Abstract:

The paper is devoted to the construction of the exponential function of a matrix pseudo-differential operator which do not satisfy any of the known theorems (see, Sec.8 Ch.VIII and Sec.2 Ch.XI of [17]). The applications to the construction of the fundamental solution for the Cauchy problem for the hyperbolic operators with the characteristics of variable multiplicity are given, too.

In questa tesi si mostrano alcune applicazioni degli integrali ellittici nella meccanica Hamiltoniana, allo scopo di risolvere i sistemi integrabili. Vengono descritte le funzioni ellittiche, in particolare la funzione ellittica di Weierstrass, ed elenchiamo i tipi di integrali ellittici costruendoli dalle funzioni di Weierstrass. Dopo aver considerato le basi della meccanica Hamiltoniana ed il teorema di Arnold Liouville, studiamo un esempio preso dal libro di Moser-Integrable Hamiltonian Systems and Spectral Theory, dove si prendono in considerazione i sistemi integrabili lungo la geodetica

Abstract:

Radial basis function methods exhibit several very attractive properties such as a high order convergence of the approximated solution and flexibility to the domain geometry. However the method in its classical formulation becomes impractical for problems with relatively large numbers of degrees of freedom due to the ill-conditioning and dense structure of coefficient matrix. To overcome the latter issue we employ a localisation technique, namely a partition of unity method, while the former issue was previously addressed by several authors and was of less concern in this thesis.

Abstract:

Post-transcriptional control of gene expression is critical for normal cellular function and viability. Poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) 1 is the prototypical member of a family of RNA-binding proteins which are key post-transcriptional regulators. PABP1 is multifunctional, acting as a primary determinant of translation efficiency and mRNA stability, regulating the fate of specific mRNAs, and participating in microRNAmediated regulation and nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. As well as binding various mRNAs, PABP1 achieves its multifunctionality through protein-protein interactions with numerous PABP

Abstract:

The plant hormones gibberellins (GAs) regulate multiple processes of plant development. Most of this regulation occurs at the transcriptional level, through the activity of the DELLAs, which are nuclear-localized proteins subjected to GA-mediated proteolitic degradation. DELLAs are encoded by five genes, and genetic studies show that each DELLA displays specific, but also partially overlapping roles with respect to their paralogs. In this Thesis, we have addressed two issues: (1) the contribution of DELLA multiplication to the diversification of functions controlled by GAs; and (2) the identif

Abstract:

The core promoter is the ultimate target of all transcriptional regulatory processes. The recently discovered diversity of core promoters and basal transcription factors suggests a regulatory role in differential gene expression. However, the direct contribution of the core promoter remains poorly understood. I investigated core promoters and their putative role in differential gene regulation using the zebrafish embryo as an in vivo model system. To analyse the functional requirement for the general transcription factor TATA-box binding protein (TBP), a diverse set of promoters was tested for

Abstract:

The Hilbert-P\'olya conjecture asserts that the non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s)$ correspond (in a certain canonical way) to the eigenvalues of some positive operator. R. Meyer constructed a differential operator $D_-$ acting on a function space $\H$ and showed that the eigenvalues of the adjoint of $D_-$ are exactly the nontrivial zeros of $\zeta(s)$ with multiplicity correspondence. We follow Meyer's construction with a slight modification. Specifically, we define two function spaces $\H_\cap$ and $\H_-$ on $(0,\infty)$ and characterize them via the Mellin transform.

Human inflammatory/innate immune responses lie at the core of resistance to infectious disease and determine the nature of pathophysiological reactions of hematopoietic cells like leukaemia and allergy.

The mechanisms underlying this crucial biochemical dogma, and its role in normal and pathological cross-links between immune cells, are not well understood.

We discuss an analytic solution formulation for the Biharmonic equation which allows us to define a function based geometry whereby the resulting geometry can be visualised efficiently at arbitrary levels of sha

African large mammalian herbivores are highly diverse and vary greatly in body size, a characteristic linked to vulnerability to predation.

Ett deskriptorsystem är en matematisk beskrivning som kan innehålla både differentialekvationer och algebraiska ekvationer. En av anledningarna till intresset för denna klass av system är att objekt-orienterade modelleringsverktyg ger systembeskrivningar på denna form. Här kommer det att antas att det, åtminstone lokalt, är möjligt att eliminera de algebraiska ekvationerna och få ett system på tillståndsform. Teoretiskt är detta inte så inskränkande för genom att använda någon indexreduktionsmetod kan gan

Abstract:

The Cross Ambiguity Function (CAF) is often used for passive geolocation of an emitter based on the time difference of arrival (TDOA) and frequency difference of arrival (FDOA) of the received signals. CAF performance has been thoroughly investigated in regards to traditional single-input single-output (SISO) signals. Little is known about how the CAF will respond to signals from multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems which utilize multiple antennas. This thesis focuses on characterizing the CAF's magnitude distribution in order to determine the probability of correctly determining the
