Abstract:
... Social innovation (SI) research tends to understand rural SI processes as collective initiatives of equally engaged, supportive, and like-minded people. However, recent research has indicated that SI projects often benefit from dedicated key players who find support in their communities but also must deal with resistance and barriers. Against this backdrop, this article explores the figure of the ...

Abstract:
... The State Museum of Natural History Stuttgart (SMNS) holds one of the largest and most important insect collections in Germany. True bugs (Heteroptera), with 80.000 specimens at SMNS, have previously received little attention. Here, an annotated type catalogue of the Heteroptera collection is given. Type material of 67 nominal taxa is present at SMNS, among them types of 52 valid species and three ...

Abstract:
... Using a new and original database, our paper contributes to the growth accounting literature by singling out the contribution of robots through two channels: capital deepening and TFP. The contribution of robots to productivity growth through capital deepening and TFP appears to have been significant in Germany and Japan in the sub-period 1975–1995 and in several Eastern European countries in 2005 ...

Abstract:
... Toward the mavacurane and akuammilane monoterpene indole alkaloids, we developed divergent oxidative couplings between the indole nucleus (at N1 or C7) and the C16-malonate of a common tricyclic model related to strictosidine according to a biosynthetic hypothesis postulated by Hesse and Schmid. These oxidative cyclizations led selectively to the formation of the N1–C16 bond of pleiocarpamine or t ...

Abstract:
... Dams must be permanently monitored. In Germany, all safety-relevant proofs, analyses and facts of these structures are collected and evaluated in the course of the in-depth inspections at intervals of about 10 years to 20 years with a comparatively large effort. The basis for this can be found in various standards and regulations. Based on their experience in various projects, the authors present ...

Abstract:
... Natural fine-grained suspensions usually exhibit a complex rheological fingerprint – in particular a two-step yielding phenomenon – due to the presence of mineral clay particles and organic matter (often found in a flocculated state). These rheological properties may vary considerably from one location to another due to the differences in mud composition (specifically in organic matter content). I ...

They produced a highly accurate description of the outbreak and confirmed that they had never observed such cases in France. Grancher performed two necropsies and very precisely described the histological lesions provoked ...

Abstract:
... Urban green spaces (UGS) provide important ecosystem services in cities as they support human health and wellbeing with fresh and cool air, beauty and space for physical activities. To benefit from the positive effects, citizens need access to UGS. Multi-layered barriers can restrict accessibility to green–blue infrastructure (GBI) and accompanying benefits. This study aims to quantify and visuali ...

Abstract:
... The bicolored shrew Crocidura leucodon so far has not been reported in Hamburg with certainty. Some plausible historical records before 1920 are present; in turn, two more recent records are doubtful for different reasons. Hence, the Red List status of the species for Hamburg has to be considered uncertain (either not present, or extinct). A citizen scientist provided a specimen of an unknown shre ...

A part of the sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are used to treat stormwater and must be tested for their hydraulic performance and the removal efficiency to assess serviceability and retention of the pollutants efficacy for in situ use. Current test procedures provide a good basis for laboratory testing SuDS on the test stand. However, the evaluation is not sufficiently representative to compar ...

Abstract:
... In this paper, we investigate the promises that are employed within and around clusters that were formed in the evolving bioeconomy: bioclusters for short. Our paper aims to provide a conceptual clarification of the biocluster concept. To that effect, we employ the prism of sociotechnical imaginaries. We argue that both industrial clusters and the bioeconomy constitute separate, but partly overlap ...

Abstract:
... Ridge and furrow cultivation is an example for a historic agriculture technique that has been very common in Germany, especially during medieval times. It seemed to be well-known how the ridge and furrows (RIFUs) were used and formed but previous studies came to contradictory conclusions which raised additional questions concerning their formation. Furthermore, the RIFUs’ morphological and physico ...
