Disquiet before the Storm

چکیده
How strongly and how quickly will the disruptive changes in auto manufacture impact on the plastics industry? This question lay at the heart of the 11th Akro Dia(hr)log conference held on May 9 and 10 in Niederzissen, Germany. Some 120 customers, development partners, and interested participants were welcomed by Akro-Plastic GmbH at their headquarters. With “Automotive industry, quo vadis?”, Andreas Stuber, Managing Director of Akro-Plastic, chose a very general title referencing the bible. To the question “Lord, where are you going” asked by Peter in Chapter 13, verse 36 of St John’s gospel, Jesus replied “Where I am going, you cannot follow now, but you will follow later.” In the transferred sense, this could be an OEM replying to its suppliers. Above all, there was palpable nervousness among participants with regard to the changes arising from electromobility.

متن کاملEffect of a major ice storm on understory light conditions in an old-growth Acer–Fagus forest: Pattern of recovery over seven years
We evaluated the effects of a major ice storm on understory light conditions (%PPFD, photosynthetic photon flux density) in an old-growth Acer–Fagus forest in Quebec, based on preand post-disturbance light measurements taken until the seventh growing season after the event (which occurred in January 1998). Before the ice storm, most microsites received between 2 and 4%PPFD. Following the ice st...

The density of neustonic plastic particles was compared to that of zooplankton in the coastal ocean near Long Beach, California. Two trawl surveys were conducted, one after an extended dry period when there was little land-based runoff, the second shortly after a storm when runoff was extensive. On each survey, neuston samples were collected at five sites along a transect parallel to shore usin...
