Minimisation problems in continuum mechanics and generalised convex hulls
(2022-11-24)
The goal of this thesis is the analysis of functionals subject to a differential constraint. These functionals appear in minimisation problems which are connected to problems coming from continuum mechanics. In the ...
Genetic variations in root architecture traits for water and nitrogen use efficiency in wheat and barley
(2022-11-24)
The soil edaphic resources such as water and nitrogen are essential for crop production because they are required by plants for proper growth and tissue development. The global crop production is vulnerable due to rapid ...
Evolution and genetic basis of pelvic-brooding, a derived reproductive strategy in Sulawesi ricefishes (Beloniformes: Adrianichthyidae)
(2022-11-04)
In Sulawesi ricefishes (Adrianichthyidae, Beloniformes) a derived reproductive strategy evolved. It is unique in the way that females of pelvic brooding species carry the eggs for up to 18 days until the fry hatches outside ......
Options to improve irrigation efficiency and productivity under rotational delivery schedule, a bottom-up approach applied at canal irrigation scheme in Pakistan
(2022-12-06)
In Punjab, Pakistan, the Warabandi principle guides the distribution of surface water over a network of canals providing farmers with limited water in proportion to land size in a fixed 7-days rotation. Current problems ...
Investigating the ability of RIG-I agonists to provide protection in mouse and ferret models of respiratory virus infection
(2022-05-17)
Respiratory infections caused by influenza A virus (IAV) or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lead to substantial morbidity and mortality. Treatment options are limited and there is urgent need for the development of ......
I) Characterization of LytR-CpsA-Psr enzymes and their role in Staphylococcus aureus cell wall formation
II) Elucidating the mode of action of Cacaoidin, a novel class V lantibiotic
(2022-04-04)
Antibiotic resistance poses a serious threat to human health, demanding for the discovery and development of antibiotics with resistance-breaking properties. New antibiotics should be sought with the focus on novel chemistry ...
Identification and pharmacological characterization of nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase-1 (NPP1) and -4 (NPP4) inhibitors
(2022-07-29)
Ectonucleotidases are enzymes involved in different physiological functions and mainly in the regulation of purinergic signaling; in fact, they regulate the duration of purinergic receptor activation by catalyzing the ...
Carvedilol-mediated signal transduction at the β2 adrenergic receptor
(2022-07-14)
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprise the most prominent family of membrane proteins in the mammalian genome. They are required to relay extracellular cues into a cellular response. The environmental interactions ...
The Role of Inosine in Adipose Tissue Metabolism
(2022-05-02)
During the last decades, obesity has become a pandemic disease, associated with severe comorbidities, and a major problem for health care systems. Obesity results from energy imbalance, when energy intake exceeds energy ......
The combined effect of bracket design, archwire cross-section and alloy on orthodontic forces, moments and the resultant tooth alignment
(2022-05-25)
Aim: The purpose of the study was to determine the force and moment capacity, as well as the effectiveness of fully customised lingual brackets in comparison to labial bracket systems with the use of various ...
