Modelling the human cochlea
One of the salient features of the human cochlea is the incredible dynamic range it possesses—the loudest bearable sound is 10,000,000 times greater than the softest detectable sound; this is in part due to an active process. More than twelve thousand hairlike cells known as outer hair cells are …

On the human park
… Regeln für den Menschenpark ('Regulations for the Human Park') which is available as appended, original translation. It seeks to elucidate Sloterdijk's work, assess the theses he posits therein, and sets forth an overview on crucial developments pertaining to human society, i.e., the human …

The Interaction of the Human Adenovirus E1A Protein with the Human DREF Transcription Factor
The human adenovirus (HAdV) E1A protein is the first protein produced post-HAdV infection, and serves two main functions. The first is to modulate host and viral transcription. The second is to induce host cell cycle progression to S phase, to promote an optimal environment for viral replication. …

Genesis of the human germline
The primary aim of this thesis was to examine the specification of human primordial germ cells (PGCs) and the mechanism regulating the transient gain and loss of competence for germ cell fate. Specification of PGCs in humans occurs during weeks 2 to 3 in gastrulating embryos, which eventually …

Defining the human endothelial transcriptome
Advances in microarray technology facilitate the study of biological systems at a genome-wide level. Meaningful analysis of these transcriptional profiling studies, however, demands the concomitant development of novel computational techniques that take into account the size and complexity of the …

Biomechanics of the human chorioamnion
The human fetal membrane, namely the chorioamnion, is the structural soft tissue retaining the amniotic fluid and the fetus during pregnancy. Its biomechanical integrity is crucial for maintaining a healthy gestation and a successful delivery. The premature rupture of the fetal membrane (PROM) can …

Radioactive lead studies in the human
The differing susceptibility of individuals to the toxic effects of chronic lead exposure has never been fully understood. As the major intake of lead in the human is from food and beverages, any variation between individuals of the quantity of lead absorbed from the gut, and of the distribution …

Hyperimage: Photography Beyond the Human Scale
… vision, where large-scale computation valorises the massification of photography to automate image-making and interpretation. These practices comprise an assemblage of computational infrastructure,cultural techniques, visual media, human operators, and machine agents spanning the globe across …

Wavefront sensing in the human eye
… an Test-Optiken werden dargestellt und mit den theoretischen Möglichkeiten verglichen. Die Ergebnisse von Messungen an menschlichen Augen führen zu Einschätzungen über die tatsächliche und die erforderliche notwendige Auflösung des Geräts. Die Reproduzierbarkeit der Ergebnisse wird geprüft. …

The biomechanics of the human tongue
The human tongue is composed mainly of skeletal-muscle tissue, and has a complex architecture. Its anatomy is characterised by interweaving, yet distinct muscle groups. It is a significant contributor to the phenomenon of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). OSA is a pathological condition defined as the …

Intramural mechanics in the human tongue
Contraction of the tongue musculature during physiological motions (anterior protrusion, sagittal bending, swallowing) is associated with characteristic patterns of tissue deformation. Coupling knowledge of this tissue deformation with the underlying myoarchitecture offers the ability to explore …

Predictive haemodynamics of the human carotid artery
This thesis employs parametrically defined geometry of the human carotid artery bifurcation to better understand the relationship between a range of parameters and the associated haemodynamics and to devise strategies to provide guidance for clinical interventions and to assist in the design of …

Structure of the Human VPS33B/VPS16B Complex
In humans, variants affecting expression/function of VPS33B or VPS16B (VIPAS39) can cause arthrogryposis, renal dysfunction and cholestasis (ARC) syndrome, a rare neonatal lethal condition with symptoms affecting many organ systems. These proteins form a VPS33B/VPS16B complex which is required for …

Metagenomic Analyses of the Human Gut Virome
<p>The human gut harbors tens of trillions of microbes belonging to all three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya; most are members of Bacteria. These organisms collaborate and compete for functional niches and physical space: habitats), together forming a continuously functioning …

Statistical Shape Analysis for the Human Back
… (EDMA) have been investigated for analysing the three-dimensional shape and form of the human back. Procrustes analysis is used to distinguish deformed backs from normal backs. EDMA is used to locate the changes occurring on the back surface due to spinal deformity (scoliosis, kyphosis and …
