Development of novel techniques of advanced transport characterization of membranes
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-10-01)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessOptimization of membrane separation processes rely on the accurate determination of some parameters related to membrane structure, chemistry, morphology or transport mechanism. Therefore, membrane characterization is ... -
Global Hamiltonian dynamics on singular symplectic manifolds
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-10-02)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessIn this thesis, we study the Reeb and Hamiltonian dynamics on singular symplectic and contact manifolds. Those structures are motivated by singularities coming from classical mechanics and fluid dynamics. We start by ... -
Aspects of semantic ETL

(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-10-20)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessTechnology in the twenty-first century is rapidly developing and driving us into a new smart computing world, and emerging lots of new computing architectures. Fog-to-Cloud (F2C) is among one of them, which emerges to ... -
Enhanced mobility management mechanisms for 5G networks
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-10-01)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessMany mechanisms that served the legacy networks till now, are being identified as being grossly sub-optimal for 5G networks. The reason being, the increased complexity of the 5G networks compared previous legacy systems. ... -
Large-scale tree-based unfitted finite elements for metal additive manufacturing
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-10-07)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThis thesis addresses large-scale numerical simulations of partial differential equations posed on evolving geometries. Our target application is the simulation of metal additive manufacturing (or 3D printing) with powder-bed ... -
