The combustion of hydrocarbons in a gas turbine will form the basis for aircraft propulsion for the foreseeable future. In order to minimize the environmental impact of this technology, novel combustion processes must be developed and loss processes within the gas turbine combustion chamber optimized. Current research areas relate to lean premixed combustion and the optimization of the cooling air requirement of the effusion-cooled combustion chamber wall. The aim of this work is to set up a gas turbine combustor...

On the other hand, it stands for sexual self-empowerment, sex positivism and the expression of one's own sexuality independent of...

Pharmacoepidemiological databases are a very useful tool, without which well-directed quality improvements and targeted risk management of adverse drug effects would not be possible. Data from such retrospective databases allow investigations into specific subpopulations - e.g., groups with specific diagnoses - thanks to their size and duration of observation. Regarding the quality of such data, it has been proven that carefully planned observational studies can produce results comparable to those of randomized controlled trials. This book presents eight epidemiological and...

Every cell is capable of synthesizing and storing triacylglycerols (TAGs) as carbon and/or energy source. Although the biosynthetic pathways that lead to the formation of TAG are well established, knowledge of the factors that determine the amount of TAG to be synthesized in a cell is still scarce. Thus, the overall aim of this thesis is to analyze the role of sub- or micro-domains of the ER and lipid droplets (LD) in TAG formation and to use the knowledge gained...
