Tozzi, Caterina (Date of defense: 2021-04-30)
Organelles are the smallest functional parts of eukaryotic cells. Among them, some are membrane-bound such as the nucleus, the endoplasmic reticulum, or the Golgi apparatus, each of them with essential biological functions. ...
Porro Martorell, Olga (Date of defense: 2021-04-07)
Multiple-criteria or multiple-attribute group decision-making is a sub-field of operations research that seek to find a common and representative solution given the preferences elicited by a pre-defined group, over a set ...
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, ...
Gatti, Francesca (Date of defense: 2021-03-19)
Let E be an elliptic curve defined over the field of rational numbers and let f be the corresponding newform of weight 2. Let g,h be two weight one newforms whose nebentype characters are mutually inverse. Let V be the ...
Rivero Salgado, Óscar (Date of defense: 2021-02-12)
The main objective of this dissertation is the exploration of certain arithmetic applications of the Euler systems of Beilinson--Flach elements and diagonal cycles. Euler systems have been proved to be a very powerful tool ...
Latorre Ibars, Ernest (Date of defense: 2021-02-19)
Fundamental processes in development and physiology are determined by the three-dimensional architecture of epithelial sheets. How these sheets deform and fold into complex structures has remained unclear, however, because ...
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 ...
Planas Bahí, Arnau (Date of defense: 2020-09-30)
This thesis explores classification and perturbation problems for group actions on a class of Poisson manifolds called $b^m$-Poisson manifolds. $b^m$-Poisson manifolds are manifolds which are symplectic away from a ...
Chrysokentis, Georgios (Date of defense: 2019-04-03)
This thesis develops a large eddy simulation framework for engineering applications using the finite element method. It focuses on the numerical formulation, the wall modelling approach as well as the generation of turbulent ...
Agis Cherta, David (Date of defense: 2020-12-21)
This thesis describes a structural health monitoring (SHM) strategy to detect and classify changes in structures that can be equipped with sensors. SHM is an area of great interest, because its main objective is to verify ...
Domènech i Blàzquez, Margarita (Date of defense: 2020-11-24)
The first part of this thesis focuses on cooperative games and specifically on the study of semivalues and probabilistic values. Each semivalue, as a solution concept defined on cooperative games with a finite set of ...
Oms, Cédric (Date of defense: 2020-10-02)
In this thesis, we study the Reeb and Hamiltonian dynamics on singular symplectic and contact manifolds. Those structures are motivated by singularities coming from classical mechanics and fluid dynamics. We start by ...
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 ...
Martínez Barona, Berenice (Date of defense: 2020-09-14)
The main subject of this PhD thesis is the study of (1,=l)-identifying codes in digraphs. The results presented in this work are divided into three parts. The first one focusses on the structural properties of digraphs ...
Fanelli, Claudia (Date of defense: 2020-09-15)
Es conocido que muchas propiedades de las nanopartículas, como la luminiscencia, la fotoestabilidad, la eficiencia de la radiación óptica y las propiedades eléctricas, dependen del tamaño. Por lo tanto, la capacidad de ...
Spiegel, Christoph (Date of defense: 2020-07-03)
Arithmetic Combinatorics, Combinatorial Number Theory, Structural Additive Theory and Additive Number Theory are just some of the terms used to describe the vast field that sits at the intersection of Number Theory and ...
Cano Vila, María del Pilar (Date of defense: 2020-06-25)
This thesis studies different generalizations of Delaunay triangulations, both from a combinatorial and algorithmic point of view. The Delaunay triangulation of a point set S, denoted DT(S), has vertex set S. An edge uv ...
Blanco Fernández, Guillem (Date of defense: 2020-04-16)
The main aim of this thesis is the study of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of plane curve singularities. In this context, we prove a conjecture posed by Yano about the generic b-exponents of a plane irreducible curve. In ...
Roy, Mallika (Date of defense: 2020-02-12)
This work is based on the family of groups Z^m x F_n, namely free-abelian times free groups, direct products of finitely many copies of Z and a finitely generated free group F_n. These are a special type of right-angled ...
Miraglio, Pietro (Date of defense: 2020-01-28)
My thesis deals with the study of elliptic PDE. It is divided into two parts, the first one concerning a nonlinear equation involving the p-Laplacian, and the second one focused on a nonlocal problem. In the first part, ...
