At the primary level the study discusses the meanings and directions of contemporary architecture in a modernising society such as

This thesis presents the results of the author's research activity to develop a time-space accurate flow-solver for Large Eddy Simulations (LES), based on the Multidimensional Residual Distribution approach. The aim of this work is the attempt to develop a compact high-order algorithm which includes multidimensional flow physics, in hope of creating a better algorithm for LES of turbulent compress

Cystatin C variants with Arg8, Leu9 and/or Val10 replaced by Gly residues were produced by site-directed mutagenesis and E. coli expression. Their interactions with the target proteases, cathepsin B, L, H and S, were studied in vitro in order to provide basic structure-function information of use in the design of specific inhibitors for therapeutic use. Val10 was shown to be the most contributing

The thesis provides an overview of the relationship between tax treaties and domestic law and issues that arise if a contracting state uses domestic anti-avoidance rules to prevent the improper use of a tax treaty. Improper use of a tax treaty is an issue addressed in the BEPS Action 6 report. The suggestion is to include a limitation-on-benefits clause in the OECD Model Convention, a principal pu
