After a myocardial infarction, the affected areas of the cardiac tissue suffer changes in their electrical and mechanical properties. This post-infarction scar tissue has been related with a particular type of arrhythmia: ...
Quantum memories (QMs) for light represent a fundamental ingredient for the development of a quantum internet. Among other applications, they are a building block for the distribution of entanglement on large scale, i.e. ...
This thesis is dedicated to the study of secret sharing schemes, which are cryptographic methods to share information in a secure way. The topics that are considered in the thesis are two of the main open problems in secret ...
In the post-operational phase of a Low/Intermediate-Low radioactive waste repository, gas will be generated in the caverns due to anaerobic corrosion of metals, and also chemical and microbial degradation of organic ...
Numerical simulation play an important role in the design, engineering, operation and management of buildings. It can help reducing energy consumption, improving indoor air quality and thermal comfort and provide quantitative ...
L'anàlisi de moviment i seguiment d'objectes ha estat un dels pricipals focus d'atenció en la comunitat de visió per computador durant les dues darreres dècades. L'interès per aquesta àrea de recerca resideix en el seu ...
(English) Our ability to confine, guide, and bend light has led to astonishing technological achievements, playing a fundamental role in diverse fields like microscopy, photochemistry, telecommunications or material design. ...
Gas problems have created severe difficulties for the mining industry around the world, leading to high expenditures and intensity research efforts, and determined attempts to enhance the various ventilation optimization ...
The aim of this memoir is to study multiplier ideals in two-dimensional local rings having at worst rational singularities. We also want to extend this study to the case of mixed multiplier ideals. The main achievements ...
Reactive transport modeling is a methodological tool to study the coupled physical, chemical and biological processes in Earth system. It is complex not only because of the nature of the equations, but also because of the ...
La segmentación de imágenes es una técnica que tiene como finalidad dividir una imagen en un conjunto de regiones, asignando a cada objeto en la escena una o varias regiones. Para obtener una segmentación correcta, cada ...
Integrin-based cell adhesion is a key mechanism in fundamental biological processes such as cell migration and wound healing, and in diseases like osteoporosis and cancer. For example, during migration, cells form adhesion ...
Cardiac myocytes constitute a unique physiological system. They are the muscle cells that build up heart tissue and provide the force to pump blood by synchronously contracting at every beat. This contraction is regulated ...
European Historic Urban Districts are highly appreciated by their inhabitants and visitors and they can be considered as one of the most valuable collective achievements of the European culture. The preservation of our ...
Physical vapor deposited hard coatings comprised of cubic (c) transition metal (TM)-Al-N, and (TM)-Si-N are the current work horse materials for a large number of metal cutting and wear resistant applicatíons to light ...
The present dissertation is an in-depth investigation from the macro to atomic scale of industrial wear-resistant CVD hard coatings deposited on cemented carbides for cutting tool applications. Micro-compression tests at ...
The improvements in terms of computational power provides the capability to analyze with more detail the materials behavior. On one hand, going deeper in the materials to study an increasingly smaller dimension and capture ...
Most of the existing materials around us can be considered composite materials, since they are composed by several phases or components at certain spatial scale. The physical and chemical properties of composites, as occurs ...
La humedad del suelo es la variable que regula los intercambios de agua, energía, y carbono entre la tierra y la atmósfera. Mediciones precisas de humedad son necesarias para una gestión sostenible de los recursos hídricos, ...
