Baustellenmanagement-Konzept „Feste Warnowquerung Rostock“

In Erstanwendung des Fernstraßenbauprivatfinanzierungsgesetzes wurde der Konzessionär in einer frühen Projektphase noch vor der Planfeststellung beauftragt. Nur hierdurch war es möglich, ein umfassendes, speziell auf die Technologie eines Ausführungsbetriebes zugeschnittenes Baustellenmanagement-Konzept als Basis für die Planfeststellung zu erarbeiten. Vorstellung des Vorhabens, Baumanagement-Konzept: Grobbauablaufplanung, Baustelleneinrichtung, Arbeitskräfteeinsatz, Bodenmanagement, Hauptbaustoffversorgung und Erdstofftransporte im öffentlichen Bauraum, Verkehrsumleitungskonzeption für den öffentlichen Verkehr entsprechend den Bauphasen

Regional application of a fish yield estimation procedure to lakes in north-east Germany

AbstractPrimary production and total phosphorus, respectively, have recently been used as the main variables to estimate the fish yield potential of lakes. In order to improve the accuracy of the estimation procedure for regional applications, two major adaptations were implemented. Both the relations between total phosphorus and primary production as well as primary production and corresponding fish yield potential were adjusted to specific regional conditions in north-east Germany and production patterns in shallow lakes, respectively. Applied to 786 lakes, the adapted procedure led to estimated fish yield potentials in the range of 8 … 67 kg/ha · a with shallow lakes showing significantly higher potentials than stratified ones. A comparison of estimated yield potentials with current yield statistics revealed an improved conformity of estimates attained by using the adapted procedure

The German National TBI-Registry: conception, implementation and first results

Objective: Nationwide data on the epidemiology, treatment characteristics, and long-term outcome of severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) in Germany is not yet existing. Neurosurgeons from the German Neurosurgery Society (DGNC) and traumatologists from the German Trauma Society (DGU), therefore, joined forces in 2016 to conceptualize a TBI module for the well-established Trauma Register of the DGU (TR-DGU). Here, we report how this “German National TBI registry (GNTR)” has been developed, implemented, and tested in a recently completed pilot period. Methods: The conception and implementation process of the GNTR from August 2016 to February 2019 is described, and results of its 23-months long pilot period from February 2019 to December 2020 are presented. For the pilot period, TBI patients were prospectively enrolled at nine neurosurgical and traumatological hospitals across Germany. Inclusion criteria were treatment on the ICU ≥ 24h, or an ISS score ≥ 16. A variety of clinical, imaging, and laboratory parameters were collected, and the GOSE score was used to assess the outcome at discharge and 6- and 12 months follow-up. Results: Details on the structure and dataset of the GNTR as well as milestones and pitfalls during its conception and implementation, are outlined. During the pilot period, a total of 264 TBI patients were enrolled. Their demographic characteristics, clinical, imaging, and radiological findings, and their early mortality and functional outcome are described. Furthermore, factors associated with an unfavorable outcome (GOSE 1-4) are assessed using uni- and multivariate regression analyses. Finally, problems and future directions of the GNTR are discussed. Conclusion: The pilot period of the GNTR offers a first glance at the current epidemiology and treatment characteristics of TBI patients in Germany. More importantly, they show how a national TBI registry yielding high-quality prospective data can be developed, implemented, and tested within four year

A new magnetostratigraphic framework for the Lower Miocene (Burdigalian/Ottnangian, Karpatian) in the North Alpine Foreland Basin

Oligocene–Miocene chronostratigraphic correlations within the Paratethys domain are still highly controversial. This study focuses on the late Early Miocene of the Swiss and S-German Molasse Basin (Late Burdigalian, Ottnangian–Karpatian). Previous studies have published different chronologies for this time interval that is represented by the biostratigraphically well constrained Upper Marine Molasse (OMM, lower and middle Ottnangian), Upper Brackish Molasse (OBM, Grimmelfingen and Kirchberg Formations, middle and upper Ottnangian to lower Karpatian, MN 4a–MN 4b) and Upper Freshwater Molasse (OSM, Karpatian–Badenian, MN 5). Here, we suggest a new chronostratigraphic framework, based on integrated magneto-litho-biostratigraphic studies on four sections and three boreholes. Our data indicate that the OBM comprises chrons 5D.1r and 5Dn (Grimmelfingen Fm), chron 5Cr (lower Kirchberg Fm) and the oldest part of chron 5Cn.3n (upper Kirchberg Fm). The OSM begins during chron 5Cn.3n, continues through 5Cn, and includes a long reversed segment that can be correlated to chron 5Br. The OMM-OSM transition was completed at 16.0 Ma in the Swiss Molasse Basin, while the OBM-OSM changeover ended at 16.6 Ma in the S-German Molasse Basin. As the lower Kirchberg Fm represents a facies of the Ottnangian, our data suggest that the Ottnangian–Karpatian boundary in the Molasse Basin is approximately at 16.8 Ma, close to the 5Cr–5Cn.3n magnetic reversal, and thus 0.4 Myr younger than the inferred age of 17.2 Ma used in recent Paratethys time scales. Notably, this would not be problematic for the Paratethys stratigraphy, because chron 5Cr is mainly represented by a sedimentation gap in the Central Paratethys. We also realise, however, that additional data is still required to definitely solve the age debate concerning this intriguing time interval in the North Alpine Foreland Basin. We dedicate this work to our dear friend and colleague Jean-Pierre Berger (8 July 1956–18 January 2012)
