The focus of the dissertation "Aspects of cosmic acceleration" is the study of possible mechanisms responsible for the late-time accelerated expansion of the universe.

Clearance is the most important pharmacokinetic parameter for drug dose selection. Pharmacokinetic information is typically first available in the adult population, and in general only limited pharmacokinetic data are available in children when drugs enter into the market. It is therefore of the utmost…
