Characterization of the role of the CPEB family of RNA-binding proteins in neurodegeneration
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia in the elderly. It is associated to a progressive loss of memory, problems in learning and behaviour changes. This disease is characterized by the accumulation ...
Characterization of the role of TKTL1 in Acute Monocytic Leukaemia
Leukaemia is one of the types of cancer where treatment resistance is prevalent. Better understanding of leukemic cells metabolism opens possibilities for new therapeutic strategies and better prognosis stratification. ...
Characterization of the spectrum of cardiac adaptation to endurance exercise: Impact of gender and training load
The beneficial impact of regular physical activity on cardiovascular health is well established. However, the ideal amount of exercise required to provide these benefits is not well defined, with some recent reports showing ...
Characterization of the structure, stability, mechanical and electrochemical properties of metallic glasses
Metallic glasses are often referred as glassy or amorphous alloys. They lack long-range order and microstructural defects that are characteristics in crystals, such as grain and phase boundaries and dislocations. These new ...
Characterization of the translaminar cohesive law
When a fibre-reinforced composite laminate is subjected to traction or compression, it develops a relatively large Fracture Process Zone where material toughening mechanisms such as matrix cracking, ...
Characterization of two metallocarboxypeptidases of M14D subfamily from bacterial and human origin
Las metalocarboxipeptidasas (MCP) de la familia M14 catalizan la hidrólisis de aminoácidos del C-terminal de proteínas y péptidos. Nuestro grupo describió la subfamilia M14D o carboxipeptidasas citosólicas (CCP) a partir ...
Characterization of UL1, a member of the human cytomegalovirus RL11 gene family
In the present study, we have approached the molecular characterization of the HCMV specific UL1. To this end a HCMV (AD169-derived HB5 background) recombinant with an HA-epitope tagged UL1 and a mutant with a full UL1 ...
Characterization, design and re-optimization on multi-layer optical networks
L'augment de volum de tràfic IP provocat per l'increment de serveis multimèdia com HDTV o vídeo conferència planteja nous reptes als operadors de xarxa per tal de proveir transmissió de dades eficient. Tot i que les xarxes ...
Characterization, equation formulation and enhancement of phase change materials (PCM) for thermal energy storage (TES)
L’edificació, la indústria i el transport són els tres principals sectors consumidors d’energia, representant el 96 % de l’energia final consumida a la Unió Europea, i essent responsable de gairebé la totalitat de les ...
Characterization, improvement and application of plant elicitor peptides as new control tools against plant pathogens
La família de les Rosaceae comprèn espècies d’alta rellevància econòmica, com ho són les espècies de fruiters de clima temperat, ornamentals i medicinals. El seu cultiu, però, es veu limitat per la propagació de diversos ...
Characterizing and modeling web sessions with applications
This thesis focuses on the analysis and modeling of web sessions, groups of requests made by a single user for a single navigation purpose. Understanding how people browse through websites is important, helping us to ...
Characterizing and witnessing multipartite correlations : from nonlocality to contextuality
In the past century, experimental discoveries have witnessed phenomena in Nature which challenge our everyday classical intuition. In order to explain these facts, quantum theory was developed, which so far has been able ...
Characterizing brain mechanisms underlying Neurofeedback and Meditation through whole-brain computational modeling and artificial intelligence
En las últimas décadas, un cambio de paradigma en el estudio y el tratamiento de los trastornos cerebrales ha hecho que se preste más atención a nuevas intervenciones terapéuticas. En esta línea, las técnicas de autorregulación, ...
Characterizing Canine Glioma as a Naturally Occurring Model for Immune Evasion in Human Glioma
Els gliomes humans exploten vies inhibitòries del sistema inmune per suprimir la inmunitat antitumoral. Es urgent caracteritzar la contribució del sistema inmune a la biologia dels gliomes per poder desenvolupar noves ...
Characterizing cognitive aging through multimodal MRI and NIBS: influence of education and gene expression
The thesis entitled "Characterizing cognitive aging through multimodal MRI and NIBS: influence of education and gene expression" is based on the knowledge that the aging population is increasing throughout the world. This ...
Characterizing entanglement and quantum correlations constrained by symmetry
Entanglement and nonlocal correlations constitute two fundamental resources for quantum information processing, as they allow for novel tasks that are otherwise impossible in a classical scenario. However, their elusive ...
Characterizing online participation in civic technologies
This thesis constitutes one of the first investigations focused on characterizing online participation in civic technologies, a type of platform increasingly popular on the Internet that allows citizens new forms, on a ...
Characterizing the encoding of dynamical olfactory inputs in single olfactory sensory neurons to remote control larval chemotaxis by means of optogenetics
Animals have to deal with an environment presenting vast amounts of ever-changing sensory information. What features of this information flow are captured by the sensory system? My thesis work examines how signals ...
