Structure and hydrogen dynamic behavior in proton sponge cations and organometallic complexes
This thesis focuses on the study of hydrogen dynamic behavior in a series of proton sponge cations as well as in bis(silyl)hydride organometallic complexes. To understand the dynamic behavior, a new tool, i.e. the ...
Population and evolutionary dynamics in spatial systems
Physical and mathematical models are extremely useful to understand key processes in population and evolutionary dynamics. Such models allow the study of many diverse features in spatial systems such as front propagation, ...
Antimicrobial activity in Bacillus spp. from plant environments against plant pathogens. Relationship with cyclic lipopeptide genes and products
Bacillus subtilis and related species have strong interest in agriculture because several strains are biocontrol agents of plant diseases, which have been recognized as biosafe. In this work, a selective enrichment procedure ...
A study of the bond and flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete elements strengthened with near surface mounted (NSM) FRP reinforcement
The main objective of the thesis is to study the bond behaviour of NSM FRP reinforcement in concrete elements. With this aim an extensive program of experimental tests complemented with numerical analysis has been performed ...
Deformable object segmentation in ultra-sound images
This thesis analyses the current strategies to segment breast lesions in Ultra-Sound (US) data and proposes a fully automatic methodology for generating accurate segmentations of breast lesions in US data with low false ...
Serious games for health and medicine. A cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) case study
Serious games are video games designed to provide specific expertise, knowledge and skills to the player, going beyond pure entertainment. In this thesis we present a classification of serious games for health and medicine ...
