Every year, with the onset of spring rains and snow melting, landslides represent one of the major threats to human life and infrastructures in natural environments. In this context, different surveying techniques, such ...
It is widely known that wind and wave predictions in the nearshore are less precise for semi enclosed domains than in the open ocean. The Catalan coast is a clear example of this situation, with a wave climate controlled ...
Aqueta tesi tracta dues aplicacions dels estadístics d'ordre superior al tractament d'imatges.En primer lloc, es proposa l'ús de mètodes basats en estadístics d'ordre superior per a larestauració d'imatges. Primerament, ...
(English) There is currently significant scientific and technological interest in ultrathin materials, with at least one dimension in the nm range or even smaller, since they possess features not achievable with their ...
La informació sobre el temps de viatge és l'indicador clau en el funcionament operatiu d’una autopista i un dels inputs més apreciats pels seus usuaris. Tot i això, no ha estat fins molt darrerament que els operadors ...
The dynamics of the climate system plays a crucial role in the sustainability of life on Earth, and this motivates research to understand and characterise our climate and predict its evolution. In this thesis we focus on ...
(English) Coloured glazes and glasses have attracted human interest since antiquity for their aesthetic appeal and multiple functionalities. As indicators of technological progress, artistic expression, and social ...
The importance of fire as a potential initiator of multiple-system failures took on a new perspective after the cable-tray fire at Browns Ferry in 1975 The review have shown that the first generation Nuclear Power Plant ...
In this thesis we study the geography of irregular complex projective (or compact Kähler) varieties, paying special attention to the existence of fibrations. The thesis is divided into two parts. In the first one we ...
(English) The Restricted 3-Body Problem models the motion of a body of negligible mass under the gravitational influence of two massive bodies, called the primaries. If the primaries perform circular motions and the ...
The goal of this thesis is the study of homoclinic orbits in conservative systems (area-preserving maps and Hamiltonian systems). We consider homoclinic (bi-asymptotic) orbits either to saddle periodic orbits or to whiskered ...
En la tesi s'aborda el problema de l'homogeneïtat d'estil en el Tirant lo Blanc mitjançant l'ús de l'estilometria. Les hipòtesis al voltant de l'autoria del Tirant lo Blanc van des de l'autoria única de Joanot Martorell a ...
Parasitism is a widespread interaction that has evolved practically in all branches of the tree of life. It has historically been neglected in studies of marine microbial systems, limiting our understanding of marine food ...
Numerical and experimental simulation of engineering materials has been an emerging topic for recent decades. Reliable and efficient numerical simulations are only possible through correct and pragmatic modeling approaches. ...
La tesis recupera la idea de la arquitectura que parte de procesos de colaboración entre arquitecto y artista; rescatando aquellas obras que en México revolucionaron y traspasaron las concepciones tradicionales de los ...
This thesis approaches the study of seaside hotels as imagined by Jose Antonio Coderch at the beginning of mass tourism in Spain, when small, traditional, family-run hotels scattered along the coastline were transformed ...
During the last few decades, Saudi Arabia, as one of the developing countries, has witnessed a noticeable and rapid development with regard to different development sectors and fields. This is mainly attributed to the ...
The memory system is a significant contributor for most of the current challenges in computer architecture: application performance bottlenecks and operational costs in large data-centers as HPC supercomputers. With the ...
The main objective of this thesis is to determine the possibility to install in the Port of Palma a redistribution centre of Ro-Ro Cargo in the Occidental Mediterranean, and that needs to analyze different partial objectives, ...
Advances in wearable technologies are facilitating the understanding of human activities using first-person vision (FPV) for a wide range of assistive applications. In this thesis, we propose robust multiple motion features ...
