Contribució a l'estudi dels conjunts extensionals de les relacions d'indistingibilitat i la seva aplicació a la representació d'imatges de ressonància magnètica
This thesis can be summarized in the following sentence: All scientific models, for instance structural atlases of brain MRI, can be read in terms of fuzzy extensional sets. The work done in this doctoral thesis backs up ...
Contribution to the development of methods and systems for the automatization during the early stages of bioprocess development
This thesis is framed within the field of red biotechnology and more specifically in the development of bioprocesses for cell species that feature some therapeutical interest, either for the production of vaccines and ...
Computational fluid dynamics indicators to improve cardiovascular pathologies
In recent years, the study of computational hemodynamics within anatomically complex vascular regions has generated great interest among clinicians. The progress in computational fluid dynamics, image processing and ...
Computational representation and discovery of transcription factor binding sites
The information about how, when, and where are produced the proteins has been one of the major challenge in molecular biology. The studies about the control of the gene expression are essential in order to have a better ...
Biomimetic hydrogels for in situ bone tissue engineering : nature-inspired crosslinking methods as a tool to tune scaffold physical properties
The global incidence of bone fractures, and subsequently that of non-healing ones, is expected to rise in the coming decades, mostly due to an increased risk of age-related conditions. Currently, the biomaterials field is ...
Adaptive control for wearable robots in human-centered rehabilitation tasks
Robotic rehabilitation therapies have been improving by providing the needed assistance to the patient, in a human-centered environment, and also helping the therapist to choose the necessary procedure. This thesis presents ...
Análisis de la interacción cardíaca y respiratoria en pacientes con cardiomiopatía y pacientes en proceso de extubación
Study and evaluation of patients with heart failure related with ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathy is interesting for the clinical practice. Similarly, the analysis of the behavior of the respiratory system of patients ...
Bioinformatics methods for the genomics and metabolomics analysis of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases
During the last decade, genomics have been widely used to the characterization of the molecular basis of common diseases. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been highly successful in characterizing the genetic ...
Methodology for automatic classification of atypical lymphoid cells from peripheral blood cell images
Morphological analysis is the starting point for the diagnostic approach of more than 80% of the hematological diseases. However, the morphological differentiation among different types of abnormal lymphoid cells in ...
Optimization and muscle synergy approaches for studying muscle redundancy during walking
The human body is an over-actuated multibody system, as each joint degree of freedom can be controlled by more than one muscle. Usually, optimization techniques are used to solve the muscle force sharing problem, that is, ...
Nanomaterials based microarray platforms for biodetection
Analytical disciplines are an important field for the progress of healthcare and medicine. In fact the technologies related to analytical disciplines may reveal important information for early diagnosis, treatment of ...
Injectable biodegradable carriers for the delivery of therapeutic agents and tissue engineering
The design of smart biomaterial devices plays a key role to improve the way conventional therapies are being delivered, and to promote the development of new approaches for advanced therapies, such as regenerative medicine ...
Biomimetic set up for chemosensor-based machine olfaction
The thesis falls into the field of machine olfaction and accompanying experimental set up for chemical gas sensing. Perhaps more than any other sensory modality, chemical sensing faces with major technical and conceptual ...
Valoración de la respuesta tisular tras a pancreatotomía media realizada con un dispositivo asistido por radiofrecuencia
The current approach to managing the distal pancreas after pancreaticoduodenectomy is to anastomose the stump to either the jejunum or the stomach. However, occlusion of the main pancreatic duct (usually sutured, ligated ...
Development of nonlinear techniques based on time-frequency representation and information theory for the analysis of EEG signals to assess different states of consciousness
Electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings provide insight into the changes in brain activity associated with various states of anesthesia, epilepsy, brain attentiveness, sleep disorders, brain disorders, etc. EEG's are complex ...
Machine learning methods for the analysis of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry datasets in metabolomics
Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) instruments are widely used in Metabolomics. To analyse their output, it is necessary to use computational tools and algorithms to extract meaningful biological information. ...
Lactate-releasing PLA scaffolds for brain regeneration
Stroke and traumatic brain injuries are common causes of disability, with loss of nerve tissue due to secondary degeneration, gliosis, and often the formation of cavities that inhibit neural cell growth. Recent attempts ...
New approaches in calcium phosphate cements and ceramics for bone regeneration.
Bone is among the most frequently transplanted tissues in the body. In Europe, about one million patients encounter a surgical bone reconstruction annually. The worldwide market of bone replacement materials is currently ...
Functionalization of a Ti-based alloy with synthesized recombinant fibronectin fragments to improve cellular response
According to a study of the European Commission, approximately one million hips are replaced by prostheses worldwide every year. The interaction of the human body with foreign materials that are subjected to alternating ...
Dispositivos poliméricos para el confinamiento neuronal y registro electrofisiológico "in vitro". Métodos de fabricación y prueba de concepto
La presente tesis trata del diseño y fabricación de un nuevo dispositivo para registrar la actividad eléctrica neuronal espontánea y estimulada farmacológicamente, en redes neuronales in vitro. La forma de operar esta ...
