Locally grown lavender was collected fresh for this purpose, and its oil was extracted using the cold-press method. The resultant LEO and LM and whole lavender (WL) were added to dairy cow concentrate feed at 0\%, 0.05\%, and 0.10\%, and their effects on vitro gas production values and gas concentrations were subsequently assessed. Out of the 30 bioactive compounds isolated from LEO, linalool and linalyl acetate were the most common—accounting for 70.4\% of the total. The lavender dose had a significant influence on gas production for up to 12 h. No significant variations were found across the lavender forms when gas kinetics, in vitro degradability, and predicted energy values were compared. The addition of WL to the concentrate feed of dairy cows produced the greatest quantities of methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide, whereas LEO resulted in the lowest values. In contrast, no significant difference in ammonia content was found across the various lavender forms added into dairy cow concentrate feed. The results of this research suggest that adding 0.05-0.10\% LM and LEO to concentrate feed may decrease greenhouse gas emissions from dairy cows.}, subject = {lavender}, language = {en} } @article{BesharatiPalangiNiazifaretal., author = {Besharati, Maghsoud and Palangi, Valiollah and Niazifar, Masoumeh and Esen, Selim and Lackner, Maximilian}, title = {A Comprehensive Analysis of Cinnamon, Flaxseed, and Lemon Seed Essential Oils' Effects on In Vitro Gas Formation and Nutrient Degradability in Diets}, series = {Fermentation}, volume = {9}, journal = {Fermentation}, number = {6}, doi = {10.3390/fermentation9060504}, abstract = {This study aimed to assess the impact of essential oils (EOs) on in vitro gas formation and the degradability of dairy and beef cattle diets. This study also aimed to investigate the effects of different types of EOs on nutrient utilization and rumen microbial activity. The current study was conducted using a fully randomized design consisting of eight experimental treatments, including two control treatments without any additives, and treatments with cinnamon essential oil (CEO), flaxseed essential oil (FEO), and lemon seed essential oil (LEO) at a concentration of 60 mg/kg fresh mass. Two control treatments were used, one with alfalfa silage and dairy concentrate (DC, CON-DC) and the other with alfalfa silage and fattening concentrate (FC, CON-FC). Gas formation, dry matter (DM) digestibility, crude protein (CP) digestibility, effective degradability (ED), and soluble fractions of DM and organic matter (OM) were evaluated. CEO had a substantial effect on gas formation (p < 0.05). When EOs were added to the diets, they increased dry matter digestibility after 24 h of incubation as compared to control treatments. After 24 h of incubation, FCCEO and FCFEO had the highest CP digestibility among the diets. FCLEO considerably enhanced ED, as well as the soluble fraction of DM (a) at a passage rate of 2\% per hour. Treatment with FCCEO resulted in a significant increase in soluble fractions compared to the control diets. At a passage rate of 2\% h, DCCEO had the maximum ED value. When EOs were introduced to the diet, they dramatically decreased the insoluble portion of CP (b). Compared to the control treatments, gas production was significantly lower in the presence of LEO (FCLEO; p < 0.05). The addition of EOs to cattle diets may increase nutrient utilization and enhance rumen microbial activity. EOs extracted from lemon seeds (at a dose of 60 mg/kg of diet) lowered gas production in both dairy cattle and fattening diets.}, subject = {Digestibility}, language = {en} } @article{TomaschMaleinerHromadaetal., author = {Tomasch, Janine and Maleiner, Babette and Hromada, Carina and Szwarc-Hofbauer, Dorota and Teuschl-Woller, Andreas}, title = {Cyclic Tensile Stress Induces Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy and Myonuclear Accretion in a 3D Model}, series = {Tissue Eng.

Herein, we study the adaptation to mechanical stress and its underlying molecular mechanisms in a tissue-engineered skeletal muscle model. We subjected differentiated 3D skeletal muscle-like constructs to cyclic tensile stress using a custom-made bioreactor system, which resulted in immediate activation of stress-related signal transducers (Erk1/2, p38). Cell cycle re-entry, increased proliferation, and onset of myogenesis indicated subsequent myoblast activation. Furthermore, elevated focal adhesion kinase and β-catenin activity in mechanically stressed constructs suggested increased cell adhesion and migration. After 3 days of mechanical stress, gene expression of the fusogenic markers MyoMaker and MyoMixer, myotube diameter, myonuclear accretion, as well as S6 activation, were significantly increased. Our results highlight that we established a promising tool to study sustained adaptation to mechanical stress in healthy, hypertrophic, or regenerating skeletal muscle.}, subject = {fibrin}, language = {en} } @article{KrizekMairhofer, author = {Krizek, Gerd Christian and Mairhofer, Lukas}, title = {Notions of Completeness in the EPR Discussion}, series = {Entropy}, volume = {25}, journal = {Entropy}, number = {4}, doi = {10.3390/e25040585}, abstract = {We explore the different notions of completeness applied in the EPR discussion following and amending the thorough analysis of Arthur Fine. To this aim, we propose a classification scheme for scientific theories that provides a methodology for analyzing the different levels at which interpretive approaches come into play. This allows us to contrast several concepts of completeness that operate on specific levels of the theory. We introduce the notion of theory completeness and compare it with the established notions of Born completeness, Schr{\"o}dinger completeness and bijective completeness. We relate these notions to the recent concept of ????-completeness and predictable completeness. The paper shows that the EPR argument contains conflicting versions of completeness. The confusion of these notions led to misunderstandings in the EPR debate and hindered its progress. Their clarification will thus contribute to recent debates on interpretational issues of quantum mechanics. Finally, we discuss the connection between the EPR paper and the Einstein-Rosen paper with regard to the question of completeness.}, subject = {quantum mechanics}, language = {en} } @misc{WeiszKrizekEmbacher, author = {Weisz, Gudrun and Krizek, Gerd Christian and Embacher, Franz}, title = {Das eLab der FH Technikum Wien und der Einsatz von Lernvideos in den standardisierten Bachelor-Mathematiklehrveranstaltungen}, subject = {Hochschuldidaktik}, language = {de} } @article{LangerLietze, author = {Langer, Karin and Lietze, Stefanie}, title = {Schreibwerkstatt.

During the in situ technique, the samples were incubated at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 48 h. For the description of the ruminal DM (dry matter) and CP (crude protein) degradation kinetics of treated and untreated Vicia ervilia, different models were selected as the best fit for the dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) degradation parameters of steam flaked samples. The results showed that both the steam flaking and microwave treatment samples contained high levels of non-protein nitrogen and buffer soluble protein, respectively. In comparison with steam flaking and microwave treatment, roasting decreased and increased the buffer soluble protein and neutral detergent insoluble protein, respectively. The control treatments showed the highest levels of neutral detergent soluble protein and the lowest levels of acid detergent soluble protein. Moreover, steam flaking and roasting decreased and increased the amount of acid detergent insoluble protein, respectively. When using dry heat (microwave and roasting), the acid detergent soluble and insoluble protein fractions were increased. As a result of this experiment, the nitrogen fractions were altered using heat processing. Hence, protein fermented feed and ruminal fermentation conditions can be expressed using these results.}, subject = {Vicia ervilia}, language = {en} } @article{HimmelstossJungmayer, author = {Himmelstoß, Felix and Jungmayer, Michael}, title = {Resonante ZCS Konverter mit beschr{\"a}nktem Arbeitsbereich}, series = {e \& i Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik}, journal = {e \& i Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik}, number = {140}, doi = {10.1007/s00502-022-01113-1}, pages = {123 -- 131}, abstract = {DC/DC-Konverter wandeln eine Eingangsspannung in eine Ausgangsspannung.
