Casanellas Vilageliu, Laura (Date of defense: 2013-03-22)
Wormlike micelles are viscoelastic fluids that present an intermediate behavior between solids and ordinary liquids since they are elastic at short time scales but flow easily at large time scales. In opposition to Newtonian ...

Cells are the minimum unit of life. They are born, they eat, the may grow, they may move, and, eventually, they die. By contrast, from a physicist point of view, cells are systems out of equilibrium continuously transducing ...
Bitlloch Puigvert, Pau (Date of defense: 2012-10-11)
We study the formation and spreading of a turbulent jet of bubbles in microgravity. This has been analyzed from the recordings obtained in previous experimental campaigns of microgravity. Results have been compared with a ...
Puigdomènech Bourgon, Daniel (Date of defense: 2012-11-06)
In this thesis a viable theory of gravity resulting from the spontaneous symmetry breaking of some more fundamental theory is developed. This fundamental theory does not include any notion of a metric or geometry. All the ...
Grabalosa Gándara, Marc (Date of defense: 2012-05-15)
Flavour Tagging at the LHCb experiment is a fundamental tool for the measurement of B oscillations and the study of CP violation. This document explains the development of different tagging techniques and the different ...
Tarrús Castellà, Jaume (Date of defense: 2012-06-07)
The first three chapters of this thesis have been devoted to the theoretical background. We presented the novel work of this thesis in chapters 4 and 5. In chapter 4 we have constructed a Chiral effective field theory for ...
Puig Navarro, Albert (Date of defense: 2012-03-09)
Radiative decays of B mesons, a good example of Flavor Changing Neutral Currents, are interesting for the study of physics beyond the Standard Model, as new high-energy phenomena can enter in the loop. The LHCb experiment, ...
Jiménez Tejero, Clara Estela (Date of defense: 2012-03-05)
In this thesis we have studied baryon resonances generated from the dynamical interaction of two hadrons. We are interested on this study as an alternative approach to explain the increasing number of observed charmed ...
Abad García, Marta (Date of defense: 2012-02-16)
In this thesis we study the effects of the dipole-dipole interaction on the physics of ultracold quantum gases, both bosonic and fermionic, within the theoretical framework provided by the mean-field regime. This kind of ...
Planet Latorre, Ramon (Date of defense: 2009-10-23)
La imbibició és un procés de transport de fluids immiscibles en un medi desordenat en el qual el fluid que mulla preferentment el medi desplaça el fluid resident. La interfície que separa aquests dos fluids esta sotmesa a ...
Riera Graells, Arnau (Date of defense: 2010-03-18)
THESIS SUMMARY<br/><br/>TEXT:<br/><br/>This thesis is made of two parts. In the first one, the issue of entanglement in many body systems is addressed. The concept of entanglement and some of the recent progress on the ...
Bote Paz, David (Date of defense: 2010-03-25)
En esta tesis se reformulan de manera detallada la primera aproximación de Born relativista con ondas planas (PWBA), para colisiones inelásticas de electrones, positrones y partículas pesadas con átomos o iones, suponiendo ...
Auguet Sangrá, Carlota E. (Date of defense: 1988-07-07)
Hay un gran número de aleaciones que experimentan transformaciones martensíticas termoelásticas (Au-Cd, Ti-Ni, Cu- Zn- Al, Cu- Al- Mo) y, en consecuencia, presentan ciertas propiedades termomecánicas que los convierten en ...
Castan i Vidal, Maria Teresa (Date of defense: 1987-04-09)
Els sistemes objecte d'estudi en aquest treball són aliatges metàl·lics d'estructura reticular b.c.c. els quals, a baixes temperatures, experimenten una transició de fase estructural de tipus martensític (bàsicament descrita ...
Parreño Garcia, Assumpta (Date of defense: 1997-05-22)
In single A hypernuclei, a A hyperon can occupy any orbital in the hypernucleus since it is free from the Pauli exclusion principle due to its additional quantum number strangeness. <br/><br/>Due to the Pauli blocking ...
Ramírez de la Piscina Millán, Laureano (Date of defense: 1990-07-06)
La caracterización de sistemas por medio de sus tiempos característicos es sujeto de investigación tanto teórica como experimental. Posiblemente el tiempo característico más conocido y más ampliamente utilizado es el Tiempo ...
Vives i Santa-Eulàlia, Eduard (Date of defense: 1991-01-16)
Els models microscòpics usuals que es proposen en Mecànica Estadística descriuen, únicament, un tipus de grau de llibertat. Aquests models permeten explicar algunes transicions de fase que es troben en els diagrames de ...
Centelles Aixalà, Mario (Date of defense: 1992-07-30)
The nuclear many-body problem is nowadays being increasingly approached on the basis of a relativistic formalism. Microscopic Dirac-Brueckner-Hartree-Fock (DBHF) calculations starting from a realistic nucleon-nucleon ...
Illa i Tortós, Xavier (Date of defense: 2007-01-23)
S:<br/><br/>L'objectiu principal d'aquesta tesi és aprofundir en l'estudi dels models microscòpics que permeten estudiar la histèresi. Aquest fenomen està present en moltes àrees de la física i ha despertat l'interès de ...
Malet Giralt, Francesc (Date of defense: 2008-05-13)
We have investigated several properties of semiconductor electronic nanostructures. In the first part of the thesis, within the density functional theory we have addressed the ground state and the dipolar response of quantum ...
