Affective Triggers in Defoe's Moll Flanders
… as well as analyzes how affects and affect triggers function in her relationships and interactions with men and society. This thesis concludes that Moll's experiences with men produce affective triggers that result in negative affects, which function as a threat to Moll's sense of self and …

Mechanochemical Triggers for Self -Healing Polymers
Mechanochemical triggers based on the electrocyclic ring opening of both trans and cis substituted benzocyclobutenes was studied. The products of mechanically-accelerated ring opening were studied by trapping experiments. Ultrasound induces ring opening at 10°C, whereas thermal activation only …

Triggers of autoimmunity. Studies on gestational events.
Objective The primary aim of this thesis was to test whether gestational exposure to environmental factors may induce islet autoimmunity. The second aim was to determine to what extent the exposure to viruses or other environmental factors is a risk factor for type 1 diabetes in the offspring. As …

Inflammation triggers Zeb1-dependent escape from tumor dormancy
Metastasis-related mortality for breast cancer patients often occurs many years after treatment of the primary tumor. Inflammation, through the orchestra of immune cells and released inflammatory cytokines, can predispose certain tissues to cancer development and can create a favorable environment …

Can adults learn absolute pitch? Evaluating the “Melody Triggers” method
… training to associate pitch labels with "Melody Triggers" (Aruffo, 2007b). It also investigates two further hypotheses: (a) that identifying pitches within a musical listening task poses a different—and greater—challenge than identifying isolated pitches; and (b) that this dimension of AP can be …

Aldehyde-driven transcriptional stress triggers an anorexic DNA damage response
The genome is subjected to many forms of attack that can compromise its stability. Such forms of attack can emerge from endogenous or exogenous sources and must be counteracted by specialised repair pathways. Indeed, the absence of these pathways results in catastrophic human diseases. The …
