Land tenure in a changing climate
(2023)
Climate change and extreme weather have far-reaching impacts on agriculture. They do not only affect agricultural production, but also fundamental assets that shape agricultural livelihoods. In this dissertation, I study the relation of weather and climate with agricultural land tenure in low- and middle-income countries. Secure access to land is of vital importance for farmers, but insecure tenure is a reality for millions of farmers around the globe. They are unsure whether they will be able to continue farming ...

Consequences of Deep Rolling at Elevated Temperature on Near-Surface and Fatigue Properties of High-Manganese TWIP Steel X40MnCrAl19-2
(2021-11-05)
Due to pronounced work-hardening induced by the complex interplay of deformation mechanisms such as dislocation slip, twinning and/or martensitic phase transformation, high-manganese steels represent a class of materials well-suited for mechanical surface treatment. In the present study, the fatigue behavior of a high-mangsanese steel showing twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) effect at room temperature (RT) was investigated after deep rolling at 550 °C. Results are compared to a former study discussing the behavior ...

Molekulare Grundlagen der PKA-Lokalisierung durch A-Kinase-Ankerproteine
(2018-08-30)
A-Kinase-Ankerproteine (AKAPs) tragen maßgeblich zur Spezifität des ubiquitären cAMP-Signalweges bei. Dies geschieht unter anderem durch die Verankerung der cAMP-abhängigen Proteinkinase (PKA) an verschiedene Zellorganellen, wodurch die PKA-Effekte lokal und zeitlich begrenzt werden. AKAPs variieren erheblich in Größe und Struktur, zeigen aber als gemeinsames Strukturmotiv eine amphipathische Helix auf. Alle vier Isoformen der regulatorischen Untereinheit der PKA (PKA-R) bilden bei Dimerisierung eine hydrophobe ...

Taste masking in vegan food processing with natural substitutes
(2022-12-29)
Climate change, sustainability issues, increased risks of meat diet on both ecology and human health cause changes in the eating habits of individuals. Plant-based foods supply protein sources with health-promoting compounds. The bitterness of plant-based foods is a challenge for both food manufacturers and consumers. So far, artificial taste blockers, salt, sugar, and fat have been applied to mask the bitterness of plant-based products. However, people are conscious of "clean labelling " and "natural " ingredients ...

The effects of weather factors on titrating acids accumulation in sweet cherry fruits
(2022-12-29)
During the fruit formation, the weather conditions have a decisive influence on the organic acids accumulation. In the context of global climate change, this issue has become new. The study of the titrated acids content in sweet cherry fruits was carried out for 12 years. Cherry fruits of three ripening groups were selected for the study. The average and strong correlation dependence between 11 weather factors and the titrated acids content for the sweet cherries varieties of early, middle, late ripening periods were ...

Interatomic Coulombic decay in noble gas clusters of varying sizes investigated by photon-induced (dispersed) fluorescence spectrometry
(2018-06-06)
The main topic of this thesis is to study experimentally an ultrafast and efficient non radiative mechanism – the well-known interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) – in noble gas clusters by employing fluorescence spectrometry technique in combination with synchrotron radiation. Using Neon clusters as prototype systems, a special variety of ICD, termed resonant ICD (RICD), has been investigated by a selective excitation of one component of the cluster and for different mean cluster sizes. The first part of the thesis was ...

Computeralgebraische Herleitung und Auswertung atomarer Störungsreihen und deren Anwendung auf geschlossenschalige und einfache offenschalige Systeme
(2006-11-09)
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde gezeigt, wie mit Hilfe der atomaren Vielteilchenstörungstheorie totale Energien und auch Anregungsenergien von Atomen und Ionen berechnet werden können. Dabei war es zunächst erforderlich, die Störungsreihen mit Hilfe computeralgebraischer Methoden herzuleiten. Mit Hilfe des hierbei entwickelten Maple-Programmpaketes APEX wurde dies für geschlossenschalige Systeme und Systeme mit einem aktiven Elektron bzw. Loch bis zur vierten Ordnung durchgeführt, wobei die entsprechenden Terme ...

Design, implementation and application of a generic framework for integrated regional land-use modeling
(2008-02-19)
Land use is a crucial link between human activities and the natural environment and one of the main driving forces of global environmental change. Large parts of the terrestrial land surface are used for agriculture, forestry, settlements and infrastructure. Given the importance of land use, it is essential to understand the multitude of influential factors and resulting land use patterns. An essential methodology to study and quantify such interactions is provided by the adoption of land-use models. By the application ...

3D Simultaneous Inversion for Seismic Structure and Local Hypocenters in Germany under Consideration of Seismic Anisotropy in the Upper Mantel
(2010-10-20)
The main task of this work has been to investigate the effects of anisotropy onto the propagation of seismic waves along the Upper Mantle below Germany and adjacent areas.
Refraction- and reflexion seismic experiments proved the existence of Upper Mantle anisotropy and its influence onto the propagation of Pn-waves.
By the 3D tomographic investigations that have been done here for the crust and the upper mantle, considering the influence of anisotropy, a gap for the investigations in Europe has been closed.
These ...

Ein klimaneutrales Kassel bis 2030: Handlungsleitfaden im Bereich Naturschutz
(2023)
2019 beschloss die Stadtverordnetenversammlung Kassel, die Stadt bis 2030 klimaneutral zu machen (StaVo 2019a); dafür wurde als Beratungsgremium der Klimaschutzrat eingerichtet (StaVo 2019b). In der Regionalgruppe Kassel der Scientists for Future wurde zur Unterstützung ein Forschungsprojekt initiiert, um für dieses Ziel einen Handlungsleitfaden zu entwickeln. Sinnvollerweise enthielt der Beschluss zum Klimaschutzrat auch die Einrichtung einer Unterarbeitsgruppe Naturschutz und Biodiversität, außer den üblichen Themen ...
