Contextualización de la enseñanza de las matemáticas en las carreras tecnológicas
The teaching of Mathematics has been always a matter of great concern at all academic levels and more especially in technological degrees. Both the contents of mathematical subjects and the way they are taught, have been ...
Optimization on industrial problems focussing on multi-player strategies
Algorithms (EA) are useful optimization methods for exploration of the search space, but they usually have slowness problems to exploit and converge to the minimum with accuracy. On the other hand, gradient based methods ...
Detection of particles, bacteria and viruses using consumer optoelectronic components
The focus of this thesis is on the design, development and validation of two novel photonic sensors for the detection and characterisation of industrial and biological samples. The first one is a PSA in a collimated beam ...
Design and implementation of rural microgrids : Laguna Grande case study
In 2015 the United Nations established the 17 Sustainable Development Goals: a set of interrelated objectives and a guide to reach a more sustainable and higher quality future for all humanity. The goals were set with a ...
Real-time high-performance computing for embedded control systems
The real-time control systems industry is moving towards the consolidation of multiple computing systems into fewer and more powerful ones, aiming for a reduction in size, weight, and power. The increasing demand for higher ...
Simulació 2D/3D de cèl.lules solars de silici de contactes posteriors
In order to optimize photovoltaic conversion efficiency, various solar cell architectures based on monocrystalline silicon (c-Si) have emerged in the past. Solar cells with interdigitated back contacts IBC (Interdigitated ...
Digital transformation and business models in maritime trade supply chains
rmation, and the adoption of certain business models in the context of the maritime trade supply chain industry. Most specifically, it enquires the impact that the former might have on the latter. The question’s relevance ...
Comercialización de innovaciones disruptivas. Actividades e indicadores clave en la fase de aceleración
Context. The current industrial and corporate ecosystem is heavily conditioned both by the technological advances and by the existence of globalized and interconnected markets. Consequently, this makes it highly dynamic ...
La Seu Episcopal d’Ègara : el projecte d’un conjunt cristià al segle V
The aim of this research about built heritage is to understand how were the buildings placed in the monumental ensemble of Saint Peter of Terrassa configured, from middle 5th century to second half of the 6th century. To ...
Mobile 5G millimeter-wave multi-antenna systems
Massive antenna architectures and millimeter-wave bands appear on the horizon as the enabling technologies of future broadband wireless links, promising unprecedented spectral efficiency and data rates. In the recently ...
Efficient sharing mechanisms for virtualized multi-tenant heterogeneous networks
The explosion in data traffic, the physical resource constraints, and the insufficient financial incentives for deploying 5G networks, stress the need for a paradigm shift in network upgrades. Typically, operators are also ...
Multiscale clutch models for cell mechanics
Integrin-based cell adhesion is a key mechanism in fundamental biological processes such as cell migration and wound healing, and in diseases like osteoporosis and cancer. For example, during migration, cells form adhesion ...
Remaining useful life and fault detection models for high voltage electrical connectors focused on predictive maintenance
In recent years, industries have chosen to invest in technology with the aim of making their processes more efficient and thus offering market products of higher quality. Nowadays it is very common for companies to use ...
Network-based ionospheric gradient monitoring to support ground based augmentation systems
The Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is a local-area, airport-based augmentation of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) that provides precision approach guidance for aircraft. It enhances GNSS performance ...
Controlling interactions in quantum materials : from a microscopic description to quantum simulation
The last decades have witnessed impressive technical advances in all the fields of quantum science, including solid-state systems or atomic, molecular, and optical physics, allowing one to control materials at the microscopic ...
Causal inference and forescasting methods for climate data nalysis
To advance time series forecasting we need to progress on multiple fronts. In this thesis, we develop algorithms to identify causal relations which allow to identify the driving processes containing useful information for ...
Sustainability, durability and mechanical characterization of a new recycled textile-reinforced strain-hardening cementitious composite for building applications
Cementitious materials have one of the highest compressive strength-to-weight ratios compared to other construction materials. Nonetheless, both tensile strength capacity and toughness result to be an order of magnitude ...
Vessel Traffic Services, towards e-Navigation : the role of Oceanic VTS in global maritime surveillance
This thesis presents the study and analysis of the Vessel Traffic Services (VTS), from its origins to the present, with further evaluation of future trends. Examining the current trend in terms of technologies that are ...
A socio-technical approach for assistants in human-robot collaboration in industry 4.0
