New proposals to solve them arise, currently the world of data analysis is starting in Peru, there are not many open datasets useful that allow proposing solutions in each environment. In this paper, we will collect relevant data of the transport located in a province of Peru with more than 1000 users involved, restricted by a delimited geographic area and with 2 years of operations and more than 3000 transport services tracked. In this way, we highlight the importance of the data, the possible potential uses within the transport, and a case of use of the collected dataset. / Revisión por pares

In this dissertation I have argued that the study of stars and gaseous planets has relied too heavily on simplifying assumptions. In particular, I have demonstrated that the assumptions of spherical symmetry, thermal equilibrium, dynamical equilibrium and turbulent anisotropy all hide interesting phenomena which make a true difference to the structure and evolution of these bodies. To begin I developed new theoretical tools for probing these phenomena, starting with a new model of turbulent motion which accounts for many different sources of anisotropy. Building on this I studied rotating convection zones and determined scaling relations for the magnitude of differential rotation. In slowly-rotating systems the differential rotation is characterised by a power law with exponent of order unity, while in rapidly-rotating systems this exponent is strongly suppressed by the rotation. This provides a full characterisation of the magnitude of differential rotation in gaseous convection zones, and is in reasonable agreement with a wide array of simulations and observations. I then focused on the convection zones of rotating massive stars and found them to exhibit significantly anisotropic heat fluxes. This results in significant deviations from spherical symmetry and ultimately in qualitatively enhanced circulation currents in their envelopes. Accordingly, these stars ought to live much longer and have a different surface temperature. This potentially resolves several outstanding questions such as the anomalously slow evolution of stars on the giant branch, the dispersion in the observed properties of giant stars and the difficulty stellar modelling has to form massive binary black holes. In the same vein I examined the convection zones of bloated hot Jupiters and discovered a novel feedback mechanism between non-equilibrium tidal dissipation and the thermal structure of their upper envelopes. This mechanism stabilises shallow radiative zones against the convective instability, which would otherwise take over early on in the planet's formation as it proceeds to thermal equilibrium. Hence tidal dissipation is dramatically enhanced, which serves to inject significant quantities of heat into the upper layers of the planet and causes it to inflate. This mechanism can explain most of the observed population of inflated planets. Finally, I studied material mixing in the outer layers of accreting stars and developed a method for relating the observed surface chemistry to the bulk and accreting chemistries. This enables the direct inference of properties of circumstellar material and accretion rates for a wide variety of systems.

Pasaulio ekonomikos augimas, spartėjantis globalizacijos procesas, technologijų pažanga didina atstumus tarp žaliavų gavimo, gamybos ir pagamintų prekių naudojimo taškų. Gausėjant prekybinių ryšių bei plečiantis jų geografijai, didėja reikalavimai transporto ir logistikos paslaugas teikiančiam sektoriui. Regionų ekonominis augimas priklauso nuo to, kaip transporto sistema geba patenkinti žaliavų tiekėjų, gamintojų, prekybininkų ir vartotojų logistikos poreikius laiko, greičio, saugumo, sąnaudų prasmėmis. Transporto srautai ilgainiui prisitaiko prie kintamų regiono logistikos poreikių, tačiau dėl transporto sistemos inertiškumo tam sugaištama laiko. Lietuvoje reikšminga dalis bendrojo nacionalinio produkto sukuriama transporto ir logistikos sektoriuje, kadangi šalis yra stambių tranzitinių krovinių srautų kryžkelėje. Lietuvai tapus Europos Sąjungos nare, atsiveria tarptautinės prekybos augimo galimybes, Lietuva tampa Europos Sąjungos buferine zona prekybai su Rytų bloko šalimis, taigi teisinga Lietuvos transporto sistemos plėtros strategija gali suteikti Lietuvai didžiulį ekonominį potencialą, bendrojo vidaus produkto ir darbo vietų skaičiaus augimo perspektyvas. Transporto srautams užtikrinti būtina transporto infrastruktūra, kurios plėtrai yra labai svarbu nustatyti potencialius krovinių srautus. Transporto infrastruktūra labai imli kapitalui, todėl jos plėtros kryptys turi tiksliai atitikti logistikos poreikius, priešingu atveju milžiniškos investicijos nepateisinamos...

Thesis advisor: David Broido / We present fundamental studies of phonon and electron transport in semiconductors. First principles density functional theory (DFT) is combined with exact numerical solutions of the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE) for phonons and electrons to calculate various transport coefficients. The approach is used to determine the lattice thermal conductivity of three hexagonal polytypes of silicon carbide. The calculated results show excellent agreement with recent experiments. Next, using the infinite orders T-matrix approach, we calculate the effect of various neutral and charged substitution defects on the thermal conductivity of boron arsenide. Finally, we present a general coupled electron-phonon BTEs scheme designed to capture the mutual drag of the two interacting systems. By combining first principles calculations of anharmonic phonon interactions with phenomenological models of electron-phonon interactions, we apply our implementation of the coupled BTEs to calculate the thermal conductivity, mobility, Seebeck and Peltier coefficients of n-doped gallium arsenide. The measured low temperature enhancement in the Seebeck coefficient is captured using the solution of the fully coupled electron-phonon BTEs, while the uncoupled electron BTE fails to do so. This work gives insights into the fundamental nature of charge and heat transport in semiconductors and advances predictive ab initio computational approaches. We discuss possible extensions of our work. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2019. / Submitted to: Boston College. Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. / Discipline: Physics.
