Development of a novel app-based system for the digital color read out of time-temperature-indicators and to monitor shelf life along the chain
(2023-10-19)The aim of this study was the development of an app-based system for the digital read-out of Time-Temperature-Indicators (TTI) and the shelf life prediction of perishable products. The study was subdivided into four parts: ... -
Assessment of intelligent packaging systems to improve resource efficiency along the supply chain of fresh produce
(2025-02-21)The aim of this thesis was the assessment of intelligent packaging systems along different supply chains of fresh produce and their contribution to improve resource efficiency. As part of the work, a novel method was used ... -
Environmental impacts of silage production: Formation, emission and fixation of gases from field to barn
(2025-02-21)Silages are essential feeds in livestock husbandry. Losses should be minimised to close the nutrient cycle between crop and animal production. Besides, losses are generally associated with emissions of climate and environmental ... -
Geometric Algorithms for the Visual Exploration of Spatiotemporal Data
(2025-02-20)The visualization of spatial data is an important research field in geoinformation science. Especially nowadays, where positioning sensors are widely spread, many (large) data sets have spatial information. As an example, ... -
Stickstoffreduzierte Nährstoffversorgung bei heranwachsenden Schweinen: Ein Beitrag zur Ressourcenschonung und Verbesserung der Robustheit
(2025-02)Für eine nachhaltige und umweltschonende Schweineproduktion ist die Reduktion der Stickstoff (N) und Phosphor (P) Ausscheidung von zentraler Bedeutung. Dieses Ziel kann nur durch interdisziplinäre Forschungsansätze von ... -
From genes to policy: Mission-oriented governance of plant-breeding research and technologies
(2023-09-04)Mission-oriented governance of research focuses on inspirational, yet attainable goals and targets the sustainable development goals through innovation pathways. We disentangle its implications for plant breeding research ... -
The impact of automated, constant incomplete milking on energy balance, udder health, and subsequent performance in early lactation of dairy cows
(2024-01)Incomplete milking (IM) is one way of mitigating the negative energy balance (NEB) that is characteristic for early lactation and may increase the risk for disease. Our objectives were to test the effects of IM in early ... -
Recording group and area-specific activity of fattening pigs by using Passive Infrared Detectors on farm
(2023-11-02)Animal activity in pigs can be a direct indicator of animal welfare. Passive infrared detectors (PID) provide one method of measuring animal activity on the pen level as a cost-effective and easy-to-use sensor technique. ... -
A Systematic Review of the Impact of Fat Quantity and Fatty Acid Composition on Postprandial Vascular Function in Healthy Adults and Patients at Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
(2023-12)Atherosclerosis is a key risk factor for developing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Flow-mediated dilation (FMD), which reflects vascular reactivity, as well as pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx), both ... -
Herbizide Wirkung von Mikroorganismen und Naturstoffen
(2025-02)Der integrierte und ökologische Landbau steht vor der Herausforderung, chemische Pflanzenschutzmaßnahmen deutlich zu reduzieren. Es fehlen jedoch vielfach die Alternativen, um diesen Wandel ökonomisch und ökologisch sinnvoll ... -
Stakeholder engagement in agro-climate service planning
(2024-01)The impacts of weather, climate variability and climate change on agricultural production underline the increasing importance of actionable agro-climatic services. Transitioning from supply-driven provision of climate and ... -
Growth performance and economic impact of Simmental fattening bulls fed dry or corn silage-based total mixed rations
(2023-04)Bull-fattening diets in Europe and most developed countries around the world have traditionally been based on corn silage, starch-rich, and high-energy/ high-protein supplemental feeds. The impact of climate change on crop ... -
The influence of dietary concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus on performance and nutrient excretion of growing-finishing pigs, potential genotype by diet interactions and the role of gut microbiome
(2025-01-30)Rising feed costs and a high environmental burden from nutrient excretion need a re-evaluation of feeding and breeding strategies in pig production. Approaches focus on minimizing nitrogen and phosphorus (N/P) excretion, ... -
Robotic Vision for Precision Intervention in Horticulture
(2025-01-20)Striving towards optimal sustainable agriculture systems to address the world’s growing demand for food, precision agriculture has emerged as a key strategy. In recent years robotic systems have gained remarkable capabilities ... -
Root trait response to drought, recovery, and P deficiency of upland rice
(2025-01-16)Phosphorus deficit and intermittent drought can cause high-yield reductions in rice (Oryza sativa L.) production. Large differences in tolerance of low P availability and drought resilience were found in the upland rice, ... -
Importance of root-soil contact conditions for the microbiota in the soil-rhizosphere-plant continuum
(2025-01-14)The contact zone between a root and the surrounding soil mediates processes such as nutrient and water uptake and the interaction with microorganisms. Despite the importance of the contact zone, there is a lack of understanding ... -
Data-driven Image Generation for Crop Growth Modeling
(2025-01-09)Crop growth models play a crucial role in agriculture as they help to understand how crops grow and thrive. They allow farmers to predict how much harvest they can expect, which is important when planning, storing, and ... -
Molecular mechanisms of Pseudomonas-enhanced plant performance in Brachypodium under limited nitrogen
(2025-01-08)While the world population is increasing, the use of nitrogenous fertilizers has become obligatory to increase yields to meet the global food demand. Overuse of synthesized N fertilizers does not only negatively impact the ... -
Analyzing Crowd-Sourced Trajectories to Infer Routing Preferences of Cyclists
(2025-01-06)In the last decade, the activities of many volunteers have resulted in almost complete representations of street networks and large sets of trajectories. The latter have primarily been collected by recreational sportspeople ... -
Development of an experimental gravimetric geoid model for Nigeria
(2024-12-17)Due to the increasing demand for precise mapping, surveying, geodesy, and large-scale infrastructure projects, the establishment of a precise national geoid model for Nigeria is essential. In this doctoral thesis, an ...
