HOW ARE ALLOTMENT GARDENS MANAGED? A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF USAGE AND DEVELOPMENT IN CONTEMPORARY URBAN SPACE IN GERMANY AND POLAND

How are allotment gardens managed? A comparative study of usage and development in contemporary urban space in Germany and Poland

This article aims to analyse the development and use of allotment gardens (AGs) and plots in Westphalia and Lippe (Germany) and Wielkopolska (Poland) to assess what functions are feasible in their current stage, thus, contributing to an ongoing discussion on the role of AGs in contemporary urban space.The analysis considered ecosystem services, gre

Phenotype frequencies of autosomal minor histocompatibility antigens display significant differences among populations.

Minor histocompatibility (H) antigens are allogeneic target molecules having significant roles in alloimmune responses after human leukocyte antigen-matched solid organ and stem cell transplantation (SCT).Minor H antigens are instrumental in the processes of transplant rejection, graft-versus-host disease, and in Gift Set the curative graft-versus-

A Novel Harmonic State-space Modelling Method on the Modular Multilevel Matrix Converter and Coupling Analysis

The fractional frequency transmission system is an emerging technology for long-distance wind power integration, and the modular multilevel matrix converter (M3C) is the keen equipment.Since the M3C directly connects two ac grids with different frequencies, the external and internal harmonics have complex coupling relationships with a unique dual-f
