1. Differentiation of Brain and Reproductive Organs in Birds : Effects of Environmental Contaminants
Abstract : The first objective of this thesis was to investigate effects of endocrine disruptors on the developing brain and gonads of bird embryos. The substances studied were the insecticide methoxychlor, and nine UV-filters (3-benzylidene camphor (3BC), 4 methyl benzylidene camphor (4MBC), benzophenone (BP) 1,2 and 3, 4 hydroxy benzophenone (4 HB), 4 dihydroxy benzophenone (4DHB), benzyl salicylate (BS), and ethyl-4-aminobenzoate Et-PABA)), commonly used in cosmetic products.

2. Developmental Neurotoxicity of Environmental Pollutants : Effects on neuronal protein markers after neonatal exposure
Abstract : This thesis focused on investigations of the developmental neurotoxic effects of bisphenol A (BPA) or perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS), after a single neonatal exposure, during a critical period of the brain development in mice.BPA is a well-known industrial chemical used in the production of polymer products and PFHxS is used as an industrial additive as a surfactant.

3. Biochemical characterisation of landfill leachate toxicity in fish
Abstract : Deposition remains the most common form of waste disposal in many parts of the world. As a terminus of the products consumed in our society a landfill may contain virtually all sorts of man-made chemicals. Despite this, the harmfulness of landfill leachate has not been extensively evaluated in feral organisms in the environment. READ MORE

4. Amyloid beta aggregation kinetics : The role of intrinsic and extrinsic factors
Abstract : Cerebral senile plaque is one of the main pathologies of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The amyloid cascade hypothesis suggests that the aggregation of amyloid beta (Abeta) peptide is involved in the pathogenesis of AD, which is supported by the fact that Abeta overexpression or production of more aggregation-prone variants lead to early-onset dementia.

5. User Modeling for Adaptive Virtual Reality Experiences : Personalization from Behavioral and Physiological Time Series
Abstract : Research in human-computer interaction (HCI) has focused on designing technological systems that serve a beneficial purpose, offer intuitive interfaces, and adapt to a person's expectations, goals, and abilities. Nearly all digital services available in our daily lives have personalization capabilities, mainly due to the ubiquity of mobile devices and the progress that has been made in machine learning (ML) algorithms.
