Mesógenos alquiloxicianobifenilos : aspectos teóricos y experimentales en las transiciones de fase SmA-N y N-I
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2009-03-11)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe work presented here has been focused, basically, on the study of the SmA-N and N-I phase transitions of a group of liquid crystals, the alkyloxycyanobiphenyls (nOCB), in which, for some of them, as it is the case of ... -
Coupled dynamical processes in bacteria
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-10-27)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThe main object of this Thesis is the study of the dynamical coupling between cellular processes, and how this coupling gives rise to a well-defined behavior in the presence of non-linearities and noise. Cell functioning ... -
First measurement of beta-decay half-lives and neutron emission probabilities in several isotopes beyond N = 126
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-06-05)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessIn this work beta-decay half-lives and neutron-emission probability values have been experimentally determined for first time in several nuclei beyond the neutron-shell closure at N=126. To this aim the accelerator complex ... -
Scaling-up methodology : a systematical procedure for qualifying NPP nodalizations. Application to the OECD/NEA ROSA-2 and PKL-2 Counterpart test
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2014-11-17)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessSystem codes along with necessary nodalizations are valuable tools for thermal hydraulic safety analysis. Qualifying both codes and nodalizations is an essential step prior to their use in any significant study involving ... -
