• Algebraic K-theory of schemes and algebraic cycles ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-05)
Master thesis
Open Access
In this thesis, we introduce the K groups of a scheme. One of the motivations for the definition of the K groups is to prove a generalized version of the Riemann-Roch Theorem. We introduce the K groups of a scheme and ...
• Applications of the Sinkhorn-Knopp algorithm for phylogenetic inference ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-01)
Master thesis
Open Access
En aquest treball s'estudia l'algorisme de Sinkhorn-Knopp i les seves aplicacions pel disseny de mètodes de reconstrucció filogenètica. Es dissenyen tres mètodes filogenètics ("Crossing", "$\delta$-crossing\$ i Dist-crossing) ...
• Strategies for expanding the care for Chagas Disease In Bolivia: A multi criteria decision analysis ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2016-01)
Master thesis
Restricted access - confidentiality agreement
The aim of this project was to identify the most suitable strategies for expanding the medical care for Chagas Disease in Bolivia through the country's Primary Health Care system. Over the past decade, ISGlobal have set ...
• Effective computation of base points of two-dimensional ideals ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10)
Master thesis
Open Access
This works focus on computational aspects of the theory of singularities of plane algebraic curves. We show how to use the Puiseux factorization of a curve, computed through the Newton-Puiseux algorithm, to study the ...
• Symplectic structures with singularities ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10)
Master thesis
Open Access
The main goal of the thesis is to classify some particular Poisson structures, called b-Poisson, following results of Guillemin-Miranda-Pirés and Radko. To understand these results, this thesis contains some chapters of ...
• Looking for transcription factor binding sites ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10)
Master thesis
Restricted access - confidentiality agreement
Transcription factors are proteins involved in the regulation of DNA transcription. Indeed they are the proteins which enable or disable the RNA-polymerase production. In order to do so, transcription factors are bound at ...
• Numerical approximation of Poisson problems using high-order continuous Galerkin methods with static condensation ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10)
Master thesis
Open Access
Higher-order methods in finite elements can provide better approximations than linear methods, in some problems. This is because they can offer an exponential convergence rate of the solution. Thus, in some applications, ...
• Study of the singularities in the flat Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker Universe ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10)
Master thesis
Open Access
In this project we have performed an study of the singularities in Clasical Cosmology, considering a flat Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker for a linear equation of state and for a non-linear one. We have computed ...
• Non-Fourier heat conduction: The Maxwell-Cattaneo equations ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10)
Master thesis
Open Access
We study the derivation, properties and solution methods of the classical and the hyperbolic heat transfer equations. Some results to approximate the hyperbolic model with the classical model for small values of the thermal ...
• Rainbow matchings in hypergraphs ﻿

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10)
Master thesis
Open Access
A rainbow matching in an edge colored multihypergraph is a matching consisting of edges with pairwise distinct colors. In this master thesis we give an overview of the results about having a rainbow matching in edge-colored ...
