The information about how, when, and where are produced the proteins has been one of the major challenge in molecular biology. The studies about the control of the gene expression are essential in order to have a better ...
Parkinson’s disease (PD). It is characterized by brief episodes of inability to step, or by extremely short steps that typically occur on gait initiation or on turning while walking. The consequences of FOG are aggravated ...
This thesis can be summarized in the following sentence: All scientific models, for instance structural atlases of brain MRI, can be read in terms of fuzzy extensional sets. The work done in this doctoral thesis backs up ...
En aquesta tesi s'han realitzat una sèrie d'experiments per tal de cercar, identificar, caracteritzar i comparar diversos mètodes d'obtenció de vistes d'objectes reals per aplicacions interactives de realitat augmentada, ...
The following dissertation presents the contributions of the author in the field of human movement analysis and, specifically, in Parkinson's disease. Recent technologies have allowed developing reduced inertial sensors ...
The effective disinfection in chlorination tanks of drinking water treatment plants depends on many factors that must be taken into account when designing a suitable control system. The chemical characteristics of the water ...
This thesis presents sorne contributions to the field of Health-Aware Control (HAC) of dynamic systems. In the first part of this thesis, a review of the concepts and methodologies related to reliability versus degradation ...
This thesis is framed within the field of red biotechnology and more specifically in the development of bioprocesses for cell species that feature some therapeutical interest, either for the production of vaccines and ...
This dissertation contains the research and work completed by the PhD candidate on the incorporation of sociability and creativity skills to computers and robots. Both skills can be directly related with empathy, which is ...
In this doctoral thesis, contributions to the study and design of advanced controllers and their application to metallurgical smelting furnaces are discussed. For this purpose, this kind of plants has been described in ...
Brain tumors are part of a group of common, non-communicable, chronic and potentially lethal diseases affecting mostfamilies in Europe. Imaging plays a central role in brain tumor management, from detection and classification ...
The present doctoral thesis proposes a series of methods that have as a general objective the non-contact evaluation of heart rate variability (HRV) and respiratory rate (BR) through video imaging. The proposal of this ...
(English) This thesis presents contributions to the state-of-the-art in the field of gain-scheduling control, with special emphasis on linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems and the presence of time-varying saturations. ...
(English) Maintenance is indispensable in every industry that uses machines and is inevitable regardless of the attention paid to it. The cumulative effect of its neglect or a non-optimized approach is a long or short-term ...
This document presents the theoretical background and experimental work made to develop and validate a set of experiments based on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). These experiments are aimed to demonstrate ...
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 ...
(English) Crutches are widely used as assistive walking devices for a diverse population. They are often prescribed by clinicians/therapists to help offload the lower extremities for individuals with impairments. They can ...
Robots are making their way in environments inhabited by people. Whether in domestic or public crowded environments, robots should take into consideration social norms and behaviors in order to become a social robot. This ...
L'aportació més important d'aquesta tesi doctoral és la proposta de noves tècniques de processament del senyal per a l'anàlisi objectiu d'uns tipus de sons respiratoris, anomenats sibilàncies, com a eina complementària pel ...
Tanto el titanio como sus aleaciones son usados como biomateriales por sus excelentes propiedades mecánicas, biocompatibilidad y resistencia a la corrosión. Sin embargo, el fracaso a medio y largo plazo de los implantes ...
