We present an elastic registration algorithm for the alignment of biological images. Our method combines and extends some of the best techniques available in the context of medical imaging. We express the deformation field as a B-spline model, which allows ...
Since many biological processes occur on the μs to ms time scale, internal dynamics on that time scale may well be related to biological functionality. The characterization of internal dynamics is thus an important issue to improve our understanding of the ...
A model to study charge transport processes in mesoporous films of dye-sensitized solar cells is presented. By simulating electron and ion transport by Brownian dynamics in these films, a direct relation between grain connectivity and effective diffusion c ...
We develop ceramic structures using ceramic-precursor polymers. The possibility to modify easily the physical properties of the final ceramic structures just by doping the precursor with nanoparticles, makes them interesting for new MEMS and NEMS developme ...
The effect of gamma radiation on the physical-chemical properties of sodium alginate Algimar has been investigated. Dilution viscometry, densitometry, and FTIR spectroscopy served to identify modifications. Decreasing intrinsic viscosities clearly revealed ...
The optical properties of mols. in complex environments were studied within hybrid time-dependent d. functional theory / mol. mechanics (TDDFT/MM) simulation studies. The potential energy surface in the excited state is described within time-dependent d. f ...
Measurement of key plasma jet properties, such as the Mach number, electron density and temperature, in a low pressure environment, were performed using double Langmuir probes and Mach probes. In particular, under-expanded jets are studied in detail by per ...
Protein folding stands as one of the major interdisciplinary challenges of the last ten years, involving biology, chemistry, medicine and physics. In this PhD thesis, we investigate the solvent effects and the resulting hydrophobic effect on proteins. In p ...
The effects of the size (pseudo-generation number) and nature of end groups on physical and rheological properties were investigated for a series of hyperbranched polyesters based on an ethoxylated pentaerythritol core and 2,2-bis-(hydroxymethyl) propionic ...
The bi-directional plate bending behavior of a pultruded GFRP bridge deck system with orthotropic material and system properties was investigated by means of two full- scale experiments and numerical modeling. Furthermore, the maximum span of the deck betw ...
