    Problematik der Pflanzgutproduktion für den ökologischen Weinbau

    Get PDF
    Derzeit sind auf dem Markt keine Pflanzreben aus ökologischer Anzucht zu erhalten, dies wird sich auch in naher Zukunft nicht ändern. Die Ursachen dafür sind zum einen die Erzeugungsvorschriften der EU Öko-Verordnung Art. 6, 6a, die für eine Anerkennung als ökologisches Pflanzmaterial zwei Wachstumsperioden nach ökologischen Richtlinien vorschreiben, zum anderen die derzeit gebräuchliche Aufzuchtmethodik

    Experimental investigation of a cascaded organic Rankine cycle plant for the utilization of waste heat at high and low temperature levels

    A power plant with two cascaded organic Rankine cycles (CORC) to exploit waste heat from a 800 kWe combined heat and power plant, fueled by biogas, is designed and tested. Heat from the exhaust gas is utilized with a high temperature organic Rankine cycle (HT-ORC), where toluene is employed as a working fluid. The heat discharged from the HT-ORC as well as heat from the engine coolant and additional heat from the exhaust gas is supplied to a low temperature ORC (LT-ORC) with the working fluid Solkatherm SES36. The design of the CORC and the selection of working fluids is presented, aiming at a maximum plant efficiency, but also complying with environmental, safety and practical issues. Furthermore, plant components and construction details are described. After manufacturing, initial tests are carried out, obtaining thermodynamic conditions that are close to the design of the HT-ORC, where a maximum electrical turbo-generator output of 17.5 kW is measured. The cascading of the low temperature heat sources and the transfer to the LT-ORC is shown as well as the basic operation of the LT-ORC. However, several problems occurred, such as a turbo-generator damage in the HT-ORC, a too high condensation pressure and a low working fluid mass flow rate in the LT-ORC, which are discussed together with proposed optimization measures

    The Quantum Entropy Cone near its Apex

    Relations among von Neumann entropies of different parts of an NN-partite quantum system have direct impact on our understanding of diverse situations ranging from spin systems to quantum coding theory and black holes. Best formulated in terms of the set ΣN\Sigma^*_N of possible vectors comprising the entropies of the whole and its parts, the famous strong subaddivity inequality constrains its closure ΣN\overline\Sigma^*_N, which is a convex cone. Further homogeneous constrained inequalities are also known. In this work we provide (non-homogeneous) inequalities that constrain ΣN\Sigma_N^* near the apex (the vector of zero entropies) of ΣN\overline\Sigma^*_N, in particular showing that ΣN\Sigma_N^* is not a cone for N3N\geq 3. Our inequalities apply to vectors with certain entropy constraints saturated and, in particular, they show that while it is always possible to up-scale an entropy vector to arbitrary integer multiples it is not always possible to down-scale it to arbitrarily small size, thus answering a question posed by A. Winter. Relations of our work to topological materials, entanglement theory, and quantum cryptography are discussed.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure

    Transition from van-der-Waals to H Bonds dominated Interaction in n-Propanol physisorbed on Graphite

    Full text link
    Multilayer sorption isotherms of 1-propanol on graphite have been measured by means of high-resolution ellipsometry within the liquid regime of the adsorbed film for temperatures ranging from 180 to 260 K. In the first three monolayers the molecules are oriented parallel to the substrate and the growth is roughly consistent with the Frenkel-Halsey-Hill-model (FHH) that is obeyed in van-der-Waals systems on strong substrates. The condensation of the fourth and higher layers is delayed with respect to the FHH-model. The fourth layer is actually a bilayer. Furthermore there is indication of a wetting transition. The results are interpreted in terms of hydrogen-bridge bonding within and between the layers.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

    Chatbot Introduction and Operation in Enterprises – A Design Science Research-based Structured Procedure Model for Chatbot Projects

    Get PDF
    Chatbot research has become an emerging research area. Researchers survey the technology behind and the whole ecosystem from different perspectives, e.g., human-computer interaction, design research, or anthropomorphism. To foster the transfer from research to practice, a comprehensive structured procedure model is missing yet. Due to this, the transfer of the research results into real-world settings in enterprises is often complicated. Hereto, we propose a comprehensive structured procedure model to guide practitioners in chatbot projects based on a Design Science Research study. In doing so, necessary project steps are pointed out and corresponding research results are highlighted to make them reusable for practice in a targeted manner. Thus, we provide structured support for chatbot projects in enterprises
