Juha Leiviskä : una aproximación fenomenológica a su arquitectura
The interest in the impact of architecture on its inhabitants and their perception of space lead to question how the spatial experience is considered during the project phase to understand the influence of project decisions ...
Human-aware application of data science techniques
In recent years there has been an increase in the use of artificial intelligence and other data-based techniques to automate decision-making in companies, and discover new knowledge in research. In many cases, all this has ...
Tecnologia BIM 5D : noves tècniques per a un nou model arquitectònic
There is ample evidence to show that in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector, implementation is underway of the Building Information Modelling (BIM) methodology, which is changing the way architectural ...
Models de priorització d'inversions utilitzant criteris de desenvolupament sostenible
This Doctoral Thesis addresses aspects of interest for hydraulic infrastructure managers, such as investment decision support tools, in order to provide both decision support and the justification tools which are required ...
Consideraciones relativas al diseño y a la alta durabilidad de dovelas de hormigón reforzado con fibras no metálicas (HRFnM)
The use of the fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) as a construction material has expanded beyond the traditional applications since the publication of design codes and structural guidelines. Fibre reinforced concrete for ...
Nanomaterials for controlling bacterial pathogens and resistance occurrence
lnfectious diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide while the constantly raising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major concern for the public health. During the infection establishment bacteria! pathogens ...
Learning multilingual and multimodal representations with language-specific encoders and decoders for machine translation
This thesis aims to study different language-specific approaches for Multilingual Machine Translation without parameter sharing and their properties compared to the current state-of-the-art based on parameter-sharing. We ...
Estudio de la evaporación de vertidos de disoluciones acuosas de amoníaco
Evaporation from liquid spills is a phenomenon of great importance. This phenomenon has been studied by a number of researchers. However, most of them have focused on the evaporation of pure liquid spills or hydrocarbon ...
Optomechanical resonators based on low dimensional materials
Mechanical resonators based on low dimensional materials have attracted a lot of attention due to their remarkable properties. Their ultra-low mass and high Q factors make them exceptional sensors, offering new possibilities ...
Methodology for the evaluation and design of projects considering multiple criteria and uncertainty : application to the development of energy projects in rural areas
In 2015, the United Nations defined the Sustainable Development Goals in a transition towards a world without poverty and where human rights, equity and sustainability are prioritized. In particular, modern energy services ...
Spinor Bose-Einstein comagnetometer and interhyperfine interactions in 87Rb
In this work we demonstrate the first realization of a comagnetormeter in the ultracold regime. In comparison to regular magnetometers, which are designed to maximize their magnetic field sensitivity, a comagnetometer uses ...
Developing a parametric system for pointe shoe customization
A Pointe Shoe is worn by ballet dancers while performing “en pointe”. This fundamental ballet technique, which is performed by rising to the tips of the toes, enables dancers to create the illusion of incredible lightness ...
A versatile system for the study of light-matter interactions at the level of individual particles
In this thesis, a single-atom trap in a "Maltese cross'' geometry (MCG) was designed, built up and characterized. A MCG atom trap uses four in-vacuum lenses to achieve four-directional high-numerical-aperture optical ...
Walking with virtual humans : understanding human response to virtual humanoids' appearance and behaviour while navigating in immersive VR
In this thesis, we present a set of studies whose results have allowed us to analyze how to improve the realism, navigation, and behaviour of the avatars in an immersive virtual reality environment. In our simulations, ...
El vol de l'ararauna : arquitectura de Xavier Busquets Sindreu entre São Paulo i Barcelona (1947-1963)
This thesis explores the life and works of the Catalan architect Xavier Busquets Sindreu (1917-1990), focusing on his earlier professional stages, the exceptional training he acquired in São Paulo between 1951 and 1955, ...
Sag effects on protection system in distributed generation grids
Distributed Generators (DGs) are sensible to voltage sags, so the protection devices must trip fast to disconnect the faulted part of the grid. The DG disconnection will not be desirable in the near future with a large ...
Data-driven methodologies for evaluation and recommendation of energy efficiency measures in buildings. Applications in a big data environment
In order to reach the goal set in the Paris agreement of limiting the rise in global average temperature well below 2 ºC compared to pre-industrial levels, massive efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions are ...
Morpho-functionality of the toothed whale external ear canal
While marine, anthropogenic noise pollution is a scientific and societal matter of concern, there is limited knowledge on how sea animals, particularly cetaceans, perceive their environment through sounds. Toothed whales, ...
Collaborative social robot navigation in accompanying and approaching tasks
Our society is evolving to include robots in our daily lives. Therefore, it is necessary to develop robots capable of collaborating with people to carry out daily tasks, for example: accompanying, searching, transporting, ...
Probabilistic and extremal studies in additive combinatorics
The results in this thesis concern extremal and probabilistic topics in number theoretic settings. We prove sufficient conditions on when certain types of integer solutions to linear systems of equations in binomial ...
