Nachhaltigkeitsreporting für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen
Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung verfolgt die Ziele, über die Nachhaltigkeitsleistungen eines Unternehmens zu berichten, diese bewertbar zu machen und im Sinne eines Regelkreisgedankens des Controllings zu steuern. Im Zuge dieser Studie wurden vorwiegend kleine und mittlere Unternehmen aus dem westlichen Münsterland zum aktuellen Stand ihrer Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattung befragt. Dabei wurden sowohl die auf die Unternehmen eingehenden ESG-Anforderungen, etwaig genutzte Rahmenwerke der Berichterstattung, die innerbetriebliche Organisation des Nachhaltigkeitsmanagements und die Erwartungen der Unternehmen betrachtet
Hydration shell effects in ac-driven single-molecule junctions
We propose a quantum-mechanical model to calculate the current through a single molecular junction immersed in a solvent and surrounded by a thin shell of bound water under an applied ac voltage. The solvent plus hydration shell are captured by a dielectric continuum model for which the resulting spectral density is determined. Here the dielectric properties, e.g., the Debye relaxation time and the dielectric constant, of the bulk solvent and the hydration shell as well as the shell thickness directly enter. We determine the charge current through the molecular junction under an ac voltage in the sequential tunneling regime where we solve a quantum master equation by a real-time diagrammatic technique. Interestingly, the Fourier components of the charge current show an exponential-like decline when the hydration shell thickness increases. Finally, we apply our findings to binary solvent mixtures with varying volume fractions and find that the current is highly sensitive to both the hydration shell thickness as well as the volume fraction of the solvent mixture, giving rise to possible applications as shell and concentration sensors on the molecular scale
Small spherical UAV: First test
The video shows the first test of a small spherical UAV (35 cm) with 4 rotors for missions in complex environments such as buildings, caves or tunnels. The spherical design protects the vehicle's internal components and allows the UAV to roll over the ground when the environment allows. The drone can land and take off in any position and come into contact with objects without endangering the propellers and can restart even after crashes
