Traditional seismological methods for the study of the Earth structure are based on the information that can be extracted from direct waves emitted by seismic sources such as earthquakes or explosions. Useful information ...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are techniques that have seen a remarkable success and a fast growth over the past decades. Thanks to its non-invasivity and non-descrutivity, the MRI ...

Transition Metal Oxides (TMOs) show a wealth of intriguing properties which are governed by the interplay of charge, spin, and orbital degrees of freedom. Moreover, the comprehension of the features of strongly correlated TMOs ...

In this work, several experiments and analyses performed by means of noise spectroscopy, on a broad typology of materials and compounds, are presented. Structural, DC electrical transport and noise properties are exposed ...

The search for exoplanets is one of the most exciting challenges. From the first exoplanets discovered around the pulsar PSR B1 257+12 back in 1992 until today there are over 5200 exoplanets discovered. And the number will ...

Combinatorial optimization-based methods are widely used to solve complex real life problems. In this thesis, we use some of these methods for addressing several emerging combinatorial opti- mization problems on graphs ...
