Abstract: A method for applying a spray to a field using an agricultural spraying device. The method includes: monitoring a field section of the field having plants, using an optical and/or infrared detection unit; identifying at least one row of plants in the monitored field section using a processing unit; using the processing unit, defining a plant region including the at least one identified row of plants in a specified evaluation portion of the monitored field section, using the at least one identified row of plants and a weed region different from the plant region; ascertaining a plant value of the weed region in the specified evaluation portion of the monitored field section using the processing unit; and applying the spray to the weed region of the specified evaluation portion as a function of the ascertained plant value, using spray nozzles of the agricultural spraying device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising Low Molecular Weight-Arabinoxylan (LMW-AX) with branched oligosaccharides, preferably at least one branched oligosaccharides is positioned at or adjacent to a reducing end of the LMW-AX backbone. The present invention also relates to the production and use thereof. The present invention further relates to a composition comprising Low Molecular Weight-Arabinoxylan (LMW-AX) with oligosaccharides, where a fraction of the Araf units have been removed to improve the yield of oligosaccharides.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for measuring gut health comprising the steps of: a) collecting or receiving at least one, preferably two faecal samples, preferably three or more faecal samples from a human or animal, and the sample comprises markers; b) using the sample of step a), to generate output databased on a composition and/or function and/or metabolic activity of gut microbiota; c) measuring output data in relation to level and/or stability of one or more marker sand/or relation between different markers to generate a result on gut health.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling fiber intake in mammals, comprising the steps: a) providing at least one input data; b) based on said input data, generating at least one output data; wherein the input data is based on information selected from the group consisting of host DNA, host metabolism, host colonic microbial composition, gene activity, metabolic activity, host specific parameters, and any combinations thereof wherein the output data is selected from the group consisting of information on fiber consumption, fiber supplementation and, any combinations thereof. The present invention further relates to a system and use of said method.

Abstract: The present invention related to an arabinoxylo-oligosaccharide composition comprising at least one arabinose unit linked to one of the xylose units of the backbone, per molecule, wherein the at least one arabinose unit is an ?-L-arabinofuranosyl, wherein said composition has an xylo-oligosaccharide backbone with a degree of polymerization of 1-10.

Abstract: A control device for the parking lock of a motor vehicle has at least one actuating drive (46) that can be operated by triggering devices and with which a locking device (11) can be moved between engaged and disengaged positions. For reliable operation, at least two independent triggering devices are provided and a change in position takes place only if both triggering devices (56, 58) are actuated. Preferably a hydraulic piston (46) brings the parking lock into its disengaged position when subjected to pressure. The triggering devices are constructed as solenoids (56, 58) under the control of two electrical controllers (140, 142) that undertake an evaluation of relevant control and measurement parameters.
