  • The Making of a Botanist
    The Making of a Botanist The centennial celebration of the Arnold Arboretum pays deserved tribute to the men who fashioned the "worn-out farm" 1 into one of the world’s greatest parks and botanical in- stitutions. There is an interesting parallel here with a park in East Germany, the park in Muskau, Upper Lusatia, which too was fashioned from seemingly unpromising material into one of the outstanding parks of Germany and western Europe by the devotion and energies of a few men. A close personal tie exists as well. Alfred Rehder, who served the Arboretum for fifty-one years, next only to Sargent in length of service, was the grandson of one of the men who laid the foundations of the greatness of the park in Muskau. This personal tie, and the obvious likelihood that Alfred Rehder’s interest and training were influenced by his family background, led the editors of Arnoldia to suggest that an article on this subject would be appropriate at this time. To go back over a century and a half to the story of the founding of the park in Muskau 2 takes us to the spring of 1815. The long wars of the French Revolution and Napoleon were coming to an end, though for the moment, seemingly rekindled by the Emperor’s dramatic return from Elba. Seven weeks before Waterloo, on May lst, Count Hermann Puckler,3 heir since the death of his father four years earlier to the feudal domain of Muskau, issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of the town announcing his intention to devote himself to the man- agement of his inheritance and to transform a large part of the domain lands into a landscape park on the English model.

  • Research News 12 | 2015 ||
    RESEARCH NEWS 12 | 2015 || 1 Offshore wind farms – measuring buoy reduces costs Building and operating offshore wind farms is an expensive business. To be able to estimate the profitability of the plants, first the wind potential must be determined. Fraunhofer researchers have now created a wind measurement buoy with sophistica- ted, precise measurement technology that supplies the necessary data. 2 Growing stem cells faster on seaweed Alginate forms a kind of supporting skeleton in the cell walls of certain kinds of algae. Fraunhofer scientists use the gel-like mass from Chilean seaweed as the substrate for stem cells. They can flexibly adjust the pore size and elasticity of the alginate, and it transports active ingredients and has better optical characteristics than plastic materials. 3 Meat and Bone Meal as a Source of Phosphorus Slaughterhouse waste is processed into meat and bone meal and subsequently fed to livestock or incinerated. This meal could be put to better use, though. It contains phosphorus, a scarce mineral used as fertilizer. A new system burns meal, producing ash that could be used as the raw material for phosphorus fertilizer. 4 Electric cars: batteries with brains The battery is the heart of the electric car. Fraunhofer researchers have developed an energy storage device which is significantly more cost-effective over the entire life cycle in comparison with previous models. If one of the more than one hundred battery cells is defective, it can be replaced easily. Until now, the entire battery had to be replaced. 5 Door manufacturers benefit from simulation tools Building burglary-resistent doors with thermal insulation is a challenge for manufactur- ers.
