Minimisation and abatement of volatile sulphur compounds in sewage sludge processing
Environmental pollution related to odour emission has become in the last years an important public concern. Closeness of odour-causing facilities such as waste water treatment plants (WWTPs) to urban areas further aggravates ...
Molecular mechanism of PE5-induced cytotoxicity and generation of new cytotoxic nuclear-directed
Cytotoxic ribonucleases are promising agents to be used in the treatment of cancer. Our group previously described a cytotoxic human pancreatic ribonuclease variant, named PE5, which carries a nuclear localization signal. ...
Effect of pre-bond moisture on the static and fatigue behaviour of bonded joints between CFRP laminates for structural repairs
In recent years, the use of composite materials in the aeronautic, automotive, marine construction, etc. has increased significantly. Hence, there is an increasing need for repair technologies on primary structural components, ...
Stream biofilm responses to flow intermittency
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, ...
Automated detection of new multiple sclerosis lesions in longitudinal brain magnetic resonance imaging
This thesis deals with the detection of new multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions in longitudinal brain magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. This disease is characterized by the presence of lesions in the brain, predominantly in the ...
