This thesis explores a very well understood area of physics: computational structural dynamics. The aim is to stretch its boundaries by merging it with another very well established discipline such as structural design and ...
This thesis is about the stabilization of the numerical solution of the Euler and Navier- Stokes equations of compressible flow. When simulating numerically the flow equations, if no stabilization is added, the solution ...
In this thesis the finite and spectral element methods (FEM and SEM, respectively) applied to problems in atmospheric simulations are explored through the common thread of Variational Multiscale Stabilization (VMS). This ...
Vegetable Fiber Reinforced Cement Composite Materials (VFRCC) have emerged as a potential construction material, providing adequate load-bearing capacity and ductility for non-structural applications. VFRCC have good ...
The box-girder is currently the solution for large prestressed concrete bridges, being most used today in steel and mixed structures. Their widespread use is due to the strength characteristics and versatility, using various ...
Tunable laser sources in different spectral regions are of interest for a variety of applications including spectroscopy, trace gas sensing, medical diagnostics, LIDAR and material processing. Existing lasers have limited ...
Quantum information is a fascinating field that studies situations in which information is encoded as quantum states. This encoding is affected by quantum physical effects (such as superposition or entanglement) and its ...
This thesis presents the study and analysis of the Vessel Traffic Services (VTS), from its origins to the present, with further evaluation of future trends. Examining the current trend in terms of technologies that are ...
La dependència actual dels combustibles fòssils en la majoria de sectors industrials i domèstics no és sostenible ni a curt ni a llarg termini. Això està obligant a plantejar alternatives a la majoria de sectors industrials ...
Many historical objects have coatings or varnish layers on the surface. In order to determine their conservation and historical contextualization is necessary to know its origin, why they were applied, the application ...
(English) Light is a powerful non invasive tool for probing matter down to its fundamental molecular properties. The past three decades saw advent of metallic nanoantennas engineered to concentrate light into sub diffraction ...
This dissertation deals with four topics. The first three are in the same environment, the transmission paths. The fourth refers to the synthesis of subsystems and more specifically to two subsystems linked by any number ...
Constantinos A. Doxiadis (1913-1975) was an important figure in the realm of postwar urbanism, and yet his contribution has been largely neglected. This study reviews his trajectory and analyzes key projects related to ...
The object of this doctoral thesis is to explore the effects of the passage of time on the façades of buildings, focusing on the architect's sphere of influence and point of view. The initial hypothesis is that project ...
(English) Online advertising makes possible most of the freely available online content and services. However, it is far from being mature and there are still controversial topics that need to be addressed. One of these ...
El objeto del presente trabajo es un estudio profundizado sobre la obra realizada por el arquitecto Vilanova Artigas en la ciudad de Londrina. Es conocida la importancia que este ha tenido en la formación y consolidación ...
The link between financial and real estate sectors, sometimes excessive and others inadequate, is generated through its assets and in all the operations in which they intervene. Its study comprises finance of mortgage-backed ...
La mano humana es una herramienta muy completa, capaz de adaptarse a diferentes superficies y formas, y también tocar y coger. Es una conexión directa entre el mundo exterior y el cerebro. I.Kant (filosofo alemán) definió ...
This work focuses on scheduling of MPI jobs when executing in shared-memory multiprocessors (SMPs). <br/>The objective was to obtain the best performance in response time in multiprogrammed multiprocessors systems using ...
Current transport network owners are focused on offering services on top of the infrastructures they own, while end users have no control over them. Traditionally, this has been their business model, as the cost of building ...
