The present dissertation is an in-depth investigation from the macro to atomic scale of industrial wear-resistant CVD hard coatings deposited on cemented carbides for cutting tool applications. Micro-compression tests at ...
The improvements in terms of computational power provides the capability to analyze with more detail the materials behavior. On one hand, going deeper in the materials to study an increasingly smaller dimension and capture ...
Most of the existing materials around us can be considered composite materials, since they are composed by several phases or components at certain spatial scale. The physical and chemical properties of composites, as occurs ...
La humedad del suelo es la variable que regula los intercambios de agua, energía, y carbono entre la tierra y la atmósfera. Mediciones precisas de humedad son necesarias para una gestión sostenible de los recursos hídricos, ...
(English) Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) holds immense promise for mitigating atmospheric CO2 emissions, making the sealing capacity of caprocks pivotal as storage scales up. Despite excellent sealing capacities observed ...
The presence of renewables in energy systems optimization have generated a high level of uncertainty in the data, which has led to a need for applying stochastic optimization to modelling problems with this characteristic. ...
The theories of gravity are one of the most important topics in theoretical physics and mathematical physics nowadays. The classical formulation of gravity uses the Hilbert-Einstein Lagrangian, which is a singular ...
Offshore wind is emerging as one of the future energy vectors. Offshore wind power plants locations provide more strong and constant wind speed that allows to extract more power compared to onshore locations. In addition, ...
The application of spectroscopic techniques is crucial for art historians and conservators who require knowledge of materials used in works of art (pigments, dyes, binders, additives, ...) in particular instances. In this ...
Wave-storms are the responsible of the main changes in the Coast. Their detailed characterization results in a better design of any marine structure. The most common approach to describe wave-storms is to simplify the event ...
Malignant tumours of the brain represent one of the most difficult to treat types of cancer due to the sensitive organ they affect. Clinical management of the pathology becomes even more intricate as the tumour mass increases ...
Multiview data is defined as data for whose samples there exist several different data views, i.e. different data matrices obtained through different experiments, methods or situations. Multiview dimensionality reduction ...
Extraction of neuromuscular information is an important and extensively researched issue in biomedical engineering. lnformation on muscle control can be used in numerous human-machine interfaces and control applications, ...
En el presente trabajo se hace una recopilación histórica de la mineralogía catalana desde el siglo XVI hasta principios del siglo XIX, a través de las diferentes instituciones que han fomentado la investigación y la ...
En contrast amb els llenguatges clàssics de simulació, la tendència actual evoluciona cap a entorns de modelatge i simulació completament integrats. Aquests entorns combinen tècniques interdisciplinàries tals com IA, ...
Durante las últimas décadas, la energía solar fotovoltaica se ha convertido en una tecnología de creciente importancia para satisfacer las necesidades energéticas actuales sin sacrificar las futuras generaciones. Las células ...
(English) Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a wastewater originated from complex oxidation processes that has become one of the most challenges facing the global mining industry due to its acidity, high content of SO42- and other ...
Tissue engineering aims to replace restore or help regeneration of injured tissue or organ with scaffolds that mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM). The design of such scaffolds requires deeper understanding of the ...
Hydrogen is one of the most promising solutions for the energy future, since its combustion only produces water vapour, so it does not pollute. In addition, it can be obtained from abundant and renewable substances. Fuel ...
