Morral Molto, Eloi (Date of defense: 2021-12-03)
The growth in world population has led to a significant increase in the generation of wastes (solid, liquid and gaseous). Waste gas is probably the major issue in the case of waste treatment, due to the fact that once the ...
Ortiz Ruiz, Antonio (Date of defense: 2021-12-17)
Microalgae culture is currently receiving considerable attention for its potential in wastewater treatment and production of algal biomass from which high-value bioproducts and bioenergy can be obtained, as well as the ...
Rivas Guijarro, Xavier (Date of defense: 2021-12-17)
Many important theories in modern physics can be stated using the tools of differential geometry. It is well known that symplectic geometry is the natural framework to deal with autonomous Hamiltonian mechanics. This admits ...
Quispe Coica, Filimon Alejandro (Date of defense: 2021-12-14)
Access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services is closely linked to public health. The benefits of having safe WASH are vast. The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) estimates of the population accessing ...
Miranda Briones, Ricardo (Date of defense: 2021-12-01)
Tree rings play a relevant role for the reconstruction of climatic variables on centuries or millennia-scale. In the presence of anthropogenic climate change, and in the absence of extensive meteorological records, ...
Larco Barros, Ciro Mauricio (Date of defense: 2021-12-15)
In this research work, a non-linear technique called Minimum Controller Synthesis (MCS) is presented. This is a variant of the Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC), which has the main advantage of requiring very little ...
Jiménez Torres, Adrià (Date of defense: 2021-12-22)
The design rules on Reduced Beam Sections (RBS) are covered in the Eurocodes in EN1998-3 as a possible solution to improve rotation capacity of beams for the retrofit of existing structures. The design rules are very similar ...
Herrera, Yago (Date of defense: 2021-12-15)
The study of stellar winds (SW) in the context of X-ray bursts (XRB) performed in this thesis has two main motivating issues. The first is whether or not the heavy elements produced from nucleosynthesis in XRBs can escape ...
Fernández Sánchez, Pablo Gonzalo (Date of defense: 2021-12-20)
Reinforced concrete members, especially when subjected to concentrated loads, can fail in shear. This is an undesirable and brittle failure mode preventing the structure from deforming and reaching higher load levels. It ...
Coulson, Matthew John (Date of defense: 2021-12-13)
We consider some models of random graphs and directed graphs and investigate their behavior near thresholds for the appearance of certain types of connected components. Firstly, we look at the critical window for the ...
Germano, Nicola (Date of defense: 2021-12-14)
This thesis aims to propose and validate an innovative, fully open-source framework capable of performing multiscale analysis for the assessment of local wind flows within the urban fabric. Each part of the framework is ...
López Ruiz, Luis Alberto (Date of defense: 2021-12-02)
Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is a major environmental concern that requires immediate attention. The large volumes of CDW produced and its associated environmental effects have led to explore new alternatives ...
Sotoca García, Adolfo (Date of defense: 2006-06-07)
The dissertation focuses on the study of the morphology of modern city from the analysis of the free space. This research aims to provide original and unpublished elements in this issue. The following work finds its ...
Ciancico, Carlotta (Date of defense: 2021-12-09)
Quantum nanophotonics aims at studying the interaction between matter and single photons at the nanoscale. Nanoscopic solid state light sources can be placed in near proximity to other photonic elements to engineer their ...
Ballén Zamora, Sergio (Date of defense: 2021-12-10)
NetZero Energy Buildings or buildings with almost zero energy consumption, are buildings with high energy performance in terms of operational energy, and which also seek to reduce their CO2 emissions in addition to other ...
Superchi, Cecilia (Date of defense: 2021-01-21)
Editorial peer review is the gateway to scientific publication. It was established to ensure that research papers were vetted by independent experts before they are published. Despite the importance of this process, its ...
Vrioni, Brikena (Date of defense: 2021-10-29)
An algebraic variety defined over a field is said to have Diophantine stability for an extension of this field if the variety does not acquire new points in the extension. Diophantine stability has a growing interest due ...
Pumarola Peris, Albert (Date of defense: 2021-10-13)
3D reconstruction and image synthesis are two of the main pillars in computer vision. Early works focused on simple tasks such as multi-view reconstruction and texture synthesis. With the spur of Deep Learning, the field ...
Vallès Casanova, Ignasi (Date of defense: 2021-10-19)
The upper ocean circulation is the area of confluence of two major vertical cells: the large-scale overturning Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the regional relatively shallow Subtropical Cells (STCs). ...
Soto, Alicia (Date of defense: 2021-11-04)
The main theme of this work revolves around the CO2 molecule, a stable waste gas of low value, low energy and often available in large quantities in different places. This work examines some viable avenues for capturing, ...
