Semi-invariants of Quivers and Saturation of Littlewood-Richardson Coefficients
Using Schofield semi-invariants, and showing a correspondence between weight spaces of semi-invariant rings for a special class of quivers, and the Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, we show that the space of Littlewood-Richardson numbers is saturated, i.e. if $c_{N \lambda, N \mu}^{N \nu} \neq 0$ …

The crosstalk between the ERK and the cAMP signalling pathways in PC12 Cells
The extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK) signalling pathway is involved in the control of different biological processes such as survival, proliferation and differentiation. In PC12 cells, the ERK signalling pathway integrates different external stimuli: epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates the …

Neuroprotektion retinaler Ganglienzellen : Gabapentin-Laktam und die Neuropeptide NAP und Activity-dependent neurotrophic factor-9 in Kulturen isolierter Ganglienzellen und Netzhautexplantate der Ratte
GBP-L, das sich von Gabapentin ableitet, besitzt neuroprotektive Eigenschaften in vivo, vermutlich über das Öffnen mitochondrialer KATP-Kanäle. In der vorliegenden Arbeit untersuchte ich diese Hypothese an Kulturen isolierter retinaler Ganglienzellen (RGZ). <br>RGZ neugeborener Ratten (P0 - P2) …

An onset is an onset: evidence from abstraction of newly-learned phonotactic constraints
Phonotactic constraints involve language-specific patterns for sequences of speech sounds. Traditionally, phonotactic constraints are characterized by listing which sounds or sound sequences can occur at certain syllable positions (e.g. /h/ must begin syllables in English). However, most studies of …

Untersuchungen zum Verhalten von hochgequollenen lyotropen Phasen mit Calcium-, Magnesium- und Natriumdodecylsulfat
Calciumdodecylsulfat (CDS) besitzt einen Krafftpunkt von 50°C und ist deshalb bei Raumtemperatur in Wasser als Tensid völlig inaktiv. Mit Cotensiden wie Hexanol oder Oktanol wird aber die kritische Mizellbildungskonzentration unter die Löslichkeit von CDS gedrückt, so dass quellende lyotrope …

A Case Study of Complex Metallic Alloy Phases: Structure and Disorder Phenomena of Mg-Pd Compounds
The phase diagram of the Mg-Pd system was redetermined in the range from 50 at. % Mg to 100 at. % Mg. It contains several intermediate phases with some of them being complex metallic alloy phases (CMAs), i.e., characterized by (i) giant unit cells with more than hundred atoms, (ii) inherent …
