Die thermische Bekämpfung von Holzschädlingen erfordert wegen der geringen Wärmeleitfähigkeit von Holz lange Behandlungszeiten und kann zur Rissbildung führen. Hier wurde die thermische Behandlung mittels Radio- und Mikrowellen untersucht. Die direkte, dielektrische Erwärmung hat den Vorteil einer größeren Homogenität der Aufheizung. Die mit Radiowellen erzielten Temperaturprofile waren homogener als die mit Mikrowellen realisierten. Untersuchungen zeigten, dass die Abtötung nicht auf die direkte Einwirkung von elektromagnetischen Feldern, sondern auf die Temperaturerhöhung zurückzuführen ist.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Thermal pest control requires long treatment times due to the low thermal conductivity of wood and may lead to the formation of cracks. Here, the thermal treatment with radio waves as well as microwaves has been studied. The direct dielectric heating has the advantage of a good homogeneity. The obtained temperature profiles for radio waves were more homogeneous compared to microwaves. Detailed studies showed that elimination of pests was not related to the application of the electromagnetic field itself, but due to the temperature increase.
Etymologically, nature and culture are considered to be extreme opposites and the doctrines behind them-the natural sciences and the humanities-seldom overlap. However, at all times nature has influenced culture in many different ways. Cultural entomology describes these influences from the entomological side of view. Insects had and still have an enormous impact on all parts of the human intellectual life including language, literature, music, arts, philosophy, religion, and so on. Additionally, insects have changed the course of history more than once.
The following overview presents well-known and less well-known examples of how insects influenced human work. Certainly, some insects like bees, flies and butterflies are more dominant than others in this respect, according to their economic importance, their overall synanthropic presence or simply their beauty.
