Modeling of human vitreous as viscoelastic fluid considering the orientation of collagen fibers
(2021-11)
For the most common treatment of retinal diseases worldwide by drug distribution in the human vitreous we developed the mathematical model of the vitreous. Compare to previous works we focus on the vitreous as a viscoelastic fluid including its heterogeneous property due to the orientation of collagen fibers. By using the incompressible viscoelastic Burgers-type model based on experimental data as the specific constitutive equation in the setting of continuum mechanics we considered its non-Newtonian nature. This ...

Development of digital fluorescence light sheet microscopy for high-resolution optical imaging
(2021-12-15)
In modern biology investigating the morphological development of an organism is an inevitable task. Optical microscopy has been extensively used to monitor the live tissue changes in a model organism and it is typically used in conjunction with white light or fluorescence microscopy. The fluorescence microscopy occupies a significant place in biological research due to its ability to address various biological question at subcellular level of a biological sample. One of the more recent developments in fluorescence ...

Numerical Methods for Fluid Flow: High Order SBP Schemes, IMEX Advection-Diffusion Splitting and Positivity Preservation for Production-Destruction PDEs
(2021-01)
The current demands regarding the numerical simulation of fluid flow often require highly accurate computations to obtain a detailed resolution of the occurring physical phenomena. The basic concept for the construction of a fluid solver is to transfer the physical model into a numerical scheme which complies with the underlying physical principles such as conservation and balances of certain quantities. In addition, the numerical methods are required to be stable and efficient. Again, stability is often determined ...

Synthese von [3]Ferrocenophanen und Ferrocen-verbrückten Oligophosphanen zur (elektro-)chemischen Erzeugung Phosphor-basierter Radikale
(2021-12)
Phosphor-basierte Radikale wurden in der Vergangenheit neben der bewährten Verwendung zur Phosphanierung von (an-)organischen Verbindungen auch als Reduktionsmittel in Einzelelektronen-Transfer-Reaktionen, als Radikalstarter oder als Flammschutzmittel eingesetzt. Ein geeigneter Weg, solche Radikale zu erzeugen, führt über eine thermisch induzierte homolytische Spaltung einer zentralen, sterisch abgeschirmten, elektronenreichen Bindung wie in Bisaminodiphosphanen X₂P PX₂ (X = NR₂). Ein Nachteil sind hier die meist ...

Identifying critical demand scenarios for the robust capacitated network design problem using principal component analysis
(2021-11-30)
In this paper, we consider the single-commodity robust network design problem. Given an undirected graph with capacity installation costs on its edges and a set S of scenarios with associated flow balance vectors that represent different scenarios of node supplies and demands, the goal is to find integer edge capacities that minimize the total installation cost and permit a feasible single commodity flow for each scenario. This problem arises, for example, in the design of power networks, which are dimensioned to ...

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 ...

Association of neighboring β-Strands to form the β-barrel structure of the voltage-dependent anion channel, human isoform 1 (hVDAC1) precedes membrane insertion and is largely driven by polar interactions between basic and acidic amino acid side-chains
(2020)
To date, all biophysical folding studies on β-barrel membrane proteins from outer membranes (OMPs) indicated a coupled mechanism of folding and membrane insertion. Most of these studies were performed with smaller OMPs from bacteria. Here we have investigated folding and insertion of a mitochondrial OMP, the voltage-dependent anion-selective channel (VDAC), human isoform 1 (hVDAC1). To examine whether folding and insertion are coupled for hVDAC1, the association of neighboring β-strands of the 19-stranded β-barrel ...

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 ...

Die koordinationschemische Ambivalenz zweier mesoionischer Triazoliumaminide
(2020-05)
Die vorliegende Arbeit beleuchtet die Koordinationschemie zweier Mesoionen, die in Abhängigkeit vom angebotenen Zentralatom als N-heterocyclische Carben- (NHC-) oder Amido-Liganden fungieren. Durch Tautomerisierung der Triazoliumaminid-Form zum korrespondierenden Amino-NHC ermöglichen das seit über einem Jahrhundert bekannte analytische Reagenz »Nitron« (1) sowie dessen in dieser Arbeit entwickeltes Alkyl-Homolog 1-tert-Butyl-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazol-4-ium-3-tert-butylaminid (2) einen bequemen Zugang zur Chemie der ...
