InP - based quantum dots for telecom wavelengths ranges
(2019-12)
Long-distance quantum communication applications require sources of single photons, emitting at telecom wavelengths (around 1550 nm) with minimum attenu-ation losses of silica fiber.
Semiconductor self-assembled InAs/InP-based quantum dots (QDs) are possible candidates to
reach this spectral region. One of the challenges on the way is a QD asymmetry, which limits the fidelity of entangled photons. Therefore, morphological and optical properties of QDs should be improved in order to achieve the necessary quality and ...

Diversity of aphyllophoroid fungi from taxonomical and biogeographical perspectives
(2018)
Comprehensive knowledge of biodiversity is a prerequisite for its long-term conservation and sustainable use. Fungi play crucial roles in ecosystems and are among the species-richest organism groups on Earth. However, all aspects of their diversity remain underexplored.
In this study, we aimed to fill the gaps in occurrence data and taxonomy as well as in understanding spatial diversity patterns of aphyllophoroid fungi (non-gilled macroscopic Basidiomycota). We digitized and made openly accessible 4,041 records of ...

Investigation of the functional synergy and involvement of different tRNA modifications in translational control
(2020-07-02)
Transfer RNAs are essential adapter molecules employed in the translational process and are highly modified all over their structure. Specific modification of the four canonical ribonucleotides (A, U, C, G) is accomplished by various proteins and/or protein complexes, ranging from simple isomerisations (e.g. Ψ) and methylations (e.g. m5C) up to complex chemical structures (e.g. mcm5s2U, ct6A). The functions of tRNA modifications are linked to the specific position and may influence translation by supporting the native ...

The tRNA binding protein Kti12 and its role in the regulation of Elongator complex
(2020-06-08)
[Summary] Kti12 is a conserved eukaryotic protein showing sequence homology to O-phosphoseryltRNA kinase (Pstk), which is required for the synthesis of selenocysteine tRNA. Saccharomyces cerevisiae Kti12 was originally discovered in a genetic screening for resistance against zymocin, a protein toxin produced by Kluyveromyces lactis. The cytotoxicity of zymocin lies in its anticodon nuclease activity, causing tRNA depletion and cell death in sensitive yeast cells. It recognizes and cleaves a particular wobble uridine ...

Synthese neuartiger konjugierter mesomerer Betaine und ihr Koordinationsverhalten
(2019-12)
Lange Zeit galten Carbene als transiente Spezies, deren Labilität bzw. hohe Reaktivität gegen eine Isolierbarkeit in Substanz sprach. Erst nach der richtungsweisenden Entdeckung durch ARDUENGO et al., die ein stabiles freies Carben kristallin erhalten konnten, wurden mehr und mehr stabile Carbene isoliert. Das ARDUENGO-Carben gehört zu der Klasse der N-heterocyclischen Carbene (NHCs). Die Stabilität solcher Carbene wird durch zwei Aminosubstituenten am CCarben-Atom und des Weiteren durch die Eingliederung dieses ...

Optical Amplification in Disordered Waveguiding Systems
(2020)
Bei dem Phänomen der verstärkten Emission in ungeordneten Systemen handelt es sich um ein wiederentdecktes und über die letzten Jahrzehnte stark debattiertes Themengebiet in der Literatur. Diese Dissertation soll hierzu zwei experimentelle Ansätze bieten, wobei beide in der Lage sind, bei optischer Anregung entweder Random Lasing oder Verstärkte Spontane Emission zu zeigen.
In dieser Arbeit wird thermisch induzierte Faltenbildung (Wrinklebildung) als neuer Ansatz zur Herstellung von Streuzentren in wellenleitenden ...

Fabrication and characterization of diamond nanopillars, waveguides and AFM tips with incorporated color centers
(2020-06)
Diamond is a unique material with outstanding properties and the perfect host for different crystal defects in its lattice, so-called color centers, which provide exceptional spin properties, rendering them a promising platform for the development of novel devices and components in quantum information technologies (QIT) and quantum sensing applications. To overcome diamond's high internal reflection due to its high refractive index, color centers need to be incorporated in photonic diamond structures, leading to ...

Translationskontrolle in der Spermatogenese von Drosophila: Charakterisierung eines regulatorischen mRNP-Komplexes
(2012-05-23)
Während der Spermatogenese von Drosophila werden viele mRNAs zwar vor der Meiose transkribiert, dann aber durch Komplexbildung mit Proteinen stillgelegt und erst am Ende der Spermienentwicklung durch Veränderung desselben für die Translation freigegeben. Ein Beispiel hierfür ist die Mst87F mRNA. Während das cis-agierende Sequenzelement in der RNA seit langem bekannt ist, gestaltete sich die Suche nach den trans-agierenden RNA-bindenden Proteinen schwierig. In meiner Diplomarbeit (Stinski, 2007) waren mithilfe von ...

Biological Photonic Crystals: Diatoms
(2009-09-14)
The aim of this work was to produce a variety of fluorescent diatom cell wall material as a basis for spectroscopic investigations of the influence of the photonic structure on the emission of an incorporated laser dye. This goal was achieved by the method of in vivo-fluorochromation, in which the fluorescence dyes are incorporated by the diatom cells during cell wall formation. Several fluorescent dyes (mostly rhodamines) known as strong laser dyes, were tested for a possible application within this method. The ...

Die Ausbildung von Proteinaggregaten durch ektopisch lokalisierte, oligomerisierende, Aktin-bindende Proteine
(2011-12-21)
Die ektopische Lokalisation des Aktin-bündelnden Proteins VASP an die späten Endosomen mittels VacuolinA-Myc (VAM) führt zur Ausbildung von Aktin-haltigen Aggregaten, die Ähnlichkeiten mit Hirano Bodies haben, welche neurodegenerativen Krankheiten in verschiedenen Organen entstehen. VAM-VASP-Aggregate haben neben Aktin noch einige Aktin-interagierende Proteine sequestriert und nehmen Einfluss auf unterschiedliche physiologische Prozesse der Zelle, wie z. B. das Wachstum, die Zytokinese oder den endozytotischen ...
