Full text

Abstract:

A Boolean function can be represented in several different forms. These different representation have advantages and disadvantages of their own. The Algebraic Normal Form, truth table, and Walsh spectrum representations are widely studied in literature. In 1999, Claude Carlet and Phillippe Guillot introduced the Numerical Normal Form. NumericalNormal Form(NNF) of a Boolean function is similar to Algebraic Normal Form, with integer coefficients instead of coefficients from the two element field. Using NNF representation, just like the Walsh spectrum, characterization of several cryptographically important functions, such as resilient and bent functions, is possible. In 2002, Carlet had shown several divisibility results concerning resilient and correlation-immune functions using NNF. With these divisibility results, Carlet is able to give bounds concerning nonlinearity of resilient and correlation immune functions. In this thesis, following Carlet and Guillot, we introduce the Numerical Normal Form and derive the pairwise relations between the mentioned representations. Characterization of Boolean, resilient and bent functions using NNF is also given. We then review the divisibility results of Carlet, which will be linked to some results on the nonlinearity of resilient and correlation immune functions. We show the Mö
bius inversion properties of NNF of a Boolean function, using Gian-Carlo Rota&rsquo
s work as a guide. Finally, using a lot of the mentioned results, we prove a necessary condition on theWalsh spectrum of Boolean functions with given degree.

Abstract:

In cryptography especially in block cipher design, Boolean functions are the basic elements. A cryptographic function should have high nonlinearity as it can be attacked by linear attack. In this thesis the highest possible nonlinear boolean functions in the even dimension, that is bent functions, basic properties and construction methods of bent functions are studied. Also normal bent functions and generalized bent functions are presented.

Full text

Abstract:

Boolean functions play an important role in the design and analysis of symmetric-key cryptosystems, as well as having applications in other fields such as coding theory. Boolean functions acting on large number of inputs introduces the problem of computing the cryptographic properties. Traditional methods of computing these properties involve transformations which require computation and memory resources exponential in the number of input variables. When the number of inputs is large, Boolean functions are usually defined by the algebraic normal form (ANF) representation. In this thesis, methods for computing the weight and nonlinearity of Boolean functions from the ANF representation are investigated. The relation between the ANF coecients and the weight of a Boolean function was introduced by Carlet and Guillot. This expression allows the weight to be computed in $mathcal{O}(2^p)$ operations for a Boolean function containing p monomials in its ANF. In this work, a more ecient algorithm for computing the weight is proposed, which eliminates the unnecessary calculations in the weight expression. By generalizing the weight expression, a formulation of the distances to the set of linear functions is obtained. Using this formulation, the problem of computing the nonlinearity of a Boolean function from its ANF is reduced to an associated binary integer programming problem. This approach allows the computation of nonlinearity for Boolean functions with high number of input variables and consisting of small number of monomials in a reasonable time.

Abstract:

Benefiting from higher SNR as well as better spatial, temporal and spectral resolution, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at high field has proved to be a valuable neuroimaging modality which provides comprehensive evaluation of the central nervous system non-invasively. The objectives of this doctoral work were to develop MRI methodologies and to assess the functional, metabolic and structural alterations in rodent brains under normal and manipulated conditions. Firstly, to improve the functional sensitivity and spatial precision, a novel functional MRI (fMRI) method using balanced steady state free precession with intravascular susceptibility contrast agent was proposed and its feasibility was evaluated in rat visual system. This new approach was sensitized to cerebral blood volume (CBV) changes. It provided comparable sensitivity to conventional CBVweighted fMRI using echo planar imaging but with no severe image distortion and signal dropout. Robust negative responses during visual stimulation were observed and activation patterns were in excellent agreement with known neuroanatomy. As a promising alternative to conventional CBV-weighted fMRI, it was particularly suited for fMRI investigation of animal models at high field. Secondly, the relationship between anatomical connections and resting-state fMRI connectivity was explored using a well-controlled animal model of corpus callosotomy. Both complete and partial callosotomy resulted in significant loss of interhemispheric connectivity in the cortical areas whose primary interhemispheric connections via corpus callosum (CC) were severed. Partial restoration of interhemispheric connectivity and increased intrahemispheric connectivity were also observed. The experimental findings directly supported that anatomical connections via CC play a primary and indispensable role in resting-state connectivity, and that resting-state networks could be dynamically reorganized or acquired directly or indirectly through the remaining anatomical connections. Thirdly, proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS) was employed to monitor the longitudinal metabolic alterations elicited by exogenous stimulation and endogenous modification, respectively. Significantly lower hippocampal N-acetylaspartate (NAA) was observed in fear conditioning animals, indicating reduced neuronal dysfunction and/or integrity, which contributed to the trauma-related symptoms. Meanwhile, pregnant animals exhibited prominently higher hippocampal NAA level, reflecting the increased density of neurons in this region, which might facilitate supporting behaviors that involving learning and memory. The 1H MRS detection of ongoing neurochemical changes induced by fear conditioning and pregnancy, especially in the hippocampus, can shed light on the mechanisms of learning and memory and the neurochemical underpinnings of behavioral improvement in pregnant animals. Lastly, manganese-enhanced MRI (MEMRI) was employed to investigate the hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury in the late phase and the neural response to conditioned fear. Significantly higher enhancement in T1-weighted images was found in the peri-lesional region 24 hours after manganese administration and it colocalized with the increase in glial cell density in histological staining, demonstrating the existence of reactive gliosis in the late phase after HI injury. In fear conditioned animals, higher manganese uptake was observed in amygdala, hippocampus, paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus and cingulate cortex, which were all highly-involved in the process of fear. These findings suggested MEMRI approach were useful in investigation of post-injury cellular events and functional reorganization as well as for in vivo mapping of neuronal activity.

Abstract:

This thesis consists of two papers which take a critical look on functions of an inverse Wishart matrix and a Gaussian vector. In the first paper, the product expression, of which the inverse of the pooled estimator of the covariance matrix is inverse Wishart distributed and the difference of sample means is multivariate normally distributed, is investigated by exploring the distributional properties via a stochastic representation for both the finite sample case and the infinite sample case under the large-dimensional asymptotic regime. A test theory is developed to study the contribution of population coefficients in the discriminant function. Furthermore, we investigate the performance of the classification analysis based on the discriminant function. In the second paper, the expression of the product of the inverse sample covariance matrix and the sample mean vector with regard to the derivation of moments of the estimated tangency portfolio weights is studied. In particular, higher order central and non-central moments of the elements of such a product are obtained. Moreover, the closed-form expressions of the second, the third and the fourth central moments are provided whose expressions do not depend on special mathematical functions, like the confluent hypergeometric function. Furthermore, we deduce analytical expressions for the mean, the variance, the skewness, and the kurtosis from the higher-order central and non-central moments of the tangency portfolio weights. Finally, the developed results have been successfully applied to real weekly data of eight stocks traded on NASDAQ.

Abstract:

If a Lyapunov function is known, a dynamic system can be stabilized. However, the search for a Lyapunov function is often challenging. This paper takes a new approach to avoid such a search; it assumes a basic Control Lyapunov Function [CLF] then seeks to numerically diminish the value of the Lyapunov function. If a singularity arises during calculations with the default CLF, a complementary function is used. The complementary function eliminates a common cause of singularities with the default CLF. While many other algorithms from the literature use switched or time-varying CLF’s, the presented method is unique in that the CLF’s do not require prior calculation and the technique applies globally. The method is proven and demonstrated for SISO systems in normal form and then demonstrated on a higher-order system of a more general type.

Abstract:

Background: Genomics tools for enhancement of melon research, with an emphasis on fruit, were developed through a previous BARD project of the PIs (IS -333-02). These included the first public melon EST collection, a database to relay this information to the research community and a publicly available microarray. The current project (IS-3877- 06) aimed to apply these tools for identification of important genes for improvement of melon (Cucumis melo) fruit quality. Specifically, the research plans included expression analysis using the microarray and functional analyses of selected genes. The original project objectives, as they appeared in the approved project, were: Objective 1: Utilization of a public melon microarray developed under the existing project to characterize melon transcriptome activity during the ripening of normal melon fruit (cv. Galia) in order to provide a basis for both a general view of melon transcriptome activity during ripening and for comparison with existing transcriptome data of developing tomato and pepper fruit. Objective 2: Utilization of the same public melon microarray to characterize melon transcriptome activity in lines available in the collection of the Israeli group, focusing on sugar, organic acids and aroma metabolism, so as to identify potentially useful candidates for functional analysis and possible manipulation, through comparison with the general fruit development profile resulting from (1) above. Objective 3: Expansion of our existing melon EST database to include publicly available gene expression data and query tools, as the US group has done with tomato. Objective 4: Selection of 6-8 candidate genes for functional analysis and development of DNA constructs for repression or over-expression. Objective 5: Creation of transgenic melon lines, or transgenic heterologous systems (e.g. E. coli or tomato), to assess putative functions and potential as tools for molecular enhancement of melon fruit quality, using the candidate gene constructs from (4).

Abstract:

Review question / Objective: Previous epidemiological studies on the association between PM2.5 pollution and outpatient visits for respiratory diseases in China were mostly limited to one region， and the different papers have no coherent results. Our objective is to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the relevant literature in order to summarize the association between PM2.5 pollution and outpatient visits for respiratory diseases in multiple cities in China. Condition being studied: As an important component of air pollutants, particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) can float in the atmosphere for a long time with a small aerodynamic size (≤2.5μm) and large specific surface area which is attached to a variety of toxic and harmful substances . PM2.5 can deposite under the trachea of the respiratory tract, reaching deep into the alveolar area, damaging alveolar macrophages and type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells, inducing alveolar inflammation, resulting in decreased immunity of the respiratory tract and interfering with normal physiological functions of the lungs.

specific objectives of this proposal were to: 1) determine the location, topology, and oligomerization of FtsH11 protease; 2) identify the substrate/s of FtsH11 and the downstream components involved in maintaining thermostability of chloroplasts; 3) identify new elements involved in FtsH11 protease regulatory network related to HT adaptation processes in chloroplast; 4) Study the role of FtsH11 homologs from crop species in HT tolerance. Background to the topic: HT-tolerant varieties that maintain high photosynthetic efficiency at HT, and cope better with daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations are in great need to alleviate the effect of global warming on food production. Photosynthesis is a very complex process requiring accurate coordination of many complex systems and constant adjustments to the changing environments. Proteolytic activities mediated by various proteases in chloroplast are essential part of this process and critical for maintaining normal chloroplast functions under HT. However, little is known about mechanisms that contribute to adaptation of photosynthetic processes to HT. Our study has shown that a chloroplast-targeted Arabidopsis FtsH11 protease plays an essential and specific role in maintaining thermostability of thylakoids and normal photosynthesis at moderate HT. We hypothesized that FtsH11 homologs recently identified in other plant species might have roles similarly to that of AtFtsH1. Thus, dissecting the underlying mechanisms of FtsH11 in the adaptation mechanisms in chloroplasts to HT stress and other elements involved will aid our effort to produce more agricultural products in less favorable environments. Major conclusions, solutions, achievements - Identified the chloroplast inner envelope membrane localization of FtsH11. - Revealed a specific association of FtsH11 with the a and b subunits of CPN60. - Identified the involvement of ARC6, a protein coordinates chloroplast division machineries in plants, in FtsH11 mediated HT adaptation process in chloroplast. -Reveal possible association of a polyribonucleotide nucleotidyltransferase (cpPNPase), coded by At3G03710, with FtsH11 mediated HT adaptation process in chloroplast. - Mapped 4 additional loci in FtsH11 mediated HT adaptation network in chloroplast. - Demonstrated importance of the proteolytic activity of FtsH11 for thermotolerance, in addition to the ATPase activity. - Demonstrated a conserved role of plant FtsH11 proteases in chloroplast biogenesis and in maintaining structural and functional thermostability of chloroplast at elevated temperatures. Implications, both scientific and agricultural:Three different components interacting with FtsH11 were identified during the course of this study. At present, it is not known whether these proteins are directly involved in FtsH11mediated thermotolerance network in chloroplast and/or how these elements are interrelated. Studies aiming to connect the dot among biological functions of these networks are underway in both labs. Nevertheless, in bacteria where it was first studied, FtsH functions in heat shock response by regulating transcription level of σ32, a heat chock factor regulates HSPsexpression. FtsH also involves in control of biosynthesis of membrane components and quality control of membrane proteins etc. In plants, both Arc 6 and CPN60 identified in this study are essential in chloroplast division and developments as mutation of either one impairs chloroplast division in Arabidopsis. The facts that we have found the specific association of both α and β CPN60 with FtsH11 protein biochemically, the suppression/ enhancement of ftsh11 thermosensitive phenotype by arc6 /pnp allele genetically, implicate inter-connection of these networks via FtsH11 mediated network(s) in regulating the dynamic adaptation processes of chloroplast to temperature increases at transcriptional, translational and post-translational levels. The conserved role of FtsH11 proteases in maintaining thermostability of chloroplast at HT demonstrated here provides a foundation for improving crop photosynthetic performance at high temperatures.

Abstract:

Hypothalamic gonadotropinreleasing hormone (GnRH1) is the key hormone in the control of gametogenesis and gonadal growth in vertebrates. Developmentally, hypothalamic GnRHproducing neurons originate from the olfactory placode, migrate along olfactory axons into the forebrain, and continue to the preoptic area and hypothalamus where they function to stimulate gonadotropin secretion from the pituitary gland. An appropriate location of GnRH neurons within the hypothalamus is necessary for normal reproductive function in the adult; abnormal migration and targeting of GnRH neurons during embryogenesis results in hypogonadism and infertility. The developmental migration of GnRH neurons and axonal pathfinding in mammals are modulated by a plethora of factors, including receptors, secreted molecules, adhesion molecules, etc. Yet the exact mechanism that controls these developmental events is still unknown. We investigated these developmental events and the underlying mechanisms using a transgenic zebrafish model, Tg(gnrh1: EGFP), in which GnRH1 neurons and axons are fluorescently labeled. The role of factors that potentially affect the development of this system was investigated by testing the effect of their knockdown and mutation on the development of the GnRH1 system. In addition, their localization in relation to GnRH1 was described during development. These studies are expected to generate the scientific foundation that will lead to developing innovative technologies, based on the disruption of the early establishment of the GnRH system, for inducing sterility in farmed fish, which is highly desirable for economical and environmental reasons.
