Effect of Surfactants on the Flow Patterns of Horizontal Tube Bundles with a Falling Film
(2020-03-24)
The influence of two alcoholic surfactants on the flow patterns of falling film tube bundles is investigated. The flow patterns are measured in a single‐stage absorption chiller in the absence of surfactants. The surface tension of H2O/aqueous LiBr solution with different concentrations of 1‐octanol and 2‐ethylhexanol is measured at low pressure in a saturated atmosphere. Small quantities of surfactants in the aqueous solution do not have an influence on the flow patterns of the condenser and evaporator, while a shift ...

Exploration of production conditions: a step towards the development of a community-based breeding program for Butana cattle
(2020-11-17)
In Sudan, many Butana cattle farmers practice indiscriminate crossbreeding to improve the milk yield performance of cows, as organized breeding programs are lacking. Objectives of this study were to identify the current production conditions of Butana cattle and to determine farmers’ production objectives and trait preferences using a field survey. The overall aim was to explore the possibility of establishing a community-based breeding program for the genetic improvement of the breed. A semi-structured questionnaire ...

Fusion of Ultrasonic and Spectral Sensor Data for Improving the Estimation of Biomass in Grasslands with Heterogeneous Sward Structure
(2017-01-21)
An accurate estimation of biomass is needed to understand the spatio-temporal changes of forage resources in pasture ecosystems and to support grazing management decisions. A timely evaluation of biomass is challenging, as it requires efficient means such as technical sensing methods to assess numerous data and create continuous maps. In order to calibrate ultrasonic and spectral sensors, a field experiment with heterogeneous pastures continuously stocked by cows at three grazing intensities was conducted. Sensor ...

Social Loafing in the Refugee Crisis: Information about Existing Initiatives Decreases Willingness to Help
(2017-05-11)
In light of the European refugee situation, we investigate how information about others’ support influences individuals’ willingness to help. When individuals see information about other people supporting refugees, they may either be influenced by a descriptive norm, and act accordingly. Alternatively, they may perceive that others are already doing the job, and thus engage in social loafing. In an experiment (N = 132), we tested these competing predictions. Specifically, participants were exposed to a map of Germany ...

Spiritual values shape taxonomic diversity, vegetation composition, and conservation status in woodlands of the Northern Zagros, Iran
(2021)
Sacred groves are under-researched in Muslim countries so that their overall contribution to biodiversity conservation remains unknown. We studied 22 sacred groves and 45 surrounding woodlands in Northern Zagros, Iran, to compare taxonomic diversity, vegetation composition, and the conservation status of plant species. Sacred groves had higher taxonomic diversity and a more valuable species pool by sheltering numerous endangered plant species. Multivariate analysis indicated a substantial difference in the vegetation ...

Sozialpolitik als Problemarbeit an Menschen und an Institutionen
(2020-10-28)
In der Soziologie sozialer Probleme ist Sozialpolitik seit jeher ein wichtiger Aspekt, wird aber nur selten explizit in den Mittelpunkt gestellt. Der Beitrag verdeutlicht die Relevanz von Sozialpolitik sowie ihrer organisationalen und professionellen Bezugspunkte (Wohlfahrtspflege, soziale Dienstleistungsberufe) im Kontext der Soziologie sozialer Probleme und nimmt eine Einordnung im Rahmen unterschiedlicher institutioneller Logiken vor. Mit Blick auf das Wechselspiel von Definitions- und Bearbeitungsprozessen ‚von ...

Additive surface texturing of cutting tools using pulsed laser implantation with hard ceramic particles
(2020-09-15)
In recent years surface texturing of the cutting tools has proved to improve tribological characteristics at tool/chip and tool/workpiece interface and help to reduce cutting and feed forces as well as tool wear. Most, if not all, of the studies have focused on subtractively made textures whereby the material is removed from the surface. This study investigates the performance of additively made surface structures whereby hard ceramic particles are dispersed in the form of dome shaped textures on the surface of the ...

A New Identity for Generalized Hypergeometric Functions and Applications
(2019-01-18)
We establish a new identity for generalized hypergeometric functions and apply it for first- and second-kind Gauss summation formulas to obtain some new summation formulas. The presented identity indeed extends some results of the recent published paper (Some summation theorems for generalized hypergeometric functions, Axioms, 7 (2018), Article 38).

Dissimilar Friction Stir Butt Welding of Aluminium and Copper with Cross-Section Adjustment for Current-Carrying components
(2018-08-24)
Manufacturing dissimilar joints of aluminum and copper is a challenging task. However, friction stir welding (FSW) was found to be a suitable technique to produce aluminum–copper joints. Due to different electrical conductivities between aluminum and copper, an adjustment of the cross-section is required to realize electrical conductors free of resistive losses. Taking this into account, this paper presents initial results on the mechanical and electrical properties of friction stir butt welded aluminum and copper ...
