The dependency of the surface morphology from the etch rate and etch depth is proven. Furthermore, the influence of the temperature and stirring rates on the morphological development for the upper and lower side of the wafer were examined. From temperature-dependent measurements, activation energies in the range from 17 kJ/mol to 40 kJ/mol on the upper side and from 23 kJ/mol to 40 kJ/mol on the lower side dependent from the etching time were determined.

Due to the rather complicated pathway of water, starting from precipitation until its uptake by trees and the final incorporation of its components into tree-ring cellulose, a closer inspection of seasonal variations of tree water uptake is important. In this study, branch and needle samples of two pine species (Pinus pinaster and Pinus nigra subsp. laricio) and several water compartments (precipitation, creek, soil) were sampled over a two-year period and analyzed for the temporal variations of their oxygen and hydrogen stable isotope ratios (δ18O and δ2H) at five sites over an elevation gradient from sea level to around 1600 m a.s.l. on the Mediterranean island of Corsica (France). A new model was established to disentangle temporal relationships of source water uptake of trees. It uses a calculation method that incorporates the two processes mostly expected to affect source water composition: mixing of waters and evaporation. The model results showed that the temporal offset from precipitation to water uptake is not constant and varies with elevation and season. Overall, seasonal source water origin was shown to be dominated by precipitation from autumn and spring. While autumn precipitation was a more important water source for trees growing at mid- (~800-1000 m a.s.l) and high-elevation (~1600 m a.s.l.) sites, trees at coastal sites mostly took up water from late winter and spring. These findings show that predicted decreases in precipitation amounts during the wet season in the Mediterranean can have strong impacts on water availability for pine trees, especially at higher elevations.}, language = {en} } @misc{KuhnBryantJenschetal., author = {Kuhn, Ramona and Bryant, Isaac Mbir and Jensch, Robert and B{\"o}llmann, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Applications of Environmental Nanotechnologies in Remediation, Wastewater Treatment, Drinking Water Treatment, and Agriculture}, series = {Applied Nano}, volume = {3}, journal = {Applied Nano}, number = {1}, issn = {2673-3501}, doi = {10.3390/applnano3010005}, pages = {54 -- 90}, abstract = {Today, nanotechnologies (NTs) are well established in both private households and commercial markets.

With regard to the growing demands for environmental resources caused by the still-growing global population, the application of NTs is an extremely important new branch in the environmental sector, delivering several advantages. Our review provides a comprehensive overview of the current developments in environmental remediation, wastewater treatment, drinking water treatment, and agriculture. More specifically, in the section on environmental remediation, we review the application of NTs towards enhanced reductive dechlorination, removal of heavy metals and remediation of oil spills. In the section on wastewater treatment, we highlight developments in the adsorption of heavy metals and persistent substances, advanced photocatalytic degradation of common wastewater pollutants, and improvements in membrane filtration processes. In the section on drinking water treatment, we discuss applications for the enhanced disinfection of pathogens, removal of heavy metals, point-of-use treatments, and the removal of organic matter. In the final section, on agriculture, we provide an overview of precision farming and the current state of the art concerning nanofertilisers, nanopesticides, nanoherbicides, and nano(bio)sensors.}, language = {en} } @book{StoehrLohwasserNoackNapolesetal., author = {St{\"o}hr, Robert and Lohwasser, Diana and Noack Napoles, Juliane and Burghardt, Daniel and Dederich, Markus and Dziabel, Nadine and Krebs, Moritz and Zirfas, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Schl{\"u}sselwerke der Vulnerabilit{\"a}tsforschung}, publisher = {Springer VS}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-20304-7}, pages = {VIII, 280}, language = {de} } @techreport{ThonickeRahnerArnethetal., author = {Thonicke, Kirsten and Rahner, Eva and Arneth, Almut and Bartkowski, Bartosz and Bonn, Aletta and D{\"o}hler, Christian and Finger, Robert and Freitag, Jens and Grosch, Rita and Grossart, Hans-Peter and Gr{\"u}tzmacher, Kim and Hartman Scholz, Amber and H{\"a}user, Christoph and Hickler, Thomas and H{\"o}lker, Franz and J{\"a}hnig, Sonja C. and Jeschke, Jonathan and Kassen, Rees and Kastner, Thomas and Kramer-Schadt, Stephanie and Krug, Cornelia and Lakner, Sebastian and Loft, Lasse and Matzdorf, Bettina and Meakins, Felicity and De Meester, Luc and Monaghan, Michael T. and M{\"u}ller, Daniel and Overmann, J{\"o}rg and Quaas, Martin and Radchuk, Viktoriia and Reyer, Christopher and Roos, Christian and Scholz, Imme and Schroer, Sibylle and Sioen, Giles Bruno and Sommer, Simone and Sommerwerk, Nike and Tockner, Klement and Turk, Zachary and Warner, Barbara and W{\"a}tzold, Frank and Wende, Wolfgang and Veenstra, Tonjes and Voort, Hein van de}, title = {10 Must-Knows aus der Biodiversit{\"a}tsforschung}, publisher = {Potsdam-Institut f{\"u}r Klimafolgenforschung e.V.

The Mediterranean region is one of the hotspots of future climate change; therefore, data on the water cycle are urgently needed. We measured oxygen isotope compositions in creek water, precipitation, stem water, needle water, and tree-ring cellulose over one growing season to establish the relationship between isotope compositions in different compartments along a fractionation pathway. We analyzed plant material from pine trees (Pinus nigra J.F. Arn subsp. laricio (Poiret) Maire var. Corsicana Hyl. and Pinus pinaster Aiton) at five locations along an elevation gradient from sea level to 1600 m asl. We traced back the oxygen isotope composition from source to sink in tree-ring cellulose in order to identify the water sources used by the trees, and to quantify the extent of isotope fractionation processes. Our results showed that the trees used different water sources over the course of the growing season, ranging from winter snow meltwater to summer precipitation at higher sites and deep soil water reservoirs at coastal sites. Needle water enrichment was higher at higher elevation sites than at coastal locations, highlighting the importance of site-specific climate conditions on the isotopic composition values in tree material. Water availability seems to be most restricted at the highest site, making these trees most vulnerable to climate change.}, language = {en} } @misc{KnerrTrachteEglietal., author = {Knerr, Isabel and Trachte, Katja and Egli, Sebastian and Barth, Johannes A.

A potential, but not very widespread source of water is the presence of near-ground clouds, mostly fog. In this study, we investigate fog-low stratus (FLS) frequencies in Corsica, derived from a data set of Meteosat Second Generation SEVIRI, whereby a distinction between fog and low stratus is hardly feasible using remote sensing data. The FLS frequency was studied with respect to its interaction with distinct locally-generated wind and its dependence on the planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) obtained by ERA5 reanalysis (the fifth generation of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, ECMWF). Results show that radiation FLS is formed in coastal areas at sunrise, with low PBLH. On the other hand, in the interior of the island at sunset, a maximum of advection FLS is formed, fostered by locally-generated and related transport of moisture. On the east side of the island, FLS frequency is lower throughout the year due to frequent lee situations. This situation is reinforced by reduced synoptic moisture transport by westerly winds, so that westerly exposed slopes benefit from moisture input by FLS formation.}, language = {en} } @misc{LuetznerDeckertLangeetal., author = {L{\"u}tzner, J{\"o}rg and Deckert, Stefanie and Lange, Toni and Postler, Anne Elisabeth and Aringer, Martin and Berth, Hendrik and Bork, Hartmut and Dreinh{\"o}fer, Karsten E and G{\"u}nther, Klaus-Peter and Heller, Karl-Dieter and Hube, Robert and Kirschner, Stephan and Kladny, Bernd and Kopkow, Christian and Sabatowski, Rainer and Stoeve, Johannes and Wagner, Richard and L{\"u}tzner, Cornelia}, title = {Evidenzbasierte und patientenorientierte Indikationsstellung zur Knieendoprothese - Update der Leitlinie}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Orthop{\"a}die und Unfallchirurgie}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Orthop{\"a}die und Unfallchirurgie}, publisher = {Georg Thieme Verlag KG}, issn = {1864-6697}, doi = {10.1055/a-2288-7254}, abstract = {ZusammenfassungDie Implantation einer Knieendoprothese z{\"a}hlt mit ca. 170000 Eingriffen pro Jahr zu den am h{\"a}ufigsten station{\"a}r durchgef{\"u}hrten Operationen in Deutschland.

This paper analyses the pseudo-uniform memory latency on the Intel Xeon Phi Knights Corner processor, derives strategies for the optimised placement of important variables, and discusses the role of localised coordination in pUMA systems.
