description: From climate change to armed conflict, our world is struggling with urgent global issues. But disagreements about how to solve them can spiral out of control.
The only way to resolve intractable conflicts is to overcome desire to talk to allies more often than opponents. Here, a social psychologist, two ecologists and a cartoonist explain the toolbox of communication we need to resolve difficult issues.

description: Purpose: The nature of knowledge and the way it is assimilated do play a vital role in influencing knowledge sharing tendencies. These specific factors coupled with the ineffectiveness of the intrinsic knowledge management system point towards an inherent knowledge hiding tendency that exists within every organization. Knowledge hiding is established as an intentional attempt to hide knowledge when it is requested. In the recent past, scholars have investigated the factors causing hiding of the task-related knowledge. However, there is still no clear understanding of the strategic factors that lead to knowledge hiding in organizations and which of these factors are the most critical ones. The purpose of this paper is to identify the most critical strategic factors that cause knowledge hiding in different contexts. Design/methodology/approach: This research study tries to identify these factors from the literature, corroborate it with industry experts and model the same with the aid of total interpretive structural modelling. This is followed by Matrice d'Impacts Croises Multiplication Appliquée a un Classement and sensitivity analysis, which determines the unique driving factors and their powers, which vary based on industry sectors and years of work experience. Findings: This study found out that knowledge hiding behaviour is more pronounced in the initial years of an individual within the organization and similarly in the final years of an individual within the organization. In a period in between both these, there are no critical driving factors that infuse knowledge hiding. Originality/value: This is one of the first comprehensive research studies that unravel the dynamic nature of the strategic factors engendering knowledge hiding across two different dimensions, namely, industry sectors and work-experience of individuals. This study categorically aims to aid the management in bringing out necessary interventions to curb the menace of knowledge hiding.

description: Trebbiano white grapes were harvested both by hand and mechanically, with the addition of O2 and SO2 at crushing in the vineyard. After wine-making in standard conditions, the wines were cla rified with different fining agents. The wines were tested to identify the volatile components. The method developed included solvent extraction, concentration, GLC and GLC/MS an alysis. Over 60 compounds were ide ntified, some of which were previously unidentified. Only some volatile components were significantly affected by the harvesting techniques or by clarification treatments. The hyperoxygenation of the crushed grapes lowered the aroma profile, improving the content of the more oxidized molecules. The S02 addition increased maceration phenomena, but decreased wine stability to browning reactions. The wine finishing with bentonite and other clarifying additives resulted in a loss of some aroma compounds due to volatilization.

Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: The effects of light intensity (photon flux density, PFD) and water stress on ihe gas exchange of grape vine varieties grown under field and glasshouse conditions were studied: • The light compensation point of leaves of field-grown Riesling was determined at 9 μmol quanta · m-2 · s-1, the light saturation of CO2 assimilation (A) was reached at 0.55 mmol quanta · m-2 · s-1. At higher PFD (0.55-2.25 mmol quanta· m-2 · s-1) A increased slightly; this increase is assumed tobe due to the increasing inte r cellular CO2 concentration (ci) at high PFD. Photon yield (A/PFD) decreased with increasing PFD. The rate of photorespiration (RL) ranged from 13.7 to 16.1 % of A (exceptatPFD < 0.17mmolquanta · m-2 . s-1). • Irrigated vines grown in a shaded glasshouse (maximum PFD 400 μmol quanta · m-2 · s-1) exerted lower rates of A, A/PFD and carboxylation efficiency (A/c1) compared to field-grown plants. At high PFD the rate of A of these plants was slightly decreased. The water use efficiency (A/E) was highest in Trollinger (4.7) followed by Riesling (4.6) and Phoenix (3.5 μmol CO2 · mmol H2O-1). Compared to fieldgrown vines RL (% of A) of glasshouse-grown vines increased to 20 %. • Glasshouse-grown vines subjected to water stress (Ψpd = -7.5 bar) showed reduced maximum rates of A ( Amax)· PFD at Amax was lowered in stressed vines from 725 to 520 ~tmol quanta · m-2 · s-1. At water stress, the A/E ratio was increased in all varieties. The rate of RL was reduced under stress conditions, but to a smaller extent than A. Therefore RL (as % of A) increased to 35-52 %. • 3 d after rewatering stressed vines, stomatal conductance for CO2 (gCO2) and A had not fully recovered from stress; a complete recovery was observed only 5 d after rewatering in Riesling and Phoenix but not in Trollinger.

Ready for Take Off – progress and outlook in circular aviation
Creators: name: Webb, Stephen
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This presentation will explain basic drivers, targets and potential solutions being developed by EU-funded research and innovation projects in the field of circular aviation. The aviation sector remains torn between its status as infrastructure key to ongoing progress and prosperity around the globe[1], and one of the most prolific and fastest growing sources of carbon emissions on the planet. Under Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe and Joint Undertakings projects, a range of solutions are being developed to apply much-needed circular economy principles in the sector. SUSTAINair[2] and CAELESTIS[3] for example, are rethinking how the sector designs and recycles aircraft, with the aim of preventing downcycling of, and reduce dependency on importing of precious materials such as aluminium. Additionally, virtual prototypes able to speed up new component qualification are being built and tested to enable the use of entirely new materials that could enable net zero flight. Besides achieving a paradigm shift toward sustainability (and safety) by design of aircraft to enable better recyclability, aircraft operations create a huge environmental burden to which solutions are needed. Electric- and hydrogen-propelled aircraft will come but it will take decades until civil aircraft are ready for commercial use. Reduction of carbon footprint can be incrementally achieved by increasing the share of bio-based fuel to conventional aircraft fuel, for example from algae-derived bio-ethanol produced from industrial CO2 emissions as being developed in the FuelGae[4] project.    

Reducing CO2 footprint and achieving a more circular economy in the aviation sector requires innovation collaborations across, and between entire value chains. A myriad of public-private partnerships is laying groundwork essential to Europe’s long-term strategy to be climate-neutral by 2050. Some example of circular aviation projects being implement will be present in ISPIM-Salzburg 2023.
Anxieties in colonial mauritius and the erosion of the White Australia policy

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Between 1901 and 1973 immigration to Australia was governed by the White Australia policy, which prevented non-Europeans from entering Australia for residence except under special circumstances. Its relaxation in 1964 and 1966 has usually been explained within two overlapping frameworks: the context of Australian domestic politics and the wider context of Australia's relations with its Asian neighbours. Writers have argued that in the mid-1960s the White Australia policy was substantially revised because it was no longer supported by a broad consensus at home. They have also suggested that from the 1950s the sustained criticism advanced by Asian governments had a profound impact on the formulation of the policy because the Australian government became increasingly concerned about the damage the White Australia policy was doing to Australia's reputation overseas. This article examines how the Australian immigration authorities reacted to sustained attempts by people who were not considered 'white' and 'European' to migrate to Australia. It suggests that the authorities' response involved changes to Australia's immigration policy, and that an attempt to understand these changes must take into account, not only domestic and international opinion, but also the contexts which motivated people affected by the White Australia policy to migrate to Australia. This issue is explored by way of a case study: the migration (and attempted migration) of Mauritian gens de couleur (literally: people of colour) to Australia.

description: A microsomal fraction possessing Mg2+-dependent and K+-stimulated ATPase activity was extracted by differential centrifugation from roots of grape seedlings (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Verduzzo). Roots yield from grape seeds was stimulated by means of GA3 and further improved by treatments able to control microbial contamination. The biochemical characteristics of ATPase activity were studied and compared with those previously reported for roots produced by grape woody cuttings. The presence of choline-Cl, ethanolamine and glycerol-1-P in addition to BSA, EDTA, PVPP and DTT in the homogenizing medium was obligatory in order to record the K+-stimulated component of activity. The enzyme was activated by Mg2+, further stimulated by monovalent ions and showed strong preference for ATP as the substrate and optimum pH at 6.5 in the presence of both Mg2+ and K+. The effect of different monovalent ions followed a sequence similar to that found in cereal roots preparations, but very different with respect to that recorded for preparations from roots of grape woody cuttings. K+-ATPase activity was inhibited by vanadate and DES whereas molybdate and azide had no or scarce effect . ATPase activity showed a simple Michaelis-Menten saturation with increasing ATP: Mg concentration, and a complex pattern of possible negative cooperativity for K+ stimulation. Microsomes fractionated using sucrose density gradient showed enrichment in plasmalemma vesicles at 1.10-1,15 g ml-1 density. This parameter differentiates this fraction from similar preparations containing plasmalemma ATPase obtained from roots of various annual plants.

Precipitable N in shoots or roots contained up to 2/3 of total supplied 15N. Arginine concentrations were higher during cyanamide feeding than in controls and declined to control levels after transfer into cyanamide free nutrient solution. In arginine extracted from shoots and roots after hydrolysis with 6 M HCl and column chromatography, 6-7 % of l5N originating from cyanamide was recovered.

Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: Riesling vines were subjected over a 3-year old period to four training systems ('flachbogen'; 'pendelbogen'; low cordon; Moselle loop) in combination with two pruning strategies (30 + 10 balanced pruning; 25 nodes/m of row). Low cordon-trained vines yielded highest and maintained densest canopies, but were also characterized by a reduction in cane periderm formation, wine aroma intensity, wine quality, and, during 1984, 0 Brix, duster weight, and berries per duster. Effects of both training and pruning strategy on titratable acidity and pH were very small. Due to large and consistent gains in yield, improved budbreak and canopy fill, as weil as potential for mechanization of pruning, low cordon training is recommended for Riesling on non-divided canopies.

LIDER and R. M. KUNDE ('Lider seedlings') primarily for resistance to the dagger nematode (Xiphinema index THORNE and ALLEN). They were budded with Chasselas scions and planted in a vineyard replant site infested with X. index in north-eastern Victoria, Australia. The scions on most of the Lider seedling rootstocks produced significantly higher yields than those on the rootstocks traditionally used in this area for resistance to grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae FITCH). 6 Lider seedlings produced high yields , and were vigorous and easy to propagate. They were also shown previously to have resistance to X. index, and therefore warrant further testing.

description: The study of minute cuticular details of small delicate insects is possible by slide mounting of the entire exoskeleton or part of it. This technique requires whole insect body clearing or tissue bleaching and washing. Lesser sclerotized insect body greatly suffers for such treatments and looses its natural body shape by shrinkage or by flattening, consequently. The aim of this study is to suggest an effective, fast and cheap technique to image less sclerotized insects that are prone to shrink or to wrinkle their bodies because of desiccation. Actual availability of desktop Cryo-SEM (Hitachi TM 3000 series) suggested us to experiment the opportunity to preserve natural body shape of the minute, delicate and lesser sclerotized insects in their living attitude. The technique bases on freezing the specimen, either living or previously EtOH-preserved but moved in water for the preparation, in water down to -40°C on the SEM Cryo-stage and setting it for observation in SEM vacuum chamber. Once in the vacuum a proper T°C increase at about -28/-22°C allows external ice sublimation and exposes the frozen insect to direct SEM imaging. The technique appears promising because of the overall quality of results, the resolving power, the opportunity to measure the specimens. In fact, delicate specimens as Phylloxera ilicis Grassi (Hemiptera: Phylloxeridae, a representative of Phylloxera quercus Boyer de Fonscolombe group), the Italian grape mealybugs Planococcus ficus (Signoret) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) and Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) maggots that are all usually ruined by desiccation during direct SEM observation, beautifully retain their natural body shape by this technique allowing the study and imaging of external morphology. As a further advantage there is no need to critical point drying or metal coating and the same sample can be submitted to conventional slide mounting later, after being studied by Cryo-SEM. Finally, we present a table of the running time/cost per observation of the proposed technique.

These were improved soil management, lighter pruning/higher trellis, irrigation and a control. In the first year a yield increase of 1.6 t /ha for the irrigation treatment had no significant effect on wine quality. A procedure is presented to assess judges for reliability, discrimination, variability and stability as part of analysis of the sensory results. Four judges were able to consistently identify lot differences.

The localisation of acids, sugars, potassium and calcium in developing grape berries
Creators: name: Possner, D. R. E.

Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: Grape berries (Vitis vinifera cv. Chardonnay) were divided into four concentric zones in order to follow the developmental changes in the concentrations of malate, tartrate, glucose, fructose, potassium and calcium within the skin and the fruit flesh. Green berries showed a definite malate gradient, increasing in concentration from the skin towards the seeds; tartaric acid, on the other hand, was highest in concentration at the periphery and lowest in the berry center. With progressing maturity, the ratio between the tartrate concentration in the skin and the corresponding values in the berry core decreased, whereas the reverse was true for malate. In the ripe berry an acid gradient could also be found in the axial direction, decreasing from the pedicel towards the stylar scar. Before the onset of ripening, the highest glucose and fructose concentrations were observed in the skin and the berry center. The accumulation of these sugars in the pulp began without any apparent lag phase at a rate of about 2 mg/ berry · d. After veraison, the highest concentrations were found in the fruit core and the tissue below the peripheral vascular bundles. Both potassium and calcium were mainly localized near the peripheral and central vascular bundles. The potassium content increased during the entire period of berry development at a constant rate of 0.04 mg/berry · d, whereas calcium accumulation stopped about 30 d after anthesis. At this time, the calcium content was approximately 0.1 mg/berry.

description: Hypothalamic tanycytes are neural stem and progenitor cells, but little is known of how they are regulated. Here we provide evidence that the cell adhesion molecule, NrCAM, regulates tanycytes in the adult niche. NrCAM is strongly expressed in adult mouse tanycytes. Immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization analysis revealed that NrCAM loss of function leads to both a reduced number of tanycytes and reduced expression of tanycyte-specific cell markers, along with a small reduction in tyrosine hydroxylase-positive arcuate neurons. Similar analyses of NrCAM mutants at E16 identify few changes in gene expression or cell composition, indicating that NrCAM regulates tanycytes, rather than early embryonic hypothalamic development. Neurosphere and organotypic assays support the idea that NrCAM governs cellular homeostasis. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) shows that tanycyte-specific genes, including a number that are implicated in thyroid hormone metabolism, show reduced expression in the mutant mouse. However, the mild tanycyte depletion and loss of markers observed in NrCAM-deficient mice were associated with only a subtle metabolic phenotype.

description: Prior research has indicated that peninsula(r) effects appear to be idiosyncratic, depending on context, taxa, scales, and taxonomic levels. In this review (87 papers; 1950 to 2013) I report a historical arrangement of causal processes inducing diversity patterns that may be grouped as: (1) recent stochastic processes (equilibrium and derived island biogeography theories); (2) historical events (palaeoclimatic and palaeogeographic changes); (3) recent deterministic processes with a geographical base–tip gradient; and (4) anthropogenic recent processes. Patterns in species diversity have also been reported for ecological habitat peninsulas on the mainland. Here, mainly anthropogenic causal mechanisms at landscape/patch scale may be hypothesized, with implications in multiscale conservation strategies and applied biogeography. Peninsular studies must overcome weaknesses in methodological approaches regarding the definition of peninsular border and scales, the procedures of setting data and analyses, inadequate data and taxonomic uncertainty, and standardized sampling efforts.

Evaluating current convection-permitting ensembles for past high- impact precipitation events in Italy: the SPITCAPE Special Project
Creators: name: Capecchi, Valerio
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The main goal of the ECMWF Special Project SPITCAPE 2016-2018 is to understand the information content of the current ensemble systems both at global and meso scales in re-forecasting past high-impact weather events. In particular one of the main questions addressed in the project is: what is the added value of running a high-resolution (namely convection-permitting) ensemble for high-impact weather events with respect to global ones?
 Running operational Ensemble Prediction Systems (EPS) at the convection-permitting (CP) scale is currently on the agenda at a number of European weather forecasting services and research centres: UK Met Office, Météo France and DWD to mention a few.
 Moreover, in the framework of the activities of the forthcoming ItaliaMeteo agency, it is foreseen the development of a regional EPS at CP scale for the Italian domain. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the baseline approach of dynamical downscaling using CP models nested in a global ensemble with a coarser horizontal resolution (e.g. 20 km) provides valuable information. Since the introdcuction of the IFS model cycle 41r2 in March 2016, the horizontal resolution of the ECMWF ensemble forecasts (ENS) is about 18 km. Thus, these higher-resolution global ENS data allows us to estimate the technical feasibility and value of the simple dynamical downscaling method to initialise
 a limited-area and CP model (the WRF model in the present case) directly nested in the new ECMWF global ensemble.
 We applied this pragmatic approach in re-forecasting three high-impact weather events occurred in Italy in recent years (the Cinque Terre flooding in October 2011 and two flash floods occurred in Genoa in November 2011 and October 2014) with both the ENS and the WRF-ENS forecasts. The skills of the forecasts in the short-range are evaluated in terms of Probability of Precipitation exceeding predefined rainfall thresholds. In the medium-range we report and discuss the forecast uncertainty (i.e. ensemble spread) of ENS at different starting dates. Besides tha fact that both ENS and WRF-ENS data underestimate rainfall maxima in tha area of interest, results demonstrate that CP ensemble forecasts provide better prediction regarding the occurrence of extreme precipitations and the area most likely affected. We present also the activities planned in the framework of the SPITCAPE continuation for the years 2019-2021.

description: A diverse array of Vitis germplasm was screened to identify sources of resistance to grapevine fanleaf virus (GFV). The 173 accessions screened included Vitis species, cultivars, and interspecific hybrids. Since Vitis vinifera and GFV are thought to have a common origin in the Middle East, particular attention was paid to this species - 27 Middle Eastern vinifera accessions and 9 vinifera cultivars were surveyed. In addition, North American accessions of 24 Euvitis species and 2 Muscadinia species were tested, including cultivars of rotundifolia, as were accessions of 5 Asian species. The interspecific hybrids included 3 vinifera x rotundifolia (VR) hybrids known to be resistant to the feeding of Xiphinema index, the nematode vector of GFV. The vines to be tested were approach grafted to infected Cabernet Sauvignon vines and subsequently screened for the presence of the virus by ELISA. 3 GFV-resistant accessions were identified - a Middle Eastern vinifera, rotundifolia cv. Bountiful, and one of the VR hybrids. Several vinifera accessions (including some cultivars) previously reported to be GFV-resistant were susceptible in this study. These results suggest that two forms of GFV resistance, hast plant resistance and nonhost resistance, exist in Vitis germplasm.

description: Congenital heart disorders are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children, affecting an estimated 1 in 100 live births each year. These conditions often result from genetic alterations in the noncoding genome that disrupt the normal development of the heart, leading to malformations and functional impairments. Intricate epigenetic and transcriptomic dynamics govern these processes of cellular differentiation and organogenesis. However, even with the newest technologies in single-cell sequencing, it remains difficult and resource-intensive for researchers to quantify the regulatory behavior between chromatin accessibility, gene expression, and ultimately downstream changes in cell identity. Current methods to analyze single-cell sequencing data rely on mathematical simplifications for computational expediency that may not fully mirror biological reality. This study aims to advance the understanding of cardiac development by creating new AI-based computational tools to profile the epigenetic and transcriptomic landscapes simultaneously. Our novel transformer architecture achieves a high predictive accuracy by analyzing multiomic sequencing data from mouse hearts at three stages of embryonic development. Attention‐based linkage analysis not only recapitulates known temporally restricted cell type-specific regulatory interactions but also uncovers novel candidate epigenetic drivers of cardiomyocyte lineage commitment. These findings demonstrate the power of interpretable transformer models to computationally reconstruct dynamic regulatory networks, which would aid future research in elucidating the exact mechanisms of cell fate determination and pinpointing the etiologies of congenital disorders.

Toda hoja inserta en cualquiera de los 10 nudos más jóvenes de un pámpano presenta un mayor o menor grado de parasitismo. En relación con la edad, se puede establecer que, una hoja se comporta.como parásita en los 20 primeros días, pasados los cuales, su balance de exportación-importación comienza a ser positivo. Evaluation method of the parasitic apical part of shoots in Vitis vinífera L. By comparing growth of normal and of non-functional phloem leaves during a 24-h-period at the bloom stage, the degree of parasitism of each leaf was studied in Garnacha variety. Results show that a leaf behaves as parasite when it is at one of the 10 first nades from the apex, and, in terms of age, when it is less than 20 days old.

description: Dissertação de Mestrado em Ciência da Informação, 2014, Universidade Federal Fluminense (PPGCI/UFF). A proposta deste trabalho é traçar o estado da arte da altmetria, definida como o estudo, a criação e a utilização de indicadores relacionados à interação de usuários com produtos de pesquisa diversos no âmbito da Web Social – visualizações, downloads, citações, reutilizações, compartilhamentos, etiquetagens, comentários, entre outros. Para entender o contexto de surgimento da altmetria, exploramos as especificidades e potencialidades da Web Social e as características da comunicação científica. Além de constituir mais um passo na evolução dos estudos métricos da informação, a altmetria se apresenta também como reação à crise do atual modelo de publicação e avaliação na Ciência. A partir de pesquisa bibliográfica exploratória em fontes nacionais e internacionais, levantamos a produção científica sobre altmetria, identificando atores envolvidos na produção de conhecimento na área, seus conceitos, as propostas e tendências dos estudos sobre o tema; fundamentando a reflexão sobre o desenvolvimento da área e a aceitação das métricas alternativas como ferramentas da avaliação científica. Constatamos que a altmetria é uma área de estudos em expansão, cujos métodos complementam os estudos métricos tradicionais contribuindo para o entendimento mais completo da comunicação científica, seus atores, seus processos, seus produtos e seus impactos. --------------- Master's in Information Science, 2014, Universidade Federal Fluminense [Text in pt-br]. Describes the state of the art of altmetrics, defined as the study, creation and use of measures related to user interaction with diverse research products through the Social Web – views, downloads, citations, reuse, sharing, tagging, comments, among others. To understand the context where altmetrics arises, we explore the Social Web’s specificities and potentials, and the characteristics of scientific communication. Besides being another step on the evolution of metric studies of information, altmetrics also presents itself as a reaction to the crisis in the current model of scientific publication and evaluation. Through an exploratory search in national and international sources we were able to identify the scientific literature about altmetrics, analysing the authors involved, its concepts, the proposals and trends around the theme, basing our reflection about the development of altmetrics and the acceptance of alternative metrics as tools for scientific evaluation. We note that altmetrics is an expanding area, and its methods complement traditional metrics contributing to a more complete understanding of scientific communication, its actors, processes, products and impacts.

description: Indications of browning susceptibility of 80 commercial white wines were given by measures of "total phenolics", optical densities at 280 and 320 nm and compositions of the u. v. absorbing components. The monomeric catechins and dimeric procyanidins, despite their relatively low concentrations, were found to be important indicators of browning susceptibility. Ursachen der oxidativen Bräunung von Weißweinen Um Indikatoren der Bräunungsanfälligkeit zu ermitteln, wurden bei 80 Weißweinen aus Handelskellereien die „Gesamtphenole", die optische Dichte bei 280 und 320 nm sowie die Zusammensetzung der UV-absorbierenden Komponenten bestimmt. Die monomeren Katechine und die dimeren Proanthocyanidine erwiesen sich trotz ihrer relativ niedrigen Konzentration als wichtige Merkmale der Bräunungsanfälligkeit.

description: Sensory evaluation of DMS added to wines at very low concentrations has shown that addition of 0.022 μl · l-1 resulted in statistically more favoured wines than those with no, or 0.044 μl · l-1 added DMS. This shows that low concentrations of DMS can have a beneficial effect on the quality of some wines. The concentration of CS2 necessary to give any sensory response was higher than that observed in any commercial wine. The threshold of smell for DMS in distilled water was found tobe 7.5 x 10-5 μl · l-1 (0.08 ppb) while that for taste was 4 x 10-4 μl · l-1 (0.4 ppb). Der Einfluß von Dimethylsulfid und Schwefelkohlenstoff auf das Weinaroma Bei der sensorischen Beurteilung von Weinen, denen Dimethylsulfid in sehr niedrigen Konzentrationen zugesetzt worden war, wurden jene mit 0,022 μl · l-1 vor solchen ohne oder mit 0,044 μl · l-1 Dimethylsulfid bevorzugt. Geringe DMS-Mengen können demnach die Weinqualität positiv beeinflussen. Die sensorisch wahrnehmbare Schwefelkohlenstoffkonzentration war höher als die in den Weinen gefundenen Mengen. Der Geruchsschwellenwert für Dimethylsulfid in Aqua dest. betrug 7,5 x 10-5 μl · l-1, der Geschmacksschwellenwert dagegen 4 x 10-4 μl· l-1.

description: Aus Aromaanreicherungen (Dichlormethan- und Freon 11/Dichlormethan-Extrakten) verschiedener invertierter Saccharoselösungen (Invertzuckersirup, sog. „Flüssigzucker") wurden etwa 20 Inhaltsstoffe mittels GC-MS identifiziert. Der überwiegende Teil der identifizierten Komponenten entsteht bei Dehydratisierungsreaktionen aus Glucose bzw. Fructose. Das Vorkommen von 2-Hydroxyacetylfuran in Wein - eine Verbindung, die bisher weder in Süßreserven noch in Traubenmost bzw. in Weinen, die nur aus Traubenmost hergestellt wurden, nachgewiesen werden konnte - kann als ein Indiz zum Nachweis eines Zusatzes von Invertzuckerlösungen (u. a. des sog. „Flüssigzuckers") zu Traubenmost oder Wein verwendet werden. Volatile ingredients from inverted sucrose solutions ("Flüssigzucker") Approximately 20 volatile ingredients were identified by GC-MS in various inverted sucrose solutions. This was accomplished using an aroma enrichment method with Freon/dichloromethane and dichloromethane. The majority of the identified components (furan compounds) arise by dehydration reactions from glucose and fructose. The compound 2-hydroxyacetylfuran could not be found till now in wine which was fermented from grape must and also not in grape juice. Therefore the presence of 2-hydroxyacetylfuran in wine could be used as circumstantial evidence that inverted sucrose solutions (so-called "Flüssigzucker") had been added to the grape must or wine.

description: Relationships between wine colour composition and the overall quality rating were investigated by analyses of 404 young red wines in two varietal classes from three successive vintages. The wines, of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon from 20 viticultural regions of Australia, had been presented for comparative assessment at the Adelaide Wine Shows of 1974-75-76. There was a large variability in all aspects of phenolic content, in wine colour density and tint, in pH, and in levels of total SO2 and free SO2. The latter was the major influence on pigment equilibria, in which there was up to 10-fold variation in the degree of ionisation of anthocyanins (a). Positive quality factors were wine colour density, the parameter a, coloured anthocyanins, total pigments and total phenolics. Negative factors included colour tint, free SO2 and total SO2. There was no correlation with wine pH. Wide variation in winemaking practice concerning the amount and timing of SO2 additions is considered to have been responsible for much of the range in quality within these groups of wines. Qualität und Nuance von Rotwein: Schwankungen der Zusammensetzung sowie nachteiliger Einfluß von freiem SO2 Anhand der Analysen von 404 jungen Rotweinen - zwei Sorten aus drei aufeinanderfolgenden Jahrgängen - wurden die Beziehungen zwischen den Komponenten der Weinfärbung und der Gesamtnote der sensorischen Qualitätsprüfung untersucht. Die Weine, Shiraz und Cabernet Sauvignon, waren bei den Adelaide Wine Shows 1974/75/76 zur vergleichenden Beurteilung angestellt worden. Sämtliche Parameter des Phenolgehaltes, die Farbintensität und -tönung, der pH-Wert sowie der Gehalt an Gesamt-SO2 und freiem SO2 zeigten eine beträchtliche Variabilität. Das freie SO2 beeinflußte das Pigmentgleichgewicht am stärksten, wobei der Ionisationsgrad der Anthocyane (a) bis zu 10fach schwanken konnte. Positive Qualitätsfaktoren waren: Farbintensität, der Parameter a, gefärbte Anthocyane, Gesamtpigmente sowie Gesamtphenole. Zu den negativen Faktoren gehörten Farbtönung, freies SO2 und Gesamt-SO2. Keinerlei Korrelation bestand zum Wein-pH. Die unterschiedlichen Qualitätsnoten der geprüften Rotweine dürften zum Gutteil kellertechnisch, durch die beträchtlichen Schwankungen der zugesetzten SO2 -Mengen und des Behandlungszeitpunktes, bedingt sein.

description: Seedlings of Vitis berlandieri accumulated relatively small amounts of chloride in their petioles. Seedlings of V. cinerea, V. rupestris and V. champini x V. rupestris accumulated on average 3-4 times as much chloride as V. berlandieri although some individuals were comparable with V. berlandieri. The V. berlandieri x V. rupestris rootstocks 99 and 110 Richter, 140 Ruggeri and 1103 Paulsen were all comparable with the V. berlandieri seedlings. Unterschiedliche Chloridanreicherung bei amerikanischen Rebarten Sämlinge von Vitis berlandieri sammelten in ihren Blattstielen relativ geringe Chloridmengen an. Sämlinge von V. cinerea, V. rupestris und V. champini x V. rupestris reicherten durchschnittlich 3- bis 4mal soviel Chlorid an wie V. berlandieri, obgleich einzelne Individuen mit V. berlandieri vergleichbar waren. Die (V. berlandieri x V. rupestris)-Unterlagen 99 und 110 Richter, 140 Ruggeri und 1103 Paulsen zeigten alle ähnliche Chloridkonzentrationen wie die V.-berlandieri-Sämlinge.

description: The aim of this paper is to describe the processes of revising, formalising and maintaining a collection development policy for two major national data archives. Both the UK Data Archive and ICPSR have a 35+ year history during which both have seen a number of changes in their acquisitions policies and in the way in which data are acquired. In the first part of the paper, the experiences of ICPSR's recent phased policy revision in 2004-2005 is described that has resulted in a new policy approved by eminent social scientists and archivists from around the world. In the second part, the paper sets out the UKDAs' work to revise its Collections Development Policy to encompass the needs of the distributed national data service, the Economic and Social Data Service. UKDA are also now working closely with the national Research Councils to operate, more efficiently, official datasets policies both for Research Programmes and Research Grants. Work from a recent project that is supporting data creation and data management for a high investment cross-disciplinary thematic research programme that is generating some interesting yet complex data is highlighted. Both Data Archives describe their internal strategies and procedures that have been used to review existing policies and identify current best practices, trends and developments, with a view to reworking their own policies. They pay attention to detailing the internal processes that include setting up new procedures and groups to assess, oversee and monitor potential and incoming national and international data sources.
