Compact binary millisecond pulsars: X-ray observations and numerical simulations
(English) The thesis deals with millisecond pulsars (MSPs), a fascinating group of neutron stars distinguished by their exceptionally fast rotation periods (Ps < 30 milliseconds) and their strong magnetic fields (of the ...
Design of service-purpose-vehicles through the sense of smell
(English) This thesis arose from the need to design new tools that enable a better control of indoor air quality in vehicles. Even though indoor air quality has been widely explored in buildings, this topic has often been ...
Misbehaviour detection and trustworthy collaboration in vehicular communication networks
(English) The integration of advanced wireless technologies, e.g., cellular and IEEE 802.11p, in modern vehicles enables vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, fostering the next-generation Internet-of-Vehicles (IoV). ...
Computational fluid dynamic (CFD) study of polymer microencapsulation processes
(English) Microencapsulation process of polymers and biopolymer is the most important technique in a polymer industry to make it unique and applicable in various fields of daily life. When it comes to the accuracy of the ...
Transcranial diffuse optical measurements of pulsatility derived parameters for neuromonitoring applications
(English) Diffuse optics are non-invasive and continuous techniques using near-infrared light which allow for comfortable bed-site monitoring of microvascular cerebral hemodynamics, oxygenation and metabolism. Here, diffuse ...
Novel mHealth and multimodal physiological biomarkers for non-invasive monitoring and home healthcare of obstructive sleep apnea and COPD patients with comorbidities
(English) Sleep is a physiological state of rest that occupies one-third of a person’s daily activity and has health consequences. Poor sleep disrupts concentration and productivity and increases the odds of developing ...
Natural language processing methods for document-based requirements specification and validation tasks
(English) Requirements engineering (RE) is fundamental to successful software development, especially in modern, large-scale projects. Efficient management of text-based artefacts is key to accurate elicitation, refinement, ...
Tendencias y dinámica de los episodios de contaminación por ozono troposférico en España
(English) Tropospheric ozone (O3) is a secondary gaseous photochemical pollutant with adverse effects on health, ecosystems, and materials, and it contributes to the greenhouse effect. 94% of the urban population in Europe ...
Study of the accommodation during refraction: development of new methodologies for accurate refractions
(English) Uncorrected refractive error is the main cause of visual impairment worldwide, with its incidence being even bigger in developing countries, where access to eye care is severely limited, mainly due to a shortage ...
Ecosystem modelling for the ocean decade - facing the challenge
(English) The worlds’marine ecosystems are degrading under wide ranges of ever intensifying, diversifying and co-occurring human pressures. Ecosystem-based management (EBM) approaches have emerged as an alternative to ...
Implementation of personalized medicine in malignant melanoma patients aided by artificial intelligence
(English) Skin cancer, characterised by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells, poses a significant global health challenge. Melanoma, its most aggressive form, is particularly concerning due to its rapid metastasis ...
