Digital transformation: What we have learned (thus far) and what is next
(2021-01-06)
There is certainly a lot of discussion about digital technologies, their transformative nature, and their potentially disruptive impact on business and society. The number of publications on digital technologies and their impact on business and management have risen dramatically. This paper's main objective is to draw attention to practical and research-related views on what we know and what we still need to learn about business and management in the digital era. We do so by combining the insights obtained from ...

Translatory and rotatory motion of exchange-bias capped Janus particles controlled by dynamic magnetic field landscapes
(2021-11-08)
Magnetic Janus particles (MJPs), fabricated by covering a non-magnetic spherical particle with a hemispherical magnetic in-plane exchange-bias layer system cap, display an onion magnetization state for comparably large diameters of a few microns. In this work, the motion characteristics of these MJPs will be investigated when they are steered by a magnetic field landscape over prototypical parallel-stripe domains, dynamically varied by superposed external magnetic field pulse sequences, in an aqueous medium. We ...

Extended life cycle assessment reveals the spatially-explicit water scarcity footprint of a lithium-ion battery storage
(2021-01-12)
The life cycle water scarcity footprint is a tool to evaluate anthropogenic contributions to regional water scarcity along global supply chains. Here, we complement it by a classification of the risk from human water use, a comprehensive conceptualisation of water use and a spatially-explicit impact assessment to a midpoint approach that assesses the risk of on-site and remote freshwater scarcity. For a 2 MWh Lithium-ion battery storage, the quantitative Water Scarcity Footprint, comprising physically used water, ...

N-tert-Alkyl-Substituted N-Heterocyclic Carbenes with a 1,1’-Ferrocenediyl Backbone
(2021-12-14)
1,1’-Diaminoferrocene (1) was converted to α-aminonitriles fc[NHC(CN)MeR’]₂ (fc=1,1’-ferrocenediyl; 2 a: R’=Me, 2 b: R’=Ph, 2 c: R’=tBu) by reaction with ketones MeC(O)R’ in the presence of NaCN/HOAc or to the diimine fc(N=CPh₂)₂ (3) by condensation with Ph₂CO. Treatment of 2 a–c or 3 with MeLi furnished fc(NHR)₂ (4 a: R=tBu, 4 b: R=CMe₂Ph, 4 c: R=CMe₂tBu, 4 d: R=CMePh₂) after aqueous work-up. The formylative cyclisation of 4 a–d to fc[(NR)₂CH][BF₄] (5H[BF₄]) was possible only for R=CMe₃ (a) and CMe₂Ph (b). The ...

Modelling stress‐state dependent nonlocal damage and failure of ductile metals
(2021-01-25)
Damage and failure of ductile metals is highly influenced by the stress state. In fact, void growth takes place under hydrostatic tensile loading and void coalescence leads eventually to ductile failure. A completely different damage mechanism occurs for shear dominated loading that results in void elongation within a narrow shear band. In order to account for both failure mechanisms, a stress state dependent damage model is proposed. The model is based on a continuum damage mechanics approach, whereby nonlinear ...

Flow and fiber orientation of fresh fiber reinforced concrete
(2021-12-14)
The orientation of the fibers in UHPC is decisive for the tensile strength and failure of the components. The mold filling strategy during casting of structural components dictates the flow routing and thus the fiber orientation. In addition, the orientation of the fibers also affects the flow behavior of the suspension. In measurements of rheological properties in concrete rheometers, strongly scattering measurements often occur. In this paper, a novel fiber orientation model for viscoplastic fluids is investigated ...

Exploring external factors affecting the intention-behavior gap when trying to adopt a sustainable diet: a think aloud study
(2021-02-19)
Not least from an ecological and health perspective, it can be posited that a broader part of consumers should practice sustainable diets. People who are already willing to do so are often confronted with the intention-behavior gap, caused by a range of internal and external factors. To eliminate these barriers requires a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of these factors and their interplay. Therefore, a think aloud study with 20 adult German participants was conducted to explore the four chosen external ...

Automatic Assessment of Keel Bone Damage in Laying Hens at the Slaughter Line
(2021-01-12)
Simple Summary
Keel bone damage (KBD) is very prevalent in commercial laying hen flocks with a wide range of affected hens/flock. It can cause pain, and affected hens have been found to be less mobile. The assessment of this animal welfare indicator provides important feedback for the farmer about flock health and consequently on the need for interventions. However, the assessment of keel bone damage is time-consuming, and prior training is needed in order to gain reliable results. Optical detection methods can be ...

Suitability of Slower Growing Commercial Turkey Strains for Organic Husbandry in Terms of Animal Welfare and Performance
(2021-01-06)
Intensive turkey production with fast growing strains is often critically discussed regarding animal welfare problems. Studies evaluating the welfare status of both organic and less intensive selected turkey strains are limited, except in the slightly slower growing Kelly Broad Breast Bronze (Kelly). The aim of this study was to assess the welfare of turkeys from two strains with further decreased growth rate, Hockenhull Large Bronze (HoBr) and Hockenhull Black (HoBl), in comparison to Kelly under commercial organic ...

A Novel Real Time PCR Method for the Detection and Quantification of Didymella pinodella in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Plant Hosts
(2021-12-31)
Didymella pinodella is the major pathogen of the pea root rot complex in Europe. This wide host range pathogen often asymptomatically colonizes its hosts, making the control strategies challenging. We developed a real-time PCR assay for the detection and quantification of D. pinodella based on the TEF-1 alpha gene sequence alignments. The assay was tested for specificity on a 54-isolate panel representing 35 fungal species and further validated in symptomatic and asymptomatic pea and wheat roots from greenhouse tests. ...
