description: The purpose of the study is to examine reasons of depopulation of the region and the contribution of migration to the decreasing population. To achieve this goal the author applies the case study and focuses on the district of Siemiatycze and migration to Brussels, Belgium. The description of the migrant profile is augmented by the application of the Webb technique that classifies the counties in the Podlaskie Voivodship and Siemiatycze district according to the rates of birth and outmigration and their implications for the population change. Several conclusions are drawn regarding the migration conditions in Podlaskie Voivodship, including the confirmation of the status of local economy as the primary motive behind migration and the specific labor market structure in Western European EU member countries.

description: Because of the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, supply chain management performance seems to be struggling. The purpose of this paper is to examine a variety of critical factors related to the application of contingency theory to determine its feasibility in preventing future supply chain bottlenecks. The study reviewed current online news reports, previous research on contingency theory, as well as strategic and structural contingency theories. This paper also systematically reviewed several global supply chain management and strategic decision-making studies in an effort to promote a new strategy. The findings indicated that the need for mass production of products within the United States, as well as within trading partners, is necessary to prevent additional Covid-19 related supply chain gaps. The paper noted that in many instances, the United States has become dependent on foreign products, where the prevention of future supply chain gaps requires the United States restore its manufacturing prowess.

description: The Strahler number of a rooted tree is the largest height of a perfect binary tree that is its minor. The Strahler number of a parity game is proposed to be defined as the smallest Strahler number of the tree of any of its attractor decompositions. It is proved that parity games can be solved in quasi-linear space and in time that is polynomial in the number of vertices~$n$ and linear in $({d}/{2k})^k$, where $d$ is the number of priorities and $k$ is the Strahler number. This complexity is quasi-polynomial because the Strahler number is at most logarithmic in the number of vertices. The proof is based on a new construction of small Strahler-universal trees. It is shown that the Strahler number of a parity game is a robust parameter: it coincides with its alternative version based on trees of progress measures and with the register number defined by Lehtinen~(2018). It follows that parity games can be solved in quasi-linear space and in time that is polynomial in the number of vertices and linear in $({d}/{2k})^k$, where $k$ is the register number. This significantly improves the running times and space achieved for parity games of bounded register number by Lehtinen (2018) and by Parys (2020). The running time of the algorithm based on small Strahler-universal trees yields a novel trade-off $k \cdot \lg(d/k) = O(\log n)$ between the two natural parameters that measure the structural complexity of a parity game, which allows solving parity games in polynomial time. This includes as special cases the asymptotic settings of those parameters covered by the results of Calude, Jain Khoussainov, Li, and Stephan (2017), of Jurdziński and Lazić (2017), and of Lehtinen (2018), and it significantly extends the range of such settings, for example to $d = 2^{O\left(\sqrt{\lg n}\right)}$ and $k = O\!\left(\sqrt{\lg n}\right)$.

description: The first zine in this project was a series of hundred-word reflections (Lauren & Berlandt, 2019) [“four hundreds for me”] I wrote sitting under my desk at 7am in the middle of winter, underneath my a/r/tographic playmat. Somewhat compulsively, I wrote zine after zine as a sense-making exercise (Greene, 1987; Haynes, 2001), initially to examine my inability to participate in my own research. The turn occurs when I see these zines as a/r/tographic openings (Irwin, 2013) for and as research.These zines unfolded to story reasons why I could not participate in my own research, including being tired [“four hundreds for me”], being overwhelmed [“how to do dishes”], discomfort around being a working mother [“Re/searching, art/making, m/othering”] and the feeling of drowning [“What Are You Doing in Gloomy Hollow?”]. I explored my inability to participate in a living inquiry that felt haunted by postpartum psychosis and the unravelling of significant childhood trauma [“eeexxxccceessss” and “[sur]renderings: contiguity and living inquiry”]. I folded a longtime friend into the process [“how to make a zine when your life is falling apart”] and started to see the boundaries between my personal zine-making and the zines made as da/r/ta by participants shift; they started to overlap. I started to see their grief for their schools mirrored in my own grief for my research [“an ode to our goals for education (or something”] and my drowning in motherhood as contiguous with their drowning in schools [“neither of these wolves can do it”].This paper zine is comprised of 8 clay tiles that tell an abridged version of the zine EEEXXXCCCEEESSSSSS, focusing on my fears around living inquiry.

Six dimensional ultraviolet completion of the $CP(N)$ $σ$ model at two loops

Year: 2020

description: We extend the recent one loop analysis of the ultraviolet completion of the $CP(N)$ nonlinear $σ$ model in six dimensions to two loop order in the MSbar scheme for an arbitrary covariant gauge. In particular we compute the anomalous dimensions of the fields and $β$-functions of the four coupling constants. We note that like Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) in four dimensions the matter field anomalous dimension only depends on the gauge parameter at one loop. As a non-trivial check we verify that the critical exponents derived from these renormalization group functions at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point are consistent with the $ε$ expansion of the respective large $N$ exponents of the underlying universal theory. Using the Ward-Takahashi identity we deduce the three loop MSbar renormalization group functions for the six dimensional ultraviolet completeness of scalar QED.

description: An almost brief, though lengthy, review introduction about the long history of higher order gravities and their applications, as employed in the literature, is provided. We review the analogous procedure between higher order gravities and GR, as described in our previous works, in order to highlight its important achievements. Amongst which are presentation of an easy classification of higher order Lagrangians and its employment as a \emph{criteria} in order to distinguish correct metric theories of gravity. For example, it does not permit the inclusion of only one of the second order Lagrangians in \emph{isolation}. But, it does allow the inclusion of the cosmological term. We also discuss on the compatibility of our procedure and the Mach idea. We derive a dimensional dependent version of Duff's trace anomaly relation, which in \emph{four}-dimension is the same as the usual Duff relation. The Lanczos Lagrangian satisfies this new constraint in \emph{any} dimension. The square of the Weyl tensor identically satisfies it independent of dimension, however, this Lagrangian satisfies the previous relation only in three and four dimensions.

description: We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging and near-infrared spectroscopy from Keck/MOSFIRE to study the sub-structure around the progenitor of a Milky Way-mass galaxy in the Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF). Specifically, we study an $r_e = 40^{+70}_{-30}$pc, $M_{\star} \sim 10^{8.2} M_{\odot}$ rest-frame ultra-violet luminous "clump" at a projected distance of $\sim$100~pc from a $M_{\star} \sim 10^{9.8}$M$_{\odot}$ galaxy at $z = 2.36$ with a magnification $μ= 5.21$. We measure the star formation history of the clump and galaxy by jointly modeling the broadband spectral energy distribution from HST photometry and H$α$ from MOSFIRE spectroscopy. Given our inferred properties (e.g., mass, metallicity, dust) of the clump and galaxy, we explore scenarios in which the clump formed \emph{in-situ} (e.g., a star forming complex) or \emph{ex-situ} (e.g., a dwarf galaxy being accreted). If it formed \emph{in-situ}, we conclude that the clump is likely a single entity as opposed to a aggregation of smaller star clusters, making it one of the most dense star clusters cataloged. If it formed \emph{ex-situ}, then we are witnessing an accretion event with a 1:40 stellar mass ratio. However, our data alone are not informative enough to distinguish between \emph{in-situ} and \emph{ex-situ} scenarios to a high level of significance. We posit that the addition of high-fidelity metallicity information, such as [OIII]4363Å, which can be detected at modest S/N with only a few hours of JWST/NIRSpec time, may be a powerful discriminant. We suggest that studying larger samples of moderately lensed sub-structures across cosmic time can provide unique insight into the hierarchical formation of galaxies like the Milky Way.

title: Music worth fighting for : the role of American popular music in the United States and the United Kingdom during World War II
Creators: name: Beeny, Martyn
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This thesis examines the relationship between (primarily) American popular music, as defined within the thesis, and World War II society in the United Kingdom and the United States. The hypothesis is that such music was affected by wartime society in both positive and negative ways, increasing its occurrence in day-to-day lives, but stifling its natural progression. Equally, such music influenced the conduct of the war by shaping the use of music within the military and how music was perceived and used by the two nations' populations during wartime. While the main focus of the research is American popular music, it was necessary to include a discussion of parts of the popular music industry in the United Kingdom due to the large numbers of American troops stationed on British soil and the prevalence of American music in British civilian daily life. The thesis examines the music itself, developing a description of what constituted popular music, as well as providing examples of that music affecting, and being affected by, the war. An examination of the popular music industry in the United States provides details as to how that successful sector of industry reacted to the war, and how it attempted to find its role within the conduct of the war. The increasingly important role of popular music within the American armed forces is addressed pointing to the inclusion, for the first time, of popular music as an elemental part of the soldier's well-being. The British side of the interaction is addressed through a discussion of the pertinent parts of the music industry, the forces' use of music in the United Kingdom, and the provision of mass entertainment for troops, war workers and civilians for the first time during war. Research for this thesis was drawn from archives, libraries, newspapers and firstperson accounts from the United Kingdom and the United States.

description: Aim: This study aimed to assess patients’ preferences for HIV treatment in an urban Colombian population. Methods: A Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) was conducted. Urban Colombian HIV patients were asked to repetitively choose between two hypothetical treatments that differ in regard to five attributes ‘effect on life expectancy’, ‘effect on physical activity’, ‘risk of moderate side effects, ‘accessibility to clinic’ and ‘economic cost to access controls’. Twelve choice sets were made using an efficient design. A Mixed Logit Panel Model was used for the analysis and subgroup analyses were performed according to age, gender, education level and sexual preference. Results: A total of 224 HIV patients were included. All attributes were significant, indicating that there were differences between at least two levels of each attribute. Patients preferred to be able to perform all physical activity without difficulty, to have large positive effects on life expectancy, to travel less than 2 h, to have lower risk of side-effects and to have subsidized travel costs. The attributes ‘effect on physical activity’ and ‘effects on life expectancy’ were deemed the most important. Sub-analyses showed that higher educated patients placed more importance on the large positive effects of HIV treatment, and a more negative preference for subsidized travel cost (5% level). Limitations: A potential limitation is selection bias as it is difficult to make a systematic urban/rural division of respondents. Additional, questionnaires were partly administered in the waiting rooms, which potentially led to some noise in the data. Conclusions: Findings suggests that short-term efficacy (i.e. effect on physical activity) and long-term efficacy (i.e. effect on life expectancy) are the most important treatment characteristics for HIV urban patients in Colombia. Preference data could provide relevant information for clinical and policy decision-making to optimize HIV care.
title: ZFP423 Coordinates Notch Pathway, Bmp Signaling and EBF/COE Transcription Factors to Regulate Hes5 Gene Expression
Creators: name: Masserdotti, Giacomo
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: Zinc finger protein 423 encodes a 30 Zn-finger transcription factor involved in cerebellar and olfactory development. ZFP423 is a known interactor of SMAD1-SMAD4 and of Collier/Olf-1/EBF proteins, and acts as a modifier of retinoic acid-induced differentiation. In this thesis, we show that ZFP423 interacts functionally and molecularly with the Notch 1 intracellular domain (NICD) in mammalian cell lines and in Xenopus laevis neurula embryos, to activate the expression of the Notchl target Hes5/ESRl. This effect is antagonized by EBF transcription factors, both in cultured cells and in Xenopus laevis embryos, and amplified in vitro by BMP4, the morphogen triggering the activation of SMAD1-SDMAD4 complex.

Taken together, the data presented in this thesis suggest that ZFP423 acts to integrate BMP- and Notch signaling, selectively promoting their convergence onto the Hes5 gene promoter.

The calculations were performed within the hyperspherical harmonics formalism. The sensitivity of the results to the $^{6}$He ground state structure and to final state interactions, are analyzed. The large-basis calculations show the reliably converged results for soft dipole strength function and for momentum correlations of the $^{6}\mbox{He} \rightarrow \, ^{4}$He+$n$+$n$ dissociation products. Transition mechanisms are analyzed based on the momentum correlations. The comparison with experimental data is provided.

description: Many-body localization (MBL) provides a mechanism to avoid thermalization in many-body quantum systems. Here, we show that an {\it emergent} symmetry can protect a state from MBL. Specifically, we propose a $\Z_2$ symmetric model with nonlocal interactions, which has an analytically known, SU(2) invariant, critical ground state. At large disorder strength all states at finite energy density are in a glassy MBL phase, while the lowest energy states are not. These do, however, localize when a perturbation destroys the emergent SU(2) symmetry. The model also provides an example of MBL in the presence of nonlocal, disordered interactions that are more structured than a power law. The presented ideas raise the possibility of an `inverted quantum scar', in which a state that does not exhibit area law entanglement is embedded in an MBL spectrum, which does.

title: Zoogeographic and Richness Patterns in Southern Ocean Benthos
Creators: name: Griffiths, Huw James
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: This thesis describes the large scale biogeographic patterns found in the Southern Ocean benthos. Using SOMBASE and SCAR-MarBIN, the two most comprehensive, georeferenced databases of Antarctic marine biodiversity ever compiled, a range of taxa were investigated but focusing on the Mollusca, Bryozoa and Pycnogonida. Over 8,000 species of marine invertebrates from over 5,000 sites constituting -34,000 records were used in the analyses. The strong faunal links between the Antarctic and South America were confirmed but I found little evidence for a biogeographical relationship between the Antarctic or South America and New Zealand or Tasmania. Regional levels of Southern Ocean endemism proved the influence of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current upon the distribution of Southern Ocean benthos. My study shows the Southern Ocean as a ‘single functional unit’ with no evidence for an earlier proposed biogeographical split between East and West Antarctica. Some general rules on Antarctic benthic biogeography are viable, including species endemism rates of around 50% and a definite distinction between the sub-Antarctic islands influenced by either South America or by New Zealand. In the context of potential shifts in species distribution with climate change I investigated the current ranges of selected Southern Ocean taxa (Mollusca, Amphipoda, Ophiuroidea and Hexacorala), and looked for hotspots of coinciding northern and southern geographic range limits. Southern Patagonia, South Georgia and Kerguelen had the greatest range-limit hotspots. Monitoring range shifts in these key places and taxa will enable us to track the influence and effects of climate change on benthic species distributions in the Southern Ocean.

Below T* a pronounced suppression of the incoherent spectral weight below E*_g in the nodal directions of k-space is observed. This is concomitant with the emergence of long-lived excitations in the vicinity of the (π/2, π/2) points that do not contribute to the optical conductivity.

title: Characterisation of a Composite Exonic Regulatory Element of Splicing (CERES) in CFTR Exon 12: Functional Properties and Evolutionary Constraints
Creators: name: Haque, Ariful
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2010

description: Genotype screening in human disease frequently results in the identification of exon/intron sequence variations whose direct connection with occurrence of disease is often unclear, especially if they occur within exons but do not alter the amino acid coding sequence. However, it is now clear that many of these seemingly harmless changes very often can exert flaws in the splicing process by affecting splicing regulatory elements (SREs). Usually, SREs are classified based on their mode of action with regards to exon inclusion, either positive (enhancer) or negative (silencer). In addition to these clear cut definitions, using systematic site directed mutagenesis experiments in previous analyses from our lab we have identified a novel type of splicing controlling element that we called CERES (for Composite Exonic Regulatory Element of Splicing). The distinguishing feature of CERES elements resides in the fact that they represent an extreme physical overlap of enhancer and silencer sequence. As a result, the functional effect at the level of exon inclusion/skipping of a single nucleotide change in a CERES element is hard to predict.

In this study I have addressed both issues in the context of the functional CERES2 element in CFTR exon 12. The result show that CERES2 can bind to a number of SR (SF2/ASF and SRp55) and hnRNP (A1, A2, C2, U, DAZAP1) factors in a small stretch of RNA in close proximity to each other. In particular, one of the disease causing mutations, G48C and a synonymous substitution next to it (A49G) showed reduced binding with SF2/ASF, whereas another natural mutation, A51T showed that the SF2/ASF interaction was increased compared to the wild type exon 12 sequences. Functional assays confirmed the potential regulatory role of the SF2/ASF and hnRNP Al interactions.

Two synonymous mouse substitutions (T40C and C52T) near the CERES2 region were observed to cause skipping in human exon 12 but had no effect if the exon was truncated in a reduced context. Restoration of the truncated sequences restored skipping of the exon. However, if these flanking sequences were replaced with mouse sequences then no skipping occurred. This observation suggested that the human exon 12 sequences have ESS regions in both flanks of the exon whereas in the mouse sequence the flanking exon sequences contain ESE elements. Affinity purification of these flanking sequence showed that both of the mouse flanking sequences bind to SR proteins (SF/ASF, SRp 75, SRp 55 and SRp 40) but not in human. The consequences of this situation were then checked at the evolutionary level by comparing the distribution of SREs in different species. Altogether, our results suggest that in several species other than human the entire sequence of CFTR exon 12 is involved in its definition.

description: Changes in the volatile fraction of strawberry purees prepared from five single cultivars (i.e. 6082, Honeoye, Lola, Rendezvous and Senga Sengana) during pasteurisation (95 °C, 1 min) and subsequent accelerated storage (35 °C, 14 days) were studied using an untargeted HS-SPME-GC MS fingerprinting approach. The application of multivariate data analysis on the untargeted data showed three distinctive clusters in the fresh purees. Rendezvous, Lola and 6082 appeared to be similar in the volatile fraction whereas Senga Sengana and Honeoye were not grouped together confirming their distinctive aroma profile with more than 20 and 8 markers, respectively. Thermal processing generally decreased the amount of aldehydes (hexanal), higher alcohols and increased acetate esters content. Subsequent accelerated storage resulted in the degradation of esters, aldehydes (hexanal), some terpenes (trans-nerolidol) and the formation of sulphur compounds (dimethyl sulphide), hydrocarbons, benzene derivatives and α-terpineol. Furthermore, the PLS-DA models showed that despite the initial differences on the volatile fraction among the cultivars, these differences remain similar throughout the processing chain and subsequent storage. The present study highlights the importance of adequate raw material selection for processing purposes as the cultivar strongly influences the aroma profile of the final product.

description: We study the effects of the environment on galaxy quenching in the outskirts of clusters at $0.04 < z < 0.08$. We use a subsample of 14 WINGS and OmegaWINGS clusters that are linked to other groups/clusters by filaments and study separately galaxies located in two regions in the outskirts of these clusters according to whether they are located towards the filaments' directions or not. We also use samples of galaxies in clusters and field as comparison. Filamentary structures linking galaxy groups/clusters were identified over the Six Degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey Data Release 3. We find a fraction of passive galaxies in the outskirts of clusters intermediate between that of the clusters and the field's. We find evidence of a more effective quenching in the direction of the filaments. We also analyse the abundance of post-starburst galaxies in the outskirts of clusters focusing our study on two extreme sets of galaxies according to their phase-space position: backsplash and true infallers. We find that up to $\sim70\%$ of post-starburst galaxies in the direction of filaments are likely backsplash, while this number drops to $\sim40\%$ in the isotropic infall region. The presence of this small fraction of galaxies in filaments that are falling into clusters for the first time and have been recently quenched, supports a scenario in which a significant number of filament galaxies have been quenched long time ago.

title: The Role of E1 SUMO Activating Enzyme in the Development of Drosophila melanogaster
Creators: name: Kanakousaki, Kiriaki
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2011

description: SUMOylation is an Ubiquitin-like post-translational modification thought to affect a diverse array of cellular processes, from chromosome segregation to nuclear translocation. The E1 SUMO-activating enzyme is required for the earliest steps of SUMO conjugation, and is composed of heterodimeric Aosl and Uba2 subunits. The genes encoding both of these proteins are essential for viability in yeast, but less is known about their biological role in other organisms. Here we report a transposable element mutation in the aos1 gene of Drosophila that causes complete elimination of imaginal discs (appendage primordia) in homozygous larvae, while the rest of larval tissues appear to be unaffected. We were able to rescue this growth phenotype with a genomic construct containing only the aos1 gene, confirming that the growth defect results solely from loss of aos1. Mosaic analysis reveals that aos1 mutant disc cells die through apoptosis, but when apoptosis is blocked the mutant cells exhibit cell cycle progression defects. Using FACS analysis to measure cell cycle phasing, we found that aos1 mutant cells accumulate in G2/M, indicating a blockage in progression to mitosis. Additionally, uba2 homozygous mutant animals also lack imaginal discs without exhibiting defects in larval tissues, indicating that SUMO E1 enzyme activity is require-red more in some cells than in others. Consistent with this, we show that aos1 and uba2 are primarily required for cell proliferation, since RNAi-mediated aos1 and uba2 knockdown in dividing cells of the eye discs resulted in reduction of eye size, while expression of aos1 or uba2 RNAi in post-mitotic cells of the eye disc had no effect. Together, these results reveal a key role for the E1 SUMO activating enzyme in cell proliferation, but they suggest that SUMO E1 activity is less required for cellular survival, differentiation, or homeostasis of non-dividing cells.

description: Tanulmányunk célja, hogy bepillantást adjunk az Y generáció nemzetközi kiküldetésekkel kapcsolatos motivációiról és elvárásairól. A témakörben rendelkezésre álló szakirodalom bemutatását követően a kérdőíves felmérésünk eredményeit mutatjuk be. Nemzetközi kiküldetésnek nevezzük, amikor egy vállalat hazai munkavállalóját egy másik országban működő csoportcégéhez küldi ki rövidebb-hosszabb időtartamra munkavégzés céljából, a kiküldött másképpen expatrióta. A nemzetközi kiküldetésekkel kapcsolatban eltérő elvárásokat támasztanak mind a munkáltatók, mind a munkavállalók. A helyzetet csak fokozza a munkaerőpiacon megjelenő fiatal Y generáció. Menedzselésük egyre több HR-innovációs kérdést vet fel. Kutatásunk eredményei azt mutatják, hogy a fiatal generáció tagjai nyitottak a külföldi munkavállalás felé, de a korábbi generációkhoz képest az Y generáció tagjai minél hamarabb szeretnének lehetőséget kapni külföldi munkavégzésre. A vállalatoknak tehát indokolt felkészülnie az Y generáció által generált új kihívásokra, és célszerű áttekinteniük a nemzetközi kiküldetésekre vonatkozó szabályzataikat és irányelveiket. ---------- This study aims to give an insight into the motivations and expectations of Generation Y regarding international assignments. After review of relevant literature we are presenting some results of our research. In today’s globalized world international assignments are particularly frequent. The word expat is generally used to refer to people who temporarily or permanently are sent to work in to a different country than the one they were born in or whose nationality they have. Employers and employees have different expectations about that, and generation Y requires new approaches and new HR innovations. In this paper we would like to give an opportunity to understand what motivates the young workers. The results of our research show that member of the millenial generation are open to working abroad compared to previous generations. Generation Y would like to get a chance to gain experience abroad in earlier age. In our opinion companies should be prepared for the new challenges generated by Gen Y and should review their guidelines for international assignments.

description: We define an isotopy invariant of embeddings N -> R^m of manifolds into Euclidean space. This invariant together with the α-invariant of Haefliger-Wu is complete in the dimension range where the α-invariant could be incomplete. We also define parametric connected sum of certain embeddings (analogous to surgery). This allows to obtain new completeness results for the α-invariant and the following estimation of isotopy classes of embeddings. For the piecewise-linear category, a (3n-2m+2)-connected n-manifold N and (4n+4)/3 < m < (3n+3)/2 each preimage of α-invariant injects into a quotient of H_{3n-2m+3}(N), where the coefficients are Z for m-n odd and Z_2 for m-n even.

title: The Fat Gene Cooperates With the Hippo Pathway to Prevent Neuronal Degeneration
Creators: name: Occhi, Simona
Publisher: name: The Open University

description: Fat is a cadherin that regulates planar polarity and acts as a tumor suppressor both in vertebrates and invertebrates. Drosophila fat recessive mutations have been shown to induce an excessive cell proliferation and a hyperplastic tissue overgrowth during larval development.

Fat has recently been described to be part of a signaling cascade, the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway, which regulates organ size and cell proliferation to prevent tumorigenesis.

A further known interactor of Fat is the transcriptional co-factor Atrophin. This connection is highly relevant to neuronal homeostasis, because expansion of polyglutamine tracts in human Atrophins lead to a neurodegenerative disorder, the Dentatorubral-pallidoluysian Atrophy (DRPLA). Microarrays analysis in Drosophila models for DRPLA disorder has shown that fat transcription is downregulated by wt and polyQ mutant Atrophins.

We thus tested the hypothesis that Drosophila Fat is involved in neuronal homeostasis and cell survival. The phenotypic analysis of the Drosophila nervous system in fat mutant fly eyes showed that fat, when mutated, leads to a progressive neurodegenerative phenotype. Interestingly the Hippo Pathway is involved in retinal degeneration and it is partially required for the fat induced phenotype. My morphologic and genetic studies suggest a deregulation of the autophagic signaling in mutants of both Fat and the Hippo pathway as the cell mechanism leading to cell degeneration. In conclusion my data indicate that Fat cooperates with the Hippo Pathway to maintain cellular homeostasis and protect neuronal cells from degeneration.

description: We present algorithms for classification of linear codes over finite fields, based on canonical augmentation and on lattice point enumeration. We apply these algorithms to obtain classification results over fields with 2, 3 and 4 elements. We validate a correct implementation of the algorithms with known classification results from the literature, which we partially extend to larger ranges of parameters.
