Mitigation of environmental and operational variability in structural health monitoring through hybrid procedures and latent variables
Els procediments actuals d’inspecció visual per controlar i mantenir les infraestructures tendeixen a ser costosos i a vegades poc fiables. Diversos problemes amb aquests procediments han provocat investigacions sobre ...
Neural Approaches to Prognostics and Health Management of Rolling Stock
El transport ferroviari es una solució de mobilitat que ha de ser alhora fiable i segura. Amb aquesta finalitat, el manteniment predictiu se centra en aplicar la ciència de dades per a maximitzar la disponibilitat dels ...
Towards development of novel circular RNA-based antiviral therapies
Currently, there are no antiviral strategies to rapidly respond to novel emerging viruses or to mosquito borne viruses. On this thesis we have developed an innovative artificial circular RNA (circRNA) antiviral platform ...
Development, optimization and experimental validation of smart devices for substations and power transmission lines
(English) In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the growth of electricity demand. This electricity demand requires retrofitting of lines or exploiting the maximum capacity of existing power lines. In ...
Novel nanoelectronic circuits and systems
(English) Lately, in the rise of the era of 2D materials, Graphene is one of the materials that has been extensively investigated for its possible integration in computing devices and thus computing circuits. This is mainly ...
The surface defect identification problem in the industry: a novel approach with semantic segmentation and generative adversarial networks
(English) Surface inspection of coated surfaces in the automotive industry, traditionally has been a manual process in charge of keen eye operators in charge of inspecting the whole car body. However, as might be deducted, ...
Estudio de la modulación de los receptores adenosinérgicos como tratamiento complementario en la Fibrosis Quística
[spa] La Fibrosis Quística (FQ) es una enfermedad autosómica recesiva causada por variantes patogénicas en el gen Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator (CFTR). La proteína resultante, también llamada CFTR, se expresa en ...
Identit.art. Exploración de narrativas identitarias a través del arte
L'educació artística s'ha relegat a una matèria de segona en el context estatal actual. Sense valorar la seva capacitat per a expressar emocions, fer lectures històriques, prendre consciència i potenciar la seva capacitat ...
CERKL as a modulator gene of mitochondrial dynamics and stress response in the retina
[eng] Inherited Retinal Dystrophies (IRDs) are a clinically and genetically highly heterogeneous group of genetic pathologies characterized by progressive attrition of photoreceptor cells and other retinal neurons, which ...
Unravelling seabird-fishery dynamics through bird-borne technologies
[eng] Seabirds and fisheries share the same fishing resources and grounds, resulting in their inevitable interaction, with significant conservation implications for the firsts. Seabirds scavenging on fishery waste modify ...
Genetic predisposition to radiotherapy-induced toxicity
[eng] During radiotherapy (RT) some healthy tissues are irradiated inevitably causing side effects, without being able to predict nowadays which patients will develop this toxicity. To date, the biomarker with the best ...
Facing Global Change: Impacts of drying and human pressures on invertebrate diversity and organic matter processing in a Mediterranean stream network
[eng] Intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES) currently constitute half of the global river network, occurring ubiquitously. Characterised by natural and periodic cessations of flow, IRES are proliferating due to ...
Optimizing serverless architectures for data-intensive analytics workloads
(English) Recently, serverless computing has garnered attention from academia and industry due to its on-demand resource provisioning, allowing users to focus solely on their core business logic by breaking down tasks into ...
