The thesis aims at extending the capabilities of devices and enabling cooperation, i.e., data connection sharing, among users who may or may not necessarily be related to or know each other. To achieve this objective as well as to validate the results of our theoretical analysis, we developed a smart-phone application for data connection sharing. By means of data connection sharing, users may i...

Solution: The ring F [x] of polynomials with coefficients in a field F is a P.I.D. Each prime ideal is generated by a monic, irreducible polynomial. Assume there are only a finite number of prime ideals generated by the polynomials f1, . . . , fn and let f(x) = 1+f1(x) · · · fn(x). No fi divides f , hence f is also irreducible. This contradicts the assumption that all the prime ideals were gene...

Accumulating evidence argues that aging exerts a profound influence on epigenetics, and vice versa. A pair of studies by Merkwirth et al. and Tian et al. now provide insights on how mitochondrial stress experienced by C. elegans larvae propagates a specific and persistent epigenetic response that protects adult cells and extends lifespan.

Full points can be obtained for correct answers to 8 questions. Each numbered question (which may have several parts) is worth 20 points. All answers will be graded, but the score for the examination will be the sum of the scores of your best 8 solutions. Algebra A1. (a) State the Class Equation.
