El desenvolupament que han tingut recentment els programes d'alineació de corpus bilingües obre noves perspectives en l'estudi dels textos d'especialitat. La seva utilització permet contrastar i evidenciar diferències ...
«Allanar la voluntad. Delimitación de la intimidación como medio coactivo en los delitos sexuales» es una investigación tendiente a precisar un concepto al que frecuentemente recurren los legisladores penales para describir ...
Gene regulation orchestrates the development of different cell types and organs from the same genetic blueprint. While the basic mode of gene regulation is driven by transcription factors, there are a variety of other ...
Alternative splicing (AS) is a mechanism of post-transcriptional regulation that plays an important role during development and in the maintenance of stem cell pluripotency. The dynamics of AS regulation during somatic ...
Recent epidemiological evidence on effect of air pollution and pregnancy outcomes is inconsistent. Differences in study design, sample size, population characteristics, control for confounders, air pollution measurements ...
La presente tesis doctoral, que lleva por título La ambientalización del Derecho internacional humanitario, tiene como objeto analizar la protección que recibe el medio ambiente en tiempo de conflicto armado conforme al ...
Within Human-Computer Interaction, older people (60+) are often characterized as a heterogeneous group of consumers of digital content that use ICTs in a limited way due to age-related changes in functional abilities. By ...
This doctoral dissertation analyses the differences between young people with an immigrant background and natives (without an immigrant background) in educational expectations and the educational pathways chosen when ...
IEEE standardized a Layer-2 security, named Media Access Control security (MACsec), for interoperability. It provides link-based security through hop-by-hop operation. The link-constrained security of MACsec eliminates the ...
El procés de descobriment i desenvolupament de fàrmacs (DDD) és costós tant econòmic com temporalment, i el qual resulta en nivells d'èxit molt reduïts. Una gran quantitat de compostos son analitzats i molts descartats en ...
Until relatively recently, many groups of terrestrial reptiles were considered to contain only few species vastly distributed across the Arabian Peninsula. This was mostly the result of the apparent morphological uniformity ...
Cancer is a complex disease caused by somatic alterations of the genome and epigenome in tumor cells. Increased investments and cheaper access to various technologies have built momentum for the generation of cancer genomics ...
In the last decade recurrent neural networks have revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence. Their cyclic connections provide them with memory and thus with the capability of modeling processes with temporal ...
RNA is a molecule that is released by the different tissues into the circulation. When it is found in the circulation it is called cell-free RNA (cfRNA). This type of molecule has great potential as a noninvasive biomarker ...
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 ...
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. ...
Computational approaches for modeling expressive music performance have produced systems that emulate human expression, but few steps have been taken in the domain of ensemble performance. Polyphonic expression and ...
New approaches are needed to manage and analyze the enormous quantity of biological data generated by modern technologies. Existing solutions are often fragmented and uncoordinated and, thus, they require considerable ...
We have investigated genetic variation in microRNA-mediated regulation as a susceptibility factor for anxiety disorders following two different approaches. We first studied two isoforms of the candidate gene NTRK3 by ...
Natural selection has played an important role in shaping human genetic variation, thus, finding variants that have been targeted by positive selection can provide insights about which genes influence human phenotypic ...
