Atmospheric water harvesting using nanomaterials
(2024) [Thesis]To explore potential mechanisms for capturing water vapor and enable future Atmospheric Water Harvesting (AWH) devices to obtain fresh water, two approaches were proposed. The first approach, theoretical, involved molecular ... -
Revealing network communities : the surpriser algorithm and its application on metabolic network analysis
(2025) [Thesis]The success of network science to describe many complex systems and their ubiquitous presence has brought the development of new, more efficient, methods of analysis to the spotlight. However, some problems still remain ... -
Use of FoCal to constrain gluon distribution on ALICE
(2023) [Dissertation]The performance of the FoCal, an electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeter intended to be installed in the ALICE Experiment in 2026-2028, is investigated through simulations of J/Ψ production in ultraperipheral collisions. ... -
Study of the interaction between polarizable nanoparticles
(2025) [Thesis]In this thesis, we explore the electrostatic interactions between conducting and nonpolarizable nanoparticles in electrolyte solutions containing monovalent and multivalent counterions. For monovalent electrolytes, we ... -
Efeitos cinéticos na propagação das ondas de Alfvén em um plasma empoeirado espacial
(2025) [Thesis]Utilizamos um modelo derivado da teoria cinética para um plasma empoeirado, magnetizado e homogêneo a fim de realizar uma análise numérica da relação de dispersão linearizada das ondas eletromagnéticas. Os grãos de poeira ... -
Probing wetting properties with self-propelled droplets
(2022) [Dissertation]When a drop of water is placed on a rough surface, several wetting regimes can occur. The droplet may remain in a dry state, with air pockets trapped underneath, or it may enter a wet state, characterized by homogeneous ... -
Large-scale structure in linear and nonlinear regimes : observational constraints on interacting dark energy
(2025) [Dissertation]Understanding the behavior of the matter power spectrum on non-linear scales and resolving tensions in cosmological parameters are crucial in the golden age of observational cosmology, driven by advanced surveys such as ... -
Thermodynamic anomalies in spin-1/2 fermions
(2025) [Thesis]Water is a substance fundamental to life, in part because of some of its properties like the high heat capacity and the negative thermal expansion coefficient for some values of pressure and temperature. More than 70 of ... -
Alimentação e retroalimentação de núcleos ativos de galáxias a partir do survey MaNGA
(2025) [Thesis]Há evidências robustas de que uma fração significativa (≈,10%) das galáxias no Universo abriga buracos negros supermassivos (SMBH, do inglês supermassive black holes) em seus núcleos, que capturam massa via um disco de ... -
Teoria relativística geral de plasmas não colisionais no regime gravitacional linear : uma abordagem cinética invariante de calibre
(2024) [Thesis]Neste trabalho, investigamos as transformações de calibre na teoria da gravitação linearizada. Estabelecemos uma metodologia para o estudo de ondas e oscilações em plasmas relativísticos não colisionais por meio da teoria ...
