    Yang, Chunyu (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10-27)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Microfluidics has become a field of intense research in the last decades due to the interesting capabilities this type of devices have. In the sensing area, they are meant to outperform classical laboratory techniques in ...
  • CNN-based detection and classification of UV-radiation solar and extrasolar flares 

    Ayyash Sala, Daniel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10-31)
    Master thesis
    Restricted access - confidentiality agreement
    This MSc. thesis studies the applicability of the CNN-based algorithm stella [2] for the detection of flares from different data sets: optical TESS (exo)stellar, EUV DSO/AIA and GNSS (the last two for Solar flares). First, ...
  • Density functional approach in the study of Bose-Bose liquid drops 

    Sanuy Latorre, Ares (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-10-28)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    We have studied quantum liquid drops composed by a mixture of two Bose components using a density-functional formulation. The functional has been built following two different methods: the beyond mean-field Lee-Huang-Yang ...
  • Innovative calibration method for rotating-coil magnetometers 

    Fontanet Valls, Andrea Del Carme (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-05-26)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Rotating-coil magnetometers, which rely on induction-coil arrays, are commonly used for magnetic measurements of particle accelerator magnets. In order to characterize magnetic fields with high accuracy using the induced ...
  • Modelling the formation of the Granuloma inside secondary lobule of the lungs 

    Cabrera Cortada, Julia (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-07-08)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    The aim of this project is to progress in understanding Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) through studying the formation of granuloma in the pulmonary secondary lobe. A reaction-diffuson model has been developed to study ...
  • Non-linear simulations of MHD instabilities in tokamak plasma 

    Civit Bertran, Albert (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-07-11)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    The MHD Infrastructure for Plasma Simulation code, MIPS code, is the non-linear MHD (magnetohydrodynamics) code oriented to study the properties of magnetically confined plasma. In this project the MIPS code has been ...
  • Modeling and performance analysis of photoconductive antennas for THz generation 

    Schönenberger Solà, David (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-07-12)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Photoconductive antennas are devices capable of generating THz waves. In this thesis, we propose a model of THz wave generation in photoconductive antennas based on the Dude model. The derived equations explain the THz ...
  • Implementation of externally imposed flow in stellarator plasma 

    Miralles Moscatelli, Jose (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-07-15)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Numerical simulations of non-linear MHD in a stellarator plasma have been performed using MIPS code. During the project, the preliminary approach of the implementation of an externally imposed flow in MIPS code has been ...
  • Approaching the exascale simulation of subsonic turbulence with smoothed particle hydrodynamics 

    Sanz Lechuga, Axel (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2022-09-09)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    Turbulence is key to many astrophysical and cosmological scenarios. Hence, a correct depiction of it in numerical simulations is of capital importance. Kolmogorov's theory states that in the subsonic regime the energy ...
  • Development of a cardiac model for the study of sudden cardiac death in infants 

    Alonso García-Cabezón, Mateo (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-09-15)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    The Sudden Unexpected Death of an Infant (SUDI) is the unforeseen death of a newborn less than 12 months old. A mutation was discovered in a number of cases of SUDI that affects the protein troponin (Tn) present in ...
  • Restricted Boltzmann Machine learning through RAPID equations 

    Garí Galíndez, Jon (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-09-10)
    Master thesis
    Open Access
    This work consists on the theoretical study of Restricted Bolzmann Machines, neural networks that can learn the empirical distribution of different datasets. Particularly, we have studied RAPID, an alternative model that ...
  • Study of the evolution of new variants during an epidemic 

    Rifà Rovira, Eva (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2021-07-09)
    Master thesis
    Restricted access - author's decision
    The coronavirus global pandemic, first identified in December 2019 caused by SARS-CoV-2 is one of the deadliest pandemics in history. Throughout the pandemic the virus has evolvedin the form of new variants. During the ...
