Consumers ’ perception of sustainable packaging in the food industry: An online experiment
(2022-01)
Consumers evaluate products and make purchasing decisions based on packaging and its sustainable aspects. This research investigated how different packages and their quality, eco-friendliness, expensiveness, and convenience affected consumers’ intentions to purchase. Our sample comprised 299 French consumers of muesli cereals. We conducted an online choice experiment to analyze and measure consumers’ perception of sustainable packaging, comparing three distinct experimental groups. Findings revealed that quality and ...

Geschichtswissenschaft
(2021-07-15)
Die mittelalterliche Geschichte ist derzeit noch relativ fester Bestandteil des allgemeinen Geschichtsunterrichts, obwohl die zeitliche Differenzierung durch die Kompetenzorientierung in den Lehrplänen immer weiter zurückgedrängt wird. Anders als rein chronologisch-inhaltliche Lehrpläne bietet die Kompetenzorientierung jedoch grundsätzlich gute Möglichkeiten, ‚mittelalterliches‘ Material einzubauen. In den meisten geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultäten existiert in der Regel – mit einigen Ausnahmen – eine eigene ...

Analysis and Method Selection of a Measure-Correlate-Predict Methodology for a Digital Wind Buoy
(2022)
The determination of the site-specific wind conditions has a significant influence on the development and use of offshore wind energy. Lower uncertainties of wind potential result in cost-effective project financing. Floating lidar systems (FLS) or wind lidar buoys have become increasingly common in recent years as a measuring technology for the determination of offshore wind resource. However, due to harsh offshore environmental conditions, offshore measurements with FLS are prone to reliability issues which might ...

Promises and Pitfalls of Machine Learning Modeling in Psychological Research
(2024)
Algorithmen des maschinellen Lernens werden in der Psychologie und ihren Teildisziplinen immer beliebter. Sie werden häufig dafür angepriesen, dass sie mit der Multikollinearität von Prädiktorvariablen und komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Prädiktoren und Kriterien effizient umgehen können. Trotz ihrer Vorteile werden auch immer mehr kritische Stimmen laut, die auf die derzeitigen Grenzen von Vorhersagen durch maschinelles Lernen hinweisen und die Frage aufwerfen, ob die Algorithmen den Erwartungen gerecht werden. ...

Land degradation and the upper hand of sustainable agricultural intensification in sub-Saharan Africa - A systematic review
(2024-05-13)
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces severe land degradation, driven by a combination of human and natural factors. Deforestation, inadequate land management practices, and unsustainable farming methods are the primary causes. The historical trends reveal the impact of soil erosion and nutrient depletion on 70% of the soil and 65% of its total land area. Unchecked degradation poses a critical threat to economic growth and poverty reduction initiatives. The region's food security is intricately linked to the complex interplay ...

On the Influence of Surface Hardening Treatments on Microstructure Evolution and Residual Stress in Microalloyed Medium Carbon Steel
(2020-06-09)
Tailoring surface properties is a key to superior performance of components subjected to fatigue loadings in application. Process–microstructure–property relationships have to be established to allow for optimization of techniques employed for surface treatments such as deep rolling and induction hardening. Although both techniques are employed widely in industrial application, studies examining microstructure evolution and residual stress states for a single material in a comparative manner are missing. Amongst ...

Influence of Microstructure and Defects on Mechanical Properties of AISI H13 Manufactured by Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion
(2021-08-04)
Electron beam powder bed fusion (E-PBF) is a well-known additive manufacturing process. Components are realized based on layer-by-layer melting of metal powder. Due to the high degree of design freedom, additive manufacturing came into focus of tooling industry, especially for tools with sophisticated internal cooling channels. The present work focuses on the relationships between processing, microstructure evolution, chemical composition and mechanical properties of a high alloyed tool steel AISI H13 (1.2344, ...

Evaluation of extremely steep residual stress gradients based on a combined approach using laboratory-scale equipment
(2021-11-30)
Surface treatments characterized by rapid heating and cooling (e.g. laser hardening) can induce very steep residual stress gradients in the direct vicinity of the area being treated. These gradients cannot be characterized with sufficient accuracy by means of the classical sin2Ψ approach applying angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction. This can be mainly attributed to limitations of the material removal method. In order to resolve residual stress gradients in these regions without affecting the residual stress equilibrium, ...
