Control of mast cell regulated exocytosis by Munc18 proteins
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-06-15)
Mast cells (MCs) play pivotal roles in many inflammatory conditions including allergic diseases. MCs store immunoregulatory compounds in their large cytoplasmic granules and, upon stimulation, secrete them via regulated ...
Decoding of motor information from noninvasive electroencephalographic signals for brain-computer interfaces
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-01-29)
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are emerging assistive technologies that provide an artificial communication pathway between the brain and the external world. These systems translate a mental task performed by the user ...
Corneal endothelium produced by tissue engineering
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-12-14)
Engineered corneal endothelium (ECE) must assure cell morphology and physiology. To do so, a biocompatible, transparent, scaffold is the best option. The purpose of this thesis is to produce an ECE with a collagen scaffold ...
The general equation of the stigmatic lens
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-12)
I present a solution to a problem proposed by Diocles, in ancient Greece. A problem with more than two millennia without an analytical close form solution, the design of the stigmatic lens. Stigmatism refers to the ...
Multi-sensory immersion to improve the user experience in the decision-making process
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-11-23)
In daily life, human beings interact with the real world in an intrinsic multi-sensory way, obtaining information and interacting through the use of various senses that allow them to perceive the environment. At a computational ...
Valorization of the Leucaena leucocephala protein by assessing its functional properties and production of bioactive peptides
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-12-16)
The Leucaena leucocephala (LL) is a mimosoid legume tree autochthonous from México and Central America. The LL seeds are regionally consumed in traditional dishes due to their high protein content. In this work, LL seeds ...
Predicting the best sensor fusion method for recognizing human activity using a machine learning approach based on a statistical signature meta-data set and its generalization to other domains
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-11)
Multi-sensor fusion refers to methods used to combine information from multiple (in some cases, different) sensors with the aim of making one sensor compensate for the weaknesses of others or to improve the overall accuracy ...
Study of bioactive molecules of three cactaceae (Stenocereus pruinosus, Pachycereus weberi and Escontria Chiotilla) and their betalaina extraction in aqueous two-phase systems
Mexico has a great diversity of cacti, however, many of their fruits have not been studied in greater depth. Several bioactive compounds available in cacti juices extract have demonstrated nutraceutical properties. Two ...
Semi-Active Magnetorheological Damper Device for Chatter Mitigation during Milling of Thin-Floor Components
The productivity during the machining of thin-floor components is limited due to unstable vibrations, which lead to poor surface quality and part rejection at the last stage of the manufacturing process. In this thesis, ...
On the relationship between the shape of the hydrograph and the topography of a basin using a physical model
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-12-16)
This work intended to establish the main relations between the topographic characteristics of the basin and the main parameters, like total runoff volume, peak flow, time to peak and base time, that determine the shape of ...
