Today, although our food is more processed than ever the effects of food processing on dietary lipids and their absorption and postprandial metabolism are not fully understood. The lipid composition of food impacts ...

Humans, often suggested as the weakest link in information security, require security education, training and awareness (SETA) programs to strengthen themselves against information security threats. These SETA programs ...

Many present challenges in semiconductor technology are related to utilizing solid structures with atomic scale dimensions and materials with higher charge carrier mobility and/or other readily controllable properties. ...

In cooperatively breeding species, the amount of help provided and the outcomes of that help can vary greatly under different contexts, such as helper age, sex of the offspring, or age of the offspring. Contextual variation ...

The recent discussions about mistreatment in elderly care and psychiatric care have increased the importance of expanding our knowledge about these spaces in order to ensure that these institutions provide a good quality ...

Given a finite set of square tiles, the domino problem is the question of whether is it possible to tile the plane using these tiles. This problem is known to be undecidable in the planar case, and is strongly linked to ...

This Thesis focuses on networks of interacting quantum harmonic oscillators and in particular, on them as environments for an open quantum system, their probing via the open system, their transport properties, and their ...

Mycotoxin contamination in food is a serious concern for human and animal health. Today, we do not know how to detoxify food materials that are contaminated with mycotoxins in ways that retain their edibility. Therefore, ...

This thesis introduces a new, algebraic method to study multidimensional configurations, also sometimes called words, which have low pattern complexity. This is the setting of several open problems, most notably Nivat’s ...

Movement ability and habitat selection of individuals are highly significant in determining the size of a population and impact the range and survival of the entire species. Thus, the conservation and management of animal ...
