Safety Approach of Detecting Abnormal Events (Spinning and Sliding) in Vehicular Systems
(2021)
The primary theme in the vehicles industry is the increase in automating and integrating more robust intelligent electronic systems to enhance the safe functioning, flexibility, and to extend the virtual productive age of the vehicular systems. Further, significant efforts focus on developing monitoring systems for the abnormal driving conditions such as wheel spinning and sliding that can increase the hazardous in the operating environment and speed up the wearing off process. Thus, these events play a primary role ...

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 ...

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. ...

Dealing with Opportunism: Experimental Investigations of Measures against Dishonest Behavior
(2021)
This dissertation aims at investigating whether and how distinct measures that are supposed to foster honest behavior work. It consists of three separate papers, in which I analyze the effectiveness and mechanisms of such measures on the basis of several laboratory experiments. Chapter 2 is dedicated to analyzing and comparing the effectiveness of distinct measures that are supposed to prevent people from lying for financial gain. Chapter 3 introduces a novel experimental design that allows the measurement of the ...

Reasons for consuming rasi as a staple food for the Cireundeu indigenous people: a qualitative study
(2021-09-29)
Rasi (made from cassava) are used as staple food by the Cireundeu indigenous people. This food culture is considered different from the food culture of Indonesian people who generally make rice as their staple food. Therefore, this study aimed to show the reasons Cireundeu indigenous people consume rasi as their staple food. This qualitative research was conducted in Cireundeu Village, Cimahi City, West Java Province, Indonesia. Data was collected from the Cireundeu indigenous people through in-depth interviews and ...

Enhancement of Anaerobic Digestion of Banana Waste by Reactor Design and Substrate Pre-treatment for Improved Biogas Production
(2021)
Bananen sind stärkehaltige Früchte palmenähnlicher tropischer und subtropischer Pflanzen der Gattung musa. Uganda ist der zweitgrößte Bananenproduzent weltweit, mit besonderem Fokus auf der grünen ostafrikanischen Hochlandbanane, wissenschaftlich als Musa acuminata (AAAEA) bekannt, die landesweit unter der Bezeichnung “Matooke” als Grundnahrungsmittel genutzt wird. Die industrielle Verarbeitung dieser Bananen zur Erzeugung hochwertigen glutenfreien stärkehaltigen Mehls, das sowohl zum Backen als auch in glykämischen ...

Demonstration of improved feed trough for efficient feed utilisation by small ruminants in Southern Mali
(2021-12-21)
The ruminant feeding systems of smallholder farmers in mixed crop and livestock systems in Sudano-Sahelian zone of West Africa are characterised by waste. To promote efficient feed use, the use of improved feed trough for small ruminants was demonstrated in Sirakele, Zanzoni and M’Pessoba in Koutiala district in southern Mali in the late (March/April 2019) and early dry (February 2020) seasons. Forty-five farmers were selected randomly in the study sites and were each provided with one improved feed trough which was ...

Agroecological heuristics: Xi (Ξ) biomathematical models of alpha diversity and Lambda functional entropy index (λ) applied for macrofauna in diversified agroecosystems of Nicaragua
(2021-12-08)
Agriculture causes chaos on the macrofauna associated with agroecosystems. The functions developed by macrofauna species in agroecological environments are harmful, beneficial and fundamental for food production. In order to design Xi (Ξ) biomathematical models of alpha diversity and to create a functional entropy index (λ), the taxonomic identification of macrofauna was carried out in 10 agroecosystems with conventional and agroecological production approach in five locations of Nicaragua: Boaco, Carazo, Chinandega, ...
