Impact of agricultural activities on pesticide residues in soil of edible bamboo shoot plantations
(Kassel University Press, 2018-04-04)
Edible bamboo shoot is one of the most important vegetables in Asian countries. Intensive agricultural management measures can cause many negative influences, such as soil acidification and excessive pesticide residues. In the present study, more than 300 soil samples were collected from edible bamboo shoot plantations in six areas throughout Zhejiang province, China, to investigate the soil pesticide pollution and its change after different agricultural activities. Thirteen organic chemicals were detected; nine less ...

Effects of grassland management intensification on dynamics of soil organic carbon and nitrogen in temperate grassland soils
(2018-05-09)
In Germany, about one third of the agricultural area is managed as permanent grassland. The predominant use of permanent grassland in Germany is mostly the production of fodder for meat or milk production, achieved by grazing or mowing. In addition, an increased demand for biomass to produce renewable energy has influenced grassland management in the last decade. Until 2013, a continuous decrease in grassland due to grassland conversion was recorded (from 2003 to 2013, by a total of about 5 %). The reduction in ...

Methodology development and assessment of lower carbon industrial process heat through solar energy and heat pumps
(2018-05-24)
The reduction of energy consumption in industrial processes, notably within low temperature industries, leads to greater economic gain and lower carbon emissions. Numerous energy audits and case studies within the food and beverage industry suggest that initial efforts to reduce energy consumption should focus on energy efficiency measures such as heat recovery and process optimization due to their lower cost of implementation. Eventually, however, an efficiency limit is reached and the only way to further reduce ...

Unsicherheiten von Ertragsprognosen für Photovoltaik-Kraftwerke unter besonderer Berücksichtigung langfristiger Variationen des Solarstrahlungs-Potenzials
(2018-08-27)
Ziel dieser Arbeit ist die realistische Quantifizierung der bei der Erstellung von Ertragsprognosen auftretenden Unsicherheiten unter besonderer Berücksichtigung langfristiger Variationen des Solarstrahlungs-Potenzials. Daneben sollten mögliche Verbesserungs-Potenziale zur Prognose der Erträge von PV-Kraftwerken identifiziert und umgesetzt werden. Dazu wird zunächst die Konzeption und Methodik von Ertragsgutachten für PV-Kraftwerke systematisch erfasst und beschrieben. Die relevanten ...

Dynamische Konfiguration verteilter Informationsverarbeitung in Gruppen heterogener Agenten
(2018-03-22)
Das erfolgreiche Agieren von Multiagentensystemen (MAS) setzt eine umfangreiche und hochwertige Wissensbasis voraus. Die Wissensbasis umfasst die von einem Agenten benötigten Informationen, welche durch die Verarbeitung von Sensorinformationen erzeugt werden. Die Anpassung der Informationsverarbeitung an die Einsatzdomäne ermöglicht es, die Qualität der Wissensbasis zu gewährleisten und so die Leistung des MAS zu steigern. Aktuelle Middleware-Systeme unterstützen die Integration von gängigen Methoden und Verfahren ...

Ordered Restarting Automata
(epubli, 2018-07-10)
In der folgenden Arbeit geht es um geordnete Restartautomaten. Restartautomaten sind ein theoretisches Modell, das in der Linguistik bei der Analyse durch Reduktion Verwendung findet. Die geordneten Restartautomaten wurden im Zusammenhang von zweidimensionalen Bildsprachen eingeführt und bilden das zugrundeliegende eindimensionale Modell.
Von diesem eindimensionalen Modell betrachten wir verschiedene Varianten und untersuchen und vergleichen hauptsächlich Sprachklassen und Beschreibungskomplexität. Eine Gemeinsamkeit ...

Warenströme in Mitteleuropa – Die Integrationsleistungen der Logistik im 20. Jahrhundert
(2018-09-01)
The paper first explains the concept of logistics in the context of the mass consumer society. It uses the case studies of the Speicherstadt in Hamburg and the Rhenania warehouse in Mannheim to describe warehouse management as part of logistics. The article distinguishes between bulk goods and packaged goods. The logistics of bulk goods are explained by the transport services of Rhine shipping and by the transport services of the railways, with tensions in railway policy between France and Germany being outlined. The ...

Mathematical Models in the Description of Pregnane X Receptor (PXR)-Regulated Cytochrome P450 Enzyme Induction
(2018-06-15)
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a drug/xenobiotic-activated transcription factor of crucial importance for major cytochrome P450 xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (CYP) expression and regulation in the liver and the intestine. One of the major target genes regulated by PXR is the cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP3A4), which is the most important human drug-metabolizing enzyme. In addition, PXR is supposed to be involved both in basal and/or inducible expression of many other CYPs, such as CYP2B6, CYP2C8, 2C9 and 2C19, CYP3A5, ...
