1. Constraining the Dark Matter Parameter Space
Abstract : The nature of dark matter (DM) is one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics. Itmakes up 25% of the total energy-matter content in the Universe, and is essential forexplaining the large-scale structures we observe in the Universe. Little is known aboutthe nature of dark matter, and the number of possible theories is vast. READ MORE

2. Vascular endothelial growth factor in renal cell carcinoma
Abstract : Background. Angiogenesis is essential for tumour growth. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its isoforms were investigated in relation to the clinical course in a large number of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods. READ MORE

3. Processing of the APP family by the α-secretases ADAM10 and TACE
Abstract : Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which is characterized by formation of amyloid plaques in the brain. The major constituent of these plaques is the hydrophobic peptide Aβ. Aβ accumulation is considered to be the main cause of the pathology seen in AD brains. READ MORE

4. α-Secretase processing of the Alzheimer amyloid-β precursor protein and its homolog APLP2
Abstract : The amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) has been widely studied due to its role in Alzheimer´s disease (AD). When APP is sequentially cleaved by β- and γ-secretase, amyloid-β (Aβ) is formed. Aβ is prone to aggregate and is toxic to neurons. READ MORE

5. On improving efficiency of flight using optimization
Abstract : In this thesis, optimization is used to improve the performance of aircraft. The focus is on operating current generation aircraft more efficiently rather than designing new aircraft. Drag minimization and aircraft trajectory optimization is used to increase efficiency. READ MORE
