Abstract:

On September 14, 1981 a major slide was discovered in the upstream slope of San Luis Darn, located about 100 miles southeast of San Francisco, California. The slide occurred at the end of a period of rapid drawdown of the reservoir. Although this was the longest and fastest drawdown in the life of the dam, 180 feet in 120 days, there had been seven previous cycles of drawdown, some nearly as severe as the one that preceded the slide. Field measurements showed the slide was caused by the clayey slopewash material left in the foundation of the dam during construction. Although the slopewash wa

Abstract:

This thesis concerns the use of time-resolved optical techniques to study the efficiency-limiting processes in high open-circuit voltage solar cells. Solution-processed large-area organic solar cells offer the potential for inexpensive and scalable production, but suffer from low efficiency. Currently the quantum efficiency in organic solar cells (the number of electrons extracted per incident photon) is only high when a significant amount of the energy from an absorbed photon is lost during the formation of the photo-induced charge-transfer state. This limits the voltage obtainable from state

The easy access to palatable foods is a major contributing factor for compulsive eating and development of food addiction, a disorder closely linked to obesity and binge eating disorder. The concept of food addiction is still controversial but a validated tool for diagnosis, the Yale food addiction scale (YFAS 2.0), is widely accepted. However, the complex multifactorial nature of this disorder and the unknown neurobiological mechanistic correlation explain the current lack of effective treatments.

Abstract:

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating brain disease that leads to a gradual loss of mental functions. The level of mental activity decline in AD is best correlated with the degree of synaptic loss. The latter is secondary to aggregations of two harmful proteins: neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) and beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptide. Such factors impair inter-neuronal communication thereby weakening the electrical activity of the brain. Non-invasive recording of the electrical activity along the brain scalp, known as Electroencephalography (EEG), reveals an overall power content shift towards the lowe

The characterization of inactivating mutations affecting SNF5 in pediatric rhabdoid tumors constituted the first clear connection between an epigenetic regulator and tumor formation.

However, the exact mechanism by which SNF5 loss causes rhabdoid tumor, and SWI/SNF mutations are involved cancers generally, remains undetermined.

Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) or prion diseases are defined by infectivity and by the pathological damage they produce in the central nervous system (CNS), typically involving spongiform degeneration or vacuolation, deposition of abnormal PrP (PrPSc), glial activation and neuronal loss. Much of our understanding of the TSEs has derived from the study of murine scrapie models. The molecular basis of pathological changes is not clear, in particular the relationship between the deposition of PrPSc and neuronal dysfunction.

Abstract:

A number of strategies to lose weight are available. However, a high inter-individual variability is commonly observed in terms of weight loss and its maintenance in individuals enrolled in different interventions. This high variability is mainly explained by individual differences in the activation of compensatory mechanisms triggered by energy deficits. Increases in appetite ratings as well as the rewarding effects of foods are some of the consequences commonly observed from weight loss induced by caloric restriction.

The evolution of the tetrapod limb from paired fish fins involved drastic changes to the appendicular dermal and endochondral skeleton.

Identifying the molecular mechanisms that contributed to these morphological changes presents a unique insight into our own evolutionary history.

Despite the simple biology of these tumours, no studies have identified the critical pathways involved in tumourigenesis.
