Background: Until recently, human genetics has primarily been used for research or targeted clinical testing. With the decreased cost and ease of access to genetic testing, there has been an expansion of the application of genetics to health and chronic disease states. The scala…
In this Thesis, a Fuzzy proportional-integral-derivative (FPID) controller is presented to control the dynamics of a 3-DOF robot. A Differential Evolution (DE) optimization method was used to optimize the performance of the FPID controller. The results are compared and validated…
With age, muscle mass decreases and muscle function and strength decline, which is associated with loss of independence, hospitalization, morbidity and mortality. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the mechanisms involved in the age-related loss of muscle mass, physical f…
A peritonite infeciosa felina (PIF) é uma doença patogénica e fatal, causada pelo coronavírus felino (FCoV), capaz de induzir uma reação inflamatória sistémica.
The Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, and the New World screwworm (NWS), Cochliomyia hominivorax, are devastating insect pests that cause billions of dollars in damage each year. These insects cause myiasis in warm blooded mammals, in which the larvae feed from flesh of…
In this thesis I studied cause and effect of Cyto Nuclear Incompatibility (CNI) induced speciation in plants. By combining comparative genomics, phylogenetics and bioinformatics with large scale crossing experiments I was able to infer part of the genetic machinery underlying CN…
Cassava mosaic disease (CMD) is one of the most devastating diseases of cassava, a major root crop in Africa. Crop losses due to CMD threatens the production of sufficient food for Africa’s quickly growing population. CMD is caused by a complex of cassava begomoviruses (CMBs), w…
Seabirds are in considerable decline globally. Given that only 19% of seabirdpopulations are actively researched and monitored, conservation and recovery efforts can beimpeded by research gaps, especially for species with subtropical and tropical distributions.In this dissertati…

A number of scholars have found that concepts such as mutation, selection, and random drift, which emerged from the theory of biological evolution, may also explain evolutionary phenomena in other disciplines as well. Drawing on these concepts, Professors Cavalli-Sforza and Feld…

Professor Levins, one of the leading explorers in the field of integrated population biology, considers the mutual interpenetration and joint evolution of organism and environment, occurring on several levels at once. Physiological and behavioral adaptations to short-term fluctu…
This new edition builds on the success of the first by reviewing increased understanding of the mechanisms of geen action in humans, focussing particularly on those derived from the study of genetic diseases.
