The thesis evaluates the possibilities and constraints for the architectural integration of solar cooling systems in façades, in order to support the design of climate responsive architectural products for office buildings as self-sufficient alternatives to conventional air-conditioning systems. ...

Unconventional reservoirs are a challenge in the petrophysics discipline, since the core samples have more tiny pores and stress sensitive. Tight Gas Sandstones (TGS) type of reservoir can be classified as conventional or unconventional, because in some layers of the reservoir typically presents ...

Estimating predictive uncertainty is crucial for many computer vision tasks, from image classification to autonomous driving systems. Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) is an sampling method for performing Bayesian inference. On the other hand, Dropout regularization has been proposed as an approximat...

Collapses in tailings storage facilities (TSF), due to the breakage of its dam, are disasters that cause significant economic, environmental and, in some cases, human life losses. In Chile, this phenomenon has occurred mainly due to the action of earthquakes, which produce the liquefaction of tai...

Los colapsos en depósitos superficiales de relaves, dada la rotura de su muro de contención, son desastres que causan importantes pérdidas económicas, ambientales y, en algunos casos, de vidas humanas. En Chile, este fenómeno se ha producido principalmente por la acción de sismos, los que produce...

A numerical model is developed for the dispersion of pollutant substances released into the atmosphere at zones of small dimensions characterized by terrain with complex geometrical configuration. The model is based on the computation of the flow field by solving the governing conservation equati...

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo comprender el proceso de Ósmosis Directa (FO, en inglés), por medio de la experimentación realizada en laboratorio y del análisis de los resultados obtenidos. Se enmarca dentro de un proyecto mayor que busca recuperar fósforo, por medio de la precipitación ...

Se espera que la tercera generación de celdas solares mantenga los bajos costos de producción alcanzados actualmente, al mismo tiempo de mejorar considerablemente los niveles de eficiencia. A medida que se desarrollan nuevos materiales y configuraciones, mejoras en el manejo térmico son requerida...
