Wildfire effects on macroinvertebrate communities in Mediterranean streams / Efectes dels incendis forestals sobre las comunitats de macroinvertebrats en rius Mediterranis
Wildfire effects on macroinvertebrate communities have not been intensively studied in other areas than the Western US, and the results in fire prone areas like NE Mediterranean and SE Australia are scarce. In this study, ...
Wildfire risk management in southern European landscapes: Towards a long‐term comprehensive strategy
Pocs incendis grans i destructius representen els impactes més negatius en els valors socioeconòmics i naturals de les zones mediterrànies. Com a conseqüència de l’augment de l’acumulació de biomassa en els paisatges ...
Wildland Fire Prediction based on Statistical Analysis of Multiple Solutions
En diferentes áreas científicas, el uso de modelos para representar sistemas físicos se ha tornado una tarea habitual. Estos modelos reciben parámetros de entradas representando condiciones particulares y proveen una salida ...
WIM-based modelling of traffic load scenarios for extreme load effects in long-span bridges
(English) During the lifetime of long-span bridges, the traffic conditions are affected by the surroundings and will typically vary and also unpredictably change. In this thesis, a prior site-specific traffic load spatial ...
Wind Field Retrieval from Satellite Radar Systems
Wind observations are essential for determining the atmospheric flow. In particular, sea-surface wind observations are very useful for many meteorological and oceanographic applications. In this respect, most of the satellite ...
Wind power supply chain: relevant aspects related to manufacturing and quality management
In recent years, supply chain management (SCM) has become of great importance as nowadays not only are businesses competing with each other, but so too are suppliers. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse some ...
Wind-driven currents in the coastal and equatorial upwelling regions
During the last two decades the scientific community has recognised the importance of the tropical Atlantic Ocean and the upwelling regions on the Earth's climate. This recognition has opened new questions such as: ¿What ...
Wine lees and their derived products to manage hypertension. Identification of their bioactive compounds and underlying mechanisms
Actualment la hipertensió (HTN) és un dels principals factors de risc de malaltia cardiovascular. L'ús de compostos antihipertensius naturals es consideren una bona estratègia per a la reducció de la pressió arterial (PA). ...
Wine yeast: the challenge of low temperature
Different aspects and disciplines have been enclosed in this thesis in order to unravel the effects of low temperature to wine yeast. Results enclosed in chapters 1st and 2nd of this thesis reveal original empirical data ...
Winter ecology of tits ("Paridae") in boreal and subalpine forests: social organisation and the role of food hoarding.
The main objective of this thesis is to analyse the variation in non-breeding social systems within the group of parids and to identify the main factors involved. More specifically, I studied the role of food hoarding on ...
Wireless multimedia sensor networks, security and key management
Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) have emerged and shifted the focus from the typical scalar wireless sensor networks to networks with multimedia devices that are capable to retrieve video, audio, images, as well ...
Wireless power transfer : fueling the dots
Resonant Inductive Coupling Wireless Power Transfer (RIC-WPT) has been proven to provide very high power transfer efficiencies (above 80%) for moderate distances, and is hence foreseen as a key technology to enable wireless ...
Wireless sensor networks in the future internet of things: density, mobility, heterogeneity and integration
Las redes de sensores inalámbricos están destinadas a revolucionar nuestra manera de vivir, trabajar y relacionarnos con el entorno. Aunque este tipo de redes ha estado en el foco de la investigación científica durante la ...
Wireless sensors embedded in high permittivity lossy media
The design of wireless sensors for operation embedded in a medium with high losses creates a series of additional constraints that should be taken into consideration at design stage to enhance sensor performance. In such ...
The wiring diagram of antennal lobe and mapping a brain circuit that controls chemotaxis behavior in the Drosophila larva
Drosophila larvae present unique opportunity for anatomical and functional mapping of their nervous system because of features such as numerical simplicity of neurons its nervous system is composed of, and ability to exhibit ...
Witnessing non-Markovian evolutions
The formulation of quantum physics stands among the most revolutionary theories of the twentieth century. During the first decades of this century, many phenomena concerning the microscopic world were unexplained or had ...
Wittgenstein y Gadamer: lenguaje, praxis, razón. El problema del pluralismo a través de la filosofía del lenguaje
El trabajo de investigación se propone medir la influencia y recepción de Wittgenstein y Gadamer en el debate del pluralismo teórico contemporáneo. El pluralismo se comprende como una pluralidad de marcos conceptuales ...
Wittgenstein y Heidegger: la crítica del sentido como inicio de la posmodernidad
El objetivo central de esta tesis doctoral es intentar establecer una aproximación entre los programas filosóficos de Wittgenstein y Heidegger, de forma particular, en lo que se refiere al grado de influencia de ambos con ...
Wladimiro Acosta y la vivienda colectiva (1928 - 1935) : su aporte a la innovación arqueológica y tipológica en América Latina
VVladimiro Acosta (WA) was a Russian architect with centro-european modem studies. His moving to Latin America in 1928 he meant one of the most significant contributions to Argentinian architecture. Since his arrival until ...
WNT and NOTCH: Joining Efforts to Maintain the Intestinal Homeostasis
Colorectal tumors with mutations on Wnt family members show an overexpression of several Notch target genes, suggesting a link between Wnt and Notch signaling pathways. In this work, we have demonstrated that there is ...
