The Formable Object: A 24-Degree-of-Freedom Shape Rendering Interface
(2015)Interacting with 3-D-shaped objects using bare hands represents a very intuitive way to explore object shapes and offers lots of new opportunities in the field of virtual reality and design. Only a few 3-D shape rendering ... -
Dynamics of large wood during a flash flood in two mountain catchments
(European Geosciences Union (EGU) / Copernicus Publications, 2015)Understanding and modelling the dynamics of large wood (LW) in rivers during flood events has spurred a great deal of research in recent years. However, few studies have documented the effect of high-magnitude flash floods ... -
Monitoring of the energy performance of a district heating CHP plant based on biomass boiler and ORC generator
(Elsevier, 2015)More than seventy district heating (DH) plants based on biomass are operating in South Tyrol (Italy) and most of them supply heat to residential districts. Almost 20% of them are cogenerative systems, thus enabling primary ... -
Variation of agronomic and qualitative traits and local adaptation of mountain landraces of winter rye (Secale cereale L.) from Val Venosta/Vinschgau (South Tyrol)
(Springer Verlag (Germany), 2015)Abstract Landraces are thought to be well adapted to the environmental conditions of the region where they have evolved and to be highly tolerant to biotic and abiotic stress. There is indeed experimental evidence of that ... -
Comparison of Rock Varnish Bacterial Communities with Surrounding Non-Varnished Rock Surfaces: Taxon-Specific Analysis and Morphological Description
(Springer Verlag (Germany), 2015)Rock varnish is a thin layer of Fe and Mn oxyhydroxides with embedded clay minerals that contain an increased Mn/Fe ratio compared to that of the Earth's crust. Even if the study of rock varnish has important implications ... -
Enzymatic synthesis of nucleobase-modified UDP-sugars: scope and limitations
(2015)Glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase in conjunction with UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase was found to catalyse the conversion of a range of 5-substituted UTP derivatives into the corresponding UDP-galactose derivatives ... -
Grazing behaviour and dry matter intake of llamas (Lama glama) and German blackhead mutton sheep (Ovis orientalis forma aries) under Central European conditions
(Schlütersche Verlagsgesellschaft, 2015) -
Biochar mineralization and priming effect on SOM decomposition in two European short rotation coppices
(2015)As studies on biochar stability in field conditions are very scarce, the carbon sequestration potential of biochar application to agricultural soils remains uncertain. This study assessed the stability of biochar in field ... -
Life cycle assessment of bioenergy production from orchards woody residues in Northern Italy
(2015)In the alpine Autonomous Province of Bolzano (NE Italy), about 40% of the biomass used for bioenergy production is currently imported. This share is expected to further increase in the near future owing to growing renewable ... -
Litter quality changes during decomposition investigated by thermal analysis
(2015)The litter decomposition process depends on the litter chemical composition, especially the ratio between more labile compounds, cellulose, and the recalcitrant lignin and waxes. Their determination is crucial to predict ...
