The task of the master project is to analyse a data set with information of several hundred companies from Switzerland. The goal is to find in the Swiss industry sector a classification/typology for the nature of resource efficiency of innovating companies ...
Cells modulate the functional properties of their environment by depositing extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins during biological processes in vivo and in vitro. Despite the ECMs central role in tissue formation, its quantification in hydrogels like Matrig ...
Three quarters of the thesis will be devoted to the discussion of non equilibrium systems.
We show how certain biological systems cannot be described by standard thermodynamics.
The reason is that the energy consumption due to the hydrolysis of ATP imposes ...
A wide range of diseases show some degree of clustering in families; family history is therefore an important aspect for clinicians when making risk predictions. Familial aggregation is often quantified in terms of a familial relative risk (FRR), and altho ...
In the cryosphere, the snow cover is the fastest changing component. Amongst other characteristics, the snow cover acts as a resource of water or has the ability to reflect the suns radiation and therefore significantly influence the climate on a global sc ...
Chip-based optical waveguides formed by a silicon nitride (Si3N4) core and a silicon dioxide
(SiO2) cladding are an important platform for low loss waveguides and nonlinear optics.
High Q microresonators based on this material system have become a standard ...
Hydraulic turbines and pump-turbines are often required to operate in particular conditions at which they consume active power. To keep the power consumption at a minimum, it is necessary to dewater the runner to reduce the mechanical torque. One of these ...
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) are crucial redox cofactors regulating energy metabolism, reductive biosynthesis and the antioxidant defense system. Besides their role as redox cofactors, NAD(P ...
Infectious diseases are a leading cause of death across the world. One of the primary causes of infectious diseases are viruses. Since liquids are highly important in the transmission of viruses, the aims of this work are to i) quantify the transfer of vir ...
Hydromorphological conditions are a key factor for the habitat diversity in riverine ecosystems. The Hydromorphological Index of Diversity (HMID) is a tool to quantify the habitat diversity in a river reach based on local flow depths and flow velocities. T ...
