Amaranthus tuberculatus (Common Waterhemp) is a prevalent, problematic weed in Midwestern USA, where genetically-modified crops are widely grown, resulting in multiple annual applications of glyphosate. Such practices provide the selection pressure for the evolution of glyphosate resistance. Evolutionary theory predicts that adaptation to novel stresses, such as herbicide application, will incur a cost in the original (herbicide-free) environment. This project aims to identify whether glyphosate resistance in a population of Amaranthus tuberculatus was associated with a fitness cost in the absence of glyphosate. Initial dose response experiments on the study population determined a resistance index of 3.2 compared to a standard sensitive population. To generate appropriate material for comparisons between phenotypes, individual plants were cloned and their resistance status determined by glyphosate application. Parent plants were designated as resistant or susceptible and appropriate crosses were performed to generate seed lines. The incomplete segregation of resistant and susceptible seed lines indicated that resistance was controlled by a quantitative trait. EPSPS gene amplification was elucidated as the primary mechanism of glyphosate resistance. There was a strong positive relationship between half-sibling seed family LD50 and relative EPSPS gene copy number indicating that resistance was primarily caused by target-site gene amplification. Subsequent fitness experiments used seed families to determine that no fitness trade-off was associated with resistance (or gene copy number) when plants are grown without competition, in glasshouse and polytunnel growth environments. However, a small growth penalty was associated with elevated gene copy number in plants grown in a polytunnel, without competition (10% biomass reduction at +20 EPSPS copies), this led to competition experiments. A fitness cost was associated with resistance under intra-phenotypic competition; however, the cost was mitigated under inter-specific competition with maize. A cost was associated with glyphosate resistance and this cost was influenced by interactions with biotic and abiotic factors.

It has been proposed that increased tissue iron concentration, which has been observed in certain regions of the brain in individuals with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), could provide a marker for diagnosis through detection with MRI. This is investigated in this thesis using high field MRI to examine post mortem human brain tissue. It is shown here that by using data from multiple brain regions discriminant analysis can successfully differentiate between AD and control samples, even when no statistically significant differences are observed in individual brain regions. A unique set of complementary techniques was used to investigate iron content, R2 and R2* of tissue samples from the caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus substantia nigra, amygdala and pons, from a set of three control and AD cases. The particulate iron content of the samples was investigated by SQUID magnetometry and was followed by iron quantification. A trend of increased particulate and total iron concentration was observed in the AD tissue compared to control, however this did not reach statistical significance in any brain region. High resolution MRI relaxometry at 9.4 T was carried out on tissue from the caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus and substantia nigra using a custom design Bruker micro-imaging MicWB40 probe. As part of the work towards this PhD the probe was tested, and MRI relaxometry protocols optimised for high resolution (86 x 86 μm in plane, 150 μm slice thickness) mapping of tissue samples with high iron concentration. Again, no statistically significant differences were observed between AD and control tissue. However, discriminant analysis of these data (particulate or total iron or R2 or R2*) from multiple brain regions achieved differentiation between control and AD cases with 100% sensitivity and specificity for this small sample set. This demonstrates the potential clinical usefulness of MRI of measurements of non-haem brain iron to aid in disease diagnosis. Synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) mapping of 30 μm thick sections, cut from the MRI samples, showed the relative concentration distribution of iron, copper and zinc in one AD and control sample from each brain region. Each metal was shown to have a distinct distribution. In particular, the inhomogeneity of iron concentration within individual brain regions, such as the putamen, was demonstrated. This may explain the wide variation in iron concentration reported in the literature for the same brain regions, and highlights the importance of close anatomical matching of samples when making comparisons. The ability of high resolution SXRF mapping to investigate the metal content within individual cells was demonstrated and used to show an increase in iron in individual AD neurons, in addition to the surrounding grey and white matter tissue. Spatially matched SXRF and MRI maps were used to demonstrate a strong, statistically significant linear relationship between tissue iron concentration and R2, R2* and R2’ at 9.4 T. The gradient of the linear relationship between iron and R2, agrees extremely well with the predicted gradient at this field, where the prediction was made by Vymazal et al. (1996) using MRI relaxometry at 0.05 to 1.5 T. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that this relationship has been quantified at 9.4 T, or at any field above 7 T. MRI at 14.1 T was carried out on low iron concentration regions (the pons and amygdala). Matched SXRF and R2* maps did not show a strong linear relationship between iron and R2*. The iron concentration in these regions is less than 50 μg/g and it was concluded that in tissue with low iron content, other tissue properties - such as water content - are dominating the value of R2*. This result was replicated with data measured at 9.4 T, when only tissue with an iron concentration of less than 50 μg/g was considered.

Today, major IT-companies, such as Microsoft, Amazon and Google, are offering online storage services to their customers. This is a favourable solution -- as opposed to regular storage -- in terms of low costs, reliability, scalability and capacity. However, important security features such as data privacy and integrity are often absent.To address these issues, a cryptographic architecture is proposed that ensures the confidentiality and integrity of the data stored by users, independent of the trust of the provider. This includes secure sharing of private data among users of the same service.The underlying cryptographic architecture is based on existing open source systems and cryptographic primitives. The architecture was implemented as a reusable general library in Java. An Android client was created, and several performance tests were conducted. The proof of concept system shows that it is possible to implement the proposed scheme, and that the cryptographic operations does not significantly affect the user experience on an Android device. Possible weaknesses of the scheme are identified.We present a scheme for secure storage and sharing of files on an untrusted server, and argue for its validity. To support streaming functionality, the scheme could be extended with hash trees to validate small parts of a file at the time.

The main aim of this study is to identify and analyse, both qualitatively and quantitatively, the potential effects of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on the Libyan Banking sector using DEA and Panel data regression methods. Libya has not gained its full membership of the WTO yet. However, Libya has gained observer status since 2004. Since Libya has not yet joined the WTO, it is not possible to know its impact by addressing the period pre and post joining the WTO. Therefore, to know the final expected impact of the WTO on the Libyan banking sector, two ways are selected. The first one is by assessing the rules of the WTO and review the existing literature regarding the impact of the WTO on banking sector to draw some conclusions on the Libyan banking sector. The other one is by using the efficiency of banks as a means to know the impact of the WTO on the Libyan banking sector. The efficiency was empirically measured using DEA method and two types of comparison: Common Efficient Frontier (CEF) and National Specific Frontier (NSF). The using of DEA method allows the comparison of efficiency of Libyan banks to those in existence in countries similar to Libya (Gulf countries) that have already gained membership of the WTO .Also, to check whether there have been any changes in the general trend of efficiency since these countries have joined the WTO. Finally, in order to find out how to improve the bank efficiency, the determinants of bank efficiency were investigated using panel data regression and the WTO was used as one of the determinants of bank efficiency. The main finding from a sample inclusive of GCCs banks with Iwithout Libyan banks under CEF comparison, reveal that the mean efficiency score of the Libyan banking industry is not dissimilar to the GCC country's mean. Since these results are different to those obtained in the existing literature and also to know the implication of WTO on GCC countries as more homogeneous countries, the analysis was repeated without Libya using the CEF comparison. However, the type of comparison (NSF) produced significantly different results, in particular the ranking of the countries. Overall, The results of DEA which were supported and complemented by using the Panel data regression method show that there is no clear evidence that the efficiency of Gulf countries has been improving since joining of the WTO. The reason behind this might be the decreasing level of efficiency in these countries relative to developed countries When the Gulf countries joined the WTO. Furthermore, the Gulf countries have not yet completely opened their banking sectors and still discriminate against foreign banks. Also, they still enjoy the exemption given to developing countries. Therefore, Libya's joining the WTO as a full member- at the present time -might affect the banking sector negatively. Regarding to the impact of banking reform on Libyan banks efficiency, although the results were ambiguous and depending on using CEF or NSF type, the results of NSF which is supported by previous literature showed that there was progress, therefore, efficiency was improved after the reform had started.

The radiation field introduced by Friedlander provides a direct approach to the asymptotic expansion of solutions to the wave equation near null infinity. We use this concept to study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the Einstein Vacuum equations, which are close to Minkowski space, at null infinity. By imposing harmonic gauge, the Einstein Vacuum equations reduce to a system of quasilinear wave equations on R"j". We show that if the space dimension n > 5 the Moller wave operator is an isomorphism from Cauchy data satisfying the constraint equations to the radiation fields satisfying the corresponding constraint equations on small neighborhoods of suitable weighted b-type Sobolev spaces.

The laminar convective heat transfer characteristics were investigated for silica nanofluid. An experimental loop was built to obtain heat transfer coefficients for single-phase nanofluids in a circular conduit in laminar flow regime. Thermal conductivity and viscosity measurements were conducted on the silica nanofluid to determine the thermophysical properties needed for analysis. Qualitative tests showed that the silica nanofluid was a stable colloidal suspension under the temperature range expected in the heated flow loop up to 80°C. Experiments were performed in the flow loop for the silica nanofluid at 0.2 Vol.%, 1 Vol.%, and 5 Vol.% concentrations. It was found that the heat transfer coefficient increased only slightly, but the heat transfer increase is within the experimental uncertainty of ±10%. The experiment results were in agreement with correlations using the as-measured thermal conductivity and viscosity of the nanofluid. It is concluded that silica nanofluid tested in this study showed no abnormal heat transfer enhancement in the laminar flow regime.

Анотація:

The modern day mechanical integration and organisation of cities have disturbed the natural systems and sequences of the environment, as well as the social fabric and collective notions of society within cities (Mumford, 1938:17). Man's progressive "liberation" from the natural environment has desensitised him to nature (Crowe, 1995:233) creating an artifi cial realm where man is removed from nature. Pretoria's establishment was greatly infl uenced by its landscape - aptly called "the valley between the ridges and the rivers" (Dippenaar, 2013:6). Urban modernisation and infrastructure development have however progressively disregarded the river and the landscape within the city, consequently detaching the city from these natural elements, which resulted in the loss of their signifi cance. As one of the last remaining underdeveloped sites in the inner city of Pretoria, Berea Park represents a continuation of the landscape and the Apies River channel into the city. Situated at the southern gateway of the city, Berea Park was Pretoria's fi rst offi cial recreational, social and cultural venue, hosting numerous sport, outdoor and other events. Unfortunately Berea Park is currently in a derelict and idle state. Infrastructural developments have gradually disconnected the site from the surrounding city fabric and community. The isolated and forgotten park, has like the river, tragically lost its essential signifi cance. The divide between the city fabric, the Apies River channel and the Berea Park landscape presents the opportunity to explore architecture's role in re-integrating and connecting experiences of "nature" into the city to enhance the quality of urban life. This dissertation explores architecture and the hybrid typology of "building as a landscape", as a means to create a new topography and interface between the Berea Park landscape, river channel and the city. The concept of a hybrid architecture that merges the typologies of urban park, landscape, infrastructure, public amenity and building is explored with the intention to develop a new typology that can respond to the contextual challenges. The building becomes an extension of the park, and the park becomes an extension of the building. The new interface, proposed programme and activities are aimed at linking the city, its inhabitants, communities, the landscape and the river.
Die hedendaagse meganiese integrasie en organisasie van stede het die natuurlike sisteme en ritmes van die omgewing, asook die sosiale strukture en kollektiewe opvattings van gemeenskappe in stede versteur (Mumford, 1038:17). Die mens se progressiewe "bevryding" van die natuurlike omgewing het gelei tot 'n skeiding tussen die mens en die natuur (Crowe, 2013:6), wat der volglik ? kunsmatige domein waarbinne die mensdom uit die natuurverwyder is, geskep het. Die totstandkoming van Pretoria was grootliks be?nvloed deur sy natuurlike landskap - met die gepaste benaming van " 'n vallei gele? tussen rante en riviere" (Dippenaar, 2013:6). Met stedelike modernisering en infrastruktuur ontwikkeling is daar stelselmatig minder ag geslaan op die rivier en die omliggende stadslandskap, wat daartoe gelei het dat die stad van die natuurlike omgewing afgesonder geraak het en uiteindelik het dit die verlies van die essensi?le betekenis en waarde van die natuurelemente veroorsaak. Berea Park, een van die laaste oorblywende onderontwikkelde terreine in die sentrale stadsgebied van Pretoria, is gele? aan die suidelike ingang van die stad en verteenwoordig 'n verlenging van die landskap en die Apiesrivierkanaal na die stad. Di? terrein was Pretoria se eerste amptelike ontspannings-, sosiale en kulturele byeenkomsplek, wat sport-, buitelugen ander byeenkomste aangebied het. Ongelukking is Bera Park tans 'n verlate, verwaarloosde en onbenutte area. Infrastruktuur ontwikkeling van di? gebied het geleidelik die terrein afgesonder van die omliggende stad en gemeenskap. Die ge?soleerde en vergete park het, soos die rivier, tragies geen betekenis of nut meer nie. Die skeiding tussen die stedelike bouomgewing, die Apiesrivierkanaal en die landskap van Berea Park bied die geleentheid om argitektuur se rol met betrekking tot die herintegrering en verbinding van die "natuur" met die stad te ondersoek derhalwe die gehalte van 'n stedelike lewenswyse te verhoog. Die skripsie ondersoek argitektuur en die hibriede tipologie van 'n gebou as 'n landskap, wat deur die fasilitering van 'n nuwe topografi e 'n interaktiewe verbinding tussen die landskap van Berea Park, die rivierkanaal en die stad tot stand kan bring. Hibriede-argitektuur is 'n konsep wat die samesmelting van die tipologie? van stedelike park, landskap, infrastruktuur, openbare fasiliteit en gebou ondersoek met die doel om 'n nuwe tipologie te ontwikkel wat kontekstuele uitdagings kan aanspreek. Die gebou word 'n uitbreiding van die park en die park word 'n uitbreiding van die gebou. Die doelwit van die gebou as nuwe interaktiewe verbinding en die voorgestelde program en aktiwiteite, is om die stad se inwoners, gemeenskappe, die landskap en die rivier te herverbind.

South Africa is on fire. The dream of a rainbow nation has gone up in flames with the buildings being burned by those protesting an unjust system of governance. The people have begun to take back the power from those they elected to empower them, taking matters into their own hands. Architecture cannot be autonomous in the face of a society in flux. Architecture in South Africa can be used as a tool to accommodate the lives of a people in search of an identity that is free of post scripts. Post-colonial, post-apartheid can no longer be South Africa's identifiers. And rainbow washing will not do. South Africa needs to live up to its claim of being a democracy. The role of the architect is not apolitical one, but not autonomous of politics either. If South Africa is a democracy, what might its cities look like? This dissertation investigates the nature of democracy and its manifestation in space, making the claim that truly public space is the space in which democracy manifests? it is largely ungovernable, unpredictable and entirely in the hands of the people. The scheme therefore hopes to celebrate the value of public space by identifying a public space that does not fulfill its potential, and introducing a programme that utilizes the democracy of public space and contributes to it. The scheme is placed in the premise of Pretoria as singular capital of South Africa (an issue that has been under debate since the formation of the union). This creates a need for the accommodation of programmes currently spread across the three capitals. One such a programme, the one in question, is that of parliament where democracy is tested by those in power. The site in question is one that has been a part of the political discourse in Pretoria for some time; The Union Buildings Estate, where protestors often gather to antagonize government. The acknowledgement of the Union Buildings as the face of government sees the project, the parliament, brought to the foreground, located in the street where it is made public and accessible. It is an object made to be owned by the people and, should they feel the need, destroyed.
Afrika is aan die brand. Die droom van 'n re?nboognasie waai weg in die rook van geboue wat daagliks afgebrand word deur mense wat teen die waargenome onregverdige regeeringsproses protesteer. Suid Afrikaners het begin om die mag terug te neem van die mense wat hulle aangestel het om hulle te bemagtig. Argitektuur kan nie self-regerend wees tydens die onvoorspelbaarhede van ons huidige samelewing nie. Suid Afrikaanse argitektuur kan gebruik word as die huisvesting van 'n bevolking opsoek na 'n identiteit, een sonder voorskrifte gedikteer deur die verlede. Postkolonialisme en post-apartheid kan nie verder die identiteit van Suid Afrika bepaal nie en die suiwering deur middel van 'n re?nboog sal ook nie deug nie. Suid Afrika moet nou bewys dat dit wel 'n demokrasie is. Die rol van argitektuur is apolities maar staan ook nie buite die politiek nie. Indien Suid Afrika wel 'n demokrasie is, hoe sal sy stede en dorpe lyk? Hierdie skripsie ondersoek demokrasie en die uitbeelding daarvan in ruimtes, en stel voor dat die enigste werklike demokratiese ruimtes slegs publieke ruimtes is; aangesien werklike publieke ruimtes nie beheer of voorspel kan word nie en daarom slegs deur die samelewing beheer en bepaal word. Die projek skep waardering vir die publieke ruimtes deur goeie publieke ruimtes te identifiseer wat nie tot hul reg geskied nie en 'n ooreenkomstig program voor te stel wat die demokratiese neigings van publieke ruimte vuur en aanmoedig. Die projek is gebaseer of die stelling dat Pretoria as enkele hoofstad van Suid Afrika verklaar moet word, 'n aangeleentheid wat al gedebateer word sedert die vorming van die Unie van Suid Afrika in 1910. So 'n verklaring skep die nut vir die inkorpereering van die oorblywende hoofstede se take, onder andere die parlement. Die parlement is waar demokrasie daagliks beproef word deur die regering. Die terrein wat gekies is vir die taak is ook al jare deel van politiek teenstreidighede, naamlik die Uniegeboue en gronde. Dit is tans waar protes gereeld plaas vind en word gesien as die gesig van die regering. Die aanvaarding van die Uniegeboue as die regering se koppelvlak lei tot die besluit om die parlementsgebou tot voetsoolvlak te bring, waar dit bereikbaar en toeganklik is vir alle vlakke van die samelewing. Die gebou word die besitting van die samelewing en kan dus deur die publiek beskerm of uitgewis word; soos hulle besluit.

Anthrax is one of the most well-known, yet underestimated zoonotic diseases in the world, remaining endemic on the African continent. Here the disease not only impacts upon the health of animals and humans, but also on the livelihoods of rural communities. Even so, the disease remains neglected in terms of funding and attention, which results in the under-reported of anthrax in Africa. This study aims to discuss the reasons for under-reporting of anthrax, and the factors impeding anthrax control in Africa. We provide an updated distribution map of anthrax-endemic regions across the continent to investigate under-reporting. Furthermore, we highlight the benefits which could be gained by researchers, in Africa and abroad, through enhancing the diagnostic and research capabilities on the continent. Special attention is given to multi-locus variable number of tandem repeat assay (MLVA), a genotyping technique which has already delivered much insight into the dynamics of anthrax disease, and the diversity of Bacillus anthracis. This study employed MLVA to provide insight into the genotypic diversity of anthrax in Kruger National Park (KNP), and the potential mechanisms which drive such outbreaks. To achieve this goal, we utilised MLVA, employing 31 markers, to investigate anthrax outbreaks from 2014-2015 in KNP. Briefly, isolates were confirmed to be B. anthracis using classical microbiology and real-time PCR investigation. Extracted B. anthracis DNA was subjected to multiplex PCR, with the resultant fragments being separated by size using capillary electrophoresis. These data were then utilised to cluster B. anthracis into lineages, and genotypes. Bacillus anthracis isolates (n=81) were obtained from carcasses and the environment, in the Pafuri, Houtboschrand and Mahlangeni regions of the KNP, between 2014 and 2015. All isolates belonged to the A-clade, consistent with findings in the KNP since 1990. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the isolates belonged to five distinct genotypes, with genotypes 1 and 2 (GT1 and GT2) dominating, present in both 2014 and 2015. GT1 and GT2 belonged to the A1 sub-clade, and the A.Br.005/006 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) sub-group. GT3, belonging to the A3 (SNP A.Br.Aust94) sub-clade, has been reported in the KNP in previous outbreaks, and was isolated from vulture faeces in 2015. GT4 (P15-53) and GT5 (P15-54), each representing a single isolate, presented as atypical B. anthracis. Three VNTR markers, including the virulence factor on pX01, could not be detected in P15-53, while two VNTR markers could not be detected in P15-54. An additional investigation, into the potential of using an MLVA7 protocol as a first line assay, was performed. The results indicated that while such a protocol was capable of distinguishing between the 5 genotypes present in this study, it could not differentiate between A and B-clade isolates. Investigation of B. anthracis isolates from the environment, in the vicinity of anthrax-infected carcasses, provided insight into the complex epidemiology of the disease. Firstly, we provided evidence supporting necrophagous fly transmission of anthrax, since isolates collected from carcasses, blowflies, and vegetation in the vicinity, were of the same genotype. Secondly, we investigated the distribution of GT1, with two isolates (H15-01 & M15-01) occurring in Mahlangeni, and Houtboschrand, between 150 km and 200 km away from of the main outbreak location in Pafuri. Dissemination of GT1, by for example water-related dispersal of B. anthracis, was eliminated due to the topography of Pafuri, Mahlangeni, and Houtboschrand, as well as the distance involved. Alternative explanations are either that GT1 was dispersed over this distance by vultures, or that GT1 had been present in all three areas and had not been detected previously. Finally, we report here the first evidence of B. anthracis being shed in the milk of two Aepyceros melampus (impala) females.

This study was a pilot investigation of selected milk-borne pathogens in communal cattle in the UMkhanyakude district of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Fifty seven milk samples were collected from 12 bovine tuberculosis (BTB) positive cattle herds. Udder hygiene assessment was also carried out during sample collection. Convenience sampling of milk samples was done during a BTB diagnostic pilot project involving selected BTB positive herds at the Nibela diptank in the uMkhanyakude district. The milk samples were tested for the presence of the following milk borne pathogens: Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), Brucella abortus (B. abortus) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). In addition, the microbiological quality of milk in the study population was assessed by means of total bacterial counts, total coliforms counts and total E. coli counts. A questionnaire survey to determine the level of knowledge, milking hygiene and milk consumption behaviour of 12 households that participated in the BTB pilot study was administered. A total of 21 cattle representing 6 cattle herds, tested positive for B. abortus antibody on Brucella Milk Ring (BMRT) test. The detection of S. aureus in the milk samples was done by bacterial culture, catalase tests, oxidase tests and staphylase tests. The prevalence of S. aureus was found to be 49%. The isolation of B. abortus and M. bovis was attempted but compromised by constraints that were beyond the investigator?s control (drought related decrease in milk production and inadequate laboratory facilities). The constraints included inability to collect adequate quantities of milk as required for tests due to a sharp decrease in milk production of cows during the severe prevailing drought. Lack of adequate laboratory facilities for B. abortus and M. bovis culture in the study area and the resulting long time lag between collection of milk samples and identification of B. abortus and isolation of M. bovis at the designated bacteriology laboratory of DVTD further decreased the probability of successful culture. The seroprevalence of B. abortus in milk was determined by Brucella Milk Ring test and was found to be 38%. The presence of M. bovis was confirmed by PCR in one pooled milk sample from 5 cows. On quantification of total coliforms, 21% of the milk samples had more than 20 cfu/ml and 59% of milk samples contained E. coli. It was found that 59% of the milk samples yielded 100 cfu/ml and 26% of milk samples had results recorded as ?too numerous to count? and 15 % milk samples had total bacterial count of less than 100 CFU/ml. All 10 respondents who reported consumption of milk from their own cattle confirmed that all household members consumed milk on daily basis. With regards to treatment of milk before consumption, 10 respondents indicated that they either boil or sour the milk before consumption. Consumption of raw milk was reported by 1 respondent and only 1 respondent indicated that they sold excess milk. As treatment of milk reduces the risk of zoonotic pathogens transmission from milk to humans the fact that the majority of respondents applied his intervention before consumption can be seen as risk reduction behaviour for the transmission of zoonotic pathogens from milk to humans. Although the results on the presence of B. abortus were inconclusive, the overall findings in the study indicated that the raw milk in the study population posed a high risk of transmitting zoonotic diseases to humans. The cows? milk in this study was found to be of poor microbiological quality because of the presence of M. bovis, high prevalence of S. aureus and the counts for coliforms and E. coli that exceeded the limits set by the South African standards under the Foodstuffs, Cosmetics and Disinfectants Act, No. 54 of 1972: Regulations relating to milk and dairy products.

Limitations on the cultivation of a majority of naturally occurring microbes have spurred the rise of culture-independent methods for the investigation of environmental microbial communities, a field known as metagenomics. This thesis addresses both functional and informatic approaches to metagenomics with the aim of improving our knowledge of carbohydrate degradation. A high throughput functional metagenomic screen was developed and applied to over 350,000 fosmid clones to search for glycoside hydrolases (GHs) in metagenomic libraries. Screening yielded 798 fosmid clones capable of hydrolyzing a model sugar compound, and the genes responsible were subcloned and biochemically characterized for pH and temperature stability, and substrate specificity. The combination of functional and in silico methods developed were used in a longitudinal study of the beaver (Castor canadensis) digestive tract, in order to gain insight into the sequential degradation of biomass. A linear model was used to identify enrichment of endo-acting versus exo-acting GH families at five locations throughout the digestive tract. The discovery of high numbers of GH43 family genes on functionally identified fosmids resulted in their combination with all other known GH43 genes in order to create subfamily classifications that provide finer resolution of enzyme activities. This classification system resulted in an improved ability to assign functional characteristics to enzymes identified through informatic studies. Of the 37 subfamilies created, only 22 contained a characterized enzyme. Fosmids identified earlier in this work harboured genes from four uncharacterized GH43 subfamilies, and future characterization efforts will further our understanding of the GH43 family. Altogether, the developed methods provide a framework for future studies of biomass degradation and improve the power of both functional and in silico metagenomics.

Haptic technology, which engages the sense of touch, offers promising benefits for a variety of interactions including low-attention displays, emotionally-aware interfaces, and augmented media experiences. Despite an increasing presence of physical devices in commercial and research applications, there is still little support for the design of engaging haptic sensations. Previous literature has focused on the significant challenges of technological capabilities or physical realism rather than on supporting experience design. In this dissertation, we study how to design, build, and evaluate interactive software to support haptic experience design (HaXD). We define HaXD and iteratively design three vibrotactile effect authoring tools, each a case study covering a different user population, vibrotactile device, and design challenge, and use them to observe specific aspects of HaXD with their target users. We make these in-depth findings more robust in two ways: generalizing results to a breadth of use cases with focused design projects, and grounding them with expert haptic designers through interviews and a workshop. Our findings 1) describe HaXD, including processes, strategies, and challenges; and 2) present guidelines on designing, building, and evaluating interactive software that facillitates HaXD. When characterizing HaXD processes, strategies, and challenges, we show that experience design is already practiced with haptic technology, but faces unique considerations compared to other modalities. We identify four design activities that must be explicitly supported: sketching, refining, browsing, and sharing. We find and develop strategies to accommodate the wide variety of haptic devices. We articulate approaches for designing meaning with haptic experiences, and finally, highlight a need for supporting adaptable interfaces. When informing the design, implementation, and evaluation of HaXD tools, we discover critical features, including a need for improved online deployment and community support. We present steps to develop both existing and future research software into a mature suite of HaXD tools, and reflect upon evaluation methods. By characterizing HaXD and informing supportive tools, we make a first step towards establishing HaXD as its own field, akin to graphic and sound design.

Recently, there has been a major effort by neuroscientists to systematically organize and integrate vast quantities of brain data. However, electrophysiological properties have been shown to be sensitive to experimental conditions, thus directly comparing them between experiments could lead to inconsistent results. Here, I characterize the general effects of experimental solution composition differences on the reported ephys measurements. For that purpose, I employ text-mining, supplemented with manual curation to gather experimental solution information from published neurophysiological articles. I integrate the extracted information into the existing NeuroElectro database, which contains the electrophysiology, neuron type and experimental conditions information (temperature, electrode type, animal age, etc.) from the above neuroscientific literature. Exploring commonly used experimental solution recipes, I found the effect of solution compositions of explaining variance in electrophysiological properties to be small, relative to the amount of the existing ephys variability. Then, I created models for predicting the variability of ephys properties commonly reported by neurophysiologists, using the available experimental conditions information. These models can be used to remove a portion of the ephys variance when comparing results from different experiments, generally making such comparisons more reliable. To validate their performance, I adjusted a portion of NeuroElectro data to experimental conditions used by Allen Institute for Brain Science and compared the respective ephys properties before and after the adjustment.

Germline CDH1 mutation carriers are at risk for early-onset diffuse gastric cancer and female carriers have an additional risk of lobular breast cancer. Reliable estimates of cancer risk are essential for genetic counselling and clinical management of mutation carriers. Prophylactic total gastrectomy (PTG) to eliminate the gastric cancer risk is an option for mutation carriers. Current information on post-surgical outcomes and quality of life is limited. The objectives of this research were 1) To improve the evidentiary basis of genetic counselling by deriving reliable estimates of cancer risk in CDH1 mutation carriers; 2) To catalogue a comprehensive list of all novel and previously reported germline mutations to date; and 3) To provide data on post-surgical clinical outcomes and to describe the impact of the surgery on participants’ quality of life. Methods: Penetrance was derived from 67 mutation-positive families comprising 4031 individuals (350 affected with gastric cancer and 99 with breast cancer). Participants were recruited through multiple sources for clinical outcomes and quality of life study. Hospital records provided information on clinical outcomes. All participants were asked to complete validated questionnaires measuring generic and condition specific QOL (PROMIS, EORTC and SF 36v.II) at a single point. Results: By age 75 years, the cumulative incidence of gastric cancer was 70% (95% confidence interval [CI], 40%-94%) for males and 56% (95% CI, 27%-90%) for females. The risk of breast cancer for females was 42% (95% CI, 23%-68%) by 75 years. The mutational landscape of CDH1 did not reveal mutational hotspots but several shared mutations are seen in unrelated families. The 53 participants who had undergone PTG reported frequent symptoms of fatigue (59%), abdominal pain (55%), and diarrhea (45%). Cognitive, role and social function plus the symptoms anxiety, pain, taste, dyspnea and diarrhea were significant predictor variables for quality of life (p<0.05). Conclusions: Our more precise and robust penetrance figures will improve genetic counselling of unaffected carriers. Although this study reveals good overall QOL for individuals after PTG, attention should be given to managing symptoms as part of long term care to further enhance quality of life.

Purpose. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate sex differences in the integrated response to high respiratory muscle work during exercise. To accomplish this, I developed two novel methodologies (Chapters 2 & 4) in order to answer two subsequent research questions (Chapters 3 & 5). Methods. Chapter 2: Using computer software coupled with physiological measurements, I measured the oxygen cost of exercise hyperpnea in healthy subjects. Chapter 3: Healthy men and women performed voluntary hyperpnea while the oxygen cost of breathing was determined. The absolute and relative oxygen cost of breathing was compared between the sexes at different absolute and relative ventilation. Chapter 4: Using readily available components, I developed a proportional assist ventilator that could operate during all exercise intensities. Chapter 5: Healthy men and women completed three time-to-exhaustion (TTE) tests and quadriceps muscle fatigue was measured after each. The first TTE served as a control and during the 2nd and 3rd either a hyperoxic mixture was inspired or the work of breathing was lowered. Conclusion The oxygen cost of breathing can be consistently and reproducibly measured in healthy women when the work of breathing during exercise is precisely matched (Chapter 2). At ventilations above ~55 l min-¹, women have a greater oxygen cost of exercise hyperpnea. During intense exercise, the oxygen uptake of the respiratory muscles in women represents a greater fraction of total oxygen uptake (Chapter 3). A proportional assist ventilator can reduce the work of breathing to <70% of control values while maintaining spontaneous breathing patterns. The degree of unloading can be altered, but not in a precise manner (Chapter 4). Hypoxemia equally influences the development of quadriceps fatigue in both sexes. Conversely, due to their higher oxygen cost of breathing, manipulating the work of breathing has a greater influence on quadriceps fatigue in women. The collection of these studies indicates that the normally occurring work of breathing during exercise influences the integrated response to exercise to a greater degree in healthy women.

Fisheries for jellyfish (primarily scyphomedusae) have a long history in Asia, where people have been catching and processing jellyfish as food for centuries. More recently, jellyfish fisheries have expanded to the Western Hemisphere, often driven by demand from buyers in Asia as well as collapses of more traditional local finfish and shellfish stocks. Despite this history and continued expansion, jellyfish fisheries are understudied, and relevant information is sparse and disaggregated. Catches of jellyfish are often not reported explicitly, with countries including them in fisheries statistics as “miscellaneous invertebrates” or not at all. Research and management of jellyfish fisheries is scant to nonexistent. Processing technologies for edible jellyfish have not advanced, and present major concerns for environmental and human health. Presented here is the first global assessment of jellyfish fisheries, including identification of countries that catch jellyfish, as well as which species are targeted. A global catch reconstruction is performed for jellyfish landings from 1950 to 2013, as well as an estimate of mean contemporary catches. Results reveal that all investigated aspects of jellyfish fisheries have been underestimated, including the number of fishing countries, the number of targeted species, and the magnitudes of catches. Contemporary global landings of jellyfish are at least 750,000 tonnes annually, more than double previous estimates. Jellyfish have historically been understudied, resulting in the current dearth of knowledge on population dynamics and jellyfish fishery management. However, many of the tools used in traditional fisheries science, such as length-frequency analysis, can be applied to jellyfish, as demonstrated herein. Research priorities are identified, along with a prospective outlook on the future of jellyfish fisheries.

My thesis research explores themes in self-presentation in the dating profiles of gay men from the Eastern Cape Province on an online dating site for men only. Although there is a growing body of research on this topic, this research is generally located in Europe and North America. In South Africa, research on same-sex intimacies has a chequered history. In the apartheid past, gay men and lesbian women were largely ignored by psychologists and social scientists. And, when they did receive their attention, it was largely discriminatory. In the post-apartheid context, there is far more interest in queer sexualities. However, as this research focuses on HIV transmission and on discrimination and violent homophobia, it too has played a role in painting a gloomy picture of what it means to be queer in South Africa. This study both address a ‘gap in literature’ on gay male dating online by focusing on the South African context, and it addresses the crisis of representation by giving consideration to the ways in which gay men see and present themselves to others. This study takes the form of a content analysis of 200 dating profiles. Key themes in self-presentation emerging in the analysis are: Ethnicity; Age; Education; Geographic Location; Living Arrangements; Sexuality; Relationship Status; Lifestyle; Appearance; Political Outlook; Personality; Faith. I discuss important observations relating to these themes and the insights they provide on key issues shaping public debate on same-sex sexualities in the South African context.

ISA extensions are a very powerful approach to implement new hardware techniques that require or benefit from compiler support: decisions made at compile time can be complemented at runtime, achieving a synergistic effect between the compiler and the processor. This thesis is focused on two ISA extensions: predicate execution and register windows. Predicate execution is exploited by the if-conversion compiler technique. If-conversion removes control dependences by transforming them to data dependences, which helps to exploit ILP beyond a single basic-block. Register windows help to reduce the amount of loads and stores required to save and restore registers across procedure calls by storing multiple contexts into a large architectural register file.

In-order processors specially benefit from using both ISA extensions to overcome the limitations that control dependences and memory hierarchy impose on static scheduling. Predicate execution allows to move control dependence instructions past branches. Register windows reduce the amount of memory operations across procedure calls. Although if-conversion and register windows techniques have not been exclusively developed for in-order processors, their use for out-of-order processors has been studied very little. In this thesis we show that the uses of if-conversion and register windows introduce new performance opportunities and new challenges to face in out-of-order processors.

The use of if-conversion in out-of-order processors helps to eliminate hard-to-predict branches, alleviating the severe performance penalties caused by branch mispredictions. However, the removal of some conditional branches by if-conversion may adversely affect the predictability of the remaining branches, because it may reduce the amount of correlation information available to the branch predictor. Moreover, predicate execution in out-of-order processors has to deal with two performance issues. First, multiple definitions of the same logical register can be merged into a single control flow, where each definition is guarded with a different predicate. Second, instructions whose guarding predicate evaluates to false consume unnecessary resources. This thesis proposes a branch prediction scheme based on predicate prediction that solves the three problems mentioned above. This scheme, which is built on top of a predicated ISA that implement a compare-and-branch model such as the one considered in this thesis, has two advantages: First, the branch accuracy is improved because the correlation information is not lost after if-conversion and the mechanism we propose permits using the computed value of the branch predicate when available, achieving 100% of accuracy. Second it avoids the predicate out-of-order execution problems.

Regarding register windows, we propose a mechanism that reduces physical register requirements of an out-of-order processor to the bare minimum with almost no performance loss. The mechanism is based on identifying which architectural registers are in use by current in-flight instructions. The registers which are not in use, i.e. there is no in-flight instruction that references them, can be early released.

In this thesis we propose a very efficient and low-cost hardware implementation of predicate execution and register windows that provide important benefits to out-of-order processors.

Abstract/Summary Dissertation Divination: Exemplifying and Configuring Archetypes in Ceramics is a study of my research practice. The cards of the tarot can be used as a conceptual framework and source of inspiration for making ceramic sculptures. The cards can be used to understand the creative process as an expression of archetypes. My dissertation discusses these archetypes from the tarot cards, both in their historical operation, their manifestation in my art practice, as well as, examining approaches taken to these archetypes by other artists such as Salvador Dali and Niki de Saint Phalle. The theoretical basis for the dissertation is informed by the writings of Carl G. Jung who has proposed concepts dealing with creativity, coincidence, a collective unconscious and archetypes. These ideas form a model for the understanding of my studio work. As background, the dissertation examines examples of artworks that could be seen to be drawn from a collective unconscious. Studio Work The studio work consists of a series of ceramic sculptures formulating the archetypes that I have derived from the tarot cards. The three dimensional clay, with found inclusions, examines the idea of specific archetypes. These archetypes are titled in the works including: The Fool, Strength, The Magician, Tarot Sun, The Empress II, The Lovers, Empress l, The Chariot I and II The Angel Temperance, The Tarot Devil and The World. The ceramic objects have been created in clay using handbuilding techniques. The clay was such that it could include found ceramic pieces and be refired. The pieces have been re-fired many times to achieve a variety of glaze effects. The works range in size from 30-60 cms approximately and include freestanding sculptures and complementing flat wall works.

This thesis describes the modelling of the major sources of harmonic distortion in electrical transmission systems, especially those of relevance to the New Zealand power system. The harmonics generated by the operation of a.c./d.c. convertors are modelled using an interactive algorithm. The algorithm is applied to a number of test systems and verified using a transient convertor simulation program. A harmonic admittance matrix model of a single phase traction system is derived and used to assess the effect of propossed harmonic filters. In this case the three phase iterative algorithm had to be modified to be able to model the locomotive's single phase convertors. Synchronous machines are modelled using a harmonic Norton equivalent, derived from the d-q axes differential equations. The case of this model yields harmonic impedances consistent with existing models and demonstrates the well known, but greatly ignored, phenomenon of harmonic conversion. The modelling of harmonic conversion is shown to significantly modify the harmonic flows under certain system conditions.

This thesis examines the reengineering of the travel management system and implementation of the Defense Travel System at the Naval Postgraduate School. A review of the reengineering process with different goals and principles is provided as background for understanding the reengineering process. Also, the reengineering process and private sector travel systems are reviewed. Eight steps for reengineering the travel system and a model for the travel system are then proposed. This is followed by a historical overview of the travel reengineering process at the Naval Postgraduate School, a Defense Travel System test site, for designing a new travel system. Data were collected from the current travel system, historical records, and personal interviews. The data analysis is completed with a discussion of the Naval Postgraduate School reengineering process and travelers' views on the reengineered travel system from a random questionnaire survey. The research provides conclusions and recommendations regarding the reengineering process, with directions for future research.

Many cells employ cadherin complexes (c-sites) on the cell membrane to attach to neighboring cells, as well as integrin complexes (i-sites) to attach to a substrate in order to accomplish cell migration. This paper analyzes a model for the motion of a group of cells connected by c-sites. We begin with two cells connected by a single c-site and analyze the resultant motion of the system. We find that the system is irrotational. We present a result for reducing the number of c-sites in a system with c-sites between pairs of cells. This greatly simplifies the general system, and provides an exact solution for the motion of a system of two cells and several c-sites.Then a method for analyzing the general cell system is presented. This method involves 0-row-sum, symmetric matrices. A few results are presented as well as conjectures made that we feel will greatly simplify such analyses. The thesis concludes with the proposal of a framework for analyzing a dynamic cell system in which stochastic processes govern the attachment and detachment of c-sites.

Um dos debates dentro a temática ambiental concentra-se sobre o desenvolvimento de indicadores de sustentabilidade para monitorar, mensurar e avaliar a sustentabilidade do desenvolvimento. Neste contexto, o presente trabalho objetivou desenvolver um método de modelagem de um sistema de indicadores para avaliar a sustentabilidade do sistema dos recursos hídricos, propiciando a participação dos atores sociais e visando ter maior conhecimento do problema e legitimidade do processo da gestão dos recursos hídricos numa bacia hidrográfica. Para tal, adotou-se o paradigma construtivista e foram abordados três temas: gestão ambiental, sistemas de apoio à decisão e indicadores de sustentabilidade. Esta metodologia foi aplicada, através de um estudo de caso, na bacia hidrográfica do Rio dos Sinos. A proposta do sistema de indicadores congrega duas áreas de interesse: a primeira, na perspectiva dos objetivos privados - a sustentabilidade como fluxo de bens e serviços, que contempla 8 Clusters: abastecimento público, abastecimento industrial, irrigação, criação de animais, geração de energia elétrica, navegação, aquicultura, turismo e recreação; a segunda, na perspectiva dos interesses públicos - a sustentabilidade como estoque dos recursos hídricos, que contempla 4 Clusters: regime hidrológico, qualidade da água, estrutura "habitat", resíduos sólidos. Em suma, foram definidos um total de 238 indicadores básicos, alguns deles (88 indicadores) são partilhados entre os Clusters, mostrando a interação dos indicadores e dependência entre os Clusters setoriais do sistema de recursos hídricos. Em termos gerais, recomenda-se empregar esse método se o interesse for, além do resultado, sendo a proposta de um sistema de indicadores de sustentabilidade, também do processo de participação dos atores envolvidos para compreender a problemática dos recursos hídricos. Assim, a modelagem de um sistema de indicadores será feita sob as inter-relações da ciência, política e os valores e objetivos dos atores sociais.

Cocrystals have two or more neutral components (drug and cocrystal former) in the same crystal lattice which are held together via non-covalent bonds. Since the presence of the cocrystal former alters the energy of the drug molecules and their physicochemical properties, the drug dissolution characteristics can be manipulated by cocrystallization. A diffusion-convection-reaction (DCR) model has been developed to predict cocrystal intrinsic dissolution rates from the rotating disk system. In this work, the DCR model was used to further analyze the dissolution characteristics of 1:1 and 2:1 cocrystals. The effects of diffusion, convection and complexation kinetics and equilibrium were evaluated. In addition, the sublimation properties of cocrystals were also studied in order to evaluate the importance of solute-solute and solute-solvent interactions during solid dissolution. In the first study, the phase-solubility study was performed for the acetaminophen(ACE)-2,4-pyridinedicarboxylic acid(PDA) and thymol(THY)2-4,4’-dipyridyl(DP) cocrystals. The aqueous dissolution rates of cocrystals ACE-PDA, THY2-DP, acetaminophen(ACE)-theophylline(THP) and theophylline(THP)-salicylic acid(SA) and their individual components were measured at various disk rotation speeds. The DCR model could predict their dissolution rates and the convection effect with proper model parameters. Moreover, the dissolution rate was predicted to be proportional to the apparent solubility (Sapp), emphasizing solubility as the dominant factor in a cocrystal’s reactive dissolution even with possible variation in reaction kinetics. In the second study, cocrystal dissolution was further analyzed by the DCR model for unionized 1:1 AB and 2:1 A2B cocrystals. For model analysis purpose, the model parameters were varied by several orders of magnitude to describe the dependencies of cocrystal dissolution more accurately. The congruent dissolution behavior can be predicted if all dissociated species are equally diffusive. If all diffusing species have the same diffusion coefficient (D), the cocrystal dissolution rate is independent of the complexation equilibrium and proportional to Sapp or D0.66, as expected. Otherwise, it is dependent upon the complexation equilibrium and all diffusivities. The dissociation kinetics appeared to not affect cocrystal dissolution rates, but it can affect the maintenance of reaction equilibrium in the diffusion layer. The third study focused on the ACE-PDA cocrystal dissolution into various media. Its dissolution rates in 0.05 M NaCl and 0.5 M pH 3.5 phosphate buffer showed that the presence of ions can affect diffusivities of cocrystal components. In pH 1.8-7 media, the cocrystal dissolved faster with higher medium pH or more concentrated buffer solutions, due to more PDA ionized at solid surface. The DCR model predicted the dissolution rate with adjusted diffusion coefficients. It also simulated that the medium effect on cocrystal dissolution rate arose from the change in apparent solubility. In the fourth study, the dissolution and sublimation characteristics of two thymol cocrystals (THY2-DP and thymol(THY)2-1,2-di(4-pyridyl)ethylene (BPE)) were evaluated and compared with their individual components. The sublimation rate was taken as the rate of weight loss at constant temperature. It was found that both cocrystals were less soluble than their components but they sublimed faster than the cocrystal formers and more slowly than thymol. This indicates that after forming cocrystals, the escaping tendency of thymol was reduced while that of cocrystal formers were increased. But during dissolution, the solute-solvent interaction also plays a role. Water may interact with cocrystal formers more than with the cocrystal complexes, enhancing the dissolution.

A study was conducted to examine one aspect of construct validity for the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC). Forty-eight Sioux children at five age levels (8 to 12.5) were used in this study. Relying on theories of child development, most tests of mental abilities have been constructed so that raw scores will increase with age. Pearson r correlation coefficients between age and raw scores were calculated across five age levels for this sample of Sioux children. The Simultaneous-, Sequential-, and Achievement-scale raw scores significantly correlate with age at the .05 level for a one-tailed test of significance. Number Recall and Word Order did not significantly correlate with age. Z-score comparisons between the standardization sample (n = 900) and the Sioux sample were calculated. Statistically significant Z-score discrepancies were obtained on a two-tailed test of significance (.05) for the total Simultaneous scale, for Spatial Memory, and for Hand Movements. Gender differences were found between the Sioux males and standardization males. This study also examined the possible effects of school attendance and gender on three K-ABC global scales. An ANOVA (method of unweighted means) test of statistical significance was computed to determine main and interaction effects on the Simultaneous, Sequential, and Achievement scales. There was no significant main effect between the two classification variables and the three global scale scores. Results did indicate Sioux males tended to obtain lower Sequential scores in the low attendance condition and low attending females obtained lower scores on the Simultaneous scale.

Success of newly discovered chemistry in academia is often scored in terms of its novelty and level of scholarship. In industrial settings, cost, safety and quality are often times the ruler by which new processes are measured. Our group has identified that there is a gap between these two measures of success and has sought to develop principles in order formalize an approach to synthetic strategy and developing ready-to-implement manufacturing processes for molecules, simple and complex. Some of these principles include (1) the development and application of new chemical methods and reactor technologies (2) recognition of globally amenable chemical environments for each chemical step to consolidate unit operations and obviate the need for purification (3) vertical integration of starting materials to generate complexity from the most elementary building blocks in a chemical supply space and (4) the development of new materials that allow for recovery and reuse. These principles are iteratively scored and redeveloped through various metrics that our group has identified as effective tools in maximizing efficiency such as cost of goods (CoG), process mass intensity (PMI) and volume-time output (VTO). The intended benefits of this approach is that these processes become not only cost effective but sustainable and impactful in the manufacturing landscape and increase access of these products to consumers.

Over the past 20 years, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals have made progress in attaining the same basic civil rights as heterosexual individuals. As in other civil rights movements, the college campus has played an important role. The LGBT community participates in academic and campus life, and numerous colleges are developing and supporting an inclusive, safe, and respectful culture. However, bias and prejudice continue to occur. While researchers have studied the repercussions of prejudice, discrimination, and low evaluation scores for LGBT faculty, little research has been done to explore professional identity and activism in LGBT faculty at traditional 4-year universities. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore how the narratives of LGBT faculty at traditional 4-year universities inform the experience of professional identity and activism. Using social identity theory and the concept of activism as conceptual frameworks, 13 faculty from college campuses across the United States were interviewed. The data were analyzed using NVivo software and hand coding. Ten themes were identified: coming out, identity, gender fluidity, stigmatization, campus climate, blatant prejudice and discrimination, resources, advocacy, responsibility, and positive experiences. Participants described professional identity as being fused with their sexual and social identity and described activism as an obligation. The results of this study will be shared in the scholarly and professional communities to support civil rights, activism, and advocacy for the LBGT community on campuses. Future research is recommended regarding the struggles of coming/being out in the academic workplace, as well as activism for LGBT issues on college campuses.

Includes bibliographical references.
Tuberculosis (TB) and HIV co-infection is association with significant morbidity and mortality, especially in young children. Prevention of tuberculosis in children with HIV is a global health priority and is best achieved through a combination of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT). Current WHO guidelines recommend 6 months of IPT for all HIV-infected children older than 1 year without TB disease; up to 3 years is recommended in high TB prevalence areas. Although both ART and IPT can cause liver injury, data on the safety of IPT in HIV-infected children accessing ART is limited, and no published data exist on the hepatotoxicity risk of prolonged IPT. This thesis aims to address these knowledge gaps.

El trabajo incluido en la presente tesis se enmarca dentro del campo de la demostración automática de teoremas y consiste en la estudio, definición y desarrollo de un paradigma de resolución lineal, denominado Resolución SL*. La razón para utilizar la denominación de paradigma reside en el hecho de que en sí misma resolución SL* no es un procedimiento, sino que se puede entender como una forma de razonamiento con ciertos parámetros cuya instanciación da lugar a diferentes procedimientos que son adecuados para el tratamiento de distintos tipos de problemas. Por otro lado, se le ha dado el nombre de resolución SL* porque, como posteriormente se explicará, está muy cercano a Eliminación de Modelos y a resolución SL (de ahí la primera parte del nombre). El asterisco final quiere denotar su parametrización, de forma que los procedimientos instancias de resolución SL* serán denominados con una letra más en vez del asterisco, como posteriormente se verá. La tesis ha sido dividida en cuatro capítulos que se describen brevemente a continuación. En el primero se realiza una breve introducción histórica a la demostración automática, que va desde los orígenes de la lógica con el uso de las primeras notaciones matemáticas formales en el siglo XVI hasta la aparición de los resultados más importantes de la lógica descubiertos por Herbrand, Gödel, Church, etc. Se hace un especial hincapié en este capítulo en la demostración automática realizando un recorrido desde sus orígenes a finales del siglo XVIII hasta el momento actual, en el cual es posible ver cuál ha sido la evolución de este campo y qué descubrimientos y resultados se pueden presentar como los principales puntos de inflexión. En el segundo capítulo se presentan la resolución lineal y algunos de sus principales refinamientos, ya que resolución SL* es un variación de resolución SL y por tanto de resolución lineal. Para ello se introduce el principio de resolución, viendo los problemas de su mecanización, y posteriormente se ven dos refinamientos de resolución: resolución semántica y resolución lineal. Para concluir se estudian los principales refinamientos de resolución lineal: resolución de entrada, resolución lineal con fusión, resolución lineal con subsumción, resolución lineal ordenada, resolución MTOSS y TOSS, Eliminación de Modelos, resolución SL y el sistema MESON. En el tercer capítulo se presentan y estudian con profundidad las principales aportaciones al campo de la demostración automática que se han producido en los últimos años y que están cercanas a la aproximación del presente trabajo. Se han incluido los siguientes trabajos: el demostrador PTTP de Stickel, el sistema MESON basado en secuencias de Plaisted, el demostrador SATCHMO de Manthey y Bry, los procedimientos Near-Horn Prolog de Loveland y otros autores y, por último, el demostrador SETHEO de Bibel y otros autores. Obviamente no se han incluido todos los demostradores y procedimientos, pero sí aquellos que se han considerado como los más interesantes y cercanos a resolución SL* de manera que sea posible realizar comparaciones, de forma que queden patentes las aportaciones realizadas. En el cuarto capítulo se presenta resolución SL*. Se da la definición formal de la misma y se introduce el concepto fundamental de elección de ancestros. La elección de ancestros es el mecanismo que permite controlar la aplicación de la resolución de ancestro haciendo posible una reducción del coste de su aplicación y una adecuación de resolución SL* al tipo de problema a tratar. Posteriormente se ven las principales instancias de resolución SL*, los procedimientos SLT y SLP. En este capítulo se hace un especial hincapié en la elección de ancestros, ya que es la principal aportación de resolución SL*, analizando tanto las ventajas que aporta asociadas al incremento de la eficiencia como el hecho de dotar a resolución SL* la capacidad de adaptarse a los problemas que trata. También en este capítulo se presenta una implementación de resolución SL*, en particular del procedimiento SLT, y se incluyen resultados sobre un conjunto extenso de problemas del campo de la demostración automática. En la última sección de este capítulo se realiza una comparación de resolución SL* con los demostradores y sistemas más cercanos, tanto a nivel de características como de resultados.

Les blessures psychiques ont été présentes au détour de chacun des conflits qui ont jalonné l’Histoire. La première partie de ce travail porte sur la découverte de la névrose traumatique, sa perception dans le cadre militaire, et sur la distinction qui existe entre l’approche psychanalytique européenne centrée sur le trauma et l’entité américaine qui s’est imposée pour se fonder essentiellement sur le stress. Les législations canadiennes et françaises qui encadrent le vétéran et l’ancien combattant atteint de psychosyndrome traumatique vont constituer le sujet de la seconde partie. L’historique du cadre juridique contemporain ; les étapes de la demande d’indemnisation avec leurs caractéristiques et leurs écueils respectifs ; les notions de preuve et d’imputabilité, enfin les particularités de l’expertise médicale sont présentées selon la perspective propre à chaque pays. Des sujets variés issus d’une trame commune qui, relatant l’expérience du vétéran blessé psychiquement pour lequel l’exercice de son droit à réparation prend l’allure d’un second combat, vont permettre de déterminer si, au-delà de la reconnaissance de l’institution ou des attentes déçues, la législation actuelle encadre de manière satisfaisante – ou pas – le droit à réparation.

Thesis submitted to Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia from Universidade Nova de Lisboa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the obtention of the degree of Master of Science in Biotechnology
The emergent demand in medicine and in the biomedical field for polymers that can deliver otherwise insoluble or unstable therapeutic compounds, to reduce the amount of those compounds and to localize the delivery of potent compounds has driven research and pharmaceutical industry to invent new molecules and new synthetic approaches to produce these kinds of “smart” polymers.!! Targeted delivery of drug molecules to organs or special sites is one of the most challenging research areas in pharmaceutical sciences. Thus, in this work two different types of polymeric matrices for the controlled release of bioactive molecules were developed: a) oxazoline-based hydrogel polymers with biological responsiveness built in and b) glycerol dimethacrylate mesoporous microparticles for inhalation into the lungs. For the development of oxazoline-based hydrogels, several methods were tested to achieve the end-capping of living poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) P(EtOx) with a methacrylate unit and it was found that the end-capping with triethylammonium methacrylate was the most suitable methodology for this propose. The obtained macromonomer, P(EtOxMA),was subsequently copolymerized with different percentages (25 and 80%) of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). The copolymers were characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The low critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior of aqueous polymer solutions was investigated by turbidity measurements revealing cloud points that can be tuned from 80 to 55.7 °C by increasing the GMA content. Glycerol dimethacrylate (GDMA) mesoporous microbeads were synthesized by a single-stage free radical polymerization. The effect of added stabilizers (Krytox and Fluorolink C) was investigated. The synthesized polymers were characterized by FTIR,solid state CP-MAS 13C NMR, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and mercury porosimetry. Surface area was also analyzed by the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET)theory. Small mass density particles (0.19-0.37 g cm-3) with controlled size (1 to 3 μm) and homogeneous morphology were obtained by the addition of stabilizers to the polymerization media. The production of the described materials was performed using the green supercritical carbon dioxide technology, leading to well defined polymers providing a sustainable alternative to organic solvents used in conventional synthesis.
