Investigation of the stress tolerance regulatory network integration of the NAC transcription factor JUNGBRUNNEN1 (JUB1)
The NAC transcription factor (TF) JUNGBRUNNEN1 (JUB1) is an important negative regulator of plant senescence, as well as of gibberellic acid (GA) and brassinosteroid (BR) biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana. Overexpression of JUB1 promotes longevity and enhances tolerance to drought and other abiotic stresses. A similar role of JUB1 has been observed in other plant species, including tomato and banana. Our data show that JUB1 overexpressors (JUB1-OXs) accumulate higher levels of proline than WT plants under control conditions, during the onset of drought stress, and thereafter. We identified that overexpression of JUB1 induces key proline biosynthesis and suppresses key proline degradation genes. Furthermore, bZIP63, the transcription factor involved in proline metabolism, was identified as a novel downstream target of JUB1 by Yeast One-Hybrid (Y1H) analysis and Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). However, based on Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA), direct binding of JUB1 to bZIP63 could not be confirmed. Our data ...

Political economy and economic impacts of climate policy : a qualitative analysis of international emissions trading and environmental taxation
This thesis presents a political economy analysis and an economic impact assessment of climate change policy. It shows that the design of market-based instruments of climate policy can be explained by the behavior of environmental regulators who maximize their political support. The consideration of preferences of sectoral interest groups in regulatory decisions can induce economic inefficiencies in terms of a sectoral differentiation of environmental taxes or an asymmetric allocation of tradable emissions permits to parts of the economy. In turn, the design of climate policy instruments plays a decisive role for the associated economic impacts. The thesis shows that the economic benefits of linking domestic emissions trading schemes of industrialized nations depend on the sectoral scope of these schemes and the stringency of allowance allocation. Establishing regional flexibility of emissions reductions, e.g. via the access to carbon abatement options in developing countries, further improves the prospects for a cost-efficient and ambitious implementation of future climate policy. <engl.> Die vorliegende Dissertation analysiert die politische Ökonomie und die ökonomischen Auswirkungen der Klimapolitik. Die Arbeit zeigt, dass die Ausgestaltung marktbasierter Instrumente des Klimaschutzes durch das Verhalten von politischen Entscheidungsträgern begründet werden kann, die ihre politische Unterstützung maximieren. So kann die Berücksichtigung von Präferenzen sektoraler Interessengruppen in klimapolitischen Entscheidungen ökonomische Ineffizienzen verursachen, die sich etwa in einer sektoralen Differenzierung von Umweltsteuern oder einer asymmetrischen Ausstattung von Teilbereichen der Volkswirtschaft mit handelbaren Emissionsrechten äußern. Die Dissertation zeigt ferner, dass der ökonomische Nutzen einer internationalen Verknüpfung von Emissionshandelssystemen von deren sektoraler Abdeckung sowie der Stringenz der Zuteilung von Emissionsrechten abhängt. Die Ermöglichung regional flexibler Emissionsreduktionen, etwa durch den Zugang zu Vermeidungsoptionen in Entwicklungsländern, verbessert zudem die Aussichten für eine kosteneffiziente und ambitionierte zukünftige Klimapolitik substantiell. <dt.>

Koordinationschemische Untersuchungen zur syndiotaktischen Polymerisation von Styrol
Metallocenes are extremely important in wide areas of organic metal chemistry. Further studies have contributed to the development of the syndiotactic polymerisation of styrol by using these homogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalysts. Within the context of this research, new catalysts have been developed for the extraction of syndiotactic styrol. Additionally, particular attention was paid to space filling ligands of the cyclopentadienyl class as well as cyclopentadienyl-free complexes. As an alternative to cyclopentadienyl, bulky alkylamides have been considered which are well-known for their steric and electronic qualities and for being comparable with metallocenderivates. In a further section, the function of octahydrofluorenyltitan complexes are discussed and their changes in catalytic behavior examined. Within the scope of this thesis numerous of new bulky alkyltitanamides have been manufactured and extensively characterized. All titanium complexes tested were found to be suitable for the syndiotactic polymerisation of styrol. <engl.> Metallocenverbindungen bestimmen weite Bereiche der metallorganischen Chemie. Weiterführende Arbeiten haben zur Entwicklung eines Verfahrens zur syndiotaktischen Polymerisation von Styrol unter Verwendung von diesen homogenen Ziegler-Natta-Katalysatoren beigetragen. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden neuartige Katalysatoren zur Gewinnung von syndiotaktischem Styrol entwickelt. Dazu wurden einerseits besonders raumfüllende Liganden vom Cyclopentadienyltyp, aber auch cyclopentadienylfreie Komplexe untersucht. Als Cyclopentadienylalternativen boten sich dazu u. a. sperrige Alkylamide an, von denen bekannt ist, dass diese sterische und elektronische Eigenschaften besitzen, die mit Metallocenderivaten vergleichbar sind. In einem weiteren Teilbereich wurden Mono-eta5-octahydrofluorenyltitankomplexe funktionalisiert und die Änderungen katalytischen Verhalten untersucht. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden zahlreiche neuartige sperrige Alkyltitanamide dargestellt und umfassend charakterisiert. Alle getesteten Titankomplexe zeigten ihre Fähigkeit zur syndiotaktischen Polymerisation von Styrol. <dt.>

Morphologie, Perkolations- und mechanisches Verhalten von schmelzegemischten isotaktischen Polypropylen-basierten/MWCNT-Kompositen
Carbon nanotubes; isotactic polypropylene; nanocomposite; compression moulding; injection moulding; morphology; dispersion; percolation; mechanical behaviour; reinforcement In the presented work the effect of the structure of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as well as the processing conditions during compression and injection moulding on the morphology, percolation and mechanical behaviour of isotactic polypropylene-based/MWCNT composites was investigated. Melt mixed composites are composed of different MWCNT materials (0-5 wt.%) and a maleic anhydride-modified isotactic polypropylene (iPP-MA) matrix. MWCNT modification included ball milling and reactive ball milling of the as-synthesised MWCNT material. Structure-property-relations were studied by means of spectroscopic and microscopic methods, X-ray scattering, thermal analysis, tensile testing, and modelling of the MWCNT reinforcement effect. Percolation thresholds and reinforcement efficiency of the MWCNT materials originated from their different length and primary agglomerate structure. The crystalline morphology of the iPP-MA resulting from the incorporated MWCNTs and the applied processing conditions dominated the isotropic and anisotropic mechanical behaviour of the composites. Furthermore, the state of MWCNT macroscale dispersion stemmed from the size of their primary agglomerates and determined the ductility of the composites, whereas the stiffness was influenced by the MWCNT structure. In summary, it was shown that the MWCNT structure as well as the conditions during composite processing significantly determined the structure-property-relations in the iPP-MA/MWCNT composites. Kohlenstoffnanoröhren; Isotaktisches Polypropylen; Nanokomposit; Heißpressen; Spritzgießen; Morphologie; Dispergierung; Perkolation; Mechanisches Verhalten; Verstärkung Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Einfluss der Struktur mehrwandiger Kohlenstoffnanoröhren (MWCNTs) sowie den Prozessbedingungen während des Heißpressens und Spritzgießens auf die Morphologie, das Perkolations- und mechanische Verhalten von isotaktischen Polypropylen-basierten/MWCNT-Kompositen. Komposite wurden auf der Basis von Maleinsäureanhydrid-modifiziertem isotaktischen Polypropylen (iPP-MSA) mit drei verschiedenen MWCNT-Materialien (0-5 Gew.%) schmelzegemischt. Die MWCNT-Modifizierung umfasste Kugelmahlen und reaktives Kugelmahlen des MWCNT-Ausgangsmaterials. Struktur-Eigenschafts-Beziehungen wurden mittels spektroskopischen und mikroskopischen Methoden, Röntgenstreuung, thermischer Analyse, Zugversuchen und Modellierung der Verstärkungswirkung der MWCNTs untersucht. Die Perkolationsschwellen und Verstärkungswirkung der MWCNTs rühren aus deren unterschiedlicher Länge und Primäragglomeratstruktur her. Die kristalline Morphologie des iPP-MSAs resultierte aus der Zugabe der MWCNTs und den angewandten Prozessbedingungen; sie dominierte das isotrope und anisotrope mechanische Verhalten der Komposite. Der makroskalige MWCNT-Dispergierzustand ergab sich aus der Größe ihrer Primäragglomerate und bestimmte die Duktilität der Komposite, wohingegen die Steifigkeit vordergründig von der MWCNT-Struktur abhing. Es wurde gezeigt, dass die MWCNT-Struktur sowie die Bedingungen während der Kompositverarbeitung die Struktur-Eigenschafts-Beziehungen der iPP-MSA/MWCNT-Komposite maßgeblich beeinflussen.

Embodying the Vedas : traditional Vedic schools of contemporary Maharashtra
Popularly Hinduism is believed to be the world’s oldest living religion. This claim is based on a continuous reverence to the oldest strata of religious authority within the Hindu traditions, the Vedic corpus, which began to be composed more than three thousand years ago, around 1750–1200 BCE. The Vedas have been considered by many as the philosophical cornerstone of the Brahmanical traditions (āstika); even previous to the colonial construction of the concept of “Hinduism.” However, what can be pieced together from the Vedic texts is very different from contemporary Hindu religious practices, beliefs, social norms and political realities. This book presents the results of a study of the traditional education and training of Brahmins through the traditional system of education called gurukula as observed in 25 contemporary Vedic schools across the state of Maharasthra. This system of education aims to teach Brahmin males how to properly recite, memorize and ultimately embody the Veda. This book combines insights from ethnographic and textual analysis to unravel how the recitation of the Vedic texts and the Vedic traditions, as well as the identity of the traditional Brahmin in general, are transmitted from one generation to the next in contemporary India

Algorithm selection, scheduling and configuration of Boolean constraint solvers
Boolean constraint solving technology has made tremendous progress over the last decade, leading to industrial-strength solvers, for example, in the areas of answer set programming (ASP), the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), propositional satisfiability (SAT) and satisfiability of quantified Boolean formulas (QBF). However, in all these areas, there exist multiple solving strategies that work well on different applications; no strategy dominates all other strategies. Therefore, no individual solver shows robust state-of-the-art performance in all kinds of applications. Additionally, the question arises how to choose a well-performing solving strategy for a given application; this is a challenging question even for solver and domain experts. One way to address this issue is the use of portfolio solvers, that is, a set of different solvers or solver configurations. We present three new automatic portfolio methods: (i) automatic construction of parallel portfolio solvers (ACPP) via algorithm configuration,(ii) solving the $NP$-hard…

Thermodynamic and geochemical modeling in metamorphic geology
Quantitative thermodynamic and geochemical modeling is today applied in a variety of geological environments from the petrogenesis of igneous rocks to the oceanic realm. Thermodynamic calculations are used, for example, to get better insight into lithosphere dynamics, to constrain melting processes in crust and mantle as well as to study fluid-rock interaction. The development of thermodynamic databases and computer programs to calculate equilibrium phase diagrams have greatly advanced our ability to model geodynamic processes from subduction to orogenesis. However, a well-known problem is that despite its broad application the use and interpretation of thermodynamic models applied to natural rocks is far from straightforward. For example, chemical disequilibrium and/or unknown rock properties, such as fluid activities, complicate the application of equilibrium thermodynamics. One major aspect of the publications presented in this Habilitationsschrift are new approaches to unravel dynamic and chemical histories of rocks that include…

Scottish unionist ideology 1886-1965 : political thought, ecclesiology and historiography
This monograph examines Scottish unionist political thought and intellectual history in the period from 1885/1886 to 1965. It provides an analytical examination of unionist positions, examining such areas as political history, ecclesiology, sectarianism, historiography and unionist–nationalist sentiment. It contextualises unionist thought within Scotland's history and offers findings based on both archival and primary sources research along with a thorough background of historiography. It both contextualises and examines the complexities of Scottish unionism during this vital period between the Liberal Party's split over Irish Home Rule until the reorganisation of the Scottish Unionist Party in 1965. The monograph offers a detailed study of unionism at a time of rising nationalist separatism within Scotland. It provides an analysis of the constitutional framework within Scotland for co-partnership within a larger British state. It illuminates the spectrum of unionist discourse during this period and demonstrates the complexities of Scotland's constitutional and cultural relationship with the rest of the United Kingdom. Dr. Jonathan M. Wales studied European intellectual history at the University of St. Andrews and teaches at Providence College in Providence, Rhode Island. Diese Monografie untersucht das politische Denken und die geistesgeschichtliche Entwicklung der schottischen Unionisten in der Zeit von 1885/1886 bis 1965. Sie bietet eine analytische Untersuchung der unionistischen Positionen, wobei Bereiche wie politische Geschichte, Ekklesiologie, Sektierertum, Geschichtsschreibung und unionistisch-nationalistische Gefühle untersucht werden. Der Autor kontextualisiert das unionistische Denken innerhalb der Geschichte Schottlands und bietet Erkenntnisse, die sowohl auf Archiv- und Primärquellenforschung als auch auf einem gründlichen historiographischen Hintergrund beruhen. Er untersucht die Komplexität des schottischen Unionismus in dieser entscheidenden Phase zwischen der Spaltung der Liberalen Partei über die Irish Home Rule bis zur Reorganisation der Scottish Unionist Party im Jahr 1965. Anhand des unionistischen Diskurses in dieser Zeit zeigt er die Komplexität der verfassungsrechtlichen und kulturellen Beziehungen Schottlands mit dem Rest des Vereinigten Königreichs auf.

Le droit d’accès au juge civil au Burundi : approche juridico-institutionnelle
From an institutional point of view, Burundi's state courts and tribunals have a monopoly on administering civil justice through binding decisions. This work examines from a legal and institutional perspective the extent to which the Burundian legal framework meets the requirements of international guarantees for the effectiveness of access rights to civil courts and tribunals. These guarantees are enshrined, inter alia, in Article 14.1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and in Articles 7.1.a) and 26 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. Beyond the strictly legal approach, the work analyses, from a socio-anthropological perspective, factors which in Burundi influence the effectiveness of the right of access to civil courts and tribunals beyond the quality of the legal infrastructure. Aus institutioneller Sicht wird den staatlichen Gerichten und Tribunalen in Burundi das Monopol zugeschrieben, die Ziviljustiz durch verbindliche Entscheidungen zu verwalten. Das Werk untersucht aus rechtlicher und institutioneller Sicht, inwieweit der burundische Rechtsrahmen den Anforderungen internationaler Garantien für die Wirksamkeit der Zugangsrechte zu Zivilgerichten und Tribunalen entspricht. Diese Garantien sind unter anderem in Artikel 14.1 des Internationalen Pakts über bürgerliche und politische Rechte und in den Artikeln 7.1.a) und 26 der Afrikanischen Charta der Menschenrechte und Rechte der Völker verankert. Über den streng juristischen Ansatz hinaus analysiert die Arbeit aus einer sozio-anthropologischen Perspektive Faktoren, die in Burundi über die Qualität der rechtlichen Infrastruktur hinaus die Wirksamkeit des Rechts auf Zugang zu Zivilgerichten und Gerichtshöfen beeinflussen.

Development of cryogenic light detectors with Neganov-Luke amplification for the dark matter experiments CRESST and EURECA
The CRESST (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers) experiment aims at the direct detection of particle Dark Matter using the phonon-light technique, i.e., the simultaneous measurement of the phonons and the scintillation light induced in a CaWO4 crystal at mK temperatures. For an efficient background suppression very sensitive light detectors are needed. The energy threshold of the light channel has been improved by a factor of ~10 due to the Neganov-Luke effect, i.e., by drifting the light-induced electron-hole pairs in the silicon light absorber by an applied electric field. It is shown that the discrimination between electron and nuclear recoils is significantly improved in this way.

Measuring childrenʹs sensitivity to phonological detail using eye tracking and pupillometry
Infants' lexical processing is modulated by featural manipulations made to words, suggesting that early lexical representations are sufficiently specified to establish a match with the corresponding label. However, the precise degree of detail in early words requires further investigation due to equivocal findings. We studied this question by assessing children’s sensitivity to the degree of featural manipulation (Chapters 2 and 3), and sensitivity to the featural makeup of homorganic and heterorganic consonant clusters (Chapter 4). Gradient sensitivity on the one hand and sensitivity to homorganicity on the other hand would suggest that lexical processing makes use of sub-phonemic information, which in turn would indicate that early words contain sub-phonemic detail. The studies presented in this thesis assess children’s sensitivity to sub-phonemic detail using minimally demanding online paradigms suitable for infants: single-picture pupillometry and intermodal preferential looking. Such paradigms have the potential to uncover lexica…

Price effects from the financialization of agricultural commodity markets
Supposed portfolio benefits of commodities and the increased availability of commodity linked investment products such as index funds contribute to a financialization of agricultural commodity markets. The parallel increase in price levels and short-term volatility for almost all major agricultural commodities and a growth in trading volume on their derivative markets triggered a debate about the underlying causal linkage. In particular, financial “index trading”, i.e. taking long positions in the futures markets and rolling these forward, has been suspected to inflate prices above fundamentally justifiable levels by creating artificial demand on the futures markets. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the price effects from the financialization of agricultural commodity markets, specifically focusing on (i) the robustness and interpretability of findings from previous empirical studies on direct price effects of index trading; (ii) volatility linkages between agricultural commodity and financial asset markets as a result of financial portfolio strategies; and (iii) direct price level or volatility effects on single agricultural commodity markets from portfolio inclusion of commodity index funds.

Synthesis of side-chain polystyrenes for all organic solution processed OLEDs
In the present work side-chain polystyrenes were synthesized and characterized, in order to be applied in multilayer OLEDs fabricated by solution process techniques. Manufacture of optoelectronic devices by solution process techniques is meant to decrease significantly fabrication cost and allow large scale production of such devices. This dissertation focusses in three series, enveloped in two material classes. The two classes differ to each other in the type of charge transport exhibited, either ambipolar transport or electron transport. All materials were applied in all-organic solution processed green Ir-based devices. In the first part, a series of ambipolar host materials were developed to transport both charge types, holes and electrons, and be applied especially as matrix for green Ir-based emitters. It was possible to increase devices efficacy by modulating the predominant charge transport type. This was achieved by modification of molecules electron transport part with more electron-deficient heterocycles or by…

The weight of respect : Khündlekh Yos - frames of reference, governmental agendas and ethical formations in modern Mongolia
respect, recognition, subject-formation, institutionalization, popularization, crisis, freedom, knowledge, historiography The dissertation is based on ethnographic and archival research conducted in Mongolia in 2013/14. It pursues a frame of reference for respect based on present discourses, which refer to the socialist and late Qing past. The thesis shows how master-disciple, senior-junior and filial relationships are projected onto each other and became a model for governing relations. It analyzes respect by looking at moralized discourse and subtle violence in juxtaposition, while exploring how respect was institutionalized and historiographically intentionalized. The author discusses respect by looking at processes of popularization and takes a historically and culturally comparative view. She traces thought historical entanglements, explores political agendas, the interdependency of moral and economic crises in relation to respect and questions universal approaches towards subject-formation. The thesis looks at the interrelationship between the governing of political subjects and the ethical self-formation. Die Dissertation beruht auf einer ethnographischen und Archivforschung des Jahres 2013/2014 in der Mongolei. Sie verfolgt einen Referenzrahmen von Respekt, der sich auf gegenwärtige Diskurse stützt, welche auf die sozialistische und späte Qingzeitliche Vergangenheit verweisen. Die Arbeit zeigt wie Lehrer-Schüler, Senior-Junior und Eltern-Kindbeziehungen aufeinander projiziert werden und als Vorlage für Herrschaftsbeziehungen dienen. Sie analysiert Respekt indem sie moralisierende Diskurse und unterschwelige Gewalt einander gegenüberstellt, während sie erörtert wie Respekt institutionalisiert und historiographisch intendiert wurde. Die Autorin zeichnet Prozesse der Popularisierung von Respekt nach und verfolgt einen kulturell und historisch vergleichenden Ansatz. Sie geht ideengeschichtlichen Verflechtungen nach, leuchtet politische Agenda aus, zeigt die Wechselwirkungen von moralischen und ökonomischen Krisen in Bezug auf Respekt und hinterfragt universelle Ansätze zur Subjektformierung. Die Arbeit behandelt den Zusammenhang zwischen der Beherrschung von politischen Subjekten und der ethischen Selbstformierung.

Identification and reduction of losses in perovskite solar cells
Perovskite solar cells have become one of the most studied systems in the quest for new, cheap and efficient solar cell materials. Within a decade device efficiencies have risen to >25% in single-junction and >29% in tandem devices on top of silicon. This rapid improvement was in many ways fortunate, as e. g. the energy levels of commonly used halide perovskites are compatible with already existing materials from other photovoltaic technologies such as dye-sensitized or organic solar cells. Despite this rapid success, fundamental working principles must be understood to allow concerted further improvements. This thesis focuses on a comprehensive understanding of recombination processes in functioning devices. First the impact the energy level alignment between the perovskite and the electron transport layer based on fullerenes is investigated. This controversial topic is comprehensively addressed and recombination is mitigated through reducing the energy difference between the perovskite conduction band minimum and the LUMO of the ...

Characterization of von Willebrand disease during pregnancy in a porcine model
Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder in humans, characterized by aberrations of von Willebrand factor (VWF). Patients show symptoms due to reduced blood coagulation. VWD was also related to angiodysplasia and increased miscarriage rates with unknown cause. This study characterizes a porcine model for VWD type 1 (V1) and 3 (V3) regarding expression and distribution of angiogenic mediators in the female reproductive tract of non-pregnant and pregnant sows at placentation. Histology of uteri, oviducts, ovaries and placentae was investigated as well as gene and protein expression of the following angiogenic mediators: VWF, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), integrin αVβ3, angiopoietin (Ang)-1 and -2 and tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin and epidermal growth factor homology domains (Tie)-1 and Tie-2. Angiodysplasia was found in the uteri of both non-pregnant V3 animals. VEGF gene expression was increased in the uteri and placentae of affected animals. VEGFR-2 expression was reduced in uteri and placentae of pregnant V1 sows. This implicates increased pro-angiogenic influence of VEGF, maybe prevented in the uteroplacental unit. A shift of integrin αVβ3 from the apical membrane of uterine epithelial cells to the cytoplasm in VWD animals was found. In placentae of V1 animals, ITGB3 gene and integrin αVβ3 protein expression were reduced, maybe affecting blood vessels and implantation. Increased ITGAV gene expression in ovaries points to involvement of both subunits. Ratios of components of the ANG/TIE system differed and immunohistochemistry results for Ang-2 revealed varying staining patterns among genotypes. Lower Ang-2 expression in V1 placentae may lead to insufficient angiogenic signaling, pointing to tissue specific influence of VWF on Ang-2. These results make those animals a promising model to further investigate the influence of VWF on angiogenesis in the female reproductive tract in vivo.

Analysis of Teukolsky equations on slowly rotating Kerr spacetimes
In this thesis, we treat the extreme Newman-Penrose components of both the Maxwell field (s=±1) and the linearized gravitational perturbations (or "linearized gravity" for short) (s=±2) in the exterior of a slowly rotating Kerr black hole. Upon different rescalings, we can obtain spin s components which satisfy the separable Teukolsky master equation (TME). For each of these spin s components defined in Kinnersley tetrad, the resulting equations by performing some first-order differential operator on it once and twice (twice only for s=±2), together with the TME, are in the form of an "inhomogeneous spin-weighted wave equation" (ISWWE) with different potentials and constitute a linear spin-weighted wave system. We then prove energy and integrated local energy decay (Morawetz) estimates for this type of ISWWE, and utilize them to achieve both a uniform bound of a positive definite energy and a Morawetz estimate for the regular extreme Newman-Penrose components defined in the regular Hawking-Hartle tetrad. We also present some brief discussions on mode stability for TME for the case of real frequencies. This says that in a fixed subextremal Kerr spacetime, there is no nontrivial separated mode solutions to TME which are purely ingoing at horizon and purely outgoing at infinity. This yields a representation formula for solutions to inhomogeneous Teukolsky equations, and will play a crucial role in generalizing the above energy and Morawetz estimates results to the full subextremal Kerr case.

Studien zum Beitrag des "Primary and Elementary Métis Awareness (PEMA) Program" zum lernertypengerechten Englischunterricht in der Sekundarstufe I des Gymnasiums
Learning style, learning type or intelligence type are frequent terms within the pedagogical discourse of assisting students individually and developing their abilities effectively. Different models and theories are examined (Vester 1975, Allinson/ Hayes 1996, Vermunt 1992, Herrmann 1989, Gardner 1982) as well as approaches that can be related to topics such as holistic learning and emotional intelligence. Brain research (Spitzer 2005, Schachl 2005) also provides conditions for successful learning. A study of curricula proves that learning according to individual learning types and needs is required across the German federal states. Applying measurements that can be attributed to Armstrong (1994)/ Gardner (1982, theory of multiple intelligences) the contribution of the "Primary and Elementary Métis Awareness Program" (Inkster 2006) to learning in accordance to different learning types is examined. Quantitative and qualitative research methods are combined in this study to enable a comprehensive analysis. The results offer evidence that the program created by Rene Inkster (Canadian indigenous educator, artist, elder, author) offers learning materials for different learning types.

Strafrechtliche Aufarbeitung der Finanzkrise
The financial crisis has caused discussion all over the world and led to the call for decision makers to be punished. This thesis discusses the validity of that call by explaining the relevance of the financial instruments needed for any such analysis, by examining all the aspects of the law that could be applied in this case which relate to the financial crisis – especially the criminal offence of breach of trust – and then by disclosing any loopholes in criminal liability. In a next step, the author presents the German legislative body’s reaction to the crisis and reveals how it was insufficient. The clear need for punishment leads the author to suggest a new legal norm which could close the aforementioned loopholes. Die Finanzkrise hat weltweit hohe Wellen geschlagen und den Ruf nach Strafbarkeit der Entscheidungsträger hervorgebracht. Die Arbeit geht diesem Ruf nach und legt zunächst die notwendigen Grundlagen zum Verständnis der relevanten Finanzinstrumente. Hierauf aufbauend wird anschließend das geltende Recht - namentlich insbesondere der Untreuetatbestand des § 266 StGB - einer eingehenden Analyse unterzogen und es werden bestehende Sanktionslücken aufgezeigt. In einem nächsten Schritt widmet sich der Autor den bisherigen Reaktionen des Gesetzgebers auf die Finanzkrise und stellt heraus, dass diese aufgrund des bestehenden Strafbedürfnisses nicht ausreichen. Dies führt schließlich zum Vorschlag einer neuen Strafnorm im Kreditwesengesetz, die die aufgezeigten Lücken schließen soll.

Performing interpersonal violence court, curse, and comedy in fourth-century BCE Athens
V. ConclusionsChronological Development of the Violence Discourse in Different Genres -- Three Theses on Athenian Violence -- Controlling Function of Ritualization -- Social Origins of Perpetrators of Violence -- A State Monopoly on Violence? -- Outlook on Violence in Athenian Foreign Policy -- VI. References -- 1. Corpora of Athenian Curse Tablets -- 2. Abbreviated Works -- 3. English Translations -- 4. Secondary Literature -- Index locorum -- Literary Sources -- Inscriptions -- Papyri -- Iconographical Sources -- General Index -- Important Greek and Latin terms -- Ancient proper names (historical and fictional persons) This book offers the first attempt at understanding interpersonal violence in ancient Athens. While the archaic desire for revenge persisted into the classical period, it was channeled by the civil discourse of the democracy. Forensic speeches, curse tablets, and comedy display a remarkable openness regarding the definition of violence. But in daily life, Athenians had to draw the line between acceptable and unacceptable behavior. They did so by enacting a discourse on violence in the performance of these genres, during which complex negotiations about the legitimacy of violence took place. Performances such as the staging of trials and comedies ritually defined the meaning of violence and its appropriate application. Speeches and curse tablets not only spoke about violence, but also exacted it in a mediated form, deriving its legitimate use from a democratic principle, the communal decision of the human jurors in the first case and the underworld gods in the second. Since discourse and reality were intertwined and the discourse was ritualized, actual violence might also have been partly ritualized. By still respecting the on-going desire to harm ones enemy, this partial ritualization of violence helped restrain violence and thus contributed to Athens relative stability

A highly stereoselective recombinant alcohol dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas fluorescens DSM50106 : biochemical characterization, substrate specificity, enantioselectivity, and new flow-through-polarimetry-based dehydrogenase activity assay
The alcohol dehydrogenase was biochemically characterized. A broad range of arylaliphatic ketones is efficiently reduced to the corresponding optically active (R)-alcohols by a recombinant alcohol dehydrogenase (PF-ADH) produced by overexpression in 'Escherichia coli'. PF-ADH shows high activity and stereoselectivity in the reduction of acetophenone and various derivatives (45-99%), as well as in the reduction of 3-oxy-butyric acid methyl ester and 3-oxy-butyric acid methyl ester and 3-oxy-hexanoic acid ethyl ester (>99%). The highest activity was observed between 10 and 20ʿC. The copfactor NADH can be efficiently recycled by the addition of 10-20% of iso-propanol. A flow-through-polarimetry-based assay to determine oxidoreductase activity and stereoselectivity is described.

Damage tolerance of high-performance composites
High-performance composite laminates are structural materials that combine low density with high stiffness and strength. High safety and reliability requirements for structural parts require the consideration and detailed knowledge about damage tolerance of materials and structures. The multi-scale nature of composites results in the occurrence of different failure modes and a complex failure behaviour where matrix failure at the micro-level influences the failure process at all higher observation levels. Consequently, the occurring matrix damage has a decisive influence on the damage tolerance. The research hypothesis of this thesis is: Understanding and adapting the matrix's damage behaviour is fundamental to improving the damage tolerance of high-performance composites. To adapt the matrix's damage behaviour, carbon-fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) with a few-layer graphene (FLG) modified matrix with layer thicknesses varying from ultra-thin-ply (28 μm / 30 g/m2) to thick-ply (220 μm / 240 g/m2) were investigated. The FLG modification introduces additional damage modes into the matrix and significantly increases the composites mode I and mode II inter-laminar energy release rates (ERR). The modification increases the damage initiation stress of the notched tensile specimen and the usable design space and damage tolerance. For ultra-thin-ply laminates, the notched strength is increased due to crack blunting because the FLGs initiate distributed damage on the microscale in highly stressed areas. The damage resulting from low-velocity impact (LVI) decreases with the FLG modification for all layer thickness, but only the residual compressive strength of thick-layer laminates improves. Additionally, the FLG modification leads to a considerable improvement of the compressive strength. As another approach to influence the matrix damage, bio-inspired laminates with a helicoidal layup with a pitch angle of 2.07° were realised. Due to the small angle between the ply, the laminates suppress the formation of delamination damage and only exhibit subcritical matrix cracking before final failure. As a result, the compressive residual strength after LVI is significantly increased compared over 45°-quasi-isotropic (QI) layup, despite a lower proportion of 0}{\degree} fibres in the load direction. Due to the low portion of load oriented fibres, the unnotched tensile strength is lower than 45°-QI layups. However, the formation of helicoidal matrix damage leads to crack blunting, and as a result, almost no notch sensitivity occurs, and similar notched strengths as 45°-QI layups are achieved, despite the low portion of load oriented fibres. Additionally, this thesis investigated the influence of temperature on LVI and the residual strength to further understand the influencing factors of damage tolerance. Because the matrix's mechanical performance decreases with increasing environmental temperature, the composite's damage behaviour is temperature-sensitive. LVIs with impaction energies between 8 J and 25 J and temperature ranging from -20 °C to 80 °C were investigated. A change in temperature leads to a substantial change in damage behaviour. With increasing temperature, the delamination area reduces and fibre-failure occurs on the impacted side, which reduces the residual tensile strength considerably. The compressive residual strength was determined at 20 °C and 80 °C. The results point out that an elevated temperature during compressive loading has a more decisive influence than the impaction energy. To further understand the influence of temperature on the impact damage and the residual strength, temperature- dependent material properties were determined and implemented into a continuum damage model (CDM) to describe CFRP's progressive failure under temperature influence. LVI simulations validated that the material model could predict the damage resulting from different temperatures and impact energies and following residual compressive strength. The results reveal that not an increase of the inter-laminar ERR cause a reduction in delamination size but the change in intralaminar damage and overall structural response. Hochleistungsfaservebundwerkstoffe sind Strukturwerkstoffe, die eine geringe Dichte mit hoher Steifigkeit und Festigkeit kombinieren. Hohe Sicherheits- und Zuverlässigkeitsanforderungen an Strukturbauteile erfordern die Berücksichtigung und eine detaillierte Kenntnis der Schadenstoleranz von Materialien und Strukturen. Der multiskalige Aufbau von Verbundwerkstoffen führt zum Auftreten verschiedener Versagensarten und einem komplexen Versagensverhalten, bei dem das Matrixversagen auf der Mikroebene den Versagensprozess auf allen höheren Betrachtungsebenen beeinflusst. Folglich hat die auftretende Matrixschädigung einen entscheidenden Einfluss auf die Schadenstoleranz. Die Forschungshypothese dieser Arbeit lautet: Das Verständnis und die Anpassung des Schädigungsverhaltens der Matrix ist grundlegend für die Verbesserung der Schadenstoleranz von Hochleistungsfaservebundwerkstoffen. Um das Schädigungsverhalten der Matrix anzupassen, wurden kohlenstofffaserverstärkte Kunststoffe (CFK) mit einer mit Few-Layer Graphene (FLG) modifizierten Matrix mit Schichtdicken von Ultra-Thin-Ply (28 μm / 30 g/m2) bis Thick-Ply (220 μm / 240 g/m2) untersucht. Die FLG-Modifikation führt zu zusätzlichen Schädigungsmodi in der Matrix und erhöht so die interlaminare Energiefreisetzungsrate (ERR) der Verbundwerkstoffe unter Mode I und Mode II Belastungen. Die Modifizierung führt zu einer Erhöhung der Schadensiniitierungspannung von gekerbten Zugproben für alle Schichtdicken, wodurch der nutzbare Lastbereich vergrößert und somit die Schadenstoleranz verbessert wird. Bei Ultra-Thin-Ply Laminaten wird die Kerbfestigkeit durch eine durch Reduktion der Spannungskonzentrationen durch die Bildung von Schäden am FLG auf der Mikroskala in hochbelasteten Bereichen erhöht. Bei Low-Velocity-Schlagschäden (LVI) verringert die Modifikation bei allen Schichtdicken den auftretenden Schaden, jedoch führt dies nur bei dickschichtigen Laminaten zu einer deutlichen Verbesserung der Druckfestigkeit über alle betrachteten Schichtdicken. Als weiterer Ansatz zur Beeinflussung der Matrixschädigung wurden bioinspirierte helikoide Lagenaufbauten mit einem Winkel von 2.07° zwischen den einzelnen Lagen untersucht. Aufgrund des kleinen Winkels zwischen den Lagen unterdrücken die Laminate die Bildung von Delaminationen und es treten nur unterkritische Matrixrisse vor dem endgültigen Versagen auf. Dies führt zu einer deutlich erhöhten Druckrestfestigkeit nach LVI im Vergleich zum 45°-quasi-isotropen (QI) Lagenaufbauten, trotz eines geringeren Anteils an Fasern in Lastrichtung. Dieser geringe Anteil an Fasern in Lastrichtung führt zu einer geringen Zugfestigkeit. Bei gekerbten Proben führt das Auftreten von Matrixrissen jedoch zu einer Reduzierung der Spannungkonzentration, wodurch die Laminate nahezu keinerlei Kerbempfindlichkeit aufweisen und trotz des geringen Anteils lastorientierter Fasern ähnliche Kerbfestigkeiten wie bei 45°-QI Lagenaufbauten erreichen. Zusätzlich wurde in dieser Arbeit der Einfluss der Temperatur auf den aus LVI resultierenden Schaden und die Restfestigkeit untersucht, um die Einflussfaktoren der Schadenstoleranz besser zu verstehen. Da die mechanische Leistungsfähigkeit der Matrix mit steigender Umgebungstemperatur abnimmt, ist das Verhalten von CFK ebenfalls abhängig von der Temperatur. Es wurden LVIs mit Energien zwischen 8 J und 25 J und Temperaturen von -20 °C bis 80 °C untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine hohe Sensitivität des Schädigungsverhaltens zur Temperatur. Mit steigender Temperatur verkleinert sich die Delaminationsfläche und es kommt zum Faserbruch auf der Seite des Schlagschadens, was eine Reduzierung der Restzugfestigkeit zur Folge hat. Die Restdruckfestigkeit wurde bei 20 °C und 80 °C bestimmt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine erhöhte Temperatur während der Druckbeanspruchung einen entscheidenderen Einfluss auf die Restfestigkeit hat als die Schlagenergie. Um das Verständnis über den Einfluss der Temperatur auf die LVI und die Restfestigkeit zu vertiefen, wurden temperaturabhängige Materialeigenschaften bestimmt und in ein Kontinuumsschädigungsmodell (CDM) implementiert, um das progressive Versagen von CFK unter Temperatureinfluss numerisch zu beschreiben. LVI-Simulationen bestätigen, dass das Materialmodell die Schädigung bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen und Schlagenergien sowie die anschließende Restdruckfestigkeit vorhersagen kann. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass nicht eine Erhöhung der interlaminaren ERR zu einer Verringerung der Delaminationsgröße führt, sondern die temperaturbedingte Veränderung der intralaminaren Schädigung und des gesamten Strukturverhaltens.

Rethinking metonymy : literary theory and poetic practice from Pindar to Jakobson
"Although metonymy has long been recognized as being a central device in poetic language, it has received little critical attention in its own right. Not only has this created a gap in literary analytical scholarship which needs to be addressed, but it has also allowed for problematic appropriations of metonymy as a critical concept now widely in use in structuralist studies across the humanities. Rethinking Metonymy is the first monograph to confront and resolve these issues, developing a ground-breaking new definition of metonymy on the basis of an evaluation of examples in Greek tragedy and lyric poetry, but also classicizing and Romantic German poetry."--

Spectral theory on manifolds with fibred boundary metrics
In this PhD Thesis, we study some spectral problems on the setting of manifolds with fibred boundary metrics. The methods we apply, are geometric microlocal analysis in the sense of Melrose. We obtain three main results. In the first part of the Thesis, we review the theory of geometric microlocal analysis and analysis of b-phi pseudo differential theories. Our first result is obtaining polyhomogeneous kernel of the Heat equation for manifold with fibred boundary metrics. Our second result is the polyhomogeneity of resolvent at low energy. Using functional calculus and the polyhomogeneity of resolvent at low energy, we show the polyhomogeneity of Heat kernel for long time. Our last result is to provide the definition of renormalized Analytic torsion by means of polyhomogeneity of heat kernel and renormalization in the sense of Hadamard. In dieser Doktorarbeit untersuchen wir einige spektrale Probleme für die Mannigfaltigkeiten mit fibrierten Grenzmetriken. Die Methoden, die wir anwenden, sind geometrische mikrolokale Analysen im Sinne von Melrose. Wir erhalten drei Hauptergebnisse. Im ersten Teil der Arbeit untersuchen wir die Theorie der geometrischen mikrolokalen Analyse und die Analyse von b-Phi-Pseudo-Differential-Theorien. Unser erstes Ergebnis ist das Erhalten eines polyhomogenen Kerns der Wärmegleichung für eine Mannigfaltigkeit mit faserigen Grenzmetriken. Unser zweites Ergebnis ist die Polyhomogenität der Resolvente bei niedriger Energie. Unter Verwendung der Funktionsrechnung und der Polyhomogenität der Resolvente bei niedriger Energie, zeigen wir die Polyhomogenität des Wärmekerns für lange Zeit. Unser letztes Ergebnis ist die Definition der renormierten analytischen Torsion mittels Polyhomogenität des Wärmekerns und Renormierung im Sinne von Hadamard.

Improved correction methods for symmetry-free systems
As the modern optical setups nowadays often require a more compact and well-performed imaging system, non-spherical surfaces are more and more applied in optical design tasks. The increasing demand for such systems brings the request for more advanced optical design methods. For successful optical design, the aberration assessment, as well as the sensitivity analysis, is of great importance. Particularly for symmetry-free optical systems, a comprehensive imaging performance evaluation method is desired during the aberration correction process. Therefore, one major topic of the work focuses on the quantitative analysis method for surface-decomposed transverse aberration in symmetry-free systems is proposed. Based on a mixed paraxial/real ray-tracing calculation, the method can be applied for the calculation of full-order total, intrinsic, and induced aberration. In addition, the method supports surface-additive Zernike coefficient representation for the assessment of specific aberrations. The implementations of this novel method help to assess the correction performance considering the relatively critical surfaces in an arbitrary system. Besides, the second topic of this work aims to enhance the global searching ability of the optimization of optical design process. A bio-inspired algorithm based on the ant colony optimization is used and extended for this purpose. Guided by physical knowledge, the algorithm is proved feasible to solve simple optimization problems with proper structural changes. The algorithm outputs a large solution database so that the user can gain an overview of the optional solutions with various structures and out select the best fitting ones according to the specific purpose. The obtained results indicate that the combination of optimization algorithm and physical considerations is of great potential in optical system design with a high level of automation for the future outlook.

Influencer in der digitalen Gesundheitskommunikation : Instagramer, YouTuber und Co. zwischen Qualität, Ethik und Professionalisierung
Influencers have gained in importance in recent years. Especially in marketing, cooperation with YouTubers, Instagramers, bloggers and the like has become an important tool. They are considered authentic, credible and trustworthy and represent role models and guides for many recipients—aspects that are becoming increasingly important due to increasing digitalisation and mediatisation, and which also play a central role in health communication. But who or what is an influencer? How do they see themselves? What influence do they have on their followers? This publication deals with these questions from a communication science perspective based on an exploratory approach. Its results show areas of tension in qualitative, ethical and professional respects as well as the different effects of health-related topics on recipients. Influencer haben in den letzten Jahren an Bedeutung gewonnen. Vor allem im Marketing ist die Zusammenarbeit mit YouTubern, Instagramern, Bloggern und Co. zu einem wichtigen Instrument geworden. Sie gelten als authentisch, glaubwürdig und vertrauensvoll und stellen für viele Rezipienten Vorbild und Ratgeber dar – Aspekte, die durch eine zunehmende Digitalisierung und Mediatisierung immer wichtiger werden und auch in der Gesundheitskommunikation eine zentrale Rolle einnehmen. Doch wer oder was ist überhaupt ein Influencer? Wie sehen sie sich selbst? Welchen Einfluss haben sie auf ihre Follower? Die vorliegende Publikation beschäftigt sich mit diesen Fragestellungen aus einer kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Perspektive, der ein explorativer Ansatz zugrunde liegt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen Spannungsfelder hinsichtlich qualitativer, ethischer und professioneller Aspekte sowie unterschiedliche Wirkungen auf Rezipienten bei Gesundheitsthemen.

To vote or not to vote? : understanding the Ghanaian voter
This book examines variations in voter turnout at the sub-national level during general elections. It employs a case study–mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data to provide in-depth evidence for three systematically selected constituencies with varying levels of voter turnout. Findings from the study challenge the adequacy of the strict application of rational choice theory in providing a comprehensive understanding of why voter turnout might vary. The book furthermore advances a framework, that is, individual and collective-level utilities, expanding on the concept of utility to account for variations in voter turnouts. The book’s conclusions highlight the importance of local contexts in shaping voter behaviour and emphasises the primacy of local political dynamics when studying voter behaviour. Moreover, the book enriches our understanding of voter behaviour on the African continent, underscoring the need to adopt a multi-dimensional lens for the study of African politics. Die Autorin untersucht die Unterschiede in der Wahlbeteiligung auf subnationaler Ebene bei allgemeinen Wahlen in Ghana. Sie verwendet einen Fallstudienansatz mit gemischten Methoden, bei dem quantitative und qualitative Daten kombiniert werden, um eingehende Nachweise für drei systematische Wahlkreise mit unterschiedlich hoher Wahlbeteiligung zu erbringen. Die Ergebnisse der Studie stellen die strikte Anwendung der Rational-Choice-Theorie in Frage, um ein umfassendes Verständnis der Gründe für eine unterschiedliche Wahlbeteiligung zu liefern. Das Buch entwickelt hingegen ein Modell für individuellen und kollektiven Nutzen, der das „conceptofutility“ erweitert, um Unterschiede in der Wahlbeteiligung zu erklären. Die Schlussfolgerungen aus dem Buch heben die Bedeutung des lokalen Kontexts für die Prägung des Wählerverhaltens hervor und unterstreichen die Vorrangigkeit der lokalen politischen Dynamik.

Echoing the eccentric genius : the Sherlock Holmes paradigm in contemporary crime series
Abstract: Sherlock Holmes represents an archetype whose genius and eccentricity made him famous around the world and inspired countless other detectives that are based on him, thus creating a Sherlock Holmes paradigm. Moreover, he epitomizes the concepts of genius and eccentricity, which are already marked by a long cultural history, and helped to firmly establish them in popular culture. But what is it about Holmes that sets him apart from other characters and can explain the public’s enduring fascination with him? <br> In this study, it will be shown how numerous elements of the paradigm are still present in many contemporary television crime series, such as the two British series Agatha Christie’s Poirot (1989 – 2013) and Sherlock (2010 – present) as well as the two US series Monk (2002 – 2009) and The Mentalist (2008 – 2015). I will illustrate that the crucial factors of this continuum through time, space and different media are Holmes’s genius and eccentricity in their manifold manifestations. The aim is to verify Holmes as the embodiment of the continuing ambivalence of this label: On the one hand, it offers an outlet for individuality in an age of standardisation and a promise of salvation in troubled times. On the other hand, it comes at the price of being considered an outsider by not conforming to social conventions and traditional gender roles or even of being branded as mentally ill. <br> At first sight, it may seem paradoxical that order and orientation are brought about by a character that is actually marked by his refusal to conform to any norms. Yet it will be shown how the genius of Holmes and his eccentricities are made more relatable to the audience by the seriality of the TV shows as they provide the platform to show both patterns and progress of their protagonists, i.e. eccentric geniuses. <br> In order to explore the relation between the eccentric genius and society, a televised form of detective fiction is especially useful because of the genre’s intrinsic interest in social order and disorder as well as the medium’s link to society. Bearing the sociocultural factor in mind, it will be discussed how the change of time and context affects the image we have of this type and why we still have use for it. As a result, the portrayal of these characters allows us to draw conclusions about the needs, hopes and fears of the society in which they are created

Zwischen Verfolgung und Eingliederung : Kızılbaş-Aleviten im osmanischen Staat (16.-18. Jahrhundert)
The history of the Kızılbaş-Alevis in the Ottoman Empire is often remembered and written as a history of persecution and oppression. This study opens up a perspective on the Ottoman state and the Kızılbaş-Alevis beyond such dominant narratives. It approaches the period between the 16th and the 18th century and investigates how the formerly persecuted Kızılbaş interacted with local and imperial Ottoman state agents. After the persecution of the Kızılbaş by the state both sides entered a relationship which aimed at conveniently accommodating the heterogeneous Kızılbaş-Alevi communities to the (local) Ottoman apparatus of power. Relying on a wide range of Ottoman sources, the author reveals formerly unstudied contexts in which the Kızılbaş-Alevis arranged themselves with and within the Ottoman state. As such, this work challenges widespread notions of persecution or essentialist ideas of Heresy and critically rethinks the social history of the Kızılbaş-Alevis in the Ottoman Empire. Die Geschichte der Kızılbaş-Aleviten im Osmanischen Reich wurde bisher meist unter den Vorzeichen von Verfolgung und Unterdrückung erinnert und beschrieben. Die vorliegende Studie stellt solch dominanten und essentialistischen Narrativen eine Perspektive an die Seite, die das Verhältnis des Staates zu den Kızılbaş-Aleviten in seiner Komplexität analysiert. Dabei geht der Autor der Frage nach, wie sich dieses Verhältnis im Zeitraum vom 16.–18. Jahrhundert entwickelte: Nach der Verfolgung der Kızılbaş, die als Dissidenten und ‚Häretiker‘ galten, etablierte sich ein Verhältnis, das vor allem auf zweckdienliche Einbindung dieser Gruppen in den osmanischen Herrschaftszusammenhang zielte. Auf der Basis bisher für die Alevitentumsforschung ungenutzter osmanischer Quellen wird gezeigt, dass die Kızılbaş-Aleviten in unterschiedlichen Kontexten regelmäßig mit Agenten des Staates interagierten. Somit trägt diese Arbeit zu einer Neubewertung der Geschichte der Kızılbaş-Aleviten in osmanischer Zeit bei.

Terrestrial laser scanning : applications in forest ecological research
The increasing relevance of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of forest canopies for current research tasks, especially in ecology, generates a rising need for instruments offering detailed spatial information (Lovell et al., 2003; Parker et al., 2004; Tageda and Oguma, 2005; Pretzsch and Schütz, 2005). If a fast measurement of high resolution and real 3D-information (xyz-coordinates of all objects) is of highest priority, terrestrial laser scanning can offer such data with a reasonable effort. Destructive methods are not an alternative due to the non-arguable effort they would require for mature forest canopies, especially if the high-resolution 3D-information is in the focus. Research is facing the challenge that surrogates for the three-dimensional distribution may be no longer needed as comprehensive 3D-data becomes available from terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). Now, algorithms and programs are needed to extract suitable parameters from the virtual forests. The pre! sent thesis aimed to contribute to this research. We conducted our studies in the mixed forest of the Hainich National Park (Thuringia, Chapter 2,3,4) and also analyzed tree saplings in a pot experiment in the New Botanical Garden in Goettingen (Lower Saxony, Chapter 5). We found that modelling the three-dimensional structure of a species-rich temperate broad-leaved forest stand based on ground-based 3D-laser scanner data and extracting ecologically relevant parameters, such as canopy openness or gap size distribution, is possible when the calculation is based on volumetric pixels (voxels). Independently taken hemispherical photographs of the canopy were successfully simulated based on the scanner data ...

The temporal context of face perception : behavioural, electrophysiological and neuroimaging correlates
Adaptation-related aftereffects (AEs) and repetition priming (PR) are two phenomena when recent experiences alter face perception. Although the behavioural reflections of AEs and PR are quite different, both phenomena share some similarities regarding their functional properties and neural correlates. As most of the previous studies focused on either one or the other phenomenon, little is known about the relationship between AEs and PR. The present studies attempted to fill this gap. Study I investigated face identity AEs and PR within the same stimulus repetition paradigm, keeping timing and task constant. Following face or Fourier phase randomized (noise) stimuli, participants classified test faces varying on a morph continuum between two famous identities. Study I showed that AEs and PR can be observed within the same paradigm and subjects, behaviourally and in event-related potentials (ERPs). Interestingly, we found identity-specific as well as category-specific ERP modulations. Study II further investigated the factors underlying face identity AEs in a similar paradigm. The results confirmed and extended the findings of Study I, e.g., there were again different ERP modulations by stimulus category and face identity. In Study III, AEs and image-specific PR were investigated in the perception of face gender using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Study III suggested dissociations between 1) gender-specific AEs and image-specific PR in behaviour, 2) brain areas associated with AEs and PR, and 3) brain areas associated with gender-specific and categorical processes. In conclusion, the present studies showed that similarity between adaptor and test faces and ambiguity of the test face both determine whether AE or PR is observed, and suggested that exclusive mechanisms might underlie both phenomena. Our results also revealed that the processing of face identity or gender runs in parallel to object-category processing during the earlier processing stages.

Nonlegal sanctioning in private legal systems : limits in US Antitrust Law and EU competition law
Some modern-day trade associations in commodities industries have complex systems of private commercial enforcement. These associations impose nonlegal sanctions on disloyal industry actors for not complying with awards stemming from specialized commercial arbitration after a business conflict. These extrajudicial measures undermine states’ rights to enact formal legal rules, and could violate US Antitrust Law and EU Competition Law. Yet, they could be viewed as a viable alternative to lengthy and expensive court litigation. This book provides best practice guidelines to highlight under what conditions nonlegal sanctions imposed by a trade association and executed by its members do not violate US Antitrust Law and EU Competition Law. Einige moderne Handelsverbände im transnationalen Bereich verhängen nicht-rechtliche Sanktionen gegen illoyale Branchenakteure, wenn diese sich nicht an Schiedssprüche halten. Diese Maßnahmen untergraben zwar die Rechtsordnungen der Staaten, dennoch könnten sie als praktikable Alternative zu langwierigen und teuren Gerichtsprozessen angesehen werden. Das Werk enthält Best-Practice-Leitlinien, die aufzeigen, unter welchen Bedingungen solche Sanktionen, die von einem Wirtschaftsverband verhängt werden, nicht gegen das US-Kartellrecht und das europäische Wettbewerbsrecht verstoßen.

Die Entdeckung der Freiheit : Liberalismus in der arabischen Ideengeschichte
This thesis deals with the emergence, formation and importance of political liberalism in modern Arab history of thought. The emphasis of the analysis lies on the 19th and early 20th centuries, the age of the so-called "Nahda" in the Arab world. Liberalism is defined as consisting of the main characteristics of freedom, rule of law, market economy, democracy and secularism. For the Arab world, these fundamental ideas of liberalism are analyzed in secular, reformist-islamic and humanist discourses. The range of Arab authors discussed and analyzed here ranges among others from at-Tahtawi to Adib Ishaq and Muhammad Abduh, Ahmad Lutfi Al-Sayyid, Ali Abd Al-Raziq to Taha Husain. Diese Dissertation behandelt die Entstehung, Ausforumung und Bedeutung des politischen Liberalismus in der modernen arabischen Ideengeschichte. Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung sind das 19. und frühe 20. Jahrhundert, das Zeitalter der sogenannten "Nahda" in der arabischen Welt. Liberalismus wird als aus den Kerninhalten Freiheit, Rechtstaatlichkeit, Marktwirtschaft, Demokratie und Säkularismus definiert und für die arabische Welt wird die Entwicklung der liberalen politischen Philosophie in säkularen, reformislamischen und humanistischen Diskursen untersucht. Die Bandbreite der untersuchten Denker reicht neben anderen von at-Tahtawi über Adib Ishaq und Muhammad Abduh, Ahmad Lutfi Al-Sayyid und Ali Abd al-Raziq bis zu Taha Husain.

Kommunale Schulden in Deutschland : Instrumente zur Bekämpfung auf dem Prüfstand einer synthetischen Analyse
Evaluating the success of instruments which aim at reducing local government debt is a highly relevant issue in the light of existing debt problems at the local level in Germany and insufficient research into them. However, adequate empirical analysis is to some extent confronted with the challenge of a small number of observations and ambiguous cause–effect relations. This quantitative study takes the causal effects of austerity commissioners, financial aid programmes and debt brakes on local government debt into account by using different types of synthetic control methods. Its findings do not confirm that these instruments have a consistently positive effect, but that the success of the instruments seems to be highly context-specific. Die Evaluation des Erfolgs von Instrumenten bei der Bekämpfung kommunaler Schulden stellt angesichts der Problemlage vieler Kommunen eine gleichermaßen praxis- wie wissenschaftsrelevante Forschungslücke dar, ist allerdings mit den Herausforderungen teils geringer Fallzahlen und unklaren Ursache-Wirkungszusammenhängen konfrontiert. Die vorliegende quantitative Analyse nimmt die kausalen Effekte von Sparkommissaren, dem Stärkungspakt Stadtfinanzen und freiwilligen Schuldenbremsen auf die Entwicklung der Verschuldung mithilfe synthetischer Matching-Modelle in den Blick. Die Ergebnisse deuten dabei keineswegs auf einen durchgängigen Erfolg der Instrumente hin und legen den Schluss nahe, dass ein erfolgreicher Einsatz stark kontextspezifisch ist.

Heilige und Heiden im legendarischen Erzählen des 13. Jahrhunderts : Formen und Funktionen der Aushandlung des religiösen Gegensatzes zum Heidentum
Against the backdrop of 13th-century cultural history, the study examines the function of legendary narratives in Christian identity formation. Martyrdom, war, and conversion are the basic narratives in negotiating religious opposition to heathendom. These stories were handed down from the early beginnings of Christianity and specifically updated in the context of crusades and missions Formen und Funktionen des legendarischen Erzählens rücken in den letzten Jahren verstärkt in den Fokus der mediävistischen Forschung, wobei zumeist die Figur des oder der Heiligen im Zentrum steht. Nicht systematisch untersucht worden ist hingegen der Umstand, dass das Erzählen von Heiligen sich häufig mit dem Heidentum auseinandersetzt und viele Heilige gerade durch diese Auseinandersetzung ihr charakteristisches Profil gewinnen. Diese Lücke füllt die vorliegende Arbeit, wenn sie anhand eines breiten Korpus von lateinischen und volkssprachigen Legenden des 13. Jahrhunderts (vor allem aus ›Legenda aurea‹ und ›Passional‹, dazu etliche Einzellegenden auch aus dem höfischen Kontext) nach dem Zusammenhang von christlichen Heiligkeitsmodellen und der Aushandlung des religiösen Gegensatzes zum Heidentum fragt. Martyrium, Krieg und Konversion erweisen sich dabei als grundlegende Formen narrativer wie diskursiver Selbstvergewisserung des Christentums, die im kulturgeschichtlichen Zusammenhang der Kreuzzüge sowie der Neubegründung der Mission eine spezifische Aktualisierung erfahren - ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Bedeutung legendarischer Texte für die christliche Identitätsbildung und die religiöse Kultur des Mittelalters Frontmatter --Danksagung --Inhalt --1 Einleitung --2 Heiligkeit und Heidentum im 13.

Neue Reaktionsweisen eines Tetragermabuta-1,3-diens und von Digermenen
Hexakis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)tetragermabuta-1,3-diene (1), which is accessible by a one-pot synthesis, decomposes at temperatures above 65 ʿC to cleavage products which contain one to three Ge-atoms. The reaction of 1 with germanocene proceeds with exchange of an aryl- by a Cp-group and gives a tetragermacyclobutene. The attempted reaction of 1 with decamethylgermanocene did not succeed. However, the crystal structure of Ge(Cp*)2 could be determined. It fits well in the series of decamethylmetallocenes of group 14. The reaction of 1 with small amounts of O2 yielded a six-membered ring with an endocyclic Ge-Ge double bond containing a Ge-O bond. With maleic anhydride a tricyclic compound is formed with a Ge3-moiety in the molecule. Treatment of 1 with gold(I) iodide at 60 ʿC furnished the first digermene-gold(I)-pi-complex. However, the analogous reaction of the correspondingly substituted digermene yielded solely a 1,2-diiododigermane, even at very low temperature. <engl.> Hexakis(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)tetragermabuta-1,3-dien (1), das in einer Eintopfsynthese zugänglich ist, zersetzt sich oberhalb von 65 ʿC in Fragmente, die ein bis drei Germaniumatome enthalten. Die Umsetzung von 1 mit Germanocen ergibt unter Austausch einer Aryl- gegen eine Cp-Gruppe ein Tetragermacyclobuten. Die versuchte Umsetzung von 1 mit Decamethylgermanocen führte nicht zum Erfolg. Jedoch konnte die Kristallstruktur von Ge(Cp*)2 bestimmt werden, das sich sehr gut in die Reihe der Decamethylmetallocene der Gruppe 14 einfügt. Die Reaktion von 1 mit geringen Mengen an O2 führt zu einem Sechsring, der eine sauerstoffsubstituierte Ge-Ge-Doppelbindung enthält. Mit Maleinsäureanhydrid wird eine tricyclische Verbindung gebildet, die ein Ge3-Fragment enthält. Die Reaktion von 1 mit Gold(I)-iodid bei 60 ʿC ergab den ersten Digermen-Übergangsmetall-Pi-Komplex. Dagegen lieferte die analoge Umsetzung des entsprechend substituierten Digermens mit AuI schon bei sehr tiefen Temperaturen lediglich ein 1,2-Diioddigerman. <dt.>

Diversity and biogeography of ferns and birds in bolivia: applications of GIS based modelling approaches
This dissertation focuses on a wide range of biogeographic and macroecological aspects of bird and fern species from Bolivia. In the first chapter I outlined the general purpose of this dissertation, as well as general concepts and implications of large-scale studies. In the second chapter I used the databank of fern species from Bolivia to evaluate the level to which the geographical incomplete data availability of species occurrence affects the perception of species richness and endemism. I performed, for this purpose, a cumulative temporal analysis of the aforementioned databank in a grid context. The patterns of species richness were temporally consistent. The richest areas were always placed along the humid-montane forests, even though collecting intensity were also higher in this area than in others. Endemism, on the other hand, had a lower degree of correlation with collecting intensity, and the resulting endemism spatial patterns were temporally inconsistent ...

Causation and reasoning constructions
Causation and reasoning are different but related types of relationships. Both causal relations and reasoning processes may be expressed with one and the same connective word in some languages: English speakers use because and Japanese speakers use kara. How then are causation and reasoning processes related to and different from each other? How do we construe and encode them? How is because different from other conjunctions with similar meanings?0To account for these and related empirical questions, this book presents an integrated analysis in accordance with the original principles of Construction Grammar. In particular, the book shows that the analysis proposed is compatible with our general knowledge about causation and reasoning and that it is valid for English and Japanese. The proposed analysis is also comprehensively applicable to a variety of related phenomena, ranging from the just because X doesn't mean Y construction to the innovative and less known because X construction

Modellierung und Simulation als Werkzeug zur Bewertung technischer Entwicklungsoptionen am Beispiel der Großkraftwerkstechnik
A methodology with a practical orientation is derived from experienced issues in the application of modelling and simulation. This methodology allows the simulation based comparative studies in terms of their replicability, comparability and modelling close to reality. It is used to investigate development options of utility sized power plants with regard to efficiency improvements and/or CO2 emission reductions. The study compares current state of the art hard coal fired and lignite fired steam power plants and their improvements by increasing steam parameters, lignite pre-dying as well as the application of CO2 capture by post combustion or oxyfuel technology. Furthermore, the impact of using different gas turbine models for natural gas fired combined cycle power plants are studied. Ausgehend von Anwendungsproblemen des Werkzeugs „Modellierung und Simulation“ wird eine praxisnahe Vorgehensweise abgeleitet, die simulationsbasierte Vergleichsstudien unter den Aspekten Nachvollziehbarkeit, Vergleichbarkeit und Realitätsnähe erlaubt. Diese wird am Beispiel der Entwicklungsoptionen der Großkraftwerkstechnik hinsichtlich Wirkungsgradsteigerung und CO2-Emissionsminderung genutzt. Betrachtet werden stein- und braunkohlebefeuerte Dampfkraftwerke nach dem Stand der Technik, deren möglichen Fortentwicklung durch gesteigerte Dampfparameter, Braunkohlevortrocknung sowie CO2-Abtrennung im Post-Combustion- und Oxyfuel-Verfahren. Zudem werden die Unterschiede verschiedener Gasturbinenmodelle bei erdgasbefeuerten GuD-Kraftwerken untersucht.

The Non-Keplerian motion of propeller moons in the Saturnian ring system
One of the tremendous discoveries by the Cassini spacecraft has been the detection of propeller structures in Saturn's A ring. Although the generating moonlet is too small to be resolved by the cameras aboard Cassini, its produced density structure within the rings, caused by its gravity can be well observed. The largest observed propeller is called Blériot and has an azimuthal extent over several thousand kilometers. Thanks to its large size, Blériot could be identified in different images over a time span of over 10 years, allowing the reconstruction of its orbital evolution. It turns out that Blériot deviates considerably from its expected Keplerian orbit in azimuthal direction by several thousand kilometers. This excess motion can be well reconstructed by a superposition of three harmonics, and therefore resembles the typical fingerprint of a resonantly perturbed body. This PhD thesis is directed to the excess motion of Blériot. Resonant perturbations are a known for some of the outer satellites of Saturn. Thus, in the first part ...

Heimat : Mímesis y movimiento en las series autoficcionales de Thomas Bernhard y Fernando Vallejo
This research presents a transareal study of the autofictional series of the Austrian writer Thomas Bernhard and the Colombian Fernando Vallejo, two authors whose work is marked by a fierce critique of their homelands, their Heimaten, but also by a complex rootedness. The interpretative analyses show that in Die Autobiographie and El río del tiempo the Heimat is presented as a construct that encompasses not only blissful but also negative, dissolutive, destructive elements, thus distancing both authors from a traditional conception of Heimat as a necessarily harmonic territory to which the subject feels positively attached. Instead, it is conceived as a dissimilar set, to which the subject relates, necessarily, in an ambivalent and problematic way. In both authors, literary narration is configured as an act in which this ambivalence is not simply represented, but in which, above all, the forms of hostility that give the Heimat its inhospitable character are contested. To this end, the authors resort to the implementation of two fundamental resources: mimesis and movement. The research demonstrates how their literary works present the Heimat as a space of continuous movements, exchanges and interactions, in which structures of oppression are at work, but also opposition mechanisms, practices of intersubjective openness and aspirations of community integration. Esta investigación propone un estudio transareal de las series autoficcionales del escritor austriaco Thomas Bernhard y el colombiano Fernando Vallejo, dos autores cuya obra se caracteriza por una dura crítica a sus países de origen, a sus Heimaten, pero también por un complejo arraigamiento. Los análisis interpretativos demuestran que en Die Autobiographie y El río del tiempo la Heimat se presenta como un constructo que abarca no solamente elementos dichosos, sino que presenta también elementos negativos, disolutivos, destructivos, con lo cual ambos autores de distancian de una concepción tradicional de Heimat como territorio necesariamente armónico al que el sujeto se siente positivamente vinculado. En cambio, ella se concibe como un conjunto disímil, frente al cual el sujeto se relaciona, necesariamente, de modo ambivalente y problemático. En ambos autores la narración literaria se configura como un acto en el que no simplemente se representa esa ambivalencia, sino en el que, sobre todo, se impugnan las formas de hostilidad que le confieren a la Heimat su carácter inhóspito. Para ello, ambos autores recurren a la implementación de dos recursos fundamentales: la mímesis y el movimiento. La investigación muestra de qué manera las obras estudiadas la Heimat se presenta como un espacio de continuos movimientos, intercambios e interacciones, en el que actúan mecanismos de opresión, pero también dispositivos de oposición, prácticas de apertura intersubjetiva y aspiraciones de integración comunitaria.

Pathographie der Tropen : Literatur, Medizin und Kolonialismus um 1900
"This study analyses the imagination of the tropics as a space of disease, madness and infection in German colonial culture around 1900. It introduces the notion of the dispositive of tropical medicine (tropenmedizinische Dispositiv) in order to describe the construction of disease entities such as Tropenkoller (tropical frenzy), tropical neurasthenia and tropical fever as the result of interdiscursive exchanges between medicine, psychiatry, literature and various other discourses. The case studies include detailed analyses of the poetics of Tropenfieber in works by Robert Koch and Thomas Mann, the semantics and materialities of tropical neurasthenia and vitalist constructions of the tropics in the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche and in expressionist poetry. Special attention is given to the discursive nexus of malaria, race and immunity in German tropical hygiene at the beginning of the 20th century. Methodologically, the study combines David Arnold's notion of 'tropicality' with insights from postcolonial studies and recent approaches to the poetics of knowledge."--Author's page, University of Amsterdam web site

Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Gestaltung von Information und Kommunikation in staatlichen Forstorganisationen : theoretische Analyse und empirische Studien zum internen Berichtswesen und zur Organisationskultur von ForstBW
Zusammenfassung: The present thesis deals with the information and communication in the forestry organizations of Baden-Wuerttemberg. In order to obtain information and to be able to manage the organization via communication in a target-oriented manner the forestry organizations in Baden-Wuerttemberg use a variety of management tools. One of these tools are the internal forestry reports. The purpose of these reports is to support the decision-makers in their management tasks. Internal reports are often criticized with regard to their utility. The problem is that it is not yet known to what extent internal forestry reports can really support the decision-makers in their management tasks. It is also unknown which difficulties could possibly lead to the fact that internal forestry reports partly or completely miss their purpose and whether there are possibilities to solve potential problems. This leads to the following research objectives: Using the example of the internal forestry reports it will be described and explained what kind of problems there are in the operational information and communication of the forestry organizations of Baden-Wuerttemberg. Further it will be described and explained to what extent the internal forestry reports can fulfill their reporting purpose. On this basis it will be elaborated what range of possibilities there are to alleviate the indicated problems respectively to demonstrate the limitations of operational information and communication. The theoretical framework consists of two parts. The first part is based on conventional operational theories regarding difficulties in the information system. However, this part of the theory is not considered to be sufficient for obtaining the research’s objectives. This is why in the second part of the theoretical framework the informal side of the organization is reviewed - based on the theories of the organizational culture. The two parts of the theoretical framework differ in their statements, they are sometimes even contradictory. Two qualitative empirical studies of explorative character should investigate whether the internal forestry reports can fulfill their own requirements. The objective of the first sub study was to define the problems in the achievement of the purpose of the reports which become obvious when they are investigated from the perspective of the first part of the theoretical framework. The author conducted in the forestry organizations of Baden-Wuerttembe ...

Multiple transitions to sustainable energy systems in Senegal : an analysis of driving forces, institutional settings, regional capabilities, local embedding, and path creation processes
There is great potential for renewable energy (RE) in Senegal. Like other countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Senegal needs a reliable and affordable energy supply to fuel its growing energy needs (IRENA, 2020a) and has abundant natural resources for renewable energy (IRENA, 2020b). Developing RE could promote energy independence, reduce energy costs, enable a robust energy supply, create new jobs, provide access to unserved rural areas, and, above all, contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (Apfel and Herbes, 2021). But the country still relies heavily on imported fossil fuels, and the factors in a transition to renewable energy are little understood (Apfel et al., 2021). Complex political, economic, and social systems interact in Senegal to influence the transition processes, and the research reported in this thesis was undertaken to better understand both these systems and their interactions. Two overarching questions drive the research: First, what leads small- and medium-sized entrepreneurial enterprises (SMEs) – nearly all the businesses in Senegal – to participate, or not, in the transition of the energy sector towards renewable energy? Second, what social, economic and political dynamics are behind the creation of emerging energy paths in Senegal? Three intersecting approaches were taken to these questions. First, a systematic literature review of RE research in the Global South was done. Quantitative models, especially energy models, are found to dominate the discourse. Political and social processes are surprisingly under-researched. Established concepts and approaches appear inadequate to understand sustainable energy transitions in the Global South. To find more viable concepts, I derive five avenues for future research: sociotechnical energy imaginaries, power in energy systems, social innovations, business factors and spatial dimensions (Apfel et al., 2021). The second line of inquiry explores entrepreneurship in Senegal, specifically the factors influencing RE adoption by Senegalese entrepreneurs. Using an extended UTAUT 2 model to analyze interviews with 23 SMEs and 13 energy experts, I find effort expectancy is generally underestimated, usually due to inadequate knowledge about RE. Performance expectancy can be high and may have a positive impact on the adoption process, while social influence does not seem to play a role. Paramount among facilitating conditions is the support of the government, although the cost of RE technologies is also an influencing factor. The factors motivating RE adoption associated with prosumerism in the West cannot be assumed in Senegal. The third approach to understanding the energy transition in Senegal comes out of Evolutionary Economic Geography, where the framework of regional path creation processes of MacKinnon et al. (2019) is used to analyze interview data from 17 Senegalese energy experts. In this way, I identify three parallel emerging energy paths – path transplantation, indigenous path creation and path upgrading. Each is evolving in a different sector of the energy system and at its own pace and scale. Each differs greatly in its underlying legitimation and the support from institutions for its development. Dominant structures along each path are identified and future opportunities to address Senegal’s energy futures are highlighted (Apfel, 2022). In addition to contributing to researchers in the field, the results reported herein can inform and encourage professionals of development agencies, regional institutions, NGOs and private firms in shaping a sustainable energy system in Senegal.

Mir grauet vor der Götter Neide - Der Neid der Eltern in Fallbeispielen und Literatur
In several psychoanalytic treatments during my training, I came across the fact that patients were inhibited in their own development because, among other reasons, they unconsciously feared the envy of a parent (usually the same sex) or even both parents. Also parents were not aware of their envy, which is quite explicable with reference to our prevailing ideas of a parent: parents in German families are supposed to have solely good intentions regarding their children and they only want the "Best" for them. Envy in the sense of "not allowing anything to anyone" would be downright contrary t... In mehreren psychoanalytischen Behandlungen während meiner Weiterbildung stieß ich auf die Tatsache, dass Patienten in ihrer eigenen Entwicklung unter anderem deswegen gehemmt waren, weil sie - in der Regel nicht ohne Grund - unbewusst den Neid eines Elternteils (zumeist des gleichgeschlechtlichen) oder sogar beider Eltern fürchteten. Auch den Eltern war ihr Neid nicht bewusst, was an Hand der bei uns herrschenden Vorstellungen, wie Eltern zu sein haben, durchaus erklärbar ist: Eltern haben in der deutschen Familie für ihre Kinder nur Gutes im Sinn und wollen nur deren "Bestes".

Evaluation und Erweiterung thermodynamischer Modelle zur Vorhersage von Wirkstofflöslichkeiten
Solubilities of active pharmaceutical ingredients in pure solvents are calculated with the Schroeder-van Laar-equation. Seven different models are used to calculate the required activity coefficients (ideal mixture, Hansen solubility model, UNIFAC, Mod. UNIFAC (Do), COSMO-RS(Ol), NRTL-SAC, Pharma Mod. UNIFAC). The number of calculable solubility data depends on the activity coefficient model because of required model-specific parameters. The comparison with the available experimental data shows that the models vary in their calculation quality. The correlative model NRTL-SAC provides the best results of all activity coefficient models because this model already contains information of experimental solubility data. Of the models not depending on experimental solubility data of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, the best results are obtained with a revised group contribution approach called Pharma Mod. UNIFAC. This model is developed in this work. <engl.> Wirkstofflöslichkeiten in reinen Lösungsmitteln werden mit der Schroeder-van Laar-Gleichung berechnet. Zur Ermittlung der notwendigen Aktivitätskoeffizienten werden sieben verschiedene Modelle eingesetzt (ideale Mischung, Hansen-Löslichkeitsmodell, UNIFAC, Mod.

Der Vergleich mit verfügbaren experimentellen Daten zeigt, dass sich die Modelle in ihrer Berechnungsqualität unterscheiden. Das korrelative Modell NRTL-SAC liefert von allen Modellen die besten Ergebnisse, weil Informationen aus experimentellen Löslichkeitsdaten bereits in dieses Modell einfließen. Von den Modellen, die nicht auf experimentelle Löslichkeitsdaten des Wirkstoffes angewiesen sind, werden die besten Ergebnisse mit dem überarbeiteten Gruppenbeitragsansatz Pharma Mod.

Approaches for the optimisation of double sampling for stratification in repeated forest inventories
Double sampling for stratification is an efficient sampling scheme that could prove its practicability in different forest inventories. Nevertheless, further increases of efficiency are desired. Several approaches for achieving this aim are presented and discussed separately in this thesis.

Das Patentlizenzvertragsrecht in Deutschland, in der Schweiz und im Vereinigten Königreich : Rechtsvergleich und EU-Richtlinienvorschlag
Patent license contracts are of considerable economic importance. They promote national and international competition as well as the progressive development of technologies. In many national legal systems, however, the legal frameworks applicable to patent license contracts exist in rudimentary form only. The author examines and compares the patent license contract laws of Germany, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The legal comparison shows various differences in the applicable laws as well as substantial regulatory gaps. In the author’s opinion the latter require a harmonisation of patent license contract laws within the European Union. On this basis, the author develops a proposal for an EU directive, which seeks to harmonise the national laws in the interest of the parties to a patent license contract and in favour of economy and competition. Patentlizenzverträge haben eine erhebliche wirtschaftliche Bedeutung. Sie fördern den nationalen und internationalen Wettbewerb und die fortschreitende Entwicklung von Technologien. Die für Patentlizenzverträge geltenden rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen sind dagegen in vielen nationalen Rechtsordnungen rudimentär ausgestaltet. Die Verfasserin untersucht und vergleicht das Patentlizenzvertragsrecht in Deutschland, in der Schweiz und im Vereinigten Königreich. Der Rechtsvergleich offenbart neben zahlreichen Wertungsunterschieden auch gravierende Regelungslücken, die nach Ansicht der Verfasserin eine Harmonisierung des Patentlizenzvertragsrechts innerhalb der Europäischen Union erforderlich machen. Auf dieser Grundlage entwickelt die Verfasserin einen EU-Richtlinienvorschlag mit dem Ziel, die nationalen Rechtsordnungen im Interesse der Parteien eines Patentlizenzvertrags und zu Gunsten von Wirtschaft und Wettbewerb zu harmonisieren.

Investigation of the Compression of Magnetized Plasma and Magnetic Flux
Introduction -- Theoretical Background -- Experimental Setup -- Initial Conditions Characterization -- Results -- Discussion -- Conclusions The present research studies the fundamental physics occurring during the magnetic flux and magnetized plasma compression by plasma implosion. This subject is relevant to numerous studies in laboratory and space plasmas. Recently, it has attracted particular interest due to the advances in producing high-energy-density plasmas in fusion-oriented experiments, based on the approach of magnetized plasma compression. The studied configuration consists of a cylindrical gas-puff shell with pre-embedded axial magnetic field that pre-fills the anode-cathode gap. Subsequently, axial pulsed current is driven through the plasma generating an azimuthal magnetic field that compresses the plasma and the axial magnetic field embedded in it. A key parameter for the understanding of the physics occurring during the magnetized plasma compression is the evolution and distribution of the axial and azimuthal magnetic fields. Here, for the first time ever, both fields are measured simultaneously employing non-invasive spectroscopic methods that are based on the polarization properties of the Zeeman effect. These measurements reveal unexpected results of the current distribution and the nature of the equilibrium between the axial and azimuthal fields. These observations show that a large part of the current does not flow in the imploding plasma, rather it flows through a low-density plasma residing at large radii. The development of a force-free current configuration is suggested to explain this phenomenon. Previously unpredicted observations in higher-power imploding-magnetized-plasma experiments, including recent unexplained structures observed in the Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion experiment, may be connected to the present discovery

Die Strafbarkeit der Marktmanipulation unter dem europäischen Marktmissbrauchsregime
This book examines the criminal liability for market manipulation pursuant to section 119 of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) under the European market abuse regime in force as of 2016. The changes in criminal liability brought about by European norms are analysed coherently. A legal comparison with EU countries reveals that the requirement of price impact is a special feature of the German offence. The book closely examines a new qualification of a crime, which raises unresolved questions as to its preconditions and has important consequences for criminal proceedings. Practising as a criminal defence lawyer, the author has a wealth of experience in capital markets criminal law and places particular emphasis on practical insights. Das Werk untersucht die Strafbarkeit der Marktmanipulation gem. § 119 WpHG unter dem ab 2016 geltenden europäischen Marktmissbrauchsregime. Die durch europäische Normen bewirkten Änderungen der Strafbarkeit werden zusammenhängend untersucht. Im Rechtsvergleich mit anderen EU-Ländern zeigt sich mit der Preiseinwirkung eine Besonderheit der deutschen Strafnorm. Im Detail untersucht das Buch die neue Verbrechensqualifikation (§ 119 Abs. 5 WpHG), die hinsichtlich ihrer Tatbestandsvoraussetzungen ungeklärte Zweifelsfragen aufwirft und strafprozessual bedeutende Folgen hat. Der als Strafverteidiger tätige Autor verfügt über langjährige Erfahrung im Kapitalmarktstrafrecht und legt besonderes Augenmerk auf die Erfahrungen der Praxis.

Trace gas fluxes and belowground carbon allocation in tropical montane forest soils of Southern Ecuador
Tropical forest soils are important sources of the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O), and of nitric oxide (NO), a precursor of ozone production. They are also sinks for the greenhouse gas methane (CH4). Estimates on soil trace gas fluxes and on carbon cycling from tropical forest soils are heavily biased towards lowland forests. Limited data is available on trace gas exchange from tropical montane forest (TMF) soils and their carbon cycle has only been marginally explored, although TMFs cover approximately 9% of the tropical forest area. This dissertation presents the results of a comprehensive study on soil CO2, N2O, NO, and CH4 exchange and possible biogeochemical regulators, with a special focus on the influence of nutrient availability in TMFs of southern Ecuador. Soil CO2, N2O and CH4 fluxes were determined using static closed chambers and gas chromatographic analysis at three sites along an elevation gradient from 1000 m to 3000 m (1000 m, 2000 m, 3000 m) and along topographic gradients (lower slope, midslope, ridge),. NO fluxes were measured in the field using open dynamic chambers and a LMA-3D NO2 Analyzer with chemiluminescence detection. To determine the potential atmospheric CH4 uptake of different soil substrates, a laboratory incubation experiment using organic ...

Produktsicherheit und staatliche Verantwortung : das normative Leitbild des Produktsicherheitsgesetzes
Das Werk untersucht das staatliche Rollenverständnis des zum 1. Dezember 2011 in Kraft getretenen Produktsicherheitsgesetzes (ProdSG). Nach einer einleitenden Darstellung der historischen Hintergründe und der Entwicklung des allgemeinen Produktsicherheitsrechts setzt sich die Autorin im Detail mit den produktsicherheitsgesetzlichen Steuerungselementen auseinander. Einem akteursbezogenen Ansatz folgend klassifiziert sie diese jeweils nach ihrer Zugehörigkeit zur privaten oder staatlichen Verantwortungssphäre. Hierauf basierend bestimmt sie das normative Leitbild des ProdSG, dessen praktische Umsetzung sie sodann anhand der Marktüberwachungspraxis reflektiert. Die Darstellung schließt mit einer kritischen Würdigung des Produktsicherheits- und Marktüberwachungspakets der Europäischen Union, das eine weitere Etappe der Rechtsentwicklung auf dem Gebiet der Product Compliance eingeleitet hat. / The last century witnessed a fundamental transformation of the role of the state with regard to product safety. This book examines the processes that led to the state's sharply increasing influence and responsibilities culminating in the adoption of the German Product Safety Act on December 1, 2011. Particular attention is given to the increasing influence of EU law. Dörte Gauger addresses the instruments of control legislators employ to guarantee product safety and delineates the actions of the players involved to classify the requirements laid down in product safety law, distinguishing between the supervision of the state and the responsibility of private entities. As a result, she is able to identify the normative paradigm of the German Product Safety Act and to examine, in a subsequent step, the practical implementation of this paradigm through the example of the market surveillance practices of the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg. The book concludes with a critical assessment of the European Union's impact on product safety and market surveillance provisions, which initiated a new stage in product compliance.

The Messianic Feeding of the Masses: An Analysis of John 6 in the Context of Messianic Leadership in Post-Colonial Zimbabwe
This volume was passed as doctoral thesis by the University of Bayreuth (Germany) in February 2012. The author presents a new way of looking at leadership, history, culture and the reading of scripture in light of theme of The Messianic Feeding of the Masses. The author examines how the Zimbabwean president has embraced some messianic titles and statements ascribed to him for liberating Zimbabwe from her colonial masters and the feeding of the people. The book makes a comparative and sociological analysis of kingship in ancient traditions so as to demonstrate how the ‘sacredness’ associated and ascribed to the reign of Mugabe was not uncommon. As the bearer of the charisma, Mugabe takes some radical measures to assume the task of a saviour. He embraces the praises accorded to him by his admirers and commands obedience and a following in virtue of his mission. Some aspects examined in this study may be highly controversial but eye-opening. The author does not attempt to convert anyone to a particular side but through the way he articulates issues and supports arguments with Historical, Biblical and current material, he invites people to debate even in a larger arena. Dieser Band präsentiert eine Kontextuelle Lektüre von Joh 6 im Kontext messianischer Führungsansprüche im postkolonialen Simbabwe. Zur Analyse werden nicht nur altorientalische Herrschaftstraditionen herangezogen, auch das Alte Testament, das Frühjudentum und die Königstraditionen der Schona-Kultur finden Beachtung. Im Zentrum des Interesses steht dabei das Motiv der Ernährung der Massen durch den Herrscher.

Geographic determinants of malaria transmission : a case study from Kossi Province, Burkina Faso
Despite massive efforts for malaria control, the disease remains an important threat to human health in many tropical and subtropical regions. Malaria is of particular importance for the African continent, with most of the global malaria burden being concentrated on the countries of East, Central and West Africa. In Burkina Faso, malaria is a major public health problem and the leading cause of death among children. A case study on the geographic dimension of malaria in Kossi Province in 2008 was carried out in order to assess spatial and temporal variation at a regional scale. While transmission seasonality appeared to be driven mainly by climatic factors, large regional differences in malaria seasonality and incidence were observed and linked to physio- and sociogeographic disparities ...

Explaining resistance to change : some experimental evidence and implications
Many organisational changes fail because of resistance to change by employees. Changes require new ways of thinking, and the general uncertainty that surrounds them tends to make people uncomfortable. Jan Philipp Krügel examines the circumstances under which employees are more accepting of change with a laboratory experiment. His findings suggest that if employees are treated well by their employer in the first place, they are also more willing to help implement changes. The general uncertainty about the outcome of change, however, does not necessarily lead to strong resistance.Jan Philipp Krügel is currently working as a research assistant for the chair of behavioural economics at Helmut-Schmidt-University in Hamburg. His research focuses on experimental economics, game theory and behavioural economics. Eine Vielzahl organisatorischer Reformen scheitert aufgrund des Widerstandes der Mitarbeiter (resistance to change). Veränderungen erfordern Offenheit gegenüber Neuem, und viele Menschen empfinden Angst vor dem Ungewissen. Mit Hilfe eines ökonomischen Laborexperimentes untersucht Jan Philipp Krügel die Umstände, unter denen die Akzeptanz für Wandel hoch und gleichzeitig Widerstände gering ausfallen. Die Ergebnisse der Studie legen nahe, dass Mitarbeiter strukturelle Reformen insbesondere dann unterstützen, wenn sie vom Unternehmen im Vorfeld gut behandelt wurden und als fair empfundene Löhne erhalten. Jan Philipp Krügel ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Lehrstuhl für Volkswirtschaftslehre, insb. Behavioral Economics, an der Helmut-Schmidt-Universität in Hamburg. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte liegen in den Bereichen experimentelle Ökonomie, Spieltheorie und Verhaltensökonomik.

A new science for future : climate impact modeling and the quest for digital openness
The future of climate, science, and technology is not what it used to be. This book is an investigation of computational and data practices in climate impact research. Drawing on ethnographic and digital methodologies, it explores how simulation modelers calculate future climate risks in computer models, and how they make their scientific knowledge accessible to others. Addressing issues such as the rise of digital, distributed infrastructures, and public expectations for open science, Simon David Hirsbrunner unravels contemporary transformations that reshuffle temporalities and agencies within techno-scientific practice.

Analysis of the Electric Dipole Moment in the R-parity Violating Supersymmetric Standard Model
In this thesis the author discusses the phenomenology of supersymmetric models by means of experimental data set analysis of the electric dipole moment. There is an evaluation of the elementary processes contributing to the electric dipole moments within R-parity-violating supersymmetry, which call for higher-order perturbative computations. A new method based on linear programming is developed and for the first time the non-trivial parameter space of R-parity violation respecting the constraints from existing experimental data of the electric dipole moment is revealed. As well, the impressive efficiency of the new method in scanning the parameter space of the R-parity-violating sector is effectively demonstrated. This new method makes it possible to extract from the experimental data a more reliable constraint on the R-parity violation

Optical and structural analysis of luminescent nanoparticles in glasses for medical diagnostics
In this thesis fluorescent europium (Eu)- and barium chloride (BaCl2)-doped fluorozirconate (FZ) based glasses and glass ceramics, which are known for their efficient scintillation and storage phosphor properties, were the subject of improvement going along with their structural and optical investigation. One main focus is the investigation and optimization of the Eu valency. The addition of indium to the glass host improves glass quality and is also needed for a phase transformation from hexagonal to orthorhombic phase BaCl2 nanoparticles, which is important for storage phosphor applications. Subsequent remelting of the glass proves to increase the Eu2+content and thus the performance of the glass ceramics for scintillator applications. Additional co-doping with other trivalent rare earths, namely Gd, Nd, Yb, or Tb, for light output enhancement influences the nanocrystal nucleation and growth as well as the Eu2+photoluminescence. storage phosphor; europium; scintillation; radiation detection fiber; fluorozirconate glass; barium chloride; nanoparticles; fluorescence; ZBLAN; glass ceramic Das Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die Szintillations- und Speicherleuchtstoffeigenschaften von fluoreszierenden Europium (Eu)- und Bariumchlorid (BaCl2)-dotierten Zirkonfluorid (ZF) Gläsern und Glaskeramiken zu steigern und dies durch strukturelle sowie optische Charakterisierungsmethoden zu evaluieren.

Spatial pricing and competition : a theoretical and empirical analysis of the German raw milk market
Space is an important dimension in agricultural markets because of the relatively high transport costs and the high spatial concentration of food production. However, only a few studies consider space as a factor. This doctoral thesis bridges the gap. First, the analytical results for all different combinations of spatial pricing (free on board, uniform delivered and optimal discriminatory pricing) and spatial competition (Löschian, Hotelling-Smithies and Greenhut-Ohta competition) are described. Second, empirical results for the German raw milk market are presented. We thereby demonstrate that dairies adopt cooperative competition (price-matching), thus maximising their profits and decreasing the producer price. Additionally, a positive relationship between the producer prices of neighbouring dairies can be demonstrated. Other factors, such as the number of competitors or the organisational form of a dairy, can also influence the producer price.

Climate change assessment in Southeast Asia and implications for agricultural production in Vietnam
For many years, the study of climatic changes and variations has become the main objective of climatic research, as has been appreciated in the IPCC's reports and several publications regarding climatic evolution on different space-time scales. Since the 80's, many research groups have generated the extensive database from which the analysis of temperature, precipitation and other climatic parameters has been performed on a global scale (Jones et al., 1986; Hansen and Lebedeff, 1987, 1988; Vinnikov et al., 1987, 1990). The most important result of these research projects is the evidence of global warming during the 20th century, especially in the last two decades. However, numerous challenges still exist about the structure and dimension of the climatic change on a considerable scale. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out studies on a local and regional scale that allow for a more precise evaluation of the global warming phenomenon. A statistical analysis approach was developed to identify systematic differences between large-scale climatic variable from the General Circulation Models (GCM), NCEP, CRU re-analysis data set and climatic parameters (temperature and precipitation data). Models are able to satisfactorily reproduce the spatial patterns of the regional temperature and precipitation field. The response of the climate system to various emission scenario simulated by the GCM was used to analyze and predict the local climate change. The main objective of this study is to analysis the time evolution of the annual and seasonal temperature and precipitation during the 21st century and in order to contribute to our knowledge of temperature and precipitation trends over the century on a regional scale ...

Pilgern als alternative Reiseform : Chancen zur Erschließung von neuen touristischen Räumen, dargestellt am Pommerschen Jakobsweg
By re-opening new trails for pilgrims, the initiators hope to realese a pulse to the development of tourism in untapped areas. Exemplary, the aim of the Pomeranian Way of St James is to add a touristic value to the coastal hinterland of the South Baltic Area by revitalizing a European Cultural Route. The aim of this tourism geographical study is to investigate the potential of the Pomeranian Way of St James in terms of the demand side and show opportunities for action. The analysis also serves as a concept and guideline for future projects and takes a critical look at current research results. The focus of the study is given to the travel specific aspects of pilgrimages and the function of pilgrims’ routes as tourist products. As a result, five forms of travel have been identified that are a special issue for the altervative pilgrimage tourism. They also form the proven, strong demand for peripheral pilgrim routes.

Aristotle and the Ontology of St. Bonaventure
Bonaventure’s metaphysical thought and his interpretation of Aristotle Contemporary scholarship on Bonaventure has characterized him as the Neo-platonic foil to the Aristotelianism of his day. The present book, however, shows a Bonaventure who is highly enthusiastic about utilizing the philosophy of Aristotle and who centers much of his philosophical project around interpreting and understanding the texts of Aristotle. Two goals are central to this book. The first is to shed light on Bonaventure’s greatly understudied ontology and theory of forms, demonstrating how his philosophical system is an important and unique alternative to other medieval Aristotelian systems. The second is to establish, more broadly, how Bonaventure’s interpretation of Aristotle is a resource which should be mined for contemporary efforts in thinking about and reading Aristotle himself.

Evaluierung dreier nichtinvasiver Blutdruckmessgeräte beim Hund
The agreement and the trending ability of three noninvasive blood pressure devices with direct arterial blood pressure (ABP) measurements at low, normal and high ABP, SVRI and HF ranges in awake and anesthetized dogs was investigated. In a randomized completed cross-over study arterial blood pressure was measured in seven adult beagle dogs. For HDO, petMAP and Doppler measurements appropriately sized cuffs were randomly placed at the forelimb, the hindlimb or the base of the tail and then rotated clockwise. For each data comparison the mean of six consecutive noninvasive measurements was calculated and compared to the mean of invasive measurements from the dorsal metatarsal artery from the corresponding 6 minutes period. The arterial catheter was connected to a pre-calibrated electronic pressure transducer via non-compliant fluid-filled extension lines and the system was regularly flushed with heparinized saline to prevent blood clot formation. The pressure transducer was positioned and zeroed to atmospheric pressure at the level of the aortic root. Systolic (SAP), mean (MAP) and diastolic (DAP) arterial pressure were constantly measured, displayed on a multiparameter monitor and recorded with a computer software. The arterial pressure waveform was evaluated by visual inspection and by performing regularly fast flush tests to detect over or underdamping. Cardiac output was determined by thermodilution and SVR was calculated and indexed to body surface area (SVRI). During sevoflurane anaesthesia hypertension (MAP > 120 mmHg) or hypotension (MAP < 60 mmHg) were induced by administration of dopamine (10-18 µg kg-1 minute-1 IV) or increasing FiSEVO, respectively. On each trial day the animals received one of four different anaesthetic protocols, so blood pressure measurements were performed in awake and anaesthetized animals. Cardiac output baseline measurements were taken in the awake animals. Based on these measurements the SVRI was calculated and the SVRI normal range was defined as the 99% confidence interval of the SVRI baseline values. On the basis of invasively measured MAP, HF and SVRI the data were defined as hypo-, normo- and hypertensive, brady-, normo- and tachycardic and as low, normal or high systemic vascular resistant. Bland-Altman analysis was used to determine agreement of noninvasive and invasive measurements at the different cardiovascular ranges. The trending ability of the three blood pressure devices to detect a tendency of falling or rising ABP was evaluated on the basis of the method of CRITCHLEY et al. (2011). Of 756 measurement attempts with each device, a total of 752, 640 and 739 paired measurements for HDO, petMAP and Doppler could be obtained, respectively. The Ultrasonic Doppler Flow Detector did not obtain good agreement with invasively measured ABP at any of the investigated cardiovascular ranges. In contrast, both oscillometric devices were able to gain convincing results at hypotensive and low SVRI ranges for the MAP. The oscillometric MAP was the most reliable parameter measured with the highest accuracy. However, at hypertension and high SVRI none of the investigated devices was reliable. Under these cardiovascular conditions, particularly SAP is massively underestimated by all three devices. The two oscillometric devices were most accurate for MAP at hypo- or normotension and at low or normal SVRI, but achieved only moderate agreement for MAP at hypertension and high SVRI. A good trending ability for SAP was detected for all three devices. The HDO device was furthermore able to gain moderate trending ability considering the MAP. Therefore, to reliably detect a blood pressure change in SAP all three devices can be used. For trend detection in MAP, solely the HDO device was reliable. Das Ziel dieser Studie war der Vergleich der Übereinstimmung dreier nichtinvasiver Blutdruckmessgeräte mit invasiv gemessenem arteriellem Druck bei verschiedenen kardiovaskulären Zuständen bei gesunden Hunden, sowie die Bestimmung der Trendfähigkeit der Geräte, Veränderungen im Blutdruck abzubilden. In einer randomisierten, kompletten Cross-over Studie wurde der arterielle Druck bei sieben adulten Beaglen gemessen. Die Manschetten des Doppler-Ultraschall-, petMAP- sowie HDO-Gerätes wurden für die nichtinvasive Blutdruckmessung um die Vordergliedmaße, Hintergliedmaße oder Schwanzbasis randomisiert platziert und im Uhrzeigersinn rotiert, sodass mit jedem Gerät an allen drei Lokalisationen gleich viele Messungen durchgeführt werden konnten. Für den Datenvergleich wurde der Mittelwert aus sechs konsekutiven Messungen berechnet und mit dem Mittelwert des korrespondierenden sechsminütigen Intervalls der invasiven Messungen in der A. metatarsalis dorsalis verglichen. Der arterielle Katheter war mit einem präkalibrierten elektronischen Druckwandler über druckstabile, flüssigkeitsgefüllte Infusionsleitungen verbunden und das System wurde regelmäßig mit heparinisierter Kochsalzlösung gespült, um eine Thrombusbildung zu vermeiden. Der Druckwandler wurde auf Höhe der Aortenwurzel positioniert und ein Nullabgleich zum atmosphärischen Druck durchgeführt. Systolischer (SAD), mittlerer (MAD) und diastolischer (DAD) arterieller Druck wurden kontinuierlich gemessen und mithilfe einer Computersoftware aufgezeichnet. Um eine Unter- bzw. Überdämpfung der arteriellen Druckkurve zu detektieren, wurde diese visuell beurteilt sowie regelmäßig „Fast-Flush-Tests“ durchgeführt. Zur Induktion von Hypertension (iMAD > 120 mmHg) oder Hypotension (iMAD < 60 mmHg) wurde Dopamin (10-18 µg/kg/Minute IV) infundiert bzw. die inspiratorische Sevoflurankonzentration erhöht. Darüber hinaus durchliefen die Hunde im Rahmen einer parallelen Studie vier verschiedene anästhetische Protokolle, sodass Blutdruckmessungen im Wachzustand und unter Einfluss verschiedener Anästhetika erhoben werden konnten. Der korrespondierende Herzauswurf wurde mittels Thermodilution bestimmt sowie der systemische Gefäßwiderstandsindex (SVRI) berechnet. Herzauswurf-Baseline-Messungen wurden an wachen Tieren durchgeführt und anhand dieser Messungen der SVRI berechnet. Als Referenzbereich für den SVRI wurde das 99%-Konfidenzintervall der Baseline-Messungen verwendet. Anhand der invasiv gemessenen MAD- bzw. HF-Werte bzw. des berechneten Referenzbereichs des SVRI erfolgte eine Einteilung der Daten in hypo-, normo- und hypertensiv sowie in brady-, normo- und tachykard und in niedrigen, im Referenzbereich liegenden und hohen systemischen Gefäßwiderstand. Die statistische Analyse der Übereinstimmung nichtinvasiver mit invasiven Messungen in unterschiedlichen kardiovaskulären Zuständen erfolgte mittels Bland-Altman Analyse (BLAND u. ALTMAN 1986, 2007). Die Trendfähigkeit der drei Blutdruckmessgeräte wurde anhand der „trending ability“-Methode nach CRITCHLEY et al. (2011) evaluiert. Von 756 Messversuchen wurden insgesamt 752 bzw. 640 bzw. 739 gepaarte Messungen für das HDO-, petMAP- und Doppler-Ultraschall-Gerät erhoben. Das Doppler-Ultraschall-Gerät konnte bei keinem der untersuchten kardiovaskulären Zustände eine gute Übereinstimmung mit invasiv gemessenem Blutdruck erzielen. Es kann dementsprechend nicht für die nichtinvasive Blutdruckmessung bei wachen und anästhetisierten Hunden empfohlen werden. Im Vergleich dazu konnten die oszillometrisch messenden Geräte neben der Normotension vor allem in hypotensiven Zuständen und niedrigen systemischen Gefäßwiderständen in der vorliegenden Studie bezüglich des MAD überzeugen. Dabei war dieser meist der verlässlichste Wert mit der höchsten Genauigkeit. Bei Hypertension und hohem SVRI ist hingegen keines der untersuchten Geräte empfehlenswert. Vor allem der SAD wird von allen drei Geräten in diesen Zuständen massiv unterschätzt. Der invasiv gemessene MAD, welcher bei Hypo- und Normotension sowie bei niedrigem und im Referenzbereich liegenden SVRI einen verlässlichen Wert darstellt, erreicht bei beiden oszillometrisch messenden Geräten bestenfalls eine moderate Übereinstimmung. Aus diesen Gründen kann keine Empfehlung für die Verwendung der untersuchten Geräte bei Hypertension oder hohem SVRI ausgesprochen werden. Es konnte eine gute Trendfähigkeit aller Geräte für den SAD bzw. eine moderate Trendfähigkeit des HDO-Gerätes in Bezug auf den MAD festgestellt werden. Um eine Tendenz des SAD festzustellen, können demnach alle drei Geräte verwendet werden. Für die Detektion einer Blutdruckveränderung des MAD ist lediglich das HDO-Gerät empfehlenswert.

Strategic decisions on electronic business-to-business markets
The subject of this study is the theoretical analysis of strategic decisions of firms interacting on electronic business-to-business markets. The methodological approach is threefold. The chapter on technology adoption provides a model to analyze the firms' timing decision to innovate and adopt an electronic business technology, such as for example collaborative product development tools. The chapter on stable and efficient networks deals with a model on electronic business network formation among heterogeneous firms in order to find an explanation for the firms' recent reluctance to initiate or even participate in electronic markets. The chapter on electronic marketplaces takes a view on competitive impacts of different ownership structures of business-to-business marketplaces. The task is to reflect the observable decline of independent intermediaries together with the advent of collaborative platforms provided by industry consortia.

Alternatives to phosphorus‐containing pincer ligands in catalytic hydrogenation
The development of alternatives to phosphine-containing pincer ligands for homogeneous hydrogenation is described. Ligands of the "NNS" type and their Ru- and Co-complexes were synthesised, characterised, and successfully applied in chemoselective hydrogenations. Complexes of the type RuCl2(NNS)(PPh3) selectively hydrogenated unsaturated aldehydes, ketones and esters. Cobalt complexes CoCl2(NNS), in contrast, were precursors for nanoparticles which selectively hydrogenated olefins. Additionally, the Trost ligand was used for the first time in the asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones.<eng> Die Entwicklung von Alternativen für phosphanhaltige Pincer-Liganden für homogenkatalysierte Hydrierungen wird beschrieben.

Optimised projections for the ab initio simulation of large and strongly correlated systems
Density functional theory (DFT) has become the standard workhorse for quantum mechanical simulations as it offers a good compromise between accuracy and computational cost. However, there are many important systems for which DFT performs very poorly, most notably strongly-correlated materials, resulting in a significant recent growth in interest in 'beyond DFT' methods. The widely used DFT+U technique, in particular, involves the addition of explicit Coulomb repulsion terms to reproduce the physics of spatially-localised electronic subspaces. The magnitude of these corrective terms, measured by the famous Hubbard U parameter, has received much attention but less so for the projections used to delineate these subspaces. The dependence on the choice of these projections is studied in detail here and a method to overcome this ambiguity in DFT+U, by self-consistently determining the projections, is introduced. The author shows how nonorthogonal representations for electronic states may be used to construct these projections and, furthermore, how DFT+U may be implemented with a linearly increasing cost with respect to system size. The use of nonorthogonal functions in the context of electronic structure calculations is extensively discussed and clarified, with new interpretations and results, and, on this topic, this work may serve as a reference for future workers in the field

Study of Electronic Properties of 122 Iron Pnictide Through Structural, Carrier-Doping, and Impurity-Scattering Effects
This thesis presents various characteristics of 122-type iron pnictide (FeSC) such as crystal and electronic structure, carrier-doping effect, and impurity-scattering effect, using transport, magnetization, specific heat, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and optical spectral measurements. Most notably the measurement on the magnetic fluctuation in the material successfully explains already known unusual electronic properties, i.e., superconducting gap symmetry, anisotropy of in-plane resistivity in layered structure, and charge dynamics; and comparing them with those of normal phase, the controversial problems in FeSCs are eventually settled. The thesis provides broad coverage of the physics of FeSCs both in the normal and superconducting phase, and readers therefore benefit from the efficient up-to-date study of FeSCs in this thesis. An additional attraction is the detailed description of the experimental result critical for the controversial problems remaining since the discovery of FeSC in 2008, which helps readers follow up recent developments in superconductor research.

Twisted Teichmüller Curves
These notes introduce a new class of algebraic curves on Hilbert modular surfaces. These curves are called twisted Teichmüller curves, because their construction is very reminiscent of Hirzebruch-Zagier cycles. These new objects are analyzed in detail and their main properties are described. In particular, the volume of twisted Teichmüller curves is calculated and their components are partially classified. The study of algebraic curves on Hilbert modular surfaces has been widely covered in the literature due to their arithmetic importance. Among these, twisted diagonals (Hirzebruch-Zagier cycles) are some of the most important examples Introduction -- Background -- Teichmüller Curves -- Twisted Teichmüller Curves -- Stabilizer and Maximality -- Calculations for Twisted Teichmüller Curves -- Prym Varieties and Teichmüller Curves -- Lyapunov Exponents -- Kobayashi Curves Revisited -- Appendix -- Tables -- List of Symbols -- Index -- Bibliography

Nazism, the Second World War and the Holocaust in contemporary Latin American fiction
"Addressing the question of why many Latin American fiction authors are writing about Nazism, the Second World War and the Holocaust now, this book charts the evolution of Latin American literary production from the 19th Century, through the late 20th century 'Boom', to the present day. Containing texts from Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, it analyses work by some of the most well-known contemporary writers including Roberto Bolaño, Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Jorge Volpi, Lucía Puenzo, Patricio Pron and Michel Laub; as well as notable precursors such as Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Fuentes and Ricardo Piglia. Nazism, the Second World War and the Holocaust in Contemporary Latin American Fiction argues that these authors find Nazism relevant to thinking through some of the most urgent contemporary challenges we face: from racism, to the unequal division of wealth and labour between the Global 'North' and 'South'; and, of course, the general failure of democracy to eliminate fascism"--

Traceability and model management with executable and dynamic hierarchical megamodels
Nowadays, model-driven engineering (MDE) promises to ease software development by decreasing the inherent complexity of classical software development. In order to deliver on this promise, MDE increases the level of abstraction and automation, through a consideration of domain-specific models (DSMs) and model operations (e.g. model transformations or code generations). DSMs conform to domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs), which increase the level of abstraction, and model operations are first-class entities of software development because they increase the level of automation. Nevertheless, MDE has to deal with at least two new dimensions of complexity, which are basically caused by the increased linguistic and technological heterogeneity. The first dimension of complexity is setting up an MDE environment, an activity comprised of the implementation or selection of DSMLs and model operations. Setting up an MDE environment is both time-consuming and error-prone because of the implementation or adaptation of model operations. The second dimension of complexity is concerned with applying MDE for actual software development. Applying MDE is challenging because a collection of DSMs, which conform to potentially heterogeneous DSMLs, are required to completely specify a complex software system. A single DSML can only be used to describe a specific aspect of a software system at a certain level of abstraction and from a certain perspective. Additionally, DSMs are usually not independent but instead have inherent interdependencies, reflecting (partial) similar aspects of a software system at different levels of abstraction or from different perspectives. A subset of these dependencies are applications of various model operations, which are necessary to keep the degree of automation high. This becomes even worse when addressing the first dimension of complexity. Due to continuous changes, all kinds of dependencies, including the applications of model operations, must also be managed continuously. This comprises maintaining the existence of these dependencies and the appropriate (re-)application of model operations. The contribution of this thesis is an approach that combines traceability and model management to address the aforementioned challenges of configuring and applying MDE for software development. The approach is considered as a traceability approach because it supports capturing and automatically maintaining dependencies between DSMs. The approach is considered as a model management approach because it supports managing the automated (re-)application of heterogeneous model operations. In addition, the approach is considered as a comprehensive model management. Since the decomposition of model operations is encouraged to alleviate the first dimension of complexity, the subsequent composition of model operations is required to counteract their fragmentation. A significant portion of this thesis concerns itself with providing a method for the specification of decoupled yet still highly cohesive complex compositions of heterogeneous model operations. The approach supports two different kinds of compositions - data-flow compositions and context compositions. Data-flow composition is used to define a network of heterogeneous model operations coupled by sharing input and output DSMs alone. Context composition is related to a concept used in declarative model transformation approaches to compose individual model transformation rules (units) at any level of detail. In this thesis, context composition provides the ability to use a collection of dependencies as context for the composition of other dependencies, including model operations. In addition, the actual implementation of model operations, which are going to be composed, do not need to implement any composition concerns. The approach is realized by means of a formalism called an executable and dynamic hierarchical megamodel, based on the original idea of megamodels. This formalism supports specifying compositions of dependencies (traceability and model operations). On top of this formalism, traceability is realized by means of a localization concept, and model management by means of an execution concept.

The Garden Suburbs of Cairo : A morphological urban analysis of Zamālik, Ma‘ādī, and Heliopolis
During the British occupation of Egypt in the beginning of the 20th century, several suburban developments were established on the periphery of the city of Cairo. These initially attracted the small British community and later foreigners and Egyptians, mainly from the elite community. These suburban developments, including Ma‘ādī, Zamālik, Heliopolis, Qubbah-Gardens, and Garden City, became the fashionable residential quarters of Cairo. Until now, some of these areas still represent the distinguishable residential settlements of the city. Ma‘ādī, Zamālik, and Heliopolis specifically are nostalgically appropriated in the design of recent suburban developments around Greater Cairo. Some of the 20th century suburban developments around Cairo are labeled or described as “garden cities.” During the early 20th century, two thriving British town planning movements emerged, namely, the garden city movement and the garden suburb movement. This study investigates the hypothesis that these suburban developments, are indeed “garden suburbs” like the British movement, despite that few are labeled or described as “garden cities,”. Although several studies have examined the historical development of such settlements, their relation, however, to the British planning movements and their transfer process received little attention from planning historians. Few studies also analyze the urban design aspects that made these suburban developments distinguishable since their foundation and until today. To guide the validity of this study’s hypothesis, a set of research questions are formulated: (1) What is the difference between the garden city and the garden suburb movements? (2) How were the British planning movements transferred to Egypt? (3) What are the urban design aspects that makes these suburban developments distinguishable as garden suburbs? To answer these research questions, a historical morphological urban analysis is conducted through case studies. The study first studies the difference between the garden city and the garden suburb movements, mainly in Britain, through the analysis of publications on the promoter of both movements: for the garden city, E. Howards’ book “The Garden City of Tomorrow,” published in 1902, and for the garden suburb, R. Unwin’s books “Town Planning in Practice,” published in 1909, and “Nothing Gained from Overcrowding,” published in 1912. Then a morphological urban analysis of Letchworth Garden City and Brentham Garden Suburb, considered the first examples of each movement, is conducted. In order to analyze the transfer process, the study adopts M. Volait and J. Nasr’s theory on transporting planning, through investigating the authority in power responsible for the establishment of these suburban developments. This is followed by the morphological urban analysis of three suburban developments around Cairo, namely, Zamālik, Ma‘ādī, and Heliopolis. The morphological analysis focuses on the background of their establishment, authority in power responsible for the development, design principles, urban context, street typology, residential block typology, social infrastructure, and social target group. Finally, the study compares between Brentham, Letchworth, Zamālik, Ma‘ādī, and Heliopolis. The comparative analysis aims to highlight the differences between the studied cases of Cairo and how they are different from or alike the British movements. This study concludes that the suburban developments around Cairo during the British occupation, are in fact garden suburbs, despite that some are being described or labeled as garden city. This movement was exported via urban land development companies with foreign European capital, rather than via colonial dominance. It finally highlights a set of urban design aspects that distinguish them as garden suburbs of Cairo. This study hopes to support future conservation plan of these areas and the design of future suburban developments.

Emotional bodily experience, depressivity and eating disorder symptoms : the role of culture. A new assessment tool for clinical applications
The present dissertation is aimed at developing a conceptualization and operationalization of emotional bodily experience (EBE) that be clinically useful, and able to distinguish between genders, and adaptive and maladaptive forms of bodily experience in association with depressivity and eating disorder symptoms. It is also aimed at exploring how culture shapes emotional bodily experience of individuals. Thus, a first part corresponds to the development of the notion of emotional bodily experience built upon the phenomenology of the body and the phenomenology of affectivity. Likewise, it was also proposed the hypothesis of the embodied defense for the comprehension of eating disorder psychopathology. Secondly, the development and validation of the Emotional Bodily Experience Questionnaire (EBEQ) was conducted through three different studies: A first study aimed at the operationalization of the EBE construct into a self-report questionnaire, a second study for the validation of the preliminary theoretical structure of the questionnaire, and a third study testing the psychometric properties of the final structure of EBEQ. Finally, a third part of this dissertation was aimed at testing the association of EBEQ with clinical and cultural variables. The methodology used was cross-sectional, comparative and exploratory while this investigation is rising a new variable (EBEQ) which it is expected to be a first step for further research. Two samples were recruited: a Chilean sample of 402 young adults, and a German sample of 50 young adults. Results present a final version of 27 items and 6 scales of EBEQ with good psychometric properties, reliability and validation indexes. Likewise, satisfactory ability for distinguishing between groups was observed. It gives support to the hypotheses about gender differences with higher levels of attention to the body and higher levels of affect intensity of bodily experiences for women compared with men. Likewise, EBEQ showed satisfactory ability to distinguish between a clinical sample (27 females referred to a specialized treatment with a diagnosis of eating disorder (ED)) and a non-clinical sample (183 females from general population sample). ED patients showed usually paying more attention to their bodies, paying more attention to their bodies when feeling negative emotions, and at contexts of public exposure. Non-clinical sample showed an overall significantly higher level of affect intensity of bodily experiences than ED patients. Otherwise, it was observed significant positive associations between depressivity and attention to bodily signals of negative emotions (ABRS), and between ABRS and ED symptoms within the Chilean sample from general population. A significant mediation effect was observed of ABRS in the association between depressivity and eating disorders giving support to the hypothesis of the embodied defense which proposes that ED symptoms express a defense mechanism against negative emotions by means of an increased attentional focus on the body retaining by this means a sense of safety and control. Finally, comparison of emotional bodily experience between Germans and Chileans showed Chileans paying significantly higher attention to their bodily signals of basic emotions and of negative emotions than Germans. By its part Germans showed paying usually more attention both to their bodies and to the environment than Chileans. There was a significant and positive association between attentional focus on bodily signals of negative emotions and ED symptoms with a significant moderating role of culture, while this association remains significant for Chileans but not for Germans. The role of emotional bodily experience on gender, clinical and cultural variables is discussed highlighting the relevance for the development and validation of psychotherapeutic approaches which considers the relevance of bodily experience on the expression of psychopathology. It is also discussed future directions for the study of adaptive and maladaptive forms of EBE and the role of implicit and explicit forms of bodily awareness, with attentional focus on the body taking part of the explicit form.

Quantum chemical investigation towards Raman enhancement effects
A well-known drawback of Raman spectroscopy is the low signal intensity. Therefore, the present thesis aims to elucidate the fundamental principles in state-of-the-art signalenhanced Raman spectroscopy, i.e. resonance Raman (RR), surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS). Firstly, a new approach to evaluate RR scattering is discussed. This new approach, called real-time method, can evaluate the polarizabilitiy tensor in the time domain. The new method is benchmarked by being compared to other two well-known methods. All three methods give comparable results, and consequently, the novel computational approach is validated. Afterwards, the chemical e_ect of SERS is studied by means of a theoretical spectroscopic analysis of the cis/trans-isomers of a molecular switch, the penta-2,4-dienoic acid, attached to gold clusters of di_erent size (1, 2 and 20 gold atoms). By simulation of vibrational (IR, Raman and RR) and electronic spectroscopy (UV-vis), the e_ect of the molecule-metal nanoparticle interaction can be studied. Special emphasis is put on the resonance Raman spectra for the study of the isomers. In the present case, resonance Raman scattering is best suited to discriminate between the isomers on the gold clusters. Finally a full quantum chemical description of the non-resonant chemical e_ects of the Raman spectrum of an adenine molecule mapped by a silver tip is presented. The tip is modeled as a single silver atom and as a small silver cluster. Pronounced changes in the Raman pattern and its intensities depending on the conformation of the nanoparticlesubstrate system are found, concluding that the spatial resolution of the chemical contribution in TERS can be in the sub-nm range.

Datenschutzprinzipien in IKT-basierten kritischen Infrastrukturen : die Formalisierung der datenschutzrechtlichen Einwilligung in Smart Metering Systemen
The future´s energy supply will be based on a smart network between all actors of the energy market. This results in the extensive communication of personal energy data from private households. In order to achieve the goals of the energy revolution, interests concerning the environment and climate protection will have to be conciliated with those regarding the protection of consumers´ data.In this context, Smart Metering focuses on the details of privacy consent. Before the declaration of consent, the consumer has to be informed comprehensively and understandably about the data communication processes in the energy market to achieve the validity of the given consent. This work offers a solution applying the methods of legal informatics to realize transparency for consumers and the establishment of a smart energy supply. Die Energieversorgung der Zukunft wird auf einer intelligenten Vernetzung sämtlicher Akteure des Energiemarktes beruhen. Damit einher geht die umfangreiche Kommunikation von personenbezogenen Energiedaten aus den Haushalten der Verbraucher. Zur Umsetzung der Ziele der Energiewende sind daher umwelt- und klimapolitische Belange mit der Wahrung der datenschutzrechtlichen Interessen der Verbraucher in Einklang zu bringen.Im Fokus des Smart Metering steht dabei auch die datenschutzrechtliche Einwilligung. Vor deren Erteilung muss der Verbraucher umfassend und verständlich über komplexe Kommunikationsprozesse des Energiemarktes informiert werden, um die Wirksamkeit seiner erklärten Einwilligung zu erzielen. Die Arbeit stellt daher Lösungswege mit Hilfe der Rechtsinformatik vor, die sowohl die erforderliche Transparenz für Verbraucher als auch die Etablierung einer intelligenten Stromversorgung realisieren sollen.

Bank capital and risk-taking : the impact of capital regulation, charter value, and the business cycle
The year-long consultations on Basel II mirror the international popularity of capital requirements as a regulatory instrument. Yet, the impact of capital requirements on banks' behavior is not fully understood. The aim of this study is to contribute to this understanding by answering the following questions: How do banks adjust capital and risk after an increase in capital requirements? How do banks adjust their regulatory capital buffer over the business cycle? And, what is the impact of banks' charter value on the regulatory capital buffer?
