Understanding the regulation of leaf and plant gas Exchange under water stress with a process-based model of stomatal conductance
Water availability is one of the biggest constraints limiting the plant growth and species distribution around the world. This is the case in the Mediterranean region where, moreover, the frequency and amount of rainfall ...
Understanding the role of body weight and composition on lung function growth and decline
Background: There is evidence suggesting that body weight is associated with lung function, but results are contradictory and suffer from important limitations. We aimed to assess the association of body weight and composition ...
Understanding the role of iron homeostasis in rice immunity and novel applications of miRNAs for crop protection
Les plantes s’enfronten constantment a una àmplia gamma d’estressos ambientals que provoquen importants pèrdues en els cultius. Aquests estressos es classifiquen, segons la seva naturalesa, en estressos biòtics o abiòtics. ...
Understanding the role of polyglutamylation in the mitotic spindle
To ensure faithful segregation of the genetic material, cells build the mitotic spindle, a machinery made of dynamic microtubules (MTs) and MT associated proteins (MAPs). Chromosome bi-orientation is achieved through the ...
Understanding the role of sensor diversity and redundancy to encode for chemical information in gas sensor arrays
Electronic noses (e-noses) have been utilized during the past three decades as general purpose instruments for chemical sensing. These instruments are inspired by natural olfactory systems, where fine odour discrimination ...
Understanding the role of Toll-like receptors in the lower gastrointestinal tract
La mucosa del tracte gastrointestinal (TGI) constitueix la superfície de contacte més àmplia de l’organisme amb el medi extern. A la llum del TGI, la barrera epitelial permet la separació entre els bilions de microorganismes ...
Understanding the social brain : neurocogntive effetcs of experiencing a social hierarchy
The present research is aimed at analyzing how human’s brain jointly computes cognitive and social interactions in presence of implicit social stimuli and/or in presence of socially neutral stimuli. First we analyzed the ...
Understanding the temperature and pressure dependence of the optoelectronic and structural properties of FAxMA1-xPbI3 perovskite solid solutions
Les perovskita orgàniques/inorgàniques híbrides han atret molta atenció des que es van introduir per primera vegada en un dispositiu fotovoltaic fa deu anys, obtenint una eficiència de el 3%. Des de llavors, l’eficiència ...
Understanding the transcriptional landscape of non-coding genome in mammals
Widespread transcription in mammals revealed unexpected discovery of non-coding elements like long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and repetitive elements. First, lncRNAs were previously identified in limited number of tissues ...
Understanding the transport mechanism of BBB peptide shuttles: THRre and MiniAp-4 as case studies
The research work presented in this thesis aims to understand the transport mechanism of two described BBB-shuttles, THRre and MiniAp-4. To achieve these objectives, different techniques have been used as solid phase peptide ...
Understanding the urban development and the evolution of the Ecosystems of Innovation
Aquesta tesi doctoral és un compendi de publicacions en el camp dels Ecosistemes d’Innovació. Aquests articles es basen en els marcs conceptuals del model de la Triple Helix, el paradigma del Knowledge Based Urban Development, ...
Understanding Waste Flows. An industrial ecology approach to the generation of waste, its flows and the connection it has with economic shifts. A case study of the Maltese Islands.
La generació de residus no és un fenomen contemporani. Els grans volums, la varietat i la complexitat que han esdevingut un repte aparentment omnipresent i infranquejable per a la societat moderna. Els residus, de fet, ...
Understanding, Evaluating and Selecting Voting Rules Through Games and Axioms
La tesis de doctorado "Understanding, Evaluating and Selecting Voting Rules Through Games and Axioms" de Danilo Santa Cruz Coelho está compuesta de cuatro capítulos. La introducción es el primero y describe brevemente el ...
Underwater 3d sensing using structured light: development of an underwater laser scanner and a non-rigid point cloud registration method
Accurate underwater 3D perception is essential to advance towards the automation of expensive, dangerous and/or time-consuming tasks, such as the inspection, maintenance and repair of off-shore industrial sites. Accurate ...
Underwater image-based 3D reconstruction with quality estimation
This thesis addresses the development of resources for accurate scaling and uncertainty estimation of image-based 3D models for scientific purposes based on data acquired with monocular or unsynchronized camera systems in ...
Underwater navigation and mapping with an omnidirecional optical sensor
Omnidirectional vision has received increasing interest during the last decade from the computer vision community. However, the use of omnidirectional cameras underwater is still very limited. In this thesis we propose ...
Underwater slam for estructured environments using and imaging sonar
Aquesta tesi tracta sobre el problema de la navegació per a vehicles submarins autònoms que operen en entorns artificials estructurats com ara ports, canals, plataformes marines i altres escenaris similars. A partir ...
Une approche spatio-temporelle de la dépendance à la mobilité dans les métropoles de Barcelone et d’Aix-Marseille-Provence
Aquesta tesi intenta explicar la paradoxa entre el fet que la mobilitat espacial sigui un recurs, especialment per a l’accés a l’ocupació o a l’habitatge i que, alhora, les pràctiques de mobilitat generin importants costos ...
Une flûte en cristal. Les flautes de vidre de Claude Laurent (1774-1849)
Claude Laurent (1774-1849), un rellotger de París avesat als treballs de precisió va idear i construir un dels instruments més captivadors de l’Europa del segle XIX: una flauta de vidre i argent que, a més de la seva ...
