Ein empirischer Ansatz zur Beschreibung der Horizontaltragfähigkeit gemauerter Wandscheiben unter Berücksichtigung der Interaktion innerhalb der Gebäudestruktur
(kassel university press, 2011-05-13)
Mauerwerksbauten mit geringen Schubwandquerschnitten sind auf Grund der erhöhten Einwirkungen nach DIN 4149:2005-04 in Gebieten geringer Seismizität nicht mehr nachzuweisen. Durch Großversuche, die innerhalb eines europäischen Forschungsvorhabens durchgeführt wurden, konnte jedoch die Tragfähigkeit solcher Gebäude unter Beweis gestellt werden.
Auf Grundlage von 54 an der Universität Kassel durchgeführten Wandversuchen an geschosshohen Mauerwerksscheiben wird der Einfluss von Randbedingungen des Gesamtgebäudes ...

Trajectory Mapping in Physical and Topical Spaces
(2023)
In this dissertation, two different types of trajectories are investigated. In the engfirst part of this work, we investigate methods for the analysis of physical trajectories. We focus on scenarios, in which signal strengths ofWiFi access points are recorded. In detail, they are recorded through smartphone devices by people moving through a building. By means of theWiFi signal strengths, (physical) trajectories of humans are reconstructed, which reflect the locations visited over time. Accurate localization based ...

Individual climate mitigation in the energy sector
(2021)
Based on micro-econometric analyses of survey data, this thesis extends existing research on the determinants of climate-friendly behavior in the energy sector with a special focus on economic preferences and social identity. It contains an overarching introduction and conclusion including a discussion of the policy implications of the results and avenues for future research. The main body of the thesis contains six research articles, organized in two subsections containing three articles each. All six research ...

An Investigation of the Lie-Telling Personality Type Within Different Social Contexts
(2023)
The present work aimed to further develop and refine the nomological net of personality traits predicting deception within the specific context of romantic relationships, as well as within the academic context. The main findings are that the already established correlation between Honesty-Humility and general deceptive behavior also reliable emerged for relationship-based dishonesty and academic cheating; however, against general deception research, when examining the specific context of romantic relationships, the ...

Yield performance and weed control efficiency of organically managed silage maize double cropping systems
(2023)
Maize is among the three most important crops worldwide, while its multifunctional nature allows a diversified use. However, the traditional (silage) maize production often has negative side-effects related to the unprotected soil surface — e.g., erosion, weed pressure and related mechanical weed control. There are several alternative management systems to enhance the sustainability of (silage) maize production. However, the means and strength of influence are still unclear in some cases. Therefore, the current thesis ...

Ultrahochleistungsbetone mit Bewehrung aus Formgedächtnismetallen zur Optimierung der Frisch- und Festbetoneigenschaften
(2023-11)
Formgedächtnislegierungen haben die Eigenschaft sich durch einen thermischen oder spannungsinduzierten Impuls an eine zuvor eingeprägte Form zu „erinnern“. Dies beruht auf einer reversiblen Phasenumwandlung von der Niedrigtemperaturphase Martensit zu der Hochtemperaturphase Austenit. Durch diese Eigenschaft und die sich dadurch gebenden Möglichkeiten finden diese Legierungen auch immer mehr Beachtung im Bauingenieurwesen. Dies ist vor allem im Bereich der Energiedissipation und der externen Vorspannung und dem ...

Zweiskalensimulation von mikroheterogenen Strukturen aus spröden Faserverbundwerkstoffen
(Kassel Univ. Press, 2010)
Die vorliegende Dissertation behandelt die Zweiskalensimulation von mikroheterogenen Faserverbundwerkstoffstrukturen. Die Berechnung von Bauteilen aus inhomogenen Werkstoffen wird als Mehrskalenaufgabe betrachtet. Im Gegensatz zum Stand der Technik, der im Allgemeinen von der Betrachtungsweise des Werkstoff als homogenes Kontinuum ausgeht, berücksichtigt der in dieser Arbeit verfolgte, methodische Ansatz den inhomogenen Materialaufbau aus verschiedenen Werkstoffphasen. Die Auslegung von Faserverbundbauteilen hinsichtlich ...

Pathogenic Mutations in Catalytic Subunit Isoforms of the cAMP-Dependent Protein Kinase
(2023)
Protein kinase A (PKA) is an integral part in a myriad of cellular pathways and a main effector of the second messenger cAMP. Since its discovery in the late 1960s, PKA has become one of the best-studied eukaryotic protein kinases in terms of enzymatic and structural features. Pathological implications of PKA have just started to emerge. There are three main isoforms (α, β, γ) of the catalytic subunit of PKA (PKA-C) which constitute a holoenzyme (R2C2) by association with a regulatory subunit (PKA-R) dimer. While ...

Orometry, Intrinsic Dimensionality and Learning: Novel Insights into Network Data
(2023-11)
Today, networks are an integral part of our world. Let it be real-life friendship networks or social connections that are based on social media. In this thesis, we contribute to the understanding of networks by studying networks from three different perspectives. First, we adapt notions and concepts from orometry to metric data and networks to gain novel insights from a local perspective. Specifically, we study measures of local outstandingness and propose concepts to derive small hierarchies from larger networks. ...

Management effects on soil microbial functions at a South-Indian rural-urban interface
(2023-06)
Urbanization leads to effects on many aspects of ecosystems and societies. Among the affected are agricultural systems and, specifically, soils. One of the most evident pathways of urbanization effects on agricultural soils is through an increased demand for agricultural commodities requiring agricultural intensification, hence, changes in management practices that alter soils.
In this context, the purpose of this study was to understand how the main agricultural management practices taking place in urbanizing ...
