A geometric routing scheme in word-metric spaces for data networks
This research work explores the use of the Greedy Geometric Routing (GGR) schemes to solve the scalability problem of the routing systems in Internet-like networks and several families of Data Center architectures. We ...
Fat and salt reduction and substitution in small-caliber non-acid fermented sausages
The objective of this thesis is to develop fermented sausages with lower fat and sodium content by means of innovative processing and the use of fat and NaCl substitutes. The effect of sunflower oil and pork lard-based ...
Metal ions removal from polluted waters by sorption onto exhausted coffee waste. Application to metal finishing industries wastewater treatment
A new technology for Cr(VI) and divalent metal ions removal based on metal sorption onto exhausted coffee waste has been developed. Physical and chemical characterization of exhausted coffee waste was explored as well as ...
Ricard Giralt i Casadesús, un noucentista transversal (1884-1970): arquitectura, urbanisme i municipi a la Catalunya del segle XX
The present thesis studies in depth a perspective of the noucentista movement focusing on the professional career of the architect Ricard Giralt Casadesús (1884-1970) and particularly on his urban design approach and social ...
Minimisation and abatement of volatile sulphur compounds in sewage sludge processing
Environmental pollution related to odour emission has become in the last years an important public concern. Closeness of odour-causing facilities such as waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) to urban areas further aggravates ...
Molecular mechanism of PE5-induced cytotoxicity and generation of new cytotoxic nuclear-directed
Cytotoxic ribonucleases are promising agents to be used in the treatment of cancer. Our group previously described a cytotoxic human pancreatic ribonuclease variant, named PE5, which carries a nuclear localization signal. ...
Effect of pre-bond moisture on the static and fatigue behaviour of bonded joints between CFRP laminates for structural repairs
In recent years, the use of composite materials in the aeronautic, automotive, marine construction, etc. has increased significantly. Hence, there is an increasing need for repair technologies on primary structural components, ...
Stream biofilm responses to flow intermittency
Streams experiencing a recurrent non-flow phase (i.e., flow intermittency) are characteristic of world regions with arid and semi-arid climates, where Mediterranean regions are part of. During non-flow streambed sediments, ...
Automated detection of new multiple sclerosis lesions in longitudinal brain magnetic resonance imaging
This thesis deals with the detection of new multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions in longitudinal brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. This disease is characterized by the presence of lesions in the brain, predominantly in the ...
Model de predicció de la cotització del preu del porcí, basat en la teoria dels expertons i en xarxes neuronals
The meat industry is the most important economic activity in the agrofood sector, which (in Spain) is 20.6%. The meat industry contributes to the 1.7% Spanish GDP, billing 16 billion Euros (2006), employing more than 85,000 ...
Luisa Sigea de Velasco: reflexions filosòfiques d'una docta puella espanyola del segle XVI
The PhD entitled "Luisa Sigea de Velasco: philosophical reflections of a sixteenth-century Spanish docta puella" focuses on verifying and justifying if Luisa Sigea (1522-1560) was a genuine philosopher. To carry out this ...
La responsabilidad patrimonial de la Administración pública urbanística
The PhD thesis analyzes the town planning liability of Public Authority, based on section 35 of the Royal Decree – Act 2/2008, of 20th June, regulating the Land Act. The research focuses on the key new aspects introduced ...
Los derechos de información y de participación ciudadanas en materia urbanística
This thesis has the aim of establish a compilation of the citizen’s rights in urbanism. By one hand, the right of having access to the urbanistic information, means to study exhaustively the right of having access to the ...
Downward flame front spread in thin solid fuels: theory and experiments
Flame spread over solid samples has been studied from many points of view, as it is key for fire safety, yet it is a complex phenomenon that involves processes occurring in both the solid and the gas phases. This Ph.D. ...
In vitro production of porcine embryos. New insights into optimization of culture media with relevance to sex ratio purposes
This thesis is about challenges that currently concern in vitro production (IVP), sex determination procedures and sex-related survival of in vitro-produced porcine embryos. Specifically, the current thesis develops a new ...
Vitrification of in vitro produced porcine blastocysts: the effects of culture medium and antioxidants
In the present Thesis, we observed that vitrifying-warming porcine embryos had detrimental effects. Indeed, vitrification and warming were seen to reduce developmental ability and quality of in vitro produced porcine ...
Contribució dels equipaments d'educació ambiental a les sortides escolars de l'educació primària
Aquest treball explora i aprofundeix en com s’integren les activitats que ofereixen els equipaments d’educació ambiental –entitats de l’àmbit educatiu no formal que es troben en espais naturals protegits–, en les escoles ...
Iron and iridium molecular complex for water oxidation catalysis
Harness light from the sun is one of the 21st century’s major goals towards the substitution of fossil fuels for a renewable source of energy. Sustainable production of highly energetic molecules using sunlight as energy ...
Automatic source detection in astronomical images
The use of automatic algorithms to detect astronomical sources (stars, galaxies, gas, dust or cosmic rays) becomes of great importance because of the increasing amount of astronomical images and the inefficiency and ...
Development of highly structured non-heme iron catalysts for selective C-H group oxidations
Catalytic oxidation reactions of hydrocarbons that occur in the active site of metalloenzymes exhibit high efficiency and exquisite regio- and stereoselectivity under mild experimental conditions. We describe the efficient ...
