The North China Plain (NCP) is one of the most productive and intensive agricultural regions in China. High doses of mineral nitrogen (N) fertiliser, often combined with flood irrigation, are applied, resulting in N surplus, groundwater depletion and environmental pollution. The objectives of this thesis were to use the HERMES model to simulate the N cycle in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–summer maize (Zea mays L.) double crop rotations and show the performance of the HERMES model, of the new ammonia volatilisation sub-module and of the new nitrification inhibition tool in the NCP. Further objectives were to assess the models potential to save N and water on plot and county scale, as well as on short and long-term. Additionally, improved management strategies with the help of a model-based nitrogen fertiliser recommendation (NFR) and adapted irrigation, should be found.
Results showed that the HERMES model performed well under growing conditions of the NCP and was able to describe the relevant processes related to soil–plant interactions concerning N and water during a 2.5 year field experiment. No differences in grain yield between the real-time model-based NFR and the other treatments of the experiments on plot scale in Quzhou County could be found. Simulations with increasing amounts of irrigation resulted in significantly higher N leaching, higher N requirements of the NFR and reduced yields. Thus, conventional flood irrigation as currently practised by the farmers bears great uncertainties and exact irrigation amounts should be known for future simulation studies. In the best-practice scenario simulation on plot-scale, N input and N leaching, but also irrigation water could be reduced strongly within 2 years. Thus, the model-based NFR in combination with adapted irrigation had the highest potential to reduce nitrate leaching, compared to farmers practice and mineral N (Nmin)-reduced treatments. Also the calibrated and validated ammonia volatilisation sub-module of the HERMES model worked well under the climatic and soil conditions of northern China. Simple ammonia volatilisation approaches gave also satisfying results compared to process-oriented approaches. During the simulation with Ammonium sulphate Nitrate with nitrification inhibitor (ASNDMPP) ammonia volatilisation was higher than in the simulation without nitrification inhibitor, while the result for nitrate leaching was the opposite. Although nitrification worked well in the model, nitrification-born nitrous oxide emissions should be considered in future. Results of the simulated annual long-term (31 years) N losses in whole Quzhou County in Hebei Province were 296.8 kg N ha−1 under common farmers practice treatment and 101.7 kg N ha−1 under optimised treatment including NFR and automated irrigation (OPTai). Spatial differences in simulated N losses throughout Quzhou County, could only be found due to different N inputs. Simulations of an optimised treatment, could save on average more than 260 kg N ha−1a−1 from fertiliser input and 190 kg N ha−1a−1 from N losses and around 115.7 mm a−1 of water, compared to farmers practice. These long-term simulation results showed lower N and water saving potential, compared to short-term simulations and underline the necessity of long-term simulations to overcome the effect of high initial N stocks in soil.
Additionally, the OPTai worked best on clay loam soil except for a high simulated denitrification loss, while the simulations using farmers practice irrigation could not match the actual water needs resulting in yield decline, especially for winter wheat. Thus, a precise adaption of management to actual weather conditions and plant growth needs is necessary for future simulations. However, the optimised treatments did not seem to be able to maintain the soil organic matter pools, even with full crop residue input. Extra organic inputs seem to be required to maintain soil quality in the optimised treatments.
HERMES is a relatively simple model, with regard to data input requirements, to simulate the N cycle. It can offer interpretation of management options on plot, on county and regional scale for extension and research staff. Also in combination with other N and water saving methods the model promises to be a useful tool.
Bildungsort Familie
(2019)
In der Bildungs- und Familienforschung wird die intergenerationale Weitergabe von Bildung innerhalb der Familie hauptsächlich unter dem Blickwinkel des schulischen Erfolges der nachwachsenden Generation thematisiert. „Wie“ aber bildungsbezogene Transferprozesse innerhalb der Familie konkret ablaufen, bleibt jedoch in der deutschen Forschungslandschaft weitestgehend unbearbeitet. An dieser Stelle setzt diese qualitativ angelegte Arbeit an. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, bildungsbezogene Transferprozesse innerhalb von russischen Dreigenerationenfamilien, die aus der ehemaligen Sowjetunion nach Berlin seit 1989 ausgewandert sind und zwischen der Großeltern-, Elterngeneration und der Enkelgeneration ablaufen, zu untersuchen. Hinter diesen Transferprozessen verbergen sich im Sinne Bourdieus bewusste und unbewusste Bildungsstrategien der interviewten Familienmitglieder. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurden zwei Spätaussiedlerfamilien – zu diesen zählen Familie Hoffmann und Familie Popow, sowie zwei russisch-jüdische Familien – zu diesen zählen Familie Rosenthal und Familie Buchbinder, interviewt. Es wurden mit den einzelnen Mitgliedern der vier untersuchten Dreigenerationenfamilien Gruppendiskussionen sowie mit je einem Vertreter einer Generation leitfadengestützte Einzelinterviews geführt. Die Erhebungsphase fand in Berlin im Zeitraum von 2010 bis 2012 statt. Das auf diese Weise gewonnene empirische Material wurde mithilfe der dokumentarischen Methode nach Bohnsack ausgewertet. Hierdurch wurde es möglich die implizite Selbstverständlichkeit, mit der sich Bildung in Familien nach Bourdieu habituell vollzieht, einzufangen und rekonstruierbar zu machen. In der Arbeit wurden eine habitustheoretische Interpretation der russischen Dreigenerationenfamilien und die entsprechende Feldanalyse nach Bourdieu vorgenommen. In diesem Zusammenhang wurde der soziale Raum der untersuchten Familien in der Ankunftsgesellschaft bezüglich ihres Vergleichshorizontes der Herkunftsgesellschaft rekonstruiert. Weiter wurde der Bildungstransfer vor dem jeweiligen Erlebnishintergrund der einzelnen Familien untersucht und diesbezüglich eine Typisierung vorgenommen.
Im Rahmen dieser Untersuchung konnten neue Erkenntnisse zum bisher unerforschten Feld des Bildungstransfers russischer Dreigenerationenfamilien in Berlin gewonnen werden. Ein wesentliches Ergebnis dieser Arbeit ist, dass die Anwendung von Bourdieus Klassentheorie auch auf Gruppen, die in einer sozialistischen Gesellschaft sozialisiert wurden und in eine kapitalistisch orientierte Gesellschaft ausgewandert sind, produktiv sein kann. Ein weiteres zentrales Ergebnis der Studie ist, dass bei zwei der vier untersuchten Familien die Migration den intergenerationalen Bildungstransfer beeinflusste. In diesem Zusammenhang weist Familie Rosenthal durch die Migration einen „gespaltenen“ Habitus auf. Dieser ist darauf zurückzuführen, dass diese Familie bei der Planung des Berufes für die Enkelin in Berlin sich am Praktischen und Notwendigen orientierte. Während die bewusste Bildungsstrategie der Großeltern- und Elterngeneration für die Enkelgeneration im Ankunftsland dem Habitus der Notwendigkeit, den Bourdieu der Arbeiterklasse zuschreibt, zugeordnet werden kann, lässt sich hingegen das Freizeitverhalten der Familie Rosenthal dem Habitus der Distinktion zuordnen, der typisch für die herrschende Klasse ist. Ein weiterer Befund dieser Untersuchung ist, dass im Vergleich zur Enkelin Rosenthal bei der Enkelin Popow eine sogenannte Sphärendiskrepanz rekonstruiert wurde. So ist die Enkelin Popow in der äußeren Sphäre der Schule auf sich gestellt, da die Großeltern- und Elterngeneration zum deutschen Schulsystem nur über einen geringen Informationsstand verfügen. Die Enkelin grenzt sich einerseits von ihrer Familie (innere Sphäre) und deutschen Schulabbrechern (äußere Sphäre) ab, orientiert sich aber andererseits beim Versuch sozial aufzusteigen an russischsprachigen Peers, die die gymnasiale Oberstufe besuchen (dritte Sphäre). Bei Enkelin Popow fungiert demzufolge die Peergruppe und nicht die Familie als zentraler Bildungsort. An dieser Stelle sei angemerkt, dass sowohl bei einer russisch-jüdischen Familie als auch bei einer Spätaussiedlerfamilie der intergenerationale Bildungstransfer durch die Migration beeinflusst wurde. Während Familie Rosenthal in der Herkunftsgesellschaft der Intelligenzija zuzuordnen ist, gehört Familie Popow der Arbeiterschaft an. Daraus folgt, dass der intergenerationale Bildungstransfer der untersuchten Familien sowohl unabhängig vom Spätaussiedler- und Kontingentflüchtlingsstatus als auch vom herkunftsortspezifischen sozialen Status abläuft. Demnach kann geschlussfolgert werden, dass im Rahmen dieser Studie die Migration ein zentraler Faktor für den intergenerationalen Bildungstransfer ist.
L’extériorisation de toute communication est assujettie à un mode d’accès du locuteur aux informations véhiculées. Les constatations faites de nos données prouvent que tous les huit verbes étudiés traduisent des mécanismes d’acquisition des connaissances que nous avons appelés en emprunt à (Vogeleer, 1995 :92) « l’accès cognitif au savoir ». C’est cette valeur intrinsèque qui vaut à ces termes la dénomination de verbes médiatifs. En d’autres mots, ce sont des éléments qui explicitent des processus d’accès du locuteur au savoir. Une source du savoir qui peut être directe (la vue, le touché, l’ouïe, l’odorat…) ou indirecte (ouï-dire) et surtout inférée. Nous entendons par inférence un processus d’analyse et de mise en relation d’éléments (prémisses), lesquelles permettent de tirer une conclusion par déduction, induction ou par abduction. Et selon que lesdites prémisses tendent à être plus ou moins fiables, ces processus inférentiels impliqueront des valeurs épistémiques à des degrés divers.
Sur le plan rhétorico-syntaxique, nos analyses ont montré tous les verbes cognitifs (VC) de cette étude exigent l’occurrence d’autres constituants (actants) phrastiques qu’ils régissent. C’est grâce à cette valence verbale qu’ils gardent un pouvoir rectionnel dans les constructions asyndétiques. Ce sont donc les matrices des éléments sur lesquels ils se rapportent. Quant au cinétisme de ces verbes, il possède une fonction rhétorique et syntaxique. En effet, cet agencement particulier et souvent perturbant permet de traduire l’expression d’une figure de syntaxe à effet rhétorique : l’hyperbate. Une construction atypique qui, à travers les agencements anticonformistes, donne un sens de regressivité à l’énoncé et confère une saillance à des termes mis ce fait en exergue.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird anhand von neuartigen Materialien das Potential der Europium-Lumineszenz für die strukturelle Analyse dargestellt. Bei diesen Materialien handelt es sich zum einen um Nanopartikel mit Matrizes aus mehreren Metall-Mischoxiden und Dotierungen durch die Sonde Europium und zum anderen um Metallorganische Netzwerke (MOFs), die mit Neodym , Samarium- und Europium-Ionen beladen sind.
Die Synthese der aus der Kombination von Metalloxiden enthaltenen Nanopartikel ist unter milden Bedingungen mithilfe von speziell dafür hergestellten Reagenzien erfolgt und hat zu sehr kleinen, amorphen Nanopartikeln geführt. Durch eine nachfolgende Temperaturbehandlung hat sich die Kristallinität erhöht. Damit verbunden haben sich auch die Kristallstruktur sowie die Position des Dotanden Europium verändert.
Während die etablierte Methode der Röntgendiffraktometrie einen Blick auf das Kristallgitter als Gesamtes ermöglicht, so trifft die Lumineszenz des Europiums durch die Sichtbarkeit einzelner Stark-Aufspaltungen Aussagen über dessen lokale Symmetrien. Die Symmetrie wird durch Sauerstofffehlstellen verändert, welche die Sauerstoffleitfähigkeit der Nanopartikel beeinflussen. Diese ist für die Anwendung als Katalysatoren in industriellen Prozessen und ebenso als Sensoren und Therapeutika in biologischen Systemen von Bedeutung.
Zur ersten katalytischen Charakterisierung werden die Proben mittels Temperatur-programmierter Reduktion untersucht. Des Weiteren werden die Mischoxid-Nanopartikel auch hinsichtlich ihrer Verwendbarkeit als Matrix in Aufkonversionsprozessen untersucht.
Die Metallorganischen Netzwerke eignen sich aufgrund ihrer mikroporösen Struktur für Anwendungen in der Speicherung gleichermaßen von Nutzgasen wie auch von Schadstoffen. Ebenfalls ist eine biologische Anwendung denkbar, die insbesondere den Bereich der drug delivery-Reagenzien betrifft.
Erfolgt in die mikroporösen Strukturen der Metallorganischen Netzwerke die Einlagerung von Lanthanoid-Ionen, so können diese bei der entsprechenden Kombination als Weißlicht-Emittierer fungieren. Dabei ist neben den Verhältnissen zwischen den Lanthanoid-Ionen auch die genaue Position innerhalb des Netzwerks sowie die Distanz zu anderen Ionen von Interesse. Zur Untersuchung dieser Fragestellungen wird die Umgebungssensitivität der Europium-Lumineszenz ausgenutzt. Die auf diese Weise festgestellte Formiat-Bildung hängt von zahlreichen Parametern ab.
Insgesamt stellt sich die im Rahmen dieser Arbeit verwendete Methodik des Einsatzes von Europium als strukturelle Sonde in höchstem Maße vielseitig dar und zeigt seine größte Stärke in der Kombination mit weiteren Methoden der Strukturanalytik. Die auf diese Weise genauestens charakterisierten neuartigen Materialien können nun gezielt und anwendungsfokussiert weiterentwickelt werden.
Aluminum oxide is an Earth-abundant geological material, and its interaction with water is of crucial importance for geochemical and environmental processes. Some aluminum oxide surfaces are also known to be useful in heterogeneous catalysis, while the surface chemistry of aqueous oxide interfaces determines the corrosion, growth and dissolution of such materials. In this doctoral work, we looked mainly at the (0001) surface of α-Al 2 O 3 and its reactivity towards water. In particular, a great focus of this work is dedicated to simulate and address the vibrational spectra of water adsorbed on the α-alumina(0001) surface in various conditions and at different coverages. In fact, the main source of comparison and inspiration for this work comes from the collaboration with the “Interfacial Molecular Spectroscopy” group led by Dr. R. Kramer Campen at the Fritz-Haber Institute of the MPG in Berlin. The expertise of our project partners in surface-sensitive Vibrational Sum Frequency (VSF) generation spectroscopy was crucial to develop and adapt specific simulation schemes used in this work. Methodologically, the main approach employed in this thesis is Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics (AIMD) based on periodic Density Functional Theory (DFT) using the PBE functional with D2 dispersion correction. The analysis of vibrational frequencies from both a static and a dynamic, finite-temperature perspective offers the ability to investigate the water / aluminum oxide interface in close connection to experiment.
The first project presented in this work considers the characterization of dissociatively adsorbed deuterated water on the Al-terminated (0001) surface. This particular structure is known from both experiment and theory to be the thermodynamically most stable surface termination of α-alumina in Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV) conditions. Based on experiments performed by our colleagues at FHI, different adsorption sites and products have been proposed and identified for D 2 O. While previous theoretical investigations only looked at vibrational frequencies of dissociated OD groups by staticNormal Modes Analysis (NMA), we rather employed a more sophisticated approach to directly assess vibrational spectra (like IR and VSF) at finite temperature from AIMD. In this work, we have employed a recent implementation which makes use of velocity-velocity autocorrelation functions to simulate such spectral responses of O-H(D) bonds. This approach allows for an efficient and qualitatively accurate estimation of Vibrational Densities of States (VDOS) as well as IR and VSF spectra, which are then tested against experimental spectra from our collaborators.
In order to extend previous work on unimolecularly dissociated water on α-Al 2 O 3 , we then considered a different system, namely, a fully hydroxylated (0001) surface, which results from the reconstruction of the UHV-stable Al-terminated surface at high water contents. This model is then further extended by considering a hydroxylated surface with additional water molecules, forming a two-dimensional layer which serves as a potential template to simulate an aqueous interface in environmental conditions. Again, employing finite-temperature AIMD trajectories at the PBE+D2 level, we investigated the behaviour of both hydroxylated surface (HS) and the water-covered structure derived from it (known as HS+2ML). A full range of spectra, from VDOS to IR and VSF, is then calculated using the same methodology, as described above. This is the main focus of the second project, reported in Chapter 5. In this case, comparison between theoretical spectra and experimental data is definitely good. In particular, we underline the nature of high-frequency resonances observed above 3700 cm −1 in VSF experiments to be associated with surface OH-groups, known as “aluminols” which are a key fingerprint of the fully hydroxylated surface.
In the third and last project, which is presented in Chapter 6, the extension of VSF spectroscopy experiments to the time-resolved regime offered us the opportunity to investigate vibrational energy relaxation at the α-alumina / water interface. Specifically, using again DFT-based AIMD simulations, we simulated vibrational lifetimes for surface aluminols as experimentally detected via pump-probe VSF. We considered the water-covered HS model as a potential candidate to address this problem. The vibrational (IR) excitation and subsequent relaxation is performed by means of a non-equilibrium molecular dynamics scheme. In such a scheme, we specifically looked at the O-H stretching mode of surface aluminols. Afterwards, the analysis of non-equilibrium trajectories allows for an estimation of relaxation times in the order of 2-4 ps which are in overall agreement with measured ones.
The aim of this work has been to provide, within a consistent theoretical framework, a better understanding of vibrational spectroscopy and dynamics for water on the α-alumina(0001) surface,ranging from very low water coverage (similar to the UHV case) up to medium-high coverages, resembling the hydroxylated oxide in environmental moist conditions.
Risiken für Cyberressourcen können durch unbeabsichtigte oder absichtliche Bedrohungen entstehen. Dazu gehören Insider-Bedrohungen von unzufriedenen oder nachlässigen Mitarbeitern und Partnern, eskalierende und aufkommende Bedrohungen aus aller Welt, die stetige Weiterentwicklung der Angriffstechnologien und die Entstehung neuer und zerstörerischer Angriffe. Informationstechnik spielt mittlerweile in allen Bereichen des Lebens eine entscheidende Rolle, u. a. auch im Bereich des Militärs. Ein ineffektiver Schutz von Cyberressourcen kann hier Sicherheitsvorfälle und Cyberattacken erleichtern, welche die kritischen Vorgänge stören, zu unangemessenem Zugriff, Offenlegung, Änderung oder Zerstörung sensibler Informationen führen und somit die nationale Sicherheit, das wirtschaftliche Wohlergehen sowie die öffentliche Gesundheit und Sicherheit gefährden. Oftmals ist allerdings nicht klar, welche Bedrohungen konkret vorhanden sind und welche der kritischen Systemressourcen besonders gefährdet ist.
In dieser Dissertation werden verschiedene Analyseverfahren für Bedrohungen in militärischer Informationstechnik vorgeschlagen und in realen Umgebungen getestet. Dies bezieht sich auf Infrastrukturen, IT-Systeme, Netze und Anwendungen, welche Verschlusssachen (VS)/Staatsgeheimnisse verarbeiten, wie zum Beispiel bei militärischen oder Regierungsorganisationen. Die Besonderheit an diesen Organisationen ist das Konzept der Informationsräume, in denen verschiedene Datenelemente, wie z. B. Papierdokumente und Computerdateien, entsprechend ihrer Sicherheitsempfindlichkeit eingestuft werden, z. B. „STRENG GEHEIM“, „GEHEIM“, „VS-VERTRAULICH“, „VS-NUR-FÜR-DEN-DIENSTGEBRAUCH“ oder „OFFEN“.
Die Besonderheit dieser Arbeit ist der Zugang zu eingestuften Informationen aus verschiedenen Informationsräumen und der Prozess der Freigabe dieser. Jede in der Arbeit entstandene Veröffentlichung wurde mit Angehörigen in der Organisation besprochen, gegengelesen und freigegeben, so dass keine eingestuften Informationen an die Öffentlichkeit gelangen.
Die Dissertation beschreibt zunächst Bedrohungsklassifikationsschemen und Angreiferstrategien, um daraus ein ganzheitliches, strategiebasiertes Bedrohungsmodell für Organisationen abzuleiten. Im weiteren Verlauf wird die Erstellung und Analyse eines Sicherheitsdatenflussdiagramms definiert, welches genutzt wird, um in eingestuften Informationsräumen operationelle Netzknoten zu identifizieren, die aufgrund der Bedrohungen besonders gefährdet sind. Die spezielle, neuartige Darstellung ermöglicht es, erlaubte und verbotene Informationsflüsse innerhalb und zwischen diesen Informationsräumen zu verstehen.
Aufbauend auf der Bedrohungsanalyse werden im weiteren Verlauf die Nachrichtenflüsse der operationellen Netzknoten auf Verstöße gegen Sicherheitsrichtlinien analysiert und die Ergebnisse mit Hilfe des Sicherheitsdatenflussdiagramms anonymisiert dargestellt. Durch Anonymisierung der Sicherheitsdatenflussdiagramme ist ein Austausch mit externen Experten zur Diskussion von Sicherheitsproblematiken möglich.
Der dritte Teil der Arbeit zeigt, wie umfangreiche Protokolldaten der Nachrichtenflüsse dahingehend untersucht werden können, ob eine Reduzierung der Menge an Daten möglich ist. Dazu wird die Theorie der groben Mengen aus der Unsicherheitstheorie genutzt. Dieser Ansatz wird in einer Fallstudie, auch unter Berücksichtigung von möglichen auftretenden Anomalien getestet und ermittelt, welche Attribute in Protokolldaten am ehesten redundant sind.
The foreland of the Andes in South America is characterised by distinct along strike changes in surface deformational styles. These styles are classified into two end-members, the thin-skinned and the thick-skinned style. The superficial expression of thin-skinned deformation is a succession of narrowly spaced hills and valleys, that form laterally continuous ranges on the foreland facing side of the orogen. Each of the hills is defined by a reverse fault that roots in a basal décollement surface within the sedimentary cover, and acted as thrusting ramp to stack the sedimentary pile. Thick-skinned deformation is morphologically characterised by spatially disparate, basement-cored mountain ranges. These mountain ranges are uplifted along reactivated high-angle crustal-scale discontinuities, such as suture zones between different tectonic terranes.
Amongst proposed causes for the observed variation are variations in the dip angle of the Nazca plate, variation in sediment thickness, lithospheric thickening, volcanism or compositional differences. The proposed mechanisms are predominantly based on geological observations or numerical thermomechanical modelling, but there has been no attempt to understand the mechanisms from a point of data-integrative 3D modelling. The aim of this dissertation is therefore to understand how lithospheric structure controls the deformational behaviour. The integration of independent data into a consistent model of the lithosphere allows to obtain additional evidence that helps to understand the causes for the different deformational styles. Northern Argentina encompasses the transition from the thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belt in Bolivia, to the thick-skinned Sierras Pampeanas province, which makes this area a well suited location for such a study. The general workflow followed in this study first involves data-constrained structural- and density-modelling in order to obtain a model of the study area. This model was then used to predict the steady-state thermal field, which was then used to assess the present-day rheological state in northern Argentina.
The structural configuration of the lithosphere in northern Argentina was determined by means of data-integrative, 3D density modelling verified by Bouguer gravity. The model delineates the first-order density contrasts in the lithosphere in the uppermost 200 km, and discriminates bodies for the sediments, the crystalline crust, the lithospheric mantle and the subducting Nazca plate. To obtain the intra-crustal density structure, an automated inversion approach was developed and applied to a starting structural model that assumed a homogeneously dense crust. The resulting final structural model indicates that the crustal structure can be represented by an upper crust with a density of 2800 kg/m³, and a lower crust of 3100 kg/m³. The Transbrazilian Lineament, which separates the Pampia terrane from the Río de la Plata craton, is expressed as a zone of low average crustal densities.
In an excursion, we demonstrate in another study, that the gravity inversion method developed to obtain intra-crustal density structures, is also applicable to obtain density variations in the uppermost lithospheric mantle. Densities in such sub-crustal depths are difficult to constrain from seismic tomographic models due to smearing of crustal velocities. With the application to the uppermost lithospheric mantle in the north Atlantic, we demonstrate in Tan et al. (2018) that lateral density trends of at least 125\,km width are robustly recovered by the inversion method, thereby providing an important tool for the delineation of subcrustal density trends.
Due to the genetic link between subduction, orogenesis and retroarc foreland basins the question rises whether the steady-state assumption is valid in such a dynamic setting. To answer this question, I analysed (i) the impact of subduction on the conductive thermal field of the overlying continental plate, (ii) the differences between the transient and steady-state thermal fields of a geodynamic coupled model. Both studies indicate that the assumption of a thermal steady-state is applicable in most parts of the study area. Within the orogenic wedge, where the assumption cannot be applied, I estimated the transient thermal field based on the results of the conducted analyses.
Accordingly, the structural model that had been obtained in the first step, could be used to obtain a 3D conductive steady-state thermal field. The rheological assessment based on this thermal field indicates that the lithosphere of the thin-skinned Subandean ranges is characterised by a relatively strong crust and a weak mantle. Contrarily, the adjacent foreland basin consists of a fully coupled, very strong lithosphere. Thus, shortening in northern Argentina can only be accommodated within the weak lithosphere of the orogen and the Subandean ranges. The analysis suggests that the décollements of the fold-and-thrust belt are the shallow continuation of shear zones that reside in the ductile sections of the orogenic crust. Furthermore, the localisation of the faults that provide strain transfer between the deeper ductile crust and the shallower décollement is strongly influenced by crustal weak zones such as foliation. In contrast to the northern foreland, the lithosphere of the thick-skinned Sierras Pampeanas is fully coupled and characterised by a strong crust and mantle. The high overall strength prevents the generation of crustal-scale faults by tectonic stresses. Even inherited crustal-scale discontinuities, such as sutures, cannot sufficiently reduce the strength of the lithosphere in order to be reactivated. Therefore, magmatism that had been identified to be a precursor of basement uplift in the Sierras Pampeanas, is the key factor that leads to the broken foreland of this province. Due to thermal weakening, and potentially lubrication of the inherited discontinuities, the lithosphere is locally weakened such that tectonic stresses can uplift the basement blocks. This hypothesis explains both the spatially disparate character of the broken foreland, as well as the observed temporal delay between volcanism and basement block uplift.
This dissertation provides for the first time a data-driven 3D model that is consistent with geophysical data and geological observations, and that is able to causally link the thermo-rheological structure of the lithosphere to the observed variation of surface deformation styles in the retroarc foreland of northern Argentina.
There is evidence that infants start extracting words from fluent speech around 7.5 months of age (e.g., Jusczyk & Aslin, 1995) and that they use at least two mechanisms to segment words forms from fluent speech: prosodic information (e.g., Jusczyk, Cutler & Redanz, 1993) and statistical information (e.g., Saffran, Aslin & Newport, 1996). However, how these two mechanisms interact and whether they change during development is still not fully understood.
The main aim of the present work is to understand in what way different cues to word segmentation are exploited by infants when learning the language in their environment, as well as to explore whether this ability is related to later language skills. In Chapter 3 we pursued to determine the reliability of the method used in most of the experiments in the present thesis (the Headturn Preference Procedure), as well as to examine correlations and individual differences between infants’ performance and later language outcomes. In Chapter 4 we investigated how German-speaking adults weigh statistical and prosodic information for word segmentation. We familiarized adults with an auditory string in which statistical and prosodic information indicated different word boundaries and obtained both behavioral and pupillometry responses. Then, we conducted further experiments to understand in what way different cues to word segmentation are exploited by 9-month-old German-learning infants (Chapter 5) and by 6-month-old German-learning infants (Chapter 6). In addition, we conducted follow-up questionnaires with the infants and obtained language outcomes at later stages of development.
Our findings from this thesis revealed that (1) German-speaking adults show a strong weight of prosodic cues, at least for the materials used in this study and that (2) German-learning infants weight these two kind of cues differently depending on age and/or language experience. We observed that, unlike English-learning infants, 6-month-old infants relied more strongly on prosodic cues. Nine-month-olds do not show any preference for either of the cues in the word segmentation task. From the present results it remains unclear whether the ability to use prosodic cues to word segmentation relates to later language vocabulary. We speculate that prosody provides infants with their first window into the specific acoustic regularities in the signal, which enables them to master the specific stress pattern of German rapidly. Our findings are a step forwards in the understanding of an early impact of the native prosody compared to statistical learning in early word segmentation.
Business process management (BPM) deals with modeling, executing, monitoring, analyzing, and improving business processes. During execution, the process communicates with its environment to get relevant contextual information represented as events. Recent development of big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) enables sources like smart devices and sensors to generate tons of events which can be filtered, grouped, and composed to trigger and drive business processes.
The industry standard Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) provides several event constructs to capture the interaction possibilities between a process and its environment, e.g., to instantiate a process, to abort an ongoing activity in an exceptional situation, to take decisions based on the information carried by the events, as well as to choose among the alternative paths for further process execution. The specifications of such interactions are termed as event handling. However, in a distributed setup, the event sources are most often unaware of the status of process execution and therefore, an event is produced irrespective of the process being ready to consume it. BPMN semantics does not support such scenarios and thus increases the chance of processes getting delayed or getting in a deadlock by missing out on event occurrences which might still be relevant.
The work in this thesis reviews the challenges and shortcomings of integrating real-world events into business processes, especially the subscription management. The basic integration is achieved with an architecture consisting of a process modeler, a process engine, and an event processing platform. Further, points of subscription and unsubscription along the process execution timeline are defined for different BPMN event constructs. Semantic and temporal dependencies among event subscription, event occurrence, event consumption and event unsubscription are considered. To this end, an event buffer with policies for updating the buffer, retrieving the most suitable event for the current process instance, and reusing the event has been discussed that supports issuing of early subscription.
The Petri net mapping of the event handling model provides our approach with a translation of semantics from a business process perspective. Two applications based on this formal foundation are presented to support the significance of different event handling configurations on correct process execution and reachability of a process path. Prototype implementations of the approaches show that realizing flexible event handling is feasible with minor extensions of off-the-shelf process engines and event platforms.
Der Porenraum eines Karbonatgesteins ist zumeist aus einer spezifischen Vergesellschaftung verschiedenster Porentypen aufgebaut, die eine unterschiedliche Herkunft aufweisen und zusätzlich in ihrer Form und Größe stark variieren können (e.g., Melim et al., 2001; Lee et al., 2009; He et al., 2014; Dernaika & Sinclair, 2017; Zhang et al., 2017). Diese für Karbonate typischen multimodalen Porensysteme entstehen sowohl durch primäre Ablagerungsprozesse, als auch durch mehrmalige Modifikation des Porenraumes nach Ablagerung des Sediments. Dies führt zu einer ungleichen Verteilung der Porenraumeigenschaften auf engstem Raum und das zeitgleiche Auftreten von effektiven und ineffektiven Poren. Diese immanenten Unterschiede in der Effektivität einzelner Porentypen sind der Hauptgrund für die häufig sehr niedrige Korellation zwischen Porosität und Permeabilität in Karbonaten (e.g., Mazzullo 2004; Ehrenberg & Nadeau, 2005; Hollis et al., 2010; He et al., 2014; Rashid et al., 2015; Dernaika & Sinclair, 2017). Durch die Extraktion von miteinander verbundenen und somit effektiven Porentypen jedoch kann das Verständnis und die Vorhersage der Permeabilität für einen gegeben Porositätswert stark verbessert werden (e.g., Melim et al., 2001; Zhang et al., 2017). Dazu wird in dieser Arbeit eine auf der digitalen Bildanalyse (DIA) beruhende Methode vorgestellt, mit der schrittweise die Effektivität von Poren aus den analysierten mittelmiozänen lakustrinen Karbonaten des Nördlinger Ries Kratersees (Süddeutschland) berechnet werden kann. Mithilfe des Porenformfaktors (sensu Anselmetti et al., 1998), der als Parameter zur Quantifizierung der Interkonnektivität zwischen Poren dient, wird der potentiellen Beitrag an Permeabilität jedes Porentyps zur Gesamtpermeabilität bestimmt. Somit können die effektivsten Porentypen innerhalb der analysierten Karbonate identifiziert werden. Desweiteren wird die digitale Bildanalyse dazu benutzt, zementierte Porenräume zu extrahieren, um den Einfluss der Zementation auf die Porenraumeigenschaften zu quantifizieren. Durch eine unabhängige Methode (Fluid-Flow-Simulation), deren Ergebnisse wiederum mit der digitalen Bildanalyse ausgewertet werden, können die vorherigen Erkentnisse bestätigt werden: Interpeloidale Poren und Lösungsporen sind die beiden effektivsten Porentypen im Porenraum der Riesseekarbonate. Die Extraktion des miteinander verbundenen (d.h. effektiven) Porennetzwerkes führt schließlich zu einer erheblich verbesserten Korrelation zwischen Porosität und Permeabilität in den analysierten Karbonaten. Die in dieser Arbeit beschriebene Methode bietet ein quantitatives petrographisches Werkzeug, mit dessen Hilfe die effektive Porosität eines Porenraumes extrahiert werden kann. Dies führt zu einem besseren Verständnis darüber, wie Porensysteme von Karbonaten Permeabilität erzeugen. Diese Dissertation zeigt auch, dass die Formkomplexität von Poren einer der wichtigsten Parameter ist, der die Interkonnektivität zwischen einzelnen Poren und somit die Entstehung von effektiver Porosität steuert. Außerdem erweist sich die digitale Bildanalyse als ausgezeichnetes Werkzeug um die Porosität und Permeabilität direkt an ihren gemeinsamen Ursprung zu knüpfen: die Gesteinstextur und die damit assoziierte Porenstruktur.
The natural abundance of Coiled Coil (CC) motifs in cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix proteins suggests that CCs play an important role as passive (structural) and active (regulatory) mechanical building blocks. CCs are self-assembled superhelical structures consisting of 2-7 α-helices. Self-assembly is driven by hydrophobic and ionic interactions, while the helix propensity of the individual helices contributes additional stability to the structure. As a direct result of this simple sequence-structure relationship, CCs serve as templates for protein design and sequences with a pre-defined thermodynamic stability have been synthesized de novo. Despite this quickly increasing knowledge and the vast number of possible CC applications, the mechanical function of CCs has been largely overlooked and little is known about how different CC design parameters determine the mechanical stability of CCs. Once available, this knowledge will open up new applications for CCs as nanomechanical building blocks, e.g. in biomaterials and nanobiotechnology.
With the goal of shedding light on the sequence-structure-mechanics relationship of CCs, a well-characterized heterodimeric CC was utilized as a model system. The sequence of this model system was systematically modified to investigate how different design parameters affect the CC response when the force is applied to opposing termini in a shear geometry or separated in a zipper-like fashion from the same termini (unzip geometry). The force was applied using an atomic force microscope set-up and dynamic single-molecule force spectroscopy was performed to determine the rupture forces and energy landscape properties of the CC heterodimers under study. Using force as a denaturant, CC chain separation is initiated by helix uncoiling from the force application points. In the shear geometry, this allows uncoiling-assisted sliding parallel to the force vector or dissociation perpendicular to the force vector. Both competing processes involve the opening of stabilizing hydrophobic (and ionic) interactions. Also in the unzip geometry, helix uncoiling precedes the rupture of hydrophobic contacts.
In a first series of experiments, the focus was placed on canonical modifications in the hydrophobic core and the helix propensity. Using the shear geometry, it was shown that both a reduced core packing and helix propensity lower the thermodynamic and mechanical stability of the CC; however, with different effects on the energy landscape of the system. A less tightly packed hydrophobic core increases the distance to the transition state, with only a small effect on the barrier height. This originates from a more dynamic and less tightly packed core, which provides more degrees of freedom to respond to the applied force in the direction of the force vector. In contrast, a reduced helix propensity decreases both the distance to the transition state and the barrier height. The helices are ‘easier’ to unfold and the remaining structure is less thermodynamically stable so that dissociation perpendicular to the force axis can occur at smaller deformations.
Having elucidated how canonical sequence modifications influence CC mechanics, the pulling geometry was investigated in the next step. Using one and the same sequence, the force application points were exchanged and two different shear and one unzipping geometry were compared. It was shown that the pulling geometry determines the mechanical stability of the CC. Different rupture forces were observed in the different shear as well as in the unzipping geometries, suggesting that chain separation follows different pathways on the energy landscape. Whereas the difference between CC shearing and unzipping was anticipated and has also been observed for other biological structures, the observed difference for the two shear geometries was less expected. It can be explained with the structural asymmetry of the CC heterodimer. It is proposed that the direction of the α-helices, the different local helix propensities and the position of a polar asparagine in the hydrophobic core are responsible for the observed difference in the chain separation pathways. In combination, these factors are considered to influence the interplay between processes parallel and perpendicular to the force axis.
To obtain more detailed insights into the role of helix stability, helical turns were reinforced locally using artificial constraints in the form of covalent and dynamic ‘staples’. A covalent staple bridges to adjacent helical turns, thus protecting them against uncoiling. The staple was inserted directly at the point of force application in one helix or in the same terminus of the other helix, which did not experience the force directly. It was shown that preventing helix uncoiling at the point of force application reduces the distance to the transition state while slightly increasing the barrier height. This confirms that helix uncoiling is critically important for CC chain separation. When inserted into the second helix, this stabilizing effect is transferred across the hydrophobic core and protects the force-loaded turns against uncoiling. If both helices were stapled, no additional increase in mechanical stability was observed. When replacing the covalent staple with a dynamic metal-coordination bond, a smaller decrease in the distance to the transition was observed, suggesting that the staple opens up while the CC is under load.
Using fluorinated amino acids as another type of non-natural modification, it was investigated how the enhanced hydrophobicity and the altered packing at the interface influences CC mechanics. The fluorinated amino acid was inserted into one central heptad of one or both α-helices. It was shown that this substitution destabilized the CC thermodynamically and mechanically. Specifically, the barrier height was decreased and the distance to the transition state increased. This suggests that a possible stabilizing effect of the increased hydrophobicity is overruled by a disturbed packing, which originates from a bad fit of the fluorinated amino acid into the local environment. This in turn increases the flexibility at the interface, as also observed for the hydrophobic core substitution described above. In combination, this confirms that the arrangement of the hydrophobic side chains is an additional crucial factor determining the mechanical stability of CCs.
In conclusion, this work shows that knowledge of the thermodynamic stability alone is not sufficient to predict the mechanical stability of CCs. It is the interplay between helix propensity and hydrophobic core packing that defines the sequence-structure-mechanics relationship. In combination, both parameters determine the relative contribution of processes parallel and perpendicular to the force axis, i.e. helix uncoiling and uncoiling-assisted sliding as well as dissociation. This new mechanistic knowledge provides insight into the mechanical function of CCs in tissues and opens up the road for designing CCs with pre-defined mechanical properties. The library of mechanically characterized CCs developed in this work is a powerful starting point for a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from molecular force sensors to mechanosensitive crosslinks in protein nanostructures and synthetic extracellular matrix mimics.
Species assembly from a regional pool into local metacommunities and how they colonize and coexist over time and space is essential to understand how communities response to their environment including abiotic and biotic factors. In highly disturbed landscapes, connectivity of isolated habitat patches is essential to maintain biodiversity and the entire ecosystem functioning. In northeast Germany, a high density of the small water bodies called kettle holes, are good systems to study metacommunities due to their condition as “aquatic islands” suitable for hygrophilous species that are surrounded by in unsuitable matrix of crop fields. The main objective of this thesis was to infer the main ecological processes shaping plant communities and their response to the environment, from biodiversity patterns and key life-history traits involved in connectivity using ecological and genetic approaches; and to provide first insights of the role of kettle holes harboring wild-bee species as important mobile linkers connecting plant communities in this insular system.
t a community level, I compared plant diversity patterns and trait composition in ephemeral vs. permanent kettle holes). My results showed that types of kettle holes act as environmental filers shaping plant diversity, community-composition and trait-distribution, suggesting species sorting and niche processes in both types of kettle holes. At a population level, I further analyzed the role of dispersal and reproductive strategies of four selected species occurring in permanent kettle holes. Using microsatellites, I found that breeding system (degree of clonality), is the main factor shaping genetic diversity and genetic divergence. Although, higher gene flow and lower genetic differentiation among populations in wind vs. insect pollinated species was also found, suggesting that dispersal mechanisms played a role related to gene flow and connectivity. For most flowering plants, pollinators play an important role connecting communities. Therefore, as a first insight of the potential mobile linkers of these plant communities, I investigated the diversity wild-bees occurring in these kettle holes. My main results showed that local habitat quality (flower resources) had a positive effect on bee diversity, while habitat heterogeneity (number of natural landscape elements surrounding kettle holes 100–300m), was negatively correlated.
This thesis covers from genetic flow at individual and population level to plant community assembly. My results showed how patterns of biodiversity, dispersal and reproduction strategies in plant population and communities can be used to infer ecological processes. In addition, I showed the importance of life-history traits and the relationship between species and their abiotic and biotic interactions. Furthermore, I included a different level of mobile linkers (pollinators) for a better understanding of another level of the system. This integration is essential to understand how communities respond to their surrounding environment and how disturbances such as agriculture, land-use and climate change might affect them. I highlight the need to integrate many scientific areas covering from genes to ecosystems at different spatiotemporal scales for a better understanding, management and conservation of our ecosystems.
Geomagnetic paleosecular variations (PSVs) are an expression of geodynamo processes inside the Earth’s liquid outer core. These paleomagnetic time series provide insights into the properties of the Earth’s magnetic field, from normal behavior with a dominating dipolar geometry, over field crises, such as pronounced intensity lows and geomagnetic excursions with a distorted field geometry, to the complete reversal of the dominating dipole contribution. Particularly, long-term high-resolution and high-quality PSV time series are needed for properly reconstructing the higher frequency components in the spectrum of geomagnetic field variations and for a better understanding of the effects of smoothing during the recording of such paleomagnetic records by sedimentary archives.
In this doctorate study, full vector paleomagnetic records were derived from 16 sediment cores recovered from the southeastern Black Sea. Age models are based on radiocarbon dating and correlations of warming/cooling cycles monitored by high-resolution X-ray fluorescence (XRF) elementary ratios as well as ice-rafted debris (IRD) in Black Sea sediments to the sequence of ‘Dansgaard-Oeschger’ (DO) events defined from Greenland ice core oxygen isotope stratigraphy.
In order to identify the carriers of magnetization in Black Sea sediments, core MSM33-55-1 recovered from the southeast Black Sea was subjected to detailed rock magnetic and electron microscopy investigations. The younger part of core MSM33-55-1 was continuously deposited since 41 ka. Before 17.5 ka, the magnetic minerals were dominated by a mixture of greigite (Fe3S4) and titanomagnetite (Fe3-xTixO4) in samples with SIRM/κLF >10 kAm-1, or exclusively by titanomagnetite in samples with SIRM/κLF ≤10 kAm-1. It was found that greigite is generally present as crustal aggregates in locally reducing micro-environments. From 17.5 ka to 8.3 ka, the dominant magnetic mineral in this transition phase was changing from greigite (17.5 – ~10.0 ka) to probably silicate-hosted titanomagnetite (~10.0 – 8.3 ka). After 8.3 ka, the anoxic Black Sea was a favorable environment for the formation of non-magnetic pyrite (FeS2) framboids.
Aiming to avoid compromising of paleomagnetic data by erroneous directions carried by greigite, paleomagnetic data from samples with SIRM/κLF >10 kAm-1, shown to contain greigite by various methods, were removed from obtained records. Consequently, full vector paleomagnetic records, comprising directional data and relative paleointensity (rPI), were derived only from samples with SIRM/κLF ≤10 kAm-1 from 16 Black Sea sediment cores. The obtained data sets were used to create a stack covering the time window between 68.9 and 14.5 ka with temporal resolution between 40 and 100 years, depending on sedimentation rates.
At 64.5 ka, according to obtained results from Black Sea sediments, the second deepest minimum in relative paleointensity during the past 69 ka occurred. The field minimum during MIS 4 is associated with large declination swings beginning about 3 ka before the minimum. While a swing to 50°E is associated with steep inclinations (50-60°) according to the coring site at 42°N, the subsequent declination swing to 30°W is associated with shallow inclinations of down to 40°. Nevertheless, these large deviations from the direction of a geocentric axial dipole field (I=61°, D=0°) still can not yet be termed as 'excursional', since latitudes of corresponding VGPs only reach down to 51.5°N (120°E) and 61.5°N (75°W), respectively. However, these VGP positions at opposite sides of the globe are linked with VGP drift rates of up to 0.2° per year in between. These extreme secular variations might be the mid-latitude expression of the Norwegian–Greenland Sea excursion found at several sites much further North in Arctic marine sediments between 69°N and 81°N.
At about 34.5 ka, the Mono Lake excursion is evidenced in the stacked Black Sea PSV record by both a rPI minimum and directional shifts. Associated VGPs from stacked Black Sea data migrated from Alaska, via central Asia and the Tibetan Plateau, to Greenland, performing a clockwise loop. This agrees with data recorded in the Wilson Creek Formation, USA., and Arctic sediment core PS2644-5 from the Iceland Sea, suggesting a dominant dipole field. On the other hand, the Auckland lava flows, New Zealand, the Summer Lake, USA., and Arctic sediment core from ODP Site-919 yield distinct VGPs located in the central Pacific Ocean due to a presumably non-dipole (multi-pole) field configuration.
A directional anomaly at 18.5 ka, associated with pronounced swings in inclination and declination, as well as a low in rPI, is probably contemporaneous with the Hilina Pali excursion, originally reported from Hawaiian lava flows. However, virtual geomagnetic poles (VGPs) calculated from Black Sea sediments are not located at latitudes lower than 60° N, which denotes normal, though pronounced secular variations. During the postulated Hilina Pali excursion, the VGPs calculated from Black Sea data migrated clockwise only along the coasts of the Arctic Ocean from NE Canada (20.0 ka), via Alaska (18.6 ka) and NE Siberia (18.0 ka) to Svalbard (17.0 ka), then looping clockwise through the Eastern Arctic Ocean.
In addition to the Mono Lake and the Norwegian–Greenland Sea excursions, the Laschamp excursion was evidenced in the Black Sea PSV record with the lowest paleointensities at about 41.6 ka and a short-term (~500 years) full reversal centered at 41 ka. These excursions are further evidenced by an abnormal PSV index, though only the Laschamp and the Mono Lake excursions exhibit excursional VGP positions. The stacked Black Sea paleomagnetic record was also converted into one component parallel to the direction expected from a geocentric axial dipole (GAD) and two components perpendicular to it, representing only non-GAD components of the geomagnetic field. The Laschamp and the Norwegian–Greenland Sea excursions are characterized by extremely low GAD components, while the Mono Lake excursion is marked by large non-GAD contributions. Notably, negative values of the GAD component, indicating a fully reversed geomagnetic field, are observed only during the Laschamp excursion.
In summary, this doctoral thesis reconstructed high-resolution and high-fidelity PSV records from SE Black Sea sediments. The obtained record comprises three geomagnetic excursions, the Norwegian–Greenland Sea excursion, the Laschamp excursion, and the Mono Lake excursion. They are characterized by abnormal secular variations of different amplitudes centered at about 64.5 ka, 41.0 ka and 34.5 ka, respectively. In addition, the obtained PSV record from the Black Sea do not provide evidence for the postulated 'Hilina Pali excursion' at about 18.5 ka. Anyway, the obtained Black Sea paleomagnetic record, covering field fluctuations from normal secular variations, over excursions, to a short but full reversal, points to a geomagnetic field characterized by a large dynamic range in intensity and a highly variable superposition of dipole and non-dipole contributions from the geodynamo during the past 68.9 to 14.5 ka.
Quantum field theory on curved spacetimes is understood as a semiclassical approximation of some quantum theory of gravitation, which models a quantum field under the influence of a classical gravitational field, that is, a curved spacetime. The most remarkable effect predicted by this approach is the creation of particles by the spacetime itself, represented, for instance, by Hawking's evaporation of black holes or the Unruh effect. On the other hand, these aspects already suggest that certain cornerstones of Minkowski quantum field theory, more precisely a preferred vacuum state and, consequently, the concept of particles, do not have sensible counterparts within a theory on general curved spacetimes. Likewise, the implementation of covariance in the model has to be reconsidered, as curved spacetimes usually lack any non-trivial global symmetry. Whereas this latter issue has been resolved by introducing the paradigm of locally covariant quantum field theory (LCQFT), the absence of a reasonable concept for distinct vacuum and particle states on general curved spacetimes has become manifest even in the form of no-go-theorems.
Within the framework of algebraic quantum field theory, one first introduces observables, while states enter the game only afterwards by assigning expectation values to them. Even though the construction of observables is based on physically motivated concepts, there is still a vast number of possible states, and many of them are not reasonable from a physical point of view. We infer that this notion is still too general, that is, further physical constraints are required. For instance, when dealing with a free quantum field theory driven by a linear field equation, it is natural to focus on so-called quasifree states. Furthermore, a suitable renormalization procedure for products of field operators is vitally important. This particularly concerns the expectation values of the energy momentum tensor, which correspond to distributional bisolutions of the field equation on the curved spacetime. J. Hadamard's theory of hyperbolic equations provides a certain class of bisolutions with fixed singular part, which therefore allow for an appropriate renormalization scheme.
By now, this specification of the singularity structure is known as the Hadamard condition and widely accepted as the natural generalization of the spectral condition of flat quantum field theory. Moreover, due to Radzikowski's celebrated results, it is equivalent to a local condition, namely on the wave front set of the bisolution. This formulation made the powerful tools of microlocal analysis, developed by Duistermaat and Hörmander, available for the verification of the Hadamard property as well as the construction of corresponding Hadamard states, which initiated much progress in this field. However, although indispensable for the investigation in the characteristics of operators and their parametrices, microlocal analyis is not practicable for the study of their non-singular features and central results are typically stated only up to smooth objects. Consequently, Radzikowski's work almost directly led to existence results and, moreover, a concrete pattern for the construction of Hadamard bidistributions via a Hadamard series. Nevertheless, the remaining properties (bisolution, causality, positivity) are ensured only modulo smooth functions.
It is the subject of this thesis to complete this construction for linear and formally self-adjoint wave operators acting on sections in a vector bundle over a globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifold. Based on Wightman's solution of d'Alembert's equation on Minkowski space and the construction for the advanced and retarded fundamental solution, we set up a Hadamard series for local parametrices and derive global bisolutions from them. These are of Hadamard form and we show existence of smooth bisections such that the sum also satisfies the remaining properties exactly.
Skarn deposits are found on every continents and were formed at different times from Precambrian to Tertiary. Typically, the formation of a skarn is induced by a granitic intrusion in carbonates-rich sedimentary rocks. During contact metamorphism, fluids derived from the granite interact with the sedimentary host rocks, which results in the formation of calc-silicate minerals at the expense of carbonates. Those newly formed minerals generally develop in a metamorphic zoned aureole with garnet in the proximal and pyroxene in the distal zone. Ore elements contained in magmatic fluids are precipitated due to the change in fluid composition. The temperature decrease of the entire system, due to the cooling of magmatic fluids and the entering of meteoric water, allows retrogression of some prograde minerals.
The Hämmerlein skarn deposit has a multi-stage history with a skarn formation during regional metamorphism and a retrogression of primary skarn minerals during the granitic intrusion. Tin was mobilized during both events. The 340 Ma old tin-bearing skarn minerals show that tin was present in sediments before the granite intrusion, and that the first Sn enrichment occurred during the skarn formation by regional metamorphism fluids. In a second step at ca. 320 Ma, tin-bearing fluids were produced with the intrusion of the Eibenstock granite. Tin, which has been added by the granite and remobilized from skarn calc-silicates, precipitated as cassiterite.
Compared to clay or marl, the skarn is enriched in Sn, W, In, Zn, and Cu. These metals have been supplied during both regional metamorphism and granite emplacement. In addition, the several isotopic and chemical data of skarn samples show that the granite selectively added elements such as Sn, and that there was no visible granitic contribution to the sedimentary signature of the skarn
The example of Hämmerlein shows that it is possible to form a tin-rich skarn without associated granite when tin has already been transported from tin-bearing sediments during regional metamorphism by aqueous metamorphic fluids. These skarns are economically not interesting if tin is only contained in the skarn minerals. Later alteration of the skarn (the heat and fluid source is not necessarily a granite), however, can lead to the formation of secondary cassiterite (SnO2), with which the skarn can become economically highly interesting.
Cette thèse d’urbanisme s’est donnée pour objectif de réfléchir à l’avenir des gares métropolitaines françaises et allemandes à horizon 2050. Elle porte une interrogation sur les fondements de la gare comme objet urbain conceptuel (abordé comme un système) et pose comme hypothèse qu’il serait en quelque sorte doté de propriétés autonomes. Parmi ces propriétés, c’est le processus d’expansion et de dialogue sans cesse renouvelé et conflictuel, entre la gare et son tissu urbain environnant, qui guide cette recherche ; notamment dans le rapport qu’il entretient avec l’hypermobilité des métropoles. Pour ce faire, cette thèse convoque quatre terrains d’études : les gares principales de Cologne et de Stuttgart en Allemagne et les gares de Paris-Montparnasse et Lyon-Part-Dieu en France ; et commence par un historique détaillé de leurs évolutions morphologiques, pour dégager une série de variables architectoniques et urbaines. Il procède dans un deuxième temps à une série d’analyse prospective, permettant de juger de l’influence possible des politiques publiques en matière transports et de mobilité, sur l’avenir conceptuel des gares. Cette thèse propose alors le concept de système-gare, pour décrire l’expansion et l’intégration des gares métropolitaines avec leur environnement urbain ; un processus de négociation dialectique qui ne trouve pas sa résolution dans le concept de gare comme lieu de vie/ville. Elle invite alors à penser la gare comme une hétérotopie, et propose une lecture dépolarisée et déhiérarchisée de ces espaces, en introduisant les concepts d’orchestre de gares et de métagare. Cette recherche propose enfin une lecture critique de la « ville numérique » et du concept de « mobilité comme service. » Pour éviter une mise en flux tendus potentiellement dommageables, l’application de ces concepts en gare ne pourra se soustraire à une augmentation simultanée des espaces physiques.
Floods are among the most costly natural hazards that affect Europe and Germany, demanding a continuous adaptation of flood risk management. While social and economic development in recent years altered the flood risk patterns mainly with regard to an increase in flood exposure, different flood events are further expected to increase in frequency and severity in certain European regions due to climate change. As a result of recent major flood events in Germany, the German flood risk management shifted to more integrated approaches that include private precaution and preparation to reduce the damage on exposed assets. Yet, detailed insights into the preparedness decisions of flood-prone households remain scarce, especially in connection to mental impacts and individual coping strategies after being affected by different flood types.
This thesis aims to gain insights into flash floods as a costly hazard in certain German regions and compares the damage driving factors to the damage driving factors of river floods. Furthermore, psychological impacts as well as the effects on coping and mitigation behaviour of flood-affected households are assessed. In this context, psychological models such as the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) and methods such as regressions and Bayesian statistics are used to evaluate influencing factors on the mental coping after an event and to identify psychological variables that are connected to intended private flood mitigation. The database consists of surveys that were conducted among affected households after major river floods in 2013 and flash floods in 2016.
The main conclusions that can be drawn from this thesis reveal that the damage patterns and damage driving factors of strong flash floods differ significantly from those of river floods due to a rapid flow origination process, higher flow velocities and flow forces. However, the effects on mental coping of people that have been affected by flood events appear to be weakly influenced by different flood types, but yet show a coherence to the event severity, where often thinking of the respective event is pronounced and also connected to a higher mitigation motivation. The mental coping and preparation after floods is further influenced by a good information provision and a social environment, which encourages a positive attitude towards private mitigation.
As an overall recommendation, approaches for an integrated flood risk management in Germany should be followed that also take flash floods into account and consider psychological characteristics of affected households to support and promote private flood mitigation. Targeted information campaigns that concern coping options and discuss current flood risks are important to better prepare for future flood hazards in Germany.
Organic semiconductors are a promising class of materials. Their special properties are the particularly good absorption, low weight and easy processing into thin films. Therefore, intense research has been devoted to the realization of thin film organic solar cells (OPVs). Because of the low dielectric constant of organic semiconductors, primary excitations (excitons) are strongly bound and a type II heterojunction needs to be introduced to split these excitations into free charges. Therefore, most organic solar cells consist of at least an electron donor and electron acceptor material. For such donor acceptor systems mainly three states are relevant; the photoexcited exciton on the donor or acceptor material, the charge transfer state at the donor-acceptor interface and the charge separated state of a free electron and hole. The interplay between these states significantly determines the efficiency of organic solar cells. Due to the high absorption and the low charge carrier mobilities, the active layers are usually thin but also, exciton dissociation and free charge formation proceeds rapidely, which makes the study of carrier dynamics highly challenging.
Therefore, the focus of this work was first to install new experimental setups for the investigation of the charge carrier dynamics in complete devices with superior sensitivity and time resolution and, second, to apply these methods to prototypical photovoltaic materials to address specific questions in the field of organic and hybrid photovoltaics.
Regarding the first goal, a new setup combining transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) and time delayed collection field (TDCF) was designed and installed in Potsdam. An important part of this work concerned the improvement of the electronic components with respect to time resolution and sensitivity. To this end, a highly sensitive amplifier for driving and detecting the device response in TDCF was developed. This system was then applied to selected organic and hybrid model systems with a particular focus on the understanding of the loss mechanisms that limit the fill factor and short circuit current of organic solar cells.
The first model system was a hybrid photovoltaic material comprising inorganic quantum dots decorated with organic ligands. Measurements with TDCF revealed fast free carrier recombination, in part assisted by traps, while bias-assisted charge extraction measurements showed high mobility. The measured parameters then served as input for a successful description of the device performance with an analytical model.
With a further improvement of the instrumentation, a second topic was the detailed analysis of non-geminate recombination in a disordered polymer:fullerene blend where an important question was the effect of disorder on the carrier dynamics. The measurements revealed that early time highly mobile charges undergo fast non-geminate recombination at the contacts, causing an apparent field dependence of free charge generation in TDCF experiments if not conducted properly. On the other hand, recombination the later time scale was determined by dispersive recombination in the bulk of the active layer, showing the characteristics of carrier dynamics in an exponential density of state distribution. Importantly, the comparison with steady state recombination data suggested a very weak impact of non-thermalized carriers on the recombination properties of the solar cells under application relevant illumination conditions.
Finally, temperature and field dependent studies of free charge generation were performed on three donor-acceptor combinations, with two donor polymers of the same material family blended with two different fullerene acceptor molecules. These particular material combinations were chosen to analyze the influence of the energetic and morphology of the blend on the efficiency of charge generation. To this end, activation energies for photocurrent generation were accurately determined for a wide range of excitation energies. The results prove that the formation of free charge is via thermalized charge transfer states and does not involve hot exciton splitting. Surprisingly, activation energies were of the order of thermal energy at room temperature. This led to the important conclusion that organic solar cells perform well not because of predominate high energy pathways but because the thermalized CT states are weakly bound. In addition, a model is introduced to interconnect the dissociation efficiency of the charge transfer state with its recombination observable with photoluminescence, which rules out a previously proposed two-pool model for free charge formation and recombination. Finally, based on the results, proposals for the further development of organic solar cells are formulated.
The present work is a compilation of three original research articles submitted (or already published) in international peer-reviewed venues of the field of speech science. These three articles address the topics of fundamental motor laws in speech and dynamics of corresponding speech movements:

The present work introduces a metronome-driven speech elicitation paradigm in which participants were asked to utter repetitive sequences of elementary consonant-vowel syllables. This paradigm, explicitly designed to cover speech rates from a substantially wider range than has been explored so far in previous work, is demonstrated to satisfy the important prerequisites for assessing so far difficult to access aspects of speech. Specifically, the paradigm's extensive speech rate manipulation enabled elicitation of a great range of movement speeds as well as movement durations and excursions of the relevant effectors. The presence of such variation is a prerequisite to assessing whether invariant relations between these and other parameters exist and thus provides the foundation for a rigorous evaluation of the two laws examined in the first two contributions of this work.
In the data resulting from this paradigm, it is shown that speech movements obey the same fundamental laws as movements from other domains of motor control do. In particular, it is demonstrated that speech strongly adheres to the power law relation between speed and curvature of movement with a clear speech rate dependency of the power law's exponent. The often-sought or reported exponent of one third in the statement of the law is unique to a subclass of movements which corresponds to the range of faster rates under which a particular utterance is produced. For slower rates, significantly larger values than one third are observed. Furthermore, for the first time in speech this work uncovers evidence for the presence of Fitts' law. It is shown that, beyond a speaker-specific speech rate, speech movements of the tongue clearly obey Fitts' law by emergence of its characteristic linear relation between movement time and index of difficulty. For slower speech rates (when temporal pressure is small), no such relation is observed. The methods and datasets obtained in the two assessment above provide a rigorous foundation both for addressing implications for theories and models of speech as well as for better understanding the status of speech movements in the context of human movements in general.
All modern theories of language rely on a fundamental segmental hypothesis according to which the phonological message of an utterance is represented by a sequence of segments or phonemes. It is commonly assumed that each of these phonemes can be mapped to some unit of speech motor action, a so-called speech gesture.
For the first time here, it is demonstrated that the relation between the phonological description of simple utterances and the corresponding speech motor action is non-unique. Specifically, by the extensive speech rate manipulation in the herein used experimental paradigm it is demonstrated that speech exhibits clearly distinct dynamical organizations underlying the production of simple utterances. At slower speech rates, the dynamical organization underlying the repetitive production of elementary /CV/ syllables can be described by successive concatenations of closing and opening gestures, each with its own equilibrium point. As speech rate increases, the equilibria of opening and closing gestures are not equally stable yielding qualitatively different modes of organization with either a single equilibrium point of a combined opening-closing gesture or a periodic attractor unleashed by the disappearance of both equilibria. This observation, the non-uniqueness of the dynamical organization underlying what on the surface appear to be identical phonemic sequences, is an entirely new result in the domain of speech. Beyond that, the demonstration of periodic attractors in speech reveals that dynamical equilibrium point models do not account for all possible modes of speech motor behavior.
Earthquake swarms are characterized by large numbers of events occurring in a short period of time within a confined source volume and without significant mainshock aftershock pattern as opposed to tectonic sequences. Intraplate swarms in the absence of active volcanism usually occur in continental rifts as for example in the Eger Rift zone in North West Bohemia, Czech Republic. A common hypothesis links event triggering to pressurized fluids. However, the exact causal chain is often poorly understood since the underlying geotectonic processes are slow compared to tectonic sequences. The high event rate during active periods challenges standard seismological routines as these are often designed for single events and therefore costly in terms of human resources when working with phase picks or computationally costly when exploiting full waveforms.
This methodological thesis develops new approaches to analyze earthquake swarm seismicity as well as the underlying seismogenic volume. It focuses on the region of North West (NW) Bohemia, a well studied, well monitored earthquake swarm region.
In this work I develop and test an innovative approach to detect and locate earthquakes using deep convolutional neural networks. This technology offers great potential as it allows to efficiently process large amounts of data which becomes increasingly important given that seismological data storage grows at increasing pace. The proposed deep neural network trained on NW Bohemian earthquake swarm records is able to locate 1000 events in less than 1 second using full waveforms while approaching precision of double difference relocated catalogs. A further technological novelty is that the trained filters of the deep neural network’s first layer can be repurposed to function as a pattern matching event detector without additional training on noise datasets. For further methodological development and benchmarking, I present a new toolbox to generate realistic earthquake cluster catalogs as well as synthetic full waveforms of those clusters in an automated fashion. The input is parameterized using constraints on source volume geometry, nucleation and frequency-magnitude relations. It harnesses recorded noise to produce highly realistic synthetic data for benchmarking and development. This tool is used to study and assess detection performance in terms of magnitude of completeness Mc of a full waveform detector applied to synthetic data of a hydrofracturing experiment at the Wysin site, Poland.
Finally, I present and demonstrate a novel approach to overcome the masking effects of wave propagation between earthquake and stations and to determine source volume attenuation directly in the source volume where clustered earthquakes occur. The new event couple spectral ratio approach exploits high frequency spectral slopes of two events sharing the greater part of their rays. Synthetic tests based on the toolbox mentioned before show that this method is able to infer seismic wave attenuation within the source volume at high spatial resolution. Furthermore, it is independent from the distance towards a station as well as the complexity of the attenuation and velocity structure outside of the source volume of swarms. The application to recordings of the NW Bohemian earthquake swarm shows increased P phase attenuation within the source volume (Qp < 100) based on results at a station located close to the village Luby (LBC). The recordings of a station located in epicentral proximity, close to Nový Kostel (NKC), show a relatively high complexity indicating that waves arriving at that station experience more scattering than signals recorded at other stations. The high level of complexity destabilizes the inversion. Therefore, the Q estimate at NKC is not reliable and an independent proof of the high attenuation finding given the geometrical and frequency constraints is still to be done. However, a high attenuation in the source volume of NW Bohemian swarms has been postulated before in relation to an expected, highly damaged zone bearing CO 2 at high pressure.
The methods developed in the course of this thesis yield the potential to improve our understanding regarding the role of fluids and gases in intraplate event clustering.
