Forage supply of West African rangelands: Towards a better understanding of ecosystem services by application of hyperspectral remote sensing
(2018-12-12)
Grazing is the predominant type of land use in savanna regions all over the world. Although large savanna areas in Africa are still grazed by wild herbivores, the West African Sudanian savanna region mainly comprises ...
Spatial Interaction of Agricultural Land Uses and their Impacts on Ecosystem Service Provision at the Landscape Scale
(2018-12-12)
The relationship between agricultural land use and it impact on ecosystem services, including nutrient cycling and biodiversity conservation, is extremely complex. This complexity has been augmented by isolated research ...
Ecological and Chemical Studies on the Gq-protein Inhibitor FR900359
(2018-09-28)
The cyclic depsipeptide FR900359 (FR), isolated from the tropical plant Ardisia crenata, displays a strong and selective inhibition of Gq proteins, making it an indispensable pharmacological tool to study Gq-related ...
Protein-Coding Gene Repertoires: Annotation, Characterization, and Variability in Holometabola
(2018-12-20)
Three previously unavailable prerequisites for gene repertoire analyses are established and used within this thesis: (1) a new tool (COGNATE, written in Perl) was developed and used that records all gene structure parameters ...

(2018-12-20)
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Darstellung von Tellur-Polykationen, TeX3+ -Kationen und Iodo-Tellur-Polykationen mit Halogenido- oder Oxohalogenidometallaten als Anionen sowie einer neuen Modifikation ...
Rapid semi-automated phenotypic assays for compound testing in patient-derived SPG4 neurons
(2018-12-05)
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is an inherited disease characterized by progressive spasticity in the lower limbs, caused by axonal degeneration of corticospinal motor neurons. Spastic paraplegia 4 (SPG4) is the most ...
Understanding the role of SATB1 in CD4+ T cells by analysis of conditionally targeted mice generated by genetic engineering
(2018-12-12)
Special-AT-rich-binding protein 1 (SATB1) is a nuclear protein providing higher order chromatin organization and regulation of gene expression, especially in T cells. In regulatory T cells, SATB1 is repressed to maintain ......
The role of the miR-17-92 cluster in macrophage driven innate immunity
(2018-12-11)
Research into miRNA, discovered in 1993, has exploded and revolutionized our understanding of molecular regulation in biological systems. MicroRNAs are now a well established as a regu- latory mechanism of many pathways ...
Role of the cannabinoid receptor 2 in the development of surgical neuropathic pain
(2018-12-12)
When normal nociceptive pain becomes chronic, it loses its protective function and causes a general pain hypersensitivity. Neuropathic pain is one type of chronic pain, which is caused by various diseases or physical injury ...
