    König, Caroline Leonore (Date of defense: 2018-10-30)

    G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cell membrane proteins with a key role in regulating the function of cells. This is the result of their ability to transmit extracellular signals, which makes them relevant for ...

    Analysis of climate change impact on hydrological ecosystem services and water allocation in water scarce mediterranean river basins 

    Bangash, Rubab Fatima (Date of defense: 2014-04-03)

    The Mediterranean region appears to be particularly responsive to global and climate change, causing decrease in annual river flows and making the region most prone to an increase in drought hazard and water stress. This ...

    Analysis of co-ancestry links in modern and ancient human populations 

    Ferrando-Bernal, Manuel (Date of defense: 2021-07-09)

    The aim of this thesis is to apply Identity by Descent (IBD) methodology to identify ancestry connections among individuals from genetically similar populations. Recombination events diminish the likelihood to detect IBDs. ...

    Analysis of code-switching in Gibraltar 

    Moyer, Melissa G. (Date of defense: 1993-03-01)

    Analysis of consensus motions in proteins through molecular dynamics simulations 

    Jordà Bordoy, Luis (Date of defense: 2024-02-06)

    [eng] The understanding of proteins as dynamical entities rather than static structures marked a very significant advance in the interpretation of their functional role in life. The capacity of proteins to interact with ...

    Analysis of cooperation and electron delocalization in intermolecular hydrogen bonds 

    Guillaumes Domènech, Laia (Date of defense: 2015-06-15)

    This thesis presents different studies on hydrogen bonds that occur between two molecules. It is because of the biological importance of DNA that the base pairs, and other compounds with similar hydrogen bonds as these ...

    Analysis of creep crack growth in adhesively bonded joints under mode I loading 

    Meulman, Edwin (Date of defense: 2023-10-06)

    Adhesive bonds could replace more traditional mechanical joints, making structures lighter and smoother. Stresses are distributed over a larger area, and dissimilar materials can be bonded, accommodating differences in ...

    Analysis of developer-concessionaire rates for a proposed new private commercial port model 

    Roa Perera, Iván (Date of defense: 2016-09-21)

    This investigation presents a study of the rates that generate economic flows between developers and concessionaires in the port sector based on the hypothesis that a private developer purchases the land on the waterfront ...
