Die empfindliche Verteuerung des Rohöls im Laufe der letzten Jahre und die in ihrem Sog erfolgten Preissteigerungen auch für die anderen Energieträger haben Energie zu einem besonders kostbaren Wirtschaftsgut werden lassen. Es ist ganz deutlich geworden, dass Energie in allen Lebens- und Produktionsbereichen äußerst sparsam verwendet und optimal genutzt werden muss. Mittel- und langfristig gesehen sind daher gezielt Anstrengungen zu unternehmen, nicht einen Brennstoff durch einen anderen zu ersetzen, sondern - wo immer auch möglich - die natürlcihen Energiequellen zu nutzem.
Fenster versorgen die Innenräume mit Tageslicht, dienen der Lufterneuerung in den Räumen und schützen vor Umwelteinflüssen wie Kälte, Wärme, Lärm, Wind und Niederschlägen. Entsprechend weitgefächert ist das Spektrum deer planungsrelevanten Aspekte. Sowohl licht-, lüftungs-, wärme-, schall und wohntechnische als auch hygienische, psychologische und nicht zuletzt wirtschaftliche Gesichtspunkte sind bei edr täglichen Arbeit zu beachten.
Die Funktion eines Gebäudes, seine flächenmäßige Ausdehnung und seine Gliederung sowie seine Einbettung in die Umgebung bestimmen letztendlich die Dachkonstruktion. Der Planer steht hierbei vor der Aufgabe, unter Beachtung aller bauphysikalischen wie bautechnischen Gegebenheiten ein Optimum an gestalterischer Qualität bei Respektierung wirtschaftlicher und baupraktischer Belange zu realisieren, wobei zu beachten ist, dass gerade das Dach von den die Gebäudehülle bildenden Bauteilen der größten und unmittelbarsten Beanspruchung unterliegt.
In this study, we calculated the energetics of hydrogen atoms adsorbing on and diffusing into the first few layers of γ-Fe for the (100), (110) and (111) surfaces and for the non-magnetic (NM), ferromagnetic (FM), and antiferromagnetic single (AFM1) and double layer (AFMD) structures. These studies are relevant as they atomistically simulate the early stages of hydrogen embrittlement in steels. We employed density functional theory to establish adsorption sites and energies for each plane and the minimum energy pathways for diffusion through the first few layers with associated activation barriers. Adsorption energies for all cases vary between ∼3.7 and 4.4 eV, and the energy barriers to diffusion in the bulk region vary between ∼0.2 and 1.2 eV for the twelve cases, with the highest and lowest bulk diffusion barriers occurring in the NM(111) and the FM(100) case, respectively. We conclude that the texturing of steels in order to expose certain cleavage planes or magnetic structures can decrease the likelihood of hydrogen embrittlement.
To design cost-effective prevention strategies against mastitis in dairy cow farms, knowledge about infection pathways of causative pathogens is necessary. Therefore, we investigated the reservoirs of bacterial strains causing intramammary infections in one dairy cow herd. Quarter foremilk samples (n = 8056) and milking- and housing-related samples (n = 251; from drinking troughs, bedding material, walking areas, cow brushes, fly traps, milking liners, and milker gloves), were collected and examined using culture-based methods. Species were identified with MALDI-TOF MS, and selected Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp. typed with randomly amplified polymorphic DNA-PCR. Staphylococci were isolated from all and streptococci from most investigated locations. However, only for Staphylococcus aureus, matching strain types (n = 2) were isolated from milk and milking-related samples (milking liners and milker gloves). Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus haemolyticus showed a large genetic diversity without any matches of strain types from milk and other samples. Streptococcus uberis was the only Streptococcus spp. isolated from milk and milking- or housing-related samples. However, no matching strains were found. This study underlines the importance of measures preventing the spread of Staphylococcus aureus between quarters during milking.
To effectively prevent and control bovine mastitis, farmers and their advisors need to take infection pathways and durations into account. Still, studies exploring both aspects through molecular epidemiology with sampling of entire dairy cow herds over longer periods are scarce. Therefore, quarter foremilk samples were collected at 14-d intervals from all lactating dairy cows (n = 263) over 18 wk in one commercial dairy herd. Quarters were considered infected with Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus uberis, or Streptococcus dysgalactiae when ≥100 cfu/mL of the respective pathogen was detected, or with Staphylococcus epidermidis or Staphylococcus haemolyticus when ≥500 cfu/mL of the respective pathogen was detected. All isolates of the mentioned species underwent randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR to explore strain diversity and to distinguish ongoing from new infections. Survival analysis was used to estimate infection durations. Five different strains of Staph. aureus were isolated, and the most prevalent strain caused more than 80% of all Staph. aureus infections (n = 46). In contrast, 46 Staph. epidermidis and 69 Staph. haemolyticus strains were isolated, and none of these caused infections in more than 2 different quarters. The 3 most dominant strains of Strep. dysgalactiae (7 strains) and Strep. uberis (18 strains) caused 81% of 33 and 49% of 37 infections in total, respectively. The estimated median infection duration for Staph. aureus was 80 d, and that for Staph. epidermidis and Staph. haemolyticus was 28 and 22 d, respectively. The probability of remaining infected with Strep. dysgalactiae or Strep. uberis for more than 84 and 70 d was 58.7 and 53.5%, respectively. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staph. haemolyticus were not transmitted contagiously and the average infection durations were short, which brings into question whether antimicrobial treatment of intramammary infections with these organisms is justified. In contrast, infections with the other 3 pathogens lasted longer and largely originated from contagious transmission.
Although Corynebacterium spp. can be regularly associated with subclinical and clinical mastitis cases in dairy cows, knowledge on their reservoirs in dairy farms is sparse. Therefore, samples were collected at 10 visits with 14 day intervals from bedding material (n = 50), drinking troughs (n = 20), different walking areas (n = 60), cow brushes (n = 8), fly traps (n = 4), the passage to pasture (n = 9) as well as milking liners (n = 80) and milker gloves (n = 20) in one dairy cow farm. Additionally, quarter foremilk samples from all lactating cows (approximately 200) were collected at each visit. All samples underwent microbiological examination and cultured isolates were identified using MALDI-TOF MS. Most Corynebacterium spp. that were cultivated from milk were also isolated from the housing environment and milking-related niches (C. amycolatum, C. confusum, C. stationis, C. variabile, C. xerosis) or from milking-related niches only (C. frankenforstense, C. pilosum, C. suicordis). C. bovis was not cultivated from any environmental niche, while being the dominant species in milk samples. This study demonstrates that many Corynebacterium spp. present in milk samples can also be isolated from the cows’ environment. For C. bovis, the most relevant Corynebacterium species with regard to intramammary infections, it indicates that environmental reservoirs are of little relevance.
The optimization of lubricated sealing systems with respect to the stick-slip effect requires a friction model that describes the complex friction behavior in the lubricated contact area. This paper presents an efficient dynamic friction model based on the Stribeck curve, which allows to investigate the influencing parameters through finite element (FE) simulations. The simulation of a tribometer test using this friction model proofs that the model correlates well with the tribometer test results. It is shown that the system stiffness has a significant influence on the stick-slip tendency of the system.
The velocity distribution of He atoms evaporating from a slab of liquid dodecane has been simulated. The distribution composed of ∼10 000 He trajectories is shifted to fractionally faster velocities as compared to a Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution at the temperature of the liquid dodecane with an average translational energy of 1.05 × 2RT (or 1.08 × 2RT after correction for a cylindrical liquid jet), compared to the experimental work by Nathanson and co-workers (1.14 × 2RT) on liquid jets. Analysis of the trajectories allows us to infer mechanistic information about the modes of evaporation, and their contribution to the overall velocity distribution.
In this paper a new rotor position observer for permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSM) based on an Extended-Kalman-Filter (EKF) is presented. With this method, just one single EKF is sufficent to evaluate the position information from electromotive force (EMF) and anisotropy. Thus, the PMSM can be controlled for the entire speed range without a position sensor and without the need to switch or synchronize between different observers. The approach covers online estimation of permanent magnetic field and mechanical load. The resulting EKF-based rotor position estimator is embedded in the existing cascaded control concept of the PMSM without need of additional angle trackers or signal filters. The experimental validation for the position sensorless control shows optimized dynamic behaviour.
In dieser Arbeit werden die Grundlagen zur Bestimmung des Kostenverlaufs einzelner ausgewählter Molkereibetriebsabteilungen bei unterschiedlichen Kapazitätsgrößen und -auslastungen bestimmt. Den Produkten (Abteilungen) werden die mengenproportionalen Produkteinzelkosten zugerechnet sowie die Gemeinkosten der Abteilung, die sich aus jahresfixen, tagesfixen und chargenfixen Kosten zusammensetzen. Für Energie werden lediglich mengenproportionale Kosten in Ansatz gebracht. Die sonstigen Kosten der Hilfskostenstellen werden grundsätzlich nicht auf die Produkte bzw. Abteilungen umgelegt; sie werden im letzten Teil dieser Veröffentlichungsreihe behandelt. Die objektive Vergleichbarkeit der Kosten kann so gewährleistet werden. Ein wichtiger Bestandteil dieser Arbeit war die Entwicklung eines für alle Abteilungen brauchbaren Simulationsmodells, das für den Einsatz in der EDV konzipiert wurde. Neben der Berechnung der anfallenden Kosten bei unterschiedlichen Anlagengrößen sind bei dem Computermodell beliebige Variationen der folgenden Faktoren möglich. Dadurch können die Auswirkungen eines veränderten Beschäftigungsgrades bzw. einer anderen Kapazitätsauslastung auf die Stückkosten der einzelnen Produkte ermittelt werden. Es ist vorgesehen, die Daten über Jahre hinaus auf dem neuesten Stand zu halten und zu veröffentlichen.
Die Milchwirtschaft will höhere Preise für Speisequark erlösen. Begründet wird dies mit der in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland gesetzlich verordneten Trockenmasseanhebung des Speisequarks von 17% auf 18%. Da diese Änderung zum 1. Januar 1987 bereits in Kraft trat und den Molkereiunternehmen lange vorher bekannt war, ist die Frage zu stellen, warum eine Änderung der variablen Kosten, von der alle Hersteller gleichermaßen betroffen sind, so schwer am Markt in entsprechende Preisanhebungen umzusetzen ist.
Methodische Weiterentwicklungen der Modellabteilungsrechnung für milchwirtschaftliche Betriebe
(1990)
Vor 15 Jahren wurde der erste Beitrag einer Serie von Modellabteilungsrechnungen mit dem Ziel veröffentlicht, der Praxis und Wissenschaft nachvollziehbare Planungshilfen
für die Gestaltung optimaler Produktionsstrukturen in der Milchwirtschaft an die Hand zu geben. Dieses Ziel gilt auch heute noch, jedoch hat sich im Laufe der Zeit immer
deutlicher herauskristallisiert, daß eine Fortschreibung der Faktorpreise sowie eine gelegentliche Aktualisierung der Faktormengenverbräuche in Anpassung an neue technologische Entwicklungen allein nicht ausreichen, die selbstgesetzen Ansprüche an die Modellabteilungsrechnung zu erfüllen.
In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland gibt es rund 200000 Lieferstellen für Molkereiprodukte vom industriellen Großverbraucher bis zum Facheinzelhändler mit Milchproduktenangebot. Gut die Hälfte der gesamten Nachfrage schöpfen die Zentralläger sowie die Geschäfte des Lebensmitteleinzelhandels ab, wobei die Belieferung des LEH weitestgehend auf Strecke erfolgt. - Dipl.-Wirtsch.-Ing. Heinrich Wietbrauk von der Bundesanstalt für Milchforschung in Kiel analysiert für „dynamik im handel" die milchwirtschaftlichen Warenströme in Deutschland.
Die Serie von Modellabteilungsrechnungen wird mit der Untersuchung des Kostenverlaufs in der Abteilung Weichkäse fortgefuhrt, um einen weiteren Baustein zur Bestimmung optimaler Produktionsstrukturen zu erhalten. Als Ausgangsposition dieser Themenstellung soll im folgenden die Modellabteilung Weichkäse Gestalt annehmen. Dazu sind drei Arbeitsschritte notwendig: die Festlegung des zu untersuchenden Produktes, die inhaltliche Abgrenzung der zu bildenden Modellabteilung und die Auswahl des Fertigungsverfahrens.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit, deren erster und zweiter Teil in den vorangegangenen Heften dieser Zeitschrift veröffentlicht wurden, werden die Kosten der “Weichkäserei” am Beispiel der Herstellung von Camembert- und Brie-Käse modellhaft bestimmt. Damit werden die im Jahr 1970 in gleicher Zeitschrift (Heft 5, Band 22) veröffentlichten Analysen der Produktionskosten in Camembertkäsereien hinsichtlich der Funktionsinhalte ausgedehnt und dem neuesten Stand der Technik sowie heutigen Produktionsstrukturen im Weichkäsesektor angepaßt. Gleichzeitig sind die generell für alle Modellabteilungen geltenden methodischen Weiterentwicklungen (2) in den Kalkulationen berücksichtigt worden. In den sechs Unterabteilungen Vorstapelung, Bruchbereitung/Portionierung, Umhorden/Salzen, Reifung, Abpackung und Fertiglager werden aus der Produktgruppe Weichkäse die Sorten Camembert mit 30 und 60 % F.i.Tr. sowie Brie mit 45 % F.i.Tr. in unterschiedlichen Stückgrößen hergestellt und hinsichtlich ihrer Kostenverursachung untersucht. Zur Bestimmung der Modellkosten wurden vier Modelle gebildet, deren Kapazitäten in der Kesselmilchverarbeitung zwischen 8.000 und 30.000 l/h liegen. In Abhängigkeit vom Beschäftigungsgrad, der für Werte zwischen 15 und 100 % simuliert wurde, können so die Kosten für Käsemengen zwischen rd. 700-17.0001 Käse/Jahr bestimmt werden.Nach den vorgegebenen Kapazitäten sind die technischen Voraussetzungen der einzelnen Unterabteilungen modellspezifisch festgelegt worden, wobei die technische Auslegung an eine verringerte Auslastung bei 65 und 33%iger Beschäftigung angepaßt wurde. Die zu tätigenden Investitionen für die Grundversion betragen 25,0 Mio DM im Modell 1 und 54,5 Mio DM im Modell 4. Bezogen auf die jeweilige Outputmenge an Käse ergeben sich hieraus spezifische Investitionen, die sich mit zunehmender Modellgröße von 5.125 auf 3.205 DM/t jährliche Käsemenge erheblich senken. Produktspezifische Investitionen und Faktormengenverbräuche führen zu den Einzelkosten der ausgewählten Weichkäseprodukte, die z.B. für den Camembert mit 60 % F.i.Tr. je nach Modellgrößeund Beschäftigungsgrad zwischen 500,7 Pf/kg und 620,2 Pf/kg Käse liegen. Die Gesamtkosten der Abteilung “Weichkäserei”, die sich aus den Einzelkosten der Produkte und den Einzelkosten der Abteilung zusammensetzen, betragen im größten Modell bei 100%iger Beschäftigung 522,1 Pf/kg Käse, die sich im kleinsten Modell bei nur 15%iger Beschäftigung auf 1.027,6 Pf/kg Käse erhöhen. Bei einem Beschäftigungsgrad von 65 %, dem die Produktionsmenge eines 2-Schichtbetriebes zugeordnet ist, entfallen von den Gesamtkosten der Abteilung je nach Modellgröße 62-72 % auf die Rohstoffkosten, 14-20 % auf die Anlagekosten und 4-7 % auf die Personalkosten, während die übrigen Kostenartengruppen nur von geringerer Bedeutung sind. Betrachtet man die Gesamtkosten (ohne Rohstoffkosten) hinsichtlich ihrer Entstehung in den Unterabteilungen, so ist festzustellen, daß die Unterabteilungen Bruchbereitung/Portionierung sowie Abpackung die höchsten Kosten verursachen. Für einen Beschäftigungsgrad von 65 % betragen die Kosten in den Unterabteilungen Bruchbereitung/Portionierung im Modell 1 85,8 Pf/kg, die mit zunehmender Modellgröße auf 45,9 Pf/kg im Modell 4 zurückgehen. Die Kosten für die Abpackung liegen im Modell 1 bei 76,2 Pf/kg, während sie im Modell 4 nur noch 58,3 Pf/kg betragen. Die geringsten Kosten verursacht die Unterabteilung Fertiglager mit 2,6 Pf/kg im kleinsten und 1,5 Pf/kg im größten Modell bei 65%iger Beschäftigung. Die Ergebnisse der Modellabteilungsrechnung lassen erkennen, daß mit zunehmender Kapazitätsgröße und ansteigendem Beschäftigungsgrad erhebliche Stückkostendegressionen zu erreichen sind, die bei betriebsindividuellen oder branchenbedingten Entscheidungen genutzt werden sollten. So empfiehlt es sich, daß auf eine dem Markt angepaßte Produktion auch eine auf die geplante Tagesproduktionsmenge angepaßte Ausstattung der Abteilung folgt, da sich, wie in den Modellkostenkurven bei 65 und 33 % Beschäftigung dargestellt, die Kosten sprunghaft senken können. Kostendegressionseffekte werden auch erreicht, wenn durch Spezialisierung der Stückkäse-Produktion die Vielfalt der Formatgrößen eingeschränkt werden kann. Das höchste Kosteneinsparungspotential ist aber durch Strukturveränderungen im Weichkäsesektor zu erwarten, die, wie an zwei Beispielen erläutert, der Branche langfristige Kosteneinsparungen von rd.25 bzw. 95 Mio DM/Jahr ermöglichen können.
In dem vorliegenden Teil 1 der Arbeit werden die Grundlagen und die Rohstoffmengenrechnung zur Ermittlung der Modellkosten in der Abteilung Weichkäserei dargestellt. In sechs Unterabteilungen - Vorstapelung, Bruchbereitung und Portionierung, Umhorden/Salzen, Reifung, Abpackung, Fertiglager - werden aus der Produktgruppe Weichkäse die Sorten Camembert 30 und 60 % F.i.Tr. sowie Brie 45 % F.i.Tr. mit unterschiedlichen Stückgewichten hergestellt und diese hinsichtlich ihrer Kostenverursachung untersucht. Zur Kalkulation der Modellkosten werden 4 Modelle gebildet, deren Verarbeitungskapazität an Kesselmilch zwischen 8.000 und 30.000 l/h liegen. In Abhängigkeit vom Beschäftigungsgrad, der für Werte zwischen 15 % und 100 % simuliert wurde, können so Kosten für Käsemengen zwischen rd. 700 und 17.0001 Käse/Jahr bestimmt werden. Da der Rohstoff Milch im kostenrechnerischen Ansatz als der wichtigste Kostenfaktor gilt, wird der verursachungsgerechten Rohstoffverbrauchsbestimmung in diesem Teil ein gesondertes Kapitel gewidmet. Die Arbeit wird mit dem Teil 2 ''Modellspezifischer Faktoreinsatz'' fortgesetzt, dem abschließend der Teil 3 "Ergebnisse und Interpretation der Modellkalkulation" folgt.
Im zweiten Teil dieser Arbeit bilden gemäß den allgemeinen technischen Prozeßbedingungen die maschinellen und baulichen Ausrüstungen der vier Modelle, deren Investitionsbeträge, Nutzungsdauer und Instandhaltungsquote unterabteilungsweise dargestellt sind, den Ausgangspunkt dieses Themenbereiches. Eine Anpassung der technischen Auslegung an eine verringerte Auslastung erfolgte bei einer 65%igen und 33%igen Beschäftigung. Die zu tätigenden Investitionen für die Grundversion (100 % Beschäftigung) betragen im Modell 1 25,0 Mio. DM und im Modell 4 54,5 Mio. DM. Die Mengenverbräuche der Produktionsfaktoren Rohstoff, Personal, Energie, Betriebs- und Hilfsstoffe sowie Reparaturen sind von den spezifischen Modellausstattungen abgeleitet. Es ergeben sich Faktoreinsatzmengen, die mengenproportional auftreten und den Produkten zugeordnet sind, sowie periodenabhängige fixe Verbrauche, die der Abteilung angelastet werden. Anhand einer ausgewählten Beschäftigungssituation, die einem 2-Schichtbetrieb bei 250 Produktionstagen entspricht, wird aufgezeigt, wie sich die auf Abteilungsebene aggregierten Faktoreinsatzmengen in Abhängigkeit von der Modellgröße gestalten. So ergibt sich z.B. im Bereich des Produktionsfaktors Personal, daß für das Modell 1 eine Beschäftigungszahl an Arbeitskräften von 25 und im Modell 4 von 40 vorgesehen ist.
Streptococcus dysgalactiae is among the most important pathogens causing bovine mastitis. Unfortunately, there is presently a lack of clear knowledge about the mode of transmission — contagious or environmental — of this pathogen. To obtain more information on this, knowledge of the genetic diversity of the isolated microorganisms at the farm level can be useful. To observe the strain variety in different herds of cattle, isolates of Strep. dysgalactiae were collected from clinical mastitis samples at different farms, and the strains were typed using the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) method. Overall, we performed strain typing on 93 isolates from 16 farms in Germany and used an index to describe the degree of contagiosity of Strep. dysgalactiae at each farm. This index (CI) represents the number of isolates divided by the number of strains found in mastitis milk of clinical cases within a period of 14 months. The results differed between the farms. In one farm, all six Strep. dysgalactiae cases that occurred during the study period were caused by a single strain (CI = 6), while in another farm the six cases that occurred were caused by five different strains (CI = 1.2). All other farms fell between these two extremes. This indicates that Strep. dysgalactiae infections can occur via several routes of transmission. At the farm level, strain comparisons are necessary to determine the routes of transmission. Two strains were able to survive on the farm for a minimum of 14 months.
Milk concentrates are used in the manufacturing of dairy products such as yogurt and cheese or are processed into milk powder. Processes for the nonthermal separation of water and valuable milk ingredients are becoming increasingly widespread at farm level. The technical barriers to using farm-manufactured milk concentrate in dairies are minimal, hence the suspicion that the practice of on-farm raw milk concentration is still fairly uncommon for economic reasons. This study, therefore, set out to investigate farmers’ potential willingness to adopt a raw milk concentration plant. The empirical analysis was based on discrete choice experiments with 75 German dairy farmers to identify preferences and the possible adoption of on-farm raw milk concentration. The results showed that, in particular, farmers who deemed the current milk price to be insufficient viewed on-farm concentration using membrane technology as an option for diversifying their milk sales. We found no indication that adoption would be impeded by a lack of trustworthy information on milk processing technologies or capital.
Mastitis poses a considerable threat to productivity and to animal welfare on modern dairy farms. However, the common way of antibiotic treatment does not always lead to a cure. Unsuccessful cures can, among other reasons, occur due to biofilm formation of the causative agent. This has attracted interest from researchers to introduce promising alternative therapeutic approaches, such as the use of beneficial lactic acid bacteria (LAB). In fact, using LAB for treating mastitis probably requires the formation of a beneficial biofilm by the probiotic bacteria. The present study investigated the ability of five LAB strains, selected on the basis of results from previous studies, to remove and to replace pathogenic biofilms in vitro. For this purpose, Staphylococcus (S.) aureus ATCC 12,600 and two strains—S. xylosus (35/07) and S. epidermidis (575/08)—belonging to the group of coagulase negative staphylococci (CNS) were allowed to form biofilms in a 96-well plate. Subsequently, the LAB were added to the well. The biofilm challenge was evaluated by scraping off and suspending the biofilm cells, followed by a plate count of serial dilutions using selective media. All the LAB strains successfully removed the staphylococcal biofilms. However, only Lactobacillus (L.) rhamnosus ATCC 7469 and L. plantarum 2/37 formed biofilms of their own to replace the pathogenic ones.
Mastitis is one of the most important diseases threatening modern dairy herds. The idea of fighting the disease through colonising the udder with lactic acid bacteria (LAB), thereby building a beneficial biofilm, is the base for a probiotic approach towards mastitis control. The purpose of this study was to screen 13 LAB strains (eleven wild strains, two ATCC strains) inhibitory to the growth of mastitis-causing pathogens for their in vitro ability to form a biofilm and to adhere to bovine glandular mammary epithelium in order to assess their probiotic potential. Furthermore, we aimed to gain knowledge about the chemical nature of the adhesins involved by subjecting the bacteria to various chemical and enzymatical pre-treatments. The biofilms were grown on hydrophilic glass and on hydrophobic polypropylene in de Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth and afterwards quantified with a crystal violet assay. Biofilm formation was observed in all strains. However, the extent strongly depended on the strain, surface charge and medium. The adhesion assay also revealed a strong strain dependency, but this trait was also present in all of the investigated LAB isolates. Depending on the strain, chemical or enzymatical pre-treatment revealed carbohydrate molecules as well as proteins and lipids to be crucial for the adhesion of LAB to epithelial cells. The seven strains showing the strongest biofilm formation and/or adhesion represent promising candidates for further investigation in order to develop a probiotic remedy for the treatment of mastitis. Still, their safety for consumers and patients as well as their capability to colonise the udder remain to be investigated in in vivo studies.
Against the background of climate change and finite fossil resources, bio-based plastics have been in the focus of research for the last decade and were identified as a promising alternative to fossil-based plastics. Now, with an evolving bio-based plastic market and application range, the environmental advantages of bio-based plastic have come to the fore and identified as crucial by different stakeholders. While the majority of assessments for bio-based plastics are carried out based on attributional life cycle assessment, there have been only few consequential studies done in this area. Also, the application of eco-design strategies has not been in the focus for the bio-based products due to the prevailing misconceptions of renewable materials (as feedstock for bio-based plastics) considered in itself as an ‘eco-design strategy’. In this paper, we discuss the life cycle assessment as well as eco-design strategies of a bio-based product taking attributional as well as consequential approaches into account.
Flatness-based feedforward control is an approach for combining fast motion with low oscillations for nonlinear or flexible drive systems. Its desired trajectories must be continuously differentiable to the degree of the system order. Designing such trajectories, that also reach the dynamic system limits, poses a challenge. Common solutions, like Gevrey functions, usually require lengthy offline calculations. To achieve a quicker and simpler industrial-suited solution, this paper presents a new online trajectory generation scheme. The algorithm utilizes higher order s-curve trajectories created by a cyclic filtering process using moving average filters. An experimental validation proves the capability as well as industrial applicability of the presented approach for flexible structures like stacker cranes.
The antimicrobial activity of a phagemixture and a lactic acid bacteriumagainst Staphylococcus aureus isolates from bovine origin was investigated in vitro with regard to possible applications in the therapy of udder inflammation (mastitis) caused by bacterial infections. The S. aureus isolates used for inoculation derived from quarter foremilk samples of mastitis cases. For the examination of the antimicrobial activity, the reduction of the S. aureus germ density was determined [log10 cfu/mL]. The phage mixture consisted of the three obligatory lytic and S. aureus-specific phages STA1.ST29, EB1.ST11 and EB1.ST27 (1:1:1). The selected Lactobacillus plantarum strain with proven antimicrobial properties and the phage mixture were tested against S. aureus in milk, both alone and in combination. The application of the lactic acid bacterium showed only a low reduction ability for a 24 h incubation period. The bacteriophage mixture as well as its combination with the lactic acid bacterium showed high antimicrobial activity against S. aureus for a 24 h incubation period at 37 C, with only the phage mixture showing significance.
The objective of this study was to investigate the association between teat skin colonization and intramammary infection (IMI) with Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus agalactiae at the quarter level in herds with automatic milking systems. Milk and teat skin samples from 1,142 quarters were collected from 300 cows with somatic cell count >200,000 cells/mL from 8 herds positive for Strep. agalactiae. All milk and teat skin samples were cultured on calf blood agar and selective media. A subset of samples from 287 quarters was further analyzed using a PCR assay (Mastit4 PCR; DNA Diagnostic A/S, Risskov, Denmark). Bacterial culture detected Staph. aureus in 93 (8.1%) of the milk samples and 75 (6.6%) of the teat skin samples. Of these, 15 (1.3%) quarters were positive in both the teat skin and milk samples. Streptococcus agalactiae was cultured in 84 (7.4%) of the milk samples and 4 (0.35%) of the teat skin samples. Of these, 3 (0.26%) quarters were positive in both the teat skin and milk samples. The PCR detected Staph. aureus in 29 (10%) of the milk samples and 45 (16%) of the teat skin samples. Of these, 2 (0.7%) quarters were positive in both the teat skin and milk samples. Streptococcus agalactiae was detected in 40 (14%) of the milk samples and 51 (18%) of the teat skin samples. Of these, 16 (5.6%) quarters were positive in both the teat skin and milk samples. Logistic regression was used to investigate the association between teat skin colonization and IMI at the quarter level. Based on bacterial culture results, teat skin colonization with Staph. aureus resulted in 7.8 (95% confidence interval: 2.9; 20.6) times higher odds of Staph. aureus IMI, whereas herd was observed as a major confounder. However, results from the PCR analyses did not support this association. Streptococcus agalactiae was isolated from the teat skin with both PCR and bacterial culture, but the number of positive teat skin samples detected by culture was too low to proceed with further analysis. Based on the PCR results, Strep. agalactiae on teat skin resulted in 3.8 (1.4; 10.1) times higher odds of Strep. agalactiae IMI. Our results suggest that Staph. aureus and Strep. agalactiae on teat skin may be a risk factor for IMI with the same pathogens. Focus on proper teat skin hygiene is therefore recommended also in AMS.
This paper presents a cascaded methodology for enhancing the path accuracy of industrial robots by using advanced control schemes. It includes kinematic calibration as well as dynamic modeling and identification. This is followed by a centralized model-based compensation of robot dynamics. The implemented feed-forward torque control shows the expected improvements of control accuracy. However, external measurements show the influence of joint elasticities as systematic path errors. To further increase the accuracy an iterative learning controller (ILC) based on external camera measurements is designed. The implementation yields to significant improvements of path accuracy. By means of a kind of automated ”Teach-In”, an overall effective concept for the automated calibration and optimization of the accuracy of industrial robots in high-dynamic path-applications is realized.
The bio-based plastic market is forecast to grow in the next years. With a growing market share and product range, the implementation of circular thinking is becoming more and more important also for bio-based plastics to enable a sound circular economy for these group of plastics. Therefore, it is important to assess the environmental performance for different end-of-life options of bio-based plastics from an early stage on. This review presents a comprehensive overview on the current status quo of different end-of-life options for bio-based plastics from an environmental perspective. Based on the status quo and the corresponding impact assessment results, the global plastic demand as well as the technical substitution potential of bio-based plastics, the environmental saving potential in case of the different end-of-life options was calculated. The review shows that there is a focus on polylactic acid (PLA) regarding end-of-life assessment, with studies covering all end-of-life options. The focus of the impact assessment has been set on global warming potential (GWP). With respect to GWP, the analysis of a future global potential of PLA showed, for mechanical recycling, the highest saving potential with 94.1 Mio. t CO2-eq. per year in comparison to virgin material.
The technical, environmental and economic potential of hemp fines as a natural filler in bioplastics to produce biocomposites is the subject of this study – giving a holistic overview. Hemp fines are an agricultural by-product of the hemp fibres and shives production. Shives and fibres are for example used in the paper, animal bedding or composite area. About 15 to 20 wt.-% per kg hemp straw results in hemp fines after processing. In 2010 about 11,439 metric tons of hemp fines were produced in Europe. Hemp fines are an inhomogeneous material which includes hemp dust, shives and fibre. For these examinations the hemp fines are sieved in a further step with a tumbler sieving machine to obtain more specified fractions. The untreated hemp fines (ex work) as well as the sieved fractions are combined with a polylactide polymer (PLA) using a co-rotating twin screw extruder to produce biocomposites with different hemp fine content. By using an injection moulding machine standard test bars are produced to conduct several material tests. The Young’s modulus is increased and the impact strength reduced by hemp fines. With a content of above 15 wt.-% hemp fines are also improving the environmental (global warming potential) and economic performance in comparison to pure PLA.
A novel method has been implemented to prepare metal oxide nanopowders covered with known quantities of adsorbed water; we subsequently studied the γ-radiolysis of ZrO2 nanopowders covered with H2O layers. H2 yields from the adsorbed water radiolysis are of importance in multiple industrial contexts – the nuclear industry being a prime example. Measured H2 yields at water coverages of just below and above one monolayer are around 350 times greater than for neat water, but these yields decrease rapidly with increasing water loading of the ZrO2 nanoparticles, approaching the yield of bulk water at coverages of tens of water layers. The observed plateau of the yields at 0.5 to 2.0 monolayers coverage can be explained by the ease with which electronic excitations in the ZrO2 can be transferred across the interface to the first one or two adsorbed water layers. However, with increasing water loading, energy transfer to water layers further away from the interface becomes less efficient, and above ~30 water layers, most of the water is not affected by any exciton formation in the ZrO2.
The ability to functionalize graphene with several methods, such as radical reactions, cycloadditions, hydrogenation, and oxidations, allows this material to be used in a large range of applications. In this framework, it is essential to be able to control the efficiency and stability of the functionalization process—this requires understanding how the graphene reactivity is affected by the environment, including the substrate. In this work we provide an insight on the substrate dependence of graphene reactivity towards hydrogenation by comparing three different substrates: silicon, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), and molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). Although MoS2 and h-BN have flatter surfaces than silicon, we found that the H coverage of graphene on h-BN is about half of the H coverage on graphene on both silicon and MoS2. Therefore, graphene shows strongly reduced reactivity towards hydrogenation when placed on h-BN. The difference in hydrogenation reactivity between h-BN and MoS2 may indicate a stronger van der Waals force between graphene and h-BN, compared to MoS2, or may be related to the chemical properties of MoS2, which is a well-known catalyst for hydrogen evolution reactions.
This feasibility study investigates the flexural properties of biocomposites containing woven flax textiles (plain, twill, satin) and woven twill patterned hybrid textiles containing flax-/glass or flax-/carbon mixture for lightweight applications. Synthetic fibers are integrated as weft and flax fibers are integrated as warp yarns using a double-rapier weaving machine with a Jacquard attachment. The corresponding biocomposites are manufactured via vacuum infusion process using a biobased epoxy resin as a matrix. The manufactured biocomposites are analyzed with regard to their density and flexural properties. The results show that the use of hybrid textiles offers a promising solution for the manufacture of biocomposites with a higher biobased content and significantly improved flexural properties. Furthermore, the introduction of high-performance synthetic fibers in textiles enables the manufacture of biocomposites with an isotropic mechanical performance.
Food protein hydrolysates are often produced in unspecific industrial batch processes. The hydrolysates composition underlies process-related fluctuations and therefore the obtained peptide fingerprint and bioactive properties may vary. To overcome this obstacle and enable the production of specific hydrolysates with selected peptides, a ceramic capillary system was developed and characterized for the continuous production of a consistent peptide composition. Therefore, the protease Alcalase was immobilized on the surface of aminosilane modified yttria stabilized zirconia capillaries with a pore size of 1.5 μm. The loading capacity was 0.3 μg enzyme per mg of capillary with a residual enzyme activity of 43%. The enzyme specific peptide fingerprint produced with this proteolytic capillary reactor system correlated with the degree of hydrolysis, which can be controlled over the residence time by adjusting the flow rate. Common food proteins like casein, sunflower and lupin protein isolates were tested for continuous hydrolysis in the developed reactor system. The peptide formation was investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography. Various trends were found for the occurrence of specific peptides. Some are just intermediately occurring, while others cumulate by time. Thus, the developed continuous reactor system enables the production of specific peptides with desired bioactive properties.
During the transition from conventional towards purely electrical, sustainable mobility, transitional technologies play a major part in the task of increasing adaption rates and decreasing range anxiety. Developing new concepts to meet this challenge requires adaptive test benches, which can easily be modified e.g. when progressing from one stage of development to the next, but also meet certain sustainability demands themselves.
The system architecture presented in this paper is built around a service-oriented software layer, connecting a modular hardware layer for direct access to sensors and actuators to an extensible set of client tools. Providing flexibility, serviceability and ease of use, while maintaining a high level of reusability for its constituent components and providing features to reduce the required overall run time of the test benches, it can effectively decrease the CO2 emissions of the test bench while increasing its sustainability and efficiency.
Coaxial Laser wire Direct Energy Deposition (L-DED) promises a direction-independent buildup due to a centric supply of the welding material. To fabricate Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs), a processing head was designed that is capable of supplying two wire materials into the processing zone. This study investigates the direction dependency of welding seams produced by two 1.4718 metal wires with a diameter of 0.8 mm in a coaxial laser setup using three separately controllable single laser beams with a maximum combined laser power of 660 W. The welding wires are supplied simultaneously to the laser spot under an incidence angle of 3.5° to the middle axis of the processing head. The seam geometry is investigated using a confocal laserscanning-microscope. A comparison of the height, width and macroscopic seam geometry reveals the influence of the welding direction on the seam geometry and quality in Laser Double wire Direct Energy Deposition (LD-DED).
The control of clinical mastitis on dairy farms is an essential part of animal health management. Knowledge of the causative microorganisms, the cure rates achievable in the field and essential associated factors are crucial for proper control. The objectives of the present study were to characterize clinical mastitis cases in Germany and to analyze factors influencing cure rates and the recurrence rate. Milk samples of every clinical mastitis case occurring on 12 participating farms were examined cytomicrobiologically. Post-treatment quarter samples were taken after 14 and 21 days. Treatments were performed according to existing farm protocols. Of 2883 clinical mastitis cases, the most prevalent pathogens were Streptococcus (S.) uberis (20.2%) and coliforms (11.6%). In 35% of the milk samples, no bacteriological growth was detected. The overall bacteriological cure rate was 73.3%, while the cytological cure rate was 22.3%, the full cure rate 21.4% and the recurrence rate 18.8%. Regarding the pathogen distribution of severe mastitis, coliform bacteria were detected in 30.5% of the cases, whereas S. uberis was detected in 26.5% thereof. The results show that severe mastitis is caused almost as frequently by Gram-positive as by Gram-negative microorganisms. The low cytological cure rates show that the therapy needs to be further developed with regard to calming the inflammation. The obtained data can be very helpful in assessing internal mastitis scenarios and the effect of measures and therapies.
Electrospinning with consequent thermal treatment consists in a carbon fiber production method that spins a polymer solution to create fibers with diameters around a few hundred nanometers. The thermal treatments are used for the cyclization and then carbonization of the material at 1700 °C for one hour. The unique structure of micro- and nano-carbon fibers makes them a promising material for various applications ranging from future battery designs to filtration. This work investigated the possibility of using milled gasification biochar, derived from a 20 kW fixed-bed gasifier fueled with vine pruning pellets, as an addictive in the preparation of electrospinning solutions. This study outlined that solvent cleaning and the consequent wet-milling and 32 µm sifting are fundamental passages for biochar preparation. Four different polyacrylonitrile-biochar shares were tested ranging from pure polymer to 50–50% solutions. The resulting fibers were analyzed via scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray and infrared spectroscopy. Results from the morphological analysis showed that biochar grains dispersed themselves well among the fiber mat in all the proposed shares. All the tested solutions, once carbonized, exceeded 97%wt. of carbon content. At higher carbonization temperatures, the inorganic compounds naturally showing in biochar such as potassium and calcium disappeared, resulting in an almost carbon-pure fiber matrix with biochar grains in between.
This paper proposes an extended Petri net formalism as a suitable language for composing optimal scheduling problems of industrial production processes with real and binary decision variables. The proposed approach is modular and scalable, as the overall process dynamics and constraints can be collected by parsing of all atomic elements of the net graph. To conclude, we demonstrate the use of this framework for modeling the moulding sand preparation process of a real foundry plant.
During machine milking, pathogenic microorganisms can be transmitted from cow to cow through liners. Therefore, in Germany, a spray method for the intermediate disinfection of the milking cluster is often used for prevention. This method of cluster disinfection is easy to perform, requires little time and no extra materials, and the disinfection solution is safe from outside contamination in the spray bottle. Since no data on a systematic efficacy trial are available, the aim of this study was to determine the microbial reduction effect of intermediate disinfection. Therefore, laboratory and field trials were conducted. In both trials, two sprays of 0.85 mL per burst of different disinfectant solutions were sprayed into the contaminated liners. For sampling, a quantitative swabbing method using a modified wet–dry swab (WDS) technique based on DIN 10113-1: 1997-07 was applied. Thus, the effectiveness of disinfectants based on Peracetic Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide and Plasma-Activated Buffered Solution (PABS) was compared. In the laboratory trial, the inner surfaces of liners were contaminated with pure cultures of Escherichia (E.) coli, Staphylococcus (S.) aureus, Streptococcus (Sc.) uberis and Sc. agalactiae. The disinfection of the contaminated liners with the disinfectants resulted in a significant reduction in bacteria with values averaging 1 log for E. coli, 0.7 log for S. aureus, 0.7 log for Sc. uberis and 0.8 log for Sc. agalactiae. The highest reduction was obtained for contamination with E. coli (1.3 log) and Sc. uberis (0.8 log) when PABS was applied and for contamination with S. aureus (1.1 log) and Sc. agalactiae (1 log) when Peracetic Acid Solution (PAS) was used. Treatment with sterile water only led to an average reduction of 0.4 log. In the field trial, after the milking of 575 cows, the liners were disinfected and the total microorganism count from the liner surface was performed. The reduction was measured against an untreated liner within the cluster. Although a reduction in microorganisms was achieved in the field trial, it was not significant. When using PAS, a log reduction of 0.3 was achieved; when using PABS, a log reduction of 0.2 was obtained. The difference between the two disinfection methods was also not significant. Treatment with sterile water only led to a reduction of 0.1 log. The results show that spray disinfection under these circumstances does result in a reduction in the bacteria on the milking liner surface, but for effective disinfection a higher reduction would be preferred.
Subclinical mastitis in heifers during early lactation affects udder health, future milk production and, therefore, the risk of premature culling. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify pre- and post-partum risk factors associated with a high heifer mastitis rate (HMR), and to find out which period (either pre- or post-partum) contains more risk factors and consequently should be the focus of mastitis control in heifers. A total of 77 herds were included in this study and the potential animal- and farm-related risk factors were recorded during a one-time farm visit. The HMR was provided by the dairy herd improvement test (DHI) as the annual average of the past 11 DHIs. For this study, data were analyzed in two models using generalized linear models. Each model examined the association between possible risk factors and HMR, one including only prepartum risk factors and the other one only post-partum risk factors. One identified pre-partum risk factor was the proportion of udder-healthy cows in the herd. Post-partum risk factors were the type of teat cleaning procedure before milking, teat disinfection, treatment of mastitis in heifers, a body condition score (BCS) of >3.0 in fresh heifers, and the combination of a teat cleaning procedure with a teat disinfectant. The results show the importance of the period shortly after calving for udder health in heifers, as four of the five significant risk factors were identified in this period and three of them were related to the milking process. However, further research with a higher number of herds is needed to minimize individual herd effects.
This paper presents a databased approach for improving the precision of the moulding sand compressibility in the moulding sand mixer of a foundry. In this approach, the deviation between the measured and the target compressibility is reduced by controlling the water addition. The complex dynamic behaviour of the process variables and their influence on the water addition is modelled with a long short-term memory (LSTM) network. Another LSTM network as control path simulates the impact of the water addition on the compressibility. Simulation and experimental results with the applied model for water prediction in a feedforward control yield relevant improvements of the moulding sand compressibility.
This paper presents a novel approach for modelling the energy consumption of the coupled parallel moulding sand mixers of a foundry as an optimal control problem. The minimization of energy consumption is optimized by scheduling the mixing processes in a linear integer programming scheme. The sand flow through the foundry’s sand preparation is characterized by a physical model. This model considers the sand demand of the moulding machine as disturbance, the stored sand masses in the mixer hoppers and machine hoppers, respectively. The novel approach of handling dwell-times for dosing, mixing and transport processes using dead-time systems and constraint pushing allows the application of a linear model. The formulation of the optimal control problem aims at real-time application as model predictive control at the production plant. Initial application results indicate an improvement in energy consumption of approximately 8%.
