Abstract:

This thesis examines clinical characteristics, molecular genetic aspects and electrophysiological features of two muscle channelopathies - myotonia congenita (MC) and Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS). MC is a muscle stiffness disorder caused by mutations in the skeletal muscle chloride channel gene CLCN1. A detailed genotype-phenotype analysis was undertaken in an initial MC cohort (22 families). A screening strategy for genetic testing was developed and applied to a larger cohort (303 cases). Twenty-three novel mutations and a high proportion of dominant MC predominantly due to four novel mutati

Abstract:

The primary objective of this dissertation is to provide a syntactic analysis of morphology in Estate Tamil, a dialect of Tamil spoken in tea estates, particularly in the Haputale area, in Sri Lanka. Tamil is significant for the theory of morphology not only because it is rich in a number of inflectional and derivational suffixes, but also because it exemplifies the co-occurrence of these two types of suffixes in the same lexical element, e.g. in participial and gerundive nouns. Further, these nouns have verbal morphology inside the nominal suffixes. Thus, the data from Tamil challenge the hyp

Abstract:

We have used Cassini measurements of electron density from Saturn's magnetosphere to search for a plasma tail behind the moon Titan. Such a plasma tail would consist of plasma that manage to escape Titan's gravitational pull and leave Titan's ionosphere to contribute to the plasma distribution in the Saturn system. The Cassini spacecraft was in orbit around Saturn for 13 years and performed 127 close flybys of Titan as well as many passes through Titan's orbit within the planets plasma-filled magnetosphere. We have used measurements of electron density from the Langmuir probe instrument, built

Abstract:

This study investigated language shift in the Tamil community, a minority group in Singapore, and the maintenance of their mother tongue, Tamil as well as notions of identity amongst young Tamils. Contrary to previous studies, this study takes a stance that there is a possibility for Tamil to be a living language in Singapore, and in light of the positive attitudes and growing support observed amongst young English-educated Tamils, the declining use in Tamil may be gradually averted.

Universal bounds shows that they are uniform with respect to some class of distributions and quantity of variables and other parameters. The bounds are called tight, if we can construct a sequence of random variables, such that the upper bounds are achieved. Such inequalities are useful for example in insurance mathematics, for constructing effective algorithms. We extend the results for Lipschitz functions on general probability metric spac

India is a country with progressing technical and economical development, but the development is not evenly distributed. Farmers in the Indian rural areas are struggling.

The aims of this study were to analyze effects on agriculture due to watershed management in a village and to describe the crop patterns in a village and compare the yield with a village without watershed management.

Abstract:

Tail biting in pigs has been identified as a behavioural problem for decades. It has serious consequences for animal welfare and for the income of the farmers The inability to prevent occurrence of this adverse behavior under commercial farm conditions has resulted in the majority of pig producers considering necessary to dock the tails of all piglets as a preventative measure. This management choice, represents both an animal welfare and an ethical issue, as highlighted in the EU Directive 2008/120 on pig welfare which constrains routine tail docking and emphasizes the need to find alternati

No prior approaches have been able to answer questions that might lead to a standard and uniform analysis of negative polarity items across languages. We explain NPI-licensing by means of a semantico-pragmatic outlook. We consider non-truthfunctional aspects of meaning which imply that certain pragmatic conditions are necessary for a sentence to be fully understood in the context of discourse.

These are general conditional independence models for $d$ observed variables, in terms of $p$ latent variables and the classical multivariate normal model with a correlation matrix having a factor structure is a special case. We also propose and investigate dependence properties of the extended models that we call structured factor copula models. The extended models are suitable for modeling large data sets when variables can be split into non-overlapping groups such that there i

Abstract:

Tail-anchored (TA) proteins constitute a class of membrane proteins whose diverse members carry out basic functions in cell physiology, including regulation of exocytosis and of apoptosis. TA proteins share a particular topology, consisting in a cytosolically located N-terminal domain anchored to the bilayer by a C-terminal hydrophobic stretch. Because of this particular topology, these proteins are targeted to their destination by unique post-translational pathways. An important identified pathway is centred on the ATPase TRC40/Get3, however, at least under cell-free conditions, some TA prote

The DHC includes a C-terminal motor domain, which converts ATP hydrolysis into mechanical force, an N-terminal tail domain, and a flexible linker domain to join the two together. An intermediate chain (DIC) and light intermediate chain (DLIC) bind directly to the DHC tail, while light chains (DLCs) bind to

The goal of this master’s thesis is to understand the performance implications of hedge fund’s tail risk, and the mechanisms of how some funds achieve lower tail risk.

This is not obvious since the goal of skillful hedge fund managers is to deliver positive risk-adjusted returns, and indeed a few studies do report higher returns to lower risk. The issue is further complicated by the evidence of asset-level low-risk anomalies, which could create a low-s

However, some earlier research has suggested that FOFs work like disaster insurance writers (Stulz, 2007; Agarwal and Naik, 2004).
