To ensure progress in the field of biomedicine and drug development, it is essential to keep improving the equipment needed to carry out most of the experiments. With better tools, scientists can be more efficient, increasing ...
[eng] The scope of this thesis is the advancement on the theoretical simulation and nanofabrication of photonic crystals based on a periodic array of silicon pillars. This research is intended to be part of the preliminary ...
This thesis is devoted to the development of new annealing strategies via Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP) for Earth-abundant Cu2ZnSn(Sx,Se1-x) (CZTSSe) kesterite solar cells, which show a clear consensus amongst the scientific ...
In vitro engineered three-dimensional tissue models are attracting an increasing interest due to their potential applications in preclinical assays. On the one hand, they are an alternative to the high costs, ethical issues ...
[eng] This thesis investigates primordial black holes and their observational consequences. In the first part, we examine the behavior of domain walls produced during inflation, and their subsequent collapse, leading to ...
[eng] This thesis will present a body of articles on the research topic of soft matter. Soft matter is a research subfield of condensed matter, where the energy required for deforming the media is comparable to that of ...
Codification of genetic information; regulation of gene expression; transport of nutrients inside cells; immune protection against infectious agents; transduction of external signals... These are some of the crucial processes ...
[eng] In this PhD thesis, we leverage the well established foundations of complex systems physics and integrate insights from medicine and materials engineering to advance our understanding of neuroscience. Our primary ...
Helium is the second lightest element and the second most abundant element in the universe. It is named for the Greek god of the sun, Helios, and it was first discovered by French astronomer Jules Janssen as an unknown ...
[eng] In the last decades, great research effort was focused towards designing nanocarriers for cancer therapy. However, nanoparticle translation from basic research to the clininc has proven to be a challenging task, with ...
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a natural mode of climate variability in the tropical Pacific, which not only perturbs the local atmosphere, but whose impacts can also reach remote, extra-tropical regions through ...
Al principio de los años 60, aparecieron los primeros transistores FET en Arseniuro de Galio. En el instante en que el silicio se imponía de forma definitiva al germanio, la aparición de este nuevo material venía justificada ...
In this thesis we present a new aspect pertaining to the effective field theory of general relativity in the limit of a large number D of dimensions. We demonstrate that the theory initially developed to capture the physics ...
Intestinal cells self-organize into 3-dimensional (3D) organoids that recapitulate the in vivo structural and functional characteristics when embedded in a 3D cell-derived protein mixture (Matrigel). However, these very ...
Aquesta memòria està estructurada en set capítols i vuit apèndixs. Dels capítols, els dos primers es poden considerar introducció, mentre que la resta són ja treball original. El capítol I està dedicat a una descripció ...
[eng] Additive manufacturing, also referred as 3D printing, is a layer-by-layer technique that allows producing three-dimensional objects directly from a digital model. It has enabled the fabrication of innovative products ...
In the continuous evolution of mobile communication systems, there are many issues and aspects to be addressed, as well as in their effective implementation and deployment on cellular networks. In a general way, the most ...
The thesis reflects the research carried out on the development of truly self-powered devices. The development of devices for the scopes of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Point-of-Care devices (PoC) is shown. New ...
[eng] Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is known to be associated with the immune-mediated destruction of insulin-secreting β-cells. Cell replacement therapy is thought to be a potential long-lasting cure for diabetes. In ...
The skeletal muscle is the largest tissue of the human body. Its main function is to generate contractile forces, essential for locomotion, thermogenesis, and metabolism. Fundamental research on skeletal muscle in health ...
