EEG and MEG evidence of a predominant number code in bilinguals and its significance for developmental dyscalculia
(2017-07-11)
When talking about bilinguals it is evident that they manage with two codes for the language. However, bilinguals also manage two codes for the representation of numerical facts and, even balanced bilinguals, have a ...
Enhancing sampling in computational statistics using modified hamiltonians
(2016-11-18)
The Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) method has been recognized as a powerful sampling tool in computational statistics. In this thesis,we showthat performance ofHMCcan be dramatically improved by replacing Hamiltonians in ...
The role of seas as a geographical barrier for migratory landbirds. An approach to the Bay of Biscay.
(2016-11-24)
The East-Atlantic flyway represents one of the main bird migration routes worldwide, comprising the Bay of Biscayas an inherent geographical barrier. So far, the significance of the Bay of Biscay for migrants and its ...
Elementary reactive processes of nitrogen and hydrogen on metal surfaces: A theoretical study
(2016-12-16)
We present a theoretical study of elementary reaction take place at solid surfaces. Calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) were performed to obtain the minimum energy structure of the Fe(111) surface as well ...
The economics of climate finance
(2017-04-24)
En el Acuerdo de Copenhague (2009), los países de desarrollados se comprometieron a movilizar 100.000 millones de dólares anuales para apoyar la acción climática en los países en desarrollo a partir de 2020. Desde entonces, ...
Different approaches to obtain poly(lactic acid) based compounds for semidurable applications
(2017-06-20)
This thesis aims to expand the current scientific knowledge concerning polylactide and the different approaches which could lead to get over its limiting properties, i.e.: brittleness and thermal resistance; and the ...
Supervised and unsupervised investigation of the temporal dynamics of normal and pathological behaviour in the mouse and rat
(2017-09-22)
Modern neuroscience highlights the need for designing sophisticated behavioral readout of internal cognitive states. From a thorough analysis of classical behavioral test, my results supports the hypothesis that sensory ...
Theoretical simulations of nanoconfined water
(2017-06-05)
El objetivo de esta tesis es el estudio de las propiedades del agua bidimensional por simulacionescomputacionales. Lo hacemos basándonos en dinámica molecular utilizando potenciales empíricos ycálculos de primeros principios. ...
Impunity: in the search of a socio-legal concept elucidations from a state crime case study
(2017-09-25)
La presente investigación problematiza, caracteriza y conceptualiza el fenómeno de la impunidad desde una perspectiva socio-jurídica. A través del análisis de un tipo particular de criminalidad (el crimen de Estado) y del ...
Metabolic implications and characterization of hepatic extracellular vesicles in drug-induced liver injury
(2015-07-28)
El daño hepático inducido por drogas (DILI) es un grave problema en las sociedadesdesarrolladas, siendo el responsable de más del 50% de los casos de fallo hepático agudo. Unárea de gran interés, tanto en el diagnóstico ...
