Abstract:
Cette thèse a pour but d’étudier quelques problèmes dans l'analyse harmonique sur les produits croisés tordus qui sont définis par des actions tordues d'un groupe localement compact G sur une algèbre de von Neumann M. Elle se compose de deux parties. La première porte sur les produits croisés tordus et leurs multiplicateurs de Fourier et de Schur. Nous démontrons que la propriété d’être QWEP pour l’algèbre de von Neumann tordue d’un groupe G est indépendante du 2-cocycle sous-ajacent et que les Lp-multiplicateurs de Fourier complètement bornés sur cette algèbre tordue sont aussi indépendants d

Abstract:
The amount of pain we feel is not always directly related to the amount of damage our body suffers. In fact, research over the last decade has shown that the experience of pain is strongly linked with how we feel about our body, including its shape and how much we like it. Chronic pain is associated with a distorted mental representation of the body, which can have a significant impact on everyday live. Evidence suggests that multisensory illusions can modulate pain and can lead to changes in body perception. However, the factors that may contribute to previously observed analgesic effects rem

Abstract:
Sulphathiazole is a highly polymorphic model system exhibiting at least five polymorphic forms: I, II, III, IV, and V. Polymorph stability is known to be susceptible to solvent environment, and it is established that 1-propanol stabilizes the most metastable form I. This study examines the effect of a range of alcohols on polymorph selection and attempts to elucidate the mechanism. The role of the alcohol functional group in the polymorph selection process is thus investigated and evaluated.

Abstract:
Lo studio del lato soggettivo del rapporto è centrale nella teoria dell’obbligazione. Ci si chiede se la modificazione di una o anche di entrambe le parti del rapporto determini sempre la sua estinzione o se, invece, si conservi la sua unitarietà oggettiva. La risposta a questo interrogativo è stata diversa a seconda delle diverse epoche storiche. Nel diritto romano si riteneva che la variazione di qualunque soggetto determinasse l’estinzione del rapporto e la costituzione di una nuova obbligazione (novazione soggettiva). Tale soluzione è stata osteggiata dai codificatori moderni per i quali,

Abstract:
The aim of this project was to investigate the role of lipid rafts in actin-mediated phagocytosis. Lipid rafts are defined as highly condensed membrane domains enriched in cholesterol and glycosphingolipids and are thought to participate in a range of cellular functions including actin-mediated phagocytosis. Remodelling of the actin skeleton facilitates the formation of a phagocytic membrane cup and drives the uptake of particles. Hence, actin restructuring is essential for phagocytosis.

The effect of dolomite on limestone rheology, and the potential for strain localization in composites have not yet been fully quantified.

We examined phagosome maturation from the perspective of two factors, one host- and one pathogen-derived.

The analytical approach suggested here can further be applied to the works of many other Art Cinema auteurs, and, by extension, to other cinematic modes as well, for a better understanding of the functions, implications, and consequences of various forms of silence in the cinema.

The tau effect, a perceptual phenomenon discovered by Vittorio Benussi in 1907, is of particular interest for this field. The tau effect indeed shows that the duration of temporal intervals influences the perception of spatial distances in the sense of “equation” (e.g. briefer temporal intervals corresponded to perceptual shorter sp

Abstract:
Durante más de 40 años el 5-Fluorouracilo (5-FU), inhibidor de la Timidilato Sintasa (TS), ha sido la terapia estándar en el tratamiento del cáncer colorrectal (CCR). Uno de los principales obstáculos en el tratamiento es la resistencia a quimioterapia. Numerosos estudios demuestran que la resistencia a 5-FU es un evento multifactorial que incluye alteraciones en el transporte, el metabolismo, la diana terapéutica, el ciclo celular y los mecanismos de apoptosis. La sobreexpresión del gen TS correlaciona clínicamente con la resistencia a 5-FU. En el presente estudio se generaron dos líneas resi

Abstract:
Oxidation of lipids influences the color and sensory qualities of meat products. Meat with a high fat content, such as ground meat, is susceptible to lipid oxidation that leads to the development of negative flavor and color changes. Antioxidants, such as butylated hydroxanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytolune (BHT) and extracts of rosemary, are used in meat products to control the effects of lipid oxidation. Awika (2000, 2003) found that sorghum bran phytochemicals have high antioxidant properties. Our objective is to evaluate the pH, color, sensory and antioxidant effect of 10, 20 and 30% gro

Abstract:
A study of the temperature dependence of the resistivity of gated SiGe quantum well structures has revealed a metal-insulator transition as a function of carrier density at zero magnetic field. Although early scaling theories (Abrahams et al., 1979) have argued against the existence of a metal-insulator transition at zero temperature in infinite 2D and 1D systems, more recent theoretical results using a random set of two-dimensional point potentials have shown that such a transition is allowed in two dimensions (Az'bel, 1992). Mounting experimental evidence for such a transition in 2D systems

Abstract:
Interferon (IFN)τ is the luteotrophic signal in ruminants and is secreted by bovine blastocysts both in vivo and in vitro. IFNτ secretion is highly variable and its control is only partly understood. Most studies on the effects of environmental factors on IFNτ production have evaluated IFNτ production during the time of embryo elongation and attachment. There is less knowledge of how IFNτ production at the blastocyst stage is modulated. Therefore, the hypothesis of this thesis was that the amounts of IFNτ expressed and/or secreted by bovine blastocysts produced in vitro were modulated by envir

Abstract:
Documentary is a genre of film that portrays "real" events using depictions that connote the objectivity and facticity implied by the processes of photorealism. Many contemporary documentary theorists and critics observe a constitutive problem in this ethos: despite the apparent constructions and agendas of documentary filmmaking, the framing and assumption of documentary as a window on the world tend to naturalize its own constructions as "real." Critics who engage documentary trace the multitude of ways this problem plays out in particular films. These projects yield many important insights,

Abstract:
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disease that affects 4% of the general population and is expected to increase to 5.4% by the year 2025. A clear understanding of the aetiology of T2D susceptibility and pathogenesis will thus have a noticeable impact on global health. The black South African population is currently under increased risk for developing T2D due to the impact of urbanisation. Since the mechanisms of disease risk in this population differ to that of the so-called developed countries, it is necessary that the exact pathogenesis of this disease be elucidated in order to define suita

Enterprises can be empowered to live up to the potential of becoming dynamic, agile and real-time. Service orientation is emerging from the amalgamation of a number of key business, technology and cultural developments. Three essential trends in particular are coming together to create a new revolutionary breed of enterprise, the service-oriented enterprise (SOE): (1) the continuous performance management of the enterprise; (2) the emergence of business process management; and (3) advances in the standards-based service-oriented infrastructures.
