Kiesenhofer, Anna (Date of defense: 2016-12-21)
The study of b-symplectic manifolds was initiated in 2012 by the works of Victor Guillemin, Eva Miranda and Ana Rita Pires (Adv. Math. 264 (2014), 864¿896). These manifolds, which can be understood as symplectic manifolds ...
Aguareles Carrero, Maria (Date of defense: 2007-07-23)
Molts sistemes físics tenen la propietat que la seva dinàmica ve definida per algun tipus de difussió espaial en competició amb un fenòmen de reacció, com per exemple en el cas de dos components químics que reaccionen al ...
Somoza Henares, Anna (Date of defense: 2019-03-28)
Given an elliptic curve E over the complex numbers (CC) given by y^2 = x^3 + ax + b, there exists a lattice L in CC such that the group E(CC) of complex points on E is isomorphic to the complex analytic group CC/L. This ...
Martínez Pinilla, Ramiro (Date of defense: 2023-09-29)
(English) The main goal of this dissertation is to develop new lattice-based cryptographic schemes. Most of the cryptographic protocols that each and every one of us use on a daily basis are only secure under the assumption ...
Córdoba Pañella, Paula (Date of defense: 2022-04-22)
This thesis aims at improving the convergence of iterative solvers, used for algebraic systems coming from the discretization of partial differential equations (PDE), in the context of large scale simulations and high ...
Muixí Ballonga, Alba (Date of defense: 2020-11-30)
This thesis proposes a new computational model for the efficient simulation of crack propagation, through the combination of a phase-field model in small subdomains around crack tips and a discontinuous model in the rest ...
Costa Miranda, Núria (Date of defense: 2021-04-14)
This PhD thesis focuses on lattice-based cryptography and how to apply it to build post-quantum online voting systems. It is the result of the research done by the author at Scytl in close collaboration with Dr. Paz Morillo, ...
Font i Reverter, Jordi (Date of defense: 2023-06-08)
(English) During development, cellular tissues undergo dramatic reconfigurations as a result of organized flows driven by active forces. Depending on the system, cellular flows and active forces can be understood from a ...
Barceló Mercader, Jordi (Date of defense: 2023-09-08)
(English) Flexoelectricity is a two-way coupling between strain gradient and polarisation or strain and polarization-gradient. Harnessing flexoelectricity as a functional property requires gradient engineering. This is a ...
Ribera Ponsa, Helena (Date of defense: 2018-03-16)
In this thesis we study diffusion processes of nanoparticle evolution and develop appropriate models with the aim of being able to optimise their functions according to the needs of industry. Two distinct diffusion processes ...
Chahare, Nimesh Ramesh (Date of defense: 2023-06-20)
(English) Epithelial sheets form specialized 3D structures suited to their physiological roles, such as branched alveoli in the lungs, tubes in the kidney, and villi in the intestine. To generate and maintain these structures, ...
Aparicio Estrems, Guillermo (Date of defense: 2023-04-26)
(English) To enhance the simulation accuracy when the solution presents sharp curved features, the community of high-order methods has started to curve not only the boundary but also the interior of unstructured high-order ...
Merillas Santos, Iván (Date of defense: 2007-02-22)
This thesis is concerned with the modeling and numerical study of nonsmooth dynamical systems (NSDS). The first part of the thesis deals with the modeling of some DC-DC power converters using the complementarity formalism. ...
Monreal, Amadeo (Date of defense: 2001-12-17)
En primer lloc, s'evidencia que el disseny que involucra grafisme es pot analitzar com articulat en dos nivells o etapes, un de concepció, intel·lectual, i un altre d'execució, manual o físic, ambdós sempre en interrelació ...
Hierro Fabregat, Alba (Date of defense: 2016-11-28)
The main object of study of this thesis is the development of artificial diffusion shock capturing techniques for continuous and discontinuous Galerkin (cG and dG) approximations of the convection-diffusion problem. Special ...
López-Yunta, Mariña (Date of defense: 2018-07-30)
After a myocardial infarction, the affected areas of the cardiac tissue suffer changes in their electrical and mechanical properties. This post-infarction scar tissue has been related with a particular type of arrhythmia: ...
Venturini, Chiara (Date of defense: 2022-07-22)
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 ...
Gaset Rifà, Jordi (Date of defense: 2018-07-25)
The theories of gravity are one of the most important topics in theoretical physics and mathematical physics nowadays. The classical formulation of gravity uses the Hilbert-Einstein Lagrangian, which is a singular ...
Braddell, Róisín (Date of defense: 2021-02-17)
In this thesis, we study the application of symplectic geometry, regular and singular, to symplectic dynamical systems.We start with a motivating case: the relation between symplectic foliations and global transverse ...
Jiménez Ramos, Albert (Date of defense: 2023-06-28)
(English) To simulate unsteady phenomena on complex moving geometry, computational scientists and engineers have been interested in unstructured space-time discretizations. These space-time discretizations aim to overcome ...
