Abstract:
Any system that models a real world application has to evolve to be consistent with its changing domain. Dealing with evolution in an effective manner is particularly important for those systems that may store large amounts of data such as databases and persistent languages. In persistent programming systems, one of the important issues in dealing with evolution is the specification of code that will continue to work in a type safe way despite changes to type definitions. Polymorphism is one mechanism which allows code to work over many types. Inclusion polymorphism is often said to be a model

[Truncated abstract] For the convenience of the reader, detailed figures and tables have been enlarged and compiled in Appendix 2, at the end of this thesis. This thesis is presented as an approach to identify, annotate and detect genomic duplication and polymorphism within large genomic regions. To demonstrate this, I have used as a model, the genomic region known as the Regulators of Complement Activation (RCA). The RCA complex is located on the long arm of chromosome 1 at position 1q32 and is a reservoir of complement regulatory proteins. The genes of the RCA share many similarities implyi

Abstract:
In this work we describe a category of domains, whose objects are in general categories instead of posets, such that J.-Y. Girard's category of qualitative domains and stable functions is contained in it as a full subcategory. We describe two ways of interpreting Martin-Lof type theory in this category, the first one allowing $ Sigma$ and $ Pi$, the second one only $ Pi$. Finally we show how to extend the second interpretation to a model of the theory of constructions.

Abstract:
Biomineralisation is the process by which living things produce hard mineral tissues with unique physical properties. The study of this process can help us produce biomimetic materials, reproducing such properties, with the study of nucleation and crystallisation of the materials being particularly important. I have used molecular simulation techniques to help gain a greater understanding of these processes, focussing particularly on identifying the conformations and solid phases available to nanoparticles of two biomineral compounds.

The folding of a protein from a linear chain of amino acids into its functional native state is one of the most widely investigated yet enigmatic events to take place in the natural world. An ever‐increasing number of proteins and peptides are known to fold, or “misfold”, into protease‐resistant amyloid fibrils that share a common cross‐β structure, despite having no apparent sequence homology. Self‐assembly of particular proteins or peptides into amyloid is believed to be the molecular basis of many diseases, including Alzheimer's Disease, Type II diabetes and the transmissible spongiform enc

Abstract:
Plumage polymorphism is displayed in a number of diverse species and therefore, is presumed to have evolved independently on multiple occasions. To date, no study has established whether any of the hypotheses proposed to explain its evolution in single species are relevant across all avian taxa. Using comparative analyses which included all species displaying a plumage polymorphism involving melanin pigmentation, I found no support for either sexual or apostatic selection being responsible for the evolution of plumage polymorphism. Weak support for a role for disruptive selection was indicated
