  • On publicly verifiable secret sharing schemes 

    Lavollée, Jérémy (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2023-01)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Secret sharing allows a dealer to distribute shares of a secret to a set of parties such that only so-called authorised subsets of these parties can recover the secret, whilst forbidden sets gain at most some restricted amount ...
  • Hunting for keystones: Methodologies for the identification of relevant species from microbiome datasets and co-occurrence networks

  • Mesh adaptation for turbine alignment in wind farm simulation 

    Revilla Mut, Gonzalo (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Covenantee:   Barcelona Supercomputing Center
    An alternative approach for the mesh generation process in wind farm modeling is explained, based on metric-driven mesh adaptation to the actuator disc models of the turbines. Unlike the standard approach based treating ...
  • Implementation of a test for branch saturation in a phylogenetic tree 

    Viñas Ferrando, Carmen Cinta (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Covenantee:   Center for Integrative Bioinformatics Vienna
    In a phylogenetic tree, branch saturation is the occurrence of too many mutations along a branch as to provide information about the branch location and length. Since branch saturation leads to unreliable reconstructed ...
  • Topological data analysis 

    Lecha Sánchez, Manuel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    We explore Persistence Theory in its full generality. As a particular instance, we first discuss one parameter persistence theory, which arises from uniparametric filtrations of spaces. Although enjoying many excellent ...
  • Computational modeling of flexoelectrity and applications 

    Navarrete Manso, Gabriel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    In this thesis we focus on computational modelling of flexoelectricity for the design of metamaterials exhibiting apparent piezoelectricity. To do this, we introduce generalized periodicity conditions in an existing finite ...
  • Filtering properties of neuronal networks 

    Villanueva Benito, Guillermo (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Covenantee:   New Jersey Institute of Technology
    Mathematical models are widely used to characterize the nervous system. Moreover, they continue to be the subject of further research. This work consists of two parts where different mathematical modeling tools are exploited ...
  • Advanced mathematics for new therapeutics: a proposal for chronic pain 

    Martín Ortega, Víctor (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    G protein-coupled receptors are membrane proteins that transmit signals inside the cell by the interaction of neurotransmitters, hormones, and synthetic molecules. These proteins may be present in the membrane forming ...
  • Singularities via the Frobenius homomorphism 

    Navarro Travesset, Oriol (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Resolution of singularities in algebraic varieties has been a topic of interest in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry during the last decades. Altough we have a theory of resolution of singularities for rings of ...
  • Oscillatory dynamics with applications to cognitive tasks 

    Suárez Segarra, Andrea (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Oscillations are ubiquitous in the brain and robustly correlate with distinct cognitive tasks. A specific type of oscillatory signals allows robust switching between states in networks involved in memorizing tasks. In ...
  • Improving neural networks using topological data analysis 

    Ballester Bautista, Rubén (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-09)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Generalisation measures are metrics that indicate how well a neural network will perform in presence of unknown data. Differentiable generalisation measures with respect to the parameters of a neural network that use only ...
  • Finiteness properties of local cohomology modules 

    Quingles Daví, Guillem (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-09)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Local cohomology modules are one of the central objects in commutative algebra. However, the structure of these modules is still full of mystery. Lyubeznik conjectured that the number of associated primes and all the Bass ...
