Java is a very commonly used computer programming language, although its use amongst the scientific and High Performance Computing (HPC) communities remains relatively low. In this thesis, the option of using Java for ...
The Vegetative State (VS) is a clinical condition characterized by wakefulness in the absence of awareness of self or environment. A person in a VS retains autonomic functions but exhibits no evidence of voluntary responses ...
The first part of this thesis articulates and defends the Subjectivist View of the Mental. According to this view, my mental states are essentially different from the mental states of everyone else, but the fact that they ...
In this thesis, I have presented and defended a series of claims regarding the nature and epistemic role of linguistic understanding. Firstly, I have argued that, besides the state- and disposition-sense of ...
Spatial embedding and inherited metric constraints are a fundamental trait of biological neuronal circuits. However their role in shaping connectivity and dynamics has been often disregarded, with models of neuronal networks ...
This thesis focuses on the computational study of models for platinum catalysts supported on cerium oxide (CeO2) which are of technological relevance. In these catalysts, ceria is often found acting as a non-inert support, ...
The study of superfluid helium has been carried out mainly by physicists. In recent years, taking advantage of the potentialities presented by superfluid helium nanodroplets (HeNDs) as inert matrices at very low temperatures ...
In this thesis, different organic and organometallic molecules with interest for optoelectronic applications have been studied from a computational standpoint. The work presented in this thesis belongs to the molecular ...
The diversity of functional roles played by heme proteins in all kingdoms of life is to a large extent regulated by the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of their interaction with small gaseous molecules. The aim of ...
The Doctoral dissertation titled “Theoretical Study of Phospholipid Membranes: the Complex Role of Cholesterol and Lipid Unsaturation” covers biological membrane modeling by means of molecular dynamics. The main focus ...
This thesis studies Dark Energy, a central topic of Modern Cosmology, from different points of view. It covers from models and parametrizations to likelihood approximations for the observations of the Large Scale Structure ...
En esta memoria de tesis se expone el trabajo llevado a cabo por el doctorando durante los últimos cuatro años, el cual versa principalmente sobre diversos aspectos de soluciones cosmológicas obtenidas a partir de teorías ...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of death worldwide, especially in the late stages of the disease when relapse and metastasis occur. Despite the improvements achieved recently in terms of treatment and diagnosis, ...
Temperature is likely to be one of the most important abiotic factors given how it affects the physiology of the whole organism and as a consequence, it has an essential role in ecology and evolution. However, how the ...
The closure of the Ligurian-Tethys Ocean, opened during Jurassic and consisting of highly segmented margins in between Africa and Iberia, has produced the Alboran and Algerian basins in the Western Mediterranean through ...
LISA Pathfinder (LPF) is an ESA mission, with NASA contributions, devoted to pave the way to the future spaceborne gravitational wave observatory LISA.<br/>The LISA Technology Package (LTP) experiment in the LPF mission ...
En este trabajo, se propone di-n-peintil éter (DNP) como un buen producto para la reformulación delos combustibles diesel por sus buenas propiedades, en especial un elevado número de cetano y buen comportamiento en frío. ...
The main contribution of this thesis concerns the application of the Luttinger-Ward formalism to the study of the thermodynamical properties of nuclear matter. This formalism is devoted to compute the different thermodynamical ...
[eng] This doctoral work investigates nucleic acids' thermodynamic and kinetic properties. The main objective is the characterization of the energetics and the folding mechanisms driving the hybridization of DNA and RNA ...
Arguably, one of the stimuli that move human the most is music. What physically consists in an array of sounds organized in time and frequency, is capable of evoking a rich palette of emotions, thoughts and behaviors in ...
