The Micro Solar Flare Apparatus (MiSolFA) and High-Energy Solar Observations From Multiple Perspectives
(2020)Space-based observations of high-energy emission from solar flares have contributed greatly to our understanding of the Sun, its atmosphere, and its most dynamic phenomena. This thesis investigates the intricacies of such observations, from maximizing scientific impact in new instrument design, to understanding how even very similar instruments may observe different parts of solar flares, to utilizing multiple perspectives and wavelengths ...Doctoral Thesis -
Wald, Wild & Wanderwege: Eine Fallstudie im Aletschwald
(2020)Forests are multifunctional and provide diverse ecosystem services. For example, it offers protection from natural hazards and is among other things a habitat for plants and animals. The increasing recreational use of forests leads to a steady decline of refuges for wild animals. This influences the spatial use of red deer (Cervus elaphus). So far, there are only few studies that deal with the effects of changing spatial use of ungulates ...Master Thesis -
Data-driven analysis of the "Ranking quality" network formation model
(2020)Recent years have witnessed a dramatic growth in online social media, such as YouTube, Instagram, and Twitch, which are based on User-Generated Content (UGC). A huge amount of UGCs are generated by social influencers every day and spread over the world, having a huge impact on, e.g., social media marketing, and information spreading. Therefore, it becomes important to investigate (i) how such influencers emerge and (ii) what are the ...Master Thesis -

Evaluating foehn development in a changing climate using machine learning and investigating the impact of foehn on forest fire occurrence and severity
(2020)Foehn winds have a substantial impact on forest fires all over the world. However, two questions have remained unanswered to the foehn community over the last years. First, while accurate forecasts are viable at the timescale of numerical weather prediction, the long-term evolution of monthly foehn occurrence is still open to debate. Second, while many studies cited the importance of foehn winds on forest fires in single case studies, a ...Master Thesis -

Towards more efficient biowaste utilization with black soldier fly larvae to produce more sustainable animal feed
(2020)Today's food production has enormous negative impacts on the environment and does not provide nutritious food in sufficient quantities for all people. Protein, largely provided through animal source foods, is a key nutrient associated with these shortcomings. Environmental impacts from animal source foods stem among others from the use of unsustainable feed ingredients (e.g. soybean and fish meal). At the same time, poor people often do ...Doctoral Thesis -
Searching for Light Dark Matter and a new X17 boson with the NA64 experiment at the CERN SPS
(2020)The Standard Model of particle physics has provided incredibly accurate predic-tions confirmed by experimental data. The recent discovery of the Higgs boson atthe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012 was another remarkable landmark of thismodel. However, despite its success, the Standard Model cannot address some openquestions and therefore new physics is required. Among those is the origin of DarkMatter which remains a mystery ...Doctoral Thesis -
