Abstract Objectives To assess at a population‐based level the frequency with which severe structural congenital malformations are detected prenatally in Europe and gestational age detection, to describe regional variation these indicators. Methods In period 1995–1999, data were obtained from 17 European registries of (EUROCAT). Included all live births, fetal deaths terminations pregnancy diagnosed one or more following malformations: anencephalus, encephalocele, spina bifida, hydrocephalus,...
Patent documents provide knowledge about which countries are investing in certain technologies and make it possible to identify potential innovation trends. The aim of this article is analyze trends patenting that might result innovations for three energy technologies: thermochemical conversion biomass (Bioenergy), lithium-ion battery storage, hydrogen production by alkaline water electrolysis. Based on different patent indicators, the most active compared insights into global market...
Abstract Microalgae have a great potential for the sustainable production of food and fuel growing world population with increasing demands changing habits. Since they are cultivated in technical systems, do not contribute to land use competition, loss biodiversity, environmental pollution like other energy crops. Despite these advantages, commercialization algae technology is still an infant stage. Algae has so far failed due low oil prices lack economic viability. However, integrated...
Abstract Background The development of alternative pathways for sustainable fuel production is a crucial task politics, industry and research, since the current use fossil fuels contributes to resource depletion climate change. Microalgae are promising option, but technology readiness level (TRL) low cannot compete economically with fuels. Novel genetic engineering technologies being investigated improve productivity reduce cost harvesting products extracted from or excreted by microalgae...
Abstract Background A further increase in renewable energy supply is needed to substitute fossil fuels and combat climate change. Each source respective technologies have specific techno-economic environmental characteristics as well social implications. This paper presents a comprehensive approach for prospective sustainability assessment of developed within the Helmholtz Initiative “Energy System 2050” (ES2050). Methods The “ES2050 approach” comprises environmental, economic, assessment....
Germany's goal of transitioning to renewable energy by 2045 presents a challenge increased land-use competition. Agrivoltaics is promising solution this dilemma and benefits resilient food production farmers' income. This study, for the first time, assesses spatial potential agrivoltaics in Germany with socio-technical Geographic Information System based on land use restrictions suitability criteria. The study investigates small-scale over suitable crops enable farmers benefit from...
The German government's goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2045 and increasing the use renewable energy, particularly wind solar power, has public support. However, local siting farms is highly controversial due to land-use conflicts. We have developed a comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS) model that integrates criteria from literature identify optimal locations for ground-mounted photovoltaic (GM-PV). based on holistic approach considering energy-related factors broader...
In response to climate change, the limited availability of fossil fuels and risks associated with nuclear energy, Germany's energy transition aims achieve a sustainable, environmentally sound supply services. A monitoring process was established by Federal Government ensure that targets defined for transformation will be reached. The indicator system developed purpose mainly focuses on "classical" environmental, economic technological indicators which statistical time series data political...
ABSTRACT Despite the technical feasibility of renewable energy technologies and their contribution to climate-friendly power production public opposition can be a hurdle for new installations plants. This study assesses citizens' perceptions Agrophotovoltaics (APV) technology by applying Responsible Research Innovation (RRI) concept. APV combines biomass cultivation solar at same site in order reduce land use conflict food vs. production. In workshop, perception on before building first...
The innovative Agrophotovoltaics (APV) system technology combines agricultural biomass and solar power production on the same site aims at reducing conflict between food production. Unrelated to this benefit, may impact landscape negatively could thus be subject public opposition and/or restraining frameworks. presented study offers a System Dynamics (SD) approach, through Causal Loop Diagrams (CLDs) models, based results of citizen workshops, literature research, expert discussions...
To be able to design and use energy technologies with regard the needs of sustainable development, sustainability assessments are necessary prior respective decisions. However, as is known, they pose methodological problems: from difficulties anticipation future developments via determination assessment criteria through necessity define development accurately enough. In this contribution, we will introduce an integrative concept which has hardly been discussed in context. We analyse respect...
We report a new one-pot low-viscosity synthetic route to high molecular weight non-ionic water-soluble polymers based on polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA). The RAFT aqueous dispersion polymerization of N-acryloylmorpholine (NAM) is conducted at 30 °C using suitable redox initiator and poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylamide) (PHEAC) precursor in the presence 0.60 M ammonium sulfate. This relatively low level added electrolyte sufficient salt out PNAM block, while steric stabilization...
The International GNSS Service analysis centers provide orbit products of GPS satellites with weekly, daily, and sub-daily latency. most frequent ultra-rapid products, which include 24 h orbits derived from observations predictions, are vital for real-time applications. However, the predicted part is less accurate than estimated has deviations several decimeters respect to final products. In this study, we investigate potential applying machine-learning (ML) deep-learning (DL) algorithms...
