Malik, Muhammad Haris (Data de defensa: 2017-02-28)
This thesis presents the study of the model order reduction for power grids and transmission networks. The specific focus has been the transient dynamics. A mathematical viewpoint has been adopted for model reduction. Power ...
Pujol Sánchez, Mireia (Data de defensa: 2018-06-26)
The use of externally bonded fibre reinforced polymers, FRP, for strengthening reinforced concrete (RC) beams or columns is an alternative to other traditional strengthening techniques due to its high strength-to-weight ...
Cots Corominas, Carles (Data de defensa: 2022-05-06)
This thesis develops a new structural strengthening technique: converting existing reinforced concrete structures to composite sections by inserting connectors after controlled demolition with high-pressure water. The key ...
Casal Rodríguez, Paulo (Data de defensa: 2018-11-12)
Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) constitute an heterogeneous group of chemical substances of great environmental relevance. Its persistence, bioaccumulation, long-range transport potential and negative effects on health ...
Medina Henríquez, Paula Javiera (Data de defensa: 2019-07-08)
European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) aquaculture is a thriving industry in Spain where it reached about 23,500 t and a market value of approximately 133 million euros. However, most of the sea bass farms produce a high ...
Vallès Casanova, Ignasi (Data de defensa: 2021-10-19)
The upper ocean circulation is the area of confluence of two major vertical cells: the large-scale overturning Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the regional relatively shallow Subtropical Cells (STCs). ...
Obiol Plana, Aleix (Data de defensa: 2023-01-27)
(English) Marine heterotrophic flagellates (HF) are very small (2-5 µm) unpigmented protists that are dominant bacterial grazers in the ocean, where they link the transfer of carbon from bacterial cells to higher trophic ...
Anitori, Giorgio (Data de defensa: 2021-04-23)
Infrastructure maintenance programs establish schedules for routine inspections of highway bridges with little consideration of their current conditions. The time interval between two inspections is traditionally set based ...
Ruiz Carulla, Roger (Data de defensa: 2018-07-02)
The present thesis aims at the analysis of the fragmentation of rockfalls. The fragmentation is a complex phenomenon poorly understood with a lack of tools to reproduce it on rockfall simulators. The effect of fragmentation ...
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. ...
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 ...
Cruz García, Rubén (Data de defensa: 2020-07-01)
Arctic sea ice plays a central role in the Earth’s climate. Changes in the sea ice on seasonal-to-interannual timescales impact ecosystems, populations and a growing number of stakeholders. A prerequisite for achieving ...
Goyetche, Tybaud (Data de defensa: 2021-07-19)
Freshwater quality and availability in coastal areas are affected by seawater intrusion into coastal aquifers. While coastal water quality and coastal ecosystems can be significantly affected by pollutants discharged into ...
Jiménez Torres, Adrià (Data de defensa: 2021-12-22)
The design rules on Reduced Beam Sections (RBS) are covered in the Eurocodes in EN1998-3 as a possible solution to improve rotation capacity of beams for the retrofit of existing structures. The design rules are very similar ...
Bu, Xiangbo (Data de defensa: 2023-11-09)
(English) Recent decades have witnessed varying degrees of damage in underground structures, including instances of structural collapse, reported during post-earthquake hazard investigations. Therefore, the research on ...
Garcia Ramonda, Larisa (Data de defensa: 2020-12-18)
As one of the main historical construction materials, masonry is abundant among the architectural heritage of earthquake-prone areas of the Mediterranean countries. Earthquake mitigation approaches are now focusing on ...
Jiménez Ramirez, Belén (Data de defensa: 2021-01-13)
The seismic vulnerability of urban assets exposed to earthquake hazard represents a growing concern in the engineering field due to the potential risk of collapse for the buildings, and the associated devastating consequences ...
Li, Jun (Data de defensa: 2021-05-31)
This thesis aimed to explore the potential of Se/Zn-enriched bioproducts produced from wastewater treatment processes by eco-technologies (phytoextraction, bioreduction and microalgae-based systems) as Se/Zn feed supplements ...
Oliete Josa, Sergio (Data de defensa: 2023-07-05)
(English) The objective of this research is to delve into the decision-making processes that shape the provision of transport infrastructure. To this end, it analyses the historical evolution of transport networks in ...
Soltanalipour, Milad (Data de defensa: 2023-05-10)
