Store flyers have an extraordinary importance to marketing management and contribute to a retailer's performance (Ziliani and Ieva, 2015). They influence the intentions to visit a store, affect the purchase of advertised ...
Multidimensional forced-choice questionnaires can reduce the impact of numerous response biases typically associated with Likert scales. However, if scored with traditional methodology these instruments produce ipsative ...
La tesis es un estudio analítico de la obra literaria y teórica de la escritora afrocaribeña afincada en Canadá Marlene Nourbese Philip según teorías postcoloniales y posmodernas. <br/>Tras algunas consideraciones sobre ...
[eng] HR-positive/HER2-negative (HR+/HER2-) is the most common breast cancer type, and it is a molecular heterogenic disease. This heterogeneity has direct prognostic and predictive implications in both early and advanced ...
El propòsit d'aquesta investigació és mostrar com la caracterització del poètic ha de passar necessàriament per la qüestió Grècia–––modernitat, i com tal qüestió ajuda a aclarir les mútues implicacions del poètic amb la ...
The topics dealt with in this thesis are all part of the general problem of social consensus, namely how a convention flourish and decay and what motivates people to conform to it. Examples range from driving on the right ...
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) was identified more than 30 years ago. The challenges for the clinicians and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-infected individuals have changed over the years. Nowadays, viral ...
[eng] Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) offer a significant advantage in recapitulating key features related to tissue differentiation, morphogenesis and, conversely, human diseases. Taking advantage of their inherent ...
The human populations of the Mediterranean region have been thoroughly studied. Nonetheless, there are numerous aspects of their demographic and epidemiological history that remain uncertain to date. The growing use of ...
The visual analysis of humans is one of the most active research topics in Computer Vision. Several approaches for body pose recovery have been recently presented, allowing for better generalization of gesture recognition ...
Inflammatory bowel disorders – such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – are rising worldwide. A well-known feature of IBD is dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, characterized by a significant reduction of beneficial strains ...
The first block of this thesis deals with the study of the degradation process of tungsten catalytic filaments in the field of silicon deposition with the Hot Wire Chemical Vapour Deposition (HWCVD) technique. The development ...
Novel stategies are needed to improve the limited efficacy of current cancer therapies. High expectations are directed towards nanotechnology-based applications in cancer medicine. We have developed a drug delivery system ...
Hybrid bio-robotics is a discipline that aims at integrating biological entities with synthetic materials to incorporate features from biological systems that have been optimized through millions of years of evolution and ...
Monogenetic volcanism is characterized by a large diversity of eruptive styles, morphologies and deposits. Monogenetic landforms are the result of a complex merging of internal (magma composition, vesiculation) and external ...
The goal of this thesis is studying hydrodynamic effects on active colloidal suspensions. Hydrodynamic interaction is propagated through the fluid in which the colloids displace due to the flow they create during their ...
Conventional in vitro cell culture models do not possess the complexity that the native tissues offer. Because of this, the functional properties of the tissues are not properly mimicked, which causes poorly predictive ...
The shallow subsurface of the earth is an extremely important geological zone that yields much of our water resources, supports our agriculture and ecosystems. Safe and effective management of our natural resources is a ...
In the present thesis we focus on the two extremes of the wind speed – storms and atmospheric stilling – and analyse their impacts on lake environments and phytoplankton dynamics over short and long periods. As we realised ...
The large abundance of bacterial growth niches provide a rich diversity of bacterial traits. These are usually characterized using traditional microbiology research tools, and newer characterization techniques (which focus ...
