  2. Shear force transmission across liposome membranes investigated by 3D flow tracing 

    Sebastian, Bernhard (2018)
    Cells in flowing environments are constantly exposed to mechanical stimuli from which they infer information about their environment and induce targeted responses. Sensing and conversion of mechanical stimuli into biochemical signalling is preceded by the propagation of these stimuli into the cell (mechanotransmission). Giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are cell-sized liposomes which mimic the mechanical properties of the lipid plasma ...

  3. Adversarial perturbations and deformations for convolutional neural networks 

    Gauksson, Tandri (2017)
    We investigate the robustness of convolutional neural networks for image classification in terms of adversarial examples. We compare a widely used network for handwritten digit classification to a more robust classifier based on a feature extractor with predefined wavelet filters. In addition to generating adversarial examples by adding small perturbations to the input images, we introduce the concept of adversarial deformations of images. ...

  4. Mean-Field and Quantum Interactions of Strongly Confined Exciton-Polaritons 

    Fink, Thomas (2018)
    In this dissertation, we report on quantum optics experiments in a cavity quantum electrodynamics setting. In particular, we study the interactions of quantum well exciton-polaritons in hybrid dielectric-semiconductor microcavities. A carbon dioxide laser-based fabrication technique is used to create zerodimensional polariton boxes in a highly flexible fiber cavity setup at cryogenic temperatures. We verify that this approach creates ...

  5. Defining key proteins of the primary carbohydrate metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana 

    Carrera, Dániel Árpád (2017)
    Photosynthetic assimilation of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is the major carbon fixation mechanism. Thereby the captured light energy is used to produce carbohydrates within the Calvin-Benson cycle. A portion of the synthesized carbohydrates is exported out of the chloroplast into the cytosol, where sucrose can be produced. Sucrose is a non-reducing, neutral disaccharide, which can be transported throughout the plant, providing the ...

  16. Asynchronous Distributed Averaging, Cooperative Tilt Estimation, and Modular Robotic Self-Assembly 

    Kriegleder, Maximilian (2017)
    This dissertation provides an advanced platform for research on distributed estimation and control, and investigates three different topics that pertain to these fields of research: (1) a generic asynchronous distributed averaging algorithm, (2) cooperative tilt and altitude estimation from multiple distance sensors, and (3) modular robotic self-assembly through rendezvous with bearing-only information. This work employs the Distributed ...
