Fluorescence cross-correlation spectroscopy to study hemodynamics
(2016-04-28)
[EN] In the recent years a series of optical correlation techniques have been developed
in order to be able to measure flow velocity with high spatial resolution while being non-invasive in order to be employed in-vivo ...
The propagation of nerve pulses: From the Hodgkin-Huxley model to the soliton theory
(2014-06-23)
The present project aims to describe and study the nature and transmission of nerve pulses. First we review a classical model by Hodgkin-Huxley which describes the nerve pulse as a pure electric signal which propagates due ...
Coexistence of the two dimensional electron gas and ferroelectric domains in ferroelectric thin films
(2018-04-17)
[EN] Thin film ferroelectrics screen their in-built depolarizing electric filed by forming domains of opposite polarization within the film. Similar materials have been found to favour surface charge accumulation as screening ...
Finite graphs, free groups and Stallings’ foldings
(2018-04-18)
[EN] The main goal of the work is to study some basic properties of free groups, by using group theory and topology. For this, graphs play a main role, since we will prove that the fundamental group of a connected graph ...
Spatial and temporal distribution of macroalgal assemblages associated with the invasive Asparagopsis armata on intertidal rocky shore in Azores
(2018-04-18)
[EN] Rapid globalization and the increasing trends of trade, travel, and transport in recent decades have accelerated marine biological invasions. The Rhodophyta Asparagopsis armata is considered one of the most invasive ...
Zitterbewegung physics in a single trapped ion
(2014-06-24)
Study on the activation mechanism of BCL-2 related ovarian killer (BOK)
(2016-04-28)
BCL-2 family proteins are key regulators of the mitochondrial apoptotic machinery, controlling the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) permeabilization (MOMP). BCL-2 related Ovarian Killer (BOK) is a poorly understood ...
Machine detection of emotions: feature selection
(2017-01-10)
Study of machine emotion recognition, focused on the recognition of sarcasm in sentences in Spanish. The performance ofifferent dimensionality reduction techniques is studied for this problem.
Quantum computation with superconductors
(2017-01-10)
Quantum computation using supercoducting qubits. Qubits are quantum bits used in quantum computers. Superconducting qubits are a strong option for building a quantum computer. But not just that, as they are macroscopic ...
Quantum Machine Learning
(2017-01-10)
[EN] In a world in which accessible information grows exponentially, the selection of the appropriate information turns out to be an extremely relevant problem. In this context, the idea of Machine Learning (ML), a subfield ...
