Towards LiDAR-based Spatio-temporal Scene Understanding for Autonomous Vehicles
(2026-05-15)Self-driving cars are expected to reduce the number of casualties caused by traffic accidents, since a machine is always attentive, it can exploit various input modalities, and it always obeys the traffic rules. Liberating ... -
Optimierung und Modellierung der Wachstumsbedingungen für die geschützte Langzeitkultivierung von Lemna minor L.
(2026-05-15)Unter geeigneten Bedingungen produzieren Lemna spp. rasch große Mengen wertvoller Biomasse, die als alternative Quelle für Futter- und Lebensmittel gilt. Für eine kontinuierliche und langfristige Indoor-Produktion unter ... -
Understanding Stress-induced Dynamics of Solar-induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence with Leaf-level Hyperspectral Imaging
(2026-05-08)Proximal sensing of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) is widely used as a non-invasive indicator of photosynthetic activity. Together with photochemical quenching (PQ) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), SIF ... -
Effects of hydrolysable tannins and dry matter content on nitrogen metabolism in different ensiled forage species and feed intake behaviour of goats
(2026-05-08)Ensiled grass and legume forages are key components of ruminant diets, providing locally available, resource-efficient sources of crude protein (CP), energy and fibre. However, inevitable degradation and conversion processes ... -
Host status and damage potential of Meloidogyne species in mint and parsley production
(2026-04-21)Peppermint and parsley are widely cultivated medicinal and aromatic plants, and like many other crops, they are vulnerable to infections caused by plant-parasitic nematodes of the genus <em>Meloidogyne</em>. Host status ... -
Signaling Components Shaping Arabidopsis Defense and Susceptibility in Nematode Interactions
(2026-04-15)Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are roundworms distinguished by a spear-like stylet at the anterior end of their body, which they use to mechanically damage host cells and facilitate entry. This stylet also serves as a ... -
Root growth and belowground interactions and plasticity of field crops: Responses to nutrient availability and intercropping
(2026-04-14)Understanding the growth of roots and belowground interactions of field crops constitutes a pathway to enhancing the performance of field crops. Global challenges related to climate change and a growing population are ... -
Climate-driven and intrinsic oceanic excitation of low-frequency polar motion variability
(2026-04-13)Earth rotation is fundamental for defining reference systems and applications such as navigation on Earth and in space. In addition to lunisolar torques, internal processes such as mantle deformations or mass redistributions ... -
Identification, Virulence and Ecological Characterisation of Indigenous Entomopathogenic Nematodes as Biological Control Agents Against Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in Nigeria
(2026-04-07)Smallholder agriculture in Nigeria faces persistent insect pest pressure and a widespread dependence on chemical insecticides in several crop sectors, alongside limited awareness of sustainable alternatives. This researched ... -
Holistic Health Approaches in Ghana: Essays on the evolution and institutionalisation of the One Health concept, the social and environmental determinants of health, and the determinants of technological change
(2026-04-02)This thesis examines holistic health approaches in Ghana, specifically One Health and Eco-Health, guided by three interrelated research objectives through a series of essays corresponding to five chapters. The first objective ... -
Towards Automated Recipe Reconstruction: Optimization of Dietary Data Collection using Information Retrieval, Large Language Models and Mathematical Optimization
(2025-12)Accurate and scalable collection of dietary data is vital for advancing nutritional epidemiology and understanding links between diet, public health, and environmental sustainability. A key challenge is the collection of ... -
Improving Explanations of Convolutional Neural Networks with Applications to Land Cover Mapping
(2026-04-02)Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have revolutionized computer vision and remain a key technology in many satellite imagery applications for environmental monitoring. As these models are integrated into scientific ... -
Beyond Deforestation Reductions: Co-Benefits of Conservation Policies in the Brazilian Amazon
(2026-04-02)The worldwide trend in tropical forest loss has been increasing overall since the 2000s. This imposes real social costs, such as through higher greenhouse gas emissions, diminished biodiversity, and harm to livelihoods and ... -
Alterations of the nutrient uptake depth as inferred from radiogenic strontium isotopes in two case studies: a forest ecosystem and an agricultural field
(2026-03-31)Climate change and its associated effects, such as higher temperatures and atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> concentration, pose increasing challenges to both forest and agricultural ecosystems. Nutrient uptake from deeper soil ... -
Insights into the genetic architecture of the porcine immune system based on SNP chip and whole genome sequencing data
(2026-03-31)Animal health and welfare are key challenges facing pig breeding and production. In this regard, the immune system and immune reaction are important determinants to focus on. Among the multitude of parameters that can be ... -
The role of agroforestry-based community forests in curbing agricultural encroachment in state forests in Myanmar: Using an integrated approach for evaluation
(2026-03-30)In Myanmar, agricultural expansion has caused major deforestation and forest land title loss, leading to irreversible land-use changes that hinder reforestation. To address this issue, the government introduced a policy ... -
Efficient Instance Segmentation for Agricultural Applications
(2026-03-27)Precise and smart farming technologies, such as agricultural robots, have emerged as crucial solutions to address the challenges of food security and environmental sustainability. Equipped with advanced computer vision ... -
Photoassimilates Transport and Distribution in Sugar Beet Taproots affected by Biotic Stress and Shoot Manipulations
(2026-03-24)<strong>Background and Motivation:</strong> Exogenous factors such as diseases, herbivory damage and mechanical manipulation may disrupt photoassimilates transport and distribution between source and sink organs in plants, ... -
Widerspruch begegnen – viele Antworten, ein Ökolandbau: Tagungsband zur 18. Wissenschaftstagung Ökologischer Landbau ; Bonn, 3. bis 6. März 2026
(2026-02)Die Wissenschaftstagung Ökologischer Landbau wird 'erwachsen'. Bereits zum 18. Mal bietet die WITA ein Forum für die deutschsprachige Präsentation und Diskussion aktueller Forschungsergebnisse im ökologischen Landbau. ... -
Effect of soil mechanical properties, root tip geometry, and mucilage on penetration resistance to root growth
(2026-03-19)Plant root systems are vital for global food security, yet their growth is constrained by soil compaction, which increases penetration resistance and reduces root elongation. Plants mitigate this through the secretion of ...
