Abstract:

Les stratégies thérapeutiques anticancer sont nombreuses et variées. Elles visent à déclencher la mort des cellules tumorales mais les processus de mort cellulaire diffèrent en fonction du traitement, du type de cellule ciblé et des caractéristiques du patient. A côté des mécanismes classiques tels que l’apoptose et la nécrose, on retrouve également du cannibalisme cellulaire dans les biopsies de tumeurs des patients. Ce phénomène dont les mécanismes sont encore peu caractérisés, correspond à l’internalisation d’une cellule vivante par une cellule vivante. Il est fréquemment suivi par la dégra

Abstract:

Scenes involving the breaking or outright inversion of culinary and (com)mensal norms are frequent in Greek art of the Archaic and Classical periods. The most discussed group of such images involves the uncivilized act of binge drinking unmixed wine and, as a result, losing control of one’s mind and body. Far less studied from an iconographic perspective are scenes of cannibalism, the most extreme and unsettling of all Greek culinary taboos. This paper seeks to define the iconography and meaning of cannibalism in Greek art through an exploration of the individual and shared compositional featu

Abstract:

Cannibalism is a very common phenomenon throughout the animal kingdom. Females of the green dock leaf beetle, Gastrophysa viridula, lay clutches of eggs on the leaves of dock plants (Rumex species). Cannibalism takes the form of larvae eating unhatched conspecific eggs. Both within-clutch and inter-clutch cannibalism were observed. Within-clutch cannibalism was found to be of very limited extent. However, two observations indicated that cannibalism in G. viridula is more important than this finding might suggest. First instar larvae proved to be much more voracious cannibals when given an unli

Abstract:

In this thesis I use mathematical and experimental approaches to show that cannibalistic efferocytosis (where cells consume dead cells of the same type) perpetuates the accumulation of particles inside macrophages. We deduce that particles which are transferred between individuals through cannibalism will concentrate inside the population via a coalescence process. We model this process using a coagulation-fragmentation equation (a system of ordinary differential equations). This time-dependent solution to a simplified version of this model is solved analytically. We confirm this prediction ex

Abstract:

This study proposes that the television series Hannibal (Fuller 2013-2015), with its aesthetic and thematic emphasis on Christian motifs and imagery, is a contemporary apocalyptic fiction. Specifically, this study argues that Hannibal provides a new typology: the metamythic apocalypse narrative. To posit these arguments, I approach the analysis of the television text from four of the stronger concepts that surface in the reading of Hannibal, which are the relationship between cannibalism and divinity, the God-Devil opposition, the We(i)ndigo figure as a symbol of the Holy Trinity, and the Apoc

Abstract:

This thesis is about a body of contemporary neo-Victorian novels whose uneasy relationship with the past can be theorised in terms of aggressive eating, even cannibalism. Cannibalism operates on different levels throughout many works, and there is a sense of surreptitious insistence about it in the genre as a whole. Not only is the imagery of eating repeatedly used by critics to comprehend neo-Victorian literature, the theme of cannibalism itself also appears overtly or implicitly in a number of the novels and their Victorian prototypes, thereby mirroring the cannibalistic relationship between

Abstract:

The Gram positive soil dwelling bacteria Bacillus subtilis produces spores when encountered with a low nutrient environment. However, B. subtilis can delay spore production by a mechanism known as cannibalism. Cannibalism is a process by which B. subtilis delays commitment to sporulation by killing a subpopulation of its cells. This process involves production of two toxins, SDP and SKF. SDP is a 42 amino acid peptide with a disulfide bond derived from the internal cleavage of its precursor protein pro-SdpC. pro-SdpC is part of the

We study a discrete time, structured population dynamic model that is motivated by recent field observations concerning certain life history strategies of colonial- nesting gulls, specifically the glaucouswinged gull ( Larus glaucescens). The model focuses on mechanisms hypothesized to play key roles in a population's response to degraded environment resources, namely, increased cannibalism and adjustments in reproductive timing. We explore the dynamic consequences of these mechanics using a juvenile- adult structure model. Mathematically, the model is unusual in that it involves a high co- di

Natural and sexual selection and sexual conflict are forces shaping the evolution of reproductive behaviour, while constrained by factors like environment, physiology and life-history trade-offs. Parental care is costly both in terms of time and energy. In fish, filial cannibalism is a strategy for caring males to compensate for some of the energy loss. Human impact like eutrophication also alters the basics for animals living in that environment. It is fundamental to any species to adjust its behaviour to a changing environment.
