Tabone, W. (author)
This thesis explores how automated vehicles will interact with pedestrians in the urban environment through augmented reality technology. Nine distinct AR interfaces were designed, developed, and evaluated to assess how different design elements (symbols, text, colour) and distinct mappings of the AR (on the road, on the vehicle, or head-locked)...

Almeida Benalcazar, E.F. (author)
The mitigation of global warming requires an urgent shift from the fossil fuel-based productive matrix currently in place. Technological platforms are being developed to reduce the amount of carbon of fossil origin, which is emitted to the atmosphere as a side-product from the production of energy. Gas mixtures containing CO, H2 and CO2 are...

Superconducting qubits have seen a tremendous progress in the last two decades, and yet they remain unable to extract quantum advantage for application scenarios. While algorithms like Shor’s demonstrate quantum advantage in theory, they do not seem to fit modern noisy quantum processors. Then, in order to achieve quantum advantage either modern...

Borehole operations play a crucial role in managing various subsurface activities related to energy, including energy storage, geothermal energy production, CO2 sequestration, oil and gas extraction, wastewater disposal, and thermal recovery processes. In recent times, intelligent well technologies, such as long deviated multi-lateral wells...

This thesis contributes to the effective and efficient application of unsteady adjoint methods to Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) for Large Eddy Simulation (LES). Three aspects, i.e., subgrid-scale model error, storage cost of high-dimensional data, and stability of the adjoint problem for turbulent flows, were studied to make adjoint-based mesh...

Tosto, F. (author)
The vast majority of energy conversion systems currently makes use of fossil fuels, whose combustion generates harmful greenhouse gases. Transitioning to renewable energy sources is thus paramount to limiting the environmental impact of human activities on the climate. In this regard, the harvesting of wasted thermal energy constitutes a...

Monitoring time-lapse changes inside the subsurface is of great significance to many geotechnical applications, such as storage of gasses in underground geological formations. Minute differences in the seismic wavefield between an initial baseline and a subsequent monitor survey have to be detected in order to observe fluid flow inside...

Burns can make patients’ lives quite miserable. Apart from prominent and thickened, or hypertrophic, scars, the skin may be characterized by contraction. When this contraction is so severe that the patient loses joint mobility, it is called contracture. Then a patient may have difficulties with sports or other daily activities. The consequence...

Aortic aneurysm, a balloon-like enlargement of the healthy artery, is a cardiovascular disease with one of the highest mortality rates. These numbers are due to the usual late diagnosis of the aneurysm, which is often asymptomatic until a fatal event occurs. Such an event can progress to aortic dissection or rupture. Due to the urgent nature of...

The past decades have seen the rapid development of many aspects of synthetic biology. For example, attempts to build synthetic cells under controlled conditions in the laboratory have led to significant achievements. Following a bottom-up approach, scientists aim at building a self-reproducing synthetic cell with a minimum number of biological...

Experimentally investigating the nanoscale behavior at oxide-electrolyte interfaces has proven to be extremely challenging. Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations have arisen as a potential computational alternative to gain atomic level insights at these interfaces. But how accurately do these simulations represent the physics and chemistry at the...

Current aircraft maintenance ensures safe and reliable flight operations based on inspections repeated at fixed time intervals. The time interval between inspections is often much shorter than the average life of aircraft components, in an effort to timely detect potential failures. While this approach successfully prevents most potential...

The transition to sustainable energy iswell underway and is introducing changes on both sides of the electricity balance scale – generation and demand. On the generation side, emissions-free renewable generation resources such as wind and solar are replacing the pollution-emitting thermal power plants. On the demand side, energy sectors...

The research described in this doctoral thesis was part of the BaSyC consortium, which aims to build synthetic cells from bottom up. My small role in this large collaboration was to study the theoretical basis for cell division. This is a very complex process in living organisms, involves many components and can be accomplished in a variety of...

In recent years, advances in technology have enabled the employment of automated systems to control driving tasks. The idea of electronic devices having complete control over a vehicle promises to change the concept of mobility soon. However, allowing computers to control all the tasks in a vehicle demands sophisticated systems and significant...
