A strontium quantum-gas microscope
(English) The development of quantum-gas microscopes has revolutionized the field of quantum simulation with ultracold atoms. More specifically, their ability of direct observation and manipulation of degenerate quantum ...
Microfluidics for biosensing with additive manufacturing: simulation model and fabrication
(English) Over the last decade, biosensing has been moving towards the miniaturized and cost-effective point-of-care (POC) testing. Even though microfluidics is becoming a key enabling technology for POC testing, the need ...
Quantum many-body approaches to non-conventional topological phases of matter
(English) In recent years, the evolution of quantum technologies has resulted in an unprecedented control over individual quantum particles and many-body systems. This remarkable progress has given rise to a new era, marked ...
PyMCGPU-IR: a new tool for patient dose monitoring in interventional radiology procedures
(English) Interventional radiology procedures are associated with potentially high radiation doses to the skin. The 2013/59/EURATOM Directive establishes that the equipment used for interventional radiology must have a ...
Contributions to meshless methodologies for the simulation of acoustic radiation and scattering problems
(English) Meshless methodologies have emerged as a valuable tool in the field of computational acoustics, offering an efficient approach to model complex acoustic phenomena. These innovative numerical techniques offer a ...
Study on the forming limit on shear spinning process
(English) Shear spinning is an incremental sheet metal forming process where a flat metal blank or pre-form is usually converted into an axisymmetric hollow part. Several ductile metals and alloys can be shear formed either ...
Towards a sustainable use of plant protection products in orchards: implementation of canopy-adapted spray technology and new developments for spray efficiency evaluation
(English) The application of Plant protection products (PPP) is one of the most widely used solutions to effectively control pests and diseases during orchard management, guaranteeing the yield and production of fruits. ...
FPGA and ASIC accelerators for genome data analysis
(English) The continuous progress of Moore’s Law in improving single-threaded performance (execution time) through clock frequency and process node improvements has slowed down due to physical limitations in silicon ...
Viscoelastic behavior of high-entropy metallic glasses
(Català) Els vidres metàl·lics, especialment els d'alta entropia, es caracteritzen per la seva microestructura i propietats mecàniques úniques i, a més, permeten investigar la dinàmica de relaxació en materials desordenats ...
Poetas de la arquitectura en Uruguay. Construcciones para la nueva nación, 1894-1914
(English) The present work addresses the brief and complex moment of the turn from the 19th to the 20th century from the perspective of the history of architecture. The objective is to explore the architecture of the end ...
Contributions to dynamic pile-soil interaction modelling
(English) The development of more accurate, computationally efficient and practical methodologies for a better understanding of dynamic soil-structure interaction and prediction of ground-borne vibration levels in the ...
Stability analysis of modern power systems
(English) The massive installation of converter-based resources, such as wind and solar photovoltaic power plants and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems, is resulting in a profound transformation of power systems ...
Floer homology for 𝑏-symplectic manifolds
(English) In this thesis we investigate various aspects of the dynamics of Hamiltonian vector fields in singular symplectic manifolds. We concentrate on two questions: first, we investigate a generalization of the Arnold ...
Bridging the gap between object stores and HPC
(English) Efficient data management is a fundamental aspect of application workflows, particularly in the context of High-Performance Computing environments. This thesis examines the potential of object stores as a robust ...
Aporte a la construcción de comunidades sostenibles. Un modelo para analizar su sostenibilidad
(English) This thesis developed an understanding of what makes a community sustainable, its particular characteristics, the values it shares, its way of life and its interaction with natural systems. It categorized the ...
Leveraging the potential of task-based programming with OpenMP task graphs
(English) The task execution model is widely used in computer engineering, it helps developers to design, develop and understand software systems. OpenMP is the de-facto programming model to parallelize sequential algorithms ...
New synthesis methodologies to develop emerging chalcogenides and chalcohalides for photovoltaic applications
(English) Chalcogenide materials have been central to some of the most significant events in the history of photovoltaic energy, including the fabrication of the first solar cell in 1883 by Charles Fritts, which was based ...
Automatismes, usuaris i arquitectura: aplicació a la gestió energètica dels edificis
(English) Digitalization and automation are being applied across various sectors of society, including buildings through Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS). These systems enable, for instance, the management ...
Optimization techniques in science planning for planetary exploration missions
(English) Solar System robotic missions explore objects in space to elicit key information that contributes to our understanding of the origins and evolution of the Solar System as well as of life. Noticeably, such an ...
THM numerical modeling of multiphase flow in fractured rock masses using zero-thickness interface elements
(English) To address the impacts of climate change, several measures have been suggested among which utilizing renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy and implementing technologies such as hydrogen storage or ...
