En estructures pretesades sotmeses a ambients corrosius, s'està estudiant la possibilitat de substituir els tendons d’acer per tendons que no pateixin els efectes de la corrosió. En aquest sentit, els materials compostos ...
Llorente Lope, Carolina (Date of defense: 2020-11-27)
The main objective of this thesis is to improve understanding of citizen participation in science in Spain. Specifically, it analyses the characteristics of current participatory practices and the opinions and attitudes ...
Fernández Golbano, Isabel M. (Date of defense: 2012-12-14)
S. cerevisiae (budding yeast) is particularly powerful to study the relation between the molecular mechanisms of actin regulation and its biological significance due to its powerful molecular and genetic methods, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

En els darrers 15 anys, l'estudi de l'agregació de proteïnes ha evolucionat de ser una part de la química de proteïnes que tradicionalment generava poc interès, a convertir-se en una àrea d'investigació dinàmica que ha ...
Ortí Pascual, Guillermo (Date of defense: 2021-04-22)
El trasplantament al·logènic de cèl·lules hematopoètiques (AloTPH) és una estratègia terapèutica major per al tractament de neoplàsies malignes hematològiques. Mitjançant l’efecte d’empelt contra leucèmia que aporta el ...
Rius Camps, Nuria (Date of defense: 2016-01-15)
Los elementos transponibles son unidades genéticas capaces de insertarse en otras regiones de los genomas en los que habitan y están presentes en casi todas las especies eucariotas estudiadas. El interés del análisis de ...
