Improving grid stability by integration renewables using static synchronous generators
(English) The European Commission has plans to transition from classic power system to a net-zero emission power system, mainly by focusing on renewable sources. The power plants owners and power grid operators have technical ...
Numerical modelling of non-Newtonian shallow flows
(English) Numerical modelling of natural phenomena, particularly weather-related which are the 90 % of global disasters, is essential to analyse and predict hazardous situations for the people, the economy and the environment. ...
The impact of balanced scorecard on organizational well-being?
(English) The main functions of management science are planning, organizing, directing, coordinating, and supervising. For management to perform its most basic functions, the activities conducted must be measured. Measurement ...
Software defined networking for autonomous and secure optical networks
(English) The increasing complexity and demands of modern telecommunications networks necessitate the development of autonomous and secure systems to ensure efficient, reliable, and secure communications. The integration ...
La urbe como conjunto ciudad-campo para su gestión ecológicamente más sostenible. Regeneración de los suelos hasta Pristinia: una nueva pauta de la planificación urbanística y del desarrollo regional
(English) This doctoral thesis explores the possibilities of improving the degree of ecological sustainability of the city, mainly an economic and energetic concept. It refers, that is, to a management of our house, the ...
Computational analysis and design of metamaterial-based panels for high-performance acoustic applications
(English) The concept of metamaterials has emerged as an exciting frontier. These are engineered structures designed to possess unique properties, often unattainable in nature. This concept has not only captured the ...
Structural behavior of fiber reinforced concrete bridges
(English) The application of fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) in bridge structures presents a significant advancement in structural performance, reinforcement optimization, and serviceability enhancement. This study examines ...
On the majorization-minimization framework and g-convex optimization: exploiting diversity using sparse-aware and information theoretic criteria
(English) Diversity is a well-established concept in wireless communications whose purpose is to quantify the potential robustness of a receiver when multiple independent copies of the informative signal are received. ...
Finite element methods for particle-laden flows
(English) In this monograph, we develop a numerical method to model dense particle-laden flows. We analyze the key components of a particle-laden flow algorithm, which are the stabilization of the fluid formulation, the ...
Beyond XAI for trustworthy federated learning in 6G zero-touch network slicing
(English) In the approaching era of 6G networks, the necessity for AI-driven zero-touch network automation is highlighted by the need to support multiple network slices for various use cases. Network slicing (NS), a ...
Foundations of ontology-based explainable robots
(English) A critical challenge in the design of robots that operate while interacting with humans is to ensure mutual understanding, which contributes to build reliable human-robot interactions. It is an arduous task since ...
Modeling of orthopedic surgeries using advanced biomechanical computational techniques
(English) This dissertation deals with the modeling and simulation of orthopaedic surgeries with the help of computational biomechanical techniques. These orthopaedic conditions are characterized by their geometry and ...
Quantum Monte Carlo studies of impurities in Bose gases at finite temperature and in the Fermi-hubbard model
(English) This Thesis explores the behavior of impurities embedded in Bose and Fermi systems, addressing both ground-state properties and thermal effects. We investigate these phenomena through advanced computational ...
Cold plasma-treated hydrogels for multimodal cancer therapy
(English) Cold atmospheric plasma (hereon just plasma) is a weakly ionized gas that gained attention as a cost-efficient and well-tolerated cancer treatment that selectively targets the altered redox metabolism of malignant ...
A Multi-Objective Integer Programming approach for synergistic Tenant Mix optimization in shopping centers
(English) A shopping center's profitability is significantly influenced by its Tenant Mix, which refers to the strategic combination and placement of different retail categories within the center. However, selecting the ...
Modeling and reconstruction of 3D humans under context
(English) The study of human's and their behavior through the analysis of images and videos has long been a central topic in Computer Vision. The reconstruction and modeling of human behavior have garnered increasing ...
Optimize use of recycled aggregate in high-durability structural concrete: an experimental study
(English) Currently, the construction industry faces the challenge of adopting more sustainable practices, with the use of recycled aggregates in structural concrete production emerging as a key strategy. This doctoral ...
Multi-actor multi-criteria decision-making methods and tools for the implementation of industrial symbiosis and circular economy solutions in the process industry
