Few-shot 3D reconstruction of body parts with deep neural networks
(English) In this thesis, we study the problem of reconstructing objects from a concrete category in 3D when few images are available as input, i.e. less than 10. We apply our findings to digitalizing human body parts such ...
Photonic circuits for wireless applications in the microwave, millimeter wave and terahertz bands
(English) This thesis focuses on the emission, processing and detection of electromagnetic radiation in applications where the use of established technologies may limit the achievable frequency or bandwidth. Leveraging ...
Optimization of the bioplastics production from cyanobacteria
(English) Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is one of the most interesting alternatives to conventional plastics, because it has similar properties to polypropylene, it is more biodegradable than other bioplastics, it has really ...
Multifunctional optical surfaces for optoelectronic devices
(English) Highly transparent optical surfaces with anti-reflection (AR) and self-cleaning properties have the potential to increase performance in a wide range of applications, such as display screens, photovoltaic cells ...
Integration of advanced wastewater treatment and reclamation technologies for organic micropollutants removal and promote water reuse
(English) Climate change and overpopulation are responsible for more frequent droughts, and the imbalance in the water resources management leads to a greater competition in the exploitation of freshwater sources. The ...
Low-power high-channel-count CMOS ROICs for multiplexed arrays of graphene transistors in large-area µECoG
(English) There is an increasing interest on the development of neural interfaces able to decipher the neural activity across multiple regions of the brain. The ultimate goal is understanding how the underlying brain ...
Modeling of emerging organic contaminants during artificial aquifer recharge, transport, degradation and risk associated
(English) Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is a key strategy to increase freshwater resources in many regions facing water scarcity. The success of a MAR facility implies both technical (water quality and quantity as main ...
Cold plasma-derived oxidative stress for osteosarcoma therapy
(English) This thesis is framed in the ERC Starting Grant Project “Atmospheric Pressure plAsma meets biomaterials for bone Cancer HEaling (APACHE)”. The APACHE Project aims at evaluating plasma technology as therapy against ...
Poly(lactic acid) blends and copolyesters with advanced properties for biomedical applications
(English) Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biobased, biodegradable and biocompatible polymer. Because of that, it is a polymer that generates a great interest in the research and development of new advanced materials. Among ...
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
