Development of the new AINA code and its application to the Safety Analysis of the European DEMO designs
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-07-22)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessA conclusion that can be drawn from the historical safety analyses developed for tokamaks fusion reactors is that some of the major risks involve incidents in the vacuum vessel. In order to evaluate plasma evolution and ... -
Flow and heat transfer of impinging synthetic jets
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-06-19)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessSynthetic jets are produced by the oscillatory movement of a membrane inside a cavity, causing fluid to enter and leave through a small orifice. This results in a net jet that is able to transfer kinetic energy and momentum ... -
Decolourization of textile wastewater by manganese-aluminium metallic particles
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-07-10)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessWaste treatment is an important aspect of an industry. Organic dyes are used in many fields, such as textile, paper or food. Residual dye compounds from these industries are one of the most critical sources of environmental ... -
Optimal trajectory management for aircraft descent operations subject to time constraints
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-06-25)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe growth in traffic increased the pressure on the environmental sustainability of air transport. In this context, many research effort has been devoted to minimise the environmental impact in the different phases of ... -
Estudio de la inhomogeneidad elástica en vidrios metalicos en la mesoescala
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-06-28)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessMetallic glasses are amorphous solids produced by rapid cooling, with disordered atomic structure and lacking long-range order. This structural disorder makes them to show mechanical properties different from those observed ... -
Hilbert analysis of air temperature dynamics
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-04-04)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe dynamics of the climate system plays a crucial role in the sustainability of life on Earth, and this motivates research to understand and characterise our climate and predict its evolution. In this thesis we focus on ... -
Global ionospheric maps : estimation and assessment in post-processing and real-time
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-04-09)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe research of this paper-based dissertation is focused on Global Ionospheric Maps (GIM) generation and assessment. In summary, the novelty and thematic unity in this works relies on four different but complementary topics: ... -
Data-driven neural mass modelling
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-03-28)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe brain is a complex organ whose activity spans multiple scales, both spatial and temporal. The computational unit of the brain is thought to be the neurone. At the microscopic level, neurones communicate via action ... -
World-wide analysis and modelling of the ionospheric and plasmaspheric electron contents by means of radio occultations
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-02-25)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe research of this dissertation is studying the ionosphere by GPS radio occultation (RO) techniques. It is mainly divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the methodology in electron density profile retrievals ... -
Cost-based linear holding practice and collaborative air traffic flow management under trajectory based operations
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-11-20)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe current air transportation system is reaching the capacity limit in many countries/regions across the world. It tends to be less efficient or even incapable sometimes to deal with the enormous air traffic demand that ... -
Dynamics and physical processes involving extreme temperatures in the Iberian Peninsula and Iraq
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-10-03)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe occurrence of heat waves and cold spells has received special attention in recent years due to their impact on human health, ecosystems and economy. In the context of climate change, there is evidence that extreme ... -
Study of the meteorological mechanisms controlling levels and transport processes of airborne pollen in the atmosphere
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-10-05)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessAerobiology is the science that focuses on the study of the airborne living organisms (bacteria, fungal spores, pollen, small insects, etc.). The influence of meteorology and climate change on plant phenology include shifts ...
