Quantified self: procesos de humanización y representación del dato en dispositivos wearable
El projecte de recerca té com a objectiu l'estudi dels processos d'humanització en els dispositius wearable. Ens referim a la tecnologia wearable com aquella formada pels dispositius tecnològics que vestim, polseres, ...
Quantifying external cost of air pollution and GHG emissions from private road transport in Catalonia using theory of planned behavior and contingent valuation
Internalizing environmental externalities is a market-driven approach to correcting people's private costs and benefits. One way of quantifying these externalities is estimating people’s willingness to pay (WTP) to reduce ...
Quantifying nanoscale carrier diffusion with ultrafast optical and photocurrent microscopy
Heat transport in solids is one of the oldest problems in physics, dating back to the earliest formulations of thermodynamics. The classical laws of heat conduction are valid as long as the observed time and length scales ...
Quantifying randomness from Bell nonlocality
The twentieth century was marked by two scientific revolutions. On the one hand, quantum mechanics questioned our understanding of nature and physics. On the other hand, came the realisation that information could be treated ...
Quantifying Risk using Copulae and Kernel Estimators
In this Thesis we addressed two very important themes related to quantitative risk management. On one hand, we provided relevant results about the analysis of extreme value distributions; on the other hand, we also presented ...
Quantifying the effects of soil and climate on grape and wine quality : applicaton in a viticultural zoning based on very detailed soil surveys
This study, carried out in vineyards of high quality wine production in Catalonia (Spain), aims to determine the suitability of very detailed soil surveys, based on Soil Taxonomy, for viticultural zoning purposes, and ...
Quantifying uncertainty in complex automotive crashworthiness computational models : development of methodologies and implementation in VPS/Pamcrash
The automotive industry is constantly involved in the development of new methodologies and projects with the aim of reducing costs. During the vehicle design process, one of the most significant cost arises from building ...
Quantifying variability in grape and wine quality: a multivariate analysis perspective
L’espectroscòpia d'infraroig (IR) és una tècnica analítica que proporciona una gran quantitat d'informació química de manera ràpida i no destructiva. Això ha impulsat la seva implementació en indústries (sobretot ...
Quantitative analyses of molecular and cellular features of brain development in the context of recent human evolution
[eng] In this thesis, we investigate molecular and cellular substrates of derived traits in our species, and do so under the hypothesis of a Homo sapiens species-specific brain ontogenetic trajectory as overarching framework. ...
Quantitative analysis of HER family proteins using mass spectrometry as a predictive tool of response to anti-HER therapies in breast cancer
Introducción: La expresión desregulada y la actividad de los miembros de la familia HER es frecuente en el cáncer de mama (CM). Hasta el 25% de CM sobreexpresan HER2. Los altos niveles de este oncogén, casi invariablemente ...
Quantitative assessments of radiation-induced toxicity and correlation with RTOG scales and biological equivalent dose in breast cancer
Antecedents: la toxicitat induïda per radiació (RIT) generalment s’avalua mitjançant inspecció i palpació. Donada la seva naturalesa subjectiva i no quantitativa, es requereixen mètodes objectius. L’objectiu és determinar ...
Quantitative dispersion analysis of leakages of flammable and/or toxic substances on environments with barriers or semi-confined
With the industrial and technological development of the present-day society, the presence of flammable and toxic substances has increased in a growing number of activities. Dispersion of hazardous gas releases occurring ...
Quantitative effects of heterogeneity in dynamic macroeconomics
The thesis studies quantitative implications of the real business cycle models with heterogeneous agents. The questions I ask are: First, Can the studied models not only replicate the aggregate time series facts but also ...
Quantitative equidistribution of Galois orbits of points of small height on the algebraic torus
El teorema de equidistribución de Bilu establece que, dada una sucesión estricta de puntos en el toro algebraico N-dimensional cuya altura de Weil tiende a cero, las órbitas de Galois de los puntos se equidistribuyen con ...
Quantitative historical hydrology in the eastern area of the Ebro River basin (NE Iberian Peninsula)
La hidrologia històrica quantitativa és una branca emergent de les ciències de la Terra que es basa en l’ús d’informació històrica (és a dir, informació produïda per les persones: documents, imatges, limnimarques) per a ...
Quantitative large-scale analysis of judicial decisions: judicial disruption and practices
In the past 30 years, technological advances in computation have allowed to storage, process, and analyze massive amounts of data resulting from all sorts of human activities. The ability to address these large-scale ...
Quantitative methods for electron energy loss spectroscopy
This thesis explores the analytical capabilities of low-loss electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), applied to disentangle the intimate configuration of advanced semiconductor heterostructures. Modern aberration corrected ...
Quantitative modelling of mouse limb morphogenesis
In this thesis we combine quantitative measurements of mouse limb morphogenesis and computer modelling to test a well established theory about the cellular mechanisms promoting limb elongation. A distally directed gradient ...
Quantitative nanoscale imaging of synaptic protein organization
The arrival of super-resolution techniques has driven researchers to explore biological areas that were unreachable before. Such techniques not only allowed the improvement of spatial resolution in images but also the ...
Quantitative proteomic approaches for the characterization of bacterial wilt resistance mechanisms in tomato. lnsights on the role of P69 subtilisin-like proteases in defense
The plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum is the causal agent of the devastating disease known as bacterial wilt. This disease affects more than 200 plant species in over 50 families, including economically important crops ...
