Large-scale CFD and micro-particles simulations in a large human airways under sniff condition and drug delivery application
As we inhale, the air drawn through our nose undergoes successive accelerations and decelerations as it is turned, split, and recombined before splitting again at the end of the trachea as it enters the bronchi. Fully ...
Exploring free-energy landscapes and microscopic interactions of selected small-molecules and proteins with cell membranes
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 ...
Hybrid non-destructive technique for volumetric defect analysis and reconstruction by remote laser induced ultrasound
This PhD thesis is devoted to the design, development and implementation of a non-contact hybrid non-destructive testing (NDT) method applied to the analysis of metallic objects that contain embedded defects or fractures. ...
Multiapproach computational modelling of tuberculosis : understanding its epidemiological dynamics for improving its control in Nigeria
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that is considered to be the biggest killer of mankind in the history of infectious diseases. There are still more than 10 million new TB cases every year and it causes more than ...
Computational analysis of ion cyclotron resonance frequency heating for JET experiments
Heating plasmas to a relevant fusion temperature is one of the key aspects of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Radio frequency (RF) heating with electromagnetic waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) ...
Active flow control methods for aerodynamic applications
The cylinder in cross flow has been the subject of many numerical and experimental studies since it provides a deep insight of the physical phenomena occurring in a wide range of flow regimes. Despite a number of investigations ...
Comparison of the response of different configurations of aircraft repair patches under static and dynamic loading
In the modern era of transportation, air travel has gained a huge pace and still kept increasing. The global demand for air transport is increasing at a rate of 6%, because of population growth and ticket price reductions. ...
Modelling pathological effects in intracellular calcium dynamics leading to atrial fibrillation
The heart beating is produced by the synchronization of the cardiac cells' contraction. A dysregulation in this mechanism may produce episodes of abnormal heart contraction. The origin of these abnormalities often lies at ...
Estimation of binding free energies with Monte Carlo atomistic simulations and enhanced sampling
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 ...
Neuronal encoding and transmission of weak periodic signals
Sensory neurons use sequences of electrical pulses (known as action potentials or spikes) to encode and transmit information of external temporal stimuli. Neural coding is the research field that studies the relationship ...
Machine learning methods for the characterization and classification of complex data
This thesis work presents novel methods for the analysis and classification of medical images and, more generally, complex data. First, an unsupervised machine learning method is proposed to order anterior chamber OCT ...
Development of a solid state amplifier for the 3rd harmonic cavity for ALBA synchrotron light source
In Synchrotron Light Source facilities with high energy and low emittance electron beams different techniques for improving the quality of the synchrotron light for the users are applied. With this aim ALBA, the Spanish ...
The future of free route in the European airspace : a study quantifying the cost-benefits and safety-cost of its implementation
Free-route airs pace perm its us ers to freely plan a route between defined entry and exit waypoints with the pos s ibility of routing 1.fa intermediate points. Flights flyíng in a free-route area remain subject to air ...
Nuevas aproximaciones al estudio de la dinámica de la relajación dieléctrica en ferroeléctricos ordinarios y relajadores
Ferroelectric materials are endowed with fascinating functional properties from the technological point of view. Consequently, they have promoted the design of ferroelectric-based devices with applications in a vast range ...
Experimental study of speckle generated by semiconductor light sources: application in double pass imaging
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 ...
Ultracold Bose and Fermi dipolar gases : a quantum Monte Carlo study
The object of study of this thesis are dipolar systems in the quantum degenerate regime. In general, dealing with many-body systems and evaluating their properties requires to deal with the the Schrödinger equation. In the ...
An integrated framework for trajectory optimisation, prediction and parameter estimation for advanced aircraft separation concepts
Since the birth of commercial aviation, the applications and benefits of aircraft have grown immensely. This, in perfect synchrony with the average increase of purchasing power of the society, has rocketed the number of ...
Ubiquitous supercomputing : design and development of enabling technologies for multi-robot systems rethinking supercomputing
Supercomputing, also known as High Performance Computing (HPC), is almost everywhere (ubiquitous), from the small widget in your phone telling you that today will be a sunny day, up to the next great contribution to the ...
Development of the new AINA code and its application to the Safety Analysis of the European DEMO designs
A conclusion that can be drawn from the historical safety analyses developed for tokamaks fusion reactors is that some of the major risks involve incidents in the vacuum vessel. In order to evaluate plasma evolution and ...
Flow and heat transfer of impinging synthetic jets
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 ...
