Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) is one of the most widely used thermal analysis techniques for the study of transitions and relaxation processes in polymers and also in other materials. It measures the heat flow ...
In the field of second harmonic (SH) generation most studies have been concerned with maximizing conversion efficiencies, generally achievable at the phase matching (PM) condition. Outside of the PM the conversion efficiency ...
The key features of dynamics of ultraslowing glass forming systems are their universality in diversity. Its origin is recognized as one of the greatest challenges of condensed matter physics and materials engineering in ...
Two-phase flows are encountered in a wide range of applications both on-ground and in space. The dynamics of such flows in the absence of gravity is completely different from that in normal gravity due to the absence of ...
Classical nova explosions are stellar explosions that take place in close binary systems with an energy release only exceeded by gamma-ray bursts and supernova explosions. Matter from the white dwarf flows through the inner ...
Several microscopic theories point out that Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC), i.e., a macroscopic occupation of the lowest energy single particle state in many-boson systems, may appear also in quantum fluids and solids ...
Shoreline sand waves are shoreline undulations with a length scale of several kilometres and a time scale of years to decades. They occur on many coasts, migrating in the direction of the dominant littoral drift and they ...
In this thesis we have focused on semi-classical methods that enables us to obtain non-thermal spectra for the vast majority of black holes. This fact is due to taking into account the backreaction of the metric, when the ...
The Thesis is devoted to simulations of quantum phase transitions by means of Quantum Monte Carlo techniques. Quantum phase transition is a transition between phases at zero or low enough temperature, where quantum effects ...
El objetivo de esta Tesis es el estudio de diferentes comportamientos celulares dinámicos en Escherichia coli y Bacillus subtilis. Es interesante comprender cómo estos organismos sencillos poseen mecanismos complejos para ...
Mediante el análisis estadístico y utilizando diversas técnicas fractales en esta tesis se estudia el comportamiento temporal y espacial de tres series de réplicas sísmicas ocurridas en el Sur de California, que tuvieron ...
Metallic glasses are often referred as glassy or amorphous alloys. They lack long-range order and microstructural defects that are characteristics in crystals, such as grain and phase boundaries and dislocations. These new ...
Even though the transition to turbulence has been studied for over a century, its complete comprehension still remains unclear even for the simplest flows and continues to be a daunting challenge for the scientific community. ...
L’objectiu principal d’aquesta tesi és avançar en la comprensió del processament d’informació en xarxes neuronals en presència d’oscil lacions subumbrals. La majoria de neurones propaguen la seva activitat elèctrica a ...
This Thesis studies different cellular and cell population processes driven by non-linear and stochastic dynamics. The problems addressed here gravitate around the concepts of transient dynamics and relaxation from a ...
Historical decorated glass and glazed ceramics are studied with the object to determine the technology of production and to relate it with the optical properties (colour, shine, opacity). Four different case of study are ...
The aim of this thesis is the study of the dynamics induced by optical feedback in semiconductor lasers. This study aims, on the one hand, to improve our knowledge of stocahstic complex systems, and on the other hand, to ...
The research developed in the framework of this PhD thesis is a theoretical, numerical and experimental study of light beam shaping (spatial filtering, beam collimation and focusing) in the visible frequency range using ...
Graphene, a two-dimensional sp2-hybridized network of carbon atoms has received a remarkable cornucopia of new physics and served as a unique model system, due particularly to its electronic properties, which could have ...
Neutron diffraction is a powerful technique that allows to probe the structure of disordered phases across a variety of length scales. However, due to the inherent complexity of these disordered hases, the analysis of the ...
