Detecting Plant Functional Traits of Grassland Vegetation Using Spectral Reflectance Measurements
(2018-03-06)
Changes in climate and an intensified agricultural use threaten grassland ecosystems in many places. To allow an efficient conservation of grassland vegetation communities, ecologists monitor variations in their plant ...
Lower semicontinuity, optimization and regularity of variational problems under general PDE constraints
(2018-04-12)
We investigate variational properties of integral functionals defined on spaces of measures satisfying a general PDE constraint. The study of these properties is motivated by the following three problems: existence of ...
The redshift distribution and dust properties of dusty star-forming galaxies at high redshift
(2018-03-27)
Millimeter (mm) and submillimeter (submm) continuum observations brought about a radical shift with the discovery that luminous, dusty galaxies were a thousand times more abundant in the early Universe than they are at ...
Study of infection induced alteration in Drosophila larval feeding behavior
(2018-03-27)
Decision making ability is a key trait that can increase an organism’s chances of survival. The animal has to constantly analyze its environment and modulate ones behavior to navigate through daily routine. This study aims ...
Rock slope instability in alpine geomorphic systems, Switzerland
(2018-04-26)
Faced with the hazard potential and geomorphic importance of rock slopes adjusting to glacier retreat and current climate warming, the motivation of this dissertation is to increase our systemic and process understanding ...
Investigation of systemic inflammation in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) and its impact on post-aSAH complications
(2018-05-23)
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a dreadful disease with overwhelmingly high mortality and morbidity, although it accounts for only 5% of all strokes. Around half of the affectees are destined to death and it ...
The role of guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) in EGF-receptor signalling: Screening for a small molecule inhibitor of the Rin1-mediated Rab5 activation
(2018-06-04)
The small GTPase Rab5 is a key regulator of early endosomal trafficking. It functions as a molecular switch that can be activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) and inactivated via hydrolysis of GTP with the ...
Complement-mediated neuronal loss by sialic acid glycocalyx alterations
(2018-04-23)
Every neuronal cell is covered with a dense structure of glycoconjugates, the glycocalyx. Sialic acids form the terminal ends of the glycocalyx and thus, are more accessible for the cellular environment. Microglia, the ...
Hochauflösende Protonen-Transfer-Reaktions-Massenspektrometrie zur Bestimmung des photochemischen Abbaus von grünen Blattduftstoffen
(2018-04-27)
Die globalen Emissionen von biogenen flüchtigen organischen Verbindungen (1089 Tg/y, Guenther et al. [2012]) übersteigen die globalen Emissionen anthropogen Ursprungs (110 Tg/y, Piccot et al. [1992]) um beinahe ......
Searching for Pulsars in Unassociated Fermi-LAT sources
(2018-05-22)
Pulsars have always been under the γ-ray spotlight since the birth of γ-ray astronomy. They were the first sources that were firmly established as γ-ray sources in the 70s. Since then, pulsars have been the prime suspect ...
