Tripathi, Pragya (Date of defense: 2016-11-17)
In this thesis we employ dielectric spectroscopy (in different implementations) to study the dielectric properties of different materials ranging from completely disordered supercooled liquids to low-disorder solids with ...
Ortiz de Urbina Viade, Jordi (Date of defense: 2021-09-30)
The aim of this thesis is to study, by means of molecular dynamics simulations, the behaviour of two molecular models at different temperatures, approaching the glass transition. One of them mimics methanol molecules, ...
Wis Gil, Mariano (Date of defense: 2016-11-02)
Es ampliamente conocido que los modelos de error para sensores inerciales tienen dos componentes: El primero es un componente determinista que normalmente es calibrado por el fabricante en el firmware de la IMU. El segundo ...
Gao, Chen (Date of defense: 2022-05-18)
Due to the rich dynamic properties of the equilibria of the Restricted Three Body Problem (RTBP), the libration point orbits (LPOs) around them are ideal locations for scientific missions. Fortunately, these invariant ...
Mohammed, Ali Jasim (Date of defense: 2018-10-03)
The occurrence of heat waves and cold spells has received special attention in recent years due to their impact on human health, ecosystems and economy. In the context of climate change, there is evidence that extreme ...
Al-Nassar, Ali Raheem Tuaimah (Date of defense: 2018-09-25)
Precipitation is one of the most important, and also difficult to predict, elements of climate. This difficulty is associated with the transport of moisture through weather fronts that change their pathway, shape and ...
Vispa, Alessandro (Date of defense: 2016-11-24)
Disordered systems are ubiquitous in nature and their study is complicated and often leads to controversial results. In any case, the important role of such systems in science and technological applications should not be ...
Arriaga García, Jaime Alonso (Date of defense: 2018-07-30)
Shorelines around the world are rarely smooth and they can present undulations and cuspate shapes. On the one hand, human actions can cause shoreline perturbations via beach nourishments, which in turn perturb the wave ...
Garcia Sabaté, Anna (Date of defense: 2016-06-20)
Due to the increasing interest in space exploration, management of two-phase flows in the absence of gravity has become a key aspect in improving the efficiency of technological applications for space missions. Understanding ...
Zachariah, Manesh (Date of defense: 2016-11-17)
The study of crystalline materials has played a prominent role in solid state physics, whose basic theories were formulated for crystalline matter. However, disordered materials are more abundant in nature than crystalline ...
Melgosa Farrés, Marc (Date of defense: 2023-03-22)
(English) The Air Traffic Flow and Capacity Management (ATFCM) aims at maintaining the forecast traffic demand below the estimated capacity in airports and airspace sectors. The purpose is to maintain the workload of the ...
Gilabert Navarro, Joan Francesc (Date of defense: 2020-07-22)
The advances in computing power have motivated the hope that computational methods can accelerate the pace of drug discovery pipelines. For this, fast, reliable and user-friendly tools are required. One of the fields that ...
Velasco Cruz, Jorge Enrique (Date of defense: 2019-06-28)
Metallic glasses are amorphous solids produced by rapid cooling, with disordered atomic structure and lacking long-range order. This structural disorder makes them to show mechanical properties different from those observed ...
Castrillón Camacho, Arjuna (Date of defense: 2021-05-12)
Planetary nebulae play a very important role in the chemical evolution of galaxies since they are responsible for returning nuclear-processed material to the interstellar medium. Observations of planetary nebulae are used ...
Casamor Vidal, Max (Date of defense: 2022-10-11)
The combined use of thermal-hydraulics system with sub-channel codes (TH-TH coupling) in transient analysis provides an integrated tool with the capability of modelling in detail both the core thermal-hydraulic conditions ...
Ayats López, Roger (Date of defense: 2022-04-22)
Turbulence is one of the major concerns for most technological problems involving fluid motion. Specially in aeronautics, a turbulent boundary layer results in structural stresses, vibrations and higher aircraft drag, ...
Halpaap, Donatus (Date of defense: 2019-12-09)
With the double pass (DP) technique it is possible to quantify the optical quality of a patient's eye by measuring its point spread function. Due to the low reflectivity of the retina a high-intensity, point-like illumination ...
Lu, Huixia (Date of defense: 2020-09-29)
The present Thesis is devoted to the study of the physical-chemical properties of selected small-molecules (such as amino-acids like tryptophan or hormones like melatonin) and proteins (such as KRAS-4B) absorbed in model ...
Wang, Teng (Date of defense: 2020-12-17)
This PhD thesis provides a fast engineering approach to the design of digital predistortion (DPD) linearizers from several perspectives: i) enhancing the off-line training performance of open-loop DPD, ii) providing ...
Miró Jané, Arnau (Date of defense: 2019-06-19)
Synthetic jets are produced by the oscillatory movement of a membrane inside a cavity, causing fluid to enter and leave through a small orifice. This results in a net jet that is able to transfer kinetic energy and momentum ...
