La determinació de l’índex alfa total en aigües és d’interès per ser un dels paràmetres inclòs en la legislació nacional e internacional associada a la qualitat de l’aigua per al consum humà. Aquest índex informa de la ...
Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) presents objectively proven advantages in terms of post-cracking strength and manufacturing procedures. As a result, FRC with structural responsibility is increasingly being used in the ...
Optical access technology has experienced a boost in the last years, thanks to the continuously migrating multimedia services that are offered over the internet. Though the technologies used for deploying Fiber-To-The-x ...
Radiation therapy is one of the main modalities used for treating cancer patients, together with surgery and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy treatments can be carried out with a great variety of devices, but most treatments are ...
Interplanetary travel is a difficult task due to the high fuel mass required to reach other planets. Minimizing the cost of the manoeuvres (and, in turn, the fuel mass) is the objective preliminary mission design. During ...
In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), the ability of sensor nodes to know its position is an enabler for a wide variety of applications for monitoring, control, and automation. Often, sensor data is meaningful only if its ...
En aquest treball s'estudia el problema de la compressió de video utilitzant funcionalitats basades en el contingut en el marc teòric dels sistemes de codificació de seqüències de video basats en regions. Es tracten ...
This Thesis addresses common operational issues related to maritime container terminals. In the last decades, containerization of maritime transportation has grown very rapidly, forcing terminal operators to cope with ...
Algorithms (EA) are useful optimization methods for exploration of the search space, but they usually have slowness problems to exploit and converge to the minimum with accuracy. On the other hand, gradient based methods ...
This Thesis work addresses the challenge of designing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) dosage Strategies for improving Fenton and photo-Fenton applications. The determination of the H2O2 dosage scheme that minimizes hydrogen ...
Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) languages promise to deliver improved programmer productivity and good performance in large-scale parallel machines. However, adequate performance for applications that rely on ...
(English) Handling the tsunami of multimedia content is a big challenge for heterogeneous cellular networks. Serving large volumes of content from the central system to end-users, through a bandwidth-limited network, at ...
Signaling in Next Generation IP-based networks heavily relies in the family of multimedia signaling protocols defined by IETF. Two of these signaling protocols are RTSP and SIP, which are text-based, client-server, ...
Since the invention of the transistor, clock frequency increase was the primary method of improving computing performance. As the reach of Moore's law came to an end, however, technology driven performance gains became ...
SIMD accelerators are ubiquitous in microprocessors from different computing domains. Their high compute power and hardware simplicity improve overall performance in an energy efficient manner. Moreover, their replicated ...
The growing interest that multimedia processing has experimented during the last decade is motivating processor designers to reconsider which execution paradigms are the most appropriate for general-purpose processors. On ...
(English) With the advance of UAV-related technology using several drones in the context of a single mission becomes more and more common. New problems and challenges appear as a result. When analyzing research works ...
Water pollution is an alarming problem that endangers the health of all living beings. The textile industry is listed as one of the most contaminating industries, since in order to carry out its dyeing and finishing ...
Mechanical resonators based on low dimensional materials have attracted a lot of attention due to their remarkable properties. Their ultra-low mass and high Q factors make them exceptional sensors, offering new possibilities ...
Suspended monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) aremembranes that combine ultralow mass and exceptional optical prop-erties, making them intriguing materials for opto-mechanical applica-tions. However, the low ...
