Analytical disciplines are an important field for the progress of healthcare and medicine. In fact the technologies related to analytical disciplines may reveal important information for early diagnosis, treatment of ...
lnfectious diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide while the constantly raising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major concern for the public health. During the infection establishment bacteria! pathogens ...
Single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy has revolutionized the field of biophysical sciences by enabling visualization of dynamic molecular interactions and nanoscopic features with high spatiotemporal resolution. ...
Photonics is a key enabling technology for many applications ranging from communications to energy and medicine. Its success is largely relying on our capability to appropriately control light in optical devices. To this ...
(English) Among the fundamental constituents of matter, charged particles such electrons and positrons are leading protagonists in physical phenomena associated with small (~ meV) and high (~ MeV) energy scales. For example, ...
Ultrafast pulses allow observation of molecular dynamics with femtosecond time resolution through pump probe experiments. However, averaging over an ensemble of molecules tends to wash out phase sensitive information, ...
Photonic antennas are metallic (or dielectric) nanoscale structures that convert propagating light into highly confined fields, and vice versa, in analogy to common radio antennas but on nanometric scales that lead to ...
El control dinámico y determinístico de la luz en una escala espacial por debajo de la longitud de onda es un requisito clave para ampliar los conceptos y las funcionalidades de la macro-óptica hasta la escala nanométrica. ...
The accelerated emergence of drug resistant bacteria is one of the most serious problems in healthcare and the difficulties in finding new antibiotics make it even more challenging. To overcome the action of antibiotics ...
This dissertation aims to contribute to the understanding of the role accorded to information technology in architecture. For this purpose the dissertation presents a look at some of the dominant models developed in the ...
This thesis describes experimental work to generate and characterise single photons and photon pairs, with frequency content suitable for controlled interaction with cold rubidium atoms. We describe a photon-pair source, ...
In the Amazon region, few data are available on the impacts caused by the urban settlements found in the proximity of estuaries. In the estuary of the Caeté River, the focus of the present study, the nutrient input is ...
Peach and nectarine tree belongs to the species Prunus persica and is the third most produced fruit species in the world. Within Europe, Spain is a leading producer. Most of the crops are located in Catalonia (northeastern ...
The role of natural light in the health and wellbeing of users is a central subject to architectural design today. Sustainability and energy efficiency are also leading concerns. Therefore, new and existing buildings must ...
This research studies the topic of negotiation in the business field at a national and international level, and in particular the concept of negotiation capability, understanding that the negotiation processes generally ...
This thesis presents new applications of Gale duality to the study of polytopes with extremal combinatorial properties. It consists in two parts. The first one is devoted to the construction of neighborly polytopes and ...
With the proliferation of smart devices that require Internet connectivity anytime, anywhere, and the recent technological advances that make it possible, current networked systems will have to provide a various range of ...
The introduction of third generation (3G) technologies has caused a vast proliferation of wireless devices and networks, generating an increasing demand for high level Quality of Service (QoS). The wide spread of mobile ...
In an attempt to understand how Internet-like network and social networks behave, different models have been proposed and studied throughout history to capture their most essential aspects and properties. Network Creation ...
During the last decades, mobile network operators have witnessed an exponential increase in the traffic demand, mainly due to the high request of services from a huge amount of users. The trend is of a further increase in ...
