Prevalence of gastrointestinal helminth infections in free-range laying hens under mountain farming production conditions
(2017)A cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2015 to July 2016 in South Tyrol, Northern Italy to examine the prevalence of gastrointestinal helminths in free-range laying hens under mountain farming production ... -
Assessing the role of economic actors in the production of private and public goods in three EU agricultural landscapes
(2015)The study analyses the contribution of relevant economic actors to the provision of private and public goods in agricultural landscapes. A method consisting of a multi-sectoral perspective and an integrated approach based ... -
Improving active eigenvector assignment through passive modifications
(IOP Publishing, 2016)Specifications on the dynamic behavior of feedback-controlled vibrating systems are often expressed in terms of its eigenstructure, i.e. eigenvalues and eigenvectors. The notion of controllability establishes the possibility ... -
CO2 laser cutting of hot stamping boron steel sheets
(2017)This study investigates the quality of CO2 laser cutting of hot stamping boron steel sheets that are employed in the fabrication of automotive body-in-white. For this purpose, experimental laser cutting tests were conducted ... -
Goal-recognition-based Adaptive Brain-Computer Interface for Navigating in Immersive Robotic Systems
(2017)Objective. This work proposes principled strategies for self-adaptations in EEG-based Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) as a way out of the bandwidth bottleneck resulting from the considerable mismatch between the low-bandwidth ... -
Industry 4.0 business model innovation for SMEs: Nine-field matrix and morphological analysis for the identification and the design of information-based Industry 4.0 business models for SMEs = Industrie-4.0-Geschäftsmodellinnovation für KMU: Neun-Felder-Matrix und morphologische Analyse zur Ableitung und Gestaltung von informationsbasierten Industrie-4.0-Geschäftsmodellen für KMU
(2017)The fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, is one of the greatest challenges small and medium-sized enterprises are facing today and in the future. Many of them have been market leaders for decades and ... -
Infrared, transient thermal, and electrical properties of silver nanowire thin films for transparent heaters and energy-efficient coatings
(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2017)In this study, we investigate the infrared and electrical properties as well as the thermal response of transparent silver nanowire (AgNW) based thin-film heaters, when subjected to Joule heating. Controlling the number ... -
Quaderni di progettazione – Il dimensionamento dei cuscinetti idrodinamici
(2017)Tradizionalmente i cuscinetti radenti vengono progettati e dimensionati sulla base dell’ approccio proposto da Sommerfeld, ovvero sulla risoluzione analitica delle equazioni di conservazione di massa e quantità di moto ... -
Modelling of Spouted and Spout-Fluid Beds: Key for Their Successful Scale Up
(2017)The development of robust mathematical models could provide the necessary tools for a more rapid, efficient, and reliable spouted bed technology development. Computer simulations can be very useful to aid this design and ... -
State-of-the-Art of Small Scale Biomass Gasifiers in the Region of South Tyrol
(2015)Small scale biomass gasification has been a technological option that has raised a lot of interest during the last years in Europe. Alongside the growth in market share, we also observe new optimized technologies that are ... -
Contact and bending fatigue behaviour of austempered ductile iron gears
(2017)In the present paper a research programme aimed at investigating both the bending and contact fatigue properties of an Austempered Ductile Iron (ADI) applied to gears is presented, in order to determine reliable values of ... -
High resolution mass approach to characterize refrigerated black truffles stored under different storage atmospheres
(2017)Freshly harvested Tuber melanosporum samples were packed and stored at 4 °C under reduced atmospheric pressure or modified atmosphere for four weeks. Multivariate analysis was employed to correlate the antioxidant power ... -
Development of mortality and foot pad health in turkey flocks and its implication for welfare assessment
(2017)In a field trial mortality and foot pad health were monitored and evaluated on turkey farms over one year as part of the general flock management (Andersson and Toppel, 2014). Foot pads were scored in four week intervals ... -
Effects of Metarhizium anisopliae on host choice of the bee-parasitic mite Varroa destructor
(2017)The ectoparasitic mite Varroa destructor poses one of the biggest threats to the western honeybee Apis mellifera. Possibilities to control the mites are limited; therefore, it is important to assess the performance of novel ... -
Nanoimprint methods for the fabrication of macroscopic plasmonically active metal nanostructures
(American Institute of Physics Inc., 2017)In this article, we present a refined nanostructuring method, lift-off nanoimprint lithography (LO-NIL), which allows the deposition of high-quality metal nanostructures due to a bilayer resist process and compare it to ... -
Landwirtschaft im Wandel
(2017)Wie sich die Landwirtschaft in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten in den fünf Regionen entwickelt hat, zeigt eine Master-Arbeit der Universität Bozen. Ein Fazit: Die Zahl der Höfe ist überall stark zurückgegangen, in Südtirol ... -
Human Sit-To-Stand Transfer Modeling towards Intuitive and Biologically-inspired Robot Assistance
(2017)Sit-to-stand (STS) transfers are a common human task which involves complex sensorimotor processes to control the highly nonlinear musculoskeletal system. In this paper, typical unassisted and assisted human STS transfers ... -
Flexible lactate and glucose sensors using electrolyte-gated carbon nanotube field effect transistor for non-invasive real-time monitoring
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017)We demonstrate flexible, low cost glucose and lactate sensors using novel enzyme immobilization scheme, primarily aimed toward wearable devices. The intrinsic chemical nature of polyimide films is harnessed to immobilize ... -
Subcell Characterization in Multijunction Solar Cells Using Pulsed Light
(IEEE Electron Devices Society, 2017)The photocurrent versus open-circuit voltage characteristic of individual subcells in a multijunction solar cell can be measured by illuminating the subcell with a pulse sequence of spatially homogeneous laser light. In ... -
