Search for Invisible Decay Channels of Positronium Confined in a Vacuum Cavity
(2017)The origin and nature of Dark Matter is a question of great importance for cosmology and particle physics. The Standard Model (SM) of Particle Physics cannot provide a viable candidate and while several theoretical models have been proposed, none have been confirmed experimentally. Among these models, a very interesting one is the extension of the Standard Model with a hidden sector. A particular example is the Mirror Sector, which consists ...Doctoral Thesis -

Growth and Bioactive Properties of Native Potatoes under Drought Stress - Development of an Integrated Approach from the Field to the Market
(2017)The aim of this doctorate was to explore the potential contribution to food security of ancient genetic resources of crops, from the field to the market. Special attention was given to the resistance to drought stress, in the context of climate change, and to the production of bioactives potentially useful for human health. This project encompassed a broad diversity of topics, from fundamental sciences to social sciences, and was constructed ...Doctoral Thesis -

Towards Communication in CAAD
(2017)This work deals with computational models in architecture, with the ambition of accomplishing three objectives: 1. To position the established computational models in architecture within the broader context of mathematical and computational modelling. 2. To challenge computational models in architecture by the contemporary modelling approaches, in which computation is regarded from the perspective of communication between different ...Doctoral Thesis -
Transient Phosphorus Species in Combustion
(2017)Studying the chemistry of organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) at high temperature and understanding their mechanisms have gained increasing attention in fields of fuel catalysis and flame inhibition for polymeric materials. Reactive phosphorus species produced at high temperature are kinetically unstable and known to undergo catalytic reactions which benefit the aforementioned applications. Since long characterizing these short-lived ...Doctoral Thesis -

From Mountains to Molecules: Insights into Soil Carbon Dynamics
(2017)Soil organic carbon (SOM) constitutes the largest terrestrial reservoir of organic carbon, and in a time of unprecedented climate change it is crucial to attain a better understanding of the stability and potential vulnerability of this reservoir. However, how soil organic matter dynamics (carbon stocks, turnover and fluxes) vary across different spatial scales is poorly understood. Additionally, most studies have focused on the top soils, ...Doctoral Thesis
