Incorporation of dried goat rumen contents in layer diets improves egg yolk colour and acceptability of eggs
(2021-06-07)
The use of dried goat rumen content (DGRC) as a partial replacement for fish meal in layer diets was investigated. A total of 90 H&N Brown Nick layer chickens were offered diets in which DGRC were incorporated at 0, 5 and 10% levels. Iso-caloric and nitrogenous diets were formulated to meet the recommended nutritional requirements for laying hens. Experimental birds were assigned to 9 cages (10 birds/cage) and experimental diets offered in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Data was collected ...

Potassium iodide influence on iodine-leaf concentration and growth of amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.)
(2021-05-25)
Low iodine content in soils is a common feature in lowland and in mountainous regions far from oceans. The diets of the people living in these regions are often deficient in dietary iodine, resulting in chronic iodine deficiency syndrome, goiter, hearing loss and other debilitating diseases. A field experiment was conducted at the Teaching and Research Farm, University of Ilorin, Nigeria during the 2017 and 2018 cropping seasons, to evaluate the response of amaranths to iodine enrichment using an agronomic approach. ...

Liquid Silicone Rubber Foams Made with Water as Blowing Agent
(2021-08-18)
Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is primarily used in injection molding. Foamed molded parts made of LSR are almost nonexistent because the process reliability of LSR foam injection molding is currently not given. It makes sense to have suitable foaming processes for this material as well, because the density of this elastomer is about 1.15 g cm−3. With the injection molding process presented herein for foaming LSR, density reductions of up to 40% can be achieved. In this process, up to 3% by weight of water is added to ...

Early planting and relay cropping: pathways to cope with heat and drought?
(2021-05-05)
Maize (Zea mays) is an important food and cash crop of uplands in Southeast Asia, where it is often prone to drought and heat stress associated with climate change. This study aimed at assessing the effect of heat and drought on maize performance, testing coping strategies under such weather extremes, and understanding associated mechanisms. The experiment was carried out during 2018 in Thailand, using a split-plot design with three replications. Treatments were: July-planted maize sole cropping (control), July-planted ...

Green food consumption: Studies on consumers’ purchase intentions and the intention-behaviour gap in the Chinese context
(2021)
With the growing problem of the global environment and exposure to various food safety incidents, consumers are increasingly concerned about the environment as well as the safety and quality of food products. Therefore, growing calls for safe, healthy, environmentally friendly, and sustainable food consumption have been growing. As one of China’s most successful ecolabelling programs, green food has shown great potential for further expansion among Chinese food consumption. This doctoral research has taken consumers’ ...

Homeoffice - eine Transformation der Arbeitswelt. Systematischer Überblick und Perspektiven der Gestaltung
(2021-05)
Coronakrise und Homeoffice scheinen zwei Seiten einer Medaille zu sein. Durch das Homeoffice lassen sich die Corona-bedingten Kontakteinschränkungen besonders erfolgreich umsetzen. Auf der einen Seite ist die Rede vom damit einhergehenden Beitrag zur Eindämmung der Infektionsrisiken. Auf der anderen Seite lässt sich so die Kontinuität wirtschaftlicher Prozesse sicherstellen. Homeoffice wird mit weiteren Vorteilen in Verbindung gebracht, die vielfach als Fortschritt auf dem Weg zu einer modernen Arbeitswelt gesehen ...

Annual industrial and commercial heat load profiles: modeling based on k-Means clustering and regression analysis
(2021-03-19)
An accurate method to predict annual heat load profiles is fundamental to many studies, e.g., preliminary design or potential studies on renewable heating systems. This study presents a method to predict annual heat load profiles with a daily resolution for industry and commerce, based on an analysis of 800 natural gas load profiles (≥ 1.5 GWh/a). To derive heat load profiles, these natural gas load profiles are normalized and those with a potentially non-linear relationship between heat demand and natural gas ...

Nutritional, antioxidant properties and polyphenol content of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) cultivated in Iran
(2021-05-25)
The quinoa is pseudocereal plant that has nutritional value. Recently, It was cultivated in iran because of water crisis. This study aimed to assess the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of quinoa cultivated in Iran for the first time. The macronutrients and energetic value, polyphenol, total phenol content and DPHH of quinoa were measured. Some B group vitamin, the free fatty acid profile was assessed by HPLC and GC-mass separately. The trace elements were also evaluated by ICP. The amounts of dry matter, ...

Kurzarbeit im Korsettt der Versicherungslogik: Es ist Zeit, die "Bazooka" neu zu justieren
(2021-06)
Ehre wem Ehre gebührt, aber Olaf Scholz hat die Kurzarbeit nicht erfunden, wie es ihm im Eifer des Wahlkampfs herausrutschte. Es besteht zwar kein Zweifel, dass er als Arbeitsminister in der Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise 2008/09 dieses Instrument kreativ und effektiv nutzte, erfunden haben es aber die Badener:innen schon in der Tabakkrise 1909. Dabei diente dieses Instrument in Baden nicht nur als Brücke der fairen Einkommenssicherung, sondern auch als Brücke zu einem nachhaltigen Strukturwandel: Statt weiter am Anbau ...

An investigation of the aspects affecting non-Muslim customers’ purchase intention of halal food products in Jakarta, Indonesia
(2021-05-25)
The international trade market of halal food products is huge and has become a fast-growing segment. People that consume food and beverage will also consider if it is good for health, well-being, nutrition, and physical fitness. Nowadays, halal products are requested by Muslim and non-Muslim customers due to safety and quality concern. Even though several studies have been conducted for Muslim customers, but there is a lack of data by foregoing studies which exploring non-Muslim customers about their intention in ...
