Die Bio-Tierhaltung aus Sicht der Gesellschaft
(2024-11-15)The aim of this dissertation was to assess citizens’ expectations and trust in organic animal husbandry and to identify expectation–reality gaps in organic animal farming. Strengthening consumer trust is an important aspect ... -
Static and Dynamic Reservoir Characterization of the Heterogeneous Upper Jurassic Carbonate Reservoir Beneath the German Alpine Foreland Basin: A case study on a Premature Thermal Breakthrough Southeast of Munich
(2024-11-12)This study investigates the causes of an unexpected Premature Thermal Breakthrough (PTB) in a geothermal doublet located southeast of Munich. The PTB occurred after only three years of operation, which contradicts previous ... -
Restoration of coniferous monocultures towards mixed broad-leaved forests in Central Europe – Patterns and processes of stand and vegetation diversification
(2024-11-05)Globally, forests provide essential ecosystem services to society, but their functionality is increasingly impaired by abiotic and biotic disturbances that are expected to further increase with predicted climate change. ... -
Molecular Investigations on Spastic Paresis and Other Inheritable Bovine Diseases
(2024-10-30)Genetic mutations often cause serious diseases associated with severe animal suffering. Today, molecular methods enable efficient research and prevent spreading of disease alleles in cattle populations. The main objective ... -
Structure and Kinematics of the Broad-Line Region in Selected Changing-Look AGN
(2024-10-18)In this thesis, the results of three variability studies conducted on three individual active galactic nuclei (AGN) are presented. Each of these AGN belongs to the class of changing-look (CL) AGN, which are characterized ... -
The role of pragmatics in early word learning
(2024-10-10)Young children show remarkable abilities in learning words from highly ambiguous surroundings. Regardless how many languages they learn, they seem to have no effort in linking a novel word to its correct meaning. ... -
Novel machine learning solutions for precision medicine - from causal inference to cellular perturbations and interactions
(2024-10-04)Optimal therapy of complex diseases necessitates a shift from one-size-fits-all solutions towards personalized treatment plans. To achieve this, it is crucial to understand the casual effect of medical interventions, such ... -
Mechanistic Studies on flat and stepped Palladium Single Crystal Surfaces: Experimental Evidence of Reaction Intermediates for the Decomposition of Formic Acid and Oxidation of Ammonia
(2024-10-04)In this work, experimental and theoretical investigations of formic acid desorption, decomposition and ammonia oxidation on single crystal palladium surfaces are presented. The formic acid system is investigated using a ... -
Laboratory studies of partially saturated infiltration dynamics in analog fractured porous rock systems - under consideration of fracture-matrix interaction and network geometry
(2024-08-09)Fractured porous rocks are abundant groundwater reservoir formations often covered by a thick, unsaturated zone. The interplay between fractures and rock matrix can significantly impede infiltration, particularly when the ... -
Influence of clock gene homologs and Pseudomonas spp. on Verticillium dahliae development and host plant interaction
(2024-08-09)The soil-borne phytopathogenic fungus Verticillium dahliae requires a tight regulation to form different developmental structures for infection, colonization of the plant vasculature and survival in soil. The fungal life ... -
Bewertung von Tierwohlindikatoren für Mastschweine
(2024-08-05)The welfare of farm animals is a subject of controversial debate in the economy, politics, society and science. Methods for the assessment of animal welfare are an important component in objectifying the discussion. With ... -
Temporal-Spatial Variabilities and Influencing Factors of Terrestrial Wet-Dry States and Vegetation Development: A Case Study in Northeast China
(2024-08-05)The number of hydroclimate disasters has increased dramatically since the late 20th century with profound changes in the environment. The Meteorological Drought Index facilitates long-term monitoring of wet-dry trends and ... -
Self-Organization of Filamentous Cyanobacteria
(2024-07-29)Cyanobacteria are phototrophic prokaryotes that occur in almost any natural habitat on Earth, from polar to tropical climates, from the Archaean to the present. Roughly 2.5 billion years ago, they have generated the ... -
Agricultural biodiversity and associated services across rural-urban landscapes
(2024-07-18)Urbanization is a primary threat to biodiversity and the functioning of both natural and agro-ecosystems. Especially in the Global South, expanding cities increasingly encroach fertile agricultural lands, questioning the ... -
High‐precision Strontium Isotope Measurements - From the Early Solar System to the Age of the Moon
(2024-07-12)Variations in the isotopic composition of extraterrestrial rocks provide crucial information about the nature and evolution of planetary building blocks, the Earth, and the Moon. In this thesis, strontium isotopic compositions ... -
Genetic analysis of saturated fatty acid composition and other seed quality traits in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)
(2024-06-20)Genetic improvement of seed oil content and oil quality had been the main objective of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) breeders until recently, when interest in improving rapeseed meal (RSM) as a secondary trait increased. ... -
