Die Physiologie des Wirts-Parasitsystems pathogener Pilze des Eschentriebsterbens
(2019)
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde versucht, die optimalen Wachstumsbedingungen des Pilzes H. fraxineus (Haupterreger des Eschentriebsterbens) zu ermitteln. Dafür wurden drei Wachstumsversuche (Nährmedium, pH-Wert und Temperatur) an 25 Pilzstämmen durchgeführt.
• Die Ergebnisse des Nährmediumwachstumsversuches zeigten, dass Maismehl Agar Medium (MmA) die schnellste Kultivierung des Pilzes förderte und als das optimale Nährmedium gelten kann (im Vergleich mit den anderen sechs geprüften Nährmedien).
• Der pH-Wert-Versuch ...

Preferential weakening of rotational magnetic anisotropy by keV-He ion bombardment in polycrystalline exchange bias layer systems
(2018-05-04)
The consequences of keV light-ion bombardment of polycrystalline exchange bias layer systems on individual magnetic anisotropies composing the effective unidirectional magnetic anisotropy are investigated by vectorial magneto-optic Kerr effect measurements. Preferential reduction of rotatable magnetic anisotropy as compared to the other magnetic anisotropies is observable, disproving the intuitive assumption of an equable weakening of all magnetic anisotropies due to the bombardment. It is concluded that light-ion ...

Expression of NK cluster genes in the onychophoran Euperipatoides rowelli: implications for the evolution of NK family genes in nephrozoans
(2018-07-18)
Background:
Understanding the evolution and development of morphological traits of the last common bilaterian ancestor is a major goal of the evo-devo discipline. The reconstruction of this “urbilaterian” is mainly based on comparative studies of common molecular patterning mechanisms in recent model organisms. The NK homeobox genes are key players in many of these molecular pathways, including processes regulating mesoderm, heart and neural development. Shared features seen in the expression patterns of NK genes ...

Optimal control theory for a unitary operation under dissipative evolution
(2014)
We show that optimizing a quantum gate for an open quantum system requires the time evolution of only three states irrespective of the dimension of Hilbert space. This represents a significant reduction in computational resources compared to the complete basis of Liouville space that is commonly believed necessary for this task. The reduction is based on two observations: the target is not a general dynamical map but a unitary operation; and the time evolution of two properly chosen states is sufficient to distinguish ...

Mechanistic Insights into the intrinsic Kinase Regulation of LRRK2
(2019-06)
Obwohl Morbus Parkinson (PD) die zweithäufigste neurodegenerative Erkrankung darstellt, ist der Pathomechanismus kaum verstanden. Es ist jedoch erwiesen, dass PD assoziierte Mutationen die Aktivität der Leucine rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) beeinflussen, sodass diese ein potentielles Drug Target darstellt. Für ein besseres Verständnis wurden daher der intrinsische regulatorische Mechanismus und der Einfluss von Mutationen auf LRRK2 untersucht. Zusätzlich wurde der Einfluss von Nanobodies gegen die ROC Domäne von LRRK2 ...

A simple retroelement based knock-down system in Dictyostelium
(PLoS, 2015)
Characteristics of DIRS-1 Mediated Knock-Downs __ We have previously shown that the most abundant Dictyostelium discoideum retroelement DIRS-1 is suppressed by RNAi mechanisms. Here we provide evidence that both inverted terminal repeats have strong promoter activity and that bidirectional expression apparently generates a substrate for Dicer. A cassette containing the inverted terminal repeats and a fragment of a gene of interest was sufficient to activate the RNAi response, resulting in the generation of ~21 nt ...

Hybrid optimization schemes for quantum control
(Springer Open, 2015)
Optimal control theory is a powerful tool for solving control problems in quantum mechanics, ranging from the control of chemical reactions to the implementation of gates in a quantum computer. Gradient-based optimization methods are able to find high fidelity controls, but require considerable numerical effort and often yield highly complex solutions. We propose here to employ a two-stage optimization scheme to significantly speed up convergence and achieve simpler controls. The control is initially parametrized ...

Exploiting non-Markovianity for quantum control
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)
Quantum technology, exploiting entanglement and the wave nature of matter, relies on the ability to accurately control quantum systems. Quantum control is often compromised by the interaction of the system with its environment since this causes loss of amplitude and phase. However, when the dynamics of the open quantum system is non-Markovian, amplitude and phase flow not only from the system into the environment but also back. Interaction with the environment is then not necessarily detrimental. We show that the ...

Vesicle motion during sustained exocytosis in chromaffin cells
(PLoS, 2015)
Chromaffin cells release catecholamines by exocytosis, a process that includes vesicle docking, priming and fusion. Although all these steps have been intensively studied, some aspects of their mechanisms, particularly those regarding vesicle transport to the active sites situated at the membrane, are still unclear. In this work, we show that it is possible to extract information on vesicle motion in Chromaffin cells from the combination of Langevin simulations and amperometric measurements. We developed a numerical ...
