Phytolith analysis from raised and ditched fields of the Llanos de Moxos, Bolivia: A contribution to the understanding Pre-Columbian agriculture in southwestern Amazonia
In pre-Columbian times thousands of raised and ditched agricultural fields were built in the seasonally inundated savannah of the Llanos de Moxos, southwestern Amazonia. How they functioned is still poorly understood. An ...
Unveiling the molecular and behavioral properties of hindbrain rhombomere centers
Precise regulation of neurogenesis is achieved by differentially allocating the neurogenic competence along the tissue. In the hindbrain proneural gene expression is stereotypically confined in segment boundary-adjacent ...
Neural networks for singing voice extraction in monaural polyphonic music signals
This thesis dissertation focuses on singing voice extraction from polyphonic musical signals. In particular, we focus on two cases; contemporary popular music, which typically has a processed singing voice with instrumental ...
Implicaciones clínicas y biológicas del déficit de hierro en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica : Efectos tras la reposición con hierro carboximaltosa
El déficit de hierro (DH) podría jugar un papel en la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) dado que es fundamental en la bioenergética celular. Estudio 1: Se analizaron 18 pacientes EPOC con DH y 18 pacientes ...
Learning how to simulate : Applying machine learning methods to improve molecular dynamics simulations
Caracteritzar la dinàmica de les proteïnes és essencial per tal d'entendre la connexió entre seqüència i funció. La simulació de dinàmiques moleculars és una de les tècniques principals per a estudiar la dinàmica de proteïnes ...

El presente trabajo tiene el objetivo de conocer el tratamiento de los tres elementos principales de la microestructura de los diccionarios bilingües: el equivalente, el ejemplo y su traducción, y de proponer entradas ...
Person and number in Catalan Sign Language pronouns
Languages use different resources to specify the numerosity of the referents and to denote the speech act participants. This thesis describes the morphophonological strategies used in Catalan Sign Language (LSC) personal ...
Sentiment induction for attention and lexicon regularized neural sentiment analysis: improving aspect-based neural sentiment analysis with lexicon enhancement, attention regularization and sentiment induction
Deep neural networks as an end-to-end approach lacks flexibility and robustness from an application point of view, as one cannot easily adjust the network to fix an obvious problem, especially when new training data is ...
Targeting glial cells as a therapeutic approach for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is the most common adverse effect of many first-line antineoplastic agents, which negatively affects the quality of life and clinical outcome. Current clinical management ...
Focus and contrast in Catalan Sign Language (LSC) : form and interpretation
This thesis provides a description and a pragmatic analysis of the expression and interpretation of focus and contrast in Catalan Sign Language (LSC). I argue that LSC data provides empirical evidence that contrast is an ...
Studying collaborative learning space design with multimodal learning analytics
Research has provided relevant advances in evidence-based design for productive learning. For example, in the field of collaborative learning, there is extensive evidence for some key learning design elements, such as ...
Data-driven musical version identification: accuracy, scalability and bias perspectives
This dissertation aims at developing audio-based musical version identification (VI) systems for industry-scale corpora. To employ such systems in industrial use cases, they must demonstrate high performance on large-scale ...
Terahertz communications: Physical layer enablers and analysis
Undoubtedly, spectrum scarcity constitutes the main bottleneck of current wireless networks. It is therefore imperative to move beyond the sub-6 GHz band in order to overcome this limitation. Toward this direction, terahertz ...
Automating crowd simulation: from parameter tuning to dynamic context-to-policy adaptation
Computer-generated crowds are becoming more and more frequent in films, video games and safety assessment applications. Many crowd simulation algorithms exist to address the needs of this diverse range of industries. Even ...
