Dependence of Aspergillus niger on secretions of neighbouring colonies.
(2023)Heterogeneity can be observed at many different levels in the ascomycete Aspergillus niger. This study mainly focusses on the heterogeneity in the secretion of glucoamylase. To this end, a CRISPR-Cas9 approach was used to ... -
Modelling the seasonal distribution of macrozoobenthos in intertidal areas of the Dtuch Wadden Sea using novel rmeote sensing and deep learning methods
(2023)Macrozoobenthos are an essential constituent of intertidal systems and their food webs. Changes in their distributions affect higher levels in the food web, such as fish and coastal birds, and can also can serve as indicators ... -
The selection of functional values and practices in industry-funded nutrition science
(2023)Industry-funded research in nutrition science tends to generate knowledge that is beneficial to the funder. This effect is known to distort our knowledge of nutrition, and consequently undermine public health policy and ... -

Review of Bioinspired Innovations and the Potential Sustainability Contributions
(2023)In recent decades, innovations inspired by nature have received much attention as biological knowledge can boost the development of sustainable and innovative design. Due to global warming, the need for an immediate reduction ... -
Recruitment of microbial communities involved in the soil borne legacy of disease
(2023)Plants host an immense and diverse community of microbes, throughout their leaves to the roots and into the surrounding soil. These complex communities provide many benefits to their hosts in exchange for nutrient. For ... -
An Unexpected Hero: Reduction-based Explicitation in Avengers: Endgame
(2023)As previous research on reduction in subtitling has mainly focussed on implicitation, this thesis explores the potential of reduction-based explicitation by categorising and quantifying the ways in which it occurs in the ... -
Reactive oxygen species and their influence on mediating salinity tolerance mecahnisms in Triticum aestivum
(2023)Soil salinity has detrimental impact on wheat productivity and since wheat is amongst the most important crops for human consumption, soil salinization imposes a major threat to global food security. Currently we know ... -
Nature based solutions and their success in Climate Tech
(2023)Since the start of the industrial revolution, anthropogenic activities have increased the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, leading to catastrophic changes to Earth’s ecosystem and human lives. In order to stop ... -
Elucidating the role of the anorectic gut microbiome in value-based decision making and reward signaling
(2023)Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is one of the most serious chronic disorders of youth and current treatment strategies are only moderately effective. The physiology at heart of AN remains to be deciphered. Aberrances in value-based ... -
An exploratory study on the role of active sleep in microstructural development of corticospinal tracts in preterm infants.
(2023)Layman's summary. Infants during pregnancy undergo a lot of changes in their organism, including their brain and specific parts of it. Some infants are born too early with not enough time spent in the protective place that ... -
Nature Calling. Visualizing the bounded exploitation of nature and women in the Anthropocene according to decolonial, ecofeminist and post humanist theory.
(2023)Since climate change is unfolding and women and girls experience the greatest impacts, I will in this thesis use film as a tool to draw attention on the bounded exploitation of nature and women. With the use of the method ... -

(2023)From being reliant on foreign military technologies to developing domestically produced hardware, Türkiye – in the last decade – has developed a burgeoning drone industry that seemingly provides the country international ... -
Size determination and frequency response of a single nanoemulsion droplet
(2023)Understanding properties of small particles, such as their size is important in many applications, for example in diagnostics and imaging methods. Often, the particles are dispersed in another solution, think for example ... -
Point Line Segment Cover
(2023)In this thesis, we consider the Point Line Segment Cover problem in a parameterized setting. In this problem, we have to decide for a given set of points in the plane, and an integer k, whether all points can be covered ... -
