The Surface Plasmon Resonance of Supported Noble Metal Nanoparticles: Characterization, Laser Tailoring, and SERS Application
(2007-07-20)
This work deals with the optical properties of supported noble metal nanoparticles, which are dominated by the so-called Mie resonance and are strongly dependent on the particles’ morphology. For this reason, characterization and control of the dimension of these systems are desired in order to optimize their applications. Gold and silver nanoparticles have been produced on dielectric supports like quartz glass, sapphire and rutile, by the technique of vapor deposition under ultra-high vacuum conditions. During the ...

Goldnanoteilchen auf Titandioxid
(2009-02-23)
In dieser Arbeit wurde das Wachstum sowie die ultraschnelle Elektronendynamik des Oberflächenplasmon Polaritons von Goldnanoteilchen auf Titandioxid untersucht. Die Messung der Dephasierungszeit des Oberflächenplasmons von Nanoteilchen mit definierter Form und Größe erfolgte dabei mit der Methode des spektralen Lochbrennens. Die Nanoteilchen wurden durch Deposition von Goldatomen aus einem thermischen Atomstrahl mit anschließender Diffussion und Nukleation, d.h. Volmer-Weber-Wachstum, auf Titandioxidsubstraten ...

Web Service Composition Systems for the Web Service Challenge - A Detailed Review
(2007-11-19)
This report gives a detailed discussion on the system, algorithms, and techniques that we have applied in order to solve the Web Service Challenges (WSC) of the years 2006 and 2007. These international contests are focused on semantic web service composition. In each challenge of the contests, a repository of web services is given. The input and output parameters of the services in the repository are annotated with semantic concepts. A query to a semantic composition engine contains a set of available input concepts ...

Causes of legume-rotation effects in increasing cereal yields across the Sudanian, Sahelian and Guinean zone of West Africa
(Horst, Walter J. (u.a.) (Hrsg.), 2001)
On-farm experiments and pot trials were conducted on eight West African soils to explore the mechanisms governing the often reported legume rotation-induced cereal growth increases in this region. Crops comprised pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor Moench), maize (Zea mays L.), cowpea (Vigna unguiculata Walp.) and groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). In groundnut trials the observed 26 to 85% increases in total dry matter (TDM) of rotation cereals (RC) compared with continuous cereals (CC) in ...

Entwicklung von Internetdiensten im Bereich der elektrischen Maschinenauslegung
(2008-11-25)
Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Entwicklung analytischer Modelle im Bereich der elektrischen Maschinenauslegung und deren Umsetzung in ein Softwaresystem, dass zur Auslegung elektrischer Maschinen verwendet werden kann. Es wurden zahlreiche Modelle für die elektromagnetische sowie thermische Berechnung der permanentmagneterregten Synchronmaschine sowie Asynchronmaschine mit Kurzschlussläufer entwickelt. Bei den Berechnungen wurde mit einer geringen Anzahl von Eingabewerten eine gute Genauigkeit bei der Berechnung ...

Silbernanoteilchen auf Magnesiumoxid - Über den Vergleich von optischer Spektroskopie, Rasterkraftmikroskopie und Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie
(2006-06-02)
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde das Wachstum von Silbernanoteilchen auf Magnesiumoxid und dabei insbesondere deren Größen- und Formrelation untersucht. Hierzu wurden Silbernanoteilchen auf ausgedehnten Magnesiumoxidsubstraten sowie auf Magnesiumoxid-Nanowürfeln präpariert. Zur Charakterisierung wurde die optische Spektroskopie, die Rasterkraftmikroskopie und die Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie eingesetzt.
Während die Elektronenmikroskopie direkt sehr exakte Daten bezüglich der Größe und Form der Nanoteilchen ...

Cereal/legume rotations affect chemical properties and biological activities in two West African soils
(2001)
A more widespread use of cereal/legume rotations has been suggested as a means to sustainably meet increasing food demands in sub-Saharan West Africa. Enhanced cereal yields following legumes have been attributed to chemical and biological factors such as higher levels of mineral nitrogen (Nmin) and arbuscular mycorrhizae (AM) but also to lower amounts of plant parasitic nematodes. This study was conducted under controlled conditions to examine the relative contribution of AM, plant parasitic nematodes and increased ...

Changes in amino acid enantiomers and microbial performance in soils from a subtropical mountain oasis in Oman abandoned for different periods
(2003)
An important feature of maintaining the agricultural stability in millennia-old mountain oases of northern Oman is the temporary abandonment of terraces. To analyse the effects of a fallow period on soil microbial performance, i.e. microbial activity and microbial biomass, samples of eight terrace soils abandoned for different periods were collected in situ, assigned to four fallow age classes and incubated for 30 days in the laboratory after rewetting. The younger fallow age classes of 1 and 5 years were based on ...

Cereal/legume rotation effects on rhizosphere bacterial community structure in West African soils
(2003)
The increased use of cereal/legume crop rotation has been advocated as a strategy to increase cereal yields of subsistence farmers in West Africa, and is believed to promote changes in the rhizosphere that enhance early plant growth. In this study we investigated the microbial diversity of the rhizoplane from seedlings grown in two soils previously planted to cereal or legume from experimental plots in Gaya, Niger, and Kaboli, Togo. Soils from these legume rotation and continuous cereal plots were placed into containers ...

Network properties of folksonomies
(2007)
Social resource sharing systems like YouTube and del.icio.us have acquired a large number of users within the last few years. They provide rich resources for data analysis, information retrieval, and knowledge discovery applications. A first step towards this end is to gain better insights into content and structure of these systems. In this paper, we will analyse the main network characteristics of two of these systems. We consider their underlying data structures â so-called folksonomies â as tri-partite ...
