Prediction of total carotenoids, color, and moisture content of carrot slices during hot air drying using non-invasive hyperspectral imaging technique
(2022-02-04)
The objective of this paper was to evaluate the performance of Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) model and to assess the statistical agreement between two different measurement techniques, that is, Vis–NIR hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and standard laboratory methods for quality evaluation of dried carrots throughout the hot-air drying process. Carrots at commercial maturity of 3.5 months after planting were harvested in two seasons (2017 and 2018) and dried in a convective hot air dryer at 50°C, 60°C, and 70°C. ...

Spatial patterns of urbanising landscapes in the North Indian Punjab show features predicted by fractal theory
(2022-02-02)
Understanding and governing human settlement patterns is a major challenge of the urban age. While rural settlements emerge as parts of agricultural landscapes, cities typically evolve in economically strategic locations, and over time form hierarchical systems of cities. Purposeful planning and the collective, self-organized behavior of the inhabitants interact in the development of regional settlement patterns. Since self-organizing systems often produce fractal patterns in nature, this study combines approaches ...

Biodynamic compost effects on soil parameters in a 27-year long-term field experiment
(2022-10-27)
Background
Soil samples were taken after 27 years from a long-term field experiment to study the effects of composted pure cattle farmyard manure (FYM) and two FYM treatments with biodynamic preparations on soil chemical and microbiological properties.
Methods
Soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen, basal respiration, fungal ergosterol, microbial biomass C (MBC) and nitrogen (MBN) were analyzed in a 6-field crop rotation system, conducted as a randomized block design with six replicates. The multi-substrate-induced ...

Mean girls, queen bees and iron maidens? Female leadership and accusations of workplace bullying
(2022-10-11)
We examined whether female leaders would be evaluated less favorably compared to male leaders regarding workplace bullying. Previous research has demonstrated that women violating prescriptive gender norms of communality experience backlash, and that female leaders are stereotyped of having a communality deficit. Building on that, we hypothesized (1) more moral outrage against and (2) more intentions to punish a female leader compared to a male leader. We further hypothesized (3) the accusations of ...

The combined application of nitrogen and biochar reduced microbial carbon limitation in irrigated soils of West African urban horticulture
(2022-07-16)
Background:
Intensive wastewater irrigated urban horticulture in sub-Saharan West Africa receives high nutrient inputs, which lead to large gaseous and leaching losses. The addition of biochar to the usually sandy soils may reduce these losses and improve the habitat conditions for soil microorganisms. Two similar experiments focused on crop yields and nutrient balances have been carried out over a 2-year period in semi-arid Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and in sub-humid Tamale, Ghana, representing to some extent ...

Lanthanide Complexes (Ln=La, Nd, Dy) of Octaethyl propane-1,1,3,3-tetrayltetrakis(phosphonate): Multidentate Binding Competing with Monodentate DMSO Complexes
(2022-12-09)
The preparation of lanthanide nitrate complexes [Ln(NO₃)₃{L}]ₙ (Ln³+=La, Nd, Dy) supported by the octaethyl propane-1,1,3,3-tetrayltetrakis(phosphonate) (L) chelate ligand platform is presented. Re-crystallization of these compounds from DMSO/THF led to a complete replacement of the multidentate phosphonate ester ligand and the formation of exclusively DMSO-supported lanthanide nitrate species [Ln(NO₃)₃(DMSO)₄]. The relative basicity of a model phosphonate ester vs. DMSO is explored with theoretical means, pointing ...

Family as a redistributive principle of welfare states: An international comparison
(2022-08-03)
Redistribution is one of the main characteristics of the welfare state, and welfare state research has dealt intensely with various facets of it. The main focus in analysing redistribution is on the redistributive logics of welfare states in terms of work-related rights. Family as a major principle of welfare state redistribution, though, has hardly been included in these welfare state analyses. It has mainly been addressed by analysing outcome data or by analysing care as the most relevant characteristic of the ...

Far-Right Local Governments and Civil Society: Findings from France and Italy
(2022-03-02)
The rise of far-right parties across Europe and their entrance into government at the local, if not regional or national, levels pose challenges for established civil society actors. This article draws on early findings from an ongoing research project in order to present two case studies of far-right local governments in small industrial towns in France and Italy: Hayange and Sant’Agata Bolognese. Keying in on these local administrations’ approaches to civil society and drawing on semi-structured interviews with ...

Growth of C-S-H phases on different metallic surfaces
(2022-02-21)
The influence of reinforcement, especially fibre reinforcement in ultra-high performance concrete is strongly dependent on the bonding (adhesive, shear and friction bond) between metallic surface and cementitious matrix. As usually straight fibres are used for fibre reinforcement and, thus, no significant mechanical bonding is existent, the adhesive bond is particularly important. Previous studies stated that the adhesive bonding behaviour between metallic materials and cementitious matrix strongly depends on the ...

Konfliktmanagement von interpersonellen und Intragruppenkonflikten in virtuellen Sitzungsformaten – Eine explorative Studie
(2022-12-05)
Die Bildung virtueller Teams nimmt durch die Digitalisierung, Internationalisierung sowie die pandemische Lage stetig zu. Dies bringt viele Vorteile, aber auch ein gesteigertes Konfliktpotenzial mit sich. Folglich gewinnen Konfliktmanagementstrategien für virtuelle Sitzungsformate zunehmend an Relevanz. Im Folgenden wird ein praxisrelevanter Handlungsleitfaden für virtuelles Konfliktmanagement dargelegt. Dabei wird deutlich, dass es von besonderer Bedeutung ist, eine realitätsnahe Begegnungssituation durch Videokonferenzen, ...
