Development of workflows for metabarcoding of mass-samples: A case study on Diptera
(2020-02-14)
The main goal was developing a workflow for comprehensive biodiversity monitoring using a DNA Barcoding approach. As one of the major insect groups in the Palearctic the diverse order of Diptera served as an experimental ...
Climate field reconstructions from pollen and macrofossil syntheses using Bayesian hierarchical models
(2020-01-09)
Studying past climate states is important to understand climate changes and climate variability on centennial to orbital timescales, to analyze the reaction of the Earth system to large-scale changes in external forcings, ...
Pulsar searching with the Effelsberg telescope
(2020-02-21)
Pulsars, highly magnetised rapidly-rotating neutron stars, have proved themselves to be incredible tools for exploring many aspects of fundamental physics and astrophysics. More opportunities for building new theories and ...
Probing new physics with boosted H → bb decays with the ATLAS detector at 13 TeV
(2020-01-27)
The discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider was a major success in particle physics. Even though studies of the Higgs boson suggest that its properties are in agreement ......
The chloroplast calcium sensor protein CAS is part of the STN7/STN8 kinase phosphorylation network and is required for photoacclimation
(2020-03-10)
In the present work, the phosphorylation profile of the chloroplast-localized Calcium Sensing Receptor (CAS) from A. thaliana was investigated and it could be shown that CAS is a target of multiple protein kinases acting ......
Development of oligomer-specific antibodies against tau protein and testing of therapeutic potential in a cell model of tau pathology
(2020-04-15)
Tau, a microtubule associated protein, forms abnormal aggregates in many neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer disease (AD). There is an urgent need for disease-modifying therapies of AD and related tauopathies. ......
Regulation des Cochaperons BAG3 durch Phosphorylierung und Dephosphorylierung
(2020-01-07)
Die Zelle ist die kleinste Organisationseinheit, aus der alle Organismen aufgebaut sind. Sie ist auf ein Gleichgewicht der Proteinausstattung, die Proteostase, angewiesen. Auch das Cytoskelett ist essentiell für die Zelle, ...
Nuclear Physics in a finite volume: Investigation of two-particle and α-cluster systems
(2021-01-25)
We investigate both analytically and numerically some artifacts introduced by the lattice environment in two-body charged fermion and antifermion systems and in α-conjugate nuclei. The finite (hyper)cubic lattice as a ...
On the membrane model and the discrete Bilaplacian
(2021-04-26)
This thesis is concerned with the membrane model, an example of a discrete random interface model. This model arises, for example, when studying thermal fluctuations in biomembranes. Mathematically, it is given as a Gibbs ...
Translocal resilience in a changing environment: Rural-urban migration, livelihood risks, and adaptation in Thailand
(2021-01-25)
This dissertation addresses the intersection of rural livelihoods, resilience towards risks and changes, and migration. By and large, it spotlights the migration–resilience interaction in the con-text of rural transition ...
