From RNA to histological images: linking the transcriptome with human phenotypes through statistical learning

Muñoz Aguirre, Manuel (Date of defense: 2021-04-07)

Genomic datasets are fundamental to broaden our understanding of human biology in the context of health and disease. However, the high-dimensional nature of gene expression and other molecular traits poses a challenge when ...

From the i* diversity to a common interoperability framework

Cares Gallardo, Carlos (Date of defense: 2012-09-20)

Since the i* framework emerged in the requirements engineering community in the mid-90s, different research groups have proposed variations to the modelling language proposed in the i* framework (¿the i* language¿). There ...

From the production of the single cell to the end of life of the battery module: the development of parameter variation of lithium-ion cells

Oeser, David (Date of defense: 2022-10-27)

(English) In lithium-ion batteries, depending on the requirements, many individual cells are connected in series and parallel. Despite very similar individual cell parameters after production, they can develop differently ...
