Rockfill dams are nowadays often preferred over concrete dams because of their economic advantages, their flexible design and thank to the great advance achieved in geosciences and geomechanics. Unfortunately their behavior ...
(English) In the last two decades, the use of web Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) has grown exponentially, providing both consumers (software developers) and providers (companies and institutions that expose their ...
Designing parallel codes is hard. One of the most important roadblocks to parallel programming is the presence of data dependencies. These restrict parallelism and, in general, to work them around requires complex analysis ...
The aim of this thesis is to design and implement a new Grid Resource Management methodology, where non-massive resources owners would be able to share their resources and integrate human collaboration across multiple ...
(English) Despite its tremendous potential, it is still unclear how quantum computing will scale to satisfy the requirements of its most powerful applications. Continued progress in the fabrication and control of qubits ...
The thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of expansive clays has been extensively studied in the last decades due to the potential use of bentonites as components of engineered barrier systems (EBS) in deep geological ...
An optimal performance of a Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) system means, the CBR system must be efficient both in time and in size, and must be optimally competent. The efficiency in time is closely related to an efficient and ...
Los encargados de recursos Grid pueden autorizar el acceso a sus elementos de cómputo por medio de procedimientos bien establecidos para los clientes, regularmente a través del uso de credenciales criptográficas que en su ...
This thesis presents a three-dimensional dynamic model of a double-deck circular tunnel embedded in a full-space. The model uses the receptance method to obtain the response of the complete structure from the response of ...
Los flujos con interfaces móviles (problemas de superficie libres y de dos fluidos) aparecen en numerosas aplicaciones de ingeniería. Los métodos presentados en esta tesis están orientados principalmente a la simulación ...
Automatic Summarization is probably crucial with the increase of document generation. Particularly when retrieving, managing and processing information have become decisive tasks. However, one should not expect perfect ...
The world of computing simulation has experienced great progresses in recent years and requires more exigent multidisciplinary challenges to satisfy the new upcoming demands. Increasing the importance of solving ...
Matrix computations lie at the heart of most scientific computational tasks. The solution of linear systems of equations is a very frequent operation in many fields in science, engineering, surveying, physics and ...
Sports analytics is an emerging field focused on the application of advanced data analysis for assessing the performance of professional athletes and teams. In soccer, the integration of data analysis is in its initial ...
The determination of a body position, velocity and attitude is the purpose of the navigation techniques. The most extended navigation systems (INS/GNSS), as any other HW and SW system, provide precise and accurate enough ...
Durant els darrers quaranta anys la geometria diferencial ha estat una eina fonamental per entendre la teoria de control òptim. Habitualment la millor estratègia per resoldre un problema és transformar-lo en un altre ...
El método de descomposición de dominios (DD) que se propone en esta tesis pretende resolver flujos incompresibles alrededor de objetos en movimiento relativo. El algoritmo de DD está basado en un acoplamiento del tipo ...
El alto grado de automatización adquirido en las plantas químicas durante las últimas décadas hace que las tareas de supervisión sean ahora más complejas y delicadas. Esta supervisión requiere de sistemas y herramientas ...
