On the way towards a low carbon electricity system, flexibility has become one of the main sources for achieving it. Flexibility can be understood as the ability of a power system to cope with the variability and uncertainty ...
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) separates the control plane from the data plane. The initial SDN approach involves a single centralized controller, which may not scale properly as a network grows in size. Distributed ...
In this thesis the Flexible Periodic Vehicle Routing Problem is introduced and studied. In this problem a carrier must establish a distribution plan to serve a given set of customers over a planning horizon using a fleet ...
(English) The flexoelectric effect, the two-way linear coupling between strain gradient and electric polarization (direct flexoelectricity) or electric field gradient and strain (converse flexoelectricity) universally ...
Fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is recognized as suitable material for structural applications. The number of national codes that have approved it is an evidence. Structures where FRC is generally used can be subjected to ...
Plastics are currently one of the most widely distributed litter in marine ecosystems worldwide. The floating fraction of these debris are estimated to represent about 1% of the plastics that enter into the marine environment ...
Synthetic jets are produced by the oscillatory movement of a membrane inside a cavity, causing fluid to enter and leave through a small orifice. This results in a net jet that is able to transfer kinetic energy and momentum ...
Without fluid turbulence, life might have rather different look. The atmosphere and oceans could nearly maintain a much larger temperature differences resulting in ultimate heating or cooling to the earth surface. The water ...
Concerns about a global decline in pollinators have called for more knowledge about the drivers of wild pollinator abundance and diversity in agroecosystems. Agricultural intensification has been identified as the main ...
The main objective of this PhD thesis is the fluid dynamic characterization of the flow behind vortex generators (VG) as well as to investigate their influence in the separation of the boundary layer. CFD simulations have ...
The standard Fluid Structure Interaction coupling (velocity--pressure/displacement) is compared against two novel types of coupling, a Two Field coupling (velocity--pressure/displacement--pressure) and a Three Field coupling ...
The heart is a complex system. From the transmembrane cell activity to the spatial organization in helicoidal fibers, it includes several spatial and temporal scales. The heart muscle is surrounded by two main tissues that ...
El flujo desbordado en secciones de ríos con llanuras de inundación (secciones compuestas) presenta fuertes fenómenos tridimensionales que lo diferencian del flujo confinado en el cauce principal (asimilable a secciones ...
(English) To mitigate the energy and climate crisis we are already facing and address the increasing energy consumption, it is essential to foster energy transition strategies. The energy transition success largely depends ...
El surgimiento de una nueva forma de hacer agricultura respetando al medio ambiente y vinculada con la producción de alimentos sanos y orientados al mercado de exportación, ha venido ganando importancia en la agricultura ...
The underlying topic of this thesis is the study of the application of the Force Matching (FM) algorithm to parameterize ion-water Force Fields using ab-initio simulations as reference. In order to do so three different ...
The thesis "The form of living in modern Belgian architecture" is a travel through the most industrialized cities of Belgium. lts main objective is to investigate the history of the social habitat in this country, with the ...
Las obras del arquitecto Gordon Bunshaft, desarrolladas mientras trabajó en la empresa multinacional S.O.M. - Skidmore, Owings & Merrill - agrupan una serie de atributos constructivos y formales que reflejan la modernidad ...
(English) In the Montserrat Mountain, high hazard of rockfall and high human exposure by visitors to both Monastery and Natural Park converge. It is a relevant geological risk difficult to mitigate since it is necessary ...
El trabajo se centra en los juegos cooperativos con utilidad transferible, que son excelentes modelos matemáticos para analizar situaciones de conflicto y cooperación entre diversos agentes. Consta de dos partes.<br/><br/>En ...
