From molecular to tissue-specific roles of Fascin during Drosophila tracheal development: A link between the FGF signalling pathway and the actin-cytoskeleton
How a chemoattractant can act on a tissue to induce its migration towards that source? I have tried to answer this question in this research using as migratory tissue model the Drosophila respiratory organ (trachea) during ...
From mononuclear to dinuclear : magnetic properties of transition metals complexes
En les darreres dècades, el món de la tecnologia i el desenvolupament de nous aparells electrònics s'han convertit en vitals per la nostra societat. Considerant la creixent demanda per la interpretació de resultats ...
From music similarity to music recommendation : computational approaches based on audio features and metadata
Aquest treball es centra en el modelatge d'usuari per la recomanació musical i desenvolupa algoritmes per la comprensió automàtica i visualització de preferències musicals. Primer, es proposa un model d'usuari construït a ...
From nanoparticles to graphene: architecting novel (bio)sensing platforms and devices
La tesis presentada y titulada “De las nanopartículas al grafeno: arquitectando novedosas plataformas y dispositivos para biosensores” presenta el desarrollo de varios biosensores basados en el uso de nanoparticulas y ...
From national catholicism to democratic patriotism?: An empirical analysis of contemporany Spanish national identity
El nacionalcatolicisme franquista, ha sigut substituït per un patriotisme democràtic espanyol? Aquesta tesi explora, mitjançant l'anàlisi del cas espanyol, com els estats establerts promouen i dónen forma a la identitat ...
From networks to population-specific adaptations : studying positive selection in humans
The evolution of the genome is driven, among other factors, by the composition of the genome, the functional output of the gene products, and by environmental pressures. Among the environmental factors, pathogens are one ...
From parrurition to pregnancy. A clinical perspective in the dairy cow
La vaca lletera d’alta producció actual pateix un estrés metabòlic ques’uneix a altres tipus d’estrés com el del part i de la gestació. Malgratles millores en nutrició i genètica, la eficàcia reproductiva d’aquestsanimals ...
From phage display and venoms to protease-resistant peptides: Design of BBB-shuttles and peptides targeting EGF
Peptides play a critical role in human physiology and harbour a huge potential as therapeutic agents. In this thesis, new peptides have been discovered as ligands for the epidermal growth factor (EGF) and as new BBB-shuttles, ...
From pixels to gestures: learning visual representations for human analysis in color and depth data sequences
The visual analysis of humans from images is an important topic of interest due to its relevance to many computer vision applications like pedestrian detection, monitoring and surveillance, human-computer interaction, ...
From pixels to particles: multi-physics meshless model of the heart
The functioning of the heart, which main role is pumping blood to the rest of the body, is the result of a complex combination of multi-scale physical processes from the molecular to the tissue level. The predominance of ...
From populations to species : Unravelling the unknowns of ageing with two complementary approaches
Ageing is a very complex phenotype that has been widely studied, but is still largely unknown. Most of the studies focus on a single species, or on performing genome wide association studies in human cohorts, but this only ...
From preconcentration to rapid detection of exosomes as biomarkers in clinical diagnosis
En l’actualitat, existeix demanda de biomarcadors per poder millorar la detecció de malalties en una etapa inicial, el seguiment de pacients i dissenyar estratègies terapèutiques. Els exosomes són partícules biològiques ...
From quantum foundations to quantum information protocols and back
Physics has two main ambitions: to predict and to understand. Indeed, physics aims for the prediction of all natural phenomena. Prediction entails modeling the correlation between an action, the input, and what is subsequently ...
From quantum memories to single-site addressing with three-level atoms
El camp de la informació quàntica, que sorgeix de la combinació entre la teoria de la informació i la física quàntica, ha experimentat un enorme progrés durant les darreres dècades, donant lloc a avenços revolucionaris en ...
From Quantum Source Compression to Quantum Thermodynamics
Aquesta tesi aborda problemes en el camp de la teoria de la informació quàntica, específicament, la teoria quàntica de Shannon. La primera part de la tesi comença amb definicions concretes de models de fonts quàntiques ...
From rice fields to seabirds: an integrative approach to study mercury dynamics in the Ebro Delta
Mercury pollution is of great concern for the scientific community due to their ubiquity and persistence in the environment. Its bioaccumulation and biomagnification capacities along food webs enhance their toxicity both ...
From RNA to histological images: linking the transcriptome with human phenotypes through statistical learning
Genomic datasets are fundamental to broaden our understanding of human biology in the context of health and disease. However, the high-dimensional nature of gene expression and other molecular traits poses a challenge when ...
From Romanesque to Gothic: A compositional, morphological and formal study of medieval cultural heritage objects
[eng] The present PhD thesis is focused on the study of the compositional, morphological and formal characteristics of medieval cultural heritage objects, and more specifically manuscripts and champlevé enamels of Limoges, ...
From sequence to structure: determinants of functional and non-functional. Protein aggregation
