Vidal, María Sol(Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2024-04-19)
Organisms need to integrate its previous experience with its current internal state in order to deliver a suitable response to dynamic changes in their environment. This thesis is devoted to analyze, using a mathematical ...
Carrasco Armijo, José Ignacio(Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2023-11-14)
This thesis touches upon three subjects within international migration, namely: immigrants’ labour market incorporation, dynamics of remittances behaviour, and the role of migrant networks as an underlying mechanism of ...
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 ...
Kennedy, Keith Endres(Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2023-06-27)
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 ...
The intrinsic complexity and dynamic nature of B-lymphocytes make them ideal for in-depth analysis using single-cell technologies. Secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) are central in B-lymphocyte activation and differentiation, ...
Bilingual infants acquire words at a similar rate as monolingual ones, despite navigating a more
intricate linguistic environment. The mechanisms behind this phenomenon remain elusive. Our
project addressed the potential ...
The current doctoral thesis aims to know which individual and contextual factors determine risky alcohol consumption among adolescents, and concretely, to study the differences of consumption between rural and urban areas ...
Living beings strive to survive and reproduce. To do so they need to monitor and adapt to a dynamic environment, taking advantage of the opportunities and dodging the threats that they may encounter. This thesis is devoted ...
San José Plana, Adrià(Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2024-04-19)
The primary goal of this PhD is to deepen our understanding and improve the modeling capacity of zoonotic spillover, the multilevel process by which pathogens manage to overcome a series of natural barriers and infect other ...
Ibáñez Soria, David(Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2018-10-31)
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 ...
The rapid increase in urbanization underscores the need for healthy urban environments. Presently, European cities experience high levels of air pollution, noise, lack of green spaces, and increased local temperatures, all ...
Esta tesis tiene como objetivos evaluar el entorno alimentario alrededor de las escuelas de Barcelona en términos de proximidad y disponibilidad de establecimientos alimentarios y su relación con el nivel socioeconómico ...
During the last century the nervous system has been mainly studied from a reductionistic approach, based on the hypothesis that understanding in depth single neurons or limited neuronal populations would lead to general ...
In this Thesis we have studied how dynamics and space modulate cellular behaviour, by means of mathematical modelling of particular biological examples. At the single cell level, we show how pulsatile input signals can be ...
Bacterial proliferation has been studied for more than 100 years, but
our knowledge of the mechanisms that control its dynamical aspects
is still very limited. In this Thesis we have studied, at both singlecell
and population ...
One of the branches of synthetic biology pursues the creation of a biological computer. Many have successfully implemented simple logic circuits rewiring cellular components. However, these circuits may aggressively compete ...
Single-cell genomics methods have revolutionized the study of gene expression and regulation at the cell type level. Generating single-cell atlases for species at key phylogenetic positions of the animal tree of life (e.g.. ...
Blair, David Sutherland(Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2023-05-18)
The past decade has seen several attempts to employ the entropy of neuroimaging signals as a potential biomarker for cognitive decline or traumatic brain injury (C. Y. Liu et al. 2013; Adhikari et al. 2017; Li et al. 2018). ...
Lo Giudice, Ivan(Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2023-07-04)
Joan Estelrich Artigues (Felanitx 1896 – París 1958) es un personaje histórico ideal para
acercarse al estudio de los nacionalismos españoles y, al mismo tiempo, observar la
manera en la que el catalanismo de entreguerras ...
Agents make decisions under uncertainty. They are not only uncertain about the
true realizations of variables of interest, but also about their degree of uncertainty.
Using survey of business uncertainty, I study firms’ ...
