16. Modulators of UCP1-dependent thermogenesis : Glucocorticoids, diet and novel research models
Abstract : The activation and recruitment of brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis has been put forward as a promising strategy to reduce the disease burden of obesity and obesity-related diseases. Heat production by BAT can be attributed to the tissue-specific mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). READ MORE

17. Computational and experimental approaches to regulatory genetic variation
Abstract : Genetic variation is a strong risk factor for many human diseases, including diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, depression, autoimmunity and asthma. Most of the disease genes identified so far alter the amino acid sequences of encoded proteins. READ MORE

18. Effect of tension softening on the performance of concrete structures : experimental, analytical and computational studies
Abstract : The tensile characteristics of concrete are usually neglected in the design of structures. The treatise discusses the important bearing these very characteristics have on the performance of different concrete structures. The investigations are supported by experiments, theoretical models and simulations by finite element methods. READ MORE

19. Influence of oilseed supplementation on ruminant meat and milk with emphasis on fatty acids
Abstract : In the human diet, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA, ≥ C20) are supplied almost exclusively from animal sources. Red meat represents a significant source of LC-PUFA in many areas of the world. However, the health aspects of consuming ruminant tissues are often viewed critically due to the proportions of saturated fatty acids (SFA). READ MORE

20. Novel Technologies for Recombinant Protein Overexpression in Escherichia coli
Abstract : The use of recombinant protein is a cornerstone in many structural and functional studies. The enteric bacterium Escherichia Coli is the most commonly used organism for producing recombinant proteins. E. READ MORE
