[eng] Conventional 2D in vitro and animal models have been found inadequate to fully uncover the intricate mechanisms happening in the brain and its diseases. Engineering-based models emerge as promising alternatives to ...
Traditionally, molecular analysis is performed in laboratories equipped with desktop instruments operated by specialized technicians. This paradigm has been changing in recent decades, as biosensor technology has become ...
[eng] The thesis Advanced Characterization of Interfaces of the Chalcogenide-Based Absorbers for the Thin Film Photovoltaic Technologies is based on six articles that are published in high impact factor peer-reviewed ...
The work presented in this dissertation is focused on the fabrication, integration and test of chemoresistive gas sensor devices and systems based on semiconducting nanowires (NWs). The first objective of this dissertation ...
Nowadays, we live in an intrinsically uncertain world from our perspective. We do not know what will happen in the future but, to infer it, we build the so-called models. These models are abstractions of the world we live ...
Quantum computing is an emergent technology with prospects to solve problems nowadays intractable. For this purpose it is a requirement to build computers capable to store and control quantum systems without losing ...
[eng] Although the first LED dates to the middle of the 20th century, it has not been until the last decade that the market has been flooded with high efficiency and high durability LED solutions compared to previous ...
Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) is the most widely used solution in those countries where landfilling areas are limited. Incineration allows reducing the total volume of waste (up to 90%) and generating energy ...
The development of sustainable energy sources with a high energy return on energy investment (EROI) that can substitute fossil fuels is a must in order to avoid the collapse of our current civilization. In this context, ...
[eng] Meat industry and particularly pig slaughterhouses produce huge amounts of animal by- products not intended for human consumption. This residual stream appears as a potential raw material for anaerobic digestion and ...
The main purpose of this thesis is to study how we could obtain a transparent heating system for a Radome. In the context of this thesis, transparent have two different meanings that are tied due to the objective of our ...
The LHC injectors upgrade (LIU) project aims to boost the LHC luminosity by doubling the beam brightness with the construction of the new LINAC4, the first linear accelerator on the LHC chain. The brighter beams require ...
Bone tissue has an excellent healing response, recovering functional and structural properties when damaged. Notwithstanding, severe damage to the bone implies the need for surgery to recover. Different orthopaedic devices ...
Mining industry faces environmental problems concerning waste management. Given the environmental issues associated with storage of mine wastes on land, one disposal option that has gained attraction is submarine tailings ...
Los sulfuros metálicos tienen un papel fundamental en los materiales de fricción, en los que actúan como aditivos que estabilizan el coeficiente de fricción y reducen el desgaste a alta temperatura. Estas propiedades de ...
Despite the last 60 years have seen major advances in many scientific and technological inputs of drug Research and Development, the number of new molecules hitting the market per billion US dollars of R&D spending has ...
Cobalt-based nanomaterials are an important class of electrocatalysts that own abundant and diverse d-orbital electronic structures, and can exhibit excellent HER, OER, EOR catalytic activity and stability in energy ...
[cat] La estereolitografia (SLA) és la primera de les tecnologies de fabricació additiva desenvolupada. Aquesta consisteix en la fotopolimerització d’una resina líquida per capes mitjançant la irradiació selectiva de l’àrea ...
La problemàtica mediambiental associada a la contaminació per ions metàl·lics és mundialment coneguda. En les últimes dècades hi ha hagut un enduriment de la legislació associada a aquests contaminants que ha permès disminuir ...
A la natura existeixen diferents animals o plantes com ara els sabaters (Gerris remigis), la flor de lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) o les fulles d’arròs (Oriza sativa) que presenten propietats extraordinàries com ara l’auto-neteja ...
