Social Machines
(2021-11-11)
Social Machines sind ein Paradigma für die Gestaltung soziotechnischer Systeme, die unter Verwendung von Web- und Plattformlösungen das Potenzial digitaler Technologien mit der Eigenlogik sozialer Interaktion, Organisation und Strukturbildung auf neue Weise zusammenführen. Im Folgenden diskutieren wir das Paradigma der Social Machine aus den Perspektiven der Informatik, der Wirtschaftsinformatik, der Soziologie und des Rechts, um Orientierungspunkte für seine Gestaltung zu identifizieren. Der Begriff ist in der ...

Inclusive Resettlement? Integration Pathways of Resettled Refugees With Disabilities in Germany and Canada
(2021-12-09)
The purpose of this article is to explore the existing intersectional knowledge on integration and resettlement of refugees with disabilities in two of the top five resettlement countries in the world, Germany and Canada. There is limited research on the intersection of migration and disability, especially in the context of refugee resettlement. Reflecting the dominant pathways of migration in each country, what little research there is focuses on asylum seekers in Germany, and immigrants in Canada. The review describes ...

Comparison of Real and Simulated Fiber Orientations in Injection Molded Short Glass Fiber Reinforced Polyamide by X-ray Microtomography
(2021-12-22)
During injection molding of short glass fiber reinforced composites, a complex structure is formed due to the fiber movement. The resulting fiber orientation can be predicted using various simulation models. However, the models are known to have inadequacies andthe influence of process and model parameters is not clearly and comprehensively described. In this study, the aforementioned model and process parameters are investigated to determine the dependencies of the individual influences on the real and simulated ...

A Novel Approach to Inhibit Intergranular Corrosion in Ferritic Stainless Steel Welds Using High-Speed Laser Cladding
(2021-12-15)
Ferritic stainless steels are prone to localized corrosion phenomena such as pitting corrosion or intergranular corrosion, in particular when jointed by fusion welding processes. State-of-the-art techniques to avoid intergranular corrosion mainly consist of alternating alloy concepts or post-weld heat-treatments—all of which are associated with increased production costs. Hence, the present investigation seeks to introduce a novel approach for the inhibition of intergranular corrosion in ferritic stainless steel welds ...

Team Regulatory Focus and its Role for Idea Generation, Idea Implementation, and Innovative Performance: A Dynamic Perspective
(2021-05-27)
In an experimental study, we explored the relationships between team regulatory focus and temporal patterns of innovative activities as well as innovative performance. We manipulated regulatory focus in 44 student teams and assessed idea generation and implementation activities over time based on video data. External raters assessed innovative performance. Latent growth curve models revealed that higher team promotion focus increased idea generation at the beginning of an innovative project but decreased this activity ...

Fully Implicit RUNGE-KUTTA Schemes for Ideal Elastoplasticity
(2021-12-14)
The present paper derives a multifield formulation of ideal elastoplasticity to enable the consistent application of higher order accurate RUNGE-KUTTA schemes. With the help of an axisymmetric model problem the appearing time discretization errors of distinct schemes are determined and compared.

Efficiency and agility of a liquid CO2 cooling system for molten metal systems
(2021-09-24)
In this study investigations on the efficiency and agility of a liquid CO2 cooling system, using expansion bores fed with liquid CO2 by capillary tubes, to form a thermal seal in a magnesium hot runner channel are performed in a test rig. Via temperature measurements the performance of different sets of cooling parameters is tested and cooling rates are identified depended on a varying nozzle geometry. To validate the measurements, the tests are modelled in a thermal simulation study. The applicability of the liquid ...

Cyclic nucleotide-dependent ionic currents in olfactory receptor neurons of the hawkmoth Manduca sexta suggest pull–push sensitivity modulation
(2021-06-14)
Olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) of the hawkmoth Manduca sexta sensitize via cAMP- and adapt via cGMP-dependent mechanisms. Perforated patch clamp recordings distinguished 11 currents in these ORNs. Derivatives of cAMP and/or cGMP antagonistically affected three of five K+ currents and two non-specific cation currents. The Ca2+-dependent K+ current IK(Ca2+) and the sensitive pheromone-dependent K+ current IK(cGMP−), which both express fast kinetics, were inhibited by 8bcGMP, while a slow K+ current, IK(cGMP+), was ...

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 ...

The Phantom of the ‘Responsible Consumer’: Unmasking the Intention–Action Gap with an Indirect Questioning Technique
(2021-12-03)
The intention-action gap stands out in research on sustainable consumption for decades. The current research explores the role of socially desirable responding (SDR) in the appearance of this gap by utilising an indirect questioning technique. Two online experiments (n=306 and n=334) demonstrate, in line with most market surveys, that consumers present themselves as highly responsible when being assessed with the standard survey measurement approach (i.e., direct questioning). However, the responses of participants ...
