In a study focused on Catalunya, the researcher of the UAB, Laura Lamolla analyzes the political applied to stimulate the businesswomen's initiatives.
Electronic tongues are analytical systems which are used to recognise the chemical components in a liquid. For these systems to be able to decode information they need the aid of computers and applied artificial intelligence tools. In his doctoral thesis the researcher Jordi Gallardo Oña has...
Human activities have left his dark trace in the planet. Such is the case of the mining industry and his consequent soil contamination. In order to alleviate situations like this there exist several initiatives. The investigator of the UAB Gustavo Pérez has calibrated a complex system to measure the soil contamination, so that the...
Although invisible to our eyes, the chemical processes determine the biological cycles in which we are all immersed.
