Los ríos Paraná y Uruguay poseen gran importancia por sus múltiples aprovechamientos, su rol en la biodiversidad y en actividades socio-económicas y ambientales. En estos, una de las variables menos conocida es el transporte ...
Several wastewaters are generated in the brewing process. Washing effluents from machines and equipment represent the largest volume and are treated in plants that include anaerobic and aerobic reactors. Certain effluents ...
Captured 2DV patterns of river flow velocities in a cross-plane provide the basis for inferring the existence of helical flow in open-channel bends and stream confluences. Researchers usually refer to the procedure named ...
The voice and related biomedical signals carry information characterizing the phonation. The accurate extraction of this information becomes beneficial in medicine and other fields. In this Thesis, new methods for modeling ...
The development of numerical methods for one-phase flows have undergone a tremendous progress and impressive results. The case of multi-phase flows is a field placed far from being completely understood and the available ...
Clinical gait analysis is a process to identify the causes of gait patterns who patients with any motor disorders develop, and how they come to it gait. In this way, musculoskeletal models arise to estimate individual ...
This thesis presents two algorithms for parallel generation of unstructured all-tetrahedral meshes for a given set of points. The first method generates a Delaunay mesh for the interior of the point set's convex hull. This ...
Computational methods have been used in safety and design analysis of reactor systems for nearly 40 years. The most popular computational fluid dynamics codes have been formulated based on 0/1D methods. Although the flow ...
Historically in Argentina, cattle grazing occurred in extensive lands, in natural pastures. From the 90´s, cattle production increased but to the expense of a new production type, feedlots-FL or animal feeding operation ...
The information regarding climate variability and extreme events (EE) and its impact on northeastern Argentina could help to assist decision-making and to achieve efficient climate risk management policies and practices. ...
