Aqueous Leaching Prior to Dewatering Improves the Quality of Solid Fuels from Grasslands
(2018-04-04)
Renewable energies are necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in energy production, and biomass plays a dominant role in the renewable energy sector. Combustion of biomass constitutes an efficient conversion technique, but is hindered by harmful elements which are frequently contained in residual grassland biomass. We investigated the effect of leaching on solid fuel quality with three independent experiments including the following treatments: (1) with or without leaching, (2) with leaching at various water ...

Simulation-based optimization of solar thermal systems
(2018)
In this PhD thesis application of numerical methods to simulation-based optimization of solar thermal systems both in the planning process and in operation is investigated. The optimization process starting from definition of a target function and specification of optimization parameters, moving forward with application of an optimization algorithm and ending up by sensitivity analysis at the found optimum, is described in detail. A hybrid genetic CHC – binary search algorithm is proposed and applied. As a combination ...

Short-spored Subulicystidium (Trechisporales, Basidiomycota): high morphological diversity and only partly clear species boundaries
(2018-06-27)
Diversity of corticioid fungi (resupinate Basidiomycota), especially outside the northern temperate climatic zone, remains poorly explored. Furthermore, most of the known species are delimited by morphological concepts only and, not rarely, these concepts are too broad and need to be tested by molecular tools. For many decades, the delimitation of species in the genus Subulicystidium (Hydnodontaceae, Trechisporales) was a challenge for mycologists. The presence of numerous transitional forms as to basidiospore size ...

Estimating the Effects of Climate Change on the Water Resources in the Upper Indus Basin (UIB)
(2018)
Water balance calculations and spatially distributed rainfall-runoff models require high-resolution climatic datasets as the primary input, however, in the Upper Indus basin (UIB), it is rare to find in-situ observational climate data which have spatial, altitudinal and temporal coverage, suitable enough for distributed hydrological investigations and so for the assessment of climate-change’s hydrological impacts. The average precipitation amounts over the UIB are unrealistically low to sustain the observed discharge ...

Entwicklung eines Modells zur Abbildung von Verfahrensketten für nachwachsende Rohstoffe
(2018-12-16)
Neben Nahrungs- und Futtermitteln werden auf landwirtschaftlichen Flächen zunehmend nach-wachsende Rohstoffen erzeugt. Dieser Trend wird durch die deutsche Bundesregierung aktiv gefördert – auch um die gesetzten Klimaziele zu erreichen. Derzeit konzentriert sich das Interesse auf Energiepflanzen und deren Verwertung. Jedoch können nachwachsende Rohstoffe auch in der Industrie eine signifikante Rolle spielen und dort unter anderem konventionelle, endliche Rohstoffe substituieren. Beispielsweise werden bereits heute ...

Immer noch und immer wieder – Streit um den Status von DRK-Krankenschwestern – Überlegungen nach der Lektüre einer Entscheidungsanmerkung Bernd von Maydells
(2018)
Viele tausend Schwestern des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes arbeiten noch heute in deutschen Krankenhäusern und in der Krankenpflege. Sie tun dies meist auf der Grundlage sogenannter Gestellungsverträge zwischen ihrer jeweiligen Schwesternschaft und dem Krankenhausträger. Der arbeitsrechtliche Status der DRK-Schwestern ist seit Jahrzehnten hochumstritten. Ein Aspekt dieser komplexen Problematik betrifft die Frage, ob solche Schwestern, die aufgrund von Gestellungsverträgen dauerhaft in Krankenhäusern arbeiten, in Bezug auf ...

Distributing mathematical practice of third and seventh graders: Applicability of the spacing effect in the classroom
(2018-10-23)
We examined the effect of distributed practice on the mathematical performance of third and seventh graders (N = 213) in school. Students first received an introduction to a mathematical topic, derived from their curriculum. Thereafter, they practiced in one of two conditions. In the massed condition, they worked on three practice sets in 1 day. In the distributed condition, they worked on one practice set per day for 3 consecutive days. Bayesian analyses of the performance in two follow‐up tests 1 and 6 weeks after ...

In the search for low-cost year-round feeds: Pen-level growth performance of local and crossbred Ugandan pigs fed forage- or silage-based diets versus commercial diet
(Kassel University Press, 2018-12-04)
Smallholder pig farmers in East Africa report that lack of feed, seasonal feed shortages, quality and cost are key constraints to pig rearing. Commercially prepared pig diets are too expensive and people and pigs compete for food. Smallholder farmers typically feed nutritionally unbalanced diets, resulting in low average daily gain (ADG) and poor farmer profits. Our objective was to compare the ADG of Ugandan pigs fed forage- or silage-based or commercial diets. Ugandan weaner-grower pigs were randomly assigned to ...

Negative effects for coaching clients and coaches and implications for their prevention
(2018-02-28)
This dissertation is a thesis by publication, which is based on four studies. The results have been published in international peer-reviewed journals or are submitted for publication. This work introduces the overarching background and goals of this dissertation, its core findings, and how they contribute to the dissertation goals. The full-length manuscripts are presented in the end.
Background: Coaching researchers and practitioners alike call for the need of evidence-based coaching. However, evidence-based coaching ...
