Polyurethane-Based Gel Electrolyte for Application in Flexible Electrochromic Devices
(2022-06-28)
For the application in flexible electrochromic devices (ECDs) on plastic substrates, a new polyurethane-based gel electrolyte was manufactured. In this context, the curing behavior and the influence of the proportion of solvent and salt on the ion conductivity as well as the optical and mechanical properties were investigated. Furthermore, the stoichiometric ratio of the polyurethane matrix was varied to influence the ion conductivity. As an isocyanate component, the aliphatic difunctional polyisocyanate prepolymer, ...

Extended Nodal Admittance Matrix Based Stability Analysis of HVDC Connected AC Grids
(2022-05-23)
Motivated by emerging HVDC oscillation issues resulted from the interaction with AC grids, impedance-based stability analysis has become an attractive approach in the de-risking studies due to the capability of black-box modelling and clear physical meaning. However, impedance-based stability assessment of HVDC is typically conducted either from the AC side or from the DC side, without fully considering both AC and DC grid dynamics, thus impairs evaluation accuracy. In this paper, the nodal admittance matrix based ...

Peer Counseling: Method, Metaphor, or Mindset?
(2022-07-22)
Peer Counseling and Peer-to-Peer-Counseling are two common counseling formats worldwide where people meet each other at eye level. Rooted in the Independent Living and Self-Help Movement, “classic” Peer Counseling can be considered a professional counseling service offered by and for people with disabilities. In this article, the question is explored whether Peer Counseling is far more reaching than just being labeled as a counseling method. In many countries, it has now found a permanent place in the counseling ...

Financing Organic Plant Breeding - New Economic Models for Seed as a Commons
(2022-08-12)
Organic seed is vital for organic agriculture. However, organic plant breeding is not keeping pace with the increasing organic production, mainly because of a lack of sufficient financial resources. Therefore, the questions arose: what are the obstacles, and how can they be removed? An analysis of the situation in Europe revealed that royalties from intellectual property rights (IPRs) such as plant variety protection are inappropriate for organic seed. New additional financing strategies were developed based on the ...

Asymmetrically Substituted Phospholes as Ligands for Coinage Metal Complexes
(2022-05-24)
A series of coinage metal complexes asymmetrically substituted 2,5-diaryl phosphole ligands is reported. Structure, identity, and purity of all obtained complexes were corroborated with state-of-the-art techniques (multinuclear NMR, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction) in solution and solid state. All complexes obtained feature luminescence in solution as well as in the solid state. Additionally, DOSY-MW NMR estimation experiments were performed to achieve information about the aggregation behavior ...

Knowledge cores in large formal contexts
(2022-04-20)
Knowledge computation tasks, such as computing a base of valid implications, are often infeasible for large data sets. This is in particular true when deriving canonical bases in formal concept analysis (FCA). Therefore, it is necessary to find techniques that on the one hand reduce the data set size, but on the other hand preserve enough structure to extract useful knowledge. Many successful methods are based on random processes to reduce the size of the investigated data set. This, however, makes them hardly ...

Synthesis of Geminal Bis- and Tetrakisphosphonate Ester Derivatives and Their Coordination Behavior Towards Ca(II) Ions
(2022-04-05)
Geminal Bisphosphonate (BP) Esters in Ca(II) Ion Coordination. A series of geminal BPs was prepared starting from their corresponding ethyl- or isopropyl (arylmethylene)phosphonate ester precursors. Complexation with CaCl₂ yields the derived coordination compounds [Ca(H₂O)₂(L1–L3)₂]Cl₂ or [Ca(L8)Cl₂]ₙ. Their structures in the solid- (SCXRD) as well as solution-state (¹H DOSY NMR) are evaluated and comprehensively compared to literature data.
The preparation and thorough characterization of a variety of (arylmethy ...

Weinen im Coaching – oder: Gehört der Taschentuchspender in jede Coachingpraxis?
(2022-03-30)
Das Weinen als fundamentaler menschlicher Emotionsausdruck wirft innerhalb verschiedener Fachdisziplinen seit jeher Fragen auf. In den letzten Jahren lässt sich auch innerhalb der klinischen Forschung eine zunehmende Beschäftigung mit diesem Thema beobachten. U. a. konnte im Rahmen einer Untersuchung an der Universität Kassel eine Systematisierung über verschiedene Formen des Weinens in der Psychotherapie und unterschiedliche therapeutische Verhaltensweisen im Umgang damit entwickelt werden. Im vorliegenden Artikel ...

Application of mixed-effects modelling and rule-based models to explain copper variation in soil profiles of southern Germany
(2022-05-25)
Copper (Cu) is an essential element for plants and microorganisms and at larger concentrations a toxic pollutant. A number of factors controlling Cu dynamics have been reported, but information on quantitative relationships is scarce. We aimed to (i) quantitatively describe and predict soil Cu concentrations (CuAR) in aqua regia considering site-specific effects and effects of pH, soil organic carbon (SOC) and cation exchange capacity (CEC), and (ii) study the suitability of mixed-effects modelling and rule-based ...

Impact of Cropping Pattern and Climatic Parameters in Lower Chenab Canal System - Case Study from Punjab Pakistan
(2022-05-17)
In Pakistan, groundwater resources are depleting at an alarming rate due to intensive pumping, shifting of cropping patterns, and climate change vulnerability. The present study is aimed at investigating groundwater stress in the command area of Lower Chenab Canal (LCC) and associated branch canals. Groundwater stress is determined by considering the cropping patterns, surface water availability, groundwater levels, climatic variation, and crop water requirement (CWR) in the LCC command area. The climatic data is ...
