\section{Note on conventions used}
Text included verbatim from reviewed publications  marked using a colored vertical bar on the right or left side of the text.
Where appropriate, I have slightly modified and unified the original text (in a
way not changing the meaning) to make the thesis coherent and easy to read.

\vspace{1em}
\noindent Here is an example of how paragraphs are marked to indicate a verbatim copy.
It means that starting from this point, the text appeared in the papers [X] and [Y].
\cbstart
\MARK{\textbf{[X]}\\\textbf{[Y]}}
