This dissertation comprises three tax avoidance papers. In addition, these papers empirically examine firms’ resource allocation, tax control frameworks, tax transparency and tax compliance. The first paper investigates ...

Atom interferometers are versatile quantum sensors that enable a wide range of high-precision and high-accuracy measurements ranging from fundamental physics to real-world applications. Large momentum transfer (LMT) ...

This thesis addresses deep learning-based methods for automatic anomaly detection in an industrial context. It involves image- or sensor-based detection of defects in the production process that can affect the quality of ...

Für die Entwicklung akustisch optimierter Turbomaschinen ist ein verbessertes Verständnis über die physikalischen Mechanismen des Schalltransports wichtig. Die tonalen Lärmquellen werden maßgeblich durch die Rotor-Stat ...

Coastal ecosystems are of extreme importance for the environment and human livelihoods based on their ecosystem services: they provide habitat for diverse fauna, supplying food, protection, and nursing grounds for a myriad ...

Precision measurement of freely floating test masses across multiple degrees of freedom is a critical requirement for gravitational space missions or gravitational table-top experiments. Traditional methods like capacitive ...

One of the major goals of fundamental physics is to unify general relativity, which describes macroscopic phenomena driven by the influence of gravity, with quantum mechanics, which focuses on effects at microscopic scales. ...

Carrier lifetime instabilities in crystalline silicon solar cells under illumination affect the long-term stability of photovoltaic modules in view of the steadily increasing conversion efficiency of the solar cells used ...

As a climate-neutral energy source, wind energy plays a key role in the global energy transition to mitigate climate change. Ensuring a reliable and affordable supply of wind energy requires a deep understanding of materials, ...

In der Geschichte der Menschheit kommt dem Kulturraum Wald eine zentrale Rolle als Lebensgrundlage zu. Mit dem Beginn der Sesshaftigkeit änderte sich das Verhältnis von Mensch und Wald radikal, der Mensch begann die Wildnis ...
