Assembly of colloidal nanocrystals into porous nanomaterials
This thesis focuses on different aspects of NCs colloidal synthesis, the exploration of the relevant surface chemistries that afford NC assembly and the NC implementation into porous nanomaterials. The work is divided ...
Asserting as Commitment to Knowing. An Essay on the Normativity of Assertion
In this thesis, I propose and defend a theory according to which committing oneself to knowing the proposition expressed counts as an assertion of that proposition. A consequence of this view is the knowledge account of ...
Assesing the effects of Global Change on ecological water quality of Mediterranean river basins
Les conques fluvials mediterrànies estan subjectes a una gran demanda d’aigua per tal de satisfer les necessitats d’una població en continu creixement i d’altres activitats antropogèniques relacionades com la industrial, ...
Assesing variations in urban air quality when introducing on-road traffic management strategies by means of high-resolution modelling: application to Barcelona and Madrid urban areas
La contaminación del aire urbano tiene efectos negativos en la salud humana, los ecosistemas y se asocia con el transporte de contaminantes a larga distancia. La región del sur del Mediterráneo y en concreto la Península ...
Assesment of the role of mediterranean agriculture as a carbon sink and diagnosis of climate change impacts: a baseline for exploring adaptation and mitigation strategies
La agricultura és l’activitat humana més afectada pel canvi climàtic, i, actualment, està fortament impactada a la conca Mediterrània. No obstant això, el segrest i emmagatzematge de carboni a la biomassa de cultius llenyosos ...
Assessing and mitigating bycatch in the artisanal longline fisheries of the Mediterranean = Avaluació i mitigació de les captures accidentals d'ocells marins en la pesca artesanal de palangre del Mediterrani
La mortalitat per captura accidental en les pesqueres de palangre representa una de les principals amenaces per a nombroses espècies d’ocells marins a nivell mundial. En el Mediterrani, aquesta mortalitat esta afectant ...
Assessing biases through mosaic attributions
(English) Machine learning and, more specifically, deep learning applications have grown in number in recent years. These intelligent systems have shown remarkable performance across various domains, including sensitive ...
Assessing building’s rooftop potential to integrate food, water, and energy systems: The use of remote sensing technology and perceptual aspects in a Mediterranean region
Els terrats representen espais potencials a les ciutats per integrar sistemes que puguin subministrar aliments, aigua i energia als ciutadans. La producció de recursos en les ciutats aporta beneficis ambientals, socials i ...
Assessing circularity in organisations. Measurement, monitoring and communication in the university context.
The transition to a circular economy represents one of the most significant challenges for society. Educational institutions, as organisations dedicated to education, research and community services, play a key role in ...
Assessing citizens’ responses to media and information literacy competencies through an online course: an empirical study and critical comparative analysis of experts’ views
Societal opportunities and challenges, whether they are personal, socio-political or cultural, are information-dependent in one way or another. Minimising the challenges and maximising the opportunities depend on the quality ...
Assessing creativity in computer music ensembles: a computational approach
Over the last decade Laptop Orchestras and Mobile Ensembles have proliferated. As a result, a large body of research has arisen on infrastructure, evaluation, design principles and compositional methodologies for Computer ...
Assessing debris-flow hazard focusing on statistical morpho-fluvial susceptibility models and magnitude-frequency relationships. Application to the central-eastern Pyrenees
Occurrence of debris flows has received little attention in the Pyrenees, probably due to the small risk faced by most of the debris-flow prone sites in this mountain range. Nevertheless, the event of Biescas, which occurred ...
Assessing Diagnostic and Therapeutic Targets in Obesity-Associated Liver Diseases
Les alteracions hepàtiques, com la malaltia del fetge gras no alcohòlic (NAFLD) i l'esteatohepatitis no alcohòlica, o NASH, s'associen freqüentment amb l'obesitat. L'absència de marcadors no invasius per al diagnòstic de ...
Assessing global change impacts on fire regimes in Mediterranean ecosystems
Els règims d’incendis estan canviant o s’espera que ho facin sota la influència del canvi global, amb impactes potencialment adversos per als ecosistemes i la societat. L’objectiu principal d’aquesta tesis és incrementar ...
Assessing human growth hormone variants to determine their potential relevance in anti-doping and clinical analysis
Human growth hormone (GH) participates in human longitudinal growth, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, and comprises a remarkably number of proteins with similar sequences, generated either genetically or post-translationally, ...
Assessing interventions to improve adherence to reporting guidelines in biomedical research
The lack of transparency and accuracy of research reports has been pointed out as one of the main factors causing research waste. Reporting guidelines (RGs) are sets of recommendations for authors on how to report research ...
Assessing leisure time physical activity (ltpa) experience in urban. Stream corridors: a baseline for inclusive ltpa promotion
Leisure-Time Physical Activity (LTPA) in urban stream corridors is of paramount importance for health and wellbeing promotion among urban dwellers. LTPA experience, namely how (what, with whom, when and where) and why LTPA ...
Assessing metabolic plasticity in diet-induced obese mice upon lifestyle intervention. An integrative approach
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is the metabolic disorder that accounts for the presence of hyperglycemia within insulin resistance (IR). The International Diabetes Federation estimated in 2013 that 382 million people (8.3% ...
