Collaborative project: Field study on vaccination against boar taint. Scientific monitoring of the 100,000 boar project to evaluate immunocastration as an alternative to non-anaesthetic piglet castration (Project)
...The focus of the investigations is on two essential aspects: (1) Evaluation of the meat of vaccinated animals as a basis for quality-based payment. ...For this reason, the carcass composition is determined in a dissection trial, and the Autofom estimation results are checked for suspected biases. (2) Variation of important parameters of the supply chain during routine use of Improvac. ...For this purpose, first, the associated partner companies Ponnath, Kemper and Kaufland Fleischwaren will test internally the processing of meat from animals treated with Improvac, which originate from the data pool of AP.2. Independent sensory tests will then be carried out to prove that the meat of immunocastrates can be processed without restrictions (i.e. without disadvantages for consumer acceptance)....

A novel approach to investigate effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on ecosystem productivity and greenhouse gas exchange (Project)
...Despite comprehensive investigations in the field of C and N cycling, there is still little knowledge about direct implications of alterations in N deposition on ecosystem productivity and GHG exchange, which can at least partly be attributed to the lack of comprehensive reactive N measurements with high temporal resolution. ...Outcomes of the project are also expected to (i) further develop research infrastructures such as ICOS through instrumental and analytical improvements, (ii) increase the potential of global data assimilation networks such as FLUXNET, (iii) providing a better data basis for (re-)formulating Nr emission factors and climate protection regulations, and (iv) enhance the understanding of C and N cycling in both natural and managed ecosystems. The group NITROSPHERE will consist of 3 researchers, i.e. two PhD students beside the group leader, and a technician to support all field- and lab-related work. ...

Field-based innovative measurment techniques for improving the drought tolerance of biogas rye (Project)
...The project especially contributes to the the main target 2 ('developing the potential of renewable resources') of the research plan of the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Consumer Protection (BMELV). Because renewable energy sources are largely CO2-neutral and represent an alternative source of income for people in rural areas, the project also contributes towards the BMELV main target 3 ('Perspektives for rural areas') and main target 4 ('Climate protection and adaptation to climate change'). ...Useful measurement data can be only obtained on days with clear skies (global radiation >700 W/m2), high air temperatures (>20 °C) and low wind speed (...

AVATAR: Advancing Virtual Aptitude through TActo-cognitive Response systems, subproject 3: Implementing a digital coach prototype and assessing its potential (Project)
...A machine equipped with the required hard and software for the digital coach as developed in former workpackages 2 and 3, will be run by operators of different professional level within standard cut-to-length operations under representative conditions for Scandinavian and Central European forests. Through operational monitoring and work study approaches, such as time and motion studies and stress level strain observations (e.g. heart rate frequency measurements), efficiency increase potential through the digital coach, but also the mental effect on the operator is quantified....

Analysis of human samples on the presence and distribution of tattoo inks: Focus on allergens (Project)
...All samples will be subsequently analyzed by Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS) to identify pigments used for tattooing and potential degradation products deriving from laser treatment. ...All samples will be subsequently analyzed by Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (ToF-SIMS). The intended work will deliver information for the planning of further studies on biokinetics. For the qualitative analysis of pigments in skin and lymph nodes, Laser-Desorption/Ionisation with Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (LDI-ToF-MS) will be carried out. The elemental content will be quantified using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). ...

Increasing yields of lignocellulosic permanent crops by and for biochar (Project)
...Especially marginal sites can benefit from the resulting soil amelioration. In Dauerco@l, we investigate how fast-growing, lignocellulosic permanent crops (poplar short-rotation coppice) on very sandy and clayey soils can benefit from biochar application. ...The expected change in pore size distribution and the improvement in soil structure resulting from the application of biochar can be expected to have a positive effect on the water and nutrient balance and thus on yield. Dauerco@l focuses explicitly on the melioration effect for fast-growing poplar short-rotation coppice and examines economic issues and the climate impact of an agroforestry system optimised by biochar. Dauerco@l will provide differentiated answers to the following research questions: Can the application of biochar achieve effective melioration effects on sandy and clayey marginal sites, leading to a long-term yield effect when growing poplars in short rotation? ...
