Optimal fine of wastewater outfall problem in shallow body of water : A bilevel optimization approach
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-05-21)
A large literature on bilevel programming has emerged, focussing on optimality conditions of algorithms and theory associated with certain class of problems. The topic treated in this thesis aim to model the wastewater ...
A methodology for prediction interval adjustment for short term load forecasting
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-12)
Electricity load forecasting is an essential tool for the effective power grid operation and for energy markets. However, the lack of accuracy on the estimation of the electricity demand may cause an excessive or insufficient ...
Engineering interventions against emergent and pandemic infectious diseases: Rational design of cost-effective diagnostics and therapies
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-12-04)
In the last two decades, there have been very important epidemic (and pandemic) episodes related to viral infections in humans. These diseases have caused millions of deaths. The main viruses that have been affected to ...
Rhythmic expression of microRNAs in entrained human breast cell lines
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-06)
Circadian rhythms is an essential system for temporal (~24 hours) regulation of molecular processes in diverse organisms. Dysregulation of circadian gene expression has been associated to pathogenesis of various disorders, ...
Validation of a selenized chickpea flour as a potential ingredient for functional foods
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021)
Germination of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in presence of selenium (Se) is an alternative to increase the mineral and healthy-related properties of the sprouts. This study aimed to produce an Se-enriched chickpea sprouts ...
Synthesis of multicomponent polyhydroxyalkanoates from fatty acid sources in Cupriavidus necator H16 and its recombinant strain C. necator H16/pMPJAS03
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-04)
This thesis focused on developing fermentation strategies for the production of multicomponent PHAs, mainly of the type scl-mcl copolymers with a decreased melting temperature and crystallinity.
The thesis consists of 7 ...
Evaluation of compositional changes in pecan nuts during storage and the use of pulsed electric fields as an aid to enhance oil extraction yield
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2021-02)
Pecan nut kernels have been identified as an important source of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, phytosterols, tocopherols, and phenolic compounds. Likewise, the oil commonly extracted by mechanical pressing of pecan ...
General Protocol to Design Highly Effective Food Products against Chronic Degenerative Diseases by using Nutraceutical Combinations as Novel Element
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-06-05)
Chronic degenerative diseases (CDDs) are the leading causes of death worldwide. Nutraceuticals are compounds naturally found in foods that have preventive and therapeutic activities against CDDs. However, no single ...
Propuesta de un nuevo modelo para la transición de fase líquido-sólido en materiales de cambio de fase
(Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, 2020-11-27)
El comportamiento incorrecto de las soluciones numéricas en sistemas térmicamente aislados se ha explicado recientemente al considerar cambios de volumen durante la transición de fase líquido-sólido a través de la conservación ...
