Towards a virtual platform for aerodynamic design, performance assessment and optimization of horizontal axis wind turbines
This thesis focuses on the study and improvement of the techniques involved on a virtual platform for the simulation of the Aerodynamics of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines, with the ultimate objective of making Wind Energy ...
Towards a “Weak Poetics”: J. M. Coetzee’s Literary Thinking
This study is aimed at exploring the meaning of literary thinking as revealed in J. M. Coetzee’s approach to fictional writing. Unlike other prominent figures in contemporary literature, Coetzee has constantly captured the ...
Towards adaptative monitoring for self-adaptative systems
Nowadays, most of the approaches supporting self-adaptive systems (SASs) rely on static feedback control loops, for managing their adaptation process. One of the most popular feedback loops is the MAPE-K loop. In this loop, ...
Towards an ecological approach to understanding the neurophysiological bases of human error-monitoring
To err is certainly human. Detect and correct our errors are fundamental during our interaction with the outside world. Therefore, understanding the nature of the brain mechanisms involved in the flexible evaluation of ...
Towards an emergency economic science: Beyond Adolph Lowe's critique to economics
[eng] We live surrounded by emergencies in a context of economic uncertainty: environmental damage, economic crises, and political conflict are only some examples that cast serious doubts about the political relevance of ...
Towards an image-term co-occurence model for multilingual terminology alignment and cross-language image indexing
This thesis addresses the potential that the relation between terms and images in multilingual specialized documentation has for glossary compilation, terminology alignment, and image indexing. It takes advantage of the ...
Towards an inclusive environmental governance model. Analysing the interface between the Arganeraie Biosphere Reserve (Morocco) and two local communities
Aquesta tesi es basa en estudis de ciència de conservació post-normal i governança ambiental per a investigar els processos de governança ambiental a la Reserva de la Biosfera de l’Arganareda (RBA) al Marroc i dues de les ...
Towards an integrated control of peach powdery mildew (Podosphaera pannosa) through the application of molecular tools in epidemiological and genetic resistance studies
La malaltia de l’oïdi o cendrosa del presseguer, causada pel fong ascomicet Podosphaera pannosa, pot arribar a causar pèrdues greus en la producció i en la qualitat del fruit. Actualment, el control de l’oïdi es basa en ...
Towards an integrated framework of sports sponsorship life-cycle process and digitalization: a case study of Euroleague Basketball
El fenomen de la transformació digital està afectant la indústria de l'esport, incloses les pràctiques de màrqueting i específicament del patrocini. El procés del cicle de vida del patrocini és una pràctica ben establerta ...
Towards an integrated removal of nitrogen and sulphur in biological treatments of tannery-like wastewaters
El present treball es centra en la integració de processos innovadors per a la remoció biològica de Nitrogen i Sofre. La desnitrificació parcial ha sorgit com a procés innovador per actuar en sinergia amb el anammox, com ...
Towards an internet of trust: issues and solutions for identification and authentication in the internet of things
La Internet de las Cosas está avanzando lentamente debido a la falta de confianza en dispositivos que puedan interactuar de manera autónoma. Además, se requieren nuevos enfoques para mitigar o al menos paliar ataques de ...
Towards an Understanding of Ribonucleotide Reduction in Bacteria: a comprehensive study in Streptococcus pyogenes and Escherichia coli
Les Ribonucleotidil reductases (RNRs) són un grup d'enzims que catalitzen la reducció de ribonucleòtids (NTPs) a desoxiribonucleòtids (dNTPs), proporcionant a tots els organismes vius la quantitat necessària de monòmers ...
Towards Artificial Photosynthesis: Photoelectrochemical CO2 Reduction to Solar Fuels
This thesis is devoted to prove the concept of the CO(2) reduction to CH(4) with a decreasing in the voltage requirements using a photocatalytic mechanism. Subsequently, part of the solar energy is transferred to the ...
Towards assessing information privacy in microblogging online social networks. The IPAM framework
Les xarxes socials en línia incorporen diferents formes de comunicació interactiva com serveis de microblogs, compartició de fitxers multimèdia o xarxes de contactes professionals. En els últims anys han augmentat els ...
Towards audio-visual deep learning methods for singing voice separation and lip synchronization
A typical music audio consists of different sounds spread across voices and musical instruments. We propose a low-cost deep learning (DL) method for simultaneously isolating multiple sound sources present in a music ...
Towards Automatic Generation of Performance Models for Dynamic Tuning using Machine Learning
New approaches are necessary to generate performance models in current systems due the het erogeneity found in new systems. An alternative to traditional analytical models could be the use of machine learning algorithms, ...
Towards better management of combined sewer systems. A methodology based on low-cost monitoring
In combined sewer systems (CSS) wastewater and stormwater flow through the same pipes. During severe rain episodes, the excess combined flow of untreated wastewater and stormwater is released out from the system through ...
Towards biological and ecological knowledge of Lophius spp. in the NW Mediterranean Sea for a sustainable fishery
In the northwestern Mediterranean Sea, anglerfishes Lophius budegassa Spinola, 1807 and Lophius piscatorius Linnaeus, 1758 are among the most valuable demersal species and support an important fishery. Both anglerfishes ...
Towards cognitive in-operation network planning
Next-generation internet services such as live TV and video on demand require high bandwidth and ultra-low latency. The ever-increasing volume, dynamicity and stringent requirements of these services’ demands are generating ...
