Among other things, tree species with the ability to cope with more extreme climate conditions have to be identified. However, while environmental factors may severely limit tree growth or even cause tree death, assessing a tree species' potential for surviving future aggravated environmental conditions is rather demanding. The aim of this study was to find a tree-ring-based method suitable for identifying very drought-tolerant species, particularly potential substitute species for Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) in Valais. In this inner-Alpine valley, Scots pine used to be the dominating species for dry forests, but today it suffers from high drought-induced mortality. We investigate the growth response of two native tree species, Scots pine and European larch (Larix decidua Mill.), and two non-native species, black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) and Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii Mirb. var. menziesii), to drought. This involved analysing how the radial increment of these species responded to increasing water shortage (abandonment of irrigation) and to increasingly frequent drought years. Black pine and Douglas fir are able to cope with drought better than Scots pine and larch, as they show relatively high radial growth even after irrigation has been stopped and a plastic growth response to drought years. European larch does not seem to be able to cope with these dry conditions as it lacks the ability to recover from drought years. The analysis of trees' short-term response to extreme climate events seems to be the most promising and suitable method for detecting how tolerant a tree species is towards drought. However, combining all the methods used in this study provides a complete picture of how water shortage could limit species.}, language = {en} } @article{EilmannSterckWegneretal.2014, author = {Eilmann, Britta and Sterck, Frank J. and Wegner, L. and de Vries, Sven M.

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} } @inproceedings{ElMoussaouiKassmiAlexopoulosetal.2021, author = {El Moussaoui, Noureddine and Kassmi, Khalil and Alexopoulos, Spiros and Schwarzer, Klemens and Chayeb, Hamid and Bachiri, Najib}, title = {Simulation studies on a new innovative design of a hybrid solar distiller MSDH alimented with a thermal and photovoltaic energy}, series = {Materialstoday: Proceedings}, booktitle = {Materialstoday: Proceedings}, issn = {2214-7853}, doi = {10.1016/j.matpr.2021.03.115}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{ElMoussaouiTalbiAtmaneetal.2020, author = {El Moussaoui, Noureddine and Talbi, Sofian and Atmane, Ilyas and Kassmi, Khalil and Schwarzer, Klemens and Chayeb, Hamid and Bachiri, Najib}, title = {Feasibility of a new design of a Parabolic Trough Solar Thermal Cooker (PSTC)}, series = {Solar Energy}, volume = {201}, journal = {Solar Energy}, number = {Vol. 201 (May 2020)}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0038-092X}, doi = {10.1016/j.solener.2020.03.079}, pages = {866 -- 871}, year = {2020}, abstract = {In this article, we describe the structure, the functioning, and the tests of parabolic trough solar thermal cooker (PSTC). This oven is designed to meet the needs of rural residents, including Urban, which requires stable cooking temperatures above 200 °C. The cooking by this cooker is based on the concentration of the sun's rays on a glass vacuum tube and heating of the oil circulate in a big tube, located inside the glass tube. Through two small tubes, associated with large tube, the heated oil, rise and heats the pot of cooking pot containing the food to be cooked (capacity of 5 kg). This cooker is designed in Germany and extensively tested in Morocco for use by the inhabitants who use wood from forests. During a sunny day, having a maximum solar radiation around 720 W/m2 and temperature ambient around 26 °C, maximum temperatures recorded of the small tube, the large tube and the center of the pot are respectively: 370 °C, 270 °C and 260 °C. The cooking process with food at high (fries, ..), we show that the cooking oil temperature rises to 200 °C, after 1 h of heating, the cooking is done at a temperature of 120 °C for 20 min. These temperatures are practically stable following variations and decreases in the intensity of irradiance during the day. The comparison of these results with those of the literature shows an improvement of 30-50 \% on the maximum value of the temperature with a heat storage that could reach 60 min of autonomy. All the results obtained show the good functioning of the PSTC and the feasibility of cooking food at high temperature (>200 °C).}, language = {en} } @article{ElQuardiStreckertBitzetal.2011, author = {El Quardi, A. and Streckert, J. and Bitz, Andreas and M{\"u}nkner, S. and Engel, J. and Hansen, V.}, title = {New fin-line devices for radiofrequency exposure of small biological samples in vitro allowing whole-cell patch clamp recordings}, series = {Bioelectromagnetics}, volume = {32}, journal = {Bioelectromagnetics}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1521-186X}, doi = {10.1002/bem.20621}, pages = {102 -- 112}, year = {2011}, abstract = {The development and analysis of three waveguides for the exposure of small biological in vitro samples to mobile communication signals at 900 MHz (GSM, Global System for Mobile Communications), 1.8 GHz (GSM), and 2 GHz (UMTS, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) is presented. The waveguides were based on a fin-line concept and the chamber containing the samples bathed in extracellular solution was placed onto two fins with a slot in between, where the exposure field concentrates. Measures were taken to allow for patch clamp recordings during radiofrequency (RF) exposure. The necessary power for the achievement of the maximum desired specific absorption rate (SAR) of 20 W/kg (average over the mass of the solution) was approximately Pin = 50 mW, Pin = 19 mW, and Pin = 18 mW for the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 2 GHz devices, respectively. At 20 W/kg, a slight RF-induced temperature elevation in the solution of no more than 0.3 °C was detected, while no thermal offsets due to the electromagnetic exposure could be detected at the lower SAR settings (2, 0.2, and 0.02 W/kg). A deviation of 10\% from the intended solution volume yielded a calculated SAR deviation of 8\% from the desired value. A maximum ±10\% variation in the local SAR could occur when the position of the patch clamp electrode was altered within the area where the cells to be investigated were located.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ElDeibChudobaButenwegetal.2002, author = {El-Deib, Khaled and Chudoba, Rostislav and Butenweg, Christoph and Meskouris, Konstantin and K{\"o}nke, Carsten and Bettzieche, Volker}, title = {Safety assessment of rockfill and masonry dams}, series = {Structural dynamics - EURODYN 2002 : proceedings of the 4th [i.e. 5th] International Conference on Structural Dynamics, Munich, Germany, 2 - 5 September 2002 / ed. by H.
