Convergence of high performance computing, big data, and machine learning applications on containerized infrastructures
(English) The convergence of High Performance Computing (HPC), Big Data (BD), and Machine Learning (ML) in the computing continuum is being pursued in earnest across the academic and industry. We envision virtualization ...
Lignocellulosic wastes and chitosan composites applied to recover rare earth elements by liquid-solid separation
(English) Rare earths elements (REE) are crucial elements to the future of technology, particularly to the power generation and road transport. One of the most sustainable processes to recover rare earths is biosorption. ...
Machine learning algorithms for 5G optical networks
(English) Throughout this thesis we addressed 5G network challenges. The non-coherent optical modulation tradeoff has been addressed, as we proposed FBMC and artificial intelligence-based schemes. The proposed schemes ...
Software diagnostics for autonomous safety-critical control-systems based on artificial intelligence
(English) Machine Learning (ML) systems allow the efficient implementation of functionalities that can be hard to program by traditional software due to the high spectrum of inputs that hinder the definition of a specific ...
Development of models to evaluate the potential of building roofs to reduce air pollution: application to the case of Tehran
(English) Environmental protection is a principle of both Millennium Development Goals and sustainable development, underscoring critical issues like greenhouse gases, global warming, and air pollution. Air pollution is a ...
Estrategias de diseño bioclimático para una vivienda popular en clima cálido-húmedo de México : protección solar, ventilación y técnicas de deshumidificación

Data-driven information-theoretic tools under a second-order statistics perspective
(English) A great deal is known about second-order statistics. For many years, most of the signal processing problems have been addressed under the perspective of the first and second-order moments of the data, known to ...
Scaling deep learning workloads. Applications in computer vision and seismology
(English) Deep learning techniques have an enormous impact on the state-of-the-art in many fields, such as computer vision, natural language processing, audio analysis and synthesis, and many others. The increasing computing ...
Spazi e corpi architettonici di Enric Miralles : pensieri e costruzioni guardando a progetti italiani
(English) This thesis is the result of the intuitions, the same ones, but in a different form, that have guided the Spanish architect Enric Miralles throughout his short but prolific career. Intuitions that give rise to ...
Topology optimization of incompressible structures for fluid-structure interaction problems
(English) Topology optimization of incompressible structures, in which the loads on the structure come from the stresses exerted by a surrounding fluid, is a highly complex problem. This work presents a compilation of the ...
On the evaluation of mixing in heterogeneous porous media: from laboratory characterization to the design of engineered chaotic flows for practical application
(English) Groundwater is now under high stress levels and its quality and quantity arise as one of the most interesting and necessary topics our community should address. This doctoral thesis is focused on the quality of ...
Marco de referencia para la planificación y desarrollo continuo de la comunicación de riesgos y crisis frente a amenazas en Sudamérica
(English) Research on risk communication and crisis communication (RC&C) is a crucial aspect to foster population resilience in the face of major hazards, especially in developing economies where there are greater social ...
Understanding investor reaction to sustainability news in energy companies: fossil vs renewable vs nuclear, tone effects, and COVID-19 impacts through a multi-study approach using event study metholology
(English) This thesis provides empirical evidence, with an unprecedented sample size, that sustainability news moves the stock market, particularly positive news related to fossil fuels. The findings confirm that there is ...
Energy management systems for smart homes and local energy communities based on optimization and artificial intelligence techniques
