This thesis develops a quantitative approach to understanding and predicting the spatiotemporal distribution of biodiversity, based on a stochastic version of the theory of island biogeography. Here, I present R package ...
Antimicrobial Peptides have strong interest as a novel class of antimicrobial agents in the phytosanitary field. This Thesis focuses on the development of strategies to produce of BP100 derivatives (BP100ders) in genetically ...
Streams experiencing a recurrent non-flow phase (i.e., flow intermittency) are characteristic of world regions with arid and semi-arid climates, where Mediterranean regions are part of. During non-flow streambed sediments, ...
The main aim of the present study is to characterize the biological and biophysical properties of Apoptin, a viral protein that selectively induces apoptosis of a wide range of tumor cells. Apoptin has been produced and ...
This thesis focuses on the study of hydrogen dynamic behavior in a series of proton sponge cations as well as in bis(silyl)hydride organometallic complexes. To understand the dynamic behavior, a new tool, i.e. the ...
It all started in 1985, when Kroto, Smalley and Curl discovered by serendipity a new carbon allotrope. They synthesized for the first time the C60 molecule, and named it as ”Buckminsterfullerene”, because of the similarity ...
This thesis addresses the problem of learning in physical heterogeneous multi-agent systems<br/>(MAS) and the analysis of the benefits of using heterogeneous MAS with respect to<br/>homogeneous ones. An algorithm is developed ...
The global economy has suffered a serious crisis and rapid slowdown. globalization significantly increases the unbalanced use of finite, non- 2/1 renewable sources of energy, aggravating climate change. Millions of ...
El uso de barras de materiales compuestos (FRP) se propone como una alternativa efectiva para las tradicionales estructuras de hormigón armadas con acero que sufren corrosión en ambientes agresivos. La aceptación de estos ...
The human brain is a complex network that shares and processes information by using the structural paths between areas in order to perform a function. The connectome models the brain as a graph where nodes correspond to ...
The rehabilitation of buildings and infrastructure has gained importance in recent decades. Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) are effective for strengthening Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures due to their mechanical ...
The endothelium, the lining of our blood vessels, plays a crucial role in controlling functions such as blood flow, clotting and inflammation. When it does not function properly, called endothelial dysfunction, it can lead ...
In this thesis is presented the synthesis and characterization of two different carboranylcarboxylate ligands, 1-CH3-2-CO2H-1,2-closo-C2B10H10 and 1-CO2H-1,2-closo-C2B10H11, in which the methyl group bonded to the carbon ...
Cancer is the leading cause of death due to non-communicable diseases worldwide. Despite the advances in the development of new antitumor drugs, there are still problems such as the resistance that tumor cells acquire ...
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder with no effective treatment characterized by motor discoordination, deficits in cognitive function (acquiring new knowledges, memory, understanding…), and ...
This doctoral thesis aims to go deep on the knowledge of the city of Gerunda in the Roman period using as a main source of information the data about its suburbium, especially thanks to several archaeological projects ...
ENG- The main objective of this research is to deepen the understanding of the suffering inflicted by imprisonment. Through a historical, theoretical, and ethnographic perspective, our aim is to comprehend the act of ...
Sewer systems transport wastewater from its source to treatment plants. During this transport, wastewater microorganisms colonize pipe walls and develop biofilms. The activity of microbial communities generates sulfide ...
One of the most important radiative properties of aerosols is their optical thickness (AOD), which is closely linked to the total burden of atmospheric aerosols. On the contrary, we do avail of long time series of sunshine ...
La implantació de Sistemes de Suport a la presa de Decisions (SSD) en Estacions Depuradores d'Aigües Residuals Urbanes (EDAR) facilita l'aplicació de tècniques més eficients basades en el coneixement per a la gestió del ...
