Identifying hazards is fundamental for ensuring the safe design and operation of a system in process plants and other facilities. Several techniques are available to identify hazardous situations, all of which require their ...
(English) This work presents a new updated reference Lagrangian Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) algorithm for the analysis of large deformation by introducing a novel system of first order conservation laws. Both ...
Satellite communication will play a central role towards fulfilling next generation 5G communication requirements. As a matter of fact, anytime-anywhere connectivity cannot be conceived without the presence of the satellite ...
Nowadays, Fiber-to-the-Home is one of the most promising solutions to provide broadband services in access networks. However, the fiber is inefficiently used as most of the deployed systems are still based on Time Division ...
Overlay networks are a technique to build a new network on top of an existing one. They are a key tool to add functionality to existing networks, and are used in different layers of the Internet stack for a wide variety ...
In recent decades, the industry of communications has acquired huge significance, and nowadays constitutes an essential tool for the society information. Thus, the exponential growth in demand of broadband services and ...
This thesis develops a study of two important aspects of the construction companies, first known as are the construction companies inside, organization and functional structure and the second how is the level of acquisition ...
The purpose of this research was to determine the level of reading comprehension and mental representation in sixth grade students in urban public and private schools in the District of Ponce, Puerto Rico. Sociodemographic ...
La tesis que aquí se expone gira en torno a la cuestión de la construcción de la realidad. En particular, en el ámbito de la ingeniería, esta construcción tiene que ver con sistemas artificiales que emergen como realidades ...
The main goal of this thesis is to investigate the formation of nocturnal coastal fronts (hereafter CF) in the Mediterranean basin producing nocturnal offshore precipitation near the coastline. After sunset the cooled ...
(English) To simulate unsteady phenomena on complex moving geometry, computational scientists and engineers have been interested in unstructured space-time discretizations. These space-time discretizations aim to overcome ...
Almost two centuries after the first observations of Robert Brown, the study of systems ruled by noise has become a significant part of modern physics and other so diverse situations, such as the stock market, personal ...
This dissertation is a study of the contemporary city using picture postcards as its sole frame of reference. Until now the postcard has enjoyed little recognition as a documentary medium that could function reliably and ...
With the growth of the Internet, computational systems have become more and more complex, often including complicate interconnected networks of autonomous components. The need to bring some organisational structure into ...
Presentamos una formulación nueva para el análisis de problemas Termo-hidro-mecánicos en medios salinos. Esta formulación incluye, desde la obtención de ecuaciones de balance de masa, momento y energía hasta su resolución ...
Non-centralized control schemes for large-scale systems, including energy networks, are more flexible, scalable, and reliable than the centralized counterpart. These benefrts are obtained by having a set of local control!ers, ...
For 200 years, Fourier’s law has been used to describe heat transfer with excellent results. However, as technology advances, more and more situations arise where heat conduction is not well described by the classical ...
Critical Real-Time Embedded Systems (CRTES) are the subset of embedded systems with timing constraints whose miss behavior can endanger human lives or expensive equipment. To provide evidence of correctness, CRTES are ...
In the last decades, software engineering has become an important area of research. As researchers, we try to identify a problem, a need, or a hole in some research topic, once identified we make an effort to produce new ...
The construction industry is one of the industrial sectors with the largest output worldwide and, thus, of great economic interest. In this sector, reinforced concrete plays a significant role since it is one of the most ...
