Press hardening, also known as hot stamping, is a hot sheet metal forming technique which allows producing lightweight components with complex geometry and outstanding mechanical properties. For this reason, use of press ...
El WEB 2.0 ha implicat compartir coneixement a un nivell sense precedents. S'han realitzat diversos models teòrics, i el fet de recollir i guardar el coneixement ha esdevingut quelcom estratègic. Una de les estructures que ...
This thesis examines the response of stainless steel members when subjected to transverse and normal forces triggering the instability phenomena called web crippling and local buckling, respectively. Currently, the part ...
The development of society has led to a global concern regarding the improvement of resources performance, especially water. The design of nature-based solutions (NBS) for the treatment and reuse of wastewaters, in accordance ...
In a highly competitive and turbulent environment, executives need more efficient ways to analyze their companies, markets and competitors. The aim is to help their organizations become more competitive and, as a result, ...
In recent years, it has been proposed that circular microresonators may become an important element in the core of many photonic devices. The high Q-factors seen in fused silica micro-spheres and micro-toroids for light ...
Merging white dwarfs is a promising channel to trigger Type Ia supernovae, known as the double degenerate scenario. Supernovae are stellar explosions that radiate as much energy as any ordinary star is expected to emit ...
We are surrounded by electronic devices that take advantage of wireless technologies, from our computer mice, which require little amounts of information, to our cellphones, which demand increasingly higher data rates. ...
(English) During the lifetime of long-span bridges, the traffic conditions are affected by the surroundings and will typically vary and also unpredictably change. In this thesis, a prior site-specific traffic load spatial ...
During the last two decades the scientific community has recognised the importance of the tropical Atlantic Ocean and the upwelling regions on the Earth's climate. This recognition has opened new questions such as: ¿What ...
Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) have emerged and shifted the focus from the typical scalar wireless sensor networks to networks with multimedia devices that are capable to retrieve video, audio, images, as well ...
Resonant Inductive Coupling Wireless Power Transfer (RIC-WPT) has been proven to provide very high power transfer efficiencies (above 80%) for moderate distances, and is hence foreseen as a key technology to enable wireless ...
The design of wireless sensors for operation embedded in a medium with high losses creates a series of additional constraints that should be taken into consideration at design stage to enhance sensor performance. In such ...
The formulation of quantum physics stands among the most revolutionary theories of the twentieth century. During the first decades of this century, many phenomena concerning the microscopic world were unexplained or had ...
VVladimiro Acosta (WA) was a Russian architect with centro-european modem studies. His moving to Latin America in 1928 he meant one of the most significant contributions to Argentinian architecture. Since his arrival until ...
The research of this dissertation is studying the ionosphere by GPS radio occultation (RO) techniques. It is mainly divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the methodology in electron density profile retrievals ...
This PhD thesis shows the results of 10 years of energy audits for buildings as a proposal for a methodological improvement in the energy audit process itself. The main findings are referred to the three key points of any ...
Tanto las problemáticas de la actual urbanística metropolitana, así como su confrontación con las nuevas temáticas que caracterizan la ciudad contemporánea se han convertido en el principal campo de reflexión de la presente ...
The relationship between the railway network and the city system has been the subject of numerous studies in recent decades. The railway has assumed great importance as a key element of transport infrastructure for the ...
