Exploiting System Diversity in Peer-to-Peer Publish -Subscribe Systems
Fourthly, the systems described in this thesis have been comprehensively evaluated via both PlanetLab deployment and simulation. Our deployments used up to 400 PlanetLab servers world-wide. Our largest simulations model 10, 000 nodes. Our experimental methodology is constructed using an extensive …

Exploiting System Diversity in Peer-to-Peer Publish-Subscribe Systems
This thesis presents new techniques that exploit system diversity within a particular class of peer-to-peer publish-subscribe systems. We show that by directly addressing interest and network diversity as a first class design principle, the scale and performance of such systems can be improved. …

A tripartite survey of CRISPR-Cas diversity: Assessing the contours and limits of natural variation in CRISPR-Cas systems by associated genes and spacer acquisition biases
Explorations of anti-phage defence systems, with a focus on CRISPR-Cas system diversity, in the past decade has enabled many significant advances in biotechnology especially in programmable gene editing platforms. Many previous investigations have employed guilt by association based data mining …

Design, Fabrication, and Measurement of a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) Antenna for Mobile Communication
… verified that the MIMO antenna achieved good system diversity. Overall, this work resulted in a multiband uniplanar MIMO antenna system suitable for hand-held mobile communication devices. Utilizing cost effective materials and simple geometries allowed fabrication using common methods. The …

High-resolution studies of exoplanetesimal belt formation and evolution
… bodies that formed within the protoplanetary system: planets, and belts of planetesimals (km-sized rocky and icy bodies). Planetesimals within belts readily collide and produce detectable levels of dust and gas, known as debris discs, around 20% of main sequence stars. Despite the ubiquity of …

Understanding gender determination in dioecious Amaranthus weeds palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) and waterhemp (Amaranthus tuberculatus)
… Various factors, such as reduced farming system diversity, extensive use of herbicide-resistant crops, and the recent lack of herbicide discovery by industry, have all contributed towards undermining the foundations of weed management. As of today, 217 weed species have been reported to …

Conservation and population genetics of African and Asian rhinoceros
… development of genetic markers for assessment of diversity at neutral and adaptive loci can be used to address a number of questions that will aid in the conservation of rhinoceros populations both ex situ and in the wild. In order to evaluate genetic diversity in rhinoceros populations, I …

Does variability matter? Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) variation and its associations to parasitism in natural small mammal populations
… host. Further, I addressed the issue of low MHC diversity in populations or species, which could potentially arise as a result from habitat fragmentation and isolation. Despite their key role in the mammalian evolution the marsupial MHC has been rarely investigated. Studies on primarily captive …
