Arquitectura brutalista en Quito 1960.1980: disección gráfica de una historia en concreto
In Ecuador, the adoption and consolidation of international architectural styles has been historically executed within a late period, it has even started to exist, when in the places of their origin these approaches have ...
Assessing interventions to improve adherence to reporting guidelines in biomedical research
The lack of transparency and accuracy of research reports has been pointed out as one of the main factors causing research waste. Reporting guidelines (RGs) are sets of recommendations for authors on how to report research ...
Enabling knowledge-defined networks : deep reinforcement learning, graph neural networks and network analytics
Significant breakthroughs in the last decade in the Machine Learning (ML) field have ushered in a new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Particularly, recent advances in Deep Learning (DL) have enabled to develop a new ...
Exploiting frame coherence in real-time rendering for energy-efficient GPUs
The computation capabilities of mobile GPUs have greatly evolved in the last generations, allowing real-time rendering of realistic scenes. However, the desire for processing complex environments clashes with the ...
Hydro-mechanical analysis of expansive clays : constitutive and numerical modelling.
Bentonite-based materials are being currently considered in several countries as a backfill component in the multi-barrier concept for deep geological disposal of radioactive waste. The bentonite barrier fulfils several ...
Data analytics for mobile traffic in 5G networks using machine learning techniques
This thesis collects the research works I pursued as Ph.D. candidate at the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC). Most of the work has been accomplished at the Mobile Network Department Centre Tecnologic de ...
El lugar de la representación en el campo arquitectónico : un problema de distancia
Interaction between inhabitant and architecture is based mainly on the work's physical occupation of space. However, there are other, less tangible, ways to approach the discipline. Architecture is also a field of cultural ...
Influence of agricultural practices on the microbiome and the antibiotic resistance gene complement in soils, plants, and crops
Antibiotic (AB) Resistance is an increasing global problem for public health, with multi-resistant bacteria persisting and spreading not only in clinical settings but also in the environment. One of the possible vectors ...
A novel assessment of unintentional islanding operations in distribution networks
This thesis aims to investigate an unexpected islanding operation (IO) which has been identified in a real distribution network. The process of recording and processing the data obtained from the field measurements in the ...
Contribution to the traffc engineering in wireless mesh networks
Nowadays, we live in a modern society in which people and devices are interconnected anywhere and anytime. Under this premise, both the infrastructure and the services offered have evolved and diversified in a drastic way. ...
Reliability-aware circuit design to mitigate impact of device defects and variability in emerging memristor-based applications
In the last decades, semiconductor industry has fostered a fast downscale in technology, propelling the large scale integration of CMOS-based systems. The benefits in miniaturization are numerous, highlighting faster ...
Development and application of localization-based microscopy methods to study the structure and dynamics of chromatin through the process of cellular differentiation
Recent advancements in single-molecule localization-based microscopy have made it possible to visualize biological structures and dynamic processes within the cell with unprecedented spatial resolution. Determining the ...
Microfluidic platform for multiple parameters readouts in a point-of-care
The research is motivated by real applications, such as pasteurization plant, water networks and autonomous system, which each of them require a specific control system to provide proper management able to take into account ...
Security strategies in genomic files
There are new mechanisms to sequence and process the genomic code, discovering thus diagnostic tools and treatments. The file for a sequenced genome can reach hundreds of gigabytes. Thus, for further studies, we need new ...
Bernstein-Sato polynomial of plane curves and Yano's conjecture
The main aim of this thesis is the study of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of plane curve singularities. In this context, we prove a conjecture posed by Yano about the generic b-exponents of a plane irreducible curve. In ...
Design and optimization of metro-access networks supporting 5G services
The Internet data traffic constant growth caused by the popularization of cloud services, mobile and social networks, demand changes to the networks in order to enable scalable growth in traffic volume, while supporting a ...
