Durch die Bohrung eines Sondierstollens während der Planung eines Pumpspeicherkraftwerks im Südschwarzwald kam es zu einem starken Bergwassereinfall, infolgedessen umliegende Quellen trocken fielen. Die Quellen des Quellkomplexes „Möslequellen“ sprangen nach fast einem Jahr im Frühjahr 2012 wieder an. In dieser Studie wurde die Wiederbesiedlung dieser Quellen über drei Jahre verfolgt. Es zeigte sich, dass sich die Quellfauna rasch wieder erholte und viele krenobionte Taxa die Quellen wieder besiedelten....
Camelidae is a family of Artiodactyla which includes a depleted diversity of extant species, divided into two tribes: the Camelini consist of two domestic species (Bactrian camel, Camelus bactrianus, and dromedary, C. dromedarius; the former is also represented by a wild subspecies, C. bactrianus ferus), and the Lamini consist of two domestic (Lama glama and Vicugna pacos) and two wild species (Lama guanicoe and Vicugna vicugna). The natural distribution of Camelini is in Eurasia and Africa, while...
remittances and the return of migrants with new skills can offset the loss of migrants and may even lead to a brain-gain. Metka Hercog and Melissa Siegel discuss policy approaches designed to stimulate the return of highly skilled migrants. They debunk the myth that restrictive measures, such as limiting options for longer migration from developing countries, are an effective tool to avert brain drain and encourage migrants’ return or other engagement in development activities in the country of origin....
Introduction and Aim: Contemporary psychopathology has adopted various approaches to establishment of validity, such as content, criteria, convergent, divergent etc. validity and respective validation procedures. However regardless to the progress of neuroscience it has not been incorporated yet in psychiatric diagnosis as a possible source of external validity. In this paper we aim at defining the construct of translational validity which may eventually bridge the two fields of inquiry separated...
We exposed species-rich temperate calcareous grassland to elevated CO2 (600 muL/L) for six growing seasons and studied carbon (C) and nutrient (nitrogen [N] and phosphorus [PI) cycling, water relations, and plant community structure and diversity. CO2, enrichment stimulated leaf- and ecosystem-level daytime CO2 uptake and increased plant community productivity; relative CO2 effects on aboveground biomass were predicted with r > -0.98 (r(2) > 0.95) by precipitation prior to biomass harvests....
Atmospheric CO2 enrichment may stimulate plant growth directly through enhanced photosynthesis or indirectly, through reduced plant water consumption and hence slower soil moisture depletion, or the combination of both. Herein we describe gas exchange, plant biomass and species responses of five native or semi-native temperate and Mediterranean grasslands and three semi-arid systems to CO2 enrichment, with an emphasis on water relations. Increasing CO2 led to decreased leaf conductance for water...
This thesis contains the examination of four, in first glance, unrelated topics. However, the overarching motivation behind these subjects are the same: The Art and Challenge of Organic Chemistry. I. The first chapter deals with the design, based on theoretical principles, and preparation of unsaturated spirocyclic compounds bearing sulfur functionalities with the aim of elucidating the charge-transport properties of such molecules on the level of single molecules. In collaboration with the Group...
In their introduction to Aesthetics in the 21 st Century, a special issue of Speculations, Askin, Hägler, and Schweighauser argued that the recent speculative turn in continental philosophy is but 'German Idealism redux' (38). Graham Harman rejected this idea in a recent interview, at least with respect to his own project, and suggested that the speculative turn owed much to Romanticism instead. If one follows Frederick Beiser's account of Romanticism as a particular variant of German Idealism, however,...
Intervento alla tavola rotonda Italianistica: quo vadis? Futuro e prospettive dell'insegnamento dell'italiano a livello universitario , tenutasi a Berna, a Palazzo Federale, il 7 marzo 2017 durante la Sessione primaverile dell'intergruppo parlamentare Italianità (pubblicato qui nelle tre lingue ufficiali). L'intervento si concentra sulla funzione delle cattedre di italianistica in Svizzera, mostrando come queste abbiano un'insostituibile funzione di produzione e diffusione della cultura in lingua...
