(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-11-17)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis dissertation focuses on determining the vertical electron content distribution in low and high vertical resolution from ground-based and LEO on board GNSS data and improving the knowledge of ionosphere climatology in ... -
Large-scale CFD and micro-particles simulations in a large human airways under sniff condition and drug delivery application
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-11-10)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessAs we inhale, the air drawn through our nose undergoes successive accelerations and decelerations as it is turned, split, and recombined before splitting again at the end of the trachea as it enters the bronchi. Fully ... -

Multiapproach computational modelling of tuberculosis : understanding its epidemiological dynamics for improving its control in Nigeria
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07-20)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessTuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that is considered to be the biggest killer of mankind in the history of infectious diseases. There are still more than 10 million new TB cases every year and it causes more than ... -
Computational analysis of ion cyclotron resonance frequency heating for JET experiments
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2019-09-27)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessHeating plasmas to a relevant fusion temperature is one of the key aspects of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Radio frequency (RF) heating with electromagnetic waves in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) ... -
Active flow control methods for aerodynamic applications
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07-17)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe cylinder in cross flow has been the subject of many numerical and experimental studies since it provides a deep insight of the physical phenomena occurring in a wide range of flow regimes. Despite a number of investigations ... -
Comparison of the response of different configurations of aircraft repair patches under static and dynamic loading
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07-10)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessIn the modern era of transportation, air travel has gained a huge pace and still kept increasing. The global demand for air transport is increasing at a rate of 6%, because of population growth and ticket price reductions. ... -
Modelling pathological effects in intracellular calcium dynamics leading to atrial fibrillation
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07-23)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe heart beating is produced by the synchronization of the cardiac cells' contraction. A dysregulation in this mechanism may produce episodes of abnormal heart contraction. The origin of these abnormalities often lies at ... -
Estimation of binding free energies with Monte Carlo atomistic simulations and enhanced sampling
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-07-22)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe advances in computing power have motivated the hope that computational methods can accelerate the pace of drug discovery pipelines. For this, fast, reliable and user-friendly tools are required. One of the fields that ... -
Neuronal encoding and transmission of weak periodic signals
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-02-20)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessSensory neurons use sequences of electrical pulses (known as action potentials or spikes) to encode and transmit information of external temporal stimuli. Neural coding is the research field that studies the relationship ... -
Machine learning methods for the characterization and classification of complex data
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-02-11)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis work presents novel methods for the analysis and classification of medical images and, more generally, complex data. First, an unsupervised machine learning method is proposed to order anterior chamber OCT ...
