New sublinear methods in the struggle against classical problems
We study the time and query complexity of approximation algorithms that access only a minuscule fraction of the input, focusing on two classical sources of problems: combinatorial graph optimization and manipulation of strings. The tools we develop find applications outside of the area of sublinear …

Stochastic Models in Phylogenetic Comparative Methods: Analytical Properties and Parameter Estimation
Phylogenetic comparative methods are well established tools for using inter-species variation to analyse phenotypic evolution and adaptation. They are generally hampered, however, by predominantly univariate approaches and failure to include uncertainty and measurement error in the phylogeny as …

The role of ceramides in cigarette smoke-induced alveolar cell death
The complex pathogenesis of emphysema involves disappearance of alveolar structures, in part attributed to alveolar cell apoptosis. The mechanism by which cigarette smoke (CS) induces alveolar cell apoptosis is not known. We hypothesized that ceramides are induced by CS via specific enzymatic …

Experimentelle und theoretische Untersuchungen zu Clustermolekülen mit dem NB 2 -, NB 3 -, CB 3 -, und B 4 -Gerüst
The reaction of Tri-tert-butylazadiboriridin with Halogenides of maingroup 3 and 5 elements leads to an opening of the BB-bond. Only in case of Trifluorophosphane a cyclic product was obtained. Nitrils and Isothiocyanats yield cyclic or bicyclic products, the structures of which were derived from …

Novel sulfur containing electrophiles in asymmetric organocatalysis
Three different kinds of sulfur containing electrophiles in organo- and metal catalyzed reactions have been evaluated. We demonstrated the first diastereoselective reaction of beta-keto esters with 1-chloroethylphenyl sulfide catalyzed by cinchona alkaloids. At the same time, we could confirm the …
