Anaerobic co-digestion of agri-industrial waste for energy and agricultural valorization purposes
[eng] Anaerobic codigestion (AcoD) is the anaerobic degradation of two or more substrates with complementary properties. It is a waste treatment and recovery alternative that has shown better results than anaerobic digestion ...
Deposition Strategies for New Applications of Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing
[eng] The potential of CSAM has attracted the attention from the scientific community due to its advantages over other heat-focused AM methods, such as solid-state deposition, high deposition rates, ability to deposit ...
Computational Study on the Application of Two-Dimensional Materials in Heterogeneous Catalysis
[eng] Currently, global fossil fuel consumption is increasing, environmental problems are be- coming serious, new clean energy technologies are being actively explored. High-performance catalytic materials play a crucial ...
Computational modeling of inverting glycosyltransferase reaction mechanisms
[eng] Carbohydrates, often referred to as sugars, are essential biomolecules found in all living organisms. While they are well-known for their role in providing energy, carbohydrates also play critical roles in various ...
Presència, seguiment i impacte de microplàstics en aigües naturals i de consum
[cat] La presència de microplàstics a les aigües s’ha convertit en els darrers anys en un assumpte d’interès per a les autoritats i la ciutadania, i representa una preocupació creixent a escala mundial. Els microplàstics ...
Quorum Sensing as Potential Biomarker Targets to Diagnose Bacterial Infections
[eng] Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes infections in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with cystic fibrosis. This opportunistic pathogen is common in infections acquired ...
Electrochemical Conversion of Biomass-derived Chemical: Benzaldehyde
[eng] Developing advanced and efficient electrocatalytic energy conversion systems is of great and practical significance for propelling the efficient development of clean energy for the construction of new low-carbon power ...
Noves estratègies analítiques per a la determinació de contaminants orgànics en ocells
[cat] Aquesta Tesi s’ha centrat en l’ús de les aus marines i les rapinyaires com a espècies bioindicadores de contaminants orgànics ja que els acumulen a través de la dieta als seus teixits interns. S’han desenvolupat ...
Computational modelling of 2D carbon-based materials with tunable electronic properties
[eng] Organic semiconductors are versatile functional materials that are increasingly used in commercial electronic devices. However, their use in high performance applications is limited due to their low charge/spin carrier ...
Light control in active nematics
[eng] Living systems are composed of large number of active units that convert local chemical energy into motion. These active systems can be observed across scales, ranging from human crowds to cell cytoskeleton. The ...
Micro and nanoplastics in the environment: development of mass- quantitative analytical methodologies for the global impact assessment
[eng] Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPLs) are considered contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) due to their demetrial environmental and human health effects already reported in recent bibliography and because of current ...
First principles evaluation of structure and properties of multifunctional materials
[eng] Organic chemistry is recognized for its ability to arrange a limited set of atoms in numerous ways, a quality that is crucial in molecular magnetism. This branch benefits from the adaptability of organic chemistry ...

Anaerobic digestion of animal by-products: assessment of process limitations and opportunities in real pig slaughterhouses
[eng] Meat industry and particularly pig slaughterhouses produce huge amounts of animal by- products not intended for human consumption. This residual stream appears as a potential raw material for anaerobic digestion and ...
Computational modelling to study medium effect over molecules and biopolymers of interest in biomedicine
[eng] Computational simulation technologies facilitate the resolution of complex biomedical problems by helping researchers predict what will happen in a natural system in response to various external conditions. The main ...
Non-coding genome functions in cancer
[eng] Historically, cancer genomics has predominantly focused on coding regions. Current knowledge suggests that non-coding mutations are likely crucial in driving the mechanisms that regulate gene activity, potentially ...
Multiscale modelling of CO2 hydrogenation reactions on Ni-based catalysts
[eng] Global warming and climate change, mostly due to the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, are producing devastating effects. Among the different greenhouse gases, CO2 is one of the major ...
Forefront cold spray additive manufacturing development by leveraging new spraying strategies
[eng] Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process of creating a physical object by adding material layer by layer rather than removing material through machining. It is also known as 3D printing, as it typically involves using ...
Design and Synthesis of Bifunctional Compounds for Targeted Protein Degradation and Phosphorylation
[eng] In this doctoral thesis, the design and synthesis of bifunctional molecules that induce the degradation of a target protein in cells are described. The synthesis of molecules capable of inducing the phosphorylation ...
From Romanesque to Gothic: A compositional, morphological and formal study of medieval cultural heritage objects
[eng] The present PhD thesis is focused on the study of the compositional, morphological and formal characteristics of medieval cultural heritage objects, and more specifically manuscripts and champlevé enamels of Limoges, ...
