Abstract:
<p> This thesis analyzes the utility of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in testing strength trends in <i>Type A, Ci, Dii, F,</i> and <i> G</i> swords described by the Sandars Bronze Age Aegean classification. Comparing sword composition of a variety of alloys and using three-dimensional models of each sword type, I evaluate the strength and resilience of each sword shape form in thrusting and hacking impact and shearing under a series of force intervals. The results of these tests suggest that there is performance variability between the sword types and that the sword forms generally correlate w

Abstract:
Integrative conjugative elements (ICEs) are responsible for pneumococcal genome evolution and more particularly for virulence and drug resistance acquisition. During conjugation, ICEs transfer from a donor cell containing the genetic element to a recipient cell lacking it. ICEs insert into the bacterial genome, excise from it and form a covalently closed circular intermediate which can integrate in a different genomic site and/or can integrate in a new genome upon conjugative transfer. Tn5253 is a composite ICE of Streptococcus pneumoniae conferring resistance to tetracycline and chloramphe

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine whether functional ecdysone response elements (EcREs) exist within the genome of Brugia malayi, a parasitic nematode that causes lymphatic filariasis. The hypothesis that EcREs exist in B. malayi stemmed from previous demonstration of a functional ecdysone response system in B. malayi (Tzertzinis et al., 2010). Real-time PCR (qPCR) experiments were conducted to measure gene expression levels for twelve genes proximal to five putative EcREs in 20-OH ecdysone treated and untreated B. malayi embryos. Seven genes showed consistent upregulation with 20-OH ecdy

Abstract:
In this work, we have implemented an orbital-free density functional theory (OF-DFT) solver using the finite element method. In OF-DFT, the total ground state energy is minimized directly with respect to the electron density, rather than via orbitals like in the standard Kohn-Sham approach. For this to be possible, one needs an approximation of a universal density functional of the non-interacting kinetic energy. Presently available approximations allow for computation with very low computational expense, but which gives inaccurate energies. A stable OF-DFT code can be used as a testbed for ne

Background: The ubiquitous chromatin opening element (UCOE) derived from the human HNRPA2B1-CBX3 housekeeping gene locus (A2UCOE) is able to provide highly reproducible and stable expression even from transgenes integrated within extreme heterochromatic regions (such as centromeres). The A2UCOE consists of the methylation-free CpG island encompassing the dual divergently transcribed promoters of HNRPA2B1 and CBX3. The proposed mechanism of A2UCOE function is a two-component model: (i) an extended methylation-free CpG island and (ii) dual divergent transcription with an inherent chromatin openi

These techniques are then used to explore the mechanism of this behaviour. The findings of the atomistic modelling are then used as a template to create networks of bending beams with tailored Poisson’s ratio
