Usefulness of in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy and automated videomosaics in the treatment and management of skin cancers = Ús de la microscòpia confocal de reflectància in vivo i dels videomosaics automatitzats en el tractament i seguiment dels càncers cutanis
Skin cancer is major health problem due to its increased incidence in the last decades. Standard treatment of skin cancer is still surgery, which can be challenging to perform since most skin cancers are located in visible ...
Usefulness of molecular methods for detecting drug resistance and genotyping in mycobacterium tuberculosis
La tuberculosis (TB) es una de las principales enfermedades infecciosas a nivel mundial, y la aparición y propagación de cepas de Mycobacterium tuberculosis, el agente causante, resistentes a distintos fármacos es una ...
User behavior in microblogs with a cultural emphasis
The main objective of this thesis is to carry out a multidisciplinary study of the behavior of microblog users. To that end we first explore several user behavior patterns employing data mining techniques. Then we use ...
User experience methodology for the design and evaluation of interactive systems
L’avaluació heurística és una de les metodologies d’avaluació de la usabilitat més barates i utilitzades. Tot i així, algunes de les fases de la metodologia poden ser semi-automatitzades per tal de disminuir encara més ...
User involvement in FTTH deployments as a key to success
Les connexions de banda ampla estan esdevinguent un servei essencial per a qualsevol llar. Estar connectat a més de 100Mbps, a 1Gbps, o a 10Gbps, és més un problema econòmic que no pas un de tecnològic. Aquesta Tesi té com ...
Using an ontology for guiding natural language interaction with knowledge based systems
Des dels anys 80, els sistemes basats en el coneixement, programes que utilitzen una gran quantitat de informació per modelar situacions i resoldre problemes, han adquirit gran importància en el camp industrial, financer ...
Using annotated discourse information of a RST Spanish-Chinese treebank for translation and language learning tasks
As one of the essential elements for Natural Language Processing (NLP), discourse has called much attention during recent years. Many studies explore the role of how discourse elements affect in different NLP research ...
Using deep mutagenesis to understand genetic and physical interactions
The first aim of this thesis was to tackle a core question in biology—to understand how large numbers of mutations combine together to influence phenotypes. In order to do so, we built a combinatorially-complete library ...
Using EEG-based BCI settings and brain-state dependent stimulation as research tools for hypothesis-testing in cognitive neuroscience: a test-bench for brain-behavioural
Spontaneous oscillations in the alpha band (α, 8–12 Hz) reflect ongoing fluctuations in cortical excitability. Several theoretical frameworks and empirical studies have supported the notion that distinct features of ...
Using Flipped Learning to Teach English as an Additional Language in Higher Education: A case study
Aquesta tesi investiga com la Classe Invertida (CI) pot utilitzar-se amb exit per ensenyar angles com a !lengua addicional (ALA) a la universitat. Tot i que estudis recents sobre la CI han investigat la seva eficacia pel ...
Using genomewide polymorphisms to explore demography and feralization in the pig species
Las nuevas tecnologías de ultrasecuenciación (NGS) han alterado espectacularmente la investigación en la genómica de las especies domesticas, entre ellas la del cerdo. Usando datos de genómica es posible, por ejemplo, ...
Using information and communication technology to reduce sitting and increase physical activity in office workers
Passar-se moltes hores assegut i moure’s poc està associat al desenvolupament de malalties cròniques. Els llocs de treball d'oficina han estat considerats entorns clau per reduir aquests comportaments sedentaris amb ...
Using natural language processing for question answering in closed and open domains
With regard to the growth in the amount of social, environmental, and biomedical information available digitally, there is a growing need for Question Answering (QA) systems that can empower users to master this new wealth ...
Using pacient-specific IPSC derived dopaminergic to investigate Parkinson's disease: a new prospective in stem cell research and application = Utilització de neurones dopaminèrgiques específiques de pacients derivades de cèl·lules pluripotents induïdes (IPSC) en la investigació de la malaltia de Parkinson: una nova perspectiva en la investigació amb cèl·lules mare i les seves aplicacions
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an incurable neurodegenerative disorder, mainly characterized by a progressive loss of midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons, located in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), and frequently ...
Using patient reported outcomes (PROs) to improve recognition of common mental disorders in primary care
The main objective of this thesis was to generate evidence on the recognition of common mental disorders (mood and anxiety disorders) in non-specialized healthcare settings and to explore solutions for its improvement. We ...
Using peer specialists to reserve dropout from prolonged exposure therapy delivered in person or via telehealth for combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder
