Depending on the Miscanthus genotype, season, and harvest time as well as plant component (leaf versus stem), correlations between structure and properties of the corresponding isolated lignins differ. Here, a comparative study is presented between lignins isolated from M. x giganteus, M. sinensis, M. robustus and M. nagara using a catalyst-free organosolv pulping process. The lignins from different plant constituents are also compared regarding their similarities and differences regarding monolignol ratio and important linkages. Results showed that the plant genotype has the weakest influence on monolignol content and interunit linkages. In contrast, structural differences are more significant among lignins of different harvest time and/or season. Analyses were performed using fast and simple methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Data was assigned to four different linkages (A: β-O-4 linkage, B: phenylcoumaran, C: resinol, D: β-unsaturated ester). In conclusion, A content is particularly high in leaf-derived lignins at just under 70\% and significantly lower in stem and mixture lignins at around 60\% and almost 65\%. The second most common linkage pattern is D in all isolated lignins, the proportion of which is also strongly dependent on the crop portion. Both stem and mixture lignins, have a relatively high share of approximately 20\% or more (maximum is M. sinensis Sin2 with over 30\%). In the leaf-derived lignins, the proportions are significantly lower on average. Stem samples should be chosen if the highest possible lignin content is desired, specifically from the M. x giganteus genotype, which revealed lignin contents up to 27\%. Due to the better frost resistance and higher stem stability, M. nagara offers some advantages compared to M. x giganteus. Miscanthus crops are shown to be very attractive lignocellulose feedstock (LCF) for second generation biorefineries and lignin generation in Europe.}, language = {en} } @article{BergmannDemuthSander2011, author = {Bergmann, Sandra and Demuth, Bastian and Sander, Volker}, title = {A Web Framework for Workflow Submission and Monitoring via UNICORE 6 based on Distributable Scientific Workflow Templates}, series = {UNICORE Summit 2011 : proceedings, 7-8 July 2011, Torun, Poland / Mathilde Romberg ...

Propeller sweep and high aspect ratios increase elasticity and coupling of structural mechanics and aerodynamics, affecting the propeller performance and noise. Therefore, this paper analyzes the influence of elasticity on forward-swept, backward-swept, and unswept propellers in hover conditions. A reduced-order blade element momentum approach is coupled with a one-dimensional Timoshenko beam theory and Farassat's formulation 1A. The results of the aeroelastic simulation are used as input for the aeroacoustic calculation. The analysis shows that elasticity influences noise radiation because thickness and loading noise respond differently to deformations. In the case of the backward-swept propeller, the location of the maximum sound pressure level shifts forward by 0.5 °, while in the case of the forward-swept propeller, it shifts backward by 0.5 °. Therefore, aeroacoustic optimization requires the consideration of propeller deformation.}, language = {en} } @article{BerghoffLanskeSchultzeetal.1988, author = {Berghoff, G. and Lanske, D. and Schultze, K. and Ziemons, Karl}, title = {Jets and QCD-effects in muon-nuclean scattering}, series = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft}, volume = {23}, journal = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft}, number = {5}, isbn = {0420-0195}, year = {1988}, language = {en} } @article{BergPostweilerSteuerDankertLeichtScholten2023, author = {Berg-Postweiler, Julia and Steuer-Dankert, Linda and Leicht-Scholten, Carmen}, title = {One size does not fit all: Applying antibias trainings in academia}, series = {The International Journal of Organizational Diversity}, volume = {24}, journal = {The International Journal of Organizational Diversity}, number = {1}, publisher = {Common Ground Research Networks}, issn = {2328-6261 (Print)}, doi = {10.18848/2328-6261/CGP/v24i01/1-23}, pages = {1 -- 23}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Antibias training is increasingly demanded and practiced in academia and industry to increase employees' sensitivity to discrimination, racism, and diversity. Under the heading of "Diversity Management," antibias trainings are mainly offered as one-off workshops intending to raise awareness of unconscious biases, create a diversity-affirming corporate culture, promote awareness of the potential of diversity, and ultimately enable the reflection of diversity in development processes. However, coming from childhood education, research and scientific articles on the sustainable effectiveness of antibias in adulthood, especially in academia, are very scarce. In order to fill this research gap, the article aims to explore how sustainable the effects of individual antibias trainings on participants' behavior are. In order to investigate this, participant observation in a qualitative pre-post setting was conducted, analyzing antibias training in an academic context. Two observers actively participated in the training sessions and documented the activities and reflection processes of the participants. Overall, the results question the effectiveness of single antibias trainings and show that a target-group adaptive approach is mandatory owing to the background of the approach in early childhood education. Therefore, antibias work needs to be adapted to the target group's needs and realities of life. Furthermore, the study reveals that single antibias trainings must be embedded in a holistic diversity management approach to stimulate sustainable reflection processes among the target group. This article is one of the first to scientifically evaluate antibias training effectiveness, especially in engineering sciences and the university context.}, language = {en} } @article{BergDemarteauHardtetal.1982, author = {Berg, G.

The state of the literature did not permit a systematic review; therefore, we performed a narrative review. The majority of the available data come from cell or whole-disc loading models and animal exercise models. However, some studies have examined the impact of specific sports on IVD degeneration in humans and acute exercise on disc size. Based on the data available in the literature, loading types that are likely beneficial to the IVD are dynamic, axial, at slow to moderate movement speeds, and of a magnitude experienced in walking and jogging. Static loading, torsional loading, flexion with compression, rapid loading, high-impact loading and explosive tasks are likely detrimental for the IVD. Reduced physical activity and disuse appear to be detrimental for the IVD. We also consider the impact of genetics and the likelihood of a 'critical period' for the effect of exercise in IVD development. The current review summarises the literature to increase awareness amongst exercise, rehabilitation and ergonomic professionals regarding IVD health and provides recommendations on future directions in research.}, language = {en} } @article{BehnamBeckerWeber2011, author = {Behnam, S. and Becker, A. and Weber, Hans-Joachim}, title = {Clinical benefit and cost-efficiency of minimized perfusion circuits for extracorporeal circulation during cardiac surgery}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Herz-, Thorax- und Gef{\"a}ßchirurgie}, volume = {25}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Herz-, Thorax- und Gef{\"a}ßchirurgie}, number = {5}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0930-9225}, pages = {305 -- 306}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{BehbahaniWalugaStocketal.2009, author = {Behbahani, Mehdi and Waluga, C. and Stock, S. and Mai, A. and Bergmann, B. and Behr, M. and Tran, L. and Vonderstein, K. and Scheidt, H. and Oedekoven, B. and Mottaghy, K.}, title = {Modelling and Numerical Analysis of Platelet Reactions and Surface Thrombus Growth}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{BehbahaniWalugaArltetal.2008, author = {Behbahani, Mehdi and Waluga, C. and Arlt, S. and Behr, M. and Mottaghy, K.}, title = {Computational Analysis of Platelet Aggregation in a Taylor-Couette System}, series = {The International Journal of Artificial Organs. 31 (2008), H. 7}, journal = {The International Journal of Artificial Organs. 31 (2008), H. 7}, isbn = {0391-3988}, pages = {643}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{BehbahaniTranWalugaetal.2009, author = {Behbahani, Mehdi and Tran, L. and Waluga, C. and Behr, M. and Oedekoven, B. and Mottaghy, K.}, title = {Model-based Numerical Analysis of Platelet Adhesion, Thrombus Growth and Aggregation for Assist Devices}, series = {The International Journal of Artificial Organs. 32 (2009), H. 7}, journal = {The International Journal of Artificial Organs. 32 (2009), H. 7}, isbn = {0391-3988}, pages = {398 -- 398}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{BehbahaniTranJockenhoeveletal.2011, author = {Behbahani, Mehdi and Tran, L. and Jockenh{\"o}vel, S. and Behr, M. and Mottaghy, K.}, title = {Numerical prediction of thrombocyte reactions for application to a vascular flow model}, series = {British Journal of Surgery}, volume = {98}, journal = {British Journal of Surgery}, number = {S5}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, address = {Oxford}, isbn = {1365-2168}, pages = {S17}, year = {2011}, language = {en} }
