Nonlinear Parsimonious Modeling with Information Filtering Networks: Theory and Practice
(2025-11-06)This thesis offers a comprehensive exploration and methodological advancement of Information Filtering Networks (IFNs), emphasizing Triangulated Maximally Filtered Graphs (TMFG), Local-Global (LoGo) models, and their ... -
International aid for biodiversity conservation policy in Central Africa: symbolic politics, empowerment and implications for inequalities
(2025-11-05)The Congo Basin Forest in Central Africa is the world's second largest tropical rainforest and is widely recognised as a global public good. Since the 1980s, international aid for biodiversity conservation in the region ... -
Capturing exciton wavefunctions by time-resolved photoemission orbital tomography
(2025-11-05)Excitons are realizations of a correlated many-body wavefunction, consisting of a Coulomb-bound electron and hole pair. They are the dominant excitations in semiconducting organic and low-dimensional quantum materials and ... -
A real effective version of the Freĭman-Scourfield Theorem
(2025-11-04)We study the solvability of a Diophantine equation with mixed real exponents for sufficiently large natural numbers. The connection to a condition on the sum over the reciprocals of the exponents was first shown by Freĭman ... -
Monitoring of Fusarium species on oats in Germany - identification, mycotoxin production and cultivar effects
(2025-11-04)The use of oats in human nutrition has increased in recent years due to their beneficial nutritional components. Nonetheless, with the implementation of new legal limits, elevated levels of mycotoxins in the harvested ... -
Optimierung der Diagnostik von der Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung und der komplexen Posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung nach ICD-11
(2025-10-30)The establishment of the diagnosis of complex post-traumatic stress disorder (cPTSD) in the new classification system (ICD-11) has brought with it new diagnostic procedures. However, these procedures do not differentiate ... -
Role of bacterial rhamnolipids in plant tolerance to abiotic stresses
(2025-10-29)Rhamnolipids (RLs), glycolipids produced by Pseudomonas and Burkholderia species, have been described as potential biocontrol agents due to their antagonistic activity against pathogens and their ability to induce plant ... -
Bringing bioinformatics to the bench: SubtiWiki 5.0 and new web tools for research
(2025-10-29)Model organisms are central to biological research, as their study provides crucial insights into fundamental processes of life and enables biotechnological applications. The intensive research on these organisms spans ... -
Towards a Dynamic Irrigation Representation in Land Surface Models
(2025-10-29)Irrigation is crucial for sustaining agricultural productivity and food security, accounting for over 70% of global freshwater withdrawals. Beyond stabilizing crop yields, it increasingly serves as a key climate adaptation ... -
Complex Coacervation of Disordered Proteins: focus on α-Synuclein and Polyamines
(2025-10-28)The discovery of phase-separated bodies in cells has revealed an additional mesoscale layer of organisation in cellular and molecular biology. The enrichment of RNA in these biomolecular condensates suggests that charge ... -
Classifying spaces for quasi-topological groups
(2025-10-24)This thesis provides a quick introduction into quasi-topological spaces, first introduced by Spanier. It then constructs notions of numerable principal G-bundles in the quasi-topological case and constructs a quasi-topological ... -
Addressing Habits in Anorexia Nervosa
(2025-10-23)Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is a mental disorder that affects up to 0.3% of men and 6.2% of women worldwide and places a significant burden on the individual, their social environment and the healthcare system. Although ... -
Electron-Heralded Parametric Photon Generation
(2025-10-23)Recent research on quantum phenomena has shown great potential to enhance modern technology by increasing computation speed and enabling secure data encryption. Its underlying technological advancements rely on the efficient ... -
Self-assembly-induced optical properties of carbohydrate derivatives
(2025-10-16)Structural color is a fascinating form of coloration generating from the interaction between incident light and periodic structures at a length scale comparable to the optical wavelength. Unlike the mechanism of structural ... -
Analysis of small RNA-based regulatory effects on heterosis and genome-wide association study of flowering time in Brassica napus L.
(2025-10-16)Brassica napus L., commonly known as oilseed rape, is an allotetraploid that originated ~7500 years ago by natural hybridization between two diploid progenitors, Brassica rapa and Brassica oleracea. Oilseed rape is extensively ... -
