Dynamical instabilities which lead to spontaneous pattern formation are present in a wide variety of nonlinear dynamical systems, both in nature as well as in technological areas. The instabilities may be saturating, leading ...
Tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia doped with 3 mol% yttria (3Y-TZP) has become one of the most popular dental ceramics. Thanks to its outstanding mechanical properties (including high hardness. Toughness and wear ...
This thesis deals with the surface modification of cellulosic substrates by use of chemo-enzymatic methods. Functionalizing cellulose is intended to adjust its properties for various purposes, but particularly for obtaining ...
Debido a sus excelentes propiedades mecánicas y una excelente biocompatibilidad, el uso de las cerámicas de base de circona en aplicaciones dentales y ortopédicas ha crecido rápidamente durante las últimas décadas. Sin ...
The spread of bacteria and infections, initially associated with an increased number of hospital-acquired infections, has now extended into the community causing severe and difficult to treat diseases. Additionally, many ...
En aquesta tesi s'estudia la passivació del silici cristal·lí per a la producció de cèl·lules solars d'alta eficiència (> 20%) a baix preu.<br/>Actualment la indústria fotovoltaica empra capes de nitrur de silici crescut ...
This thesis introduces a methodology for obtaining an alternative representation of video sequences captured by calibrated multi-camera systems in controlled environments with known scene background. This representation ...
Tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia stabilized with 3 mol% of yttria (3Y-TZP) is a biocompatible ceramic showing superior mechanical properties, which are partly the consequence of phase transformation: the tetragonal ...
(English) Intraluminal procedures have opened up a new sub-field of minimally invasive surgery that use flexible instruments to navigate through complex luminal structures of the body, resulting in reduced invasiveness and ...
L'anàlisi de la supervivència s'utilitza en diversos àmbits per tal d'analitzar dades que mesuren el temps transcorregut entre dos successos. També s'anomena anàlisi de la història dels esdeveniments, anàlisi de temps de ...
The research developed in this thesis has been motivated by two datasets, which are introduced in Chapter 2, one concerning the mortality of calves from birth to weaning while the other refers to survival of patients ...
This thesis approaches the question of sustainability and firm performance. In the contemporary business model, firm performance measurement must take into account not only economic profits, but also environmental and ...
The construction of mass housings (MHs) solved high demands for housing in urban areas in the 1960s and 1970s worldwide. After decades of continuous use and inadequate maintenance, these MHs have been censured due to their ...
Due to the related problems and the ongoing awareness on environmental issues is that efforts are put in different areas of knowledge, in order to determine, analyze and formulate solutions towards a sustainable future. ...
The social, environmental and economic side effects of the street lighting are the foremost concern for this thesis, since the expanding use of light at night, along with an inappropriate design, has led a large energy ...
Many people lose their homes every year due to natural disasters. One of the major challenges to mollify displaced persons is the provision of adequate post-disaster accommodations, temporary housing (TH) being the most ...
Nowadays, around 690 million undernourished people worldwide, even though the world already produces enough food to feed more than the whole current population. This situation is far from diminishing due to the current ...
Cementitious materials have one of the highest compressive strength-to-weight ratios compared to other construction materials. Nonetheless, both tensile strength capacity and toughness result to be an order of magnitude ...
The purpose of this doctoral research dissertation is to examine sustainable business model (SBM) perspectives for the rapidly developing Battery Second Use (B2U) market within the emerging electric vehicle (EV) industry. ...
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the influence of climate and health policies on personal well-being and the environment or both as well as how household behaviour influences the sustainability of health goals – ...
