Determinació del patró de miRNA en líquid cefaloraquidi de pacients amb esclerosi múltiple (estudi miEM)
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic neurological disease of the central nervous system with unknown, autoimmune mechanism, and a progressive and disabling course. Lipid-specific oligoclonal IgM bands in cerebrospinal fluid ...
Temporal trends of incidence and survival of myeloid malignancies in Girona: a population-based study during the recent fifteen years
Myeloid malignancies (MMs) are a heterogeneous group of haematological malignancies presenting different incidence, prognosis and survival. Changing classifications (French-American-British (FAB), World Health Organization ...
Strategies for the production of cationic α-helical antimicrobial peptides in plant biofactories
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 ...
Geometric characteristics of clouds from ceilometer measurements and radiosounding methods
Improving methods for automatic and continuous description of cloud has a huge importance in order to determine the role of clouds in climate and their contribution to climate change. The geometric characteristics of clouds, ...
Modelling of potential energy surfaces for photochemistry: conical intersections and application to optical control
Conical Intersections (CI) are points in Potential Energy Surfaces (PES) of two or more states that have the same energy. They are fundamental to understand photo-chemical processes. These points are not isolated points, ...
Effects of operational conditions on the performance of a partial nitritation SBR treating high nitrogen loads
The biological treatment of industrial wastewater containing high nitrogen concentrations (>1000 mg N L-1) and low biodegradable organic matter (bCOD) such as landfill leachate is nowadays challenging. Conventional ...

Objective: To adapt the community nursing version of the “Developing Evidence-Based Practice (DEBP )” questionnaire in to the primary health care (PHC) setting in Spain and to evaluate its psychometric properties. Methods: ...
La imatge turística del Pirineu català: el cas de la Vall de Camprodon
This doctoral thesis will try to identify all structural elements that form the tourist landscape of the Valley of Camprodon, primarily from the tension between tradition/modernity vectors and between the nodes/semiologic ...
Les altes pressions i la bioconservació com a estratègies de control de Listeria monocytogenes en productes carnis llestos per al consum. Assajos d’inoculació i modelització matemàtica
The present doctoral dissertation deals with the study of the effect of food preservation technologies, such as high pressure (HP) treatments and biopreservation with nisin, on the behaviour of Listeria monocytogenes during ...
A geometric routing scheme in word-metric spaces for data networks
This research work explores the use of the Greedy Geometric Routing (GGR) schemes to solve the scalability problem of the routing systems in Internet-like networks and several families of Data Center architectures. We ...
Fat and salt reduction and substitution in small-caliber non-acid fermented sausages
The objective of this thesis is to develop fermented sausages with lower fat and sodium content by means of innovative processing and the use of fat and NaCl substitutes. The effect of sunflower oil and pork lard-based ...
Metal ions removal from polluted waters by sorption onto exhausted coffee waste. Application to metal finishing industries wastewater treatment
A new technology for Cr(VI) and divalent metal ions removal based on metal sorption onto exhausted coffee waste has been developed. Physical and chemical characterization of exhausted coffee waste was explored as well as ...
Ricard Giralt i Casadesús, un noucentista transversal (1884-1970): arquitectura, urbanisme i municipi a la Catalunya del segle XX
The present thesis studies in depth a perspective of the noucentista movement focusing on the professional career of the architect Ricard Giralt Casadesús (1884-1970) and particularly on his urban design approach and social ...
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 ...
