El objetivo de esta investigación fue obtener un modelo matemático de calibración que permita estimar cuantitativamente el patrón ventilatorio (PV), en términos de volumen, en un grupo de voluntarios sanos y pacientes con ...
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is primarily involved in back pain, a morbidity that strongly affects the quality of life of individuals nowadays. Lumbar IVDs undergo stressful mechanical loads while being the largest ...
Este proyecto se propone caracterizar y optimizar superficies biofuncionalizadas con diferentes secuencias peptídicas, para lograr la regeneración ósea (oseointegración) y por ende la disminución de los problemas de ...
After a lesion in the CNS, glial cells play a fundamental role, being the mediators of both the inhibitory and the beneficial response for neural regeneration. The tissue engineering approach consists in the use of ...
Los movimientos voluntarios del cuerpo son controlados por el sistema nervioso central y periférico a través de la contracción de los músculos esqueléticos. La contracción se inicia al liberarse un neurotransmisor sobre ...
La tesi que es presenta tracta l’estudi cinemàtic i dinàmic de la marxa humana mitjançant tècniques de dinàmica de sistemes multisòlid. Per a aquest propòsit, s’utilitzen dos models biomecànics: un model pla format per 11 ...
SAHS (Sleep Apnea-Hypopnea Syndrome) is recognized to be a serious disorder with high prevalence in the population. The main clinical triad for SAHS is made up of 3 symptoms: apneas and hypopneas, chronic snoring and ...
In this thesis various methods are presented towards long-term electrophysiological monitoring of in-vitro neuron cultures in µ-channel devices. A new µ-channel device has been developed. The StarPoM device offers ...
Analytical disciplines are an important field for the progress of healthcare and medicine. In fact the technologies related to analytical disciplines may reveal important information for early diagnosis, treatment of ...
Bone injury is a major health problem nowadays. Bone tissue engineering is a promising strategy to solve it. In this field many reports pointed out the role of scaffolds containing a calcium phosphate glass, such as G5, ...
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 ...
La presente tesis trata del diseño y fabricación de un nuevo dispositivo para registrar la actividad eléctrica neuronal espontánea y estimulada farmacológicamente, en redes neuronales in vitro. La forma de operar esta ...
Los accidentes cerebrovasculares son una de las principales causas de mortalidad y discapacidad en adultos y su incidencia en la población se incrementa cada año. Sin embargo, gracias a los avances en los protocolos de ...
El estudio y evaluación de la función muscular respiratoria en enfermedades respiratorias a través de técnicas no invasivas representa un tema de gran interés, dado que hasta la fecha no existen métodos satisfactorios ...
The main goal of this thesis was to help in the identification of genetic variants that are responsible for complex traits, combining both linear and nonlinear approaches. First, two one-locus approaches were proposed. The ...
Skeletal representations are important shape descriptors which encode topological and geometrical properties of shapes and reduce their dimension. Skeletons are used in several fields of science and attract the attention ...
The absorbed dose assessment in the presence of tissue heterogeneities in external radiotherapy is an issue that has concerned the medical physics community for almost three decades and it is still a matter of concern. ...
The problem of capturing human experience is relevant in many application domains. In fact, the process of describing and sharing individual experience lies at the heart of human culture. This advancement came at a price ...
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 ...
Hybrid systems play an important role in the modeling of complex systems since they take into account the interaction between both continuous dynamics and discrete events. Complex systems are subject to changes in the ...
