Identifizierung von ökol. u. konv. Anbauvarianten bei DOK-Weizen mittels Fluoreszenz-Anregungs-Spektroskopie
At coded samples of wheat out of the DOK-trial of FiBL (Switzerland) it was possible to identify the organic and conventional grown variants. The method used was fluorescence-excitation-spectroscopy of whole samples. It was also possible to show differences between biodynamic and organic variants
Die Bestimmung des Physiologischen Aminosäurenstatus von Möhren und Weizen zur Unterscheidung ökol. und konv. Anbauvarianten
A procedure for the differentiation and identification of organic versus conventional grown crop is described. The validated (ISO 17025) procedure is based on the precise Determination of the N-Metabolom of the cultivated plant. With this procedure it was possible to distinguish organically from conventionally grown crops

Bubble Shape Oscillations and the Onset of Sonoluminescence
An air bubble trapped in water by an oscillating acoustic field undergoes
either radial or nonspherical pulsations depending on the strength of the
forcing pressure. Two different instability mechanisms (the Rayleigh--Taylor
instability and parametric instability) cause deviations from sphericity.
Distinguishing these mechanisms allows explanation of many features of recent
experiments on sonoluminescence, and suggests methods for finding
sonoluminescence in different parameter regimes.Comment: Phys. Rev. Lett., in pres
A Technological Scenario for a Healthier, More Equitable and Sustainable Europe in 2040: Citizen Perceptions and Policy Implications
This is the final version. Available from MDPI via the DOI in this record.This article aims at exploring, understanding and comparing European citizens’ insights and perceptions towards “My life between realities”, a positive future scenario which depicts a narrative of reaching healthier, more equitable and sustainable societies by 2040 with the support of technology and technological solutions. It responds to the need for gathering and incorporating more citizen insights into future policy developments and strategic actions to tackle the global challenge of unsustainable development. Citizens of five European countries—the Czech Republic, Germany, North Macedonia, Spain and the United Kingdom—have been consulted through focus groups. The exercise has uncovered citizens’ preferences and attitudes towards four main lifestyle areas; namely, green spaces, energy efficient housing, active mobility and (food) consumption. The technological attributes of the scenario led to citizens expressing diametrically opposed and critical perceptions and attitudes. Given the prospects of technology in driving sustainable development, based on these insights, policy recommendations for the better integration and acceptance of technological advances by the public are discussed herein.European Commissio

Identification and geographical distribution of pyrethroid resistance mutations in the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae
The poultry red mite (PRM) Dermanyssus gallinae is the most common ectoparasite on poultry and causes high economic losses in poultry farming worldwide. Pyrethroid acaricides have been widely used for its control and, consequently, pyrethroid resistance has arisen. In this study we aim to investigate the occurrence of resistance and study the geographical distribution of pyrethroid resistance mutations across PRM populations in Europe
