Structural and functional studies of C-nucleoside formation enzymes by Li, W

“…The substitution of C-C glycosidic bonds holds the promise of preserving the drug properties of the parent compound while rendering the compound essentially undegradable.</p> <br> <p>The thesis overviews the history of natural product discovery, tracing its evolution from ancient folk traditions to the contemporary application of advanced genetics and chemical modifications for biosynthesis. …”

Early detection of reduced artemisinin susceptibility in plasmodium falciparum using novel phenotypic indicators by Xiong, Aoli

“…An index ΔΔA-ratio was defined and shown to be capable of distinguishing well characterized resistant and sensitive lab strains and one clinical isolate. However, it rendered suboptimal detection accuracy when applied to a wider range of clinical isolates. …”

Analysis of lava flow impacts for use in risk assessments by Meredith, Elinor Siwan

“…Some volcanic hazards leave little deposit but can kill everyone in their path, while others move slowly enough to avoid causing fatalities but leave thick solidified deposits that can render land unusable for decades. This thesis is concerned with improving our knowledge of damage to the built environment associated with the latter, lava flows. …”

Experimental & simulation study of 16kWp photovoltaic (PV) system performance & the investigation of PV heat island effect by Devihosur, Shiddalingeshwar Channabasappa

“…The inclusion of power optimizers at the SIT@Dover PV system had insignificant annual energy yield, PR, and efficiency gains of 1.48%, 1.10% and 0.22% respectively, rendering the power optimizers ineffective in providing significant benefits in performance gain of the PV system. …”

Tropical peat subsidence, nutrient losses and oil palm seedling growth due to different water table depths by Abubakar, Safiyanu Hashim

“…The presence of high amount of water may had a major role in leaching losses which made the peat soil always moist and rendered the nutrients more soluble such that their loss from the soil were rapid. …”

Transport phenomena of immiscible fluids in microchannels by Yin, Shuai

“…The biggest advantage of the proposed approach is that it removes the necessity of surface treatment for O/W droplet formation in PMDS microchannels, breaking the limits brought by the surface wettability for the first time and rendering itself to be a universal method for O/W droplet active generation with outstanding controllability. …”

Developing a portable, high-speed, low-cost desktop photoacoustic tomography imaging system by Kalva, Sandeep Kumar

“…Thus, there is a need for a low- cost, portable and high-speed PAT imaging system that can render better quality images. To minimize the size of the overall PAT system, initially we have reduced the space occupied by the SUT in the PAT scanner. …”

Security for automotive electrical/electronic (E/E) architectures by Mundhenk, Philipp

“…This limits the entropy available for security, allowing brute-force attacks on cryptographic keys, effectively rendering employed security mechanisms useless. The policy-based scheduling for FlexRay presented in this thesis enables a higher flexibility for messages on the bus by abstracting the bond between timetriggered slots and messages. …”
