Functional characterization of disease-associated mutations in type I cGMP-dependent protein kinase
(2022-08)
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, and while mainly associated with behavioral risk factors, they can also be linked to genetic disorders. The cGMP-dependent protein kinase type I (PKG I) plays a pivotal role in the homeostasis of the vasculature by mediating NO/cGMP-dependent relaxation of vascular smooth muscle cells. A recently described genetic risk factor associated with PKG I results in heritable thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections (TAAD). Although PKG isoforms Iα and Iβ ...

Optical amplification and stability of spiroquaterphenyl compounds and blends
(2015)
In this contribution, we present a systematic investigation on a series of piroquaterphenyl compounds optimised for solid state lasing in the near ultraviolet (UV). Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) thresholds in the order of 1 μJ/cm2 are obtained in neat (undiluted) films and blends, with emission peaks at 390 1 nm for unsubstituted and meta-substituted quaterphenyls and 400 4 nm for para-ether substituted quaterphenyls. Mixing with a transparent matrix retains a low threshold, shifts the emission to lower ...

Darstellung, Eigenschaften und Reaktivität phosphorreicher Ferrocenophane
(2022-05)
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde ein präparativer Zugang zu phosphorreichen Ferrocenophanen entwickelt, die Substituenten mit variierenden sterischen und elektronischen Eigenschaften tra-gen und die Reaktivität dieser gegenüber Elektrophilen untersucht.
Die Reaktivitätsuntersuchungen des als Modellverbindung ausgewählten Diphospha-[2]fer-rocenophans L6a gegenüber Elektrophilen haben gezeigt, dass sowohl ein als auch beide Phos-phoratome selektiv, durch stöchiometrische Kontrolle mit Monoboran oder unterschiedlichen ...

Propagation and branching strategies for job shop scheduling minimizing the weighted energy consumption
(2023)
We consider a job shop scheduling problem with time windows, flexible energy prices, and machines whose energy consumption depends on their operational state (offline, ramp-up, setup, processing, standby or ramp-down). The goal is to find a valid schedule that minimizes the overall energy cost. To solve this problem to optimality, we developed a branch-and-bound algorithm based on a time-indexed integer linear programming (ILP) formulation, which uses binary variables that describe blocks spanning multiple inactive ...

Identifying critical demand periods in capacity planning for networks including storage
(2023)
We consider a capacity planning problem for networks including storage. Given a graph and a time series of demands and supplies, we seek for integer link and storage capacities that permit a single commodity flow with valid storage in- and outtakes over all time steps. This problem arises, for example, in power systems planning, where storage can be used to buffer peaks of varying supplies and demands. For typical time series spanning a full year at hourly resolution, this leads to huge optimization models. To reduce ...

The anatomy of velvet worms (Onychophora) as revealed by a multimethodological approach and three-dimensional reconstructions
(2024)
Onychophorans, or velvet worms, comprise a small group of worm-like, multi-legged terrestrial invertebrates. Since their discovery in 1826, these organisms have been investigated from different perspectives, particularly in the field of morphology—a discipline that provides the basis for functional and evolutionary inferences. Onychophorans are currently classified within Ecdysozoa (moulting animals) and form together with Tardigrada (water bears) and Arthropoda a clade named Panarthropoda. Therefore, onychophorans ...
