Financing Organic Plant Breeding - New Economic Models for Seed as a Commons
(2022-08-12)
Organic seed is vital for organic agriculture. However, organic plant breeding is not keeping pace with the increasing organic production, mainly because of a lack of sufficient financial resources. Therefore, the questions arose: what are the obstacles, and how can they be removed? An analysis of the situation in Europe revealed that royalties from intellectual property rights (IPRs) such as plant variety protection are inappropriate for organic seed. New additional financing strategies were developed based on the ...

Asymmetrically Substituted Phospholes as Ligands for Coinage Metal Complexes
(2022-05-24)
A series of coinage metal complexes asymmetrically substituted 2,5-diaryl phosphole ligands is reported. Structure, identity, and purity of all obtained complexes were corroborated with state-of-the-art techniques (multinuclear NMR, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction) in solution and solid state. All complexes obtained feature luminescence in solution as well as in the solid state. Additionally, DOSY-MW NMR estimation experiments were performed to achieve information about the aggregation behavior ...

Knowledge cores in large formal contexts
(2022-04-20)
Knowledge computation tasks, such as computing a base of valid implications, are often infeasible for large data sets. This is in particular true when deriving canonical bases in formal concept analysis (FCA). Therefore, it is necessary to find techniques that on the one hand reduce the data set size, but on the other hand preserve enough structure to extract useful knowledge. Many successful methods are based on random processes to reduce the size of the investigated data set. This, however, makes them hardly ...

Synthesis of Geminal Bis- and Tetrakisphosphonate Ester Derivatives and Their Coordination Behavior Towards Ca(II) Ions
(2022-04-05)
Geminal Bisphosphonate (BP) Esters in Ca(II) Ion Coordination. A series of geminal BPs was prepared starting from their corresponding ethyl- or isopropyl (arylmethylene)phosphonate ester precursors. Complexation with CaCl₂ yields the derived coordination compounds [Ca(H₂O)₂(L1–L3)₂]Cl₂ or [Ca(L8)Cl₂]ₙ. Their structures in the solid- (SCXRD) as well as solution-state (¹H DOSY NMR) are evaluated and comprehensively compared to literature data.
The preparation and thorough characterization of a variety of (arylmethy ...

Weinen im Coaching – oder: Gehört der Taschentuchspender in jede Coachingpraxis?
(2022-03-30)
Das Weinen als fundamentaler menschlicher Emotionsausdruck wirft innerhalb verschiedener Fachdisziplinen seit jeher Fragen auf. In den letzten Jahren lässt sich auch innerhalb der klinischen Forschung eine zunehmende Beschäftigung mit diesem Thema beobachten. U. a. konnte im Rahmen einer Untersuchung an der Universität Kassel eine Systematisierung über verschiedene Formen des Weinens in der Psychotherapie und unterschiedliche therapeutische Verhaltensweisen im Umgang damit entwickelt werden. Im vorliegenden Artikel ...

Application of mixed-effects modelling and rule-based models to explain copper variation in soil profiles of southern Germany
(2022-05-25)
Copper (Cu) is an essential element for plants and microorganisms and at larger concentrations a toxic pollutant. A number of factors controlling Cu dynamics have been reported, but information on quantitative relationships is scarce. We aimed to (i) quantitatively describe and predict soil Cu concentrations (CuAR) in aqua regia considering site-specific effects and effects of pH, soil organic carbon (SOC) and cation exchange capacity (CEC), and (ii) study the suitability of mixed-effects modelling and rule-based ...

Ausbrüche von Histomonose bei langsamer wachsenden Putenlinien
(2021-09-02)
Histomonosis or Blackhead Disease is a poultry disease caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Histomonas meleagridis. Outbreaks are most frequent in turkey flocks, with often high mortality rates of up to 100%. During a study with three slower growing turkey strains on an organic farm in the years 2015 to 2018, in all three fattening batches outbreaks of histomonosis occured. The disease was diagnosed histologically by PAS-staining, in some cases PCR detection was performed. Heterakis gallinarum could not ...

Impact of Cropping Pattern and Climatic Parameters in Lower Chenab Canal System - Case Study from Punjab Pakistan
(2022-05-17)
In Pakistan, groundwater resources are depleting at an alarming rate due to intensive pumping, shifting of cropping patterns, and climate change vulnerability. The present study is aimed at investigating groundwater stress in the command area of Lower Chenab Canal (LCC) and associated branch canals. Groundwater stress is determined by considering the cropping patterns, surface water availability, groundwater levels, climatic variation, and crop water requirement (CWR) in the LCC command area. The climatic data is ...

Liquid Silicone Rubber Foamed with Thermoplastic Expandable Microspheres
(2022-05-25)
To reduce the material costs as well as the density of Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR), LSR foams can be produced in an injection molding process. Expandable thermoplastic microspheres can be used as blowing agents. This publication deals with the analysis of the cell structure of these LSR foams. For this purpose, cylindrical disks are injection molded and examined for their cell structure as a function of different proportions of microspheres using a scanning electron spectroscope. In addition, the density of the ...

Feed digestibility, digesta passage and faecal microbial biomass in desert-adapted goats exposed to mild water restriction
(2021-07-18)
In arid and semi-arid environments, extensively managed ruminants regularly experience drinking water shortage, especially in the dry season. The present study therefore investigated the effects of mild drinking water restriction on feed intake, feed digestibility, solid digesta passage and composition of faeces including faecal microbial biomass. A feeding trial was conducted in Oman, during the dry summer months.
Nine adult male Batinah goats were subjected to three watering regimes in a 3 × 3 Latin Square design. ...
