Closing the mineral cycle in dairy farming	08-09-2021	08-10-2021	Lely Sphere allows dairy farmers to limit the emissions of ammonia from their barns significantly, use the captured ammonia as fertiliser, and divide the animal manure into two mineral streams, giving the farmer the ability to optimise fertilisation for crops and soils by using the value of emissions.

Coniferous forests in the Mediterranean: an ecosystem of vital importance, threatened by forest management deficit	06-09-2021	04-10-2021	Forests constitute a fundamental piece of the territorial landscape. They supply raw materials, protect settlements, infrastructures, regulate the hydrological cycle and purification of water. In the context of the climate crisis, the role that forests play is in mitigating climate change, being the main terrestrial carbon sink of the Land Use Sector, Changes in Land Use and Forestry (LULUCF).

Quantum computers are coming! But how to use their potential?	06-09-2021	04-10-2021	Quantum computing is becoming a reality, but automated methods and software tools for this technology are just beginning. DA QC project aims to develop automatic and efficient methods, e.g. for simulation, compilation, or verification of quantum circuits and will exploit design automation expertise proven powerful for conventional circuits and systems hardly utilised in quantum computing.

What computational sciences can do for your heart	03-09-2021	04-10-2021	Most people know someone suffering from cardiovascular disease. There are 15 million people in Europe currently living with heart failure. Not only does the condition lead to a lasting and significant impact on physical health, but it also affects overall well-being, manifesting in issues such as anxiety or mood swings.

PROmoting integrity in the use of RESearch results	03-09-2021	04-10-2021	Good, effective policymaking—that produces outcomes that benefit, protect and sustain society, communities, groups and individuals - depends upon robust, rigorous, and interpretable research. If research is flawed by lack of integrity and by being unethically conducted, it is of no use to policymakers.

How does the viability of bone-restricted osteocytes regulate bone atrophy?	03-09-2021	04-10-2021	Although the skeleton appears stiff and solid, it is, in fact, a dynamic and sensitive network, demanding a fine balance between the bone-resorbing osteoclasts and the bone-forming osteoblasts. Disruption of this homeostasis frequently leads to exaggerated bone degradation by osteoclasts, manifesting in pathological bone loss.

From advanced aircraft design to drug delivery	03-09-2021	04-10-2021	The sonic boom of aircraft has been known since the early days of supersonic aviation. It both fascinates and frightens mankind, even today. Put simply, a flying object that moves faster than the air in front of it can be pushed away causes a very strong and fast compression of the air.	Nikolaus (Prof. Dr.-Ing.)	A.

The long road to determine microplastic trends in a Baltic Sea catchment	03-09-2021	04-10-2021	The behaviour and accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in the marine environment has been studied for years but is still poorly understood. In this context, the interdisciplinary MicroCatch_Balt consortium, consisting of environmental scientists, microbiologists, modellers, computer scientists, and ocean managers, is investigating the significance of land-based inputs as a source of MPs into the ocean.

Spectrally resolved outgoing longwave radiation and its applications for the study of climate	03-09-2021	04-10-2021	Earth’s climate is determined by the flow of energy coming in and out of the Earth-atmosphere system. When reaching the atmosphere, a fraction (about 30 percent) of the incoming Sun’s radiation is directly reflected into space. The remaining part is absorbed by the atmosphere and Earth’s surface and reemitted as heat back into space.

Wage inequality within and across firms: the role of market forces, government and firm policies	03-09-2021	04-10-2021	Wage inequality has increased sharply in many industrialised countries over the past decades. In Germany, for example, real (i.e. inflation-adjusted) wages at the bottom 10 percent of the wage distribution declined by more than 15 percent between 1995 and 2010, whereas real wages at the top 10 percent of the wage distribution rose by more than 12 percent over the same period.

How to unmask unique vulnerabilities in leukaemia	03-09-2021	04-10-2021	Acute myeloid leukaemias (AML) include a greatly heterogeneous group of haematologic malignancies that affects about 3–4 per 100,000 individuals yearly, resulting in 15–20,000 newly diagnosed patients each year in Europe. AML most commonly affects elderly people, with a median age that has reached 70 years.

The collapse of atmospheric turbulence	03-09-2021	04-10-2021	Many of us are fascinated by the daily weather. After all, continuously changing weather patterns affect the majority of our activities and plans. Yet, although we are familiar with day-time weather phenomena, such as the appearance of fair-weather clouds, most of us have not have realised that ‘night-time’ weather can be just as fascinating and relevant.

The lower emissions Brenner Corridor	03-09-2021	04-10-2021	European city authorities are implementing low emission zones (LEZs) in the fight to tackle high concentrations of air pollutants produced by urban traffic.1These zones protect specific areas by prohibiting or severely discouraging the access of the most pollutant vehicles.
