In this thesis, I report on the experimental investigation and the computer simulation of optical microfibre-based modal interferometers. An optical microfibre (OMF) can be produced from a commercial single-mode optical ...

A multi-channel high-precision low-power time-to-digital converter application specific integrated circuit for high energy physics applications has been designed and implemented in a 130 nm CMOS process. To reach a target ...

This interdisciplinary thesis deals with the numerical investigation of bone remodeling around dental implants during the healing period with regard to biomechanical aspects. The aim of the study was to develop algorithms ...

The pyrophilous beetle Melanophila acuminata possesses an organ sensitive to IR radiation. It employs a photomechanic detection principle: A liquid filled pressure chamber is heated by absorbing the radiation. The ...

Pulsars are rapidly-rotating, highly-magnetized compact neutron stars. Their strong gravitational and magnetic fields, together with the stability of their rotations and the precision with which we can measure them using ...

Bei der Erforschung von Materie hat man sich in der Geschichte schrittweise, durch Beobachtungen und Modelle, an ihre untergeordneten Strukturen herangetastet. Aus heutiger Sicht sind Quarks und Gluonen, neben den Elektronen, ...

In dieser Arbeit stellen wir erstmalig einen parallelen Löser für inkompressible Zweiphasenströmungen mit Oberflächenspannung in drei Raumdimensionen vor, der Masseerhaltung und hohe Konvergenzordnung vereint. Als zweite ...
