Texte intégralThe aim of this historical research is firstly to describe an important event (The Modern synthesis) that took place in biology in the inter-war-years. The evolutionary biologists reached agreement to several respects such as the gradualism of the evolutionary process, the concept of population and ecological factors, among others. Secondly, to introduce the so-called extended synthesis analyzing one of its features - the phenotypic plasticity - and its historical antecedents. It will try to elucidate whether some ideas that could be related to phenotypic plasticity were already present in the beginning of the 20th century as it was claimed by some authors. Besides that, whether such ideas were not present in the works published during the Synthesis period. This thesis comprises an Introduction and six chapters. The Introduction presents the scope of the research, the research method and the aim of the research. Chapter 1 presents the Evolutionary synthesis and its relationship with the Extended synthesis, introducing the phenotypic plasticity. Chapter 2 discusses the historical antecedents of the phenotypic plasticity. Chapter 3 describes some experiments related to phenotypic plasticity performed in the beginning of the 20th century, focusing Richard Woltereck contributions. Chapter 4 analyzes the researches related to the subject performed in the 1940s and 1950s by Ivan I. Schmalhausen and Conrad Waddington. Chapter 5 mainly focuses the inquiries related to phenotypic plasticity made by Anthony D. Bradshaw during the 1960s. Chapter 6 presents an outlook of the researches concerning the subject performed after 1960s. Chapter 7 presents the final remarks concerning the subject of this thesis. This research leads to the conclusion that some ideas that could be related to the conception of phenotypic plasticity were already present in the end of 19th century. From this time onwards there were been made changes mainly related to its scope and terminology. Conceptions related to phenotypic plasticity can also be found during the Synthesis period in some authors such as Schmalhausen. In this case, perhaps due to political reasons they were not propagated. Besides that, it is possibly that they were not completely understood by the scientific community of that time.

Texte intégralLo scopo e la struttura di questo lavoro sono duplici: un'analisi generale dello stato attuale del programma di ricerca evoluzionistico servirà come cornice concettuale per un'indagine in alcuni aspetti specifici di un campo di studi molto dibattuto: l'evoluzione del linguaggio. Questo caso di studio fungerà da arena di prova per testare gli strumenti esplicativi del programma di ricerca evoluzionistico per mostrare quale cornice concettuale sia più adatta a trattare alcuni problemi irrisolti associati al caso di studio selezionato. Questo lavoro sarà caratterizzato da un continuo rimbalzo tra tematiche specifiche riguardanti il livello esplicativo della biologia evoluzionistica (quali processi evolutivi sono all'opera, quali adattamenti morfologici, comportamentali e cognitivi) e un'analisi teorica di pertinenza del meta-livello d'analisi della filosofia della scienza (analisi terminologica e concettuale, meccanismi causali in gioco, evoluzione del programma di ricerca). Nella Prefazione tentiamo di delimitare la portata del lavoro, poiché il caso di studio scelto è caratterizzato da una forte interdisciplinarità. Nell'Introduzione forniamo una basilare ricostruzione storica del dibattito intorno all'evoluzione del linguaggio, partendo dai tempi di Darwin e Wallace e identificando alcuni concetti chiave che risulteranno utili nell'esplorazione del dibattito contemporaneo. Dopodiché ci spostiamo a identificare la struttura esplicativa comune di alcune ipotesi sull'evoluzione del linguaggio che sono state proposte nel corso degli anni mettendo in luce alcune limitazioni. Discutiamo anche la necessità di fornire una definizione adeguata dela facoltà del linguaggio, per potervi associare un'adeguata analisi evolutiva; prendiamo in considerazione la distinzione FLB – FLN e pure ne mettiamo in evidenza alcune limitazioni. In particolare mostriamo la difficoltà della cornice concettuale della Teoria Evoluzionistica Standard (TES) nell'integrare la dimensione culturale nelle spiegazioni per l'evoluzione del linguaggio. Sottolineiamo quindi l'importanza e la necessità di operare questo tipo di integrazione e sosteniamo che la cornice concettuale della Sintesi Evoluzionistica Estesa (SEE) fornisce una serie di strumenti esplicativi che sono meglio equipaggiati per affrontare questa problematica. Mostriamo quindi che un modello coevolutivo tra linguaggio e cultura cumulativa può risultare un percorso di ricerca promettente per integrare processi evolutivi biologici e culturali, cercando di appoggiare la nostra argomentazione a risultati di studi coevolutivi comparativi (l'ipotesi della spinta culturale). I tre capitoli centrali di questo lavoro sono costituiti da articoli indipendenti tra loro che sono stati scritti in stadi differenti. Ognuno di essi approfondisce uno specifico aspetto ma tutti e tre condividono l'intento comune di mostrare come la cornice concettuale della Sintesi Estesa possa venire messa all'opera adeguatamente. Il primo capitolo è dedicato a un'esplorazione dell'ipotesi dell'Auto-addomesticazione nell'evoluzione umana attraverso un'analisi di una selezione di esempi chiave che risultino rilevanti per l'evoluzione del linguaggio, avvenuti ne corso dell'evoluzione del genere Homo, come l'evoluzione dei tratti relativi ai tempi di sviluppo, l'allargamento delle dimensioni del gruppo sociale, un aumento della cooperazione tra individui, modifiche comportamentali e innovazioni (come l'uso del fuoco), modifiche eterocroniche che hanno condotto a un aumento della plasticità sinaptica. Viene sostenuto che un rilassamento delle pressioni selettive causato da attività di costruzione di nicchia può aver giocato un ruolo fondamentale sia nell'evoluzione umana sia nell'evoluzione del linguaggio. Nel secondo capitolo, gli esempi chiave presentati nel primo capitolo vengono analizzati attraverso le lenti della cornice concettuale della Sintesi Estesa. L'evoluzione del linguaggio è trattata come un problema aperto nel programma di ricerca evoluzionistico e viene mostrato come quattro fattori (costruzione di nicchia, ereditarietà inclusiva, plasticità fenotipica, bias di sviluppo) e due concetti (causalità reciproca, sviluppo costruzionista) possono venire sfruttati per ottenere una migliore comprensione dell'evoluzione umana e del linguaggio. Il terzo capitolo esplora uno specifico problema teorico associato al dibattito intorno alla SEE, ovvero la necessità di riconsiderare la distinzione tra cause prossime e cause remote nell'evoluzione. Infatti, si può alternativamente assumere che la trasmissione culturale, che opera al livello intermedio tra il livello ontogenetico e il livello filogenetico, possa essere o un meccanismo prossimo o un meccanismo remoto, ottenendo predizioni diverse con assunzioni diverse. Noi sosteniamo che assumere l'una o l'altra posizione conduce a due differenti prospettive su come l'evoluzione biologica e l'evoluzione culturale interagiscono. Sosteniamo una prospettiva integrazionista che permette di riconoscere il ruolo di causa ultima della cultura, in accordo con la cornice concettuale della SEE. Discutiamo anche le conseguenze di questo cambiamento concettuale e mostriamo come ciò possa gettar luce sul dibattito intorno ai ritmi dell'evoluzione del linguaggio (puntuazionismo e gradualismo). Nelle Conclusioni avanziamo qualche ulteriore proposta, due in particolare: prima trattiamo il linguaggio come una forma di insegnamento verbale e riesaminiamo l'ipotesi, presentata nei capitoli precedenti, secondo cui il linguaggio potrebbe essersi evoluto come forma di trasmissione culturale di alta precisione; poi discutiamo la proposta secondo cui il linguaggio può venire inteso come una transizione fondamentale dell'evoluzione e in particolare proponiamo di dividere questa transizione in due parti: la prima riguarda l'evoluzione delle capacità per la cultura cumulativa, la seconda riguarda l'evoluzione del linguaggio; queste due parti potrebbero condividere un comune processo evolutivo alla loro base e suggeriamo che questo possa venire identificato nella versione estesa del principio di “assimilazione-allungamento”, che presentiamo nelle conclusioni, discutendone anche possibili future direzioni. Infine, concludiamo sostenendo che i modelli di coevoluzione geni-culutra stanno rivelando la loro fecondità non solo nel gettare luce sull'evoluzione umana, ma anche su altre specie sociali, e la cornice concettuale della SEE fornisce un insieme di strumenti esplicativi che risultano appropriati per trattare queste problematiche.

Texte intégralIn this Ph.D. Dissertation, we have identified the components of the avian extended amygdala (EA), based on their topological position, genetic profile and embryonic origin. In central EA of chicken and zebra finch, we identified the intercalated masses and the central amygdala, with cells derived from the dorsal and/or ventral striatal domains, but with minor subpopulations from other origins. Moreover, the lateral bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, with pallidal origin, contains subpopulations of immigrant cells with striatal, preoptic or eminential origins. In medial EA of zebra finch, we identified different cell subpopulations with pallidal, preoptic, hypothalamic or eminential origins. Our data indicate that EA is formed by multiple cell corridors with different origin and genetic profile, which opens new venues for investigating the connections and function of each neuron subtype in the control of emotions, motivation and social behavior.

En EA central de pollastre i pinsà, hem identificat les masses intercalades i l'amígdala central, amb cèl·lules estriatals dorsal i/o ventral, però amb subpoblacions menors d'altres orígens. A més, el nucli lateral de l’estria terminal, d'origen palidal, conté subpoblacions de cèl·lules immigrants d'origen estriatal, preòptic o eminèncial. En EA medial del pinsà, hem identificat diferents subpoblacions cel·lulars en l'amígdala medial i el nucli medial de l’estria terminal amb origen palidal, preòptic, hipotalàmic o eminèncial. Les nostres dades indiquen que EA està formada per múltiples corredors cel·lulars amb diferent origen i perfil genètic, la qual cosa suposa un canvi de paradigma per entendre la connectivitat i funció de cada tipus cel·lular en el control de les emocions, motivació i comportament social.

Texte intégralNucleic acids are essential biological molecules that encode and transfer genetic information from generation to generation. Intensive efforts have been made by scientists to study the properties of nucleic acids, looking for opportunities that could help diagnose, prevent, and cure disease, and/or gain a greater insight into the wonder of nature. Chapter 2 presents our synthetic attempts towards the rigidified nucleosides 2'-deoxy-6,3'-propanouridine and 2'-deoxy-6,3'-butanouridine. These nucleosides are constrained so that they mimic the native conformation in DNA duplex and are postulated to increase duplex stability, as well as increase the affinity of the nucleobase for its complementary partner. Chapter 3 presents work towards the synthesis of backbone extended nucleosides. These molecules have the potential to form a new type of helical structure when incorporated into a double helix. Through the investigation of these novel nucleic acids, we would like to gain a greater understanding of the properties that contribute to duplex stability

Texte intégralNucleic acids are responsible for maintaining the biological information responsible for the activities of all known living organisms. Research of nucleic acids provides opportunities to help understand, prevent, and cure disease in addition to allowing us to gain a greater appreciation for the wonders of nature. This work presents the synthesis and properties of several modified nucleosides. Chapter 2 presents an improved synthesis of R and S 6,5'-cyclouridine, which are rigidified nucleosides locked in the anti conformation. This work helps to understand the properties of these interesting molecules and will allow scientists to synthesize large quantities of these monomers for future research. Chapter 3 presents the synthesis of novel 6,6'-(S)-cyclo-2'-deoxyuridine. This work is highlighted by a zinc mediated cyclization to form a seven-membered ring; the first published reaction of its kind. The compound itself is a mimic of thymidine that also has the base locked in the anti position. Lastly, Chapter 4 presents work on 6' extended backbone nucleosides. These molecules have the potential to form a new type of helical structure and will help us to gain a greater understanding of the properties and dynamics that contribute to duplex stability in DNA

A series of pure iron jarosites (formula AFe₃(OH)₆(TO₄)₂) possessing the paradigmatic kagomé lattice has been prepared stoichiometrically pure through the use of a redox-based hydlrothermal synthetic strategy. This synthetic method allows us grow single crystals from which we fully characterize the structure and magnetic properties. Iron jarosites show signature spin frustrated behavior, indicated by a large Curie-Weiss constant, [theta] [approx.] -800 K, with a transition temperature, ... narrowly ranging from 56 - 65 K. Long-range antiferromagnetic order is due to a canted spin structure developed from the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) interaction. Although the DM interaction energy is only 1.2 cm⁻¹, this is large enough to give rise to a 3-D magnetic structure, precluding the ability to study the ground state physics of a purely 2-D frustrated spin system. Copper hydroxy-bridged triangular species have been prepared and characterized both structurally and magnetically. Overall, the nearest-neighbor exchange interaction is found to be antiferromagnetic in each compound, with [Theta] ranging from -18 to -300 K, although the 1-D material lindgrenite, Cu₃(OH)₂)(MoO₄)₂, and the kagomé-lattice-containing material clinoatacamite, Cu₂(OH)₃Cl, show 3-D long-range ferromagnetic order. The compound zinc paratacamite presents the hallmark of an S = 1/2 Cu²⁺ compound possessing the kagomé lattice. This compound has magnetically isolated layers, and we find no evidence for magnetic ordering to temperatures down to 2 K, despite strong nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic coupling, indicated by [Theta] [approx.] -300 K.

Texte intégralEsta tesis doctoral describe el diseño y la síntesis de una serie de receptores supramoleculares que presentan cavidades aromáticas polares. Los receptores preparados incluyen receptores organometálicos, contenedores moleculares solubles en agua, cajas moleculares basadas en enlaces de coordinación y metalo-cavitandos. Se han seleccionado unidades de calix[4]pirrol aril- y super-aril extendidos (AEC[4]P y SAE-C[4]P) como componentes principales. Se han estudiado las propiedades de reconocimiento molecular de los receptores sintéticos con sales de cloruro de tetraalquilamoni, así como de moléculas polares neutras, en disolventes orgánicos y en agua. Concretamente, se ha preparado un calix[4]pirrol super-aril extendido sustituido con una fosfina mono-Au(I) y se han estudiado sus propiedades de reconocimiento molecular ante diferentes sales de cloruro de tetraalquilamonio en diclorometano y acetona. Los complejos organometálicos de inclusión con estas sales presentan una estabilidad termodinámica reducida respecto a su análogo no organometálico simétrico "de dos paredes". Muy probablemente esto se debe a que las interacciones repulsivas anión-π son más fuertes en el complejo de cloruro del receptor organometálico. Se ha explorado la aplicación de un receptor SAE-C[4]P soluble en agua en la hidrólisis de bis-isonitrilos alifáticos catalizada por ácidos. El receptor SAE-C[4]P forma complejos 1: 1 termodinámicamente estables con los bis-isonitrilos, mono-isonitrilos-mono-formamida y bis-formamida. Los compuestos mono-reaccionados unidos presentan el grupo formamida exclusivamente en la conformación cis. Esta disposición protege el grupo isonitrilo y produce mejoras en el rendimiento de los compuestos mono-reaccionados. También se ha llevado a cabo el auto ensamblaje de una caja metálica soluble en agua con dos sitios de unión polar endoèdricos. Se ha demostrado que el ensamblaje eficiente de la caja metálica requiere la encapsulación de moléculas polares mono y di-tópicas neutras. La caja metálica muestra selectividad conformacional para la unión de bis-formamida alifáticas con diferentes longitudes de espaciadores (número de grupos metileno). Finalmente, se describe la síntesis de un ligando tetra-oxazolo [4,5-b] pirazinil SAE-C[4]P sin precedentes. Se describe el auto ensamblaje de un bis-metalo-cavitando basado
This PhD Thesis describes the design and synthesis of a series of supramolecular receptors featuring polar aromatic clefts and cavities. The prepared receptors include organometallic receptors, water-soluble containers, metallocages and metallocavitands. We selected aryl and super aryl-extended calix[4]pyrrole scaffolds (AE-C[4]P and SAE-C[4]P) as their main building blocks. We studied the molecular recognition properties of the synthetic receptors with tetraalkylammonium chloride salts, as well as neutral polar guests, in organic solvents and in water. Specifically, we prepared a mono-gold(I) phosphine substituted AE-C[4]P and studied its binding properties towards tetraalkylammonium chloride salts in dichloromethane and acetone solutions. The inclusion organometallic complexes featured a reduced thermodynamic stability with respect to its parent symmetrical “two-wall” counterpart. These results were explained considering the stronger repulsive anion-π interactions present in the chloride complex of the organometallic receptor. Next, we explored the application of a water-soluble SAE-C[4]P in the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of aliphatic bis-isonitriles. The SAE-C[4]P receptor formed thermodynamically stable 1:1 complexes with the bis-isonitriles, mono-isonitrile-mono-formamides and bis-formamides. The bound mono-reacted compounds featured the formamide group in exclusive cis-conformation. This arrangement protected the unreacted isonitrile group from water solvation and induced yield enhancements for the mono-reacted compounds. We also reported the self-assembly of water-soluble metallocage featuring two endohedral polar binding sites. We showed that the efficient assembly of the metallcage requires the encapsulation of neutral mono-and ditopic polar guests. The assembled metallocage displayed conformational selectivity in the binding of aliphatic bis-formamides having different methylene spacers. Finally, we described the synthesis of an unprecedented tetra-oxazolo[4,5-b]pyrazinyl SAE-C[4]P ligand. We reported the self-assembly of a bis-metallocavitand based on the SAE-C[4]P ligand and Pt(II) precursors. Similarly, we showed that the inclusion of suitable polar guest was mandatory for the metallocavitand formation. The SAE-C[4]P ligand chelated only two Pt(II) metals between its adjacent substituents affordin

Grammatical Evolution (GE) is an evolutionary algorithm that is gaining popularity due to its ability to solve problems where it would be impossible to explore every solution within a realistic time. Structured Grammatical Evolution (SGE) was developed to overcome some of the shortcomings of GE, such as locality issues as well as wrapping around the genotype to complete the phenotype. In this paper, we apply SGE to program synthesis, where the computer must generate code to solve algorithmic problems. SGE was improved upon, because the current definition of SGE does not work. Given that the solution space is very large for possible codes, we aim to improve the efficiency of GE in converging to the correct solution. We present a method in which to remove cycles from a grammar for SGE, to be able to make sure that a genotype matches to a phenotype with reusing parts of the genotype, and analyze results to shed insight on future improvements.

Texte intégralResistance to antimicrobials is an increasing problem in the world of today, and develops faster than man can counter. It is therefore of importance to study metabolic pathways in order to develop new antibiotics, but also to understand how resistance spreads and stabilizes in microbial populations.
The commensal flora could be an important factor in the spread of antimicrobial resistance, as drugs aimed at other targets also hit the harmless commensal bacteria. If stable resistance develops in such a population, it could seriously impair a later treatment with the same drug. After a treatment with the macrolide clarithromycin, resistance to this antibiotic increased markedly in the untargeted throat flora, and resistance levels did not recede until at least one year later.
Another example of stable resistance can also be seen in sulfonamide resistant Streptococcus pyogenes. Sequence determinations of the dihydropteroate synthase (dhps) gene conferring this resistance revealed a mosaic organisation implying that the it had been brought there by horizontal transfer. Molecular characterization of this gene showed that the sulfonamide resistance was due to mutations of structurally important amino acids in position 65 and 213.
The folate synthesis pathway has potential for being exploited further as a drug target. One possible new drug target is hydroxymethyl-dihydropterin pyrophosphokinase (hppk). In the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum this enzyme is part of a polyfunctional entity, also encoding dhps. The HPPK part can be separated from DHPS, but that the opposite is not possible. The PfHPPK has two insertions: one also present in other plasmodia, and one apparently unique to P. falciparum. Both are crucial for enzyme activity.
To further characterize HPPK, we developed a spectrophotometric activity assay and a method to measure substrate channelling of hydroxymethyl-dihydropterin diphosphate.

Texte intégralWithin this thesis an imitative sound synthesis system will be introduced that is applicable to most quasi-harmonic instruments. The system bases upon single-note recordings that represent a quantized version of an instrument's possible timbre space with respect to its pitch and intensity dimension. A transformation method then allows to render sound signals with continuous values of the expressive control parameters which are perceptually coherent with its acoustic equivalents. A parametric instrument model is therefore presented based on an extended source-filter model with separate manipulations of a signal’s harmonic and residual components. A subjective evaluation procedure will be shown to assess a variety of transformation results by a direct comparison with unmodified recordings to determine how perceptually close the synthesis results are regarding their respective acoustic correlates
