description: El contrabando en la frontera entre Bolivia y Chile se ha convertido en un problema persistente que afecta profundamente a la economía, la seguridad y la estabilidad social del país. A pesar de los esfuerzos por parte de las autoridades bolivianas y de diversas políticas implementadas para combatir esta actividad ilegal, los resultados hasta ahora han sido insuficientes. La magnitud del problema requiere no solo medidas inmediatas para contener el contrabando, sino también un enfoque integral que aborde sus causas subyacentes y sus implicaciones a largo plazo. Las autoridades bolivianas y los gobiernos, a través de sus políticas, luchan contra el contrabando con el fin de recaudar impuestos aduaneros y proteger la producción nacional, objetivos que no se han cumplido a cabalidad hasta la fecha. Abordar el contrabando en la frontera entre Chile y Bolivia es esencial para garantizar el desarrollo económico, la justicia social y la seguridad nacional. Este esfuerzo no solo es necesario para preservar la soberanía y seguridad del Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia, sino también para promover un comercio justo, equitativo y libre de actividades ilícitas. En última instancia, esta investigación tiene como finalidad contribuir al desarrollo de políticas públicas que fortalezcan la integridad económica y social del país, mejorando la calidad de vida de sus ciudadanos y garantizando un futuro más seguro y próspero para todos. La implementación de políticas públicas efectivas en esta área es fundamental para garantizar la estabilidad y el desarrollo del país. Además de abordar los desafíos inmediatos del contrabando, estas políticas deben considerar el fortalecimiento de las instituciones, la promoción de la formalización económica y la mejora de las condiciones de vida en las comunidades fronterizas. De esta 2 manera, se podrá construir un entorno más seguro y justo, donde el comercio legal prospere y las actividades ilícitas sean significativamente reducidas. Finalmente, la problemática del contrabando en la frontera entre Bolivia y Chile requiere una atención urgente y un abordaje integral. Esta tesis busca ofrecer una contribución significativa en este sentido, mediante un análisis riguroso y la propuesta de políticas públicas bien fundamentadas y efectivas. Solo a través de un enfoque multidimensional y colaborativo será posible enfrentar y mitigar los efectos del contrabando, promoviendo así un desarrollo sostenible y equitativo en la región fronteriza y en todo el país.

description: Climate change presents a critical challenge to global food security, especially as the global population continues to rise. A major driver of this phenomenon is the accumulation of greenhouse gases, particularly CO₂, which intensifies Earth's warming. Key contributors to elevated CO₂ levels include fossil fuel combustion and agricultural activities. However, agricultural systems have the potential to mitigate this effect by capturing atmospheric CO₂. Notably, few models account for the net CO₂ flux in agricultural systems, which is critical for understanding their true carbon sequestration potential. This study introduces a machine learning-based approach to model CO₂ sequestration and productivity in two forage crops, a variety of maize (Zea mays) and oats (Avena sativa), under diverse environmental conditions. The model leverages critical variables such as degree days, NDVI, and water balance. Using an artificial neural network (ANN), the study achieved robust predictive accuracy for both crops, with determination coefficients (R) of 0.95 for maize and 0.96 for oats, and low mean squared errors (MSE = 0.02). These results highlight the model’s high performance and reliability, offering a valuable tool for predicting carbon sequestration and productivity in forage crops while addressing a key gap in net CO₂ flux modeling.

description: Purpose: Many standardized assessments in speech-language pathology can be administered via telepractice. However, the literature is limited on reporting the equivalency of assessment administration between in-person and remote testing. The SCAN–3 for Adolescents and Adults: Tests for Auditory Processing Disorders (SCAN-3:A) is widely used by speech-language pathologists and audiologists to screen for auditory processing disorder (APD). The purpose of this study was to compare in-person and remote administration results on the screening subtests of the SCAN-3:A to determine test–retest consistency across the two settings.Method: Eleven undergraduate and graduate students with normal hearing were administered the Gap Detection, Competing Words–Free Recall (CW-FR) and Auditory Figure Ground (AFG) screening subtests from the SCAN-3:A both in-person and via telepractice with the order counterbalanced across administrations. Specific modifications were made to accommodate remote assessment.Results: Screening pass/fail decisions were above 80% agreement for each of the three subtests. Significant correlations (p < .05) between in-person and remote scores were found for the CW-FR and AFG subtests. The mean score difference between administration type was not significant for the CW-FR subtest (p = .921) but was significant for the AFG subtest (p < .05).Conclusions: These preliminary findings provide tentative, partial support for remote administration of the SCAN-3:A with adherence to specific recommendations. Some technical challenges were reported as well as other logistical limitations associated with remote administration. Recommendations to accommodate telepractice considerations for remote screening of APD are provided.Supplemental Material S1.

description: The analysis of football passes plays a crucial role in understanding team tactics and improving performance. However, current methods for capturing and analyzing this data are often inaccessible due to high costs and reliance on proprietary datasets. This thesis presents the development of an automated system designed to detect passes in football matches using video as the source of information. The system integrates computer vision and machine learning techniques across mul tiple modules, including player and ball detection, object tracking, team identification, and pass detection. Using a hybrid approach with YOLOv9 for player detection, FasterRCNN for the ball, and Norfair for tracking, the system assigns unique identifiers to players and determines passes based on proximity and ball possession changes. Team identification is achieved through color histogram analysis, allowing the system to distinguish valid passes between players of the same team. The modular design enables independent improvements in each component, providing a flexible framework that can be adapted to different match conditions. This work represents a step forward in automating football pass detection, contributing to the growing field of sports analysis with a scalable and efficient solution.

description: Climate change has forced humanity to develop less harmful alternatives to the environment. Electromobility has then increased in popularity, aiming for humankind's greener and climate-neutral future. Nevertheless, the complete change in the vehicles’ driveline caused different complexities, including tribological problems; therefore, new lubricants should fulfill the requirements needed in the XXI century’s transportation. Moreover, stray currents and induced voltage are inevitable. Hence, new lubricants must have good electric properties that do not hinder their lubricity capability due to these harsher conditions. In addition, conventional lubricants and their additives harm the environment and human health during production, usage, and disposal. A considerable amount of used lubricants end up polluting different ecosystems and potentially affecting biodiversity and health. If the power source of vehicles is becoming greener, so should their components, and the lubricants are not an exception. Bio-based lubricants come from renewable resources, are biodegradable, and are less toxic to the environment and human interaction. Nevertheless, not all bio-lubricants can be considered sustainable since they could give rise to a conflict, economic and ethical, with food production. This research evaluates the performance of two non-edible bio-based lubricants, neat Jatropha curcas, and Micro-algae oils, and used them as additives of Mineral Group II and synthetic PAO 4 oils, respectively, at low volumetric concentrations of 5 and 10%, by characterizing their physicochemical properties and assessing their tribological performance in a four-ball tester, which was modified to run electrified trials to emulate the conditions in which they would operate in an electric vehicle’s powertrain.

description: This thesis examines the risk characteristics, portfolio optimization, and volatility patterns in cryptocurrency markets, providing insights into the distinctive financial dynamics of digital assets. Across its analytical chapters, this research addresses both the challenges and opportunities posed by cryptocurrencies, which are characterized by high volatility and risk factors that are uncommon in traditional markets. Chapter 3 develops a portfolio optimization framework specifically for cryptocurrency investments, showing that strategic asset allocation can enhance risk-adjusted returns despite the pronounced kurtosis and semi-heavy tails typical of cryptocurrency returns. Findings from various portfolio construction techniques highlight the need for diversification strategies that consider the unique risk profile of digital assets. Chapter 4 assesses the effectiveness of Value-at-Risk (VaR) as a risk assessment tool in cryptocurrency markets, comparing VaR models under conditions of extreme market behavior. The results indicate that traditional VaR models may underestimate risk due to the volatility and heavy-tailed return distributions of these markets, underscoring the importance of alternative approaches such as extreme value theory to capture tail risk more accurately. Chapter 5 investigates calendar anomalies, specifically the day-of-the-week effect, analyzing patterns in cryptocurrency returns that may aid strategic decision-making. Observed day-of-the-week effects were found to be sensitive to market conditions and external events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, reinforcing the need for continual assessment of temporal trends. The consolidated analysis in Chapter 6 synthesizes insights from each chapter, outlining the distinctive attributes of cryptocurrencies as an asset class and highlighting implications for both investors and policymakers. Comparisons with traditional assets, limitations of current models, and recommendations for future research are also provided. Overall, this thesis contributes to the academic literature and practical applications by enhancing our understanding of cryptocurrency risk management and guiding more resilient portfolio strategies for this evolving asset class.

description: This thesis explores the development and application of modified biopolymers for sustainable water treatment, focusing on improving the removal of contaminants while aligning with principles of green chemistry. The research aims to develop a novel material to mitigate the environmental effect of conventional water treatment processes by introducing a more environmentally friendly alternative. The chemical modification of Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) involves grafting the biopolymer with Diallyldimethylammonium Chloride (DADMAC) using Ceric Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) as an initiator and microwave irradiation to enhance its coagulation and adsorption capabilities. Characterization techniques, including Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and ThermoGravimetric Analysis (TGA) confirmed the successful grafting and provided insights into the material’s structural and chemical properties. Performance evaluations demonstrated improved removal of the emerging pollutants paracetamol and Red 40 dye, highlighting the potential of MCC-DADMAC as a novel approach in water treatment applications. This research contributes to the ongoing efforts to develop eco-friendly alternatives in water purification, leveraging biopolymers from agro-industrial waste and advancing the field towards more sustainable practices.

description: Reverberation rooms are specialized acoustic enclosures designed to achieve a diffuse sound field, allowing for a variety of acoustic measurements, the most prominent being random-incidence sound absorption coefficients of materials. To achieve this condition, very specific factors, such as highly reflective walls, large volumes, and substantial material samples, are required. However, financial constraints, material availability, or space limitations may compel small institutions to adopt alternative solutions, such as normal-incidence techniques using impedance tubes or free-field methods. Although these methods may require smaller samples and less investment or space, the idealized conditions they rely on may lead to disparities compared to the results obtained under random-incidence conditions. Scale modeling presents an attractive midpoint between both alternatives, offering the potential to provide the same versatility and reliability as a full-sized reverberation room while requiring significantly less investment, material, and space. This work aims to develop a methodology for performing random-incidence sound absorption coefficient measurements in a 1:6 scale model of the reverberation room of the Grupo de Ac´ustica Aplicada y Vibraciones of the Instituto de Ciencias Aplicadas y Tecnolog´ıa at the Universidad Nacional Aut´onoma de M´exico according to current standards. The theory of similarity is employed to establish scaling relationships between the full-sized and scale model enclosures, ensuring the preservation of key physical characteristics. The results of this work have potential applications across fields such as metamaterials, architectural acoustics, and thermoacoustics.

description: This dissertation presents two novel approaches for real-time implementation of robust Model Predictive Control (MPC) for fast complex nonlinear systems. These approaches use a linearization step of the model of the system by two different strategies depending on the nature of the nonlinear system. Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) modeling and Differential Flatness representation are the strategies chosen to develop the Model Predictive Controller. LPV modeling consists of the embedding of the nonlinear terms of the system into a series of scheduling parameters. Therefore, the Model Predictive Control is designed using a linear model being a function of the scheduling parameter to predict the behavior of the states of the system along the prediction horizon. The future values of the scheduling parameters are estimated using a recursive least squares algorithm. Both stability and robustness conditions are ensured using Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI) constraints included in the optimization problem of the MPC. Finally, terminal ellipsoidal sets are introduced in the cost function to improve the performance of the controller. On the other hand, Differential Flatness representation is used to build a linear MPC to exploit the flatness property of some nonlinear systems. In this approach, the nonlinear model is solved as a function of the flat outputs of the system and its derivatives. Thus, a linear optimization problem is solved to predict the future behavior of the flat output and its derivatives as a function of an auxiliary control variable. Afterward, a feedforward controller is designed to define the optimal control action to be inputted into the system as a function of the auxiliary control variable. Finally, the performance of both control strategies is tested with several simulations of complex nonlinear systems using the Matlab-Simulink environment

description: Background: Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a worldwide frequent cause of medical evaluation. It iscommon in the young, female and active population affecting one in four individuals. It is considered a multifactorial disease in which the management must focus on the alterations found in the physical exam and radiologic images. The effect of muscle strength in the lower extremities after aerobic activity in patients with this condition has yet to be detailed. To determine if patients with PFP show alterations in lower extremity, muscle strength measurements after performing a session of ten minutes of aerobic activity on a treadmill compared to people without patellofemoral pain were performed. Materials and Methods: Prospective experimental study with a stratified, non-randomized, and non-blinded population sample with group matching, including an experimental group with PFP and a control group with no pain. Subjects completed self-reported functional questionnaires (IKDC, Kujala, KOOS, SF-12), underwent radiographic studies, and were evaluated by measuring the strength of hip and knee muscles and the Single-Leg Triple-Hop (SLTH) test before and after ten minutes of exercise on a treadmill. Results: Seventeen subjects diagnosed with PFP, and seventeen control subjects were evaluated. Both groups were homogeneous and had no significant differences in the demographic variables. A wider sulcus angle at 30° (136.8 ± 3.8° vs 132.5 ± 5.6°, p = 0.0140), a decrease strength post-exercise in the hip abductor (37.9 ± 7.1 N⋅m vs 45.6 ± 7.7 N⋅m, p <0.05) and knee extensor (36.0 ± 9.1 N⋅m vs 47.7 ± 14.0 N⋅m, p <0.05), and a shorter distance in the SLTH test (337.9 ± 74.9 cm vs 438.6 ± 65.8 cm, p <0.01) was recorded in subjects with patellofemoral pain. Conclusion: Subjects with PFP had an overall lower strength of hip and knee muscles, showing significant differences in the hip abductors and knee extensors between people with PFP and healthy matched controls after aerobic exercise.

description: This study was made with the purpose of understanding the impact of the objective functionand optimization methods on the Next Best View problem, which consists in finding the next position that the sensor or camera needs to take to scan an object or scenery in its totality. A simulated 5-Degree-of-Freedom mobile robot with a mounted simulated range sensor was used on a Virtual Reality Modeling Language environment, and the space discretization was made using a voxel map. For the objective function, two main factors were included: an area factor to make sure that the image taken by the sensor provides the best possible information, and a motion factor made up of distance and energy sub-factors to reduce the resources used by the robot, making multiple experiments on a laboratory scene to determine their best arrangement on the final objective function. Global optimization tasks such as a backstepping technique to escape local minima and a dynamic change in the objective function were implemented. The retrievement of the scene was made on an iterative process, with each iteration needing an optimization process for which three different methods were tested: Nelder-Mead, an Evolution Strategy, and Simulated Annealing. A set of experiments comparing the three methods in computational time and retrievement efficiency were made on three different environments with increasing difficulty to test their repeatability, with them being a laboratory model, a room with a cube and a pyramid inside it, and a study room with multiple furniture and windows.

description: A critical decision in humanitarian logistics pre-disaster planning is the sufficient pre-establishment of relief supplies to provide efficient and quick operations in the aftermath of the event. This thesis identifies some of the challenges faced by food banks from an operations management perspective. To support managers making such decisions, we propose four mathematical formulations that seek to optimize food prepositioning (before the event) and further distribution (after the event) in order to minimize unmet demand (MUD). These formulations will first be analyzed under the assumption of uncertainty in demand, finally comparing results considering uncertainty in supply. The two first formulations adopt the cardinality-constrained (CC) approach to handle uncertainty. These formulations differ in their objective functions, the first formulation’s objective seeks to MUD, whilst the second incorporates equity in the way that demand is satisfied. The two remaining formulations are scenario-based (SB), and as in the previous two formulations, seek to MUD with and without equity considerations, respectively. The formulations are applied to a case study where a food bank faces the arrival of a hurricane in Mexico. For the formulations with uncertainty in demand, we compare the differences between the solutions produced by the proposed formulations and the solutions that would have been produced without uncertainty (perfect information) to have a better understanding of their performance and their behavior. A discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of each model is provided to help managers choose the model that best suits their needs. For the formulations with uncertainty in supply, a series of experiments was done to compare results and further conclusions. Our results demonstrate that the CC approach has an acceptable behavior for every situation, while the SB approach can have exceptional outcomes when the predicted scenarios are good, but worst solutions otherwise, making this approach dependent of the capability of predicting good scenarios.

description: This project focuses on developing and evaluating a novel orthopedic implantprototype, which combines magnesium-calcium and nitinol through a micro laser welding process. The primary objective is to create a biocompatible, biodegradable scaffold for orthopedic applications, offering an alternative to traditional implants. A series of welding experiments were conducted using a PRECO laser welding machine, where different welding parameters, including laser power and exposure time, were tested to optimize the microhardness and mechanical properties of the welds. The simulation and experimental results were compared to validate the design choices and ensure the scaffold's structural integrity. The microhardness tests indicated that the best results were achieved with 200 watts of power and 18 ms exposure time, creating a prototype scaffold for further testing. Future work includes optimizing scaffold designs and conducting compression and degradation tests to evaluate the implant's mechanical performance and corrosion resistance in physiological conditions. This project aims to contribute to developing advanced, sustainable orthopedic implants with improved performance and biocompatibility.

description: The global challenge of plastic pollution has driven the search for biodegradable and sustainable materials. This thesis explores the development of chitosan (CH) films, synthesized using a green chemical approach that employs lemon juice and lemon peel extract as natural alternatives to synthetic acids. The incorporation of nanoparticles, explicitly zinc ferrite (ZnFe₂O₄ NPs) and nickel zinc ferrite (NiZnFe₂O₄NPs), further manipulate the functional properties of the films, making them suitable for diverse applications. The ZnFe₂O₄ NPs, synthesized using lemon peel extract, presented a crystalline size of 16 nm and significantly improved the mechanical (TS) and barrier properties of 1.5% CH films. The TS of the films increased from 0.641 MPa for bare CH to 0.835 MPa with 2% ZnFe₂O₄ NPs, while puncture strength improved by 2.7 times. The water vapor permeability (WVP) decreased by 28%, establishing enhanced barrier properties. Conversely, NiZnFe₂O₄ NPs (crystalline size 29 nm), enhanced 2% CH film flexibility, achieving a 36.83% elongation at break with 2% NP reinforcement. These films also exhibited enhanced resistance to moisture, making them suitable for applications that require better barrier properties. Morphological testing, including SEM and AFM, revealed that NPs incorporation altered the surface texture of the films, increasing roughness uniformly with NP concentration. FTIR spectra confirmed successful NPs’ integration, with characteristic metal-oxygen bond vibrations appearing at specific wavenumbers. Optical properties showed minimal color changes after NPs addition, with both ZnFe₂O₄ and NiZnFe₂O₄ films maintaining suitable transparency for practical applications. This thesis highlights the potential of green-synthesized CH films as eco-friendly substitutes for conventional plastics. ZnFe₂O₄ films demonstrated superior mechanical strength and barrier properties, while NiZnFe₂O₄ films provided improved flexibility and moisture resistance. The integration of green chemistry with nanotechnology establishes a sustainable pathway for the development of highperformance polymeric materials, addressing pressing environmental and industrial needs.
