On the Correlation between National and International Law

The volume contains the revised contributions of a comparative German-Russian law seminar that took place in Kaliningrad from 15 to 19 September 2019 within the framework of the university partnership between the Philipps University Marburg and the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University Kaliningrad. The topic is the relationship between national and international law. In addition to introductory, dogmatic and conceptual foundations, concrete analyses of the relevant case law are presented, namely that of the German Federal Constitutional Court, the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the Court of Justice of the European Union, the European Court of Human Rights, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, and the Court of the Eurasian Economic Union

Vehicle Based Laser Range Finding in Crops

Laser rangefinders and laser scanners are widely used for industrial purposes and for remote sensing. In agriculture information about crop parameters like volume, height, and density can support the optimisation of production processes. In scientific papers the measurement of these parameters by low cost laser rangefinders with one echo has been presented for short ranges. Because the cross section area of the beam increases with the measuring range, it can be expected that laser rangefinders will have a reduced measuring accuracy in small sized crops and when measuring far distances. These problems are caused by target areas smaller than the beam and by the beam striking the edges of crop objects. Lab tests under defined conditions and a real field test were performed to assess the measuring properties under such difficult conditions of a chosen low cost sensor. Based on lab tests it was shown that the accuracy was reduced, but the successful use of the sensor under field conditions demonstrated the potential to meet the demands for agricultural applications, Insights resulting from investigations made in the paper contribute to facilitating the choice or the development of laser rangefinder sensors for vehicle based measurement of crop parameters for optimisation of production processes
