Abstract:

Epilepsy accounts for 0.5% of the global burden of disease, and primary prevention of epilepsy represents one of the three 2007 NINDS Epilepsy Research Benchmarks. Efforts to understand and intervene in the process of epileptogenesis have yielded fruitful preventative strategies in animal models. This article reviews the current understanding of epileptogenesis, introduces the concept of a "critical period" for epileptogenesis, and examines strategies for epilepsy prevention in animal models of both acquired and genetic epilepsies. As proof of principle, we investigated whether early preventat

Abstract:

Nel corso degli ultimi decenni la fisica sperimentale ha raggiunto notevoli traguardi nel campo della manipolazione di sistemi di atomi freddi, riaccendendo l'interesse della ricerca su sistemi a lungo studiati teoricamente, ma fino a poco tempo fa impossibili da realizzare sperimentalmente. Questa riaccesa attenzione ha permesso di sfruttare le moderne capacità di calcolo per studiare sistemi quantistici che ancora risultano di difficile realizzazione. In questo contesto si inserisce il rinnovato interesse per i sistemi quantistici monodimensionali caratterizzati dalla presenza di potenziale

Abstract:

Holographic dualities are now an established tool in the study of universal properties of strongly coupled field theories. Yet, theories without translational symmetry are still poorly understood in this context. In this dissertation, we investigate three new approaches to this challenging problem. The first part of the dissertation concerns a class of phenomenological holographic models in which momentum relaxation can be achieved without breaking translational symmetry in the dual geometry. In particular, we focus on an example in which the dual geometry is similar to anti-de Sitter (AdS) Br

Abstract:

The microbiota-gut-brain axis is a multidirectional communication chain between the central and enteric nervous systems that relates brain function to peripheral intestinal functions. Gut microbiome composition is influential within the axis because different bacteria produce different shortchain fatty acid markers. Short-chain fatty acids can cross the blood-brain barrier to induce neuroinflammation and likely affect neural development. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that has no defined etiology, cure, or therapeutic treatment. Neuroinflammation, microbiome

Muscle Dysmorphia (MD) has recently been conceptualized as the male form of Eating Disorders (ED), although it is not currently classified as an ED. The current study compares etiological models of MD symptomatology (based on Grieve's [2007] conceptual model of MD) and ED symptomatology (based on Stice's [1994] conceptual model of Bulimia Nervosa). In both models, it was hypothesized that sociocultural influences on appearance (SIA) would predict body dissatisfaction (BD), and that this relationship would be mediated by self-esteem (SE) and perfectionism (P); that BD would predict negative aff

This study investigated the use of "naturalistic stressors" such as physical restraint and animal pheromones on the etiology of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in a murine model. Pilot data suggest that stress effects may lead to an increase in the amount of time needed for cutaneous wounds to heal. Pilot data to support the creation of this model are presented suggesting that a delayed stress response may inhibit healing rates.

Taphonomy is the study of the fate of information in the fossil record.

In Bahia la Choya, northern Gulf of California, bioerosion, dissolution/maceration, and abrasion produce distinctive textures on the surfaces of shells in intertidal and shallow subtidal environments.

Abstract:

In disordered alloys, atoms belonging to the same chemical element will exhibit different environments. This leads to variations in the atoms’ local electronic structures, which in turn leads to variations in the binding energies of their core levels. These binding energies can be measured experimentally using core level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Therefore, in theory at least, core level XPS can be used to resolve different environments in alloys. However, to make this a reality one must understand how an atom’s local electronic structure, and hence the binding energies of its co

In Chapter 2, we attempt a diagrammatic perturbative analysis of the QREM from the ergodic side, proceeding by analogy to the single-particle theory of weak localisation.

Quantum phase transitions are considered via a quantum to classical mapping. Central questions are if the presence of defects changes universal properties and what qualitative implications
