Polyphenol oxidase: Activity, properties of its products and inactivation by innovative technologies
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) affects both kinds of matters that are nowadays at the forefront of the quality concept: those aspects related to health and those regarding organoleptic perception of food. In this Thesis, PPO ...
Polyphenolic fractions from wine by-products as potential antitumoral and/or protective agents against UV damage.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in countries throughout the world. Increase in the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) has been implicated in many human disease processes, including aging and carcinogenesis. ...
Polypurine reverse Hoogsteen hairpins as a gene therapy tool: in vitro development and in vivo validation
The work presented in this thesis is focused on the study of Polypurine Reverse Hoogsteen hairpins (PPRHs) as gene silencing tools. PPRHs are double-stranded DNA molecules formed by tvvo anti parallel homopurine domains ...
Polypurine Reverse Hoogsteen hairpins: stability, lack of immunogenicity and gene silencing in cancer therapy
This work is focused on the study of the stability and immunogenic properties of the Polypurine Reverse Hoogsteen hairpins (PPRHs), and on their use as a gene-silencing tool. PPRHs are non-modified DNA molecules formed by ...
Polypyrrole nanoparticles & composites: Cardiac arrythmia treatment evaluated in cells & Caenorhabditis elegans
Els polímers conjugats (CP) són materials versàtils amb una àmplia gamma de propietats valuoses per a aplicacions biomèdiques. Les PCs en les estratègies terapèutiques modernes, com l'enginyeria de teixits, han guanyat una ...
Polyunsaturated fatty acids in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: role of DHA, peroxidative modifications and sexual dimorphism
In the present work we focus into the potential relevance of PUFAs in some models and human samples from patients suffering amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Due to its pathological implication, oxidative stress was ...
Polyurethanes based on fatty acids with improved biocompatibility
El objetivo principal de esta tesis ha sido el desarrollo de nuevos poliuretanos a partir de ácidos grasos como fuentes renovables, utilizando química “click” en la síntesis de los dioles y polioles correspondientes. La ...
Pompeu Gener i el nacionalisme regeneracionista (1887-1906): La intel·lectualitat, la nació i el poder a Catalunya.
Aquesta tesi doctoral es centra en l’estudi del pensament de Pompeu Gener, partint especialment de dos centres principals d’interès: les seves concepcions sobre la qüestió nacional, de tarannà regeneracionista, i les seves ...
POMSimulator: A method for understanding the Multi-Equilibria and Self-Assembly Processes of Polyoxometalates
En aquesta tesi hem desenvolupat POMSimulator, una novetat computacional mètode que prediu l'especiació aquosa d'oxocúmuls moleculars així com el mecanisme de formació. En el nostre primer treball nosaltres va provar ...
El Pop a la manera del disseny gràfic català. El descobriment Pop del passat: dissenyadors - col·leccionistes
L’arribada dels anys 60 va representar, per a una bona part de les democràcies occidentals, l’inici d’una època de desenvolupament econòmic caracteritzat per la plena ocupació de la població i per l’aparició de la societat ...
Populating cosmological simulations with galaxies using the HOD model
El propósito de la tesis es presentar un método con el que construir catálogos de galaxias virtuales poblando simulaciones de N-cuerpos usando recetas basadas en el modelo ``Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD)''. Los catálogos ...
Population and evolutionary dynamics in spatial systems
Physical and mathematical models are extremely useful to understand key processes in population and evolutionary dynamics. Such models allow the study of many diverse features in spatial systems such as front propagation, ...
Population and income across time and space
En aquesta tesi investigo teòricament i empíricament l'evolució dels nivells de població i ingressos a tot el món. En el primer capítol, titulat "El Globus com a Xarxa", em pregunto: quina importància tenen els costos de ...
Population dynamics and assessment of exploited deep water decapods of Balearic Islands (western Mediterranean): from single to multi-species approach
In the western Mediterranean, deep water decapod crustaceans form a considerable fraction of the megafaunal biomass in the upper and middle slope, being a very important component of the catches of the commercial fishery. ...
Population dynamics of Meloidogyne spp. on tomato and cucumber and biologically-based management strategies
The general objective of the thesis was to determinate the population dynamics of Meloidogyne on tomato and cucumber, the yield losses caused by the nematode and the effect of biologically-based management strategies to ...
Population dynamics of the Pyrenean newt (Calotriton asper): demography, morphometry and population genetics
L'objectiu d'aquest estudi és analitzar la dinàmica poblacional del tritó pirinenc (Catotriton asper). En primer lloc, es va avaluar el fenomen de la paedomorfosis facultativa, en una població lacustre en què es va detectar ...
Population dynamics, interactions and evolution of marine microbes using genomic approaches
(English) There is a myriad of microorganisms on Earth contributing to global biogeochemical cycles. In the surface ocean, the smallest microbes (picoplankton) are responsible for an important fraction of the total atmospheric ...
Population genetic landscape of Basques
Basque people have been the focus of many studies in the last decades due to cultural and genetic characteristics that place them as an outlier population within the European landscape. Despite the existence of large amount ...
Population genetics of Copy Number Variants: the case of the Romani population
Much information has been gathered for the Romani population so far, spanning historical, linguistics and genetics research. While whole genome analyses for this population started only recently, most studies using genetic ...
Population genomics in Drosophila melanogaster: a bioinformatics approach
High-throughput sequencing technologies are allowing the description of genome-wide variation patterns for an ever-growing number of organisms. However, we still lack a thorough comprehension of the relative amount of ...
