    Physico-chemical aspects on molecular motors 

    Ciudad Álvarez, Aleix (Date of defense: 2008-05-15)

    [eng] The discovery of molecular motors was not a single and isolated event but a set of gradual approaches from microscopic to nanoscopic systems. For example, the knowledge of the activity of muscle cells is pretty old, ...

    Estudi experimental de la dinàmica d'un front fluid en un medi desordenat 

    Planet Latorre, Ramon (Date of defense: 2009-10-23)

    La imbibició és un procés de transport de fluids immiscibles en un medi desordenat en el qual el fluid que mulla preferentment el medi desplaça el fluid resident. La interfície que separa aquests dos fluids esta sotmesa a ...

    Entanglement in Many Body Quantum Systems 

    Riera Graells, Arnau (Date of defense: 2010-03-18)

    THESIS SUMMARY<br/><br/>TEXT:<br/><br/>This thesis is made of two parts. In the first one, the issue of entanglement in many body systems is addressed. The concept of entanglement and some of the recent progress on the ...

    [spa] El proyecto de tesis está enfocado en el estudio de la evolución del Universo y más concretamente en la explicación del mecanismo que produce su actual expansión acelerada, y que probablemente sea el mismo que ha ...

    Effects of the dipole-dipole interaction on the physics of ultracold quantum gases 

    Abad García, Marta (Date of defense: 2012-02-16)

    In this thesis we study the effects of the dipole-dipole interaction on the physics of ultracold quantum gases, both bosonic and fermionic, within the theoretical framework provided by the mean-field regime. This kind of ...

    Charmed baryon resonances and mesons in hot and dense matter 

    Jiménez Tejero, Clara Estela (Date of defense: 2012-03-05)

    In this thesis we have studied baryon resonances generated from the dynamical interaction of two hadrons. We are interested on this study as an alternative approach to explain the increasing number of observed charmed ...

    First measurements of radiative B decays in LHCb 

    Puig Navarro, Albert (Date of defense: 2012-03-09)

    Radiative decays of B mesons, a good example of Flavor Changing Neutral Currents, are interesting for the study of physics beyond the Standard Model, as new high-energy phenomena can enter in the loop. The LHCb experiment, ...
