Aluminum Stress on Suberin Biosynthesis in Barley (Hordeum vulgare) Roots
(2023-08-29)
Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major factor inhibiting plant growth in acidic soils worldwide, and the root barrier formed by suberized cells is an important mechanism for plants to resist environmental stress. The aim of ...
New Insights into Terpene Synthase Catalysis for Rational Enzyme Engineering
(2023-11-07)
This doctoral dissertation consists of 4 reviews and 16 research articles that present mechanistic studies on terpene biosynthesis. Specifically, sesquiterpenes biosynthetically derived from germacrene A, hedycaryol and ...
Practical Models for Sequential Decision Making in Natural Language Processing and Reinforcement Learning
(2023-11-17)
This thesis focuses on sequential decision and prediction (SDP) tasks, comprising structured prediction (SP) and reinforcement learning (RL) tasks. These tasks are characterized by generation of sequential outputs that ......
The Synaptic Basis of Binocular Alignment and its Development in Ferret Primary Visual Cortex
(2023-12-01)
The brain integrates information from a myriad of external stimuli to generate a rich but consistent representation of the world and instruct behavior. For coherent binocular vision, signals from both eyes need to be ...
Development and optimization of analytical methods for identifying and quantifying organic compounds in biological and paleontological specimens
(2023-12-01)
Preservation of soft tissues is a rare phenomenon which leads to the formation of fossils that survive for millions of years and are then subject to investigations by paleontologists. Several classes of chemical compounds ......
Geometry of spaces with a synthetic lower curvature bound
(2023-10-30)
In recent years, several major breakthroughs in the field of geometry have been closely linked to the investigation of two pivotal topics: curvature and singularities. The objective of this thesis is to explore the geometric ...
Cryo-EM structures of the human NLRP3 inflammasome
(2023-11-20)
NLRP3 is an intracellular sensor protein whose activation by a broad spectrum of exogenous and endogenous stimuli leads to inflammasome formation and pyroptosis. The mechanisms leading to NLRP3 activation and the way how ...
Informed Machine Learning: Integrating Prior Knowledge into Data-Driven Learning Systems
(2023-11-14)
Machine Learning is an important method in Artificial Intelligence (AI). It has shown great success in building models for tasks like prediction or image recognition by learning from patterns in large amounts of data. ...
Explainable Resource-Aware Representation Learning via Semantic Similarity
(2023-12-12)
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) systems in recent years is largely due to the impressive capabilities of artificial neural networks. Their powerful capabilities in natural language understanding and ...
Approaching Partial Differential Equations with Physics-Driven Deep Learning
(2023-12-14)
Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) play an important role in describing continuous physical systems such as fluids, air-flows, waves and many more. Thus, by solving these equations, one can simulate smoke and water ...
