Chromosomal Evolution of Malaria Vectors
… provides physical maps for two important malaria vectors, An. stephensi and An. albimanus (Ch.2 and Ch. 3) and then applies those maps to the identification of inversion breakpoints in malaria mosquitoes. Repeat content of each chromosomal arm and the molecular characterization of lineage specific …

SUPERCUSPIDAL REPRESENTATIONS ARISING FROM STABLE VECTORS
… of order $m$. It has been shown that stable vectors $v\in\g_{a}$ arise only when $a$ is coprime to $m$. Given a stable vector $v\in\g_{a}$, we construct packets of supercuspidal representations $\{\pi_{v,\rho}\}$ as well as discrete Langlands parameters $\varphi_{v}$. Both the parameter and …

Exploring embedding vectors for emotion detection
… to detect emotions. While the word embedding vectors like Word2Vec have been successfully employed in many NLP approaches, the word mover’s distance (WMD) is a method introduced recently to calculate the distance between two documents based on the embedded words. This thesis is investigating …

Sketching and streaming high-dimensional vectors
A sketch of a dataset is a small-space data structure supporting some prespecified set of queries (and possibly updates) while consuming space substantially sublinear in the space required to actually store all the data. Furthermore, it is often desirable, or required by the application, that the …

Research towards novel immunotherapeutic vectors: calixarene scaffolds
The aim of this project was to generate a new type of therapeutic delivery system and immunogenic vector, based on calixarenes, that is able to not only deliver immunogenic peptide but also act as a potential cancer vaccine. The introduction presents calixarenes derivatives in the context of …

Cellular Trafficking of Single and Multistage Vectors
<p>Nanomedicine is an innovative field of science which has recently generated many drug delivery platforms with exciting results. The great potential of these strategies rely on the unique characteristics of the devices at the nano-scale in terms of long time circulation in the blood stream, …

The Behaviour and Ecology of Mosquito Vectors
Mosquitoes continue to vector pathogens to humans around the world. Research into the unique behaviour and ecology of vector species enables new avenues of control to be developed. I examined two mosquito vector species. The first, Coquillettidia perturbans (Walker, 1856), has been incriminated as …

Engineering of Nonviral Vectors for Gene Therapy
Finally, for polymeric devices to be made safe and efficient for in vivo usage there must be some means to target them to specific cells or tissues. Various cyclodextrins were conjugated to PEI using an amide linkage. The hydrophobic interior of the cyclodextrin allows the facile addition of small …

Limit Theorems for Weakly Dependent Random Vectors
… the empirical process of weakly dependent random vectors, recently obtained by Berkes and Philipp and Philipp and Pinzur. For strongly mixing sequences we relax the bounds on the mixing rates, and for absolutely regular sequences we improve the error term. We also extend these results to random …

Metal-organic frameworks as intracellular delivery vectors
… of MOFs as targeted intracellular delivery vectors. The ease with which their physicochemical properties can be tuned allows for the design of delivery systems able to bypass the critical drug delivery bottlenecks of endosomal entrapment and non-specific delivery.

Overwintering Mechanisms of La Crosse Virus Vectors
… is imperative we evaluate how the virus and its vectors overwinter. We conducted experiments to evaluate and determine the diapause induction, or prediapause stage, in Aedes japonicus japonicus, and the ecophysiology and low temperature biology of how LACV affects Aedes triseriatus and Aedes …

Concept Vectors for Zero-Shot Video Generation
Zero-shot video generation involves generating videos of concepts (action classes) that are not seen in the training phase. Even though the research community has explored conditional video generation for long high-resolution videos, zero-shot video remains a fairly unexplored and challenging task. …

Aphids as vectors of peanut mottle virus
… infection has not been demonstrated. Known vectors of PMV such as Aphis craccivora (Koch) and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) comprised 31% of the aphid population in peanuts compared to 14% in soybeans and 17% in cowpeas and could be responsible for the higher number of peanut infections. In …

Chromosomal evolution in mosquitoes - vectors of diseases
The World Health Organization estimates that vector-borne diseases account for 17% of the global burden of all infectious diseases and has identified the mosquito as the most dangerous of all disease-transmitting insects, being responsible for several million deaths and hundreds of millions of …

LIVER FIBROSIS IMPAIRS HEPATOCYTE TRANSDUCTION BY AAV VECTORS
Adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) are the most promising tools for liver directed gene therapy. However, integrity of hepatic architecture has been considered pre-requisite for efficient gene delivery and clinical studies have been addressed toward patients with no or negligible hepatic damage …
