Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease that causes disability in the adult population. While the etiology and pathogenesis of OA remain unclear, it is now commonly accepted that the entire joint is affected by OA. The deep zone of hyaline articula...

Technologischer Fortschritt basiert stehts auf dem Entdecken bisher unbekannter Effekte, jedoch werden heutzutage zur Beschreibung experimenteller Beobachtungen aufgrund steigender Komplexität auch fortschrittlichere Modelle benötigt. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden Meth...

In this thesis, the combination of classical photonic structures and well known solidstate quantum emitters was established as a method for deterministic and scalable creation of a light-matter interface.

Chemical modification of native biomacromolecules requires particularly mild reaction conditions: close to neutral pH, aqueous solvents, and physiological temperature. Moreover, the applied strategy has to be inert towards reactive functional groups abundant in peptides...

Nanocarriers have brought several medical advances through better diagnostics and improved drug therapy. Yet, many promising preclinical findings were never translated into clinical success, consequently slowing drug development, and increasing its financial burden. By ...

Abstract Millimeter wave (mmWave) and sub-terahertz (sub-THz) communication systems rely mainly on the availability of dominant links between the transmitters and receivers. The sensitivity of high-frequency radio links to random blockages, however, challenges the achie...

In many applications, the data can be represented by covariance matrices or correlation matrices between several signals (EEG, MEG, fMRI), physical quantities (cells, genes), or within a time window (autocorrelation). The set of covariance matrices forms a convex cone t...

To face the current situation of climate change caused by human activities, many states set the goal to reach zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050 in order to contain the increase of the mean earth temperature in an acceptable range. To reach such an ambitious goa...

Abstract The room temperature fabrication method for electroceramics allows manufacturing of relatively dense ceramic bodies with competent microwave dielectric properties. It is based on the use of water-soluble ceramic materials and pressure as the driving force for c...

Thinking of fisheries as a system is a relatively new approach in fisheries science and management. As part of my contribution to this perspective, this thesis uses mental models as a new approach to gain insights into how individuals conceptualize fisheries. Mental mod...
