Alcoholism and the hepatic alcoholic illness are heterogeneous clinical entity. We still don't known why people become alcoholic. We also don't known why only a part of them develop the hepatic alcoholic illness. Since the environmental factors do not explain everything, the research efforts are studying the genetic determinants of people. This...

Mapa relacional geografia-gens

In according with our temperament we run the risk of being an addict. Investigators of the Institute of Neurosciences suggest that people who search constantly new sensations are potentially addicts. This conclusion is the fruit of a study produced with morphine and snooper rats.

Un estudi relaciona l'addicció i la tendència perseverant a explorar

Sometimes and without a clock we are capable to tell what time it is or to wake up an hour in particular. Scientists suspect that this skill is mechanized in some place of our body. Investigators of the Service of Neurology have stimulated and inhibited parts of the brain supposedly implied. The results discard the role of the prefrontal lobe...

Un marcapassos incrustat al cervell

A team of researchers of the UAB have developed a process which could increase the computer storage capacity. This application is due to the study of the magnetical properties of circular structures with submicrometrics size. By means of these tiny disks, the researchers have obtained "Exchange Biased Vortices", that could rise the magnetic...

Un nou procés de nanotecnologia pot augmentar la memòria dels ordinadors

To achieve an optimum, sure and clean industrial process is a challenge even now-a-days. It depends on several factors: macroscopic ones and those invisible to our eyes. Investigators of the ICMAB-CSIC at UAB are working at this level of approach. They closely study the physics and chemistry effects of industrial materials from a molecular...

Un model molecular que perfecciona processos industrials

The enlargement of the mountainous ranges ino the interior of the badges, far from his surface, is one of the failed subjects in the study of global tectonics. A team of investigators of the Department of Geology have demonstrated how a singular conjunction of superficial and deep processes have extended the intracontinental mountain ranges of...

Per què hi ha serralades a dins de les plaques tectòniques?

Heterogeneous photocatalisis has generated great interest at the prospect of new methods becoming avalaible that allow industrial sectors to control the generation of non-biodegradable, toxic contaminants. Researchers of the Unit of Chemistry and Physics of the UAB Department of Chemistry have made improvements by modifying TiO2 with Al (III)...
