The application of broadband ultrafast spectroscopy to reveal structural, magnetic and electronic dynamics in quantum materials
In the last decades, quantum materials have received much attention in the field of condensed matter physics due, in part, to their exotic properties. These are difficult to understand as they result from multiple physical ...
Study of the structural behavior of hybrid elements of carbon fiber reinforced polymer and concrete
Creating sustainability and public infrastructure is a fairly recent subject the engineering community has been debating. Introducing new building materials or introducing new structural designs is a strategy for constructing ...
Producción de hidrógeno a partir de amoniaco en reactores de paredes catalíticas
Due to the problems associated with the generation and storage of hydrogen in portable applications, the use of ammonia fer the on-site production of hydrogen through its catalytic decomposition has been proposed. This ...
Spatio-temporal association of physic characteristics and chemical composition of the atmosphere with human mortality data
Air pollution is an environmental challenge that has an important influence on the life of human beings. Therefore, the development, implementation, and evaluation of new statistical approaches will improve the numerical ...
Conducting polymers and hybrid materials for technological applications
Depletion of natural resources and non-renewable energy sources has recently accelerated due to the development of globalized economy and industrialization. During the last years, the scientific community has devoted much ...
Towards LoRa mesh networks for the IoT
There are several LPWAN radio technologies providing wireless communication to the billions of connected devices that form the so-called IoT. Among them, LoRa has emerged in recent years as a popular solution for low power ...
Caracterización de la regresión diurna en ortoqueratología
The first papers on the fitting of ortho-k lenses in ametropic individuals, treatment that allows them to enjoy good vision without the need to wear glasses or contact lenses, were published almost 60 years ago. Both the ...
A machine learning based material homogenization technique for masonry structures
Cutting-edge methods in the computational analysis of structures have been developed over the last decades. Such modern tools are helpful to assess the safety of existing buildings. Two main finite element (FE) modeling ...
Evaluación de planes de electrificación rural y propuesta de planificación con criterios técnicos y sociales
Energy access allows to improve population life quality, specifically in terms of food, education and health. Currently, 10% of the world population does not have electricity. 85% of this population is mainly concentrated ...
Los jardines de los terrenos del agua. Caso de estudio: conurbaciones de Sabadell y Terrassa. Casos de contraste: Nueva Delhi, Málaga, Londres
The theoretical and analytical content of this PhD thesis generates the critical knowledge necessary to affirm that free spaces (or open spaces) are the elements capable of restructuring the contemporary city. Amongst them, ...
Development of a standardized tool to calculate carbon footprint in ports
An important goal to tackle environmental problems and foster sustainable development in the near future is to reduce the generation of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from different industrial sectors including ports. ...
Automated web content personalization in the automotive sector: The SEAT case
Context: Over the last decades, the interest in personalization and, namely, web personalization has grown exponentially, both in industry and in academia. But still, while web personalization is already a standard ...
Life cycle assessment of the cabin waste management in the aviation sector
Air transport, in 2018, was the means of transport chosen by 8.8 billion people around the world. This is a sector that expected continued passenger growth in the following years, but due to the current effects of the ...
