With the massive use of digital photography, large databases of images have been built during the last decades, both for industry and medicine. However, the images were generally captured with different lighting conditions, poses of the camera and types of camera. This ...

Textural atomization designates the mechanism of drop peeling from the interface of a free liquid flow. This mechanismis controlled by the characteristics of the flow issuing from the injector and manifests at its vicinity. Almost uninvestigated,textural atomization is ...

Cerebellar defects encompass a group of rare diseases affecting cerebellar functioning. The prevalence of these defects is estimated to be 26 in 10000 children in Europe. These diseases lead to movement disorders (ataxia) and are frequently associated with intellectual ...

The Data Quality Monitoring of High Energy Physics experiments is a crucial and demanding task to deliver high-quality data used for physics analysis. At the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment operating at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, the current quality assessment par...

High-performance piezoelectrics are key components of various smart devicesand, recently, it has been discovered that (Ba,Ca)(Ti,Zr)O3 (BCTZ) solid solutions show appealingelectromechanical properties. Nevertheless, the microscopic mechanisms leading to suchfeatures are...

This thesis aims to provide tools for improving ergonomics at work environments. Some work activities in industry are commonly executed by workers in a non-ergonomic fashion, which may lead to musculoskeletal disorders in the short or in the long term. Work-related Musc...

Nowadays it is imperative to reduce the CO2 emission of automotives due to the climate changes. One of the essential strategies is to use new energy vehicles, such as Hybrid and pure Electrical Vehicles ((H)EVs). However, no matter what the energy storage devices (H)EVs...

In this thesis, the definition and effects of quasi-periodicity in periodic structure are investigated. More importantly, the presence of irregularity in periodic structures and its significant impact in vibroacoustic responses of elastic systems are analyzed. In the ex...

Despite the astonishing diversity of plants, animals and macroscopic fungi, most eukaryotic diversity is actually microbial. The eukaryotic tree comprises several large monophyletic supergroups. One of these groups is the Opisthokonta, which encompasses two branches, Ho...

The elapsed time model has been widely studied in the context of mathematical neuroscience with many open questions left. The model consists of an age-structured equation that describes the dynamics of interacting neurons described by their refractory period, i.e. the e...
