Bestimmung der mittleren Clustergröße und ortsspezifischen Zustände homogener Edelgascluster mittels Fluoreszenzspektroskopie
(2021)
Der Übergang von mikroskopischen zu makroskopischen Systemen ist in den Naturwissenschaften von grundlegendem Interesse, da im zugehörigen Übergangsbereich größenabhängige Entwicklungen physikalischer Eigenschaften sowie auch gänzlich neue Prozesse auftreten. Edelgascluster ermöglichen einen experimentellen Zugang zur Untersuchung dieses Zwischenbereichs.
Die durch Van-der-Waals-Kräfte gebundenen inerten Edelgasatome fungieren als Prototypsysteme zur Untersuchung derartiger fundamentaler Prozesse. Sie werden mittels ...

Long-term voltage stability of electric power systems hosting inverter-interfaced energy sources
(2021)
The study of power system dynamics refers to the motion of electro-mechanical and electro-magnetic quantities such as voltages, currents, rotational speeds, angles and powers under the action of forces caused by system disturbances. For decades, such dynamics have been extensively dominated by large Synchronous Generators (SGs). Not a surprising statement, considering that the power systems that we know today were built based on the SG concept since the closing decades of the 19th century. It all began in 1891, when ...

Organizational resilience
(2020)
Typical terms in organizational resilience definitions are maintenance of positive adjustment or bouncing back. They are very vague and need further specification if they are to be understood. At the beginning of my dissertation in 2016 there were hardly any comprehensive conceptual articles and review papers. Now, in 2020, there are some good conceptual articles (Darkow, 2019; Duchek, 2019; Linnenluecke, 2017; Williams et al., 2017) yet few empirical studies (van der Vegt, Essens, Wahlstrom, & Georg, 2015), which ...

Persönlichkeitseigenschaften guter BeobachterInnen – eine experimentelle Studie anhand direkter und indirekter Messmethoden
(2020)
Die vorliegende Dissertation befasst sich mit der Frage, wer, mit welcher Persönlichkeit, andere Personen hinsichtlich ihrer Persönlichkeit besonders gut einschätzen kann. Dazu wurde ein experimentelles Setting geschaffen, bei dem 31 als BeobachterInnen fungierende ProbandInnen sechs weitere ProbandInnen anhand einer auf Video aufgezeichneten, assessmentcenter-ähnlichen Gruppendiskussion möglichst akkurat hinsichtlich ihrer Persönlichkeit einschätzen sollten. Dabei wurde sowohl die Persönlichkeit der DiskutantInnen ...

Development of feedback control for energy policy design to guarantee sustainable solar and wind power investment growth
(2021)
Energy transition in the power sector is one of the main pathways to achieving the climate targets. In order to stimulate renewable power development, regulatory policies play a vital role. However, these policies have so far attained only partial results or unexpected consequences due to the unsuitable designs. Therefore, the study addresses the question, “How do regulatory policies have to be designed in order to create a favorable environment for renewable power development?”
This work proposes to use feedback ...

Remote sensing of yield and invasive species in nature conservation grasslands invaded by Lupinus polyphyllus
(2021-07)
Extensiv bewirtschaftetes Grünland und naturnahes Naturschutzgrünland sind wertvolle Bereitsteller von Ökosystemdienstleistungen und könnten eine Schlüsselrolle in zukünftigen Managementstrategien spielen zum Schutz von Arten, die durch den Klimawandel bedroht sind. Jedoch ist extensives Grünland, wie viele andere Ökosysteme, bedroht durch die Ausbreitung invasiver Arten, welche einen großen Einfluss auf den Verlust der Biodiversität haben.
Um den Herausforderungen unserer Zeit zu begegnen, sollten Innovationen in ...

Assessment and use of sea buckthorn and apple diversity in northern Pakistan
(2020-12-03)
Many local perennial plant genetic resources (P/PGR) are under threat due to over-exploitation, depletion, degradation, farmers’ favoring few cash crops, poor marketing conditions leading to low product prices along with the lack of knowledge about alternative uses and management strategies. Such processes often cause the underutilization and replacement of local P/PGR causing them to become neglected and underutilized species (NUS). The decline of species abundance may cause genetic erosion of these NUS crops and ...

Towards Service Co-evolution in the Internet of Things
(2021-12)
Nowadays, in the world of technology, where the new technologies are devolved and replace the old ones every single day, any software product in order to maintain its competitiveness, must be updated continually. Updating a software product results from an evolution process, including adding new features, replacing outdated features, repairing bugs, closing security gaps, and improving performance, which requires a lot of effort and knowledge. Therefore, the Internet of Things (IoT) services are no exception.
An ...

Dealing with Opportunism: Experimental Investigations of Measures against Dishonest Behavior
(2021)
This dissertation aims at investigating whether and how distinct measures that are supposed to foster honest behavior work. It consists of three separate papers, in which I analyze the effectiveness and mechanisms of such measures on the basis of several laboratory experiments. Chapter 2 is dedicated to analyzing and comparing the effectiveness of distinct measures that are supposed to prevent people from lying for financial gain. Chapter 3 introduces a novel experimental design that allows the measurement of the ...

Analysis of key pungent compounds in mustard products: A comparison of sensory and chemical–analytical determinations
(2020)
The consumption of mustard, horseradish and wasabi is characterized by a pungent sensation and lachrymatory effect primarily induced by allyl isothiocyanate (AITC). This study aimed to check the possible correlation between sensory-perceived pungency and the quality-determining pungency-inducing ingredients of mustard.
Primarily, the detection thresholds of sinigrin in a water-based matrix and AITC in water- and oil-based matrices were determined in a prestudy and a main study. In the prestudy, the resulting value ...
