(Mis)Guiding consumers to sustainable consumption: the role of information, labels and claims
(2025-02-06)This dissertation uses plant-based meat and dairy alternatives (PBMDAs) as a food category example, and palm oil as a case study ingredient, to illustrate how consumer communication on food products can influence assumptions ... -
Microbial Communities in the Terrestrial Subsurface
(2025-01-23)Terrestrial subsurface habitats represent a significant portion of Earth's prokaryotic biomass. However, our understanding of microbial diversity and functions in these environments, particularly in arid regions, remains ... -
Genetic variation and inheritance of seed fiber components in oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.)
(2025-01-13)Oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) is a major oil crop and a valuable protein source for animal and human nutrition. The oil-extracted meal of oilseed rape has a high protein content and a well-balanced amino acid composition. ... -
CO2-Bindung in landwirtschaftlichen Böden durch Humusaufbau - Untersuchungen zur Teilnahmebereitschaft landwirtschaftlicher UnternehmerInnen an Humusprogrammen
(2024-12-19)In order to counteract climate change, it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the existing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Agricultural soils have a great potential to store carbon ... -
The onset of planet formation inferred from isotope anomalies in meteorites
(2024-12-18)Variations in the isotopic compositions of extraterrestrial samples provide important insights into the formation of planetesimals—the fundamental building blocks of planets. Particularly, isotopic anomalies of nucleosynthetic ... -
Stochastic (thermo)dynamics of molecular coupled processes
(2024-12-18)Out of equilibrium biological processes are the key for life. From large animals to the smallest proteins, life is sustained by a continuous throughput of free energy. This happens through the exchange of some form of ... -
Structural basis of human mitochondrial RNA processing
(2024-12-16)Mitochondrial transcription produces polycistronic transcripts, in which ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and messenger RNA (mRNA) regions are interspersed with transfer RNA (tRNA) sequences. Endonucleolytic cleavages at the 5' and ... -
Analysing the Effects of Social Protection Policies on Climate Change Adaptation, Food and Nutrition Security
(2024-12-09)Social protection is gaining recognition as a strategy to address various underlying causes of poverty in developing countries, with increasing population coverage and social protection systems more frequently becoming ... -
Betriebswirtschaftliche Auswirkungen von Alternativen zur betäubungslosen Ferkelkastration
(2024-12-09)Piglet castration without anaesthesia has long been a common practice in pig farming to avoid boar taint in meat and to produce a homogeneous carcass. Due to the growing societal awareness of animal welfare, this practice ... -
Evaluating the potential of I-type cosmic spherules as a proxy for the Δ’17O of atmospheric O2 for reconstructing paleo-CO2 levels and GPP throughout the Phanerozoic
(2024-12-09)Entirely molten micrometeorites, termed I-type cosmic spherules, are micrometer to millimeter-sized remnants of extraterrestrial Fe, Ni-rich metal that can be recovered on Earth. I-type cosmic spherules acquire all oxygen ... -
Modeling and Optimization of Animal Breeding Programs
(2024-11-22)Simulation software can be used to model and optimize breeding programs. In the current work, the “Modular Breeding Program Simulator” (MoBPS) was applied to demonstrate this on three examples from layer, horse and pig ... -
Comparative analyses of stress-induced dynamics in global differential gene expression across more than 550 million years of streptophyte evolution
(2024-11-22)The transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats was a major evolutionary step in the evolution of plants. It ushered in the birth of embryophytes. This transition occurred before the last common ancestor (LCA) of land ... -
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 ... -
