Influence of agricultural practices on the microbiome and the antibiotic resistance gene complement in soils, plants, and crops
Antibiotic (AB) Resistance is an increasing global problem for public health, with multi-resistant bacteria persisting and spreading not only in clinical settings but also in the environment. One of the possible vectors ...
Influence of alignment uncertainty on homology and phylogenetic modeling
Most evolutionary analyses are based upon pre-estimated multiple sequence alignment models. From a computational point of view, it is too complex to estimate a correct alignment, as it is to derive a correct tree from ...
Influence of ambient temperature on building monitoring in urban areas during the construction of tunnels for transportation
A large number of underground works are under construction in several big cities around the world (London, Paris, Amsterdam, Beijing, Shanghai, Chicago, Caracas, Mexico D.F., and Riad, for instance): railway tunnels, water ...
Influence of anthropogenic pollution on the prevalence, maintenance and spread of antibiotic resistance in aquatic microbial communities
This Thesis demonstrates that microorganisms derived from wastewater are the 2/2 main contributors to antibiotic resistance (AR) in the environment. Once there, the background chemical contamination with antibiotic ...
Influence of axial compression ratio in building columns
(English) Axial forces in columns of moment-resisting frames (MRF) have a paramount role for the seismic performance of these structural systems. Nonetheless, there are significant gaps in the literature entailing the ...
The influence of bottom currents on the sedimentary evolution of the Alboran Sea during the Pliocene and Quaternary = La influencia de las corrientes de fondo en la evolución sedimentaria del Mar de Alborán durante el Plioceno y Cuaternario
An interdisciplinary study of the geomorphology, sedimentology, stratigraphy and physical oceanography of the deep-sea environments of the Alboran Sea (south-western Mediterranean Sea) has been carried out with the purpose ...
Influence of cavitation on the dynamic response of hydrofoils
The dynamic response of any structure submerged in water is significantly modified by the effect of added mass. The inertia of the fluid that the body must accelerate during its vibrational motion decreases its natural ...
Influence of Celebrity Endorsement on Mature Female Luxury Cosmetic Consumers
Globally, luxury cosmetic brands employ celebrity endorsement as a tool for building credibility with existing and potential end users. There is certainly a significant body of knowledge on celebrity endorsers, their ...
Influence of chemokine related polymorphisms in atherosclerosis and hiv-infections
Els malalts infectats pel Virus de la Immunodeficiència Humana (VIH) presenten major supervivència, degut a les teràpies altament efectives. De forma simultània però, també ha augmentat la incidència de malalties ...
The influence of climate change on the coastal Risk Landscape of the Catalan coast
Coastal areas concentrate very high socio-economic and natural values, which will be highly threatened by climate change, particularly by sea-level rise (SLR). Given the intrinsic characteristics of this zone, appropriate ...
Influence of Cu(II) and Glycodendrimers on Amyloid-beta-Peptide Aggregation
La malaltia d’Alzheimer es caracteritza per l’acumulació de plaques extracel.lulars amiloides, formades pels anomenats pèptids amiloides (Aβ40). L’homeòstasi del coure (Cu) es veu afectada en l’etiologia de la malaltia ...
Influence of custom made titanium meshes surface on bone regeneration using calcium phosphates
In such a complex biological and mechanical procedure like GBR, all the variables involved assume a vital role in the final outcome. The use of custom-made titanium meshes with their biological and mechanical properties ...
Influence of different ingredients and technologies in gluten-free bread quality
L’augment de persones que segueixen una dieta lliure de gluten perquè pateixen agluna afecció relacionada amb el gluten com la malaltia celíaca, la sensibilitat al gluten no celíaca o l’al·lèrgia al blat, o perquè perceben ...
