Gas problems have created severe difficulties for the mining industry around the world, leading to high expenditures and intensity research efforts, and determined attempts to enhance the various ventilation optimization ...
The aim of this memoir is to study multiplier ideals in two-dimensional local rings having at worst rational singularities. We also want to extend this study to the case of mixed multiplier ideals. The main achievements ...
Reactive transport modeling is a methodological tool to study the coupled physical, chemical and biological processes in Earth system. It is complex not only because of the nature of the equations, but also because of the ...
La segmentación de imágenes es una técnica que tiene como finalidad dividir una imagen en un conjunto de regiones, asignando a cada objeto en la escena una o varias regiones. Para obtener una segmentación correcta, cada ...
Integrin-based cell adhesion is a key mechanism in fundamental biological processes such as cell migration and wound healing, and in diseases like osteoporosis and cancer. For example, during migration, cells form adhesion ...
Cardiac myocytes constitute a unique physiological system. They are the muscle cells that build up heart tissue and provide the force to pump blood by synchronously contracting at every beat. This contraction is regulated ...
European Historic Urban Districts are highly appreciated by their inhabitants and visitors and they can be considered as one of the most valuable collective achievements of the European culture. The preservation of our ...
Physical vapor deposited hard coatings comprised of cubic (c) transition metal (TM)-Al-N, and (TM)-Si-N are the current work horse materials for a large number of metal cutting and wear resistant applicatíons to light ...
The present dissertation is an in-depth investigation from the macro to atomic scale of industrial wear-resistant CVD hard coatings deposited on cemented carbides for cutting tool applications. Micro-compression tests at ...
The improvements in terms of computational power provides the capability to analyze with more detail the materials behavior. On one hand, going deeper in the materials to study an increasingly smaller dimension and capture ...
Most of the existing materials around us can be considered composite materials, since they are composed by several phases or components at certain spatial scale. The physical and chemical properties of composites, as occurs ...
La humedad del suelo es la variable que regula los intercambios de agua, energía, y carbono entre la tierra y la atmósfera. Mediciones precisas de humedad son necesarias para una gestión sostenible de los recursos hídricos, ...
(English) Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) holds immense promise for mitigating atmospheric CO2 emissions, making the sealing capacity of caprocks pivotal as storage scales up. Despite excellent sealing capacities observed ...
The presence of renewables in energy systems optimization have generated a high level of uncertainty in the data, which has led to a need for applying stochastic optimization to modelling problems with this characteristic. ...
The theories of gravity are one of the most important topics in theoretical physics and mathematical physics nowadays. The classical formulation of gravity uses the Hilbert-Einstein Lagrangian, which is a singular ...
Offshore wind is emerging as one of the future energy vectors. Offshore wind power plants locations provide more strong and constant wind speed that allows to extract more power compared to onshore locations. In addition, ...
The application of spectroscopic techniques is crucial for art historians and conservators who require knowledge of materials used in works of art (pigments, dyes, binders, additives, ...) in particular instances. In this ...
Wave-storms are the responsible of the main changes in the Coast. Their detailed characterization results in a better design of any marine structure. The most common approach to describe wave-storms is to simplify the event ...
Malignant tumours of the brain represent one of the most difficult to treat types of cancer due to the sensitive organ they affect. Clinical management of the pathology becomes even more intricate as the tumour mass increases ...
