Acknowledgements

I would like to thank Prof. Dr. Thomas Münte, for giving me the change to
write my dissertation and for all the support and guidance along the way.
The same holds for Dr. Bernadette Jansma. Thanks for all the guidance, and
the time you made for me every time I fell on your doorstep.
I want to thank the whole department for the nice working atmosphere I
experienced during these years. Especially Ivonne Gerth, Ulrike Krämer,
Marcus Heldmann, Daniel Wiswede, Gregor Szycik, Jascha Rüsseler and
Jürn Möller for fruitful discussions, but also for the more social aspects like
coffee breaks and external labmeetings. Special thanks go to Anke Hammer,
for proof-reading, and Anna Mestres-Misses for being an extremely pleasant
roommate.
Last, I want to thank my parents and my sisters. Pursuing my goals did not
always go smoothly but your never-ending support made things so much
easier for me.
