A paradigm shift of HPC for geosciences: a novel HPC service model for geosciences applications
(English) The Oil and Gas (O&G) industry ranks prominently among the leading commercial users of powerful supercomputers worldwide, as indicated by global High-Performance Computing (HPC) ranking lists, such as TOP500 and ...
Investigación sobre la persistencia, el cambio y la materialidad de la identidad organizacional: entrevistas a expertos y el caso de una empresa centenaria
(English) Context This thesis investigates organizational identity, its persistence and change, and the relationship between identity and material objects. Organizational identity is what the members of an organization ...
Probing magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene with monolithic gate-defined Josephson junctions
(English) In 2018, following a theoretical prediction from 2011, it was found that stacking two layers of graphene with a relative twist angle of 1.1° between them leads to multiple new properties. At this so-called magic ...
Microwave imaging for brain functional monitoring
(English) The use of microwave imaging techniques in medical applications has gained significant interest because of its non-ionizing character, low cost, and body penetrability. Different techniques and systems for microwave ...
Aplicabilidad de la ceniza volcánica de baja actividad como nuevo recurso para materiales cementicios sostenibles
(English) Volcanic ash (VA), abundantly available in various regions globally, serves as an effective supplementary cementitious material (SCM) for partially substituting Portland cement (OPC). However, its inherently low ...
Multi-objective optimization for social multifamily housing: minimizing heating and cooling demand
(English) The field of architecture and engineering is currently experiencing significant changes due to advances in technology and the growing role of Artificial Intelligence. This shift is largely driven by the growing ...
Development of a unified fatigue constitutive model: from high to low cycle regime
(English) n a context in which research lines such as optimised design, smart design, use of new materials, weight reduction, etc. are becoming more and more common in the engineering field, techniques that allow for an ...
Dynamic terrain modeling
(English) This work explores terrain modelling techniques that provide a comprehensive experience in terms of graphical representation, physics interaction and dynamic updates in real-time. In particular, our focus revolves ...
Numerical approximation of thin structures using stabilized mixed formulations for infinitesimal and finite strain theories, including fluid-structure interaction problem applications
(English) The theories of thin structures can be classified into two main branches depending upon whether shear deformation in the transverse direction is taken into consideration or not. In this context, theories accounting ...
IoT semantic-based monitoring of infrastructures using a microservices architecture
(English) The Internet of Things (IoT) is a powerful new paradigm that has the potential to transform the way we live, work, and interact with our surroundings. IoT devices are equipped with sensors, software, and communication ...
A strontium quantum-gas microscope
(English) The development of quantum-gas microscopes has revolutionized the field of quantum simulation with ultracold atoms. More specifically, their ability of direct observation and manipulation of degenerate quantum ...
Microfluidics for biosensing with additive manufacturing: simulation model and fabrication
(English) Over the last decade, biosensing has been moving towards the miniaturized and cost-effective point-of-care (POC) testing. Even though microfluidics is becoming a key enabling technology for POC testing, the need ...
Quantum many-body approaches to non-conventional topological phases of matter
(English) In recent years, the evolution of quantum technologies has resulted in an unprecedented control over individual quantum particles and many-body systems. This remarkable progress has given rise to a new era, marked ...
PyMCGPU-IR: a new tool for patient dose monitoring in interventional radiology procedures
(English) Interventional radiology procedures are associated with potentially high radiation doses to the skin. The 2013/59/EURATOM Directive establishes that the equipment used for interventional radiology must have a ...
Contributions to meshless methodologies for the simulation of acoustic radiation and scattering problems
(English) Meshless methodologies have emerged as a valuable tool in the field of computational acoustics, offering an efficient approach to model complex acoustic phenomena. These innovative numerical techniques offer a ...
Study on the forming limit on shear spinning process
(English) Shear spinning is an incremental sheet metal forming process where a flat metal blank or pre-form is usually converted into an axisymmetric hollow part. Several ductile metals and alloys can be shear formed either ...
Towards a sustainable use of plant protection products in orchards: implementation of canopy-adapted spray technology and new developments for spray efficiency evaluation
(English) The application of Plant protection products (PPP) is one of the most widely used solutions to effectively control pests and diseases during orchard management, guaranteeing the yield and production of fruits. ...
FPGA and ASIC accelerators for genome data analysis
(English) The continuous progress of Moore’s Law in improving single-threaded performance (execution time) through clock frequency and process node improvements has slowed down due to physical limitations in silicon ...
Viscoelastic behavior of high-entropy metallic glasses
(Català) Els vidres metàl·lics, especialment els d'alta entropia, es caracteritzen per la seva microestructura i propietats mecàniques úniques i, a més, permeten investigar la dinàmica de relaxació en materials desordenats ...
Poetas de la arquitectura en Uruguay. Construcciones para la nueva nación, 1894-1914
(English) The present work addresses the brief and complex moment of the turn from the 19th to the 20th century from the perspective of the history of architecture. The objective is to explore the architecture of the end ...
