There is a need of counting on precise measurements of subjective losses that can be used for predicting the quality of an image. The objective of the present work is to determine these distortion measurements and test the use of…

The main goal of this thesis was to design new parallel processing strategies specially conceived for distributed environments in order to solve numerical and structural problems from the field of process systems engineering more efficiently. More specifically, the numerical sample…

The goal of this Thesis is reducing the global penalty associated to branch mispredictions, in terms of both performance degradation and energy consumption, through the use of confidence estimation. The reduction of this global penalty has been achieved, firstly, by…

This thesis examines the claims of Jeffrey Timm and James Buchanan that the field of Comparative Philosophy is moving in a postmodern direction. I examine their conception of the postmodern and compare to both the most influential views of postmodernism…
