Exploring the dynamics of the β2-adrenergic receptor: insights from explainable AI in GPCR research
(English) G-protein coupled receptors are transmembrane proteins that serve as critical mediators between extracellular signals and intracellular responses. These highly dynamic entities orchestrate a wide array of cellular ...
Complementing urban gray with blue-green infrastructure for water management in Tehran
(English) Water has always played a crucial role in urban development, especially in areas with abundant supply. It enhances urban spaces, creating mem- orable environments for citizens. However, in Iran’s climate, the ...
El método estructural, su contribución al conocimiento de la realidad económica, aportación de los estudios sobre sectores industriales a la descripción en la aplicación del método
(Español) Es sentida por todos, dentro del campo de las ciencias sociales, la necesidad de la afirmación como "ciencia" de cada una de sus ramas. Ello se traduce en una mayor atención a los aspectos metodológicos, con el ...
Unravelling the complexity of food loss and waste: towards sustainable food systems
(English) Global food systems pose both threats and solutions for sustaining quality of life in our planet. Roughly 40% of the food meant for humans is lost or wasted globally, exacerbating systems unsustainability. Urgent ...
Utopia inhabited : el Barri Gaudí by Taller de Arquitectura : 1960s & 1970s production of everyday social sciences
(English) This text is the outcome of PhD research on El Barri Gaudí (Gaudí Neighborhood), one of the collective housing prototypes that emerged worldwide during the 1960s and 1970s embodying alternative ways of communal ...
Experimentally constrained organic aerosol chemical and absorption properties in the atmospheric chemistry MONARCH model
(English) Organic aerosols (OA) are a significant component of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere, accounting for 20-90% of total PM in Europe. OA plays a fundamental role in air quality, human health, and climate ...
Strategies for urban progress toward higher renewable energy: a PV-centric approach with clustering methodology: case study in Barcelona
(English) This dissertation presents a comprehensive study on the integration ofintegrating photovoltaic (PV) systems within urban environments, focusing on Barcelona as a case study. It explores innovative approaches to ...
AI-driven multi-antenna designs for next generations of wireless communication systems
(English) As wireless networks evolve toward sixth-generation (6G) systems, the integration of advanced technologies like massive MIMO, millimeter-wave communication, intelligent reflecting surfaces, and massive multiple ...
Arquitectura comparada
(English) —I— Architecture is a way of ordering the pieces of the world according to their reciprocal affinities, and this involves comparing. Because the word “architecture”, as well as referring to how buildings, cities, ...
Innovative bulk and interfaces management on Q-1D Sb2Se3 based solar cells
(English) This thesis investigated antimony Q-1D (Sb)-based solar cells as a promising alternative for sustainable energy generation, addressing critical challenges related to material properties, interfaces, and device ...
Interannual to decadal variability in the Southern Ocean surface CO2 fluxes in relation with the large-scale atmospheric modes
(English) Abstract The Southern Ocean (<35◦S), which encircles Antarctica, plays a disproportionately large role in the global carbon cycle, accounting for nearly half of the ocean’s uptake of anthropogenic CO₂. This ...
Novel polyamides containing bio-based units: thermal properties, polymorphic transitions, chemical modifications and evaluation of processing conditions
(English) Nylons, a class of linear polyamides, are well-known materials used in a huge number of different applications. Since the first production occurred during the last years of the 1940s, these polymers showed their ...
Framework for optimizing the construction process in Saudi Arabia: the integration of lean construction, building information modeling (BIM), and emerging technologies
(English) The construction industry in Saudi Arabia is experiencing rapid growth driven by the ambitious Vision 2030, but challenges related to inefficiencies, cost overruns, and delays persist. This research presents a ...
The geometry of vision: a comparative study of Persian architecture and miniature painting as a unified system (Ilkhanid and Timurid periods)
(English) This doctoral thesis explores the shared geometric foundations of Persian architecture and miniature painting between 1256 and 1550, spanning the Ilkhanid, Timurid, and early Safavid periods. It argues that both ...
Metal-decorated ceria-based reducible oxide catalysts for CO2 transformation
(English) Noble metal clusters and single atoms have been considered as effective co-catalysts for the enhancement of carbon dioxide hydrogenation due to their singular geometric structures, electronic properties and unique ...
Mathematical and computational modeling of the active mechanics of multicellular systems: from cell-cell adhesion to epithelial reshaping
(English) This thesis develops theoretical and computational frameworks to model two fundamental mechanical functions of multicellular tissues: cell-cell adhesion and epithelial reshaping. These processes are controlled ...
A contribution to group decision aiding by means of multi-perceptual unbalanced linguistic assessments
(English) In decision-aiding environments under uncertainty, assessments are often expressed in linguistic terms whose meanings can vary significantly between individuals. In this thesis, this variation is modeled through ...
Development of conducting materials as electrodes for biomedical sensors
(English) The cost of healthcare is an increasing concern worldwide, driven by the emergence of new diseases as well as the progression of lifestyle-related conditions. For this reason, expenditure on healthcare-related ...
Analysis of cantilever construction of concrete cable-stayed bridges with time-dependent phenomena
(English) This work presents a study on the construction analysis of cable-stayed bridges built by the cantilever method, with a particular focus on the effects of time-dependent phenomena such as creep and shrinkage. In ...
Excitons in motion: linking structure and transport in energy materials
(English) The growing global energy demand, coupled with the need to reduce CO2 emissions, highlights the urgency of developing sustainable energy solutions. Despite its vast potential, solar energy remains underutilized ...
