The role of brassinosteroids and salicylic acid in plant defense response to Potato spindle tuber viroid infection
The role of brassinosteroids and salicylic acid in plant defense response to Potato spindle tuber viroid infection
Jasna Milanović
Viroids are plant–pathogenic molecules characterized by a single–stranded circular non–coding RNA genome. Despite their genomic simplicity, these plant pathogens are able to induce disease in a wide range of host plants with significant economic impact. The surveillance activities described in this study, revealed the presence of Potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTVd) in Croatia in two ornamental species, while no PSTVd infection was found in tomato or potato. This study was also...
The role of bridging fibers in the architecture of the metaphase  mitotic spindle
The role of bridging fibers in the architecture of the metaphase mitotic spindle
Bruno Polak
Mitosis is a fundamental process during which the genetic material is transferred to daughter cells and is orchestrated by the mitotic spindle. Between two opposite spindle poles microtubules form bundles that interact with chromosomes. Bundles that bind to kinetochores on the chromosome are called kinetochore fibers, whilst certain microtubules form antiparallel overlap bundles in the central part of the spindle. With this research localization and distribution of antiparallel overlap...
The role of bridging microtubules in anaphase of cell division
The role of bridging microtubules in anaphase of cell division
Renata Buđa
During cell division, microtubules of the mitotic spindle segregate chromosomes by exerting forces on kinetochores, protein complexes on the chromosomes. The central question is which forces drive chromosome segregation. The current model for anaphase in human cells includes shortening of kinetochore fibers and separation of spindle poles, processes that require kinetochore-pole connections. By combining laser ablation, photoactivation and protein depletion, we show that kinetochores...
The role of kinesin-8 and PRC1 proteins in kinetochorepositioning in the metaphase plate
The role of kinesin-8 and PRC1 proteins in kinetochorepositioning in the metaphase plate
Mihaela Jagrić
U metafazi mitoze kromosomi se poravnavaju u ekvatorijalnoj ravnini diobenog vretena što je od ključne važnosti za pravilan završetak kasnijih faza. Poravnavanje kromosoma regulirano je silama dinamike kinetohornih vlakana (k-vlakana) te silama odbijanja na polovima. U ovome radu istražena je uloga kinezina-8 u poravnavanju kromosoma, koji je jedan od glavnih regulatora dinamike k-vlakana. Pokazala sam kako kinezin-8 regulira brzinu i amplitudu kretanja kinetohora, dok eksperimenti...

The role of microtubule-associated proteins in the generation and regulation of spindle shape
Monika Trupinić
In the mitotic spindle, a complex micro-structure responsible for the segregation of chromosomes, individual microtubule bundles obtain different shapes depending on the mechanical forces acting on them. In addition to linear forces, rotational forces are present in the spindle, reflected in the left-handed twisted shapes of microtubule bundles that make the spindle chiral. However, it is not known how twist changes throughout mitosis in non-tumor cells, or what are the molecular...
The role of solid-state reactivity in the prebiotic selection of nucleobases and formation of peptides
The role of solid-state reactivity in the prebiotic selection of nucleobases and formation of peptides
Tomislav Stolar
Within this thesis, solid-state reaction medium and mechanochemical methodologies were explored to unveil weather nucleobases can self-assemble and amino acids can oligomerize under these conditions. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry analysis showed that 2,6-diaminopurine (D) selectively self-assembles with uracil (U) and thymine (T), while adenine (A) self-assembles with hypoxanthine (H). Crystal structures of D-U cocrystal hydrate, D-T cocrystal hydrate, D-T cocrystal...
Thermodynamics and geometry of black holes in the presence of nonlinear electromagnetic fields
Thermodynamics and geometry of black holes in the presence of nonlinear electromagnetic fields
Ana Bokulić
Nonlinear electrodynamics (NLE) is an umbrella term for nonlinear modifications of Maxwell’s theory. The first NLE theories appeared as quantum corrections to Maxwell’s electrodynamics or in order to cure point charge singularities. Our focus is on NLE fields in the context of gravitational theory, their impact on the laws of black hole thermodynamics and the general geometric properties of spacetimes. Using a perturbative approach, we show that the solution for the Schwarzschild black...
Theta liftovi ireducibilnih reprezentacija metaplektičke grupe
Theta liftovi ireducibilnih reprezentacija metaplektičke grupe
Petar Bakić
U ovoj disertaciji proučavaju se theta liftovi generičkih reprezentacija simplektičke, odnosno metaplektičke grupe definirane nad lokalnim nearhimedskim poljem F karakteristike 0. U radu odgovaramo na osnovna pitanja vezana uz theta korespondenciju: kada su promatrani liftovi različiti od nul-reprezentacije, te kako izgledaju ne-nul liftovi. Za potpuni odgovor na prvo pitanje koristimo Kudlinu filtraciju i rezultat G. Muića o ireducibilnosti standardnih modula generičkih...
Three-dimensional elastic body and a Naghdi type shell interaction modelling
Three-dimensional elastic body and a Naghdi type shell interaction modelling
Matko Ljulj
In this thesis we analyse an interaction problem between two elastic three-dimensional bodies of which one is much thinner than the other. Furthermore, the thin body is assumed to be more stiff with elastic coefficients related to the small thickness parameter. We consider this problem in context of both linear and nonlinear elasticity. We analyse asymptotic behaviour of solutions of these problems and obtain different limit models in various regimes as thickness tends to zero. Furthermore,...
Time-changed stochastic models: fractional Pearson diffusions and delayed continuous-time autoregressive processes
Time-changed stochastic models: fractional Pearson diffusions and delayed continuous-time autoregressive processes
Ivan Papić
In this thesis we study time-changed stochastic models via inverse of the standard stable subordinator. Moreover, we study two types of such models: fractional Pearson diffusions and delayed continuous-time autoregressive processes. In Chapter 2 we review the connection between fractional calculus and stochastic processes, i.e. connection between fractional differential equations and time-changed stochastic processes. Chapter 3 gives a review on modern theory of diffusion processes with...
Time-like graphical models
Time-like graphical models
Tvrtko Tadić
We study continuous processes indexed by a special family of graphs. Processes indexed by vertices of graphs are known as probabilistic graphical models. In 2011, Burdzy and Pal proposed a continuous version of graphical models indexed by graphs with an embedded time structure -- so called time-like graphs. We extend the notion of time-like graphs and find properties of processes indexed by them. In particular, we solve the conjecture of uniqueness of the distribution for the process indexed...
