We propose to develop, build and validate a new Concept of Bridge composed of Inflatable Beams, Lightweight, Modular and Portable (PVH-LMP) for surface transport vehicles, which uses pressurized air-filled beams made of ...
Fernández Pinos, María del Carmen (Data de defensa: 2016-07-15)
This thesis aims to assess the effects of the complex mixture of organic pollutants on the Prochlorococcus photosynthetic capability, in field, and at sublethal level, in the multifactorial context of the global change. ...
Serrano Juan, Alejandro (Data de defensa: 2016-07-22)
The competition for space in urban areas due to an exponential growth of population makes derground engineering plays a crucial role in the development of cities. Urban underground infrastructures deal with variables such ...
Pallarès López, Elena (Data de defensa: 2016-07-25)
It is widely known that wind and wave predictions in the nearshore are less precise for semi enclosed domains than in the open ocean. The Catalan coast is a clear example of this situation, with a wave climate controlled ...
Morganti, Teresa Maria (Data de defensa: 2016-07-27)
Sponges play important roles in the functioning of marine ecosystem in which they are abundant. These roles range from stabilizers of substrate, to acting as major link between benthic and pelagic realms by filtering large ...
Puig Damians, Ivan (Data de defensa: 2016-07-28)
Soil reinforced retaining wall structures are materiallymore efficientthan competing construction solutions such as gravity and cantilever walls. Nevertheless, the behaviour and interactions between the com ponent materials ...
Aparicio Bernat, Francisco Luis (Data de defensa: 2016-09-22)
In the coming decades, global warming will affect the biogeochemical cycles evolution, particularly the carbon cycle. In this context, it is necessary to gain knowledge on the Earth natural mechanisms to relieve the ...
Pascual Torner, Maria (Data de defensa: 2016-09-28)
Salps are marine pelagic tunicates that have evolved opportunistic skills to bloom under favorable conditions and persist during adverse periods. They experience population outbursts (blooms) which, combined with their ...

Technological development and increased availability of remotely operated vehicles and manned submersibles have significantly increased accessibility to deep environments revealing the presence of rich and diverse macrobenthic ...
Climent Pera, Natalia (Data de defensa: 2016-10-17)
During the oil recovery a hole is drilled, the sandstone is left unsupported next to the cavity and disloged sand grains can enter the oil recovery system. This process is called sand production and several problems may ...
Arrayago Luquin, Itsaso (Data de defensa: 2016-10-17)
This thesis investigates the cross-section and member behaviour of cold-formed stainless steel RHS and SHS elements and proposes an alternative and more efficient design approach. Combined with aesthetic appeal, exceptional ...
Acevedo Dudley, Melissa Judith (Data de defensa: 2016-10-24)
Over the last years, the sightings of the cubomedusa Carybdea marsupialis have increased in the Mediterranean Sea and this has been linked to an increase in its abundance. Consequently, this phD thesis addresses some ...
Gallisai, Rachelle (Data de defensa: 2016-11-04)
The potential capacity of fertilization of surface oceans by atmospheric deposition is of scientific interest. This is especially true in the oligotrophic Mediterranean Sea. Its surface waters are extremely poor in nutrients ...
Montoya Coronado, Luis Alberto (Data de defensa: 2016-11-07)
