(2022-02-14)Diese kumulative Dissertation analysiert verschiedene Strategien zur Steigerung der Biodiversität in der Schweizer Landwirtschaft. Leitgebend für die Forschung waren dabei die folgenden Fragen: Wie kann Biodiversität in ... -
Implications of topography and agronomic practices for soil biogeochemical and microbiological properties in Upper Eastern Ghana hilly farmland
(2022-02-10)While topography can infer erosion potential, implementation of convention practices can trigger accelerated erosion, and both pose major threats to soil abiotic properties and microbiota. The majority of farmlands in the ... -
Sensor-Based Phenotyping of Plant’s Physiological Responses to Abiotic Stress
(2022-02-03)Plant phenotyping can be defined as the systematic recording of morphological, anatomical, physiological and chemical characteristics of plants, as well as their developments and responses to stimuli. The common use of ... -
Towards the Development of a Continuous Spatio-Temporal Finite Element Based Representation of the Mean Sea Surface
(2022)The mean sea surface has an important role both in the calculation of the mean dynamic topography and in the area of sea level change as a reference surface. This paper presents a new approach to estimate a continuous ... -
Decision analysis and hyperspectral imaging to support farmers in ornamental heather production
(2022-02-02)Ornamental Heather (<em>Calluna vulgaris</em>) is an important crop for the farmers of Germany’s Lower Rhine region. These farmers produce more than 78% of the ornamental heather in Germany. Successful production of this ... -
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 ... -
Glucocorticoid receptor-mediated responses to immune stress in pigs in the context of a natural gain-of-function substitution Ala610Val
(2022-01-07)Despite the importance of glucocorticoids (GCs) and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signaling, relevant knowledge in pigs is scant as compared to humans and model animals. This study aims to investigate the regulation, function, ... -
Personalized digital extension services, electronic marketplaces, and mobile phones: Implications of digital technology for rural development in India
(2021-12-16)In developing countries, the cost of acquiring information is substantially high as information is limited, unevenly distributed, and inefficiently transmitted. Information problems have important consequences on how ... -
Roads, Geography, and Connectivity: Economic Impacts of Road Infrastructure in Georgia and Armenia
(2021-12-16)Adequate road infrastructure is considered one of the major factors for economic development. The improvement of connectivity has been crucial for the development agenda. This has resulted in rapid increase in infrastructure ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Combining Fluorescence and Reflectance to Quantify Dynamics in Photosynthetic Regulation
(2021-12-14)Photosynthesis in the field is anything but steady-state. Because environment is changing, understanding plant’s photosynthetic activity <em>in situ</em> is challenging. Measurement of solar-induced fluorescence (SIF), ... -
The Economics of Irrigation Systems in Ethiopia: Technological and Institutional Analysis
(2021-12-14)The Government of Ethiopia has made a strong commitment to developing and expanding various types of irrigation systems, technologies, and institutions among smallholder farmers. As a result, the irrigated area in the ... -
Interlinkage between food prices and agricultural wages and implications for farm mechanization in Bangladesh
(2021-12-01)In recent decades, Bangladesh’s economy has undergone a remarkable structural transformation. Agricultural wages are becoming high while staple food prices are becoming volatile. In the meantime, agriculture has experienced ... -
Biogas production in the light of the German Fertilization Ordinance: An economic and environmental assessment at farm and regional scale
(2021-11-26)In Germany, the expansion of biogas plants is fostered by the Renewable Energy Sources Act to support the energy transition. Beneficial aspects of biogas such as providing flexible renewable energy and generating additional ... -
Characterisation of the effect of redox potential on the emission of greenhouse gases using wireless sensing techniques
(2021-11-18)Soils act as both a source and sink of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and are widely considered to contribute to global warming. Soil N<sub>2</sub>O emissions originate from microbial nitrification and denitrification processes. ... -
