Convección natural en cavidades tridimensionales 

    Sánchez Casals, Odalys (Date of defense: 2015-11-10)

    The modelling of convective transport processes involving heat and mass transfer in an incompressible Newtonian fluid in cylindrical domains is a relevant research subject both for theoretical research and for industry. ...

    Neuronal oscillations: from single-unit activity to emergent dynamics and back 

    Sancristóbal Alonso, Belén de (Date of defense: 2013-07-22)

    L’objectiu principal d’aquesta tesi és avançar en la comprensió del processament d’informació en xarxes neuronals en presència d’oscil lacions subumbrals. La majoria de neurones propaguen la seva activitat elèctrica a ...

    Time-varying networks approach to social dynamics : from individual to collective behavior 

    Starnini, Michele (Date of defense: 2014-10-24)

    The data revolution experienced by social science has revealed complex patterns of interactions in human dynamics, such as the heterogeneity and burstiness of social contacts. The recently uncovered temporal dimension of ...

    Variational mechanics and stochastic methods applied to structural design 

    Andujar Moreno, Rabindranath (Date of defense: 2015-02-03)

    This thesis explores a very well understood area of physics: computational structural dynamics. The aim is to stretch its boundaries by merging it with another very well established discipline such as structural design and ...
