On contractile actomyosin waves and their role in junctional remodeling during epithelial constriction
Epithelial tissues undergo extensive remodeling during embryonic development. Recent studies have revealed that, in a number of developmental processes, epithelial remodeling is associated with pulsations of individual ...
On cross-shore beach profile morphodynamics
The nearshore zone is plenty of 3D morphodynamic patterns resulting from the interaction of waves, currents and sediments. The dynamics of formation and evolution of these patterns is at present a controversial point in ...
On data-driven models for image restoration
Restoration of a high-quality image from a degraded recording is an important problem in early vision processing. In this thesis, we tackle three image restoration problems: image inpainting, colorization, and motion ...
On distributing the analysis process of a broad-coverage unification-based grammar of spanish
This thesis describes research into the development and deployment of engineered large-scale unification-based grammar to provide more robust and efficient deep grammatical analysis of linguistic expressions in real-world ...

On estimate aggregation : studies of how decision makers aggregate quantitative estimates in three different cases
This dissertation examines how people aggregate quantitative advices to reach their own estimates. Each chapter explores a different situation that could affect how advices are evaluated, and consequentially how advices ...
On Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker cosmologies in non-standard gravity
[spa] El proyecto de tesis está enfocado en el estudio de la evolución del Universo y más concretamente en la explicación del mecanismo que produce su actual expansión acelerada, y que probablemente sea el mismo que ha ...
On geometric quantisation of integrable systems with singularities
This thesis shows an approach to geometric quantisation of integrable systems. It extends some results by Guillemin, Kostant, Rawnsley, Sniatycki and Sternberg in geometric quantisation, considering regular fibrations as ...
On Higher Arithmetic Intersection Theory
The results of this thesis contribute to the program of developing a higher arithmetic intersection theory. These results constitute chapters 3 and 5. Chapters 2 and 4 consist of the preliminary results needed for chapters ...
On how learning mechanisms shape natural languages
L’objectiu d’aquesta tesi és argumentar, teòricament i empíricament, que els mecanismes encarregats de l’adquisició del llenguatge defineixen patrons lingüístics tant sincrònics com diacrònics de les llengües naturals. ...
