Numerical simulation of a sub-wavelength plasmonic THz antenna for bio-sensing applications
(2023)
In the past decades, bio-sensing has become a steadily growing field in the life-sciences. Popular subjects of investigation are proteins, which for instance mediate intra-cellular transfer of substances and thus are attractive drug targets. They are also responsible for the occurence of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and the Creutzfeld-Jakob disease. Examining proteins to uncover their fundamental properties and behavior is important in order to advance modern health care and medicine. One way to ...

Biochemical Characterization of Microtubule-Associated Serine/Threonine Kinases
(2023)
The association of human microtubule-associated serine/threonine (MAST) kinases with different diseases, such as neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer, leads to hight interest in understanding the function of these understudied kinases. This PhD thesis provides the first consolidated biochemical analysis of three different human MAST kinases (MAST1-3) and the Drosophila melanogaster homologue drop out protein (DOP).

Modeling analysis of 21st century climate change projections and their impacts on the hydrology of the Karaj-Jajrood basin, Iran
(2023-12)
Two main rivers, Karaj and Jajrood which provide metropolitan Tehrans’ water, flow in Alborz and Tehran province, respectively. In the last decades, the impact of climate change on temperature and precipitation is tangible in these two provinces. For the Karaj-Jajrood basin, during the period 2003-2012, the minimum temperature increased by 1°C, the maximum temperature by 0.6°C and precipitation decreased by -7%, relative to the average of 1972-2012.
To assess climate change impacts in the region, the Statistical ...

Effektive Integration von heterogenen Produktkatalogen im schnelllebigen Umfeld des E-Commerce
(2023)
Online-Marktplätze generieren von Jahr zu Jahr einen größeren Anteil des Einzelhandelsumsatzes. Ein wichtiger Faktor für den Erfolg von Online-Marktplätzen ist die korrekte Darstellung der Produktdaten für ihre Kunden. Diese Daten werden häufig von Zulieferern in Form von Produktkatalogen zur Verfügung gestellt, die in den Online-Marktplatz integriert werden müssen. Um dies zu erreichen, sind insbesondere kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen häufig auf aufwändige manuelle Arbeitsschritte bei der Datenintegration ...

Community-Resilience und Bürgerbeteiligung
(2023)
Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, anhand der Forschungsfragen dieser Grundlagenstudie einen Zusammenhang von Community Resilience und Bürgerbeteiligung nachzuweisen und den Weg zur weiteren Diskussion multipler Resilienz bzw. multiresilienter Gesellschaften zu eröffnen. Im theoretischen Teil der Arbeit wurden anhand der untersuchten Fachliteratur in ausgewählten Richtungen der Resilienzforschung keine Verbindungen zur Bürgerbeteiligung festgestellt. Ebenso zeigen die untersuchten Handbücher und Leitlinien zur Bürgerbeteiligung ...

Analysis of agricultural landscape transformation and cropping system diversification in southern Myanmar
(2023)
Myanmar's forests are rich in biodiversity and have significant potential for carbon reduction. Kyunsu Township in southern Myanmar is still covered by biodiverse tropical evergreen rainforests on the highlands and mangroves on the coastline, conserving carbon stocks. However, the expansion of croplands into these forests to meet the growing demand for food and crop income is a major driver of deforestation and loss of carbon sinks. Thus, balancing agricultural land use and natural resource conservation is vital for ...

Functional Analysis of Src42A in embryonic epithelial morphogenesis of Drosophila melanogaster
(2023)
Src42A is one of the Src family kinases (SFKs) present in Drosophila melanogaster. In mammals there are 8 SFKs and so far, a loss of function analysis of SFKs were difficult to conduct due to their functional redundancy. In Drosophila, there are only two SFKs namely Src42A and Src64B, the former is essential for embryonic development and the latter is a non-essential gene. Since Src42A is supplied as a maternal component, the zygotic mutant were showing defects in later developmental stages, because the contribution ...

Management factors influencing cow milk quality and safety in the Indian megacity of Bengaluru
(2023)
Ensuring animal welfare is a critical priority for livestock farmers in the face of urbanization. Rapid urban growth increases the demand for animal products but decreases availability of arable land around cities with negative implications for animal feed production. In urbanizing regions, livestock keepers resort to common pool resources for animal nutrition. Yet, the repercussions of urbanization on the quality of common pool feed resources, animal health, production and product safety, remain unstudied. Additionally, ...

Eine Philologie der Denkformen für Indien und Europa: Sanskrit-Sūtras und Semiotik in den Cultural Studies
(2023-12)
Die anglistisch-indologische Verortung von Sanskrit-Sūtras und Semiotik in den Cultural Studies beschreibt gleichsam metonymisch die Agenda einer Vorgehensweise im Verbund von Philologie und Philosophie, verschiedene Traditionen indischen Denkens für ein zeichenphilosophisches Programm der Kulturwissenschaften zu erschließen. Dabei dient die mikrologische Rekonstruktion von Denkformen im Sinne ihrer jeweiligen semiotischen Matrix und logischen Strukturen als methodischer Bezugspunkt für die Betrachtung exemplarischer ...
