Numerical calculation of automorphic functions for finite index subgroups of triangle groups
(2015-08-20)
We present a new method to calculate automorphic functions for finite index subgroups of triangle groups. Since automorphic functions are holomorphic, it is well known that the real and the imaginary part are both harmonic. ...
Targeting the Final Step of Blood Coagulation: Structure-Activity-Relationship Studies on the Factor XIIIa Inhibitor Tridegin
(2015-09-23)
The prophylaxis and therapy of thrombotic diseases is one of the major columns supporting our continuously increasing life expectancy and health. The transglutaminase factor XIIIa (FXIIIa), which is part of the blood ...
The role of soil heterogeneity on field scale evapotranspiration: 3D integrative modelling and upscaling of root water uptake
(2015-09-24)
Background and Motivation: Hydrological models mainly rely on empirical functions to describe root water uptake. However, in case of water limitation due to either scarce or heterogeneously distributed soil water, plants ......
Mathematical Analysis of Lattice gradient models & Nonlinear Elasticity
(2015-10-07)
Statistical Mechanics is considered as one of the most sound and confirmed theories in modern physics. In this thesis, we explore the possibility to view a large class of models under the point of view of statistical ...
Surface bonding of a functionalized aromatic molecule: Adsorption configurations of PTCDA on coinage metal surfaces
(2015-12-22)
The present work aims at establishing a comprehensive model for the bonding mechanism for the adsorption of the organic prototype molecule 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic 3,4:9,10-dianhydride (PTCDA) on coinage metal ...
Diversification of livelihood strategies and the transformation of pastoralist life among Afar women in Baadu - Ethiopia
(2015-04-04)
The Afar society is undergoing a rapid socio-economic and environmental transformation process that is influencing the dominant livelihood in the region: pastoralism. A case study in Baadu, in the Afar Regional State in ...
Mainstreaming Climate Change Ad-aptation into Development Strategies in The Gambia: The Adaptation Paradigm between Resilience and Transformation
(2015-02-03)
Climate change adaptation (CCA) has emerged as a new paradigm of development politics. But as adaptation has turned out to be not as tangible as mitigation, controversies about the meaning and implementation have arisen ...
Auf dem Weg zu einer veränderten Welt(-sicht)?: Wandel von Wahrnehmungs- und Handlungsmustern durch den internationalen Freiwilligendienst am Beispiel der Don Bosco Volunteers
(2015-10-05)
Vor dem Hintergrund einer rasant zunehmenden Vernetzung der Welt bieten Programme wie etwa der internationale Freiwilligendienst die Möglichkeit, das Verständnis für andere als die eigenen Denk- und Handlungsmuster zu ...
