, ha cobrado especial importancia en la comunidad ...
The main object of this Thesis is the study of the dynamical coupling between cellular processes, and how this coupling gives rise to a well-defined behavior in the presence of non-linearities and noise. Cell functioning ...
Unsaturated flow plays an important role in numerous environmental phenomena. It is complex in arid regions, where liquid water fluxes are small and vapor fluxes become relevant, so that heat, water and solute mass transport ...
The brain is known to operate under the constant influence of noise arising from a variety of sources. It also organises its activity into rhythms spanning multiple frequency bands. These rhythms originate from neuronal ...
(English) This thesis investigates numerical methods for the simulation of surface water flows, focusing on the interaction between the large scale and the local scale and its application to natural hazards. Several families ...
Epistemological Framework. The present thesis provides a specific approach to the realm of Evolutionary Aesthetics, and is probably the first architectural research effort to take into account the recent achievements of ...
La tesis tiene por objetivo aportar nuevos conocimientos sobre la creatividad aplicada en la ingeniería, en concreto, en la fase de generación de nuevas ideas. Para ello se emplean cinco líneas de trabajo: (a) Dando un ...
