Floods and Drought are some of the most catastrophic natural disasters for humanity, averaging 1 to 5 billion dollar of annually damage for flood events and 6 to 8 billion dollars respectively for drought events. To avoid ...
This thesis aims at exploring the limits of low peak-power, low-cost, all-semiconductor, compact lidars (laser radars) for range-resolved remote sensing of atmospheric aerosols and clouds. The systems investigated are based ...
Watermelon, Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus, and eggplant, Solanum melongena, are two major crops commonly grafted onto resistant rootstocks for controlling soilborne diseases. However, there are currently no commercially ...
Recent increase in performance of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems has been followed by even higher increase in power consumption. Power draw of modern supercomputers leads to very high operating costs and ...
The development of methods that correlate the measure of dynamic parameters with the condition of the structure has received a considerable attention from the engineering community in the last few years. In the field of ...
The initial molecular events that take place at biomaterials interface mimic to a certain extent the natural interaction of cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM). In this thesis we describe the fate of adsorbed type ...
Modelling geotechnical problems involving large deformation is a research field that arouses growing interest since it is fundamental for evaluating the risk and quantifying the magnitude of consequences. However, it is ...
It is well known that load imbalance is a major source of efficiency loss in HPC (High Performance Computing) environments. The load imbalance problem has very different sources, from static ones related to the data ...
This thesis focuses on the control methods applied to current source resonant converters, especially in two different applications of switching power supplies and wire-less power transfer systems. In fact, the existing ...
During the last decades, urban mobility has become the main concern for city councils and transportation operators. The main problem is the traffic congestion that easily appears in urban networks, producing negative ...
(English) Earmarked as the revolutionary 5G key enabler, Network Slicing (NS) is the embodiment of the concept of running multiple logical networks as virtually independent business operations on a common physical ...
Triggered by emerging services such as high-definition video distribution or social networking, the IP traffic volume has been exponentially increasing to date. Furthermore, the traffic growth rate will not stop here due ...
Es ampliamente conocido que los modelos de error para sensores inerciales tienen dos componentes: El primero es un componente determinista que normalmente es calibrado por el fabricante en el firmware de la IMU. El segundo ...
En aquesta tesi es construeix un simulador numèric de la paret abdominal inferior, per tal de determinar la gènesis i les causes de les hernies inguinal humanes. Així, un model amb dades reals d'aquesta regió del cos humà ...
In this Thesis we have presented the results of a set of experimental investigations of the dynamics of delay-coupled semiconductor lasers. The characterization of these systems includes topics such as the processing of ...
Due to the rich dynamic properties of the equilibria of the Restricted Three Body Problem (RTBP), the libration point orbits (LPOs) around them are ideal locations for scientific missions. Fortunately, these invariant ...
This thesis is focused on the study of dynamics and control of a multi-tethered satellite formation, where a multi-tethered formation is made up with several satellites (agents) connected by means of cables (tethers). The ...
The occurrence of heat waves and cold spells has received special attention in recent years due to their impact on human health, ecosystems and economy. In the context of climate change, there is evidence that extreme ...
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 ...
