Capital structure in publicly held family firms: a behavioral agency theory analysis
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2018-05-24)
This dissertation proposes behavioral agency theory as a theoretical approach that, through its family firm variant (socioemotional wealth), can offer an alternative explanation for the capital structure decisions of family ...
Optimization of distribution networks using evolutionary algorithms
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2018)
One of the biggest problems that a distribution network (DN) must face is the constant increase in load demand, which eventually will cause the degradation of its optimal operation. To overcome these challenges the ...
Urban radio propagation for vehicular environments, a spatial vehicular traffic density channel characterization
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2018-12-04)
Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) are envisaged to be a critical building block of Smart Cities and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Although there is a significant research effort in V2X (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure ...
Navegación autónoma de un dron hexacóptero con visión estereoscópica para mapeo y evasión de obstáculos en tiempo real.
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2018)
La presente tesis aborda como tema central el uso de un dron de tipo multi-rotor para navegación autónoma por medio de visión estereoscópica. Su vuelo puede resultar en una tarea difícil ya que los pilotos requieren de ...
Emotional Domotics: acquisition of an equation for the correlation of emotional states and environmental variables through the facial expressions analysis of the user
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2018-11-03)
The emotional domotics that is a concept developed by our research team seeks to integrate the subject or user of an inhabitable space as central element for the modulation and control of the environmental variables in a ...
Tailored optical fields and their applications in quantum information processing
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2018-05-15)
A set of experimental techniques to digitally shape an optical beam are presented. In particular, we show how to digitally study the interference phenomena in different geometries and observables. We also present a novel ...

(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2018-05-14)
El objetivo de esta investigación fue realizar un análisis de las fuentes y sumideros de emisiones de Gases de Efecto Invernadero dentro de la cadena de producción de ganado bovino. Se analiza la situación en México respecto ...
Control charts for autocorrelated processes under parameter estimation
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2018)
Statistical Processes Monitoring is a collection of statistical-based methodologies and methods for monitoring the quality of manufactured products or services. Within these tools, control charts are powerful ones to assist ...
Effects of sound on growth, viability, protein production yield and gene expression in Escherichia coli.
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2018-12-14)
The effect of sound on biological systems is a subject that has been previously explored, mainly in relation to its use to increase agricultural production. However, the potential of this phenomenon has not been exploited ...
Self-Assembly behavior of amphiphilic janus dendrimers in water: a combined experimental and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation approach
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2018-05-14)
Amphiphilic Janus dendrimers (JDs) are repetitively branched molecules with hydrophilic and hydrophobic components that self-assemble in water to form a variety of morphologies, including vesicles analogous to liposomes ...
