Abstract:

AbstractLet (V,0) be the germ of an analytic variety in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and f an analytic function germ defined on V. For functions with isolated singularity on V, Bruce and Roberts introduced a generalization of the Milnor number of f, which we call Bruce–Roberts number, μBR(V,f). Like the Milnor number of f, this number shows some properties of f and V. In this paper we investigate algebraic and geometric characterizations of the constancy of the Bruce–Roberts number for families of functions with isolated singularities on V. We also discuss the topological invariance of the Bruce–Roberts number for families of quasihomogeneous functions defined on quasihomogeneous varieties. As application of the results, we prove a relative version of the Zariski multiplicity conjecture for quasihomogeneous varieties.

Abstract:

This essay examines the role of repetition in the two novels Älskaren (The Lover) by Marguerite Duras and Den amerikanska flickan (The American Girl) by Monika Fagerholm, through a thematic and comparative reading. The study mainly uses Bruce F. Kawin’s analysis of repetition in literature and language as well as it refers to Cathy Jellenik and her analysis of rewriting in the works of Duras. The study also takes into Julia Kristeva’s idea of Duras as a writer lacking of catharsis. Furthermore, the essay analyses both novels by applying Sigmund Freud’s term “repetition compulsion”. The essay shows how Fagerholm and Duras both use permissive writing, which means that the authors boldly write clichéd replications in their texts. Both writers practice what Kristeva calls “an aesthetics of awkwardness”. Aswell, the authors both question whether a story at all is able to be told: they work with what Jellenik calls “an aesthetics of doubt”, but in different ways. Moreover, by using the work of Kawin, the essay shows how the authors have different ways of handling time. The study shows indications of repetition compulsion in the characters and also exemplifies instances of what Kristeva calls “reduplication”. Through this a fragmentary and Nietzschean perspective of the self is displayed in the novels. The study review how Duras can be said to be a writer lacking of catharsis, while Fagerholm on the other hand liberates one of her protagonists from repetition compulsion by allowing the character to undergo a catharsis. Finally, the essay conclusion points out that Duras and Fagerholm are postmodern writers who know how to challenge the concept of truth. Even if they are different writers in many aspects, they both use repetition as a method to express something unspeakable. They can be said to write also by an aesthetics of search for the truth; a search for an origin tale which they both argue as biased and is therefore impossible to capture.

Abstract:

One of the greatest problems for sub-Saharan Africa is shortage of epidemiological data to support planning for provision of adequate public and animal health services. The overriding challenge is to provide the necessary resources to facilitate the process of regular data collection in support of disease surveillance and vector monitoring across target regions. Due to such circumstances, there is currently an increasing interest towards devising cheaper but yet significantly reliable means for availing the needed epidemiological and vector data for planning purpose. This study comes as a contribution towards solving such challenges. The study has three research components starting with a review of past Uganda national tsetse and trypanosomiasis control efforts as a means towards appreciating the dynamics of controlling the vector and disease. This is an analysis of what was applied, what worked, what didn't, and why it didn’t as linked to the broader vector and disease control system. Secondly through the use of remote sensing, geographical information systems and global positioning technologies tsetse species were sampled within Lake Victoria Basin. Only two species of tsetse were trapped, G. f. fG. f. fuscipes which was widely distributed across the surveyed area, and G. Pallidipes which was detected in a few isolated locations close to the border with Kenya in Eastern Uganda. The analysis of land cover with tsetse findings showed an important association between G. f. fuscipes and particular vegetation mosaics. Unfortunately, while the results are highly informative, approaches for data collection such as this one are costly and unlikely to be sustained by the already over-burdened health systems in the low developed countries of Africa. The third and main part of this study investigates, demonstrates and delivers the possibilities of applying spatial epidemiological modelling techniques to produce both tsetse distribution and abundance maps. Four spatial and non-spatial regression models (Logistic, Autologistic, Negative binomial and Auto-negative binomial), were constructed and used to predict tsetse fly presence and tsetse fly abundance for the study area. The product is an improved understanding of association between environmental variables and tsetse fly distribution/abundance and maps providing continuous representations of the probability of tsetse occurrence and predicted tsetse abundance across the study area. The results indicate that tsetse presence and abundance are influenced differently. Tsetse abundance is highly determined by river systems while tsetse presence is majorly influenced by forested landscapes. Therefore, efforts to control trypanosomiasis through vector control in the Lake Victoria basin will call for delineation of such clearly identified high tsetse accumulation zones for targeted tsetse control operations. This will ensure optimum utilization of the scarce resources and above all contribute to the protection of humans and animals against trypanosomiasis infection.

Abstract:

Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness in humans and Nagana in cattle. There are no vaccines available against the disease and the current treatment is also not satisfactory because of inefficacy and numerous side effects of the used drugs. T. brucei lacks de novo synthesis of purine nucleosides; hence it depends on the host to make its purine nucleotides. T. brucei has a high affinity adenosine kinase (TbAK), which phosphorylates adenosine, deoxyadenosine (dAdo), inosine and their analogs. RNAi experiments confirmed that TbAK is responsible for the salvage of dAdo and the toxicity of its substrate analogs. Cell growth assays with the dAdo analogs, Ara-A and F-Ara-A, suggested that TbAK could be exploited for drug development against the disease. It has previously been shown that when T. brucei cells were cultivated in the presence of 1 mM deoxyadenosine (dAdo), they showed accumulation of dATP and depletion of ATP nucleotides. The altered nucleotide levels were toxic to the trypanosomes. However the salvage of dAdo in trypanosomes was dramatically reduced below 0.5 mM dAdo. Radiolabeled dAdo experiments showed that it (especially at low concentrations) is cleaved to adenine and converted to ATP. The recombinant methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (TbMTAP) cleaved methylthioadenosine, dAdo and adenosine into adenine and sugar-1-P in a phosphate-dependent manner. The trypanosomes became more sensitive to dAdo when TbMTAP was down-regulated in RNAi experiments. The RNAi experiments confirmed that trypanosomes avoid dATP accumulation by cleaving dAdo. The TbMTAP cleavage-resistant nucleoside analogs, FANA-A and Ara-A, successfully cured T. brucei-infected mice. The DNA building block dTTP can be synthesized either via thymidylate synthase in the de novo pathway or via thymidine kinase (TK) by salvage synthesis. We found that T. brucei and three other parasites contain a tandem TK where the gene sequence was repeated twice or four times in a single open reading frame. The recombinant T. brucei TK, which belongs to the TK1 family, showed broad substrate specificity. The enzyme phosphorylated the pyrimidine nucleosides thymidine and deoxyuridine, as well as the purine nucleosides deoxyinosine and deoxyguanosine. When the repeated sequences of the tandem TbTK were expressed individually as domains, only domain 2 was active. However, the protein could not dimerize and had a 5-fold reduced affinity to its pyrimidine substrates but a similar turnover number as the full-length enzyme. The expressed domain 1 was inactive and sequence analysis revealed that some active residues, which are needed for substrate binding and catalysis, are absent. Generally, the TK1 family enzymes form dimers or tetramers and the quaternary structure is linked to the affinity for the substrates. The covalently linked inactive domain-1 helps domain-2 to form a pseudodimer for the efficient binding of substrates. In addition, we discovered a repetition of an 89-bp sequence in both domain 1 and domain 2, which suggests a genetic exchange between the two domains. T. brucei is very dependent on de novo synthesis via ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) for the production of dNTPs. Even though T. brucei RNR belongs to the class Ia RNR family and contains an ATP-binding cone, it lacks inhibition by dATP. The mechanism behind the RNR activation by ATP and inactivation by dATP was a puzzle for a long time in the ~50 years of RNR research. We carried out oligomerization studies on mouse and E. coli RNRs, which belongs to the same family as T. brucei, to get an understanding of the molecular mechanism behind overall activity regulation. We found that the oligomerization status of RNRs and overall activity mechanism are interlinked with each other.<br>Targeting the nucleotide metabolism of the mammalian pathogen Trypanosoma brucei.

Abstract:

La rouille brune due a puccinia recondita f. Sp. Tritici est une tres grave maladie du ble dans le sud-ouest de la france. Sa biologie a ete analysee pour comprendre l'origine des variations dans la dynamique des epidemies. Apres avoir detaille le fonctionnement de la lutte phytosanitaire, nous avons etudie la maladie en conditions naturelles pour decrire ses differentes phases. Nous avons observe le pathogene sur les repousses a la fin de l'ete, au cours de l'automne et en hiver. Les contaminations primaires ont ete detectees des la levee des bles en automne. La maladie a ete mise en evidence durant l'hiver sur les cultures. Nous avons rencontre au printemps un hyperparasite (sphaerellopsis filum) qui peut occasionnellement modifier l'evolution de la maladie. A partir de la montaison des bles, il se distingue deux phases d'evolution successives. La premiere prepare l'epidemie. Quelques uredosores y sont visibles avec un niveau d'attaque tres faible. Elle peut durer de quelques jours a quelques semaines. La seconde est l'expansion epidemique rapide conduisant a de graves baisses de rendement. L'epoque de declenchement de cette phase presente une tres forte variation locale, regionale et annuelle. Le demarrage de l'explosion epidemique a ete correle avec les humidites relatives elevees (duree et moyenne) et la temperature moyenne. Nous avons utilise ces equations comme elements previsionnels et decisionnels pour le premier traitement fongicide

Abstract:

Dans le cadre de la recherche de planètes extrasolaires et de naines brunes, cette thèse innove en se focalisant sur le cas d'étoiles naines de type spectral A et F, plus chaudes que le Soleil. J'ai développé une nouvelle méthode de mesure de vitesses radiales, que j'ai testée puis appliquée lors de recherches systématiques avec les spectrographes ELODIE et HARPS, qui a abouti pour le moment à la découverte de deux planètes et d'une naine brune, et de nombreux candidats. J'ai aussi développé des diagnostics de la présence de pulsations ou d'activité affectant la surface stellaire et les vitesses radiales mesurées. J'ai aussi conduit cette recherche en imagerie directe à haute résolution angulaire, en utilisant les instruments PUEO et NACO. Les compagnons candidats détectés doivent être confirmés. Cette recherche permettra d'établir les caractéristiques des planètes et naines brunes autour d'étoiles A et F, et l'influence de la masse de l'étoile-hôte sur les processus de formation.

These were called the SF Underground by John Shirley and included Scott Edelman, Lewis Shiner, Bruce Sterling, Rudy Rucker, Paul Di Filippo and others. Like the New Wave of the 1960s they influenced the sf mainstream through broadening ideas, techniques and content. Some of the fiction was dubbed slipstream. Key magazines were PULPHOUSE, NEW PATHWAYS and NOVA EXPRESS.

Abstract:

Disease is a head of the Hydra, War. In his classic book, The Epidemics of the Middle Ages, J. F. C. Hecker (1859) paints an apocalyptic picture of the war–disease association. For Hecker, infectious diseases, the ‘unfettered powers of nature . . . inscrutable in their dominion, destructive in their effects, stay the course of events, baffle the grandest plans, paralyse the boldest flights of the mind, and when victory seemed within their grasp, have often annihilated embattled hosts with the flaming sword of the angel of death’ (Hecker, 1859: 212). The theme is developed by August Hirsch who, in the second edition of his Handbook of Geographical and Historical Pathology (1883), was repeatedly moved to comment on the manner in which wars fuelled the spread of infectious diseases. Writing of Asiatic cholera in the Baltic provinces and Poland in 1830–1, Hirsch concluded that the ‘military operations of the Russo-Polish war contributed materially to its diffusion’ (i. 398). Similarly, Hirsch traced one of the last ‘considerable’ outbreaks of bubonic plague in nineteenth-century Europe to ‘1828–29, when the Russian and Turkish forces came into collision in Wallachia’ (i. 503–4), while the waves of typhus fever that rolled around early-modern Europe were attributed to ‘the turmoil of great wars, which . . . shook the whole framework of European society to its foundations’ (i. 549). In much earlier times, Book I of Homer’s epic poem the Iliad—which may well be based on historical fact—tells of a mysterious epidemic that smote the camp of the Greek Army outside Troy around 1200 BC. According to Homer, the fate of King Agamemnon’s legions was sealed thus: . . . Say then, what God the fatal strife provoked? Jove’s and Latona’s son; he filled with wrath Against the King, with deadly pestilence The camp afflicted,—and the people died,— For Chryses’ sake . . . . . . Elsewhere, the celebrated works of ancient Greek historians—Herodotus (?484–?425 BC) on the later Assyrian Wars, Thucydides (?460–?395 BC) on the Great Peloponnesian War and Diodorus Siculus ( fl. first century BC) on the Carthaginian Wars—all attest to the antiquity of the war–disease association. Of ancient Rome, Bruce-Chwatt notes that ‘Foreign invaders . . . found that the deadly fevers of the Compagna Romana protected the Eternal City better than any man-made weapons’ (cited in Beadle and Hoffman, 1993: 320).
