Factors driving adoption and constraining the non-adoption of biofortified orange fleshed sweet potatoes (OFSP) among farmers in Abia State, Nigeria
(2020-09-22)
This study sought to determine the factors that drive the adoption and constrain the non-adoption of Orange Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP) varieties among farmers in Abia State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was used in selecting sixty sweet potato farmers (thirty adopters and non-adopters each). Participatory tools such as structured interview schedule, key informant interviews and personal observation were employed for quantitative and qualitative data collection. The data were analysed using descriptive ...

Development of Carrier-Envelope-Phase-Stabilized, mJ-Class Laser Sources Generating Intense, Few-Cycle Laser Pulses
(2020-05-19)
Over a decade ago the frontiers of ultrashort physics and nonlinear optics have reached the attosecond timescale ($1 as = 10 ^ {-18} s$) . Currently, in order to generate isolated attosecond pulses, an intense femtosecond pulse is focused in a jet of a noble gas. Given the sufficient intensity, this leads to high harmonic generation (HHG), which can be filtered (gated) to create a single isolated attosecond pulse. The laser source for the driver pulses has to fulfill two requirements: the pulses need to be limited ...

Determinants of households’ membership in agricultural cooperatives in Bhutan
(2021-10-05)
The Royal Government of Bhutan has been promoting agricultural cooperatives (ACs) in the country; however, the number of people joining ACs is small. This study was conducted to identify the factors influencing households' decision to join ACs in Central Bhutan. A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect data from 384 households (192 AC members and 192 non-AC members). Trained enumerators collected data in June and July 2018 using structured questionnaires. The binary logistic regression showed that households ...

Wie wird die „Wilde Weide“ nicht zum Wald?
(2020)
Das Ziel dieser Dissertation war es, die Auswirkungen einer Beweidung mit Rindern und Pferden auf initiale Sukzessionsprozesse in einem Heidegebiet zu untersuchen. Der Arbeit liegen folgende übergeordnete Fragestellungen zugrunde: 1. Wie wirkt sich die Beweidung auf die Etablierung von typischen Baumarten einer Heidelandschaft aus? 2. Welche Rolle spielt die Intensität der Beweidung dabei? 3. Inwiefern wird die Etablierung der Bäume durch die zunehmende Niederschlagsreduktion im Zuge des Klimawandels beeinflusst? 4. ...

Goal prevalence and situation types: An empirical analysis of differences in Greek and German motion event descriptions
(Bloomsbury Academic, 2020)
The aim of the current study is to investigate crosslinguistic differences in the encoding of motion events and the distribution of their constituent parts, that is, the manner as well as the path focusing mainly on the Goal component. In the abundant literature on the effect of the lexicalization pattern of a language (Satellite- versus Verb-framed), only a few studies have systematically taken into account the specific properties of the situation underlying a verbalization. With a focus on German and Greek, we ...

Definitionen und Klassifikationen
(J.B. Metzler Verlag, 2020)
Akteur*innen und Disziplinen bzw. Professionen haben – je nach Handlungskontext – Konstrukte von Behinderung entwickelt, mit denen unterschiedliche Interessen verfolgt werden. Anhand unterschiedlicher Modelle, Klassifikationen und Gesetzesnormen wird in diesem Beitrag analysiert, wie Behinderung und Nichtbehinderung konzeptualisiert werden. Dies wird exemplarisch erortert: an der aktuellen Behinderungsklassifikation der Weltgesundheitsorganisation, der Behinderungs-Definition des Sozialgesetzbuches IX in der Neufassung ...

Drivers of farmers market participation in southeast Nigeria
(2020-10-29)
The objective of this paper was to investigate the drivers of farmers’ participation in the output market for yellow pepper using a sample of 420 randomly selected producers from 8,500 farmers in selected markets in southeast Nigeria. The heterogeneity of smallholder market participation was modelled with quantile regression. The variables that affected all the quantiles (i.e. for subsistence, semi-subsistence, intermediate, semi-commercial and commercially oriented farms) are the distance to the trading centre and ...

Environmental Impacts of Food Loss and Waste: Land Degradation
(2021-02-23)
Food waste and loss have a negative impact on the environment through water, land, energy and other natural resources that are used to produce non-consumable products. According to the results of an empirical study, to establish the degree of degradation of land resources as a result of food loss and waste, as well as to identify potential environmental benefits from reducing food loss and waste for agricultural land use. Methods: The authors’ methodological approach for assessing the impact of food loss and waste ...

Ferrocen-basierte N-heterocyclische Tetrylene
(2020)
Verbindungen des Typs R-E-R‘ (E = C, Si, Ge, Sn, Pb; R = Substituent) werden Tetrylene genannt. Da das jeweilige Tetrelatom E subvalent vorliegt, sind die meisten Vertreter dieser Substanzklasse hoch reaktiv und müssen unter Schutzgasatmosphäre gehandhabt werden. Die AG Siemeling beschäftigt sich bereits seit einigen Jahren vor allem mit Ferrocen-basierten N-heterocyclischen Vertretern der Tetrylene, wobei sich gerade die Synthese eines Silylens (E = Si) als besonders schwierig herausgestellt hat und zuvor nicht ...
