Abstract:
<p> Questions of design in real economic situations are often dynamic. Managerial compensation, repeated auctions, and taxation are good examples. These demand the economic theory of mechanism design to be adept to changing underlying environments and evolving information. Adjusting existing static results to the dynamic models and introducing new ones is thus what the doctor orders. This collection of essays is a contribution to the theory and applications of dynamic mechanism design. </p><p> Chapter 1 asks the question: <i>when can efficient institutions be made self enforcing?</i> To ans

Abstract:
Epithelial layers constitute the skeleton of early embryos and most tissues and organs and their remodelling during development is essential for reshaping the embryo and for tissue architecture. Epithelial expansion in particular, has fundamental roles during early embryogenesis in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Some well-established invertebrate models have contributed greatly to our knowledge of this process. However, we are still far from having a global understanding of the cellular, molecular and mechanical changes involved in this process, the diversity, and relationship between t

Abstract:
Inevitable flaws in the concrete-FRP interface govern plate debonding, and are not amenable to finite element analysis because the models require far more detail than will ever be available for the interface. This thesis describes a global-energy-balance based fracture-mechanics model for the debonding mechanism of externally bonded FRP plates attached to concrete beams. The model investigates the possible propagation of an existing interface crack by considering the energy balance of the beam during a small potential crack extension. The crack will extend if the energy release rate is greater

DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) can be induced by multiple crosslinking agents and are a severe form of DNA damage that prevents strand separation during DNA replication and transcription.

In metazoans, a major pathway of ICL repair is coupled to DNA replication and requires the Fanconi anemia pathway. In most current models, collision of a single DNA replication f

Early studies on fairness by social exchange theorists primarily considered exchange situations, but later on distributive justice researchers, considered allocation situations only.

The load capacity of the punched metal plate timber joints is established, in general, by empirical means as a result of destructive testing in accordance with relevant national standards. The basis of tests is tensile or compressive loading applied parallel and perpendicular to the grain of the timber. In general, the design-analyses of trusses are based on the assumption that joints behave as pins due to the concentration of fasteners in a small area limiting the moment arm. A number of testing methods and apparatus were developed to determine the behaviour of the punched metal plate timber

In ubiquitin (Ub) system, E3 ligases have a central role in mediating substrate ubiquitination and triggering substrate degradation or other signalling transductions. RING E3s are the largest family of E3s and they promote direct Ub transfer from E2’s active site to substrate. Some RING E3s require dimerization for their activity, but structural evidence on the importance of dimerization and the mechanism of Ub transfer are lacking.
