The present dissertation was inspired by the increasing interest in task sequencing in L2 syllabus design, on the one hand, and the lack of empirical studies, on the other hand, where task sequencing and its effects on L2 ...
Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of the blastocyst and have the capacity for unlimited proliferation while retaining their potential to differentiate into a wide variety of cell types ...
One way of structuring the huge amount of sound input reaching the human ear, is extracting sound objects, which are formed by stimuli having a certain regularity in common. Mismatching stimuli are detected pre-attentively ...
[eng] Cancer is a heterogeneous disease, in which many cell types interact with cancer cells, forming a complex network. The crosstalk between the cancer cells and the immune microenvironment is determinant in tumor growth ...
In most human cancers, the c-Myc transcription factor is deregulated and/or its levels are elevated, particularly in colorectal cancer (CRC). Earlier studies suggested a direct relationship between ribosome biogenesis and ...
The human Tousled-like kinases 1 and 2 (TLKs) are predicted serine/threonine kinases that show maximal activity in S phase and are transiently inhibited by the DNA damage response (DDR). Both TLKs interact with and ...
[eng] How do we recognize that “I” am the one acting upon the world? This experience of knowing oneself as the author of our actions and their consequences, the sense of agency, is a basic feature of our subjective experience. ...
The main aim of the thesis is to give a semantic account of implicit content – the kind of content that plays a crucial role in implicit communication. Implicit communication is a species of communication in which a speaker ...
The thesis is an inquiry into the social and cultural implications of the Bahian Capoeira teachers’ transnational mobilities and consequent immobilities. Following the trajectories of young male teachers -in different ...
The region GGD 27, located in Sagittarius at a distance of 1.7 kpc, is an active star forming region. The most well-known observational signature of this region, the HH 80/81/80N jet, is one of the largest collimated jet ...
In this thesis I present a geophysical study that aims to define the structure and petrological nature of the main geological domains in the Central Tyrrhenian basin, and to investigate the mechanisms involved in their ...
The embryo in grasses, at grain maturity, comprises the embryonic axis and the scutellum. The scutellum is supposed to be the single cotyledon in the monocotyledoneus embryos and is attached to the embryo axis in the ...
The Taiwan thrust belt is generally thought to develop above a shallow, through-going basal detachment confined to within the sedimentary cover of the Eurasian continental margin. A number of data sets, however, such as ...
One of the roles who teachers have is that of organizer of activity and in subject matters that are rather practical by nature, like the teaching of a foreign language is, this role as elicitor of activity is even more ...
The present doctoral thesis is focused on the metabolic adaptations induced by oncogene activation as well as the potential role of the metabolic network as antitumor therapy. Over the last years, it has emerged a renewed ...
This doctoral thesis was focused on the design and synthesis of novel chiral ligands for application in asymmetric catalysis. One of the best examples of asymmetric catalysis is the asymmetric hydrogenation reaction for ...
[eng] Our dissertation is based on the research of the abusive supervision (AS) phenomenon at the workplace. Since 2000, AS literature demonstrates the importance to investigate the antecedents and negative consequences ...
The Tousled like kinases 1 and 2 (TLK1 and TLK2) are evolutionarily conserved Ser/Thr kinases that are required for genome stability and normal development in numerous organisms. Both kinases contribute to histone deposition ...
[eng] Proper B cell identity demands a tight controlled genomic and epigenomic landscape at each stage of cellular differentiation during B lymphocyte development. It has been previously identified in our group that HDAC7 ...
This PhD Thesis describes the kinematics of the Burgalesa Platform in the Basque-Cantabrian Pyrenees by the integration of i) surface geology; ii) seismic and well data; and iii) vertical axis rotation paleomagnetic studies. ...
