Aneuploidy, defined as a chromosome number that deviates from a multiple of the haploid set, is a common feature in human cancer, and around 70% of human solid tumours are aneuploid. The resulting metabolic imbalance is ...
Infant and child mortality have played a crucial role in health transition patterns and both have been considered as good indicators of development and demographic modernization. The establishment of the Millennium Development ...
Evolutionary Biology offers a set of methods and theories to elucidate the evolutionary processes that lead to the diversification of life. With the development of sequencing technologies, the access to genetic data has ...
The Industry 4.0 revolution is undergoing a profound transformation due to the unstoppable digitalization of our society. This historic dynamic is characterised by hyperconnectivity, where the Technosphere, the natural ...
In an increasingly competitive world driven by fast changes, where resources are limited and where stakeholders are more and more demanding, societies, from individuals to companies and governments, are challenged to pursue ...
Animal migration is an amazing widespread phenomenon that forms an essential component of the animal life history. Animals usually migrate to take advantages of changes in resource availability in space and time or to find ...
[eng] Our knowledge on the molecular basis behind physiological angiogenesis has significantly expanded in the last two decades. This progress also led to improvement in understanding of many vascular-related diseases in ...
The guiding theme of this thesis is the empirical analysis of recent food price behavior. It is composed of three applied studies that address the impacts of energy prices on both food price levels and volatility, as well ...
The degradation of natural diversity results in the erosion of key systemic properties such as resilience, or the capacity to recover from disturbances. Resilience loss leads to an increase in the fragility and vulnerability ...
Understanding the mechanisms and processes driving biological com- munities assembly, i.e. determining why a specific community is found under certain circumstances, is one of the fundamental questions in ecology. The ...
Understanding the connection between DNA organization in the nucleus, and cell functioning is one of the most intriguing problems in biology. Although many interdisciplinary efforts have been developed for this aim, the ...
[eng] Atmospheric aerosol particles are key for regulating Earth’s atmosphere processes, and are estimated to present an overall cooling effect on the Earth’s climate. Given the current climate change crisis, and the need ...
Obesity prevalence is higher in Down syndrome (DS) than in the general population. Beyond metabolic alterations, individuals with DS present increased impulsivity, a trait observed in obese people and in compulsive eaters ...
The structure and stability of molecules, the formation of supramolecular aggregates in the solid state or in solution and, therefore, many chemical and biological processes in which they participate depend heavily on ...
This thesis is focused in the processes that took place in the Tyrrhenian Sea, which is a Neogene basin belonging to the Western Mediterranean realm. Its formation is related with the subduction system of the African plate ...
The main goal of the present thesis has been to shed light into the processes that shape the genetic diversity of organisms, focussing in the following factors: the type of reproduction, the morphological diversity of ...
Electronic noses (e-noses) have been utilized during the past three decades as general purpose instruments for chemical sensing. These instruments are inspired by natural olfactory systems, where fine odour discrimination ...
The research work presented in this thesis aims to understand the transport mechanism of two described BBB-shuttles, THRre and MiniAp-4. To achieve these objectives, different techniques have been used as solid phase peptide ...
En esta de investigación se analiza el tratamiento lexicográfico de las locuciones verbales en tres diccionarios que registran léxico diferencial del español de Costa Rica; dos de ellos dedicados exclusivamente a esta ...
A high disciplinary specialization and development of context-specific languages in sport science has promoted its current fragmentation and a lack of communication and transfer of knowledge among scientists. However, ...
