With the Ecosystem Service (ES) concept's popularisation, the need for robust and practical methodologies for ES assessments has increased. The ES matrix approach, linking ecosystem types or other geospatial units with ES ...

We consider a large class of Ramsey interferometry protocols which are enhanced by squeezing and un-squeezing operations before and after a phase signal is imprinted on the collective spin of N particles. We report an ...
The growth of microorganisms on surfaces and interfaces as a biofilm is very common and plays important role in various areas such as material science, biomedicine, or waste treatment among others. Due to their inhomogeneous ...

New resonant emission of dispersive waves by oscillating solitary structures in optical fiber cavities is considered analytically and numerically. The pulse propagation is described in the framework of the Lugiato-Lefever ...

A structural model of the enoyl reductase (ER) catalytic domain of the fungal highly-reducing polyketide synthase squalestatin tetraketide synthase (SQTKS) was developed. Simulated docking of substrates and inhibitors ...
Processing technology to improve the manufacturing of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) is a growing field of research. In this paper, an adaptable and scalable process comprising spray-coating and laser structuring for ...
The development of radiation fog is influenced by multiple physical processes such as radiative cooling and heating, turbulent mixing, and microphysics, which interact on different spatial and temporal scales with one ...
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), an important vegetable crop, is sensitive to NaCl. Its salinity tolerance can be improved by grafting onto pumpkin rootstocks, which restricts the uptake of Na+, but not of Cl−. Although Na+ ...
We present a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor that is based on a planar-optical multi-mode (MM) polymer waveguide structure applied for the detection of biomolecules in the lower nano-molar (nM) range. The basic ...
Reducing friction is an important aspect to increase the efficiency of internal combustion engines (ICE). The majority of frictional losses in engines are related to both the piston skirt and piston ring–cylinder liner ...
High pressure injection systems have essential roles in realizing highly controllable fuel injections in internal combustion engines. The primary atomization processes in the near field of the spray, and even inside the ...

Russeting is an important surface disorder of many fruitcrop species. The mango cultivar ‘Apple’ is especially susceptible to russeting. Russeting compromises both fruit appearance and postharvest performance. The objective ...
New sensor and sensor manufacturing technologies are identified as a key factor for a successful digitalisation and are therefore economically important for manufacturers and industry. To address various requirements, a ...
Mit der Kritik der Urteilskraft (KdU) ist weiteres oberes Erkenntnisvermögen Gegenstand der Untersuchung bei Kant. Im zweiten Teil der KdU – der teleologischen Urteilskraft – gelangt Kant zu Bestimmungen der Natur, die bis ...

Nowadays optical systems are predominantly developed using conventional ray tracing methods such as sequential and non-sequential ray tracing. Sequential ray tracing is used in particular to design and optimize imaging ...
The present article investigates gender discrimination in recruitment for two male-dominated occupations (mechanics and IT professionals). We empirically test two different explanatory approaches to gender discrimination ...

Trotz vielfältiger vergangener Bildungsmaßnahmen zur Verbesserung des Bildungszugangs bestehen beim Über-gang in ein Studium noch immer soziale Herkunftsunterschiede. Diese herkunftsspezifischen Unterschiede wer-den nach ...
In contrast to mineral topsoils, in subsoils the origin and processes leading to the formation and stabilization of organic matter (OM) are still not well known. This study addresses the fate of litter-derived carbon (C) ...
