High-throughput Chromosome Conformation Capture (3C) techniques have provided a comprehensive overview of the genome architecture. Hi-C, a derivative of 3C, has become a reference technique to study the 3D chromatin structure ...
Depression is a major public health problem, affecting 322 million people worldwide. Antidepressants are the basis for the treatment of major depression. Although increasingly safer, individual patient response variability ...
Reading is an essential skill that plays a crucial role in our daily lives. It allows us to access information, gain knowledge, expand our understanding of the world around us, and build the foundation for learning, ...
Recently, multiliteracy has received lots of attention. Due to increased migration, globalisation and intermarriage, as of 2017, there are 203 Hoshukos (Japanese school located outside of Japan) spread across 56 different ...
Social media is a valuable platform for sharing real-time perspectives and insights, particularly during dynamic events. Extracting relevant information from social media during emergencies can be challenging, especially ...
Neurosurgery is evolving towards the use of minimally invasive procedures. In this dissertation, we present several tools designed to fulfill the multimodal and multidisciplinary requirements of Stereoencephalography (SEEG) ...
In the realm of second language acquisition of pronunciation, perception-based phonetic training has been shown to be effective in improving L2 perception and production. By incorporating the visual modality of the speaker’s ...
This thesis tackles a series of phenomena across diverse fields from the point of view of optimization. The problems studied often bring together diverse conflicting constraints that cannot be fully satisfied. Out of ...
This dissertation explores how multicultural individuals acculturate, and how their personality traits and cultural identifications relate to the content and the structure of their habitual personal social networks. I ...
This thesis focuses on the multiscale nature of the biological process that underpin the function of all living systems. A first project centers on the disease known as multiple sclerosis, and utilizes various datasets at ...
Cardiovascular diseases are nowadays one of the major causes of death in developed countries. Besides the already known risk factors such as lifestyle and genetics, there is a growing evidence that adverse remodelling ...
Numerous studies have shown that a wide range of behaviors from sensory processing to motor control involve near-optimal probabilistic inference. Most of these studies have focused on vertebrates, suggesting that the ability ...
New high-throughput behavioral systems enable the recording of continuous behavioral sequences with an unprecedented richness of signals and a deep temporal resolution. Automated systems offer neuroscience the opportunity ...
Esta tesis propone un juego de algoritmos que puede emplearse para computar estimaciones de las distintas facetas de complejidad que ofrecen señales musicales auditivas. Están enfocados en los aspectos de acústica, ritmo, ...
In the last decades, a growing number of studies have investigated the relationship between two unique abilities of humankind, music and language. Music and language share important structural similarities related to ...
Avui en dia, la música està esbiaixada cap al consum d'alguns artistes molt populars. Per exemple, el 2007 només l'1% de totes les cançons en format digital va representar el 80% de les vendes. De la mateixa manera, només ...
Music streaming platforms nowadays play an important role in music consumption and have a big influence on the musical taste of the listeners. Machine learning-based recommender systems are a fundamental part of such ...
We develop in this thesis a computational model of music expectation, which may be one of the most important aspects in music listening. Many phenomenons related to music listening such as preference, surprise or emo- tions ...
Interface metaphors are often used in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) to exploit knowledge that users already have from other domains. A commonly used one in Digital Musical Instruments (DMIs) is the conductor metaphor. ...
This thesis comprises comparative genomics analyses primarily focussing on the evolution of mammalian proteins. We concentrate on three species of direct relevance as model organisms, for which high quality genome sequences ...
