This thesis aims at studying the physical-chemical properties of model lipid bilayers in physiological environments. Since in such conditions biological membranes composed of phospholipids and cholesterol are surrounded ...
Biopolymers are polymers produced by living organisms. A more broad classification would embrace also those polymers synthesized from renewable sources which are able to display biodegradability. The demand of biopolymers ...
In recent years, the increasing public concern about the environmental pollution caused by persistent plastic wastes has stimulated the interest in replacing synthetic polymers by biopolymers. The term biopolymer refers ...
A polymer containing small amounts of ionic groups either along the polymer backbone chains or as pendant groups is defined as ionomer. As originally proposed by Eisenberg, the interaction between ionic groups leads to the ...
(English) Interest in new environmentally friendly cellulose-based products has tremendously increased in recent years. Cellulose-based composites come in various forms and have potential applications in construction, ...
Silicon (Si) power device’ technologies have reached a high maturity level, but current limitations on mechanic, temperature operation and electric performances require to investigate other semiconductor materials that ...
Computational simulation is one of the basic techniques of modern Astrophysics. The long-term time astrophysical processes cannot be treated with explicit approaches because that they are limited, in their maximum time ...
The colossal risks and challenges posed by climate change require innovative solutions that must fulfil energy service demands sustainably. The concept of small-scale, biomass-based polygeneration (SBP) is one such ...
This work corresponds to an exploratory study into the reasons why different stakeholders of clase interest to gardeners have an explanation on the musculoskeletal disorders affecting them . lts objectives seek to respond, ...
(English) In a typical HPC cluster system, a node is the elemental component unit of this architecture. Memory and compute resources are tightly coupled in each node and the rigid boundaries between nodes limits compute ...
Older generations of wireless networks, such as 1G and 2G were deployed using leased line, copper or fibre line as backhaul. Later, in 3G and 4G, microwave wireless links have also worked as backhaul links while the ...
Syntactic Dependency Parsing and Semantic Role Labeling (SRL) are two main problems in Natural Language Understanding. Both tasks are closely related and can be regarded as parsing on top of a given sequence. In the ...
Justificació. A la pàgina del seu llibre l’Arquitectura modernista, Oriol Bohigas reclama, de manera suggerent, la necessitat d'una major atenció a l'obra classicista de Josep Puig i Cadafalch, és a dir, la realitzada ...
The interest in the impact of architecture on its inhabitants and their perception of space lead to question how the spatial experience is considered during the project phase to understand the influence of project decisions ...
This thesis analyzes the tense and intense relationship that occurs between three houses,designed by Jørn Utzon for him and his family,and the horizon. The arising prospect not limited to the physical realm, but actually ...
Karl von Appen was an internationally known german stage designer. His international renown is due to his work in the company Berliner Ensemble, which was founded and directed by Bertolt Brecht until 1956. Appen arrived ...
El primer objetivo de esta tesis es la identificación y análisis de aspectos clave para la gobernanza de los servicios de agua rural en países que adolecen de bajos niveles de cobertura, altos índices de pobreza, se ...
(English) The first entry of the Diccionario de la lengua española (RAE) defines cooperate as "to work together with one or more agents to achieve a common goal". Perhaps this idea of aligned agents with a shared objective ...
This work proposes a methodology for kinodynamic planning and trajectory control in robots with closed kinematic chains. The ability to plan trajectories is key in a robotic system, as it provides a means to convert ...
People recommender systems (PRS) are a special type of RS. They are often adopted to identify people capable of performing a task. Recommending people poses several challenges not exhibited in traditional RS. Elements such ...
