This dissertation revolves around the task of computational key estimation in electronic dance music, upon which we perform three interrelated operations. First, we attempt to detect possible misconceptions within the task, ...
Les tècniques d'imatge d'alt rang dinàmic (HDR) potencialment permeten la captura i l'emmagatzematge de tota la informació de llum en una escena. No obstant això, els dispositius comuns de visualització són limitats en ...
At the metaphase-to-anaphase transition, spindle microtubules pull replicated chromosomes to the daughter cells, but full separation of long chromosome arms is achieved in late anaphase. We have created an allelic series ...
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is one of the most studied personality disorders, given its prevalence and the severity of its symptoms. In the last years, several models of the disorder were presented, however, no ...

A typical music audio consists of different sounds spread across voices and musical instruments. We propose a low-cost deep learning (DL) method for simultaneously isolating multiple sound sources present in a music ...
This thesis addresses the problem of the development of Natural Language Processing techniques for the extraction and generalization of compositional and functional relations from specialized written texts and, in ...
Currently, there are no antiviral strategies to rapidly respond to novel emerging viruses or to mosquito borne viruses. On this thesis we have developed an innovative artificial circular RNA (circRNA) antiviral platform ...
Nuestro cerebro tiene la habilidad innata de aislar diferentes sonidos en ambientes ruidosos (Efecto de fiesta de coctel), así como de entender la relación entre aquello que vemos y oímos. Esta tesis tiene como objetivo ...
LAM is a rare metastasizing and destructive disorder of the lung. The disease is caused by cells carrying mutations in the TSC1/2 genes, but the tissue of origin of diseased cells remains unknown. The standard of care for ...
