Replication and formalization of (Co)Church encoded shortcut fusion: Master's Thesis

When writing functional code that composes multiple recursive functions that operate on a datastrcuture, we often incur a lot of computational overhead allocating memory, only to later read, use, and discard this information.<br/>This can be alleviated using fusion, a technique that combines these multiple recursive datastructure traversals into...

A new polynomial for describing Phylogenetic Networks

Describing phylogenetic trees or networks with a polynomial is a tool to distinguish between them. In this thesis, a new polynomial for describing rooted binary internally labeled phylogenetic networks and trees is introduced based on the research of P. Liu and J. Pons et al. Two different cases are considered, one where the reticulation nodes...

The Open House / The Open Archive: Unfolding the domestic archive of Gojka Vukovića 11

The body is an unfolding archive, containing material layers, fossilized remnants of past memories, skin lesions of still visible trauma. The body is a daily carrying agent of intersections, between the outside-inside and inside-inside, in which there is a radicality in considering the ongoing daily or domestic for the institutional. The archive...

The transcriptomic fingerprint of glucoamylase over-expression in Aspergillus niger

Background: Filamentous fungi such as Aspergillus niger are well known for their exceptionally high capacity for secretion of proteins, organic acids, and secondary metabolites and they are therefore used in biotechnology as versatile microbial production platforms. However, system-wide insights into their metabolic and secretory capacities are...

Genome-wide expression analysis upon constitutive activation of the HacA bZIP transcription factor in Aspergillus niger reveals a coordinated cellular response to counteract ER stress

Background: HacA/Xbp1 is a conserved bZIP transcription factor in eukaryotic cells which regulates gene expression in response to various forms of secretion stress and as part of secretory cell differentiation. In the present study, we replaced the endogenous hacA gene of an Aspergillus niger strain with a gene encoding a constitutively active...

3D Modeling of a foreland fold and thrust basin in the French sub-Alpine chains

In this report, one can find a summary of the results and the methods used in a BSc-thesis, with as aim to unravel the structural geological situation of a 54 km2 area in the southern French sub-Alps around the village of Plaisians. This was done by using the Move© software-package, provided by Midland Valley. The work was performed in several...
