This research aims to develop a theory about how interior spaces have been shaped by the furniture in them, focusing on domestic interiors published in the magazine Domus during Gio Ponti’s second tenure as editor in chief ...
Esta investigación tiene sus bases en el análisis de la obra de Donald Judd como resultado de un desarrollo plástico inducido por una argumentación en contra de la representación del espacio ilusionista propio del arte ...
This Ph.D. thesis addresses remote sensing of the atmosphere by means of lidar and S-band clear-air weather radar, and related data signal processing. Active remote sensing by means of these instruments offers unprecedented ...
(English) After more than a century of existence, a district considered marginal in my city is tragically disappearing without a trace. This inspired me to examine its development and destruction. Busan, the first industrial ...
Solution-processed thin film solar cells emerged as very promising photovoltaic technologies suitable for a low cost roll-to-roll upscale production. Such thin film character also ensures lightweight and flexibility for ...
Near-surface wind fields are typically obtained from mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models. These models describe the physics and dynamics of atmospheric phenomena with characteristic dimensions spanning from ...
Floods and Drought are some of the most catastrophic natural disasters for humanity, averaging 1 to 5 billion dollar of annually damage for flood events and 6 to 8 billion dollars respectively for drought events. To avoid ...
This thesis aims at exploring the limits of low peak-power, low-cost, all-semiconductor, compact lidars (laser radars) for range-resolved remote sensing of atmospheric aerosols and clouds. The systems investigated are based ...
Watermelon, Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus, and eggplant, Solanum melongena, are two major crops commonly grafted onto resistant rootstocks for controlling soilborne diseases. However, there are currently no commercially ...
Recent increase in performance of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems has been followed by even higher increase in power consumption. Power draw of modern supercomputers leads to very high operating costs and ...
The development of methods that correlate the measure of dynamic parameters with the condition of the structure has received a considerable attention from the engineering community in the last few years. In the field of ...
The initial molecular events that take place at biomaterials interface mimic to a certain extent the natural interaction of cells with the extracellular matrix (ECM). In this thesis we describe the fate of adsorbed type ...
Modelling geotechnical problems involving large deformation is a research field that arouses growing interest since it is fundamental for evaluating the risk and quantifying the magnitude of consequences. However, it is ...
It is well known that load imbalance is a major source of efficiency loss in HPC (High Performance Computing) environments. The load imbalance problem has very different sources, from static ones related to the data ...
This thesis focuses on the control methods applied to current source resonant converters, especially in two different applications of switching power supplies and wire-less power transfer systems. In fact, the existing ...
During the last decades, urban mobility has become the main concern for city councils and transportation operators. The main problem is the traffic congestion that easily appears in urban networks, producing negative ...
(English) Earmarked as the revolutionary 5G key enabler, Network Slicing (NS) is the embodiment of the concept of running multiple logical networks as virtually independent business operations on a common physical ...
Triggered by emerging services such as high-definition video distribution or social networking, the IP traffic volume has been exponentially increasing to date. Furthermore, the traffic growth rate will not stop here due ...
Es ampliamente conocido que los modelos de error para sensores inerciales tienen dos componentes: El primero es un componente determinista que normalmente es calibrado por el fabricante en el firmware de la IMU. El segundo ...
