Guest-molecule dynamics and conductivity effects in carbon-based molecular solids
Disordered systems are abundant in everyday life and so their study is of importance from a scientific and a technological point of view. The most common non-crystalline solid phases are structural glasses (e.g. window ...
Computer simulation of an excess proton in aqueous systems
This thesis aims at studying the microscopic physical-chemical properties of an excess proton in aqueous systems. From bulk water environments to narrow hydrophobic channels constructed with a double-layered graphene slab, ...
Spatiotemporal coordination of collective activity in neuronal ensembles
The brain is a complex multiscale dynamical system made of neurons, connected with each other by synapses. Neurons are multidimensional nonlinear systems able to exhibit dynamical activities at different temporal and spatial ...
Design of the BELEN detector for wide energy range with flat and high detection efficiency
The main objective of this work is to design the BEta-deLayEd Neutron detector (BELEN) detector for FAIR (Facility for Antiproton Ion Research). The purpose of this detector is the measurement of neutron emission probabilities ...
Observation and interpretation of type IIB supernova explosions
Core-collapse supernovae (CC-SNe) explosions represent the final demise of massive stars. Among the various types, there is a group of relatively infrequent CC-SNe termed type IIb, which appear to be hybrids between normal ...
Development of AINA code for the study of loss of plasma control events in ITER and DEMO, and contribution to the systems study of DEMO
Magnetic fusion is a long term, worldwide research activity. Plans are increasingly ambitious, cooperation is progressing, and goals seem to be closer every year. ITER reactor is being built, and several conceptual studies ...
Thermal diagnostics experiments for LISA Pathfinder
The LISA Pathfinder project is an ESA/NASA technology demonstrator mission that must test the critical instrumentation required for a future space-borne gravitational wave observatory based on the LISA design. The satellite, ...
Effects of vibrations applied to fluids at different gravity levels
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 ...
Contributions to GNSS-R earth remote sensing from nano-satellites
Global Navigation Satellite Systems Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a multi-static radar using navigation signals as signals of opportunity. It provides wide-swath and improved spatio-temporal sampling over current space-borne ...
ISFAA : Implicit SPH for astrophysical apllications
Computational simulation is one of the basic techniques of modern Astrophysics. The long-term time astrophysical processes cannot be treated with explicit approaches because that they are limited, in their maximum time ...
On cross-shore beach profile morphodynamics
The nearshore zone is plenty of 3D morphodynamic patterns resulting from the interaction of waves, currents and sediments. The dynamics of formation and evolution of these patterns is at present a controversial point in ...
Ion binding landscapes and molecular dynamics of phospholipid membranes
This thesis aims at studying the physical-chemical properties of model lipid bilayers in physiological environments. Since in such conditions biological membranes composed of phospholipids and cholesterol are surrounded ...
Mapping biophysics through enhanced Monte Carlo techniques
This thesis is focused on the study of molecular interactions at the atomistic detail and is divided into one introductory chapter and four chapters referencing different problems and methodological approaches. All of them ...
