The lack of rainfall during spring was worsened by a succession of heat waves during the summer. To address this drought, innovative solutions, including the use of new technologies such as hydrogels, will be essential to transform agriculture. This paper presents the findings of a study that evaluated the impact of hydrogel application on onion (Allium cepa) cultivation in Meknes, Morocco. The treatments investigated in this study comprised two different types of hydrogel-based soil additives (Arbovit® polyacrylate and Huminsorb® polyacrylate), applied at two rates (30 and 20 kg/ha), and irrigated at two levels of water supply (100\% and 50\% of daily crop evapotranspiration; ETc). Two control treatments were included, without hydrogel application and with both water amounts. The experiment was conducted in an open field using a completely randomized design. The results indicated a significant impact of both hydrogel-type dose and water dose on onion plant growth, as evidenced by various vegetation parameters. Among the hydrogels tested, Huminsorb® Polyacrylate produced the most favorable outcomes, with treatment T9 (100\%, HP, 30 kg/ha) yielding 70.55 t/ha; this represented an increase of 11 t/ha as compared to the 100\% ETc treatment without hydrogel application. Moreover, the combination of hydrogel application with 50\% ETc water stress showed promising results, with treatment T4 (HP, 30 kg, 50\%) producing almost the same yield as the 100\% ETc treatment without hydrogel while saving 208 mm of water.}, language = {en} } @article{ViethEisenbeiss2011, author = {Vieth, Matthias and Eisenbeiß, Maik}, title = {Die Geld-zur{\"u}ck-Garantie - Mehr als nur ein Qualit{\"a}tsindikator?}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Betriebswirtschaft}, volume = {81}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Betriebswirtschaft}, number = {12}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, doi = {10.1007/s11573-011-0521-4}, pages = {1285 -- 1323}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Geld-zur{\"u}ck-Garantien erlangen in der Unternehmenspraxis eine immer gr{\"o}ßere Bedeutung, vor allem weil sie als probates Mittel zur Signalisierung hochwertiger Qualit{\"a}t angesehen werden - eine Annahme, die bislang wissenschaftlich ungepr{\"u}ft geblieben ist. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird im vorliegenden Beitrag eine umfassende empirische Untersuchung der kaufverhaltensrelevanten Wirkungen dieses Marketinginstrumentes vorgenommen.

Additive manufacturing using Fused Filament Fabrication and high-performance polymers like PEEK offer a promising future in this industry. This study assesses the compressive strength of various infill structures (honeycomb, grid, triangle, cubic, and gyroid) when considering two distinct build directions (Z, XY) to enhance PEEK's economic and resource efficiency in rapid tooling. A comparison with PETG samples shows the behavior of the infill strategies. Additionally, a proof of concept illustrates the application of a PEEK mold in vulcanization. A peak compressive strength of 135.6 MPa was attained in specimens that were 100\% solid and subjected to thermal post-treatment. This corresponds to a 20\% strength improvement in the Z direction. In terms of time and mechanical properties, the anisotropic grid and isotropic cubic infill have emerged for use in rapid tooling. Furthermore, the study highlights that reducing the layer thickness from 0.15 mm to 0.1 mm can result in a 15\% strength increase. The study unveils the successful utilization of a room-temperature FFF-printed PEEK mold in vulcanization injection molding. The parameters and infill strategies identified in this research enable the resource-efficient FFF printing of PEEK without compromising its strength properties. Using PEEK in rapid tooling allows a cost reduction of up to 70\% in tool production.}, language = {en} } @article{SchoeningBronderWuetal.2017, author = {Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Bronder, Thomas and Wu, Chunsheng and Scheja, Sabrina and Jessing, Max and Metzger-Boddien, Christoph and Keusgen, Michael and Poghossian, Arshak}, title = {Label-Free DNA Detection with Capacitive Field-Effect Devices—Challenges and Opportunities}, series = {Proceedings}, volume = {1}, journal = {Proceedings}, number = {8}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2504-3900}, doi = {10.3390/proceedings1080719}, pages = {Artikel 719}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Field-effect EIS (electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor) sensors modified with a positively charged weak polyelectrolyte layer have been applied for the electrical detection of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) immobilization and hybridization by the intrinsic molecular charge.

It is seen that a new resampling approach is appropriate for the approximation of the unknown null distribution. We prove that the resulting test asymptotically reaches the significance level and is consistent. Properties of the test under local alternatives are pointed out as well.
