Diversity and use of trees and shrubs in smallholder farming • Accepted: 27/Oct/2020 systems in the Colombian Andes. Caldasia 43(1):49–64. doi: https://dx.doi.org/10.15446/caldasia.v43n1.84230. • Online Publishing: 9/Nov/2020 ABSTRACT This article describes the diversity and use of trees and shrubs in smallholder farming systems in three municipalities of the department of Boyacá in the Colombian Andes, and tests the relations between spe- cies richness, use, and a set of socio-economic and structural variables. We conducted ethnobotanical walks and semi-structured interviews on 24 farms to characterize all tree and shrub species. In total, we recorded 142 species with a predominance of natives (88) versus exotics (54). Species richness ranged between four and 40 (X = 25.17; SD = 10.13) per farm and was homogeneous among the municipalities (P > 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test). We recorded 52 wild species, eight of them endemic, all representative of the surrounding native flora, of which 23 % had some type of use. Cultivated species were mostly represented by exotics that had been planted primarily as live fences, ornamentals, or edibles.

  • Mission Analysis and Preliminary Re-Entry Trajectory Design of the DLR Reusability Flight Experiment Refex
    8TH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE SCIENCES (EUCASS) Mission Analysis and Preliminary Re-entry Trajectory Design of the DLR Reusability Flight Experiment ReFEx Sven Stappert*, Peter Rickmers*, Waldemar Bauer*, Martin Sippel* *German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Space Systems, Robert-Hooke-Straße 7, 28359 Bremen [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Driven by the recently increased demand for investigating reusable launchers, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is currently developing the Reusability Flight Experiment (ReFEx). The goal is to demonstrate the capability of performing an atmospheric re-entry, representative of a possible future winged reusable stage, and to develop and test key technologies for such reusable stages. The flight demonstrator ReFEx shall perform a controlled and autonomous re-entry from hypersonic velocity of approximately Mach 5 down to subsonic velocity after separation from the VSB-30 booster. The focus of this paper is the re-entry trajectory design for the ReFEx mission.

Wagner Annual, biennial or perennial herbs, caulescent, with a taproot or woody branching caudex, occasionally with rhizomes. Stems one to several, simple or much branched. Leaves alternate, basal rosette leaves largest, decreasing in size upward, entire or toothed, often lyrate below, shortly petiolate below to subsessile above; stipules absent. Flowers perfect, zygomorphic to sometimes actino- morphic, forming a spicate raceme, not leafy, opening near sunset or near sunrise. Floral tube distinct, cylindric, deciduous soon after anthesis. Sepals (3 or)4, reflexed, green or yellowish. Petals (3 or)4, white, fading to reddish, rarely yellow, usually abruptly clawed. Stamens (6 or)8. Anthers versatile; pollen shed singly. Ovary with (3 or)4 locules, with 1(or 2) ovules per locule; stigma divided into (3 or)4 short linear lobes, receptive all around, and subtended by a ± conspicuous ringlike indusium. Fruit an indehiscent nutlike capsule with hard walls, broadly fusiform to subcylindric, terete to sharply (3 or)4-angled, sessile or basal portion sterile and stipelike. Seeds (1 or)2–4 per capsule, irregularly ovoid. 2n = 14, 28, 42, 56. Twenty-one species: C and E North America to C Mexico; one species (naturalized) in China. Two other species are known from cultivation. Gaura lindheimeri Engelmann & A.

IAC-13.E.6.1.6 COMPETITIONS, GAMES AND PRIZES - MEANS FOR ADVANCED SPACE RESEARCH? L. Summerera,∗, A. Galvezb, D. Izzoa, F. Salzgeberc, A. de Clercqc, P. Manesc aESA Advanced Concepts Team, Keplerlaan 1, 2201 Noordwijk, The Netherlands bESA General Studies Programme, rue Mario Nikis, 75015 Paris, France cESA Technology Transfer Programme, Keplerlaan 1, 2201 Noordwijk, The Netherlands Abstract The traditional main mechanisms to advance science and technology in the space sector have recently been complemented by the use of competitions, prizes and games. Historically competitions and ex-ante prizes have played an important role among the tools of governments to stimulate innovation and advance science and technologies. Triggered by the success of the Ansari X-Prize in late 1990s / early 2000, these mechanisms have steadily gained grounds and supporters, also among governments. Scholarly literature on the effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages of these methods is emerging but still scarce. Most of the available scholarly literature assesses their impact based on US case studies and examples. The present paper provides a first analysis of these mechanisms and tools within the European Space Agency (ESA), based on three different areas: scientific research within its Advanced Concepts Team, business and innovation oriented competitions and prizes within the technology transfer programme and system level studies within the General Studies Programme. The ESA Advanced Concepts Team has experimented and used new ways of engaging with the larger scientific community via the use of scientific competitions, online games and scientific crowdsourcing experiments.

Macdonald, Jamie K. Reaser, Chris Bright, Laurie E. Neville, Geoffrey W. Howard, Sean J. Murphy, and Guy Preston 1 This report is a product of a workshop entitled Prevention and Management of Invasive Alien Species: Forging Cooperation throughout Southern Africa, held by the Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP) in Lusaka, Zambia on 10-12 June 2002. It was sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental Affairs (OESI) grant S-LMAQM-00-H-0167. In-kind assistance was provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Administrative and logistical assistance was provided by the Zambian Ministry of Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources, the U.S. Embassy in Lusaka, Zambia, the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE), and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), as well as all Steering Committee members. The Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History and National Botanical Institute, South Africa kindly provided support during report production. The editors thank Dr Phoebe Barnard of the GISP Secretariat for her very extensive work to finalize the report. The workshop was co-chaired by the Governments of the Republic of Zambia and the United States of America, and by the Global Invasive Species Programme.
