The Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is a local-area, airport-based augmentation of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) that provides precision approach guidance for aircraft. It enhances GNSS performance ...
Sensory neurons use sequences of electrical pulses (known as action potentials or spikes) to encode and transmit information of external temporal stimuli. Neural coding is the research field that studies the relationship ...
By 2050 the energy consumption is expected to increase considerably.The production might be mostly based on renewable energy mix driven by the nuclear fusion which could potentially deliver continuous, large-scale power ...
(English) The use of semiconductors, metals, or ordinary dielectrics in the process of fabrication of nanodevices is at the front edge of nowadays technology. In the last decade an impressive technological progress has ...
Ferroelectric materials are endowed with fascinating functional properties from the technological point of view. Consequently, they have promoted the design of ferroelectric-based devices with applications in a vast range ...
Core-collapse supernovae (CC-SNe) explosions represent the final demise of massive stars. Among the various types, there is a group of relatively infrequent CC-SNe termed type IIb, which appear to be hybrids between normal ...
The nearshore zone is plenty of 3D morphodynamic patterns resulting from the interaction of waves, currents and sediments. The dynamics of formation and evolution of these patterns is at present a controversial point in ...
(English) Hybrid or multi-sensor-based positioning has been a research topic actively investigated in the last decade. In this context, the possibility of using information extracted from imaging sensors, for positioning, ...
The growth in traffic increased the pressure on the environmental sustainability of air transport. In this context, many research effort has been devoted to minimise the environmental impact in the different phases of ...
Algorithms (EA) are useful optimization methods for exploration of the search space, but they usually have slowness problems to exploit and converge to the minimum with accuracy. On the other hand, gradient based methods ...
(English) With the advance of UAV-related technology using several drones in the context of a single mission becomes more and more common. New problems and challenges appear as a result. When analyzing research works ...
In order to avoid the catastrophes caused by intense or even moderately intense, rainfall episodes, it is essential to have as exhaustive a knowledge as possible of the behaviour of the same. We have a source of information ...
As the evolutionary end-point of most main-sequence stars, white dwarfs can be used to infer important properties concerning the formation and evolution of the different Galactic stellar populations. Population synthesis ...
One of the most complex and unsolved problems in physics is the glass transition problem, in which the resulting state, the glass, exhibits unique and anomalous properties. During the transition, a kinetic freezing phenomenon ...
Metalloprotein are proteins containing metal ion cofactors. Compared to chemical catalysts, metalloproteins have a well-defined configuration around the active site which ensures higher specificity, selectivity and reaction ...
In this Thesis, we report a detailed study of the ground-state properties of a set of quantum few- and many-body systems by using Quantum Monte Carlo methods. First, we introduced the Variational Monte Carlo and Diffusion ...
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 ...
