Towards a domain specific language for computational fluid dynamics in HPC
(English) High-Performance Computing (HPC) evolves vertiginously. Supercomputers are increasingly powerful and complex machines that require deep expertise to be well-exploited. Currently, scientists develop HPC codes ...
Comprehensive monitoring of the injured brain by hybrid diffuse optics: towards brain-oriented theranostics
(English) In the intensive care, the multimodal monitoring of the patient is crucial. The systemic physiology is routinely and comprehensively monitored but the practical monitoring of the brain is lacking. Hybrid diffuse ...
Harnessing memristor circuits and device variability in emergent computing applications
(English) Nowadays, due to the increasing amount of information and its demanding processing, conventional CMOS technology and von Neumann computing architecture struggle to keep pace, as they meet their respective limitations ...
Development of an in vitro three-dimensional colorectal cancer model using cell-derived extracellular matrices
(English) Oncogenic pathologies are the second leading cause of death worldwide only after cardiovascular diseases. It is estimated that, by 2030, the number of patients diagnosed with this disease will increase by nearly ...
Enhancing maintenance and energy efficiency in smart manufacturing processes through non-intrusive monitoring strategies
(English) Concern about energy efficiency has increased in the industry, mainly motivated by rising energy prices and government policies to raise awareness of environmental impact. For this reason, this thesis is dedicated ...
Silicio macroporoso para cristales fotónicos y otras aplicaciones avanzadas
(English) This thesis deals with the study of macroporous silicon structures and their application to different technological areas. Macroporous silicon is a material that was described, in the form in which it is used in ...
Modelo sistémico del proceso proyectual para una ingeniería que diseña mediante materiales avanzados
(English) The engineering design process uses a systemic model that stands out for a common pattern that has evolved from Archer (1968), through French (1985), Nigel Cross (2000) and Michael F. Ashby (2009). Although in ...
Análisis de las redes sociales y sus variables de las universidades públicas y privadas de España
(English) In the competitive situation in which higher education institutions find themselves, marketing is an essential tool used to differentiate and attract students. Due to the mass use of the Internet and social ...
Nanotechnology-based approaches for bone tissue engineering
(English) Substantial research efforts in the field of tissue engineering have been done in the recent years to overcome the bone regeneration limitations of the human body and to treat bone-related pathologies like ...
Zirconium oxide conversion coating and biobased organic coatings for aluminum protection
(English) During the past century the way humans relate to the environment has undergone important changes, and currently it is a global consensus that our well-being should not be achieved at the expense of enlarging our ...
Experimental investigation of the influence of hydrodynamic cavitation on heat generation
(English) The fresh water scarcity has become a concern for societies as a result of the scientific evidence about climate change and the intensive human activities. Thermal separation is one of the best available techniques ...
El corte vertical y las casas modernas en las laderas de Quito (1960 - 1985)
(English) Modern architecture arrived in Quito through a complex process of assimilation of the lessons and values that emerged in Western Europe and the United States in the early 20th and late 19th centuries. The location ...
Drive systems optimization in electric, hybrid and fuel cell vehicles
(English) We are currently immersed in the fourth industrial revolution that involves, among others, technology to prevent climate change, transformation of the transport sector, digitization and artificial intelligence. ...
Super-resolution and semantic segmentation of remote sensing images using deep learning techniques
(English) Remote sensing for Earth observation is a growing scientific field essential for many human activities. Among the different applications in the Remote Sensing domain, the production of thematic maps, such as Land ...
Methodologies for improving groundwater access in rural areas: towards the improvement of human development in low and middle-income countries
(English) Sustainable groundwater management in rural areas presents multifaceted challenges stemming from hydrogeological complexities, socio-economic disparities, and governance issues. This thesis aims to provide ...
Optimization and geometry for quantum information tasks
(English) In this thesis, we study the optimization of operational tasks that involve the manipulation of quantum resources. In most cases, such optimizations are aided by understanding the geometric properties of the ...
Generative models for the automatic recognition of reactive and abnormal peripheral blood cells with diagnosis purposes
(English) Clinical pathologists focus on detailed morphological analysis of peripheral blood (PB) cells for the recognition of abnormal cells and contribute to the diagnosis of hematological diseases. While this traditional ...
