This Ph.D. thesis aims to obtain and to develop some mathematical models to understand some aspects of the dynamics of heterogeneous granular fluids. More precisely, the expected result is to develop three models, one where the dynamics of the granular material is modeled using a mixture theory a...
This thesis studies the time-independent solutions of systems of partial differential equations
given by reaction-diffusion models. The study is motivated by two different contexts: non-linear
optics and cellular biology.
In the context of optics, we study the Eckhaus instability observed in the ...
Esta Tesis plantea la pregunta de si el uso de morteros con parafinas
microencapsuladas combinado con colectores solares térmicos puede
reducir el consumo de energías convencionales, en un sistema tradicional
de suelo radiante. Se pretende contribuir al conocimiento acerca del efecto
que produce ...
This Thesis proposes the question of whether the use of mortars with
microencapsulated paraffin combined with solar thermal collectors can
reduce conventional energy consumption in a traditional heating floor
system. It aims to contribute to knowledge about the effect that it has on the

La línea celular más utilizada en la industria farmacéutica para la producción de proteínas recombinantes es la de ovario de hámster chino (CHO, por sus siglas en inglés). Esta se caracteriza por hacer glicosilaciones con alto grado de similitud al ser comparada con la proteína humana. Sin embarg...
The cells line more used in pharmaceutics industry for r-protein production is Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO). This one is characterized for to do glycosylation with high similitude grade when is compared with human protein. However, there are associated limitations. On the one hand, the deficient u...
Agricultural production must double by 2050 in order to meet the expected food demand due to population growth. Within the technologies employed and developed to achieve this goal, research on development of intelligent automated or semi-automated mobile robots capable to navigate in agricultural...
A large number of risk models are currently used in different health institutions. Machine Learning tools can be used to automate these processes and improve the results of these models. These models can be incorporated into clinical processes through systems known as Clinical Decision Support Sy...
This dissertation consists of two independent essays that have the same ultimate goal: to influence consumers to make decisions that are aligned with the objectives of a business or policy maker. In the following two sections, we introduce the real-world context, goals, analytical methods, and ma...
This work focuses on the geomorphological dynamics of a river system and the modelling of
these changes over a medium time scale (the order of a few decades) and a large watersheds
spatial scale (the order of 5000 km2).
A literature review shows that this subject is one of the main issues in fluv...
Ce travail s’intéresse aux altérations des systèmes fluviaux et à leur modélisation à une
échelle de temps intermédiaire, de l’ordre de quelques décennies, et à l’échelle spatiale de
bassins versants étendus et complexes.
Une revue de la littérature montre que cette question reste principale chez...
The hydraulic transport of solids (hydro-transport) in the form of slurry is an essential technology for transporting large volumes of raw, process and waste materials in several industries such as oil and gas, metallurgy and mining. However, although this type of transport system is considered s...
The study of the interactions between multidimensional boxes (i.e., axis aligned d-dimensional hyperrectangles) has found important applications in distinct areas, including computational geometry, databases, graph theory and networks.
We deal with some open questions on this matter, focusing o...
El estudio de las interacciones entre cajas multi-dimensionales (es decir, hiperrectángulos d-dimensionales alineados a los ejes) ha encontrado aplicaciones en distintas áreas, incluyendo geometría computacional, bases de datos, teoría de grafos y redes. Esta tesis considera varias preguntas abie...
