More than irrigation - The Balinese Subak system as a unique form of cooperative water resource management in Indonesia
(Department of Organic Food Quality and Food Culture at the University of Kassel, Germany and Federation of German Scientists (VDW), 2014)
For over 1,000 years, the Balinese have developed a unique system of democratic and sustainable water irrigation. It has shaped the cultural landscapes of Bali and enables local communities to manage the ecology of terraced rice fields at the scale of whole watersheds. The Subak system has made the Balinese the most productive rice growers in Indonesia and ensures a high level of food sovereignty for a dense population on the volcanic island. The Subak system provides a vibrant example of a diverse, ecologically ...

Continuation and discontinuation of local institution in community based natural resource management
(2007-02-15)
Currently the push toward frontier areas, which until twenty years ago were still largely untouched by commercial agriculture, is taking place on a massive scale. This push is being driven not the least by global economic developments, such as the price increase of agriculture commodities like coffee and cocoa. In most cases the indigenous communities become trapped between the state monopoly in natural resource management and the competition for resources by external actors. In this processes the indigenous communities ...

Parameter identification of structural dynamic models by inverse statistical analysis
(2012-11-05)
Auf dem Gebiet der Strukturdynamik sind computergestützte Modellvalidierungstechniken inzwischen weit verbreitet. Dabei werden experimentelle Modaldaten, um ein numerisches Modell für weitere Analysen zu korrigieren. Gleichwohl repräsentiert das validierte Modell nur das dynamische Verhalten der getesteten Struktur.
In der Realität gibt es wiederum viele Faktoren, die zwangsläufig zu variierenden Ergebnissen von Modaltests führen werden: Sich verändernde Umgebungsbedingungen während eines Tests, leicht unterschiedliche ...

A Survey of the Relationship between Climatic Heat Stress Indices and Fundamental Milk Components Considering Uncertainty
(2015-11-13)
The main purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between four bioclimatic indices for cattle (environmental stress, heat load, modified heat load, and respiratory rate predictor indices) and three main milk components (fat, protein, and milk yield) considering uncertainty. The climate parameters used to calculate the climate indices were taken from the NASA-Modern Era Retrospective-Analysis for Research and Applications (NASA-MERRA) reanalysis from 2002 to 2010. Cow milk data were considered for the same ...

Ermüdungsschädigung in gealterten Gasturbinenschaufeln
(2014-09-02)
Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die bauteil- und alterungsabhängige Rissausbreitung in Gasturbinenschaufeln der polykristallinen Gusslegierung Inconel 738LC sowohl bei Raumtemperatur als auch bei 700°C analysiert. Für die Untersuchungen stand eine Sammlung von geometrisch gleichen Gasturbinenschaufeln mit unterschiedlich langen Einsatzzeiten in Kraftwerken zur Verfügung.
Durch eine Gefüge- und Rissanalyse an den vorliegenden Turbinenschaufeln wird gezeigt, dass die Rissausbreitung unter thermischer und ...
