La tesis consta de dos partes. En la primera parte se analiza la relación entre las fricciones en los flujos de información que llegan a la empresa y la persistencia del patrón de la inflación. En particular, se presenta ...
This thesis explores a peculiar phenomenon of urban governance: namely, the recent rise of strategic city planning. Over the last decades, a growing number of cities adopted strategic plans that—following a strikingly ...
This work examines the place that sustainable development has in the field of international policy and law. The thesis argues that a narrative of balance between different economic, social and environmental aspects, and a ...
Els avenços tecnològics i científics que s’han produït durant les últimes dècades han constituït la recerca biomèdica tal i com la coneixem avui en dia. Per poder afrontar els reptes que proposa la ciència, en un futur ...
Substantial research has been carried out on evaluating the physician-patient interaction and on launching policy initiatives to improve patient-centred care. However, the organizational uptake of strategies to improve ...
This thesis consists of three studies investigating the strategy selection problem and the role of function learning in human decision making. Chapter 1 examines how people learn which decision strategy to use when ...
Understanding what constitutes a true Minimal Cell is a key challenge in synthetic biology. In this work, we present two new tools to aid in this endeavour. i) A novel methodology for minimising the Mycoplasma pneumoniae ...
The study of complex systems has unraveled the basic principles underlying the emergence of collective behaviors in networks of interacting units. Following this framework, we suggest that excitatory-inhibitory balance ...
By examining the framing that political actors made of the upcoming landmark LOAPA, Rumasa and abortion decisions issued by the Spanish Constitutional Court between 1980 and 1983, its influence on public debate and the ...
Con la reciente explosión cuantitativa de bibliotecas y colecciones de música en formato<br/>digital, la descripción del contenido desempeña un papel fundamental para una gestión y<br/>búsqueda eficientes de archivos de ...
La eritropoyetina o EPO es una hormona glicoproteica. En los seres humanos adultos, se produce principalmente en el riñón, en respuesta a la reducción de oxígeno en los tejidos (hipoxia tisular). La EPO estimula la ...
Interactions between proteins give rise to many functions in cells. In the lastdecade, highthroughput experiments have identified thousands of protein interactions, which are often represented together as large protein ...
Language impairment forms a broader spectrum in humans than current diagnostic labels such as specific language impairment suggest. This thesis is about language capacities at the neglected bottom end of severity across ...
MobM relaxase from the promiscuous antibiotic resistance plasmid pMV158 is a prototype of the Mob_Pre/MOBV family of relaxases, the major family of relaxases found in Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcal infections cause ...
Linguistic characteristics of spontaneous connected speech are showing increasing potential for detecting and tracking cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease, and could be particularly suitable to study at-risk populations ...
Most of the cellular functions are driven by small-molecules that selectively bind to their protein targets. Is such their importance, that the pharmacological intervention of proteins by small molecule drugs is frequently ...
Los argumentos de la tesis son los modelos VAR estructurales y los modelos dinámicos de equilibrio general ambos aplicados a la macroeconomía.<br/>El primer capítulo analiza, por medio de modelos VAR, los efectos de la ...
Classical planning is the problem of finding a sequence of actions for achieving a goal from an initial state assuming that actions have deterministic effects. The most effective approach for finding such plans is based ...
Des de l’aparició de les tecnologies de seqüenciació d’alt rendiment, els conjunts de dades biològiques han esdevingut cada cop més grans i complexes, la qual cosa els fa pràcticament impossibles d’interpretar manualment. ...
The Drosophila larva is an excellent model organism to study the neural correlates of behavior. It possesses a tractable yet complex nervous system that is capable of integrating and transforming multimodal sensory stimuli ...
