Positive Symmetric Solutions Of A Boundary Value Problem With Dirichlet Boundary Conditions
… a compression-expansion fixed point theorem of function type to a second order boundary value problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We show the existence of positive symmetric solutions of this boundary value problem. </p>

Estimation of Primary Production and Carbon Flux in Antarctic Coastal Waters: A Modeling Study
… derivation of new coefficient sets for power function-type cloud cover correction algorithms, which were found to be influenced by multiple reflections between the bottom of clouds and the surface. The coefficient sets indicate that the spectral effect of clouds on the properties of the …

Leibniz-type rules associated to bilinear pseudodifferential operators
Leibniz-type rules associated to bilinear pseudodifferential operators have received considerable attention due to their applications in obtaining fractional Leibniz rules and the study of various partial differential equations. Generally speaking, fractional Leibniz rules provide a way of …

Biological Life and the Partiality Relation
… is tied to the continuation of biological functioning such as respiration and metabolism. Supporters of the former often argue against the latter and vice versa. I argue that both are true on the grounds that there is good reason to believe that psychological activities of the human animal …

How did Listeria monocytogenes become pathogenic?
… in the light of evolution, genomics, and function. First, we undertook to resolve the phylogeny of the genus Listeria with the goal of ascertaining insights into the evolution of pathogenic capability of its members. The phylogeny of Listeriae had not yet been clearly resolved due to a …

Uncertainty-Integrated Surrogate Modeling for Complex System Optimization
… of the error distributions are represented as functions of the density of intermediate training points through nonlinear regression, assuming a smooth decreasing trend of errors with increasing sample density. These regression functions are then used to predict the expected median and maximum …

Type 1 diabetes mellitus and the brain: influence of clinical complications and genetic factors on brain structure and cognitive function
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterised by absolute insulin deficiency, chronic hyperglycaemia and intermittent hypoglycaemia consequent upon treatment with insulin. Severe hypoglycaemia, defined as hypoglycaemia sufficient to necessitate third party intervention for recovery, commonly …

The impact of glucotoxicity on pancreatic β-cell function
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is connected with elevated plasma glucose levels which negatively influence β-cells and cause impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). The aim of present thesis was to investigate the impact of long-term hyperglycemia on the pancreatic islet β-cell function. …

Search for molecular and metabolic mechanisms contributing to impaired β-cell function
Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) prevalence is growing to pandemic proportions worldwide. The link between genotype, environment and β-cell function is still being investigated. I have devoted the work presented in this thesis to attempt to elucidate the coupling of β-cell metabolism to insulin secretion and …

Effects of Ca2+, microRNAs, and rosuvastatin on insulin-secreting beta cell function
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a condition of high blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance and defective insulin secretion. Impaired insulin secretion plays a major role in the pathophysiology of T2D, it is mainly attributed to beta cell function i.e. failure to secrete insulin or reduced beta …
