The invention prevents the condensation of water forming on the traverse heads of a wooden beam ceiling when the building is insulated internally. Using heat conduction plates enables energy-saving temperature control of the beam head area and thus durable renovation of a wooden beam ceiling.
The new type of solar cells contains copper oxide phases as a photovoltaic absorber film in combination with e.g. AlGaN, ZnMgO, or ZnBeO thin film. These are non-toxic and their production is possible in industrial scale (e.g. using the cathode sputtering technique) and with low energy consumption.
Food-borne salmonella infections are mostly arising from poultry or pigs. While actions have been taken for poultry there has only been minor success for a pig vaccine. Scientists at the University of Veterinary Medicine Hanover developed a marker vaccine for pigs, which allows differentiation of vaccinated and infected animals.
The present innovation provides lid and housing of a container with magnets in order to connect those reversibly and safely with each other.
Scientists from the universities of Melbourne and Göttingen have gained new insights into the complex stochastic patterns of opening and closing observed in…
