Flip - Reading processes when reading mirrored script
(2023-03-03)There is a common consensus that orthographic processing is deeply rooted in the structure of the visual system. One central aspect that is particularly important in visual processing is mirror-generalization, which is the ... -
Regulation of inter-sexual relationships within the microcosm of Guinea baboon units
(2023-03-03)Male reproductive success is linked in most animals to their access to fertile females. Resulting competition among males presents a strong selective pressure on male reproductive strategies. In species with female choice ... -
Unmasking the perception of temporal successions
(2023-03-02)Temporal and masking research share theoretical, methodological and empirical similarities indicating that they might investigate a similar aspect of our neural functioning. Nevertheless, temporal and masking mechanisms ... -
Diversity and Trophic Ecology of Arboreal Spider (Araneae) Assemblages along a Transformation Gradient from Lowland Rainforest to Oil Palm Plantations in Jambi Province, Sumatra, Indonesia
(2023-03-02)In chapter 2, I investigated the canopy spider abundance, biomass, richness and community composition across a land-use gradient from tropical lowland rainforest via jungle rubber to monocultures of rubber and oil palm. ... -
AntisenseRNA mediated gene regulation via double stranded RNA formation
(2023-03-01)The flow of genetic information in eukaryotic cells is established through transcription from the nuclear DNA into messenger (m)RNA, which travels into the cytoplasm for translation into proteins, the functional units of ... -
Mental Health Professionals’ Attitudes towards Evidence-Based Practice and usage of Evidence-Based Practices for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder in Bangladesh and Germany
(2023-02-24)Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is recognized as the leading mental health-related cause of the global burden of disease with lifelong effects on affected children and adolescents (Baxter et al., 2015; Li et al., 2022; Lord ... -
Mother-infant relationships in wild Guinea baboons (Papio papio)
(2023-02-16)During infancy, primates are heavily dependent on their mothers for nursing, transport, and thermoregulation, but also benefit from associating with their mothers for protection and social support. Furthermore, the mother ... -
Evaluating morphological and metrical methods for sex estimation on isolated human skeletal material
(2023-02-13)The primary goal of this study is to estimate the sex of human skeletal materials using morphological and metrical methods described in the forensic and anthropological literature with molecular testing performed on Inden ... -
Molecular Mechanisms of Frequency Discrimination in the Drosophila Ear
(2023-01-24)Since the first confirmed evidence of potassium ions crossing the membrane to the first cloned and identified potassium channel from Drosophila melanogaster, the studies of potassium channels have extensively broadened our ... -
Effects of Visual Masking and Crowding on Stimulus Visibility and Processing
(2023-01-10)The visibility of visual stimuli can be manipulated by various methods such as visual masking or crowding in such a way that the viewer can no longer identify the stimulus. Despite these circumstances, the stimuli can be ... -
Bagger or Bär? The influence of individual interests on early word learning
(2023-01-03)Young children are remarkable word learners: At the end of the first year of life, typically developing children only produce a handful of words, but their vocabularies grow many times over during the second and third year ... -
Robust phylogenomic inference through genome skimming as demonstrated by a systematic analysis of Nereididae
(2022-12-16)The introduction of massively parallel sequencing in the mid-2000s has truly revolutionized the field of molecular phylogenetics and ultimately our understanding of the tree of life. Despite today's existence of long-read ... -
Exploring the roles of RNAPII in genome organization
(2022-12-16)The role of RNAPII in 3D genome organization has been heavily debated over the last two decades. Here, in situ Hi-C and Micro-C data were used to conclusively address this debate. I discovered that: 1) using cell population ... -
Computational methods for de novo assembly and sequencing error correction of short reads in the era of (viral) metagenomics
(2022-12-15)Viruses can affect all types of living cells, including bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes. Especially in the form of bacteriophages - bacteria infecting viruses - they have a huge impact on their host communities, driving ... -
Ecological groups of Collembola in agroecosystems as affected by farm-based management practices
(2022-12-15)Present day agriculture is identified as a main threat to biodiversity. At the same time, the productivity of agricultural systems is relying on ecosystem services provided by biota. In order to conserve critical ecosystem ... -
Role of N-glycosylation for the function of E-cadherin in tissue morphogenesis
(2022-12-14)E-cadherin is central to the formation, stabilization, and maturation of adherens junctions, which serve to physically link epithelial cells and transmit mechanical pulling forces from the outside to the actomyosin cortex ... -
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, ... -
Molecular mechanisms of replication stress-induced mitotic chromosome missegregation
(2022-12-09)Chromosomal instability (CIN), the process of the generation of structural and numerical changes in the karyotype, is a major hallmark of human cancer generating genetic variation, thereby driving tumor evolution and ... -
Characterization of the invasion of hematopoietic myeloid cells into the CNS during EAE
(2022-12-01)Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), the classical animal model of multiple sclerosis, is caused by T cells directed against myelin antigens. Upon intravenous transfer, these cells appear in the vessels of the ... -
Emergent processes as means of uncertainty reduction in group decision making
(2022-11-29)This dissertation investigates how emergent processes can reduce uncertainty in group decision making.Emergent processes are processes that arise from individual characteristics and social interactions and result in higher ...
