BIOCOM-SC - Grup de Biologia Computacional i Sistemes Complexos
El grup de recerca BIOCOM-SC aspira a crear sinergies de manera que els coneixements de física bàsica (fluids, materials, sistemes complexos) s’utilitzin per abordar problemes en biociència, des d’aquells d’interès en biomedicina (dinàmica d’ones elèctriques al cor, xarxes neuronals, tuberculosi) a d’altres d’enginyeria de sistemes biològics (simulació de sistemes microbians d’interès agroalimentari i medi ambiental). Per assolir aquest objectiu comptem amb un grup interdisciplinari on a més de físics hi ha matemàtics, enginyers i biòlegs, en col·laboració amb grups de biologia experimental de dins i fora de Catalunya. L’objectiu final és esdevenir un grup de referència en biologia teòrica i computacional capaç de fer el salt des de les idees de física fonamental a problemes d’interès biosanitari o mediambiental.
The group studies out-of-equilibrium systems by means of nonlinear dynamics techniques and their application to the self-organisation of complex systems, spatiotemporal pattern formation, biophysical systems, materials science, nanometric devices, studies and measurements in architectural and environmental acoustics and energetic efficiency in buildings.

Simulation of a full ISRU-based system for energy storage and electricity generation on the Moon
(European Conference for AeroSpace Sciences (EUCASS), 2022)
Conference report
Open AccessThe survival of the crew and assets during the lunar night is one of the biggest challenges in the exploration of the Moon. The storage and supply of energy are key elements for the success of a mission. We present numerical ... -
Spectral mass gauging in mid-size propellant tanks
(European Conference for AeroSpace Sciences (EUCASS), 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe measurement of propellant mass in upper stage tanks during 0g coasting phase is a challenge given the unknown location and shape of the liquid in microgravity. Nevertheless, an accurate mass gauging at any stage of a ... -

An acoustic technique for propellant gauging
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe gauging of propellants in upper stages or satellites in orbit is a challenging task due to the absence of buoyancy, which makes liquids and gases adopt a large variety of configurations. The new Spectral Mass Gauging ... -
Heat transfer management in propellant tanks
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyA critical issue in long-term space exploration missions is the storage and management of cryogenic propellants. Storage tanks are exposed to extreme temperatures and radiation, and hot spots might appear on the tank walls ... -
Integrated acoustic technology for boil-off control, mass gauging, and structural health monitoring in cryogenic fuel tanks
(2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyLong-term space exploration missions require efficient systems for cryogenic propellant storage and management. The exposure of the fuel tanks to the in-space operational environment implies the need for efficient technologies ... -
Individual prevention and containment measures in schools in Catalonia, Spain, and community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 after school re-opening

Open AccessDespite their clear lesser vulnerability to COVID-19, the extent by which children are susceptible to getting infected by SARS-CoV-2 and their capacity to transmit the infection to other people remains inadequately ... -
Mass-conservation increases robustness in stochastic reaction-diffusion models of cell crawling
(Frontiers Media SA, 2022-04-28)
Article
Open AccessThe process of polarization determines the head and tail of single cells. A mechanism of this kind frequently precedes the subsequent cell locomotion and it determines the direction of motion. The process of polarization ... -
The origin and maintenance of tuberculosis is explained by the induction of smear-negative disease in the paleolithic
(2022-03-17)
Article
Open AccessIs it possible that the origin of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection was around 70,000 years before the common era? At that time Homo sapiens was just another primate species with discrete growth and a very low-density ...
