Algorithmic Reduction of Biochemical Reaction Networks
(2022-02-25)
The dynamics of species concentrations of chemical reaction networks are given by autonomous first-order ordinary differential equations. Singular perturbation methods allow the computation of approximate reduced systems that make explicit several time scales with corresponding invariant manifolds. This thesis presents:
1. An algorithmic approach for the computation of such reductions on solid analytical grounds. Required scalings are derived using tropical geometry. The existence of invariant manifolds is subject ...

The Importance of tRNA Modification and SSD1 Status for Protein Homeostasis and Cell Viability
(2022-03)
Chemical modifications of anticodon loop are required to support tRNA function in mRNA decoding and to prevent protein aggregation in the eukaryotic model system Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This work investigates the effects of mutation in the gene encoding the Deg1 pseudouridine synthase. It is known that the mutation of the human DEG1 orthologue PUS3 causes severe neurological and developmental defects, emphasizing the general importance of the modification. However, the exact cellular consequences of deg1/pus3mutation ...

Exploring risk and sustainability performance in base of the pyramid supply chains
(2022-07)
In the contemporary business world, the real competition is not among individual businesses but rather between supply chains. Companies, which are part of efficient supply chains, are considered destined to outperform their competitors being part of inefficient supply chains. Moreover, performance has been a matter of concern for researchers for decades and is the primary aim of any firm’s existence. The definition of performance includes the performance measurement (PM) concept and further supports the notion that ...

Regulatorische und systembedingte Barrieren im Bereich Nachhaltige Geldanlagen in der Anlageberatung im Retail Banking
(2022-07-29)
Der vorliegende Forschungsbericht analysiert die Auswirkungen von MiFID II sowie die Um-setzung der vierten Maßnahme „Berücksichtigung der Nachhaltigkeit in der Anlageberatung“ des EU Aktionsplans. Ziel ist es, ein tieferes Verständnis über die Auswirkungen der Integration der Abfrage der Nachhaltigkeitspräferenz sowie den potentiellen Barrieren, die auf Seiten der Anlageberater aus diesem regulatorischen Eingriff resultieren, aufzubauen. Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage wurden mit 30 Anlageberatern semi-strukturierte ...

Striking for the Common Good
(2022-08)
The re-emergence of massive strikes in the public education sector, predominantly in the more conservative, union-weak American South, has brought seismic change to the industry and its workers. Solving the puzzle as to why these strikes were so successful against massive obstacles could beget better methods for organizing strikes in a period when neo-liberal reforms threaten public services around the world. Furthermore, an understanding of why these strikes were successful can contribute to the contemporary discourse ...

Effiziente Erdgasbereitstellung mit erneuerbaren Energien
(2022-07)
Gas-Druckregel- und Messanlagen (GDRMA) nehmen für den Erdgastransport eine wichtige Rolle als Übergabestellen zwischen den Netzabschnitten ein. Bei der Druckreduktion kommt es infolge des Joule-Thomson-Effektes zu einer Abkühlung, wodurch die Anlagentechnik vereisen und die Gasversorgung gefährdet sein kann. Um diesen gestörten Betrieb zu vermeiden, wird das Erdgas im Vorfeld der Entspannung erwärmt. Dabei fällt der damit einhergehende Wärmebedarf auf einem für erneuerbare Energieanwendungen hervorragendem ...

Analysis of near-substrate magnetic particle transport for Lab-on-a-chip applications: stray field modulations, influence of particle properties and three-dimensional trajectories
(2022)
Die Entwicklung schneller und zuverlässiger Diagnostik ist ein wichtiges Ziel für die Früherkennung von Krankheiten. Standardisierte Labormethoden sind heutzutage meist langsam und mit hohen Kosten verbunden. Innerhalb der Lab-on-a-chip (LOC)-Technologie kann der Nachweis eines pathogenen Organismus auf die Größe eines kleinen Chips miniaturisiert werden, indem magnetische Partikel als Fängerobjekte integriert werden. Die Kombination einer statischen Magnetfeldlandschaft (MFL) mit zeitlich variierenden externen ...

Consistency and Computation
(2022)
The diagonal arguments by Cantor, Gödel and Turing constitute fundamental results that demonstrate limits to what is mathematically possible. These results can easily appear to us as limits that must hold, as if they were laws of nature that govern the ideal world of platonic numbers and logic, giving them an “ultraphysical” appearance of rigidity and hardness.
In all three cases, Wittgenstein critically examines the formal ideal of consistency and points out that the conclusions of the diagonal arguments only seem ...

Farmers’ attitudes and perceptions of adoption of agricultural innovations in Kenya: a mixed methods analysis
(2022-08-20)
Attitudes and perceptions are key constructs in decision making. Their nature and influence on agricultural technology adoption among smallholder farmers in Kenya has not been adequately researched. The research applied a mixed methods approach to assess the influence of attitudes and perceptions in adoption of agricultural innovations by smallholder farmers in Kenya. The quantitative phase used a survey (n=245) while the qualitative consisted of focus groups (n=28) to elicit subjective farmer views of innovations. ...
