In this study it was assessed the seismic behavior of framed buildings with composite structure of steel and reinforced concrete (RC) in a specific configuration formed with lower levels with RC (primary structure) and ...
In this research, the seismic response, the vulnerability and the expected damage in rein-forced concrete residential buildings, with irregular plants, are analyzed. This irregularity is mainly due to inbound and outbound ...
Las nuevas tendencias en la Ingeniería Sísmica, reconocen la necesidad de evaluar la vulnerabilidad de los edificios en entornos urbanos. De hecho, es allí donde se concentra la mayor parte de la población mundial, las ...
During the recent years, the research related to Wake-up Radio (WuR) systems has gained noticeable interest. In WuR systems, a node initiating a communication first sends a Wake-up Call (WuC) by means of its Wake-up ...
In this thesis, we present a set of studies whose results have allowed us to analyze how to improve the realism, navigation, and behaviour of the avatars in an immersive virtual reality environment. In our simulations, ...
¿Es posible abordar cuestiones pictóricas en Kandinsky en función del tiempo más bien que del espacio?, ¿cómo puede el tiempo ser la medida de un trabajo de Kandinsky cuando lo pictórico se manifiesta básicamente por una ...
This dissertation aims at extending our knowledge of the ESP OMZ through two main approaches. The first approach is based on tracer analysis and inverse modeling techniques. Such techniques are applied to hydrographic ...
Groundwater withdrawals are growing in most developing countries, including Mongolia, where freshwater resources are limited and unevenly distributed, and most surface waters are frozen during winter. Groundwater represents ...
This dissertation will focus on the analysis of water and sanitation service delivery solutions in the context of peri-urban and rural areas. In particular, it will investigate if public-public partnerships (PuPs) can ...
The water, energy and food nexus is a theoretical approach to better understand and systematically examine the interactions between the natural environment and human activities, and to work towards a more organized management ...
The present work is a compilation of the research produced in the field of wave propagation modeling. It contains in-depth analysis of stability, convergence, dispersion and dissipation of spatial, temporal and spatial-temporal ...
This Thesis proposes the design and the optimization of a hybrid WDM/TDM PON at the L1 (PHY) and L2 (MAC) layers, in terms of minimum deployment cost and enhanced performance for Greenfield NGPON. The particular case of ...
Weak Value Amplification (WVA) is a signal enhancement technique proposed in 1988 by Aharonov, Albert, and Vaidman that has been widely used to measure tiny changes that otherwise cannot be determined because of technical ...
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 ...
