The Role of NMDA Receptor Co-Agonists in Dendritic Integration
(2021-03-26)
The integration of synaptic inputs is the fundamental function of neurons. This integration does not only take place at the soma, but also dendrites can actively shape the input-output computations of a neuronal network. ...
Weak lensing shape measurement calibration studying effects of stronger shears and cluster contamination for the mass estimation of relaxed galaxyclusters
(2020-09-25)
Weak lensing measurements suffer from well-known shear estimation biases, which can be partially corrected for with the use of image simulations. In this work we present an analysis of simulated images that mimick observations ...
Foresighted Human-Aware Robot Navigation Based on Predicted Object-Interactions
(2020-11-02)
Since the beginning of the digital revolution robots have become an increasingly important part of modern live. Until recently, this trend was primarily observable in industrial robots, however, with the success of the ...
The influence of environmental UVB radiation on growth, immunity, behavior and sexually selected traits in the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus)
(2020-07-13)
Changing photic conditions are, next to global warming, the major aspect in terms of ongoing global climate change and mainly occur within the short-wave and high-energetic ultraviolet-B (UVB) part of the electromagnetic ...
Global Timing Optimization in Chip Design
(2021-04-12)
In this thesis, we aim at solving the interconnect optimization problem comprehensively. By balancing global timing, routing, placement, and power constraints in a global model, we obtain solutions which outperform the ...
Structural and functional characterization of human coagulation factor XIII
(2020-06-02)
The formation of a fibrin clot in blood plasma is a two-step event which involves formation of a “primary clot” comprising of fibrin polymers by from fibrin monomers under the action of thrombin and subsequently the ...
Mapping the immune landscape in the alveolar space reveals alterations of multiple macrophage states in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(2021-03-26)
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is ranked among the three leading causes of death worldwide and hence constitutes a significant burden, both medically and financially. The disease is characterized by a poorly ...
Geometric and topological recursion and invariants of the moduli space of curves
(2021-10-29)
A thread common to many problems of enumeration of surfaces is the idea that complicated cases can be recovered from simpler ones through a recursive procedure. Solving the problem for the simplest topologies and expressing ...
Analyse des Lon Einflusses auf die Hitze-induzierte Aggregation mitochondrialer Proteine und auf die Bildung von Aggregatablagerungen
(2020-07-13)
Die mitochondriale Matrix Protease Lon ist ein essentieller Bestandteil des mitochondrialen Protein Qualitätskontroll-Systems. Der Verlust von Lon führt zu einer erhöhten Apoptoserate und embryonaler Letalität im Mausmodell. ...
A geometric approach to the embedding calculus knot invariants
(2020-10-09)
In this thesis we consider two homotopy theoretic approaches to the study of spaces of knots: the theory of finite type invariants of Vassiliev and the embedding calculus of Goodwillie and Weiss, and address connections ...
