Genetic variation in fast-evolving East African cichlid fishes: an evolutionary perspective
Cichlid fishes from the East African Rift lakes Victoria, Tanganyika and Malawi represent a preeminent example of replicated and rapid evolutionary radiation. In this single natural system, numerous morphological (eg. jaw and tooth shape, color patterns, visual sensitivity), behavioral (eg. …

Expression and Function of the Chloroplast-encoded Gene matK
… matK gene has been identified as a rapidly evolving gene at nucleotide and corresponding amino acid levels. The high number of nucleotide substitutions and length mutations in matK has provided a strong phylogenetic signal for resolving plant phylogenies at various taxonomic levels. However, …

Modeling the dynamics of software competition to find appropriate openness and pricing strategy
… industry. Our analysis suggests that in a fast evolving market where customers spend less time researching and shopping for a software product (Antivirus market VS Operating Systems market), companies should maintain lower level of openness and higher proprietary type development to …

Identification of Novel Genes Involved in Female Mating Choice
In nature, we often observe females selectively choosing males. Although the evolutionary significance of female decisions and its inheritable nature was first remarked by Charles Darwin, we still have a poor understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that govern this behavior. To begin …

Non-stationary time-dependent ARMA random vibration modeling, analysis & SHM with wind turbine applications
… with precision the dynamic characteristics of fast-evolving non-stationary processes, and the lack of damage diagnosis methods that can deal also with significant uncertainties in the dynamics. Therefore, this PhD dissertation deals with three issues regarding to the application of TARMA models …

The Small Histories project: the internet, life stories and ‘performances of reconstruction’
… Conceptually, this project explores the fast-evolving social internet as a setting for auto/biographical narrative practice and how this overlaps with and changes accepted notions of performance, community formation, identity construction and acts of memory. As a framework for these …

Economics in transition in Eastern Europe and the function of the Bruxelles consensus
In today's fast evolving Central and Eastern Europe, economic perspectives, especially European Union perspectives are indispensable to the success of the transformation process initiated in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Based on our research output, this thesis offers many such perspectives that …

Suppression and triggering of Arabidopsis immunity by Albugo species
… conserved in other oomycete species, and SSP6, a fast-evolving effector specific to A. laibachii. CHXC1 encodes a nuclear localized HECT E3 ligase homolog, which suppresses host defenses dependent on cys651. We find 7 variants of SSP6 that are under diversifying selection. Two highly expressed …
