Effects and Prerequisites of Self-Generation in Inquiry-Based Learning
(2020-10-10)
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of self-generation in inquiry-based learning and to identify the role of feedback. While open-ended inquiry-based learning with a high degree of self-generation requirements has long been considered optimal for facilitating effective learning, its long-run effects have been critically challenged. This study employed a 3 (learning condition) × 2 (retention interval) mixed factorial design (N = 98). An inquiry activity involving the self-generation of content knowledge ...

Freundschaften, Symmetrien und Markierungen von Differenz
(2021-06-03)
Der folgende Beitrag nimmt ausgehend von einem Forschungsvorhaben, welches Kinder als ‚Stakeholder‘ in Kindertageseinrichtungen adressiert, in den Blick, wie Kinder im Kontext institutioneller Arrangements Peer- und Freundschaftsbeziehungen zum Thema machen. Es zeigt sich, dass die Formen der Thematisierung von verbindlichen „Wir“-Erzählungen bis zu komplexen, asymmetrischen Beziehungserfahrungen reichen.

Improving Vertical Wind Speed Extrapolation Using Short-Term Lidar Measurements
(2020-03-29)
This study investigates how short-term lidar measurements can be used in combination with a mast measurement to improve vertical extrapolation of wind speed. Several methods are developed and analyzed for their performance in estimating the mean wind speed, the wind speed distribution, and the energy yield of an idealized wind turbine at the target height of the extrapolation. These methods range from directly using the wind shear of the short-term measurement to a classification approach based on commonly available ...

Laser welding of grey cast iron with spheroidal graphite-influence of process parameters on crack formationand hardness
(2021-03-24)
In the investigation at hand, sheets of ferritic and pearlitic grey cast iron with spheroidalgraphite are welded using a fiber-laser. The influence of varying laser power and welding speed onthe macroscopic characteristics of the weld seam and crack formation are analyzed and discussed.Substantial crack formation with crack densities of up to2.93 cm−1are found. Furthermore, hardnessmeasurements are conducted to evaluate the formation of brittle phases within the weld metaland heat-affected zone. Peak hardness values ...

Die Wahlmüdigkeit der Studierenden
(2020-09-05)
Die Wahlbeteiligung für die studentische Selbstverwaltung liegt meist knapp über zehn Prozent. Dies wird u. a. mit der großen Belastung durch das Studium erklärt und mit der Aussichts-losigkeit, gegen die Stimmen der Professorinnen und Professoren überhaupt etwas ausrichten zu können.
Aber sind Millionenbeträge für den Allgemeinen Studierenden-ausschuss (AStA) gerechtfertigt, wenn eine winzige Minderheit der Studierenden eine noch winzigere Zahl von politischen Aktivisten wählt, von denen dann gut die Hälfte, mehr ...

Mitigating pro-poor housing failures: Access theory and the politics of urban governance
(2021-06-25)
Looking at evolving urban governance and planning practices in the city of Lahore, Pakistan, the article aims to understand—from an Evolutionary Governance Theory perspective—to what extent these practices steer paths and modes of service provision and housing for low-income residents. With a focus on the endurance and transformations of urban governance practices and institutions, we first explore the influence of the changing development discourse and the impact it has had on the (re)configuration of urban governance ...

Morphologically similar but not closely related: the long-sporedspecies of Subulicystidium (Trechisporales, Basidiomycota)
(2020-06-06)
Species boundaries and geographic distribution of corticioid fungi (resupinate Basidiomycota) are often poorly known. Ourrecent study onSubulicystidiumshowed that species diversity in this genus is at least twice as high as previously recognized. Thisre-estimation of the species diversity was based on a study of only a part of the genus. The present study sheds light on molecularand morphological diversity of three more species. We generated 27 ITS and 24 28S nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences from 49specimens labelled ...

Iterative feature detection of a coded checkerboard target for the geometric calibration of infrared cameras
(2021-08-11)
The geometric calibration of cameras becomes necessary when images should be undistorted, geometric image information is needed or data from more than one camera have to be fused. This process is often done using a target with a checkerboard or circular pattern and a given geometry. In this work, a coded checkerboard target for thermal imaging cameras and the corresponding image processing algorithm for iterative feature detection are presented. It is shown that, due in particular to the resulting better feature ...

The SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is vulnerable to moderate electric fields
(2021-09-13)
Most of the ongoing projects aimed at the development of specific therapies and vaccines against COVID-19 use the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein as the main target. The binding of the spike protein with the ACE2 receptor (ACE2) of the host cell constitutes the first and key step for virus entry. During this process, the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the S protein plays an essential role, since it contains the receptor binding motif (RBM), responsible for the docking to the receptor. So far, mostly biochemical methods ...

Site-specific interrogation of an ionic chiral fragment during photolysis using an X-ray free-electron laser
(2021-08-12)
Short-wavelength free-electron lasers with their ultrashort pulses at high intensities have originated new approaches for tracking molecular dynamics from the vista of specific sites. X-ray pump X-ray probe schemes even allow to address individual atomic constituents with a ‘trigger’-event that preludes the subsequent molecular dynamics while being able to selectively probe the evolving structure with a time-delayed second X-ray pulse. Here, we use a linearly polarized X-ray photon to trigger the photolysis of a ...
