The cell cycle is a sequence of biochemical events that are controlled by complex but robust molecular machinery. Importantly, it is only by considering the entire cell cycle that we are able to make a series of novel predictions which emerge from the coupling between the molecular components of different cell cycle phases. Furthermore our models reveal the mechanisms that emerge as a result of the interaction between the cell cycle and stress response networks. cerevisiae.

Electrical Properties of Graphite Nanoparticles in Silicone In this way, the material mimics the excitatory response of pressure-sensing neurons in the human skin.  Most remarkably the composite material produces spontaneous oscillations that increase in frequency when pressure is applied to it. This study was conducted as a function of temperature, graphite filling fraction, scaling to reveal the break-up of the samples into electric field domains at the onset of the NDR region, and an electric-field induced metal-insulator transition in graphite nanoparticles.

These are more facile synthetic route than those previously reported. Based on these methodologies, enantioselective total syntheses of bioactive natural products, pachastrissamine (26% overall yield in seven steps), lysergic acid (4.

  This work has shown that recoiling black holes can disrupt stars far outside a galactic nucleus, errors in the traditional literature have strongly overestimated the maximum luminosity of “deeply plunging” tidal disruptions, the precession of transient accretion disks can encode the spins of supermassive black holes, and much more.

These studies show that quantitative yields of ammonia are given at ambient conditions. In her interdisciplinary and collaborative research Carola also describes the reactivity studies of a unique iron (V) nitride complex with water. Iron complexes in high oxidation states can thus serve as models for iron-containing enzymes to help us understand biological systems or aid our development of more efficient industrial catalysts.

Before any kind of new physics discovery could be made at the LHC, a precise understanding and measurement of the Standard Model of particle physics' processes was necessary. The book provides an introduction to top quark production in the context of the Standard Model and presents two such precise measurements of the production of top quark pairs in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV that were observed with the ATLAS Experiment at the LHC.

This thesis presents the first measurements of jets in relativistic heavy ion collisions as reported by the ATLAS Collaboration. Jet Quenching in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions at the LHC.Also, a series of jet suppression measurements are presented, which provide quantitative constraints on theoretical models of jet quenching. These include the first direct observation of jet quenching through the observation of a centrality-dependent dijet asymmetry.

. However, when processing GNSS data, the stochastic model characterising the precision of observations and the correlations between them is usually simplified and incomplete, leading to overly optimistic accuracy estimates. Furthermore, this work includes an up-to-date overview of the GNSS error effects and a comprehensive description of various mathematical methods.

This thesis covers central problems of enhancement cavities, such as finding limitations in scaling the circulating power, measuring cavity parameters with high accuracy, tailoring transverse modes and coupling out radiation generated in the cavity.
