Development of a decentralized solar assisted milk pasteurizer and improved chiller for rural communities
(2022)
Renewable energy is the only way to cope with changing climate for under-developed countries like Pakistan, particularly solar energy must be opted out due to plentiful sunshine hours. Being a natural liquid food, milk is a complete nutritional diet containing all of the essential minerals such as protein, fat and vitamins. However, improper post milking handling and storage resulting in wastage due to microorganisms and bacterial multiplication. The present study enables the application of decentralized solar-based ...

The Importance of tRNA Modification and SSD1 Status for Protein Homeostasis and Cell Viability
(2022-03)
Chemical modifications of anticodon loop are required to support tRNA function in mRNA decoding and to prevent protein aggregation in the eukaryotic model system Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This work investigates the effects of mutation in the gene encoding the Deg1 pseudouridine synthase. It is known that the mutation of the human DEG1 orthologue PUS3 causes severe neurological and developmental defects, emphasizing the general importance of the modification. However, the exact cellular consequences of deg1/pus3mutation ...

Regulatorische und systembedingte Barrieren im Bereich Nachhaltige Geldanlagen in der Anlageberatung im Retail Banking
(2022-07-29)
Der vorliegende Forschungsbericht analysiert die Auswirkungen von MiFID II sowie die Um-setzung der vierten Maßnahme „Berücksichtigung der Nachhaltigkeit in der Anlageberatung“ des EU Aktionsplans. Ziel ist es, ein tieferes Verständnis über die Auswirkungen der Integration der Abfrage der Nachhaltigkeitspräferenz sowie den potentiellen Barrieren, die auf Seiten der Anlageberater aus diesem regulatorischen Eingriff resultieren, aufzubauen. Zur Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage wurden mit 30 Anlageberatern semi-strukturierte ...

Striking for the Common Good
(2022-08)
The re-emergence of massive strikes in the public education sector, predominantly in the more conservative, union-weak American South, has brought seismic change to the industry and its workers. Solving the puzzle as to why these strikes were so successful against massive obstacles could beget better methods for organizing strikes in a period when neo-liberal reforms threaten public services around the world. Furthermore, an understanding of why these strikes were successful can contribute to the contemporary discourse ...

Effiziente Erdgasbereitstellung mit erneuerbaren Energien
(2022-07)
Gas-Druckregel- und Messanlagen (GDRMA) nehmen für den Erdgastransport eine wichtige Rolle als Übergabestellen zwischen den Netzabschnitten ein. Bei der Druckreduktion kommt es infolge des Joule-Thomson-Effektes zu einer Abkühlung, wodurch die Anlagentechnik vereisen und die Gasversorgung gefährdet sein kann. Um diesen gestörten Betrieb zu vermeiden, wird das Erdgas im Vorfeld der Entspannung erwärmt. Dabei fällt der damit einhergehende Wärmebedarf auf einem für erneuerbare Energieanwendungen hervorragendem ...

Analysis of near-substrate magnetic particle transport for Lab-on-a-chip applications: stray field modulations, influence of particle properties and three-dimensional trajectories
(2022)
Die Entwicklung schneller und zuverlässiger Diagnostik ist ein wichtiges Ziel für die Früherkennung von Krankheiten. Standardisierte Labormethoden sind heutzutage meist langsam und mit hohen Kosten verbunden. Innerhalb der Lab-on-a-chip (LOC)-Technologie kann der Nachweis eines pathogenen Organismus auf die Größe eines kleinen Chips miniaturisiert werden, indem magnetische Partikel als Fängerobjekte integriert werden. Die Kombination einer statischen Magnetfeldlandschaft (MFL) mit zeitlich variierenden externen ...

Consistency and Computation
(2022)
The diagonal arguments by Cantor, Gödel and Turing constitute fundamental results that demonstrate limits to what is mathematically possible. These results can easily appear to us as limits that must hold, as if they were laws of nature that govern the ideal world of platonic numbers and logic, giving them an “ultraphysical” appearance of rigidity and hardness.
In all three cases, Wittgenstein critically examines the formal ideal of consistency and points out that the conclusions of the diagonal arguments only seem ...

Farmers’ attitudes and perceptions of adoption of agricultural innovations in Kenya: a mixed methods analysis
(2022-08-20)
Attitudes and perceptions are key constructs in decision making. Their nature and influence on agricultural technology adoption among smallholder farmers in Kenya has not been adequately researched. The research applied a mixed methods approach to assess the influence of attitudes and perceptions in adoption of agricultural innovations by smallholder farmers in Kenya. The quantitative phase used a survey (n=245) while the qualitative consisted of focus groups (n=28) to elicit subjective farmer views of innovations. ...

Horsegram [Macrotyloma uniflorum]: an underutilized pulse crop as a sustainable plant-based protein
(2022-07-31)
The demand of consumers for plant-based protein is high and is anticipated to increase in the future due to various underlying health benefits. Moreover, the production of high-quality animal protein globally results in a challenging situation for the sustainability of the environment. Contemporary, to find new alternative protein sources, underutilized legumes are given more attention to meet the ever-increasing requirement for vegetable protein.One of the indigenous underutilized legumes is Horsegram (Macrotyloma ...
