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 ...
Mixed models and point processes
The main objective of this Thesis is to model the occurrence of wildfires and, in particular, knowing the factors with more influence, to evaluate how they are distributed in space and time. The Thesis presents three major ...
Health and economic convergence in the European Union (1990-2010): an econometric approach
The main aim of this thesis is to evaluate the reduction of economic and health disparities in the European Union from 1990-2010. Through different dynamic panel models, we show that in simple economics terms there has ...
Control and modeling techniques in biomedical engineering: the artificial pancreas for patients with type 1 diabetes
This thesis presents different control strategies, for the closed-loop artificial pancreas, which are based on Model Predictive Control (MPC) and Sliding Mode Control (SMC). Multiple MPC with linear models and gain scheduling, ...
El suburbium de Gerunda. Evolució històrica del pla de Girona en època romana
This doctoral thesis aims to go deep on the knowledge of the city of Gerunda in the Roman period using as a main source of information the data about its suburbium, especially thanks to several archaeological projects ...
Case-based diagnosis of batch processes based on latent structures
The aim of this thesis is to present a methodological approach for the automatic monitoring of batch processes based on a combination of statistical models and machine learning methods. The former is used to model the ...
Valoración de materiales compuestos de HDPE reforzados con fibras de Agave sisalana. Aproximación a un paradigma de geometría fractal para las fibras
Natural fibers have been used recently as reinforcement of polymer-matrix based composites. The present thesis examines the mechanical properties of high density polyethylene (HDPE) composite reinforced with sisal fiber, ...
