Effects of caloric restriction on brain aging and cognitive decline: Behavioral and biochemical analysis
La restricción calórica (RC), definida como la reducción en la ingesta calórica sin causar desnutrición, ha demostrado ser una buena intervención para ralentizar el envejecimiento y aumentar la esperanza de vida. Sin ...
Effects of climate change on wave climate and consequent coastal impacts : application to the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean Sea)
Climate change is a hot research topic due to the consequent impacts on our environment in the near future. The last report of the International Panel on Climate Change' the leading international body for assessment of ...
Effects of CO2 and long day length on primary productivity in the Arctic Ocean: a perspective on climate change = Efectos del CO2 y largos fotoperiodos en la productividad primaria del Océano Ártico: una perspectiva sobre el cambio climático
Climate change, caused by anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, is producing profound impacts on ecosystems. The Arctic Ocean is one of the most vulnerable regions ...
Effects of cold atmospheric plasmas on biomaterials: hydrogels and composites with calcium phosphates
(English) This PhD thesis is framed in the European Research Council starting grant project "Atmospheric Pressure plasma meets biomaterials far bone Cancer HEaling (APACHE)". The APACHE project is focused on the design of ...
Effects of dam decommissioning on carbon cycling in reservoirs. Case study of the Enobieta Reservoir, N Iberian Peninsula
[eng] The overall objective of this thesis is to explore the effects of DD on C cycling in reservoirs because there are many dams under removal and many more predicted in the near future. To answer this question, we conducted ...
Effects of diesel exhaust particles on allergic and chemical-induced asthma
La contaminació ambiental indueix i exacerba l’asma, encara que els mecanismes immunològics pels quals les partícules dièsel (DEP) modulen l’asma no estan del tot descrits i semblen diferir segons l’endotip asmàtic: tipus ...
Effects of dietary catechins and proanthocyanidins on zinc homeostasis in hepatic cells
Les catequines i els seus polímers, les procianidines, són flavonoids presents en hortalisses<br/>i fruits amb efectes beneficiosos sobre la salut. Actuen com a antioxidants segrestant<br/>espècies reactives d'oxigen (ROS) ...
Effects of dietary polyphenol intake on metabolic syndrome, body composition and obesity-related inflammation
[eng] INTRODUCTION: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clustering of different cardiovascular and cardiometabolic risk factors. In developed countries, MetS prevalence has risen to 20- 25% in the adult population, and its ...
Effects of dispersal and competition with "Avena Sterilis" L. on the spatial structure and dynamics of "Lolium rigidum" Gaudin in dryland cereal fields
This thesis focuses on different spatial issues in relation to the commonest weed species (<i>Avena sterilis</i> L. and <i>Lolium rigidum</i> Gaudin) in dryland cereal crops.<br/>A 3-year detailed study of <i>L. rigidum</i> ...
Effects of drought-induced forest die-off and species replacement on soil CO2 effluxes
L’increment en la freqüència i la intensitat de les sequeres en les últimes dècades s’ha considerat responsable de molts episodis de mortalitat forestal a nivell global, particularment a la regió mediterrània. Els models ...
Effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals on childhood growth and obesity : evidence from the Spanish INMA Birth Cohort Study
Acumulada evidencia en estudios experimentales sugiere que la exposición a contaminantes capaces de interrumpir el sistema endocrino podría alterar las vías moleculares de los procesos de regulación hormonal y epigenética ...
Effects of environmental conditions on phenotypic plasticity of fishes in Iberian waters: life-history, physiological and morphological traits
Phenotypic plasticity is the adaptive response of a genotype to presenting different types of phenotypes in response to environmental changes. These adaptive responses can contribute to a particular species being able to ...
Effects of environmental factors on the gonadal transcriptome of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), juvenile growth and sex ratios
In many gonochoristic fish, sex is plastic since it can be altered by the influence of environmental factors. In this thesis, using the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) model, a teleost fish with a polygenic sex ...
Effects of environmental predictability on life history traits and population dynamics. Insights from a three-year population experiment on the common lizard (Zootoca vivipara)
A central theme in ecology and evolution is to understand whether and how species respond to environmental changes. The amount of studies focusing on how species might cope with climate change has been steeply growing, ...
Effects of environmental variability and perturbations on seabirds' population dynamics = Efectos de la variabilidad ambiental y las perturbaciones en la dinámica de poblaciones de las aves marinas
The overarching aim of my thesis was to assess the role of environmental variability and specially of perturbations in the population dynamics of social vertebrates. Our results emphasize the need to collect individual, ...
Effects of feeding different vegetal fat sources to increase conjugated linoleic acid in milk of small ruminants and interaction with fibrolytic enzymes
El objetivo principal de la presente tesis doctoral fue estudiar la posibilidad de mejorar la calidad nutritiva de la leche de oveja y de cabra, y en particular la concentración de ácido linoleico conjugado (CLA) mediante ...
Effects of Fish Oil and its Combination with Grape Seed Polyphenols or Buckwheat D-Fagomine on Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Oxidative Stress in Rats
En les darreres dècades, les prevalences d’obesitat, de dislipèmia aterogènica i de síndrome metabòlica han augmentat considerablement a nivell mundial. La resistència a la insulina és una característica comuna en aquests ...
Effects of flow control on flow past bluff bodies
The aim of this Ph.D. thesis, "Effects of flow control on flow past bluff bodies" is to study and analyzes the effects of Flow Control on various aspects and proverbs of flow past bluff bodies. Flow control techniques are ...
Effects of flow discontinuities on carbon gas fluxes in a Mediterranean fluvial network = Efecte de les dicontinuitats hidrològiques sobre els fluxes gasosos de carboni en una xarxa fluvial Mediterrània
Inland waters are active components of the global carbon (C) cycle that transform, store and outgas more than half of the C they receive from adjacent terrestrial ecosystems. However, fundamental uncertainties regarding ...
Effects of flow intermittence on dissolved organic matter quality
Water availability is the primary driver of dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES). Therefore, current research manifests the global influence of flow disruption on ...
