La formación en patrimonio cultural en los estudios de Grado en Turismo. El caso de los estudiantes de Barcelona
The purpose pursued with this study is that future graduates develop the skills and professional abilities that the sector requires. Human capital is considered as a key element in the tourism system. It reveals, however, ...
A comprehensive methodology to analyse bonded joints subjected to different environmental conditions
Cohesive zone models are widely used for modelling delamination and bonded joints under different loading conditions. In the current thesis, an objective inverse method has been developed to extract the cohesive law from ...
Underdrain design and operational conditions in sand media filters using reclaimed effluents in drip irrigation systems
At present, agriculture is the human activity which requires more volume of water. Given the importance and scarcity of this resource, the efficient use of water has become a priority. On one hand, if possible, it is ...
Towards a high-performance computing finite element simulation framework for virtual testing of composite structures
his doctoral thesis aims at developing and implementing a computational framework for performing virtual testing of composite structures using a High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment. In this sense, this thesis ...
Predictores del bienestar subjetivo de niños, niñas y adolescentes en Chile
The research aims to analyze the influence of microsystems family, school and neighborhood on subjective well-being of children and adolescents Chileans through the respective systems of selected indicators. A crossover ...
La pintura de Balthus: de la imagen a la imaginación. Paradojas de lo real, el deseo y la identidad
The main topic of this doctoral research is the French artist Balthus (1908-2001) and the analysis of his pictorial production. Despite being a notorious and much discussed painter by a theorical corpus who have been ...
Analytical methodology based on a silicone rod (SR) micro extraction combined with HPLC-DAD method for the determination of pharmaceuticals and antibacterial products in effluent wastewaters: characterization of the sorption removal processes by cork
Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) allow the achievement of high enrichment levels by using small volumes of solvents, enabling the low detection limits required for the determination of ketoprofen, naproxen, carbamazepine, ...
Multivariate statistical modelling and monitoring of smart buildings
In order to reduce mismatches between real and expected consumption, this thesis explores the use of PCA (Principal Component Analysis) as a modelling tool for buildings. PCA is a statistical technique that allows complex ...
Development of new, non-invasive tools based on faecal bacterial signatures for the early detection of colorectal cancer
This thesis aims to develop a new non-invasive tool based on faecal bacterial markers for the early detection of colorectal cancer, which is capable of detecting precancerous lesions before the onset of clinical signs. ...
Efecte de l'administració de l'rt-PA en condicions isquèmiques in vitro i in vivo: Cav-1 com a potencial biomarcador de volum d'infart
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is currently the only FDA-approved drug for the treatment of acute ischaemic stroke. However, the application of this therapy is limited to <5-7% of patients due to the ...
Aliatges magnètics nanocristal·lins de base ferro i aliatges Heusler: producció i caracterització
This work is focused on the production and characterization of: (1) Fe based nanocrystalline soft magnetic materials of NANOPERM and HITPERM families and (2) Heusler magnetic shape memory alloys. Within the first typology, ...
Els prats de dall de la terra baixa catalana. Caracterització geobotànica, valoració agroambiental i estudi de les relacions fitosociològiques entre els prats dalladors de l'Europa occidental
The hay meadows in the Mediterranean region of Catalonia. Geobotanical characterisation, agri-environmental assessment, and study of the phytosociological relationships between hay meadows in Western Europe We locate ...
Micromechanical modelling of hybrid unidirectional composite materials under fibre tensile loading
In this thesis, a micromechanical model for predicting the tensile failure process in hybrid and non-hybrid unidirectional composite materials under fibre tensile loading is developed. Derived from this, the influence that ...
Influence of feeding restriction and dietary phosphorus levels on body tissue composition evaluated in vivo by computed tomography, bone mineralisation and sensory properties of the meat from gilts
Feeding strategy is very important for farmers to improve pig productive parameters and keep its competitive advantage in the market. The computed tomography (CT) technology can evaluate the effect of feeding strategy on ...
Deep learning methods for automated detection of new multiple sclerosis lesions in longitudinal magnetic resonance images
This thesis is focused on developing novel and fully automated methods for the detection of new multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions in longitudinal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). First, we proposed a fully automated ...
Blai Bonet en prosa. Veu, cos i memòria en la novel·la "El mar"
Given that the poetry of Blai Bonet has been thoroughly examined, this study is focused on Blai Bonet as a novelist beginning with the analysis of his first novel, El mar (1958). The study is divided into three parts: “Blai ...
Improving compression after impact response of composite laminates through ply level hybridization with thin plies and unsymmetrical designs
Despite the weight savings, composite materials are vulnerable to impact loads mainly due to the alarming reduction in the compression after impact strength (CAI). This thesis exploits the potential of laminate designs ...
Lírica trobadoresca a la Corona d'Aragó: estudi de casos
The PhD entitled "Troubadour Lyrics in the Crown of Aragon: case study" offers a detailed census of all those troubadours for whom a link has been proposed with the Crown of Aragon, with fundamental information about the ...
L'emmagatzematge de cereals en sitges durant l'antiguitat tardana en els bisbats de Girona i Empúries
