Cahn–Hilliard-type Equations: Robust Discretization and Efficient Implementation
(2009-05-11)In this work, a robust and efficient numerical method to simulate Cahn–Hilliard-type equations is presented. The considered equations are of fourth order and contain two nonlinearities: one is the concentration-dependent ... -
Calculating Corrections in F-Theory from Refined BPS Invariants and Backreacted Geometries
(2015-03-31)This thesis presents various corrections to F-theory compactifications which rely on the computation of refined Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) invariants and the analysis of backreacted geometries.
Detailed ... -
Calculating Sparse and Dense Correspondences for Near-Isometric Shapes
(2018-05-29)Comparing and analysing digital models are basic techniques of geometric shape processing. These techniques have a variety of applications, such as extracting the domain knowledge contained in the growing number of digital ... -
Can resilience be built through micro-finance tools?: A case study of coping and adaptation strategies to climate-related shocks in Piura, Peru
(2009-07-07)This study focuses on the livelihoods of rural households in the region of Piura in northern Peru, who are either farmers or livestock holders. The livelihood systems of these farmers are exposed to and vulnerable to ... -
Can the halo model describe 2nd- and 3rd-order correlation functions of gravitational lensing consistently?
(2019-11-07)To understand and model the distribution of and the relation between baryonic and dark matter in the Universe is one of the key challenges in contemporary astrophysics. A well-established theoretical description is given ... -
The cannabinoid receptor 2: from mouse to human
(2015-05-13)The endocannabinoid system (ECS) regulates numerous cellular and physiological processes. Nowadays, the system comprises two G protein-coupled receptors named CB1 and CB2 receptor, and the endogenous ligands anandamide ... -
Capturing Hand-Object Interaction and Reconstruction of Manipulated Objects
(2017-04-26)Hand motion capture with an RGB-D sensor gained recently a lot of research attention, however, even most recent approaches focus on the case of a single isolated hand. We focus instead on hands that interact with other ... -
Carbon nanotube composites: mechanical, electrical, and optical properties
(2007)In the frame of this thesis novel concepts for the functionalization of nanotubes and fabrication of optimized, homogeneous MWNT/polymer heterostructures are presented. The effects of various dispersion states and morphologies ... -
Carbon Nanotube Substrates for Tissue Engineering Applications: Analysis of surface nanotopography, cellular adhesion, and elasticity
(2009-01-16)The present study investigates the applicability of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in creating novel nanostructured matrices exhibiting biomimetic designed features. The thus produced CNT-based constructs were employed to ... -
The Carbon Sulfide Anions (C4S4)2− and β-(C3S5)2−: A Crystallographic Study on the Metal Salts and the Hydrolysis and Oxidation Properties
(2009-02-20)Tetrathiosquarate (C4S4)2− forms water soluble compounds of salt like character with the earth alkaline ions from Mg2+ to Ba2+. While Ca2+ and Sr2+ ... -
Carbon-carbon double-bond shift in the biosynthesis of the antibiotic corallopyronin A: CorJ DH*: a shift domain
(2015-03-13)Corallopyronin A is a myxobacterial compound, which was isolated in our lab from the strain Corallococcus coralloides B035. It is a potent in vivo active antibiotic, which is currently undergoing preclinical studies. ... -
Cardiac Gαi2 Protein Function and Regulation of High-Voltage-Gated L-type Calcium Channels
(2012-05-23)It has been proposed that the highly homologous and pertussis toxin (PTX)-sensitive cardiac Gαi isoforms, Gαi2 and Gαi3, are functionally distinct. Moreover, they are upregulated in heart ... -
Cardiac L-type calcium channels and expression of RGK proteins in mouse models associated with type 2 diabetes
(2017-10-19)Introduction: Cardiovascular disease, such as diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) and resulting heart failure (HF), is a leading cause of death for diabetic patients.
In ventricles of non-diabetic HF ... -
Cardinals as Ultrapowers: A Canonical Measure Analysis under the Axiom of Determinacy
(2009-11-11)This thesis is in the field of Descriptive Set Theory and examines some consequences of the Axiom of Determinacy concerning partition properties that define large cardinals. The Axiom of Determinacy (AD) is a game-theoretic ... -
Categorification of tensor powers of the vector representation of Uq(gl(1|1))
(2014-06-17)We consider the monoidal subcategory of finite-dimensional representations of Uq(gl(1|1)) generated by the vector representation, and we provide a graphical calculus for the intertwining operators, which enables ... -
Categorified Uq(sl2)-theory using Bar-Natan’s approach
(2014-06-18)For V the Uq(sl2)-module which is the quantum version of the natural representation, we categorify the n-fold tensor product of V as a module over the Temperley-Lieb algebra. To do this, we use ... -
Cavitands, Helicates and Macrocycles: Unleashing the Power of Weak Non-Covalent Interactions
(2009-11-12)In the course of the development of supramolecular chemistry, weak non-covalent interactions have gained tremendous importance. In this work, comprehensive massspectrometric investigations combined with theoretical ... -
CD8+ T cell priming and provision of CD4+ T cell help are spatially and temporally distinct events
(2018-07-03)The generation of a protective memory CD8+ T cell response requires priming of naïve T cells by dendritic cells and consecutive proliferation and differentiation of CD8+ T cells. In this differentiation ... -
Cell-cell adhesion mediated by mobile receptor-ligand pairs: a biomimetic study
(2009-05-07)This thesis aims at a quantitative understanding of the physical processes in cell-cell adhesion caused by mobile cell adhesion molecules. To unequivocally separate physical processes from active biological cell response, ... -
