Efficient Semantic Scene Understanding for Mobile Robots
(2021-12-16)
Over the last few years, robots have been slowly making their way into our everyday lives. From robotic vacuum cleaners picking up after us already working in our homes, to the fleets of robo-taxis and self-driving vehicles ...
Establishment of an experimental model for dairy cows of divergent peripartal mobilization of body reserves: Profiling circulating steroid hormones and the mRNA abundance of steroid metabolizing enzymes in liver and in adipose tissue
(2021-12-16)
The lactation cycle of dairy cows is characterized by physiological, metabolic, and endocrine changes that also affect adipose tissue (AT) function and portion. These changes include lipogenesis during periods of nutrient ...
Large-scale mass redistribution in the Earth system from synergistic use of Swarm data
(2022-01-26)
Long and consistent time series of large-scale mass redistribution in the Earth system are important in many scientific research areas. The dedicated Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) and Gravity Recovery And ...
Medical nutrition therapy in long-term adult intensive care patients: effects of protein quantity on muscle mass, biochemical markers, and clinical outcome
(2022-01-18)
Research suggests that degradation of muscle mass and loss of functional proteins due to catabolism are associated with an adverse outcome in critically ill patients. While an adequate protein supply within a medical ...
Characterization of Root System Architectures from Field Root Sampling Methods
(2020-10-21)
Background and objectives: The root system architecture (RSA) of a plant determines the plant’s ability to capture resources efficiently from the soil and directly linked to plant performance. The development ...
Broken Roads and Broken Laws: How Infrastructure and Law Enforcement Shape Amazonian Deforestation Frontiers
(2020-06-29)
Deforestation of tropical rainforests contributes significantly to global climate change and accelerated biodiversity loss. To mitigate these impacts, the goal of drastically reducing tropical deforestation has been a ...
Robot Navigation Beyond Planning the Shortest Path
(2021-04-16)
Over the last decade, the demand for autonomous mobile robots has been growing continuously. Applications range from mobile manipulators operating on factory floors to autonomous cars driving in urban environments. A common ...
An environmental and economic assessment of a novel Power-to-Fuel system for biogas plants
(2022-03-02)
Power-to-Fuel (PtF) systems use carbon dioxide and hydrogen as feedstock together for renewable fuel production and can hence contribute to climate change mitigation. This study tries to evaluate whether an innovative PtF ...
Towards bamboo-agroforestry development in Ghana: exploring socio-economic and ecological potentials
(2021-01-14)
In Ghana, the rising need for household energy from wood fuels and food needs is considered a major threat to forest resources conservation. Government and scientists believe that the alarming rate of deforestation and ...
