Caracterització del suro i subproductes de la indústria surera. Valoració d'aquests com a biosorbents d'hidrocarburs aromàtics policíclics en aigües d'escorrentia
The main objective of this thesis is to characterize and evaluate the capacity of cork and by-products of the cork industry (collectively called as cork samples) as biosorbents of aqueous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ...
Reaction mechanisms involved in cross coupling processes catalysed by copper and nickel
Organometallic aryl-CuIII species have been proposed as key intermediates in Ullmann-type reactions. However, such species have long remained elusive and mechanistic investigations of a plausible catalytic cycle remained ...
Freezability markers for boar sperm: new proteomic approaches
Sperm cryopreservation is currently the most suitable technique to store boar sperm samples for a long period of time. However, not all boar ejaculations present the same freezability, this allows the classification of ...
Characterization and improvement of plant-associated Lactobacillus plantarum. Novel biocontrol agent for fire blight disease
Fire blight is a disease caused by Erwinia amylovora. For the limited effectiveness of copper products and the new regulations for the sustainable use of pesticides, biological control is considered a good alternative for ...
Functional genomics of the periderm: the biosynthetic gene FHT, the transcriptional regulator StRiK and the transcriptome deciphering
We have developed new molecular tools to characterize the FHT and StRIK genes in the tuber periderm. Regarding FHT gene, our results demonstrated that is induced very specifically in suberizing tissues what makes FHT a ...
Tools for 3D point cloud registration
In this thesis, we did an in-depth review of the state of the art of 3D registration, evaluating the most popular methods. Given the lack of standardization in the literature, we also proposed a nomenclature and a ...
Educar per a la sostenibilitat. Percepció i projecció de les problemàtiques socials i ambientals. Per un model psicopedagògic d'educació per a la sostenibilitat
Aquesta Tesi Doctoral parteix d'una motivació i sensibilització personal pels temes i les problemàtiques socials i ambientals. Del convenciment personal que l'educació per a la sostenibilitat pot tenir un paper important ...
Fortuny de Pere Gimferrer o un bric-à-brac de la Belle Époque. Una novel·la singular en el panorama narratiu català dels anys vuitanta
This thesis examines one of the most unique novels of contemporary Catalan narrative, Fortuny (1983) by Pere Gimferrer. The aims of the present study are mainly two: to shed light on one of the most important, but least ...
Modified hydrodynamics in fragmented canopies exposed to oscillatory flows
The general objective of this doctoral thesis has been to contribute to understand the modification of hydrodynamics in fragmented canopies. The effect of different parameters such as the canopy density, the plant height ...
Sistema d'ajut a la decisió per la selecció de sistemes de sanejament
The selection of the most appropriate wastewater treatment involves a complex decision making process. For that reason, some tools have been developed in recent years in order to deal with this complexity, as Novedar_EDSS ...
Pharmaceuticals and endocrine disruptors: accumulation in aquatic biota and environmental effects
Occurrence, fate, and adverse effects of emerging contaminants in the aquatic environment have become a matter of concern, since these compounds have been persistently detected in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents, ...
Elaboración y aplicación de un programa de formación de formadores para la prevención sexual del VIH: efectos sobre la asertividad, la autoeficacia y la conducta
We designed and implemented a training programme aimed at university students in the field of education and health, providing them with professional tools for carrying out preventive interventions in relation to high-risk ...
L'arquitectura: de la societat de l'espectacle a l'era de les xarxes. L'architettura: dalla società dello spettacolo all'era delle reti.
This paper analyzes the adaptation of the design culture to the americanization of western society; this phenomenon is studied with a special attention to the effects of the growth of the network society ( ie, in the process ...
Paisatges de frontera dels territoris de pas dels Pirineus: els casos de l’àrea central de l’Espai Català Transfronterer i l’àrea central de l’Eurociutat Basca
Border landscapes often constitute geographical unities which have experimented distinct landscapes dynamics in each side of the border. This fact occurs because these border landscapes belong to different countries. The ...
La vulnerabilitat del comerç de la ciutat de Girona a les inundacions del riu Onyar
This paper analyzes the vulnerability of commercial establishments in the city of Girona to potential floods caused by the River Onyar. We identified all the shops located on the ground floor within the flood areas with ...
Connexions entre educació matemàtica i educació per a la sostenibilitat: definició d'un perfil de mestre de matemàtiques
Citizens with good mathematical knowledge will be better prepared to make social commitments and accept the social responsibilities presented by a changing and complex world. This thesis proposes to link mathematics education ...
Canvis recents en el consum i la gestió de l'aigua en espais turístics. El cas de la Costa Brava (Girona)
Tourism has become one of the most important economic sectors in the Mediterranean coast. Despite the economic benefits generated by tourism at local and regional level, the environmental impacts related to water consumption ...
New carbocyclisations of polyunsaturated hydrazones catalysed by rhodium(I)
Some of the most powerful methods for synthesizing complex organic molecules with high levels of chemo-, diastereo- and enantioselectivity rely on metal carbene chemistry. These compounds are versatile reaction intermediates ...
Conductive nanopaper from cellulose nanofibers and conductive polymers and/or carbon nanotubes
Coming from renewable and sustainable raw materials, nanocelluloses are rapidly emerging as one of the most promising future materials. Recently, the use of nanocellulose nanocomposites in flexible electrodes, biosensors ...
Understanding C-H oxidation and amination reactions performed by late first-row transition metals: trapping high-valent metal-O/N species
The transformation of C-H bonds into C-O/N bonds is a process of interest in organic synthesis, but controlling the reactivity and selectivity among the multiple C-H bonds existing in most molecules is a challenging task. ...
