Finite graphs, free groups and Stallings’ foldings
(2018-04-18)
[EN] The main goal of the work is to study some basic properties of free groups, by using group theory and topology. For this, graphs play a main role, since we will prove that the fundamental group of a connected graph ...

(2018-12-04)
Since the first Industrial Revolution and up to our current days, there has been an exponential growth in the power of technology over nature and over humanity. Simultaneously, the concern about the negative impact that ...
Revealing the molecular mechanism underlying inhibition of FAPs adipogenesis in co-culture with myotubes
(2018-04-18)
[EN] The characterization of the molecular mechanisms that control fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) differentiation into adipocytes when they are co-cultured with myotubes. FAPs are known to have a dual role in skeletal ...
Optimization of sperm concentration for in vitro production of mouse embryos
(2018-04-18)
[EN] In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an important technique developed from assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs). Although it has been investigated since years, some optimizations should be done in order to determinate ...
The Boltzmann distribution: Economic Applications
(2018-04-18)
[EN] This work is focused on two applications to economy of the Boltzmann probability distribution of statistical mechanics. The first one describes the distribution of money while the second one the allocation of CO2 ...

The phenomenon of drug consumption is not a solved problem. Cannabis is the illegal psychoactive drug with the highest prevalence in the world, in Europe, and in Spain; where the Basque Country registers the highest national ...
Atomic Force Microscopy: setting up the Peakforce Tapping and carrying out an initial run-through
(2018-10-23)
The use of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) has been a major step forward in the field of material characterization. Optical microscopy could only provide us two-dimensional images, whereas AFM brought us the next step: ...
