Multifunctional and hybrid nanocomposites from micro/nano fibrillated cellulose
As a renewable alternative to petroleum-based materials, wood or plant-based materials offer a greater prospect in the transition towards sustainable replacements. Native to wood, cellulose nanofibers (CNF) form the major ...
Synthèse, caractérisation et étude magnétique des alliages à mémoire de forme de type Heusler Ni-Mn-Sn-X (X= Pd, Cu)
Shape memory alloys witch exhibit magnetically induced phase transformations at room temperatures are the most interesting for magnetic cooling applications. Heusler type alloys (both stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric) ...
Predicción de la fatiga de disipadores de energía elastoplásticos para estructuras sismorresistentes
Elastoplastic energy dissipators are used in earthquake-resistant design in order to dissipate a substantial part of the seismic energy acting on a building. They are elements that are not part of the load-bearing structure ...
Vías legales de acceso a España de personas migrantes con el objetivo de residir y trabajar. Especial atención al Pacto Mundial sobre Migración de Naciones Unidas
The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to study the legal routes of access to Spain for migrants with the aim of residing and working. An analysis of the recent United Nations Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular ...
Bond behaviour between CFRP and concrete for NSM systems under sustained loading
The rehabilitation of civil structures has been gaining importance during the last decades. Owing to their mechanical, corrosion resistance and lightweight properties, Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) present an ...
Evaluación de las propiedades mecánicas y micromecánicas de los materiales compuestos de polipropileno reforzado con fibras residuales provenientes del reciclado de recortes en la industria textil
Every year, the textile industry generates large amounts of cellulosic waste during the production and fabrication stages. This waste is made up of fibers, with lengths are less than 10 mm that prevent its reintroduction ...
Mediterranean macroalgal forests under threat: the effects of ongoing climate change and design of restoration methods
Macroalgal forests represent some of the most productive and biodiverse habitats on Earth. In the Mediterranean Sea, species of the genus Cystoseira sensu lato dominate the well-preserved subtidal rocky habitats where ...
Fatiga i èxtasi. Cossos, subjectivitats i cinemes als escrits publicats i inèdits de Jean Epstein
This dissertation studies the thought of filmmaker and essayist Jean Epstein, focusing on the motif of the body and the organism in his writings and incorporating his unpublished work into the object of study. Epstein's ...
Programa d'intervenció familiar multidisciplinar en atenció primària de salut basat en la teràpia de resolució de problemes per la disminució de la utilització dels recursos sanitaris del pacient crònic complex
Introduction: In the current socioeconomic context, addressing chronic diseases forces us to seek new, more efficient, strategies for complex chronic patients care. Family care can improve complex chronic patient management, ...
Statistical methods to manage and analyse real world data. Development of a health observatory in Alt Empordà
The objective of this thesis is to explore in greater depth the process of creating a public health observatory and the processing of the information needed to take territorial decisions in the county of Alt Empordà. The ...
Automated 3D object recognition in underwater scenarios for manipulation
In recent decades, the rapid development of intelligent vehicle and 3D scanning tecnologies has led to a growing interest in applications based on 3D point data processing, with many applications such as augmented reality ...
Characterization of adsorption processes for the removal of metal ions from waste effluents using biosorbents and graphene-based sorbents. Studies in Batch and in fixed-bed column
Wastewater discharged from industrial and agricultural activities contains relatively large amounts of toxic metal ions, especially including Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb (II), and Cr(VI). The removal of these pollutants is of ...
Cloud-aerosol transition zone radiative effects from modeling and observational perspectives
Aerosols and clouds, as two particular cases of a single phenomenon (i.e., a suspension of particles in the air), are important components in the climate system. They play a crucial role in determination of Earth’s energy ...
Influence of flow alteration and metal pollution on stream biota: from species to community-level responses
This thesis aimed to assess the responses of stream biota to flow alterations, in terms of water velocity increments and reductions of discharge, and to metal pollution. The investigations performed encompassed (i) ...
