Development of chemical separation processes for the treatment and monitoring of metallic cations and oxoanions in polluted waters
The chemical contamination of natural waters is a global problem with a worldwide impact. Considering the relevance of this problem, this thesis is intended, on one hand, to develop different separation/preconcentration ...
Development of chiral metal-catalysts for the selective formation of C-H, C-C and C-X bonds. From design to application
La creixent demanda de compostos enantiomèricament purs ha suscitat un major interès en el desenvolupament de metodologies per a l'obtenció d'aquests compostos. Entre aquestes metodologies, la catàlisi asimètrica destaca ...
Development of cognitive workload models to detect driving impairment
Driving a vehicle is a complex activity exposed to continuous changes such as speed limits and vehicular traffic. Drivers require a high degree of concentration when performing this activity, increasing the amount of mental ...
Development of computational and experimental tools for the identification of small proteins in bacterial genomes
Small proteins (SEPs; <100aa) are involved in essential processes such as cell homeostasis, signalling, or metabolism. However, they have been overlooked because of computational and experimental difficulties that prevent ...

Development of Context-Aware Recommenders of Sequences of Touristic Activities
En els últims anys, els sistemes de recomanació s'han fet omnipresents a la xarxa. Molts serveis web, inclosa la transmissió de pel·lícules, la cerca web i el comerç electrònic, utilitzen sistemes de recomanació per facilitar ...
Development of control systems and state observers for efficiency and durability improvement in PEM fuel cell based systems
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, which use hydrogen as fuel, provide high power densities while operating at lower temperatures, reducing the cost of materials and maintenance. PEM fuel cells are suitable for a ...
Development of crystallographic methods for phasing highly modulated macromolecular structures
Pathologies that result in highly modulated intensities in macromolecular crystal structures pose a challenge for structure solution. To address this issue two studies have been performed: a theoretical study of one of ...
Development of Cu(2)ZnSn(S,Se)(4) based solar cells
Thin film solar cell technologies are rapidly developing, and chalcopyrite (Cu(In,Ga)Se2) based devices have demonstrated the highest power conversion efficiencies on the laboratory scale. However, in spite of this promise, ...
Development of Cu2ZnSnSe4 Based Thin Film Solar Cells by PVD and Chemical Based Processes
Nowadays mono- and multicrystalline silicon have the highest market share of all PV technologies but thin film solar cells based on CdTe or Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) absorbers recently show promising high power conversion ...
