Taking a secong look - Revising the effects of process and outcome accountability
(2022-12-12)Accountability is an essential aspect of human judgment and decision-making. Past research has claimed that different forms of accountability have differential effects on the quality of the decisions people make. Specifically, ... -
Targeting and Anchoring of Munc13-1 and ubMunc13-2 to active zones by RIM1alpha
(2005-11-23)Members of the Unc-13/Munc13 protein family are components of the presynaptic active zone and essential vesicle priming factors in regulated exocytosis. They are thought to mediate vesicle ... -
Targeting gene therapy to neuroinfalmmatory lesions in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
(2005-03-18)The blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the central nervous system (CNS) from harmful substances but at the same time is an obstacle to therapy by blocking the transport of drugs into brain ... -
Taxonomic and Functional Characterization of Biopolymer-degrading Microbial Communities in the Intestinal Tract of Beavers
(2019-05-09)The mammalian gut harbors a complex and specialized microbiota, which includes all tree domains of life (Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya). Bacteria are the most abundant group within the gut system, and they take part in ... -
Taxonomic revision of the genus <Sticherus> (Gleicheniaceae - Pteridophyta) in the Neotropics
(2003-11-24)Sticherus (Gleicheniaceae, Pteridophyta) is a pantropical genus of about 95 species, characterized by dormant buds with scales, 1-forked veinlets in the segments, (2)3-5(7) sporangia per sorus, and pinnatifid or pinnate ... -
Taxonomy and Symbiosis in Associations of Physciaceae and Trebouxia
(2003-12-10)The lichenized ascomycete family of the Physciaceae and their compatible photobionts were investigated, using nrITS sequencing. Fresh or herbarium material collected world wide, representing ... -
The access to causal relations in semantic memory
(2002-11-13)In my dissertation I investigated the dissociation between the causal model view and the associationistic view of the representation of causal relations in semantic memory. The associationistic ... -
The allocation of attentional resources across the visual field: Impact of eccentricity and perceptual load
(2008-07-18)Every second our cognitive system is confronted with complex visual scenes that contain a variety of different objects. As a result of the limited processing capacity of the visual system, ... -
The Arabidopsis C/S1 bacic leucine Zipper transcription factor network:Impact of heterodimer formation on target gene transcription
(2011-01-14)Heterodimerisation of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors (TFs) is proposed to play a crucial role in regulation of gene expression. To analyse bZIP heterodimerisation of ... -
The benefit of collaboration: Disentangling the sources of synergy in group judgments
(2022-02-11)The performance of groups is often seen skeptical because in many tasks, groups seem to be unable to reach their full potential. However, recent research points to one task domain, where the implementation of groups might ... -
The butterfly community of a managed West African rainforest: patterns of habitat specificity, diversity, stratification and movement.
(2002-09-30)Fruit trapping, standardised transect walks and point distance sampling were used to study the butterfly fauna of a managed, over-logged rainforest in south-eastern Côte d"Ivoire, West ... -
The Chemical Ecology of Primate Seed Dispersal
(2016-04-06)Many tropical angiosperms rely on frugivores for seed dispersal and evolved fleshy fruits to attract them. Although both sides of the interaction are generalists, frugivores do not feed on the full range of fruit species ... -
The complex formation of RNase P and RNase MRP in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(2024-03-06)Ribonucleoproteins comprise a class of complexes that consist of RNAs and proteins. Riobozymes are catalytically active ribonucleoproteins that play a key role in the maturation of various RNAs. A prominent example is ... -
The Consequences of Disregarding Advice in Judge-Advisor Systems
(2017-07-24)Research on advice giving and taking in the judge-advisor system (JAS) has focused on judges' attitudes and behavior. Advisors have not received much attention. Therefore, little is known about whether and how advisors' ... -
The conservation biology of the leopard (Panthera pardus)in Gabon
(2009-06-23)The leopard (Panthera pardus) has the greatest geographic distribution of the wild cats, and is the most abundant large felid in Africa. Tropical rainforests comprise a large part of ... -
The costs and benefits of sociality in semi-free ranging Barbary macaques (Macaca sylvanus)
(2019-03-04)Parasite infections are ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom, and increased risk of parasite transmission has been suggested as one of the major costs of group living. With bigger group size and higher interaction ... -
The development of an integrated database of the model organism Bacillus subtilis
(2016-01-25)In the era of “Omics” approaches, the available data is exponentially increasing and new methods must be invented to handle this data. For this purpose, databases store, maintain and provide the data, and algorithms ... -
The Development of Recursive Meta-Representational Theory of Mind
(2023-06-02)Domain-general theories of Theory of Mind development assume that the ability to understand mental states (representations) as such is based on a fundamental understanding of representa-tions as representations ... -
The Diversity of TLR4-triggered Responses in Mouse Microglia
(2010-10-08)Microglia are the major immunocompetent effector cells of the CNS. Steadily monitoring their neighborhood they are always ready to transform to activated states upon encounters with ... -
The E2F1-responsive microRNA-449 promotes apoptosis
(2011-07-22)E2F1 is a positive regulator of cell cycle progression and also a potent inducer of apoptosis, especially when activated by DNA damage. To identify E2F1-inducible microRNAs, I performed ...
