How do remittances affect inequality and development over time? The case of rural Mexico (Project)
Migration prevalence and the share of remittances in income are increasing in developing countries as they integrate more with the rest of the world. Remittances have the potential to contribute to rural development by relaxing capital constraints that prevent profitable investments. However, this potential may be dampened by inequality, if remittances are disproportionally received by those who...

Gross ammonification, gross nitrification and N net mineralization in temperate forest soils at low temperatures (Project)
The temperature dependency of N turnover at low soil temperatures is poorly known. In the past, N mineralization in temperate forest soils at low soil temperatures in the dormant season was often considered negligible, which is questioned by recent findings. Here, we will study rates of in situ N net mineralization throughout a full year in a beech and a spruce forest ecosystem to quantify the...

Global distribution of deltaD values in C-bonded hydrogen of soil organic matter (Project)
Stable isotope ratios of various elements including H ((D), C, N, and S have been related to origin and turnover of soil organic matter (OM), because incomplete (bio)chemical reactions fractionate stable isotopes. On a global scale, the (D values in precipitation are related to the number of rain events that water vapor undergoes on its way to the poles, across mountains or towards inland because...

Production of pigs with a genetic predisposition for pancreatic cancer (Project)
Human pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a very serious disease. Five-year survival isbelow 1% and has not improved in recent decades. This is due to the aggressive nature of thecancer, the lack of early diagnosis and insufficient treatment options. Oncogenic activationmutations in Kras, found in >90% of human PDA, are believed to initiate formation ofpancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN),...

Development of energy-efficient systems for high-quality fruit drying (Project)
A considerable part of the fruit harvest in Northern Thailand is dried in small scale food processing industries for preservation and post-harvest value-addition. However, energy consumption is high and product quality is heterogeneous. Objective of the transfer project is to improve drying facilities jointly with a manufacturer by using the simulation tools developed in subproject E1 of SFB 564....

Development of automated control systems for water saving irrigation of fruit orchards (Project)
In the transfer project, based on eight years research in the SFB 564 (The Uplands Program) two sensor operated irrigation control units will be jointly developed with manufacturers, which will enable farmers in different agro-physical and socio-economic environments to optimize water use. The tensiometer-based irrigation control will be adapted to the uplands farmers’ needs and will take into...
