La enfermedad de Chagas es una patología causada por el parásito protozoario Trypanosoma cruzi y afecta aproximadamente a 7 millones de personas en todo el mundo. Los fármacos disponibles nifurtimox (NFX) y benznidazol (BNZ) presentan baja eficacia y efectos adversos. Con el objetivo de encontrar...

In the last few years evidence has been growing that the structure of the Galactic Bulge is very complex. Several independent studies suggest the presence of more than one stellar populations in the bulge, with different origins and a relative fraction changing across the bulge area. To character...

Somatolactin (SL), a fish hypophyseal hormone involved in background adaptation, reproduction and fatty acid metabolism might be affected by estrogenic endocrine disruptor compounds. Two sl transcripts were detected in pituitary of Cyprinus carpio, slα and slβ, with only about 47,6% identity of c...

The coastal zone of the Antarctic Peninsula is considered an area of high biological richness, where a high primary productivity is key to sustain a high biomass of zooplankton and other trophic levels of the marine food web. The main goal of this work was to study coastal abiotic conditions that...

La zona costera de la Península Antártica se considera un área de gran riqueza biológica, donde una alta productividad primaria es clave para sostener altas biomasas de zooplancton y otros grupos de la trama trófica marina. El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue estudiar las condiciones abióti...

Recent studies describe a new mechanism of intercellular communication mediated by secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs). Exosomes are small EVs (sEVs) released to the extracellular environment by the fusion of the endosomal pathway-related multivesicular bodies (containing intraluminal vesicles)...

Eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUSs) are distinguished from other systems by the recurrent fertilizing effect of wind-induced upwelling processes, which stimulate a high productivity in coastal areas. Among the main EBUSs in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, some of them have been insufficie...

In this thesis we study the rational Cherednik algebra attached to the complex reflection group G(r,1,2). Each irreducible representation of G(r; 1; 2) corresponds to a standard module for the rational Cherednik algebra. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of morphisms ...
