1. A reliability study of electronic components and electret foils, including latent failures due to submission to electrostatic discharges in a historical retrospective
Abstract : This thesis deals with the reliability and life-time ofelectronic components and ways to determine these factors.Plastic encapsulated and open test circuits were assessed atdifferent humidity and temperature conditions. From the resultsan acceleration factor could be derived using the Arrheniusrelation. READ MORE

3. Role of latent EBV genes in the induction of genomic instability in Burkitt’s lymphoma
Abstract : Epidemiological and molecular evidence link Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection to a variety of lymphoid and epithelial malignancies but the contribution of the virus to tumorigenesis is unclear. Genomic instability, defined by the establishment of a mutator phenotype and characterized by the occurrence of non-clonal chromosomal aberrations, excessive DNA damage and defects in DNA repair, is the hallmark of malignant transformation.

5. Language Modelling and Error Handling in Spoken Dialogue Systems
Abstract : Language modelling for speech recognition is an area of research currently divided between two main approaches: stochastic and grammar-based approaches are each being differently preferred for their respective strengths and weaknesses. At the same time, dialogue systems researchers are becoming aware of the potential value of handling recognition failures better to improve the user experience. READ MORE
