1. Earthquake Sources, the Stress Field and Seismic Hazard : A Study in Eritrea and its Surrounding
Abstract : Presented in this thesis are some basic concepts and applications of seismic hazard analysis and the elements that influence the amplitude and geometric attenuation of earthquake ground motion. This thesis centers on the identification of the styles of failure, focal mechanisms, and the state of regional stress in the study area. READ MORE

2. Experimenting with Focal Points and Monetary Policy
Abstract : This thesis consists of two parts. The first part uses economic experiments to investigate how participants choose to divide a surplus in the presence of competing focal points. The second part examines whether a monetary policy shock has asymmetric regional effects. READ MORE

3. Molecular Mechanisms of Action of Histidine-rich Glycoprotein in Angiogenesis Inhibition
Abstract : Angiogenesis, de novo synthesis of blood vessels from the pre-existing vasculature, is required both during embryonic development and in pathophysiological conditions. In particular, tumor growth needs new capillary vessels in order to both deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove toxin and metabolites. READ MORE

4. The role and mechanism of ubiquitin system in innate immune regulation
Abstract : Pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) include the cell surface or endosomal membrane localized Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and the cytoplasmic PRRs such as RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), NOD-like receptors (NLRs) and cytoplasmic DNA receptors (CDRs). Triggering of PRRs culminates in the transcriptional induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons (IFNs) that coordinate protection against pathogens but require tight control to avert inflammatory diseases.

5. Focal ischemic reperfusion stroke model in rats and the role of galanin
Abstract : Stroke is the third most common cause for mortality in industrialised countries and amongst the major causes of long- time morbidity. While the mortality due to myocardial infarction has been dramatically reduced during the last 10-15 years, mortality due to stroke remains almost the same, despite the fact that the two share similar basic pathogenic mechanisms including atherosclerosis, hypertension and diabetes.
