Liability for Defective Software in South Africa
… and while I will be examining the liability for defective software, the reader would do well to bear in mind that software is often inextricably bound to the hardware that it serves.

Leveraging Defects Life-Cycle for Labeling Defective Classes
… <p>methods for labeling a class in a version as defective or not. The most used methods</p> <p>for automated class labeling belong to the SZZ family and fail in various circum-</p> <p>stances. Thus, recent studies suggest the use of aect version (AV) as provided by</p> <p>developers and available …

Mechanisms of defective insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes
Defective insulin secretion from the pancreatic B-cells is a central feature in type 2 diabetes (T2D). There is a strong hereditary component in type T2D, but the underlying pathophysiology remains largely unknown. This thesis uses a combination of gene network analysis and cell-physiological …

Isolation and characterization of motility-defective mutants of Haloferax volcanii.
… I have isolated twenty-five independent motility-defective mutants and four independent super-motile mutants of Hf. volcanii WFD11. Some of these mutants were characterized by light and electron microscopy. The motility-defective mutants form three characteristic kinds of swarms on swarm medium: …

Vibration signatures of defective bearings and defect size estimation methods
… insight into both the stiffness behaviour of a defective bearing assembly, with ball and cylindrical rolling elements, and the characteristics of the vibration signature in defective bearings in order to identify the vibration features associated with the entry and exit events of bearing defect. …

Optical and electronic properties of defective semiconductors from first principles calculations
… state energies and optical excitation spectra of defective bulk gallium nitride (GaN) and monolayer germanium selenide (GeSe). GaN is a technologically important wide bandgap semiconductor used as a power electronics and blue light emitting material, and naturally contains performance-degrading …

Secondary Level Screening of Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii Mutants Defective in Circadian Gene Expression
… of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutants which are defective in circadian gene expression. In a previous study, the reporter gene ARS2 encoding the arylsulfatase enzyme was fused to the promoter of the circadian-regulated CABII-1 gene and transformed into the Chlamydomonas nucleus. The ble marker …

Genetic Analysis of Crossover Defective Mouse Spermatocytes Reveals Discrete Crossover Precursor Intermediates
… defects. Most germline aneuploidy results from defective meiotic DNA repair product called a crossover. When DNA double-strand breaks are repaired as crossovers via homologous recombination, homologs exchange chromosome arms allowing sister chromatid cohesion to physically connect homologs and …

"Defective childhoods": television news and the social construction of the 'child in need'
… certain childhoods as less than ideal, or 'defective,' which therefore marks them as deviant from what is considered a universal proper childhood.

Investigation of the role of innate immunity in neurodegeneration driven by defective phagocytosis
In nervous system development, as well as in disease and injury, neurons die through programmed cell death, leaving behind cell corpses which must be removed. The clearance of these corpses is accomplished through phagocytosis, or cell eating. Phagocytosis consists of the recognition, …

INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF DEFECTIVE CELL TO CELL COMMUNICATION MECHANISMS IN RETT SYNDROME PATHOGENESIS
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder representing the main cause of severe intellectual disability in girls worldwide. Over 95% of individuals suffering from a classic form of RTT carry sporadic mutations in the X-linked MECP2 gene, encoding for the methyl-GpC-binding …

An Experimental Study of the Effect of Stimulation in the Prognosis of Defective Articulation
… (1) to investigate the degree of improvement in defective speech among first grade children by comparing responses the children made on two articulation tests at the beginning of the school year with responses made on the same tests six months later and (2) to determine whether or not stimulation …

Control of arbuscular mycorrhizal colonisation : studies of a mycorrhiza-defective tomato mutant / Lingling Gao.
This thesis characterises a mycorrhiza-defective tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) mutant, rmc, with respect to fungal colonisation patterns and plant defence reactions during interactions with different species of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, root fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani and …

THE USE OF REPLICATION-DEFECTIVE ADENOVIRAL VECTORS FOR EXPRESSION OF PRIMORDIAL ATHEROGENIC LIPOPROTEINS IN MICE
The plasma concentration of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins is positively associated with several diseases, including atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes and obesity. Hence, apoB may be a prime target for therapeutic intervention, particularly during its assembly. The molecular events …

Defective branched chain amino acid catabolism impairs exercise capacity and glucose homeostasis in the mouse
… elevated BCAA levels in a mouse model of defective BCAA catabolism (knockout [KO]) on exercise capacity and performance. We studied the impact of BCAAs on three factors of exercise metabolism; the role of BCAAs in regulating glucose and fatty acid utilization in skeletal muscle, the role …

Monogenic hypercholesterolemia in South Africans : familial hypercholesterolemia in Indians and familial defective apolipoprotein B-100
LDL-receptor mutations and familial defective apolipoprotein B-100 (codon 3500) (FOB), the known causes of monogenic hypercholesterolemia (MH), have similar clinical features. The nature of the mutations responsible for MH in South Africans of Indian origin was previously unknown. Similarly, the …
