Applying Mobile and Geospatial Technologies to Ecological Momentary Interventions
Today a large percentage of the population suffers from anxiety-related problems. This anxiety can appear in day-to-day situations. An effective therapy for these problems is exposure. In it, the person is gradually exposed ...
Applying safe flooring in housing environments related to the independent elderly : evaluating suitability flooring technology to absorb impact in the event of a fall
This research has been developed with the intention of investigating a different generation of pavements. Most of the current pavements have the same basic standard characteristics and this ensures that living conditions ...
Applying species distribution models in conservation biology = Aplicacions dels models de distribució d'espècies en biologia de la conservació
This work is at the crossroads where conservation problems, arising from the biodiversity loss and environmental crisis, meet the difficulties of applying research outcomes in conservation practice, framed in a sustained ...
An approach for reducing hospitality industry turnover ratio by understanding Millennials' work motivation based on values and their personality traits
La indústria hotelera és un dels sectors que dóna feina a més persones a tot el món i el capital humà, és un dels actius més valuosos a causa de la naturalesa de les seves interaccions. Paradoxalment, la indústria hotelera ...
Approach to acoustic mapping through continuous mobile monitoring
For the production of representative noise maps, a large amount of information is necessary, which includes, among others, on-site measurements of environmental noise. Thus, for noise maps based on measurements, mobile ...
An approach to melanoma classification exploiting polarization information
Malignant melanoma is the deadliest of skin cancers and causes the majority of deaths in comparison to other skin-related malignancies. Yet it is the most treatable type of cancer, thanks to its early diagnosis. Subsequently, ...
An approach to occasion-sensitivity
The aim of this dissertation is to explore the hypothesis that language is occasion- sensitive. To hold that language is occasion-sensitive is to hold that the truth-conditions of most of our utterances depend on the ...

Approaches for assessing whether the human hand evolved by natural selection in adaptation to stone tool use
Els estudis en Evolució Humana han conclòs en general que els trets derivats en humans van facilitar comportaments relacionats amb l'ús d'eines i ens van fer primats especialment destres. La manera com els humans adquirim ...
Approaches for the biological control of stored product pests
Stored products include all postharvest agricultural foodstuffs that do not require refrigeration and that can be preserved for several months under proper conditions as cereal grain and other raw material or processed ...
Approaches to Asymmetric Catalysis Mediated by Ploymer-Supported and Homogeneous Organocatalysts
Aquesta tesi se centra en la síntesi d'organocatalitzadors, especialment els suportats en polímer, i la seva aplicació en diverses transformacions asimètriques. En el capítol II, s'ha desenvolupat una cicloaddició [4 + 2] ...
Approaches to asymmetric catalysis with polymer-supported pyrrolidines
El presente proyecto de investigación se centra en la inmovilización de sistemas catalíticos derivados de pirrolidinas sobre polímeros entrecruzados de PS que permiten realizar enantioselectivamente la formación de ...
Approaches to characterize structural properties of RNA
The secondary structure of an RNA molecule is fundamental for its function. However, structural conservation and the structure of RNA in vivo are still poorly understood. Data from recent high-throughput experiments can ...
Approaches to evaluate the pharmacology of new psychoactive substances
In the last decade, the rapid emergence of a group of compounds known as novel psychoactive substances (NPS) has become a worrying problem due to their ambiguous legal status, their easy availability, their extensive ...
