Comparative analysis of the insect mobile genetic element repertoire and its influence on genome size dynamics
(2020-06-10)
This thesis presents comparative genomics studies in insects as well as bioinformatics software development. Its empirical research part is focused mainly on mobile genetic elements, also termed transposable elements. The ......
Domain Adaptation for Image Recognition and Viewpoint Estimation
(2020-09-08)
Image-based recognition tasks require in their training phase large amounts of data to capture as much visual traits as possible. In many situations, however, the collection of image data implies a tedious effort or, even ...
In Silico Facets of Biochemical Research: Accounts from Protein Folding and Protein-Ligand Interaction Studies
(2020-09-04)
Exponential advancements in computer technology over the last five decades have ubiquitously benefited science and humanity as a whole. Consequent beneficiaries of this surge of computational power include all subfields ......
Domain-Based Local Pair Natural Orbital Second-Order Møller-Plesset Perturbation Theory, and the Development of its Analytical Gradient
(2020-08-18)
Dynamic electron correlation methods are known to have a computational cost that scales with a high power of the system size: for example, O(N5) for second-order Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2), and ......
Modelling redshift-space distortion effects on spatial clustering and velocity statistics
(2020-10-08)
The nature of gravity as we know is that it pulls. Issac Newton's Principia generalised this gravity as a universal attractive force which weakens with distance. However in the late 1990s it was found that our Universe is ......
Youth aspirations, perceptions of farming, and migration decisions in rural Sub-Saharan Africa: Further empirical evidence from Ethiopia
(2020-05)
The study discusses the aspirations and preferences of youth in rural sub-Saharan Africa using a large-scale SMS-based survey data and complements it with an investigation on the causal effects of adolescent aspirations ...
Die Arg219Leu-Variante des humanen 5-HT1A-Rezeptors: Kein Nachweis bei Tourette-Patienten
(2020-05-05)
Nach einleitender Beschreibung des komplexen Serotoninsystems und der Beschreibung allgemein klinischer Aspekte des Tourette-Syndroms wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob in DNA-Proben von Tourette-Syndrom-Patienten eine ...
Measurement of the double polarization observables G and E in neutral and positive pion photoproduction off the proton
(2020-08-14)
The nucleons, as one of the most fundamental building blocks of visible matter, are built up of quarks and gluons. However, the interactions and dynamics inside the nucleons, which are mediated by the strong force and ......
Der MrgD-Rezeptor und seine Rolle in der Leberfibrose und deren Komplikationen im transgenen Tiermodell
(2020-05-05)
Bei der Leberzirrhose handelt es sich um das Endstadium einer jeden chronischen Lebererkrankung. Das Renin-Angiotensin-System ist maßgeblich an der Entstehung der Leberzirrhose und der portalen Hypertension beteiligt. ...
Control of ion and neurotransmitter homeostasis by hippocampal astroglial networks
(2020-12-16)
The present study addressed the contribution of astrocytic gap junction channels to extracellular K+ clearance. Astrocyte form large networks through gap junction coupling that enables intercellular communication ...
