Glassy phases play an important role in our daily life and in many industries such as the food, pharmaceutical, and construction and are responsible for certain vital mechanisms in living species. Whereas crystals are solid ...
The PhD project, entitled "Second harmonic generation in disordered nonlinear crystals: application to ultra-short laser pulse characterization", is devoted to the study of second harmonic generation in nonlinear ferroelectric ...
Persistent Scatterer interferometry (PSI) is a group of advanced differential interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) techniques used to measure and monitor terrain deformation. Sentinel-1 has improved the data ...
(English) In this thesis we study several mathematical objects that are essential to formulate and model physical systems. Applying the tools provided by differential geometry, we develop and analyze different mathematical ...
In this thesis, the results of different core-shell structures are presented after having been synthesized by the modified Stöber method, results of UV-Vis, SEM, TEM, XRD, among others, are shown, which determined the ...
The invention of the laser triggered the study of light-matter interactions. In turn, the advent of artificial structured materials on micro- and nanometer scales has become a fruitful playground to tailor the propagation ...
This thesis focuses on the thermodynamic and crystallographic characterization of C60 solvates formed with small organic molecules (CBr2(CH3)2, CBr2Cl2, CBr2H2, CBrCl2H and CBrClH2) Chapter I provides an introduction ...
The motion of space objects is strongly nonlinear and non-integrable since it is not only affected by the Keplerian central gravity of the Earth, but also subjected to some complex perturbations. Either an accurate and ...
(English) The availability of RADAR images for monitoring Earth’s surface and its changes over time prompt the development of several interferometric SAR (InSAR) algorithms and methodologies. The Multi-temporal InSAR ...
The brain is a complex multiscale dynamical system made of neurons, connected with each other by synapses. Neurons are multidimensional nonlinear systems able to exhibit dynamical activities at different temporal and spatial ...
The aim of this thesis is to deepen into the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the generation of complex and stochastic dynamics, as well as emerging phenomena, in the human brain. We study typical features ...
(English) New research shows that global demand for alloys with unique properties for various applications increased drastically, and among all them the demand for high entropy and metallic glasses in the industry is ...
Aerobiology is the science that focuses on the study of the airborne living organisms (bacteria, fungal spores, pollen, small insects, etc.). The influence of meteorology and climate change on plant phenology include shifts ...
Dynamical instabilities which lead to spontaneous pattern formation are present in a wide variety of nonlinear dynamical systems, both in nature as well as in technological areas. The instabilities may be saturating, leading ...
Optical excitable systems that mimic neuronal behavior have potential to be building-blocks of novel, ultra-fast, neuron-inspired photonic information processing systems. In particular, semiconductor lasers with optical ...
Free-route airs pace perm its us ers to freely plan a route between defined entry and exit waypoints with the pos s ibility of routing 1.fa intermediate points. Flights flyíng in a free-route area remain subject to air ...
(English) Optical control of ferroelectric properties has been attracted a growing interest as an alternative to the conventional control by applied electric fields. However, the major drawback for achieving an effective ...
The LISA Pathfinder project is an ESA/NASA technology demonstrator mission that must test the critical instrumentation required for a future space-borne gravitational wave observatory based on the LISA design. The satellite, ...
(English) Classical and Recurrent novae are thermonuclear explosions hosted by accreting white dwarfs in stellar binary systems. Material piles up on top of the white dwarf star under mildly degenerate conditions, driving ...
The growth in air traffic has led to a continuously growing environmental sensitivity in aviation, encouraging the research into methods for achieving a greener air transportation. In this context, continuous descent ...
