Context. Streaming instability is a key mechanism in planet formation, clustering pebbles into planetesimals with the help of self-gravity. It is triggered at a particular disk location where the local volume density of solids exceeds that of the gas. After their formation, planetesimals can grow into protoplanets by feeding from other planetesimals in the birth ring as well as by accreting inward

The focus of this edition of ‘Engineering with Membranes' will be on ‘Membranes for a sustainable future'. Thus, the current conference will emphasize how membrane processes can help to achieve the 17 sustainability goals developed by the United Nations. The conference, thus welcomes papers dedicated to the sustainable manufacturing, design and application of membrane and membranes processes. In p

Boiling heat transfer intensification is of big relevance to energy conversion and conservation, materials and resources saving, and electronics cooling. This work aims to enhance saturated pool boiling of well-wetting liquids, i.e., acetone and HFE-7200 on nanoparticles-deposited surfaces by electrophoretic deposition and on microporous foam surfaces by electrochemical deposition. The electrophor

Phosphorous (P) cycling is often closely coupled to iron (Fe), particularly following mineral weathering or in hydromorphic soils where Fe redox reactions can control the equilibrium between P retention and release. While surface adsorption of P on Fe (hydr)oxides is a well-known and widely studied process, less attention has been devoted to the understanding of P (especially organic P) coprecipit

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. With the advent of Imatinib, the treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumor has been revolutionized as both the progression-free and overall survival rates have increased dramatically. Unfortunately, gastrointestinal stromal tumor patients on Imatinib do eventually fail due to resistance. Eve

Controlling the composition of ternary III-V semiconductor nanowires is of high technological importance and the current theoretical understanding is so far limited. We derive a model for the kinetically limited composition of metal-particle-seeded, ternary nanowires. The model is based on the diffusion controlled growth rate of supercritical nuclei. Applying this model to gold-seeded and self-see

As the knowledge base and importance of mitochondrial physiology to human health expands, the necessity for harmonizing the terminology concerning mitochondrial respiratory states and rates has become increasingly apparent. The chemiosmotic theory establishes the mechanism of energy transformation and coupling in oxidative phosphorylation. The unifying concept of the protonmotive force provides th

Two nitrifying MBBR reactors were operated in parallel, one with PAC dosing and one without, to determine the effects of PAC dosing on nitrification and micropollutant adsorption in municipal wastewater. The removal of micropollutants was evaluated for several doses of PAC and batch experiments were performed to measure adsorption kinetics and nitrification rates. The influence of PAC on the nitri

Infection represents an evolutionary arms race between pathogen and host. Thus, scientists find that pathogenic microbes have evolved elegant strategies to manipulate or avoid our immune system, allowing them to persist within the human population. This thesis is largely focused on how bacteria regulate and exploit the type I interferon (IFN) response in infected macrophages – a processes of centr
