The aim of this paper was to establish sources for microplastic fibres and fragments based on the presence of specific colours (I) within different land use classes and (II) in relation to the location of wastewater treatment plants.

During this thesis nanoporous alumina has been used as a template for the synthesis of nano-confined palladium structures. The nanoporous templates have been synthesized by anodization of aluminum and characterized using atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), resulting in good statistics of the pore diameter and interpore distance

We consider the Hopfield model on graphs. Specifically we compare five different incomplete graphs on 4 or 5 vertices’s including a cycle, a path and a star. Provided is a proof of the Hamiltonian being monotonically decreasing under asynchronous network dynamics. This result is applied to the treated incomplete graphs to derive exact values for the incre- mental drop in energy on pattern sizes 2,
