The applicability of the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI) at the urban pedestrian level is analysed in relation to the approach for the vertical wind speed profile (VWSP) used in the UTCI basics. As the UTCI refers to the human-biometeorological reference height ( z h−b ) of 1.1 m above ground level (agl), all meteorological input variables for UTCI calculations should also be originated from z h−b . Since the developmen...

Zusammenfassung Der „Rohstoffpark Enns“ ist ein Industriestandort der Fa. Bernegger aus Molln. Im Endzustand umfasst dieser neben allgemeiner Infrastruktur (Bahnanschluss, zentrale Abwasserbehandlung etc.) auf 20 ha sieben Abfallbehandlungsanlagen. Der Zweck dieser Anlagen besteht in der Maximierung rückgewinnbarer Wertstoffe (Metalle, Kunststoffe, mineralische Rohstoffe) als Ersatz für Primärmaterial, der Erzeugung von grüner...

Geospatial information science (GI science) is concerned with the development and application of geodetic and information science methods for modeling, acquiring, sharing, managing, exploring, analyzing, synthesizing, visualizing, and evaluating data on spatio-temporal phenomena related to the Earth. As an interdisciplinary scientific discipline, it focuses on developing and adapting information technologies to understand proc...

Zusammenfassung Die pulvermetallurgische Herstellung von Bauteilen aus innovativen Werkstoffen, wie intermetallischen Titanaluminiden und Refraktärmetallsiliziden, bietet eine Vielfalt von Anwendungsmöglichkeiten in modernen Flugzeugtriebwerken und Verbrennungsmotoren. Für die Produktion von hochwertigen Legierungspulvern und deren Verarbeitung stehen mehrere industriell relevante Verfahren bereit.

Climate and land‐use change jointly affect the future of biodiversity. Yet, biodiversity scenarios have so far concentrated on climatic effects because forecasts of land use are rarely available at appropriate spatial and thematic scales. Agent‐based models (ABMs) represent a potentially powerful but little explored tool for establishing thematically and spatially fine‐grained land‐use scenarios. Here, we use an ABM parameteri...

The collaborative cross (CC) is a large panel of mouse-inbred lines derived from eight founder strains (NOD/ShiLtJ, NZO/HILtJ, A/J, C57BL/6J, 129S1/SvImJ, CAST/EiJ, PWK/PhJ, and WSB/EiJ). Here, we performed a comprehensive and comparative phenotyping screening to identify phenotypic differences and similarities between the eight founder strains. In total, more than 300 parameters including allergy, behavior, cardiovascular, cl...

In the past few decades, severe heat waves were representative of the weather conditions in various parts of the world. They had distinctly negative impacts on humans, plants, animals and different economic sectors. Particularly in cities, where most humans are living, their well‐being, efficiency and health were affected, which even caused a relatively high mortality rate. This is why a large interest still exists to analyse...
