Vereinbarkeit von muttergebundener Kälberaufzucht und automatischen Melksystemen
(2019-12)
Muttergebundene Kälberaufzucht stößt sowohl in der Öffentlichkeit als auch bei milchviehhaltenden (Öko-)Betrieben auf zunehmenden Zuspruch. Gleichzeitig steigt die Zahl der installierten AMS auf den Milchviehbetrieben. Diese Entwicklungen weisen darauf hin, dass in Zukunft mehr Betriebe die muttergebundene Kälberaufzucht mit den AMS kombinieren werden. Bei der Kombination besteht die Herausforderung darin, den Kühen das individuelle Melken im AMS zu gewähren und gleichzeitig die Kälber an diesen Kühen aufzuziehen. ...

Book Review: Qin, Yaqing. 2018. A Relational Theory of World Politics. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
A Relational Theory of World Politics by Qin Yaqing offers a significant and alternative theoretical perspective as well as timely and novel insights on international relations in a rapidly changing world. It makes an important contribution to IR theorizing by providing a new ontological foundation in which relationality plays a central role.

Algorithmic Methods for Mixed Recurrence Equations, Zeros of Classical Orthogonal Polynomials and Classical Orthogonal Polynomial Solutions of Three-Term Recurrence Equations
(2019-07)
Using an algorithmic approach, we derive classes of mixed recurrence equations satisfied by classical orthogonal polynomials. Starting from certain structure relations satisfied by classical orthogonal polynomials or their connection formulae, we show that our mixed recurrence equations are structurally valid. However, they couldn't be easily obtained with classical methods and for this reason, our algorithmic approach is important. The main algorithmic tool used here is an extended version of Zeilberger's ...

Effects of three leafy vegetables on the growth performance of Giant African Snail Achatina (Lissachatina) fulica
(2019-06-07)
This present research was performed to evaluate the effects of three leafy vegetable diets [bitter leaf (Vernonia amygdalina), fluted pumpkin leaf (Telfairia occidentalis) and pawpaw leaf (Carica papaya)] on the growth performance of Giant African Snail (Achatina fulica). A total of ninety (90) A. fulica were used for the study. Thirty (30) snails each were subjected to three different dietary treatments in three replicates of 10 snails per replicate and fed with the fresh leaves of these vegetables over a period of ...

The impact of uncertainty on smallholder farmers' income in Kyrgyzstan
(2019-12-12)
The farming systems in the mountain areas of Kyrgyzstan are primarily characterised by small-scale crop and livestock activities. Farmers are faced with several environmental, socio-economic and political challenges and constraints that result in significant uncertainties affecting their operations. This paper attempts to model how various sources of uncertainty collectively affected the smallholders’ farm incomes during a mid-term horizon using Monte Carlo simulation. The analyses were based on data collected through ...

Abhängigkeit des Exchange-Bias Feldes und des Koerzitivfeldes von der mittels Röntgendiffraktometrie gemessenen Kornvolumenverteilung des Antiferromagneten in Exchange-Bias Schichtsystemen
(2019-10-02)
Der Exchange-Bias Effekt wird in vielen technischen Anwendungen, wie z.B. in magnetischen Speichermedien oder in Magnetsensorköpfen zum Pinnen der Magnetisierungsrichtung der Referenzelektrode, eingesetzt. Dieser Effekt tritt ausschließlich in dünnen Schichtsystemen, in denen sich ein dünner Ferromagnet mit einem dünnen Antiferromagneten in Kontakt befindet, auf und bewirkt eine Verschiebung der Hysteresekurve entlang der Magnetfeldachse. Solche Exchange-Bias Schichtsysteme können mittels Ionenbeschuss, d.h., leichte ...

Competitive interaction between guava and weeds: Effect on initial growth
(2019-12-03)
Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is one of the 50 most consumed fruits in the world. However, weed competition compromises fruit production in cultivation areas. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the competitive interaction between guava plants and common infesting species on initial growth. Guava seedlings were cultivated during 60 days with Bidens subalternans DC., Waltheria indica L. or Commelina benghalensis L. in a randomized block design with four replicates. The experiment was conducted under greenhouse condition ...

The choice of institutions to solve cooperation problems: a survey of experimental research
(2019-11-01)
A growing experimental literature studies the endogenous choice of institutions to solve cooperation problems arising in prisoners’ dilemmas, public goods games, and common pool resource games. Participants in these experiments have the opportunity to influence the rules of the game before they play the game. In this paper, we review the experimental literature of the last 20 years on the choice of institutions and describe what has been learned about the quality and the determinants of institutional choice. Cooperative ...

Liming effects on reproductive growth and yield components of maize grown on an acid rainforest soil
(2019-12-03)
Maize was planted on limed and unlimed plots to study the effect of soil acidity on reproductive growth and yield components of the crop in Owerri southeastern Nigeria. Eight (8) maize varieties (Factor A) and two lime levels (0 and 2 t ha-1, Factor B) were arranged as a factorial experiment in a randomised complete block design with three replications. The number of days to 50 % anthesis and silking, anthesis-silking interval (ASI), physiological maturity and grain filling duration were measured to determine the ...
