Genetic modeling of the Hippo pathway in hematopoietic stem cells
Hematopoiesis is the process of blood formation from a limited pool of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). These rare stem cells can both self-renew to maintain the HSC pool, and differentiate to continuously replenish lost blood cells. The mechanisms of HSC regulation are not fully known. The aim of …

Insulin Resistance and Inflammation in Neurodegeneration: Lessons from in vitro Models
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a growing epidemic of the developed world and significantly increases the risk for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Current evidence suggests that these two diseases are closely linked. Both share common etiologies such as insulin resistance (IR) …

Development of a Fast Method to Analyze Patterns in Airport Noise
Traditional airport noise modeling is limited in its ability to analyze large quantities of flight tracks due to high computation time. As a result, yearly noise reports are often limited to modeling flights from a single “representative day,” which lacks detail arising from the natural dispersion …

Determinants Of Migration: Inter-european Migration, 1950-1989
It is commonly assumed that governmental regulations determine the flow of international migration streams. Time-series techniques are used to analyze the migration flows to Belgium from France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands in the post-war period 1950-1989 in order to estimate the impact that …
