Open AccessA Review of Ultrasonic Reflectometry for the Physical Characterization of Lubricated Tribological Contacts: History, Methods, Devices, and Technological Trends
Although “film thickness” and “viscosity” represent two of the most important physical parameters in lubricated tribological contacts, their in situ measurement in tribosystems is still difficult. Sensors base...

Are immunosuppressive conditions and preoperative corticosteroid treatment risk factors in inguinal hernia repair?
Immunosuppressive conditions and/or preoperative corticosteroid treatment have a negative influence on wound healing and can, therefore, lead to higher rates of surgical site infections (SSIs) and seromas. For...

Reduction of deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination by improved fungicide use in wheat. Part 1. Dependence on epidemic severity and resistance level in small plot tests with artificial inoculation.
Fungicide control of FHB of wheat generally has poor efficacy and mostly susceptible cultivars are grown. Therefore, the toxin risk is high. We developed a more efficient control by combining an improved resis...

Reduction of deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination by improved fungicide use in wheat. Part 3. Reduction of Fusarium head blight and influence on quality traits in cultivars with different resistance levels
Earlier published papers analyzed different quality traits indicating only slight changes in quality following Fusarium head blight (FHB) infection and no strong improvement after fungicide application. Theref...

Reduction of deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination by improved fungicide use in wheat. Part 2. Farm scale tests with different nozzle types and updating the integrated approach
Fungicidal control of Fusarium head blight (FHB) of wheat with fungicides generally has poor efficacy (0–40%). However, small plot trials prove that a 70–90% reduction in toxin contamination is possible. We co...
