Simulation von Trocknungsprozessen empfindlicher biologischer Güter unter Berücksichtigung instationärer Randbedingungen
(2015-05-12)
Bei der Auslegung von Trocknungsprozessen empfindlicher biologischer Güter spielt die Produktqualität eine zunehmend wichtige Rolle. Obwohl der Einfluss der Trocknungsparameter auf die Trocknungskinetik von Äpfeln bereits Gegenstand vieler Studien war, sind die Auswirkungen auf die Produktqualität bisher kaum bekannt. Die Untersuchung dieses Sachverhalts und die Entwicklung geeigneter Prozessstrategien zur Verbesserung der Qualität des resultierenden Produkts, waren das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit. In einem ersten ...

Effects of activated charcoal and quebracho tannins on the turnover of goat manure in irrigated organic agriculture of the subtropics
(2015-04-15)
Agriculture in semi-arid and arid regions is constantly gaining importance for the security of the nutrition of humankind because of the rapid population growth. At the same time, especially these regions are more and more endangered by soil degradation, limited resources and extreme climatic conditions. One way to retain soil fertility under these conditions in the long run is to increase the soil organic matter. Thus, a two-year field experiment was conducted to test the efficiency of activated charcoal and quebracho ...

Nitrogen and carbon dynamics in grassland soils and plants after application of digestate
(2015-05-20)
A better understanding of effects after digestate application on plant community, soil microbial community as well as nutrient and carbon dynamics is crucial for a sustainable grassland management and the prevention of species and functional diversity loss. The specific research objectives of the thesis were:
(i) to investigate effects after digestate application on grass species and soil microbial community, especially focussing on nitrogen dynamic in the plant-soil system and to examine the suitability of the ...

Human and Raptor Interactions in the Context of a Nomadic Society
(kassel university press, 2015)
This research project focuses on contemporary eagle-taming falconry practice of the Altaic Kazakhs animal herding society in Bayan Ulgii Province in Western Mongolia. It aims to contributing both theoretical and empirical criteria for cultural preservation of Asian falconry. This cultural as well as environmental discourse is illustrated with concentrated field research framed by ecological anthropology and ethno-ornithology from the viewpoint of “Human-Animal Interaction (HAI)” and “Human-Animal Behavior (HAB)”.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG
Von der „Chaosgruppe“ zur lernenden Organisation.
Fallstudien zur Induzierung und Verbreitung von Innovation in ländlichen Kleinorganisationen im Buruli (Zentral-Uganda).
Die oft fehlende Nachhaltigkeit landwirtschaftlicher Projekte in Afrika allgemein und in Buruli (Zentral-Uganda) insbesondere gab den Anstoß zu der Forschung, die der vorliegenden Dissertation zugrunde liegt. Ein häufiger Grund für das Scheitern von Projekten ist, dass die lokale Bevölkerung die landwirtschaftliche Innovation ...

Analyse von unerwünschten Arzneimittelwirkungen antibiotikahaltiger Euterinjektoren von Mastitiden bei Kühen der Rasse Holstein- Friesian unter Berücksichtigung von Leistungsniveau, Genetik und Produktionsbedingungen
(2015-08-04)
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit bestand darin, detailliert Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem binären Gesundheitsmerkmal klinischer Mastitis auf der einen und Produktionsmerkmalen (z. B. Milch-kg) und funktionalen Merkmalen (z.B. somatischer Zellgehalt) auf der anderen Seite unter simultaner Berücksichtigung von Umwelt und genetisch bedingten Einflussgrößen auf phänotypischer und genetischer Ebene abzubilden. Die Studie fokussierte auf innovative Aspekte der genetisch-statistischen Modellierung bzgl. der Anwendung von ...

Diversity, local uses and availability of medicinal plants and wild yams in the Mahafaly region of south-western Madagascar
(2015-08-31)
Short summary:
This study was undertaken to assess the diversity of plant resources utilized by the local population in south-western Madagascar, the social, ecological and biophysical conditions that drive their uses and availability, and possible alternative strategies for their sustainable use in the region. The study region, ‘Mahafaly region’, located in south-western Madagascar, is one of the country’s most economically, educationally and climatically disadvantaged regions. With an arid steppe climate, the ...

Pathogens occuring in the winter pea-maize-winter wheat rotation, their host specificity and the potential of compost in suppressing foot and root disease of peas
(2015-09-17)
The overall aim of the work presented was to evaluate soil health management with a specific focus on soil borne diseases of peas. For that purpose field experiments were carried out from 2009 until 2013 to assess crop performance and pathogen occurrence in the rotation winter pea-maize-winter wheat and if the application of composts can improve system performance. The winter peas were left untreated or inoculated with Phoma medicaginis, in the presence or absence of yard waste compost at rate of 5 t dry matter ha-1. ...
