Study of ice content and hydro-mechanical behaviour of frozen soils
The hydro-mechanical behaviour of soils during freezing and thawing is a coupled multi-physics process that has important practical applications. To cite but a few examples, on artificial ground freezing –to provide ...
Study of immune population infiltrated in white adipose tissue: Novel target genes in obesity and metabolic diseases
[eng] Obesity is a chronic condition, with a multifactorial etiology whose incidence has tripled in the last four decades. This condition is associated with a low-grade inflammation caused by an activation of the proinflammatory ...
Study of impulsivity dimension in Borderline Personality Disorder: The influence of impulsiveness, impulsivity-related traits and childhood sexual abuse to suicidal behaviour
Este trabajo de tesis doctoral incluye dos estudios transversales que examinan una serie de variables relacionadas con la gravedad del Trastorno Límite de la Personalidad (TLP). El objetivo del primer estudio consistió en ...
Study of innate immunity-related proteins for the treatment of bovine infectious diseases
Les malalties infeccioses (MIs) són un repte global que afecta tant a la salut humana com a la salut animal, especialment aquelles causades per microorganismes resistents als antibiòtics. En el cas concret de la indústria ...
A Study of intercultural adaptation and the development of intercultural sensitivity of Catalan/Spanish university students during study abroad
The present dissertation investigates the impact of university study abroad (SA) programmes on intercultural adaptation and intercultural sensitivity of bilingual students from a multilingual and multicultural background. ...
Study of interfacial water at the nanoscale at ambient conditions with SPM
La tesi que es presenta es veu emmarcada dins l’àrea de ciència de superfícies. Dos dels grans temes desenvolupats en aquesta tesi estan relacionats amb l’estudi de superfícies amb constants de xarxa (distàncies atòmiques ...
A Study of intrinsically disordered proteins using molecular dynamics simulations
Over the last decades molecular dynamics simulations have been successfully applied to relevant biological problems such as protein-ligand, protein-protein binding as well as protein folding. A perfect challenge for molecular ...
Study of invariant manifolds in two different problems : the Hopf-zero singularity and neural synchrony
The main object of study of this thesis are invariant manifolds in the field of dynamical systems. We deal with two different and independent topics, namely, the study of exponentially small splitting of invariant manifolds ...
Study of Jet Fires Geometry and Radiative Features
Entre els accidents greus que poden ocórrer a les instal·lacions industrials o durant el transport de substàncies perilloses, els dolls de foc presenten un especial interès. Tot i que tenen una distància relativament més ...
Study of longitudinal neurodegeneration biomarkers to support the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a progressive and neurodegenerative disorder characterized by pathological brain changes starting several years before clinical symptoms appear. Earlier and accurate identification of those brain ...
Study of lung asbestos content in a Spanish population
Las motivaciones para iniciar el desarrollo de esta tesis se basaron en un estudio previo, con pocos pacientes, que exponía que los individuos residentes en la ciudad de Barcelona presentan un determinado depósito pulmonar ...
Study of Malassezia species from the skin of dogs and rabbits using routine and advanced molecular methods
Els llevats del gènere Malassezia formen part de la microbiota normal de la pell d’una gran varietat d’animals homeoterms. El gènere està format per 18 espècies que s’han aïllat d’animals domèstics, salvatges i d’humans. ...
Study of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) nanoparticles and their potential to optimize the cow dry period
Hi ha un pla d’acció mundial, sota el lema One Health, fent un clam urgent a minimitzar l’ús d’antibiòtics a tots els nivells –humà, animal i ambiental– en una batalla conjunta contra la crisi associada a la resistència ...
Study of methods for the improvement of the anaerobic digestion of lipids and long chain fatty acids
Anaerobic digestion is a biochemical process that transforms diverse categories of biomass feedstock to renewable energy, in the form of methane, and contributes to resources conservation and greenhouse gases emission ...
Study of microplastics role in seawater based on collected samples across the oceans during the Barcelona World Race 2015
Els microplàstics s’han convertit en un gran problema mediambiental. La sobreproducció i l’ús excessiu del plàstic ha dificultat el seu correcte tractament y això provoca que sigui el sector amb un major creixement en la ...
Study of mitochondrial dysfunction mechanisms in Huntington's disease striatal degeneration
Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal-dominant inherited neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by progressive behavioral, motor and cognitive deficits (HDCRG, 1993; Ross & Margolis, 2001). The predominant ...
Study of molecular causes underlying Williams-Beuren syndrome phenotype through the development of novel therapeutic approaches
Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a heterozygous deletion of ~1.5 Mb in chromosome region 7q11.23. The use of murine models of the disease has helped to broaden the knowledge ...
Study of molecular determinants involved in the Classical swine fever virus attenuation and the persistence in the host
La pesta porcina clàssica (PPC) és una de les malalties més importants que afecta la indústria porcina. El seu agent etiològic, el virus de la PPC (VPPC), segueix essent prevalent a diverses zones del món, sobretot les ...
Study of molecular mechanisms implicated in the TGF-beta oncogenic effect in Glioma
The TGF-beta oncogenic effect has been widely studied. In glioma, TGF-beta has an oncogenic role increasing cell proliferation and glioma-initiating cell (GIC) self-renewal capacity. During the investigation of this thesis, ...
Study of molecular mechanisms in glycoside hydrocases and transferases by ab initio molecular dinyamics
Carbohydrates had historically been associated to two biological functions: energy storage and structural support. However, in the last decades, new complex structures of oligosaccharides have been found to play vital roles ...
