End-to-end network service orchestration in heterogeneous domains for next-generation mobile networks
5G marks the beginning of a deep revolution in the mobile network ecosystem, transitioning to a network of services to satisfy the demands of new players, the vertical industries. This revolution implies a redesign of the ...
Desarrollo de un modelo avanzado de cálculo acoplado para el análisis del comportamiento en la mar de aerogeneradores flotantes
This thesis covers the implementation of a new tool to solve fluid problems capable of solving free-surface and fluid-solid interfaces. This tool is based on a Semi-Lagrangian Particle Finite Element Method (SL-PFEM) ...
Synthesis and characterization of oxides produced by high temperature corrosion on grade 300 and 350 maraging steels
The aging heat treatments in maraging steels are fundamental to achieving their excellent mechanical properties and, in some applications using oxidation surface treatments lead to induce a superficial layer formed by iron ...
Recomendaciones para el proyecto de puentes de ferrocarril con aparatos de apoyo de núcleo de plomo (LRB) en zonas sísmicas
Railway bridges located at seismic zones are particularly complex structures that present exceptional difficulties due to the existence of the track and the phenomena associated to it called track-bridge interaction. The ...
lntensification of mixing and homogenisation of culture medium in photobioreactors for microalgae production
Due to the large volume of the processed medium in pilot or industrial cultivation systems, it is difficult to illuminate the entire layer of the culture medium, which results in the formation of dark zones. Due to ...
Genomics tools in the cloud: the new frontier in omics data analysis
Substantial technological advancements in next generation sequencing (NGS) have revolutionized the genomic field. Over the last years, the speed and throughput of NGS technologies have increased while their costs have ...
Natural lighting in Mediterranean climates. Visual comfort in top-lit sports halls: from the Barcelona 1992 Olympics to the Tarragona 2018 Mediterranean Games
The role of natural light in the health and wellbeing of users is a central subject to architectural design today. Sustainability and energy efficiency are also leading concerns. Therefore, new and existing buildings must ...
Advancing in the characterization of coastal aquifers : a multimethodological approach based on fiber optics distributed temperature sensing
Detailed characterization of coastal aquifers is essential for proper management of coastal groundwater resources, and coastal areas in general. Still, there is a general lack of systematic monitoring and detailed ...
Geometric computer vision meets deep learning for autonomous driving applications
This dissertation intends to provide theoretical and practical contributions on the development of deep learning algorithms for autonomous driving applications. The research is motivated by the need of deep neural networks ...
Development of mono and multilayer membranes of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene copolymers via cast film extrusion and stretching
This dissertation investigates the three-stage method MEAUS (melt-extrusion, annealing, and uniaxial stretching) for producing microporous membranes. This method for membrane preparation is a solvent-free process based on ...
A study on structure recovery and the broadcasting problem
The thesis contains a study of two problems of combinatorial statistics. The first one is structure learning for partial correlation graphs and the second one is the broadcasting problem on certain families of random ...
El mercado de Querétaro : una visión alternativa cronotópica desde el hoy y desde el lugar
In Mexico, in the city of Santiago de Querétaro, inside the so-called Barrios de la Otra Banda, El Tepetate market is located, which background dates since pre-Hispanic times. The environment of the area denotes a low urban ...
Transmission impairments mitigation in next generation coherent optical access networks
Worldwide, the coherent technologies have revolutionized the optical communication systems, significantly increasing the capacity of the fiber channel owing to transmission of advanced modulation formats and effective ...
Exploring the applications and limitations of location-based social network data in urban spatiotemporal analysis
Nowadays, the widespread utilization of intelligent mobile and located-embedded services extends the border of social network sites (SNS) to physical-spatial space. The appearance of SNS changes our daily life meanwhile ...
Biogás para cocción a partir de la digestión anaerobia de pastos en zonas rurales de clima tropical
Energy for cooking is the most essential energy service for peasants in countries with tropical climates such as Colombia where a large number of families can only access to firewood as energy source. An alternative energy ...
Landslide and debris flow warning at regional scale. A real-time system using susceptibility mapping, radar rainfall and hydrometeorological thresholds
Rainfall triggered shallow slides and debris flows constitute a significant hazard that causes substantial economic losses and fatalities worldwide. Regional-scale risk mitigation for these processes is challenging. ...
Dinàmica orientacional i estructura local en liquids moleculars sobrerefredats
The aim of this thesis is to study, by means of molecular dynamics simulations, the behaviour of two molecular models at different temperatures, approaching the glass transition. One of them mimics methanol molecules, ...
Numerical modelling of viscoelastic flows based on a log-conformation formulation
Viscoelastic fluids are a type of non-Newtonian fluids which are formed by complex internal structures and high-molecular-weight, whose typical examples are the polymer solutions and molten polymers. Also, the viscoleastic ...
Dynamics of quantum mixtures
At sufficiently low temperatures, fluids of bosonic particles may undergo a phase transition, below which a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) forms. The BEC is one of the most fundamental concepts in many-body quantum physics ...
Microfluidic platforms: from 3D printing to µPADs for chemical and biological applications
Over the past decade, microfluidic technology has proven its capabilities to start bringing detection and quantification capacities to novel miniaturized devices. The current generation of microfluidic platforms provide ...
