(English) High voltage direct current (HVDC) technologies have been used for bulk power transmission over long distances since the 1950s. These technologies have proven to be the most cost-efficient compared to the high ...
This investigation is based on a study of the recently emerging problems in certain Mediterranean cities due to the widening gap between their physical and historical context and their natural boundaries. The first approach ...
Swiss architecture is known for its high level of quality and for being an international leader in innovation and experimentation. This is due, in part, to its close relationship with art. The thesis thematizes this fact ...
The present project is aimed to analyze the steel structure from an evolutionary point of view. The study¿s context has been the 20th century on the Catalan capital city in order to see how the historical, normative and ...
Torres del Parque Residential Complex was designed and created by Colombian architect, Rogelio Salmona, of french descent. The complex was built in the 1960s in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. Here and then, the influence ...
La presente tesis investiga la evolución de la enseñanza de Arquitectura en Brasil y la constitución del campo profesional local y su relación con el contexto socio-económico. Para ello se indaga el por qué de reproducirse ...
Our approach in this thesis has considered that, in the contemporary society, there are several ongoing technology related phenomena which are transforming their relation with architecture and, consequently, the modes of ...
Con el objetivo de identificar factores y características que faciliten y promuevan la resiliencia social-ecológica en las ciudades, esta tesis doctoral sitúa, analiza, estructura, e interpreta las prácticas urbanísticas ...
La arquitectura digital es un fenómeno reciente, que ha sido poco tratado en relación con las implicaciones de su representación gráfica. Para poder formular una reflexión sobre la incidencia diversa de lo digital en ...
Observar el diseño desde la perspectiva de la ciencia podría dar un giro asombroso a la moderna teoría del arte y diseño. Establecer un paralelismo entre el concepto moderno de diseño u obra de arte y el concepto de sistema ...
Business models can be considered as the 'logic of the firm' on how the firm creates and captures value for its stakeholders. It can be seen as a "reflection" of the strategy carried out. Thus, the present and future ...
This study set out initially to compare characteristics and possible regeneration approach between typical brownfield sites and semi-like brownfield sites in geopolitical conflict zones to identify similarities and ...
La historia de la arquitectura ha sido siempre manipulada para justificar teorías proyectuales. Por ello, al presentar las distintas corrientes contemporáneas sus teorías de historia, surge una recurrente incertidumbre ...
The main target of this research is to develop a numerical model for debris flow simulations. As it is known, in general, this kind of flows occur in steeped mountain slopes. When dealing with the complete 3D physic system ...
Distributed generation of electric energy has become part of the current electric power system. In this context a new scenario is arising in which small energy sources make up a new supply system: The microgrid.<br/><br/>The ...
Policy-making for sustainable development becomes more efficient when it is reliably backed by evidence-based decision analysis. Concretely, this is crucial in the planning of public services delivery. By translating "raw" ...
Economic growth at any expense is no longer an option. Awareness of the growing human footprint is crucial to face the problems that the impoverishment of ecosystems is causing and will cause in the future. One of the key ...
The present thesis is aimed at analyzing the concept of quality and at dis-cussing, in a unified manner, its role not only in operations management but also in strategic thinking. It criticizes the widespread view that ...
Waste treatment is an important aspect of an industry. Organic dyes are used in many fields, such as textile, paper or food. Residual dye compounds from these industries are one of the most critical sources of environmental ...
Limit analysis is relevant in many practical engineering areas such as the design of mechanical structure or the analysis of soil mechanics. The theory of limit analysis assumes a rigid, perfectly-plastic material to model ...
