• Dual Inhibitors of PARPs and ROCKs

  Antolín Hernández, Albert, 1984-; Mestres i López, Jordi (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2018)

  Recent network and system biology analyses suggest that most complex diseases are regulated by robust and highly interconnected pathways that could be better modulated by small molecules binding to multiple biological ...
• Coordination in Catalan sign language: a syntactic account for conjunction

  Zorzi, Giorgia (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2018)

  Coordination is a syntactic structure that is attested and productive in both spoken and signed languages. In sign languages, this structure is primarily expressed asyndetically, that is not using manual markers, but rather ...
• Socio-economic variations in the mental health treatment gap for people with anxiety, mood, and substance use disorders: results from the WHO World Mental Health (WMH) surveys

  Evans-Lacko, S.; Alonso Caballero, Jordi; Thornicroft, Graham (Cambridge University Press, 2018)

  BACKGROUND:The treatment gap between the number of people with mental disorders and the number treated represents a major public health challenge. We examine this gap by socio-economic status (SES; indicated by family ...
• Altered brain functional connectivity and behaviour in a mouse model of maternal alcohol binge-drinking

  Cantacorps, Lídia; González-Pardo, Héctor; Arias, Jorge L.; Valverde Granados, Olga; Conejo, Nélida M. (Elsevier, 2018)

  Prenatal and perinatal alcohol exposure caused by maternal alcohol intake during gestation and lactation periods can have long-lasting detrimental effects on the brain development and behaviour of offspring. Children ...
• Treatment gap for anxiety disorders is global: results of the World Mental Health Surveys in 21 countries

  Alonso Caballero, Jordi; WHO World Mental Health Survey Collaborators (Wiley, 2018)

  Background: Anxiety disorders are a major cause of burden of disease. Treatment gaps have been described, but a worldwide evaluation is lacking. We estimated, among individuals with a 12‐month DSM‐IV (where DSM is Diagnostic ...
• Retractions onto series-parallel posets

  Dalmau, Víctor; Krokhin, Andrei; Larose, Benoit (Elsevier, 2008)

  The poset retraction problem for a poset P is whether a given poset Q containing P as a subposet admits a retraction onto P, that is, whether there is a homomorphism from Q onto P which fixes every element of P. We study ...
• Majority constraints have bounded pathwidth duality

  Dalmau, Víctor; Krokhin, Andrei (Elsevier, 2008)

  We study certain constraint satisfaction problems which are the problems of deciding whether there exists a homomorphism from a given relational structure to a fixed structure with a majority polymorphism. We show that ...
• On the overlap between bilingual language control and domain-general executive control

  Branzi, Francesca Martina, 1984-; Calabria, Marco; Boscarino, Maria Lucrezia; Costa, Albert (Elsevier, 2016)

• Competing engines of growth: innovation and standardization

  Acemoglu, Daron; Gancia, Gino; Zilibotti, Fabrizio (Elsevier, 2010)

• Why do emerging economies borrow short term?

  Broner, Fernando; Lorenzoni, Guido; Schumkler, Sergio L. (Wiley, 2013)

  We argue that one reason why emerging economies borrow short term is that it is cheaper than borrowing long term. This is especially the case during crises, as in these episodes the relative cost of long-term borrowing ...
• Las dimensiones sociales de la percepción de la energía nuclear. Un análisis del caso español (1960-2015)
