  abstract  = {R{\"a}umlich-zeitliche Daten sind Daten, welche sowohl einen Raum- als auch einen Zeitbezug aufweisen. So k{\"o}nnen beispielsweise Zeitreihen von Geodaten, thematische Karten die sich {\"u}ber die Zeit ver{\"a}ndern, oder Bewegungsaufzeichnungen von sich bewegenden Objekten als r{\"a}umlich-zeitliche Daten aufgefasst werden. In der heutigen automatisierten Welt gibt es eine wachsende Anzahl von Datenquellen, die best{\"a}ndig r{\"a}umlich-zeitliche Daten generieren. Hierzu geh{\"o}ren beispielsweise Verkehrs{\"u}berwachungssysteme, die Bewegungsdaten von Menschen oder Fahrzeugen aufzeichnen, Fernerkundungssysteme, welche regelm{\"a}ßig unsere Umgebung scannen und digitale Abbilder wie z.B. Stadt- und Landschaftsmodelle erzeugen, sowie Sensornetzwerke in unterschiedlichsten Anwendungsgebieten, wie z.B. der Logistik, der Verhaltensforschung von Tieren, oder der Klimaforschung. Zur Analyse r{\"a}umlich-zeitlicher Daten werden neben der automatischen Analyse mittels statistischer Methoden und Data-Mining auch explorative Methoden angewendet, welche auf der interaktiven Visualisierung der Daten beruhen. Diese Methode der Analyse basiert darauf, dass Anwender in Form interaktiver Visualisierung die Daten explorieren k{\"o}nnen, wodurch die menschliche Wahrnehmung sowie das Wissen der User genutzt werden, um Muster zu erkennen und dadurch einen Einblick in die Daten zu erlangen. Diese Arbeit beschreibt ein Software-Framework f{\"u}r die Visualisierung r{\"a}umlich-zeitlicher Daten, welches GPU-basierte Techniken beinhaltet, um eine interaktive Visualisierung und Exploration großer r{\"a}umlich-zeitlicher Datens{\"a}tze zu erm{\"o}glichen. Die entwickelten Techniken umfassen Datenhaltung, Prozessierung und Rendering und erm{\"o}glichen es, große Datenmengen in Echtzeit zu prozessieren und zu visualisieren. Die Hauptbeitr{\"a}ge der Arbeit umfassen: - Konzept und Implementierung einer GPU-zentrierten Visualisierungspipeline. Die beschriebenen Techniken basieren auf dem Konzept einer GPU-zentrierten Visualisierungspipeline, in welcher alle Stufen -- Prozessierung,Mapping, Rendering -- auf der GPU ausgef{\"u}hrt werden. Bei diesem Konzept werden die r{\"a}umlich-zeitlichen Daten direkt im GPU-Speicher abgelegt. W{\"a}hrend des Rendering-Prozesses werden dann mittels Shader-Programmen die Daten prozessiert, gefiltert, ein Mapping auf visuelle Attribute vorgenommen, und schließlich die Geometrien f{\"u}r die Visualisierung erzeugt. Datenprozessierung, Filtering und Mapping k{\"o}nnen daher in Echtzeit ausgef{\"u}hrt werden. Dies erm{\"o}glicht es Usern, die Mapping-Parameter sowie den gesamten Visualisierungsprozess interaktiv zu steuern und zu kontrollieren. - Interaktive Visualisierung attributierter 3D-Trajektorien. Es wurde eine Visualisierungsmethode f{\"u}r die interaktive Exploration einer großen Anzahl von 3D Bewegungstrajektorien entwickelt. Die Trajektorien werden dabei innerhalb einer virtuellen geographischen Umgebung in Form von einfachen Geometrien, wie Linien, B{\"a}ndern, Kugeln oder R{\"o}hren dargestellt. Durch interaktives Mapping k{\"o}nnen Attributwerte der Trajektorien oder einzelner Messpunkte auf visuelle Eigenschaften abgebildet werden. Hierzu stehen Form, H{\"o}he, Gr{\"o}ße, Farbe, Textur, sowie Animation zur Verf{\"u}gung. Mithilfe dieses dynamischen Mappings wurden außerdem verschiedene Visualisierungsmethoden implementiert, wie z.B. eine Focus+Context-Visualisierung von Trajektorien mithilfe von interaktiven Dichtekarten, sowie einer Space-Time-Cube-Visualisierung zur Darstellung des zeitlichen Ablaufs einzelner Bewegungen. - Interaktive Visualisierung geographischer Netzwerke. Es wurde eine Visualisierungsmethode zur interaktiven Exploration geo-referenzierter Netzwerke entwickelt, welche die Visualisierung von Netzwerken mit einer großen Anzahl von Knoten und Kanten erm{\"o}glicht. Um die Analyse von Netzwerken verschiedener Gr{\"o}ßen und in unterschiedlichen Kontexten zu erm{\"o}glichen, stehen mehrere virtuelle geographische Umgebungen zur Verf{\"u}gung, wie bspw. ein virtueller 3D-Globus, als auch 2D-Karten mit unterschiedlichen geographischen Projektionen. Zur interaktiven Analyse dieser Netzwerke stehen interaktive Tools wie Filterung, Mapping und Selektion zur Verf{\"u}gung. Des weiteren wurden Visualisierungsmethoden f{\"u}r verschiedene Arten von Netzwerken, wie z.B. 3D-Netzwerke und zeitlich ver{\"a}nderliche Netzwerke, implementiert. Zur Demonstration des Konzeptes wurden interaktive Tools f{\"u}r zwei unterschiedliche Anwendungsf{\"a}lle entwickelt. Das erste beinhaltet die Visualisierung attributierter 3D-Trajektorien, welche die Bewegungen von Flugzeugen um einen Flughafen beschreiben. Es erm{\"o}glicht Nutzern, die Trajektorien von ankommenden und startenden Flugzeugen {\"u}ber den Zeitraum eines Monats interaktiv zu explorieren und zu analysieren. Durch Verwendung der interaktiven Visualisierungsmethoden f{\"u}r 3D-Trajektorien und interaktiven Dichtekarten k{\"o}nnen Einblicke in die Daten gewonnen werden, wie beispielsweise h{\"a}ufig genutzte Flugkorridore, typische sowie untypische Bewegungsmuster, oder ungew{\"o}hnliche Vorkommnisse wie Fehlanfl{\"u}ge. Der zweite Anwendungsfall beinhaltet die Visualisierung von Klimanetzwerken, welche geographischen Netzwerken in der Klimaforschung darstellen. Klimanetzwerke repr{\"a}sentieren die Dynamiken im Klimasystem durch eine Netzwerkstruktur, die die statistische Beziehungen zwischen Orten beschreiben. Das entwickelte Tool erm{\"o}glicht es Analysten, diese großen Netzwerke interaktiv zu explorieren und dadurch die Struktur des Netzwerks zu analysieren und mit den geographischen Daten in Beziehung zu setzen. Interaktive Filterung und Selektion erm{\"o}glichen es, Muster in den Daten zu identifizieren, und so bspw. Cluster in der Netzwerkstruktur oder Str{\"o}mungsmuster zu erkennen.},

  abstract  = {As a result of CMOS scaling, radiation-induced Single-Event Effects (SEEs) in electronic circuits became a critical reliability issue for modern Integrated Circuits (ICs) operating under harsh radiation conditions. SEEs can be triggered in combinational or sequential logic by the impact of high-energy particles, leading to destructive or non-destructive faults, resulting in data corruption or even system failure. Typically, the SEE mitigation methods are deployed statically in processing architectures based on the worst-case radiation conditions, which is most of the time unnecessary and results in a resource overhead. Moreover, the space radiation conditions are dynamically changing, especially during Solar Particle Events (SPEs). The intensity of space radiation can differ over five orders of magnitude within a few hours or days, resulting in several orders of magnitude fault probability variation in ICs during SPEs. This thesis introduces a comprehensive approach for designing a self-adaptive fault resilient multiprocessing system to overcome the static mitigation overhead issue. This work mainly addresses the following topics: (1) Design of on-chip radiation particle monitor for real-time radiation environment detection, (2) Investigation of space environment predictor, as support for solar particle events forecast, (3) Dynamic mode configuration in the resilient multiprocessing system. Therefore, according to detected and predicted in-flight space radiation conditions, the target system can be configured to use no mitigation or low-overhead mitigation during non-critical periods of time. The redundant resources can be used to improve system performance or save power. On the other hand, during increased radiation activity periods, such as SPEs, the mitigation methods can be dynamically configured appropriately depending on the real-time space radiation environment, resulting in higher system reliability. Thus, a dynamic trade-off in the target system between reliability, performance and power consumption in real-time can be achieved. All results of this work are evaluated in a highly reliable quad-core multiprocessing system that allows the self-adaptive setting of optimal radiation mitigation mechanisms during run-time. Proposed methods can serve as a basis for establishing a comprehensive self-adaptive resilient system design process. Successful implementation of the proposed design in the quad-core multiprocessor shows its application perspective also in the other designs.},

  abstract  = {Pichia pastoris (syn. Komagataella phaffi) is a distinguished expression system widely used in industrial production processes. Recent molecular research has focused on numerous approaches to increase recombinant protein yield in P. pastoris. For example, the design of expression vectors and synthetic genetic elements, gene copy number optimization, or co-expression of helper proteins (transcription factors, chaperones, etc.). However, high clonal variability of transformants and low screening throughput have hampered significant success. To enhance screening capacities, display-based methodologies inherit the potential for efficient isolation of producer clones via fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Therefore, this study focused on developing a novel clone selection method that is based on the non-covalent attachment of Fab fragments on the P. pastoris cell surface to be applicable for FACS. Initially, a P. pastoris display system was developed, which is a prerequisite for the surface capture of secreted Fabs. A Design of Experiments approach was applied to analyze the influence of various genetic elements on antibody fragment display. The combined P. pastoris formaldehyde dehydrogenase promoter (PFLD1), Saccharomyces cerevisiae invertase 2 signal peptide (ScSUC2), - agglutinin (ScSAG1) anchor protein, and the ARS of Kluyveromyces lactis (panARS) conferred highest display levels. Subsequently, eight single-chain variable fragments (scFv) specific for the constant part of the Fab heavy or light chain were individually displayed in P. pastoris. Among the tested scFvs, the anti-human CH1 IgG domain scFv allowed the most efficient Fab capture detected by flow cytometry. Irrespective of the Fab sequence, exogenously added as well as simultaneously secreted Fabs were successfully captured on the cell surface. Furthermore, Fab secretion capacities were shown to correlate to the level of surface-bound Fabs as demonstrated for characterized producer clones. Flow-sorted clones presenting high amounts of Fabs showed an increase in median Fab titers (factor of 21 to 49) compared to unsorted clones when screened in deep-well plates. For selected candidates, improved functional Fab yields of sorted cells vs. unsorted cells were confirmed in an upscaled shake flask production. Since the scFv capture matrix was encoded on an episomal plasmid with inherently unstable autonomously replicating sequences (ARS), efficient plasmid curing was observed after removing the selective pressure. Hence, sorted clones could be immediately used for production without the need to modify the expression host or vector. The resulting switchable display/secretion system provides a streamlined approach for the isolation of Fab producers and subsequent Fab production.},

  abstract  = {This thesis is focused on the electronic, spin-dependent and dynamical properties of thin magnetic systems. Photoemission-related techniques are combined with synchrotron radiation to study the spin-dependent properties of these systems in the energy and time domains. In the first part of this thesis, the strength of electron correlation effects in the spin-dependent electronic structure of ferromagnetic bcc Fe(110) and hcp Co(0001) is investigated by means of spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The experimental results are compared to theoretical calculations within the three-body scattering approximation and within the dynamical mean-field theory, together with one-step model calculations of the photoemission process. From this comparison it is demonstrated that the present state of the art many-body calculations, although improving the description of correlation effects in Fe and Co, give too small mass renormalizations and scattering rates thus demanding more refined many-body theories including nonlocal fluctuations. In the second part, it is shown in detail monitoring by photoelectron spectroscopy how graphene can be grown by chemical vapour deposition on the transition-metal surfaces Ni(111) and Co(0001) and intercalated by a monoatomic layer of Au. For both systems, a linear E(k) dispersion of massless Dirac fermions is observed in the graphene pi-band in the vicinity of the Fermi energy. Spin-resolved photoemission from the graphene pi-band shows that the ferromagnetic polarization of graphene/Ni(111) and graphene/Co(0001) is negligible and that graphene on Ni(111) is after intercalation of Au spin-orbit split by the Rashba effect. In the last part, a time-resolved x-ray magnetic circular dichroic-photoelectron emission microscopy study of a permalloy platelet comprising three cross-tie domain walls is presented. It is shown how a fast picosecond magnetic response in the precessional motion of the magnetization can be induced by means of a laser-excited photoswitch. From a comparision to micromagnetic calculations it is demonstrated that the relatively high precessional frequency observed in the experiments is directly linked to the nature of the vortex/antivortex dynamics and its response to the magnetic perturbation. This includes the time-dependent reversal of the vortex core polarization, a process which is beyond the limit of detection in the present experiments.},

  abstract  = {Haematopoietic development is a complex process that is strictly hierarchically organized. Here, the phagocyte lineages are a very heterogeneous cell compartment with specialized functions in innate immunity and induction of adaptive immune responses. Their generation from a common precursor must be tightly controlled. Interference within lineage formation programs for example by mutation or change in expression levels of transcription factors (TF) is causative to leukaemia. However, the molecular mechanisms driving specification into distinct phagocytes remain poorly understood. In the present study I identify the transcription factor Interferon Regulatory Factor 8 (IRF8) as the specification factor of dendritic cell (DC) commitment in early phagocyte precursors. Employing an IRF8 reporter mouse, I showed the distinct Irf8 expression in haematopoietic lineage diversification and isolated a novel bone marrow resident progenitor which selectively differentiates into CD8α+ conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) in vivo. This progenitor strictly depends on Irf8 expression to properly establish its transcriptional DC program while suppressing a lineage-inappropriate neutrophile program. Moreover, I demonstrated that Irf8 expression during this cDC commitment-step depends on a newly discovered myeloid-specific cis-enhancer which is controlled by the haematopoietic transcription factors PU.1 and RUNX1. Interference with their binding leads to abrogation of Irf8 expression, subsequently to disturbed cell fate decisions, demonstrating the importance of these factors for proper phagocyte cell development. Collectively, these data delineate a transcriptional program establishing cDC fate choice with IRF8 in its center.},

  abstract  = {Con la sua proposta di una Somaestetica, articolata fondamentalmente in analitica, pragmatica e pratica, Richard Shusterman intende in primo luogo fornire e creare una cornice metodologica, un orientamento unitario che sia in grado di rintracciare, ricostruire e portare a manifestazione - all'interno di eterogenee riflessioni teoriche e pratiche somatiche - la comune esigenza di ridare luce alla dimensione corporea come modo primario di essere nel mondo. Recuperando l'accezione baumgarteniana di Aesthetica come gnoseologia inferiore, arte dell'analogo della ragione, scienza della conoscenza sensibile, la somaestetica intende dare nuovo impulso alla pi{\`u} profonda radice di estetica e filosofia che coglie la vita nel suo processo di metamorfosi e rigenerazione continua, in quel respiro vitale che, per quanto possa diventare cosciente, non {\`e} mai totalmente afferrabile dalla ragione discorsiva, situandosi piuttosto in quello spazio primordiale in cui coscienza e corpo si coappartengono, in cui il soggetto non {\`e} ancora individualizzabile perch{\´e} fuso con l'ambiente, non {\`e} totalmente privatizzabile perch{\´e} intrinsecamente plasmato dal tessuto sociale cui egli stesso conferisce dinamicamente forma. A partire dunque dalla rivalutazione del concetto di Aisthesis la disciplina somaestetica mira ad una intensificazione di sensorialit{\`a}, percezione, emozione, commozione, rintracciando proprio nel Soma la fonte di quelle facolt{\`a} "inferiori" irriducibili a quelle puramente intellettuali, che permettono di accedere alle dimensioni qualitative dell'esperienza, di portare a manifestazione e far maturare l'essere umano come essere indivisibile che non si lascia incontrare da un pensiero che ne rinnega l'unitariet{\`a} in nome di fittizie e laceranti distinzioni dicotomiche. Nel corpo infatti si radicano in modo silente regole, convenzioni, norme e valori socioculturali che determinano e talvolta limitano la configurazione ed espressione di sensazioni, percezioni, cognizioni, pensieri, azioni, volizioni, disposizioni di un soggetto da sempre inserito in una Mitwelt (mondo comune), ed {\`e} allora proprio al corpo che bisogna rivolgersi per riconfigurare pi{\`u} autentiche modalit{\`a} di espressione del soggetto che crea equilibri dinamici per mantenere una relazione di coerenza con il pi{\`u} ampio contesto sociale, culturale, ambientale. L'apertura al confronto con eterogenee posizioni filosofiche e l'intrinseca multidisciplinariet{\`a} spiegano la centralit{\`a} nel contemporaneo dibattito estetologico internazionale della Somaestetica che, rivolgendosi tanto ad una formulazione teorica quanto ad una concreta applicazione pratica, intende rivalutare il soma come corporeit{\`a} intelligente, senziente, intenzionale e attiva, non riducibile all'accezione peccaminosa di caro (mero corpo fisico privo di vita e sensazione). Attraverso la riflessione e la pratica di tecniche di coscienza somatica si portano in primo piano i modi in cui il sempre pi{\`u} consapevole rapporto con la propria corporeit{\`a} come mediatamente esperita e immediatamente vissuta, sentita, offre occasioni autentiche di realizzazione progressiva di s{\´e} innanzitutto come persone, capaci di autocoltivazione, di riflessione cosciente sulle proprie abitudini incorporate, di ristrutturazione creativa di s{\´e}, di intensificata percezione e apprezzamento sensoriale sia nel concreto agire quotidiano, sia nella dimensione pi{\`u} propriamente estetologica di ricezione, fruizione e creazione artistica. L'indirizzo essenzialmente pragmatista della riflessione di Shusterman traccia cos{\`i} una concezione fondamentalmente relazionale dell'estetica in grado di porsi proprio nel movimento e nel rapporto continuamente diveniente di vera e propria trasformazione e passaggio tra le dimensioni fisiche, proprio-corporee, psichiche e spirituali del soggetto la cui interazione, ed il cui reciproco riversarsi le une nelle altre, pu{\`o} risultare profondamente arricchito attraverso una progressiva e sempre crescente consapevolizzazione della ricchezza della dimensione corporea in quanto intenzionale, percettiva, senziente, volitiva, tanto quanto vulnerabile, limitante, caduca, patica. Il presente lavoro intende ripercorrere ed approfondire alcuni dei principali referenti di Shusterman, focalizzandosi prevalentemente sulla radice pragmatista della sua proposta e sul confronto con il dibattito di area tedesca tra estetica, antropologia filosofica, neofenomenologia e antropologia medica, per riguadagnare una nozione di soma che proprio a partire dal contrasto, dall'impatto irriducibile con la potenza annullante delle situazioni limite, della crisi possa acquisire un pi{\`u} complesso e ricco valore armonizzante delle intrinseche e molteplici dimensioni che costituiscono il tessuto della soggettivit{\`a} incarnata. In particolare il primo capitolo (1. Somaestetica) chiarisce le radici essenzialmente pragmatiste della proposta shustermaniana e mostra come sia possibile destrutturare e dunque riconfigurare radicati modi di esperienza, rendendo coscienti abitudini e modi di vivere che si fissano a livello somatico in modo per lo pi{\`u} inavvertito. Il confronto con la nozione di Habitus, di cui Pierre Bourdieu mette brillantemente in luce l'invisibile e socialmente determinata matrice somatica, lascia scorgere come ogni manifestazione umana sia sostenuta dall'incorporazione di norme, credenze, valori che determinano e talvolta limitano l'espressione, lo sviluppo, persino le predisposizioni e le inclinazioni degli individui. Ed {\`e} proprio intervenendo a questo livello che si pu{\`o} restituire libert{\`a} alle scelte e aprirsi cos{\`i} alle dimensioni essenzialmente qualitative dell'esperienza che, nell'accezione deweyana {\`e} un insieme olistico unitario e coeso che fa da sfondo alle relazioni organismo-ambiente, un intreccio inestricabile di teoria e prassi, particolare e universale, psiche e soma, ragione ed emozione, percettivo e concettuale, insomma quell'immediata conoscenza corporea che struttura lo sfondo di manifestazione della coscienza.},
