Full textDiatoms (Stramenopiles, Bacillariophyceae) are an ecologically important and one of the most diverse phytoplanktonic groups, with an estimated ~1,800 marine planktonic species. Although widely studied, their diversity and biogeographic distribution patterns are not well known. The advent of high-throughput DNA sequencing has revolutionized molecular biodiversity studies facilitating the understanding of biogeography, community assembly and ecological processes. The two major goals of this thesis are (1) to investigate global biodiversity patterns and structure of marine planktonic diatom communities across the world’s oceans, and (2) to understand the mechanisms and processes determining their community structure and assembly. This thesis also presents an initial attempt to discern the distribution of rare species in protist communities. The study was conducted using the metabarcoding data generated from the biological samples and associated environmental data collected during the Tara Oceans (2009-2013) global circumnavigation covering all major oceanic provinces. A total of ~12 million diatom V9-18S rDNA tags from 46 sampling stations, constituting 293 size fractionated samples represent the study material for the thesis. Using 63,371 unique diatom metabarcodes, this study presents an in-depth evaluation of global diatom distribution and diversity. The analyses study draw a number of revelations related to diatom biogeography, e.g. a new estimate of the total number of planktonic diatom species, a considerable unknown diversity, exceptionally high diversity in the open ocean, complex diversity patterns across oceanic provinces. The thesis then looks into the factors determining the beta-diversity patterns. The results suggest that diatoms represent biogeographically structured ecological communities regulated by both environmental heterogeneity and spatial processes. Nonetheless, the majority of the total variation in community composition remained unexplained by either the examined measured environmental factors or spatial distances, which warrants future analyses focusing on biological interactions, historical events, and other factors that are not considered. The thesis further outlines an approach to characterize significantly associated clusters of co-occurring ribotypes. Finally, a preliminary study of size-fractionated protistan communities reveals that the tail (of their rank-abundance distributions) appears to follow a power-law behavior in almost all protistan communities. This observation may indicate a potential universal mechanism which can explain the organization of marine planktonic communities. In general, this work has presented a global comprehensive perspective on diatom distribution and diversity in the world’s oceans. The thesis offers an overall framework for metabarcoding-based global diversity assessments which in turn can be employed to study distribution and diversity of other taxonomic lineages. Consequently, this work provides a reference point to explore how microbial communities will respond/change in response to environmental conditions

Full textGiftedness has been extensively examined in children and adolescents, whereas fewer papers have been published on the same group in adulthood. As suggested by the National Association for Gifted Children (2010), giftedness refers to “outstanding levels of aptitude (defined as an exceptional ability to reason and learn) or competence (documented performance or achievement in top 10% or rarer) in one or more domains (such as intellectual, creative, artistic, leadership, or academic)”. This dissertation has examined the gifted group composed of individuals with high intellectual aptitude (i.e. intelligence test scores equal to or greater than 130) rather than who have obtained concrete life achievements. Over the last century, high intelligence has been often considered a “winning card” because strong relationships have been found with better physical health, psychological adjustment and more prestigious job position. Recently, this position has been challenged because empirical evidences have shown that people with extraordinary intellectual abilities reported higher levels of affective dysregulation, attentional and hyperactivity deficit, autism spectrum disorders, and immune disorders. The present dissertation aims to approach these issues, exploring cognitive, personality, and emotional functioning of intellectually gifted individuals in adulthood, applying the principles of the Multimethod Assessment Approach. In the Chapter 1, intellectual giftedness has been defined according to the CHC model. Then, I have examined cognitive profile of gifted adults; pattern of their performance (i.e. what is the best indicator of superior intelligence?); and scores variability across different domains. In the Chapter 2, I have examined personality traits and emotional regulation of gifted individuals according to developmental psychology and psychopathology theories. I have considered an updated version of the disharmony hypothesis in order to describe how vulnerabilities and developmental maladjustments may result from inadequate responses of the environment (e.g., friends, teachers, parents, society) to gifted individuals’ unique needs. In the Chapter 3, I have examined emotional intelligence (EI), both as a set of intellectual abilities and of personality traits. I have conducted an exploratory study to test whether gifted adults showed similar results to those obtained by gifted students, and the investment model of EI which describes the relationships between crystallized and emotional intelligence. In conclusion, I have combined results from the three chapters according to multiple lenses analysis (Lilienfeld, 2017) and I have described similarities and differences of this group in genetic, psychological, and sociocultural aspects compared to the general population.
Harding, Kevin. "A generic approach to environmental assessment of microbial bioprocesses through life cycle assessment (LCA)." Doctoral thesis, University of Cape Town, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5324.
Full textIncludes bibliographical references.
The intrinsic environmental advantages of industrial scale bioprocesses over chemical processes remain a discussion point owing to limited objective analysis. Studies to date are often limited to energy or global warming considerations with little regard for full Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analyses. This, in part, may be owing to the difficulty in obtaining the material and energy balance inventory required for such assessment at an early stage in process development. However, these studies are important in designing and selecting environmentally beneficial processes for the conversion of renewable resources to commodity and energy products. The overall objective of the thesis is to obtain the data required to perform these LCA analyses. To achieve the overall objective, the thesis presents a methodology to obtain the material and energy balance data estimates required for the LCA of industrial bioprocesses through a generic flowsheet model. The flowsheet was presented as a MS-Excel spreadsheet allowing aerobic or anaerobic production of intra- or extracellular products using batch or continuous microbial processes. A database presented in the model facilitates the use of a variety of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus inputs and provides relevant constants and physical data. Typically downstream processing units were taken into account and included downstream chemical inputs (reacting or inert). The model was built using a stoichiometric approach, first principles and rules of thumb.

Full textEl riesgo asociado con deslizamientos de origen natural o artificial depende de la predicción del comportamiento posterior a la rotura de la masa movilizada. Actualmente se están desarrollando modelos numéricos capaces de integrar la geometría del deslizamiento y su evolución, la interacción hidromecánica acoplada y las propiedades del suelo en el contexto de fuerzas dinámicas y grandes desplazamientos. Esta tesis es una contribución a este esfuerzo. En este sentido, el método del punto material (MPM) es especialmente adecuado para analizar deslizamientos con grandes desplazamientos. Este procedimiento numérico debe ir acompañado de ensayos bajo condiciones controladas para poder comprobar y calibrar la respuesta numérica. En esta tesis se evalúan las capacidades del código MPM desarrollado, mediante la modelación de ensayos de laboratorio a escala con grandes desplazamientos. Para lograr una adecuada comparación de los resultados experimentales y numéricos, se analizan los experimentos mediante la interpretación de imágenes digitales secuenciales del movimiento del medio granular durante el ensayo (técnica PIV). Con este fin, se desarrolla un procedimiento novedoso para la obtención del campo de deformaciones en el tiempo y el seguimiento de la trayectoria de las partículas de forma idónea para la comparación con resultados numéricos calculados en MPM. El principal objetivo de la tesis fue el desarrollo de una herramienta potente de cálculo capaz de simular el comportamiento de los deslizamientos desde la rotura inicial hasta la fase de post-rotura incluyendo efectos térmicos que determinan la evolución del movimiento. Para esto, se desarrolla e implementa una formulación para problemas no isotérmicos acoplados con el comportamiento hidráulico y mecánico en MPM. Esta formulación incluye la disipación del trabajo friccional en forma de calor, lo cual ocurre principalmente en las bandas donde se localiza la deformación de corte. Este fenómeno descrito es fuertemente dependiente con el espesor de la banda de corte y esto se traduce en una fuerte dependencia de los resultados numéricos en MPM con la malla de discretización empleada. En esta tesis se presenta un novedoso procedimiento para solventar este problema. Por último se presenta la modelación del movimiento ocurrido en el deslizamiento rápido de Vajont (Italia 1963). Se introduce un modelo 2D en deformación plana sin una definición "a priori" de la superficie de deslizamiento. De hecho, generalizando los trabajos hechos anteriormente, los materiales movilizados no se restringen a solidos rígidos interconectados a lo largo de una superficie de contacto predefinida y la generación de calor no se limita a una única superficie predefinida. Así, los procesos de interacción térmica se desarrollan en todo el modelo en función de la localización e intensidad de las deformaciones.

Full textEl MNGIE es una enfermedad metabólica rara causada por mutaciones recesivas en el gen TYMP, el cual codifica la enzima TP. Esto causa una acumulación sistémica de nucleósidos que provoca toxicidad mitocondrial, y normalmente acaba siendo letal durante las primeras décadas de vida. El objetivo de este trabajo era conseguir una integración eficaz del ADNc humano de TYMP dentro de un intrón de los genes Tymp y Alb en hepatocitos por la acción coordinada de dos elementos: la CRISPR/Cas9 y los templates con el ADNc de TYMP. Estos templates fueron diseñados para ser integrados en una región subsecuente a un promotor genómico, de forma que la expresión del ADNc de TYMP estaría bajo su control. En el caso del locus Alb, la edición génica correcta produciría una proteína híbrida Alb-hTP que tendría capacidad secretora. Con esta aproximación, los hepatocitos serían editados permanentemente y el ADNc de TYMP sería expresado a largo plazo, de forma que se resolvería el problema de pérdida de expresión del transgén a menudo detectada en terapias génicas convencionales. Se probaron dos estrategias diferentes. En la primera, los ARNs de la CRISPR/Cas9 fueron introducidos por nanopartículas (NPs). Esto permitió una expresión elevada pero transitoria. Se probaron dos NPs diferentes: las NPs poliméricas (PNPs) de GEMAT-IQS, y las NPs lipídicas (NPLs) de Acuitas Therapeutics®. En la segunda estrategia, el sistema CRISPR/Cas9 fue librado como ADN dentro de vectores AAV. Los resultados in vitro e in vivo corroboraron que el ADNc de TYMP podía ser insertado con éxito en los dos loci. También corroboramos la presencia de ARNm de TYMP y de proteína TP funcional dentro de las células editadas. La experimentación in vivo se hizo con el modelo de ratones de MNGIE. Los niveles plasmáticos de Thd y dUrd de los animales tratados fueron monitorizados para valorar la eficiencia de las diferentes estrategias de edición génica. Los mejores resultados se obtuvieron en los animales tratados con las NPLs que llevaban los ARNs de la CRISPR/Cas9 y los vectores rAAV2/8 que llevaban los templates de ADN. Estos ratones presentaron una corrección bioquímica estable y consistente que se correlacionó con la presencia de ARNm TYMP y de enzima TP funcional en las células del hígado. Además, los ratones editados en el locus Alb presentaron una actividad TP significativa plasma, lo cual confirma que la enzima híbrida puede ser secretada con éxito manteniendo su actividad en plasma. Aun así, la reducción de niveles plasmáticos de nucleósidos no fue suficiente para lograr los niveles detectados en los ratones WT, de forma que hay espacio para la optimización. Sorprendentemente, en algunos casos la edición génica se produjo en ausencia de la CRISPR/Cas9, lo cual sugiere que los templates de ADN solos podrían provocar la inserción correcta a través de recombinación homóloga. Todos estos resultados confirman que nuestra estrategia de edición génica es viable, a pesar de que necesitamos aumentar la eficiencia global del procedimiento para conseguir una corrección bioquímica total en el modelo de MNGIE.
MNGIE is a rare metabolic disease caused by recessive mutations in the TYMP gene, which encodes the enzyme TP. This causes a systemic accumulation of nucleosides which results in mitochondrial toxicity that is usually lethal during the first decades of life. The goal of the present work was to achieve an efficient integration of the human TYMP cDNA on introns of the Tymp and Alb genes of murine hepatocytes by the coordinated action of two elements: CRISPR/Cas9 system and TYMP cDNA templates. These templates were designed to be integrated in a region downstream a genomic promoter, so that the TYMP cDNA expression will be under its control. In the case of the Alb locus the successful gene editing produced a hybrid Alb-hTP protein with a secretory ability. With this approach, hepatocytes would be permanently edited and the TYMP cDNA would be expressed long-term, thus overcoming the problem of loss of transgene expression often detected in conventional gene therapies. Two distinct strategies were tested. In the first one, CRISPR/Cas9 RNAs were delivered by nanoparticles (NPs). This allowed a high but transient expression. We tested NPs of two different sources: polymeric NPs (PNPs) of GEMAT-IQS, and lipid NPs (LNPs) of Acuitas Therapeutics®. In the second approach, CRISPR/Cas9 was delivered as DNA inside AAV vectors. Both in vitro and in vivo results corroborated that the TYMP cDNA could be successfully inserted in both loci. We also assessed the presence of TYMP mRNA and functional TP protein in the edited cells. In vivo experimentation was performed with the mice model of MNGIE. The Thd and dUrd plasma levels of treated animals were monitored to assess the effectivity of the different genome editing approaches. The best results were obtained in animals treated with LNPs carrying the CRISPR/Cas9 RNAs and rAAV2/8 vectors carrying the DNA templates. These mice showed a consistent and stable biochemical correction that correlated with the presence of TYMP mRNA and functional TP enzyme in liver cells. Moreover, mice of the Alb locus gene editing group presented significant TP activity in plasma, which confirms that the hybrid enzyme can be successfully secreted and maintains its activity in plasma. However, the reduction of plasma nucleoside levels was not enough to reach the levels observed in WT mice, so there is room for optimization. Unexpectedly, in some cases genome edition was observed in the absence of CRISPR/Cas9, which suggests that the DNA templates alone could trigger the correct insertion through homologous recombination. All these results confirm that our genome editing approach is viable, although we need to increase the overall efficiency of the procedure to achieve a full biochemical correction in the murine model of MNGIE.

Full textDenna studie analyserar potentialen för landbaserad vindkraft på den afrikanska kontinenten. Lämpliga socioekonomiska och geografiska begränsningar samt aktuella vindkraftverkens effektkurvor tillämpas för att nå det önskade resultatet. Den nuvarande tillgången till energi i Afrika beskrivs för att illustrera behovet av att främja vinkraftens penetration på kontinenten. De befintliga vindkraftverken såväl som de under konstruktion kartläggs. Därefter analyseras metoden för att närma sig resurs bedömningen. Bedömningen av energiproduktion och vindhastighet samt dess sannolikhet att inträffa under en viss tid är både viktigt och nödvändigt för denna studie. De olika kategorierna av potential för vindkraftverk definieras och utvärderas. Dessutom beskrivs kriterier av lokalisering för vindkraftverk och genomförs genom GIS-analys. Därefter förbereds interaktiva kartor. ArcGIS software används för att fånga, lagra och manipulera data som krävs samt för att få en helhetssyn av studien. Studien genomförs vid en kontinental nivå genom att använda en 1 km x 1 km (longitud, latitud) rutnät för markanvändning med den finaste upplösningen. Slutligen presenteras resultaten av detta arbete och jämförs med liknande metoder, viktiga slutsatser dras samt viktigt framtida arbete föreslås.

Full textImage quality assessment presents a substantial interest for image services that target human observers. Indeed, Image quality can be measured in two different ways. The first, called “subjective quality assessment”, is the obvious approach given the subjective nature of the visual data quality. The second one is called “objective quality assessment” that automatically allow to produce values that score image quality. There exists a large array of objective image quality assessment measures for which a taxonomic scheme has been proposed in the beginning of this manuscript. In fact, the first objective of this thesis is to provide a complete and thorough statistical predictive performance assessment of a variety of full‐reference objective quality measures over number of subjectively rated image quality databases. The second is to define the image attributes that are the most relevant to its quality evaluation. Two feature selection methods have been used including the structural risk minimization and the neural network based approaches. This allowed us to develop two new objective reduced‐reference image quality metrics where the image quality assessment requires the use of only a few features of the reference and the test images. The third objective of this research work is to exploit the supervised machine learning techniques, especially the multilayer perceptron based model, for automatic image quality appreciation. The system learns from the subjective quality scores and builds a model capable to further provide an objective measure that continues to match with the human opinion to any other image. The main target was to optimize the predictive performance of the developed measures according to correlation, monotonicity and accuracy. The default cost function based on error was employed for the first developed measure (that we called ECF) and a customized cost function based on correlation was proposed to design the second metric (that we called CCF). The comparative investigation to eighteen other full‐reference image quality algorithms over three image quality databases shows that both ECF and CCF take into consideration the nonlinearities of the human visual system. The ECF is more accurate than the majority of the metrics under study, while the CCF outperforms all its counterparts in terms of correlation and hence monotonicity
