Exploiting circulating lymphocytes and cell-free DNA as a source to develop minimally-invasive personalized T-cell therapies
[eng] Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) can medi- ate tumor regression in patients with metastatic melanoma. Retrospective studies of TIL products from responders and non-responders have ...
Exploiting cognition for energy and spectrum efficient wireless networks
The main objective of this thesis is to propose and evaluate medium access layer algorithms, that will exploit different types of cognition to provide energy and spectrum efficiency enhancement. In particular, two main ...
Exploiting data locality in cache-coherent NUMA systems
The end of Dennard scaling has caused a stagnation of the clock frequency in computers.To overcome this issue, in the last two decades vendors have been integrating larger numbers of processing elements in the systems, ...
Exploiting distributional semantics for content-based and context-aware recommendation
During the last decade, the use of recommender systems has been increasingly growing to the point that, nowadays, the success of many well-known services depends on these technologies. Recommenders Systems help people to ...
Exploiting frame coherence in real-time rendering for energy-efficient GPUs
The computation capabilities of mobile GPUs have greatly evolved in the last generations, allowing real-time rendering of realistic scenes. However, the desire for processing complex environments clashes with the ...
Exploiting high pressure advantages in catalytic hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol
The aim of this thesis was to develop highly efficient CO2 hydrogenation process towards methanol by making use of high pressure approach. A high pressure lab scale plant was developed to conduct CO2 hydrogenation up to ...
Exploiting implicit user activity for media recommendation
This thesis explores in depth how to use the user browsing behavior, and in particular the referrer URL, in order to understand the interest of the users. The aim is, first, to understand the preferences of the users from ...
Exploiting nonlinearity and noise in optical tweezers and semiconductor lasers : from resonant damping to stochastic logic gates and extreme pulses
This thesis is focused on the study of stochastic and nonlinear dynamics in optical systems. First, we study experimentally the dynamics of a Brownian nanometer particle in an optical trap subjected to an external forcing. ...
Exploiting novel automated analytical methodologies for the monitoring of environmental organic pollutants, and its potential incorporation to environmental monitoring regulations

Exploiting optical signal analysis for autonomous communications
(English) Optical communications have been extensively investigated and enhanced in the last decades. Nowadays, they are responsible to transport all the data traffic generated around the world, from access to the core ...
Exploiting Organocatalysis in Photochemical Processes
El treball descrit en aquesta dissertació es centra en la implementació d’estratègies organocatalítiques per superar les limitacions de processos fotoquímics establerts. Específicament, dues transformacions impulsades per ...
Exploiting protein fragments in protein modelling and function prediction
Proteins are the basic functional and structural blocks of life. Knowledge of their structure and function is key to understand how it works. Lately, the gap between new discovered proteins and systematically studied ones ...
Exploiting similarity hierarchies for multi-script scene text understanding
En aquesta tesi s'aborda el problema de la comprensió de text automàtic en condicions sense restriccions. En particular, abordem les tasques de detecció, el seguiment, i el reconeixement de text multi-idioma amb orientació ...
Exploiting spatial modulation and analog network coding for the design of energy-efficient wireless networks
As the data rate demands of the cellular users increase, together with their number, it is expected that unprecedented capacity demands should be met in wireless networks in the forthcoming years. However, the energy ...
