Current Research and Challenges in Bitumen Emulsion Manufacturing and Its Properties
(2022-03-09)
The global increase of road infrastructure and its impact on the environment requires serious attention to develop sustainable and environmentally friendly road materials. One group of those materials is produced by using bitumen emulsion. However, there are still scientific and technical obstacles standing against its regular application. The bitumen emulsion formulation process and compositional optimization are subjected to a high number of degrees of freedom. Consequently, obtaining the desired product is mostly ...

Environmental and Economic Performance of CO₂-Based Methanol Production Using Long-Distance Transport for H₂ in Combination with CO₂ Point Sources: A Case Study for Germany
(2022-03-29)
The use of CO₂-based hydrocarbons plays a crucial role in reducing the climate footprint for several industry sectors, such as the chemical industry. Recent studies showed that regions which are favorable for the production of CO₂-based hydrocarbons from an energy perspective often do not provide concentrated point sources for CO₂, which leads to an increased environmental impact due to the higher energy demand of direct air capture processes. Thus, producing H2 in regions with high renewable power potential and ...

Lie algebra for rotational subsystems of a driven asymmetric top
(2022-05-11)
We present an analytical approach to construct the Lie algebra of finite-dimensional subsystems of the driven asymmetric top rotor. Each rotational level is degenerate due to the isotropy of space, and the degeneracy increases with rotational excitation. For a given rotational excitation, we determine the nested commutators between drift and drive Hamiltonians using a graph representation. We then generate the Lie algebra for subsystems with arbitrary rotational excitation using an inductive argument.

Prediction of total carotenoids, color, and moisture content of carrot slices during hot air drying using non-invasive hyperspectral imaging technique
(2022-02-04)
The objective of this paper was to evaluate the performance of Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) model and to assess the statistical agreement between two different measurement techniques, that is, Vis–NIR hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and standard laboratory methods for quality evaluation of dried carrots throughout the hot-air drying process. Carrots at commercial maturity of 3.5 months after planting were harvested in two seasons (2017 and 2018) and dried in a convective hot air dryer at 50°C, 60°C, and 70°C. ...

Mapping established psychopathology scales onto the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP)
(2022-09-26)
The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) organizes phenotypes of mental disorder based on empirical covariation, offering a comprehensive organizational framework from narrow symptoms to broader patterns of psychopathology. We argue that established self-report measures of psychopathology from the pre-HiTOP era should be systematically integrated into HiTOP to foster cumulative research and further the understanding of psychopathology structure. Hence, in this study, we mapped 92 established psychopathology ...

Development and Validation of a German Interpersonal Sensitivities Circumplex (ISC-G)
(2022-11-09)
The Interpersonal Sensitivities Circumplex (ISC) assesses individual differences in sensitivities to aversive interpersonal behaviors. In this research (total N = 1,519), we developed and validated a German adaptation of the ISC (ISC-G) and extended the nomological net of interpersonal sensitivity as a construct. Using the structural summary method, we investigated associations with self- and informant reports of adaptive (interpersonal) personality traits as well as self-reported personality functioning, maladaptive ...

Challenging the linearity assumption of intra-brand image confusion
(2022-12-05)
The purpose of this study is to clarify and consolidate the components and consequences of intra-brand image confusion (IBIC). In addition to validating previous research results on IBIC in a fresh context (different product category with its brands), this study challenges the linearity assumption usually underlying studies of branding impacts and IBIC. A national representative online survey was conducted in the United Kingdom investigating the smartphone market. Explorative factor analyses were conducted in order ...
