Machbarkeitsstudie für Service Vermittlungsplattform "PiArch" : Service-Plattform für revisionssichere Langzeit-Archivierung

In der von der Firma bfa ltd. und KTI finanzierten Machbarkeitsstudie wurde untersucht, wie die technische Realisation einer Service-Vermittlungsplattform (PiArch) möglich ist. Bfa möchte mit PiArch eine Service-Plattform anbieten, welche die Funktion eines Brokers übernimmt. Dieser soll den Kunden unterschiedliche Speicher- und Business-Intelligence Anbieter vermitteln und deren Service transparent integrieren. PiArch Service ist demzufolge ein Metaservice, also ein Service der einen Service anbietet. In der Studie wurde mit Hilfe von Business Use Cases die Prozesse definiert und analysiert. Basierend darauf wurde ein Architektur-Entwurf erstellt und einige kritische Punkte im Sinne eines "Proof-of-Concept" auf ihre Machbarkeit geprüft und experimentell implementiert. Zusätzlich zur Implementations-Empfehlung wurden ein Sicherheits- und ein Metadaten-Konzept erarbeitet

ARDD 2020: from aging mechanisms to interventions

Aging is emerging as a druggable target with growing interest from academia, industry and investors. New technologies such as artificial intelligence and advanced screening techniques, as well as a strong influence from the industry sector may lead to novel discoveries to treat age-related diseases. The present review summarizes presentations from the 7th Annual Aging Research and Drug Discovery (ARDD) meeting, held online on the 1st to 4th of September 2020. The meeting covered topics related to new methodologies to study aging, knowledge about basic mechanisms of longevity, latest interventional strategies to target the aging process as well as discussions about the impact of aging research on society and economy. More than 2000 participants and 65 speakers joined the meeting and we already look forward to an even larger meeting next year. Please mark your calendars for the 8th ARDD meeting that is scheduled for the 31st of August to 3rd of September, 2021, at Columbia University, USA

Species-specific and generic biomass equations for seedlings and saplings of European tree species

Biomass equations are a helpful tool to estimate the tree and stand biomass production and standing stock. Such estimations are of great interest for science but also of great importance for global reports on the carbon cycle and the global climate system. Even though there are various collections and generic meta-analyses available with biomass equations for mature trees, reports on biomass equations for juvenile trees (seedlings and saplings) are mainly missing. Against the background of an increasing amount of reforestation and afforestation projects and forests in young successional stages, such equations are required. In this study we have collected data from various studies on the aboveground woody biomass of 19 common tree species growing in Europe. The aim of this paper was to calculate species-specific biomass equations for the aboveground woody biomass of single trees in dependence of root-collar-diameter (RCD), height (H) and the combination of the two (RCD2 H). Next to calculating species-specific biomass equations for the species available in the dataset, we also calculated generic biomass equations for all broadleaved species and all conifer species. The biomass equations should be a contribution to the pool of published biomass equations, whereas the novelty is here that the equations were exclusively derived for young trees
