Three-dimensional hydrodynamic and ecosystem modeling of warm-monomictic reservoirs (Maroon and Abolabbas, Iran) under the impact of 21st century climate change
(2021-11)
Lakes and reservoirs, as the endpoint of their upstream catchment, collect their water as the resultant of the hydrological and ecosystem processes and, thus, act as a gauge of their catchment’s management. Physical processes, e.g. stratification and mixing and propagation of density currents, are the main drivers of the biochemical factors in lakes and reservoirs and are prone to be altered and affected by climate change. Hydrodynamic models are the tools to simulate the behavior of the water body under various ...

Embracing the risks and the potentials for a sustainable dairy value chain in Georgia: Assessment of dairy value chain sustainability, constraints and opportunities in Kvemo Kartli region, Georgia
(2021-10-15)
Der Agrarsektor in Georgien und vielen Ländern der Welt spielt die führende Rolle in der Wirtschaft dieser Länder und gilt als eine der wesentlichen Säulen für die Verringerung der Armut und die Wiederbelebung der lokalen Wirtschaft. Georgien strebt danach, Nachhaltigkeitssysteme zu erreichen und diese in einer neuen Politik umzusetzen. Doch allein auf die Landwirtschaft kann man sich nicht verlassen, um die aktuellen Herausforderungen zu meistern. Daher konzentriert sich die Agrarpolitik in vielen Ländern auf die ...

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 ...

Simulation, Validierung und Optimierung eines innovativen Kühlsystems bestehend aus PCM-Kühldecken und PINC-Anlage
(2020)
Das Integrieren von passiver infrarot Nachtkühlung (PINC) als volatile erneuerbare Energiequelle in wassergeführte Bürokühlsysteme durch Anwendung von deckenintegrierten aktiv regenerierbaren Phasenwechselmaterialien (PCM-Kühldecken) als dezentraler Kältespeicher im Raum zur Lastenverschiebung stellt ein innovatives Low-Ex Kühlsystem dar, das zwei Hauptprobleme aufweist. Diese Probleme sind einerseits die dynamische Wechselwirkung zwischen Erzeugung und Speicherung wegen der volatilen Kältequelle und der schwankenden ...

Internal Interruptions at Work
(2020)
This dissertation investigates internal interruptions at work, one of the main drivers of multitasking behaviour. The four empirical studies cumulated in this dissertation examine the preconditions to internal interruptions at work, the reasons behind why individuals interrupt themselves, the strategic advantage of internal interruptions, and impact of internal interruptions on performance. The main goals of this dissertation are to uncover the underlying processes of internal interruptions and observe it in real ...

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 ...

Behaviour Study of Grouted Connection for Offshore Wind Turbine Structures with Brittle Cement Based Grouts
(2020)
Researches show that the energy demand in the world is significantly increasing and climate change becomes a problematic issue, therefore, the interest in renewable energy is growing extremely fast. Offshore wind energy is one of the most effective renewable sources in Europe and other places in the world. One of the most important parts in the offshore foundation is the grouted connection as it is the first element to be designed in the design of the foundation structure of an offshore wind turbine because the ...

Process optimisation and development of non-invasive monitoring approaches for the drying of apples
(2020)
Drying is of great importance particularly in the field of preserving agricultural products. It plays a very critical role by delivering nutrient rich products with a long shelf-life as well as help to combat food loss. Drying processing techniques have changed and improved significantly over time, helping to ensure food abundance in both aesthetical and nutritional regards. Convective hot air drying is one of the most common technique practiced by 85 % of industries. It can be easily applied in the remote areas of ...

Crowd-Based Entrepreneurship
(2020)
The aim of this dissertation is to explore the innovation potential of crowdsourcing for entrepreneurship. The main focus is to discover how crowd-based infrastructures (i. e., crowdsourcing platforms and crowdfunding platforms) can support entrepreneurs in their innovation activities and how this new paradigm can be used to generate value for customers as well as actors of entrepreneurial ecosystems. The results of the dissertation show that crowdsourcing offers numerous opportunities to support entrepreneurs in ...

Food commercialization, hidden hunger and malnutrition: A study of food and nutrition security, focusing on the marginalized society in Sri Lanka
(2020-09)
From 2016 to 2019, a collaborative research project between the Rajarata University of Sri Lanka and the Department of Organic Food Quality and Food Culture, University of Kassel, Germany, was carried out to investigate the food commercialization, hidden hunger, and malnutrition in marginalized societies in Sri Lanka.
Consuming a healthy diet, maintaining good health, and chronic diseases is a challenge for those struggling with poverty and food insecurity for various reasons in Sri Lanka, including limited financial ...
