La proyección macular, un nuevo método para determinar la agudeza visual potencial
Rodríguez Mier, Fernando Avelino (Date of defense: 2014-03-14)
The "Macular Projector" MAP, designed by us, is so effective, reliable and predictive as the Guyton-Minkowski PAMÒ and Retinometer Heine Lambda 100 in the assessment of potential visual acuity. The PAM has the advantage, ...
Multi-attribute auctions: application to workflow management systems
Pla Planas, Albert (Date of defense: 2014-04-25)
Resource and task allocation for workflows poses an allocation problem in which several attributes may be involved (economic cost, delivery time, CO2 emissions...), therefore, it must be treated from a multi-criteria ...
Sonar scan matching for simultaneous localization and mapping in confined underwater environments
Mallios, Angelos (Date of defense: 2014-05-15)
This thesis presents the development of a localization and mapping algorithm for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). It is based on probabilistic scan matching of raw sonar scans within a pose-based simultaneous ...
Reproducció i desenvolupament de la mallerenga blava (Cyanistes caeruleus): conseqüències de la invasió de la formiga argentina (Linepithema humile) en la xarxa tròfica del bosc mediterrani
Estany-Tigerström, David (Date of defense: 2013-11-29)
We investigated whether the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) invasion modifies the trophic web of the sclerophyllous Mediterranean forests to the point that impacts co-occurring bird communities. We studied if the invaded ...
Numerical modeling of anisotropic granular media
Kanzaki Cabrera, Takeichi (Date of defense: 2013-11-29)
Granular materials are multi-particle systems involved in many industrial process and everyday life. The mechanical behavior of granular media such as sand, coffee beans, planetary rings and powders are current challenging ...
