Succinct non-interactive arguments (snarks) are cryptographic constructions that allow a prover to convince a verifier about the validity of a statement regarding some computation. We consider these objects from the ...
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15- to 29-year-olds. Male youths have higher risk for suicide compared to females, whereas females are at greater risk for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. Mental ...
Elucidating the mechanism of somatic cell reprogramming has been hampered by the limitations of iPSC systems to uncover the correctly reprogramming cells. Here, by using the highly efficient heterokaryon system we dissected ...
As the Web continues to increase both in size and complexity, Web search is a ubiquitous service that allows users to find all kind of information, resources, and activities. However, as the Web evolves so do the needs of ...
The notion of teachers as designers of learning environments has emerged with the increasing use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Education. Research in Learning Design (LD) studies how to support ...
Antecedentes La conducta suicida es un problema complejo cuyo abordaje desafía a las sociedades y los sistemas gubernamentales. El presente estudio tiene como objetivos: estimar la incidencia de la conducta suicida en ...
This thesis focuses on the complexity of the fixed-template Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) and its variants. Our contributions are two-fold. On the one hand, we study how closure of the space of CSP instances under ...
Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common monogenic cause of intellectual disability and autism, is characterized by impairment in cognitive function and synaptic plasticity. Several preclinical studies in animal models ...
Obesity constitutes a problem whose manifestations have consequences in almost every field of the medicine and nowadays there is a lack of pharmacological therapy alternatives for its long term treatment. Lipidic compounds ...
Microorganisms exhibit remarkable adaptability and represent a vast genetic resource. Synthetic biology aims to leverage this diversity for sustainability and medicine. However, many microbes remain unexplored due to limited ...
M. pneumoniae is one of the smallest self-replicating organisms. Many organism wide studies have been performed on M. pneumoniae and provide a wealth of information on the bacteria. However, the genetic tools to manipulate ...
In this thesis, two approaches of information presentation on indoor view have been presented using Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and camera sensors on a robot. The goal is to capture images of the indoor environment ...
Spatial frequency reuse is a long-established approach for enhancing the capacity of wireless systems through increased spectral efficiency (bits per second per unit bandwidth). The future 5th generation of wireless systems ...
The embryo of Caenorhabditis elegans is a model system in which development can be studied at single cell resolution. In this thesis I describe the use of a semi-automatic nuclear tracking algorithm to analyze cellular ...
Alternative splicing is an essential regulatory layer of gene expression that expands the coding potential of the genome in multicellular organisms. The spliceosome -the sophisticated machinery involved in intron removal- ...
Alterations in developmental transitions are common among animals to compensate for growth disturbances. These variations are usually a consequence of altered steroidal hormone production resulting in puberty delays. ...
This thesis investigates various aspects of systemic risk in nancial networks. Chapter 1 explores the existence of a contagion channel to security returns given that banks are connected via overlapping portfolios. Making ...
A fundamental property of living cells is the ability to sense and respond appropriately to changing environmental conditions. In budding yeast (Sacharomyces cerevisiae), changes in extracellular osmotic conditions are ...
This thesis examines inflammation from the perspective of systems biology in two different situations: cellular senescence resulting from unresolved tissue damage and the acute immune response to the invasion of a pathogen, ...
Les plataformes d'intercanvi de recursos multimèdia contenen grans quantitats de contingut creat pels seus usuaris. Habitualment, aquest contingut no està ben anotat. En aquesta tesi, proposem mètodes per ajudar els ...
