Effects of post-harvest treatments on the carbohydrate composition of yacon roots in the Peruvian Andes
(2004)
Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius [Poepp. & Endl.] H. Robinson) is an under-exploited native root crop of the Andes, which stores oligofructans (fructo-oligosaccharides, FOS) as its main component of dry matter (DM). FOS are of increasing economic interest because of their low caloric value in human diets and bifidogenic benefits on colon health. Two on-farm experiments were conducted to: (i) determine the effect of shaded, short-term storage at 1990 and 2930 m a.s.l. in the Andean highlands; and (ii) address the effects ...

Use of digital camera to assess nitrogen status of winter wheat in the Northern China Plain
(2004)
The most widely used methods to assess the nitrogen (N) status of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are the determination of plant total N by combustion, the testing of nitrate in the leaf tissue and the use of SPAD readings. However, due to their labor requirements or high costs these methods can hardly be applied to the huge wheat growing areas of the Northern China Plain. This study therefore examined an alternative method to measure the N status of wheat by using a digital camera to record the visible green ...

Evaluation of Auditory Displays Supporting Aircraft Approach and Landing
(Elsevier (IFAC Proceedings Volume, ISSN 1474-6670), 2004)
Abstract: The paper describes an auditory interface using directional sound as a possible support for pilots during approach in an instrument landing scenario. Several ways of producing directional sounds are illustrated. One using speaker pairs and controlling power distribution between speakers is evaluated experimentally. Results show, that power alone is insufficient for positioning single isolated sound events, although discrimination in the horizontal plane performs better than in the vertical. Additional sound ...

Low-altitude aerial photography for optimum N fertilization of winter wheat on the North China Plain
(2004)
Previous research has shown that site-specific nitrogen (N) fertilizer recommendations based on an assessment of a soil’s N supply (mineral N testing) and the crop’s N status (sap nitrate analysis) can help to decrease excessive N inputs for winter wheat on the North China Plain. However, the costs to derive such recommendations based on multiple sampling of a single field hamper the use of this approach at the on-farm level. In this study low-altitude aerial true-color photographs were used to examine the relationship ...

Visuelle Transaktionen: Kontrolle der Nebenläufigkeit bei synchroner Gruppenarbeit
(2004)
Vortragsfolien eines im Mai 1999 auf einem Datenbankseminar (intern) gehaltenen Vortrags.
Zusammenfassung:
Der Vortrag fasst anschaulich einige der Themen zusammen, an denen das FG Datenbanken/Interaktive Systeme um das Jahr 2000 (und einige Jahre davor und danach) gearbeitet hat: Navigieren und Editieren von NF2-Tabellen mit dem DB-Editor ESCHER, das Fingerkonzept, Focus/Nimbus-Fragen, erweiterte Transaktionskonzepte für datenbankgestützte synchrone Gruppenarbeit. Die im Ausblick aufgestellte These, wonach visuelle ...
