Investment Decisions with Endogeneity: A Dirichlet Tree Analysis
(2021-07-01)
Ignoring endogeneity when assessing investors’ decisions carries the risk of biased estimates for the influence of exogeneous marketing variables. This study shows how to overcome this challenge by using Pólya trees in the quantification of impacts on investors’ decisions. A total of 2255 investors recruited for this study received and opened a digital marketing newsletter about investing daily. Given the nature of investors’ decisions characterized by heterogeneity and endogeneity, the response model is assessed ...

Comparison of Spaceborne and UAV-Borne Remote Sensing Spectral Data for Estimating Monsoon Crop Vegetation Parameters
(2021-04-20)
Various remote sensing data have been successfully applied to monitor crop vegetation parameters for different crop types. Those successful applications mostly focused on one sensor system or a single crop type. This study compares how two different sensor data (spaceborne multispectral vs unmanned aerial vehicle borne hyperspectral) can estimate crop vegetation parameters from three monsoon crops in tropical regions: finger millet, maize, and lablab. The study was conducted in two experimental field layouts (irrigated ...

Coaching zum Spannungsfeld von Dominanz und Unterordnung – Perspektiven für eine situationsadäquate Selbstregulation
(2021-10-27)
Die Forschung widmete sich der Frage, wie Einzelcoaching dazu beiträgt, dass Coachees eine situationsadäquate Selbstregulation von Dominanz und Unterordnung gelingt. Zunächst wird die Relevanz des Themas für die Coachingpraxis und das Spannungsfeld von Dominanz und Unterordnung erörtert. Das Instrument der operationalisierten psychodynamischen Diagnostik diente als Grundlage für das Forschungsdesign. Anschließend wird die verwendete Methode beschrieben, und die Ergebnisse der Forschung werden komprimiert dargelegt. ...

Influence of hot deformation on the precipitation hardening of high-strength aluminum AA7075 during thermo-mechanical processing
(2021-04-21)
The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of hot deformation on the aging behavior of precipitation-hardenable aluminum alloy AA7075 within a novel thermo-mechanical forming process, in order to gain insight into its precipitation kinetics. For this purpose, the material was formed at 420 °C after undergoing solution treatment to different strain levels ranging from 2% to 10% to obtain different dislocation densities. After undergoing hot deformation, aging at 120 °C with different parameters was carried out ...

Der innerpsychische Konflikt Individuation vs. Abhängigkeit im Coaching: Zentrale Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Studie zur Praxis erfahrener Coaches
(2021-11-09)
Die unbewusste Dynamik von innerpsychischen Konflikten ist ein wichtiger Inhalt des Erlebens und Verhaltens von Menschen und hat vermutlich einen Einfluss in Coachingprozessen. Diese Studie fokussiert den Grundkonflikt „Individuation vs. Abhängigkeit“ in Einzelcoachings. In einer kleinen qualitativen Feldstudie (n = 13) wurden erfahrene Coaching-Expert/innen zu subjektiven Theorien und präferierten Arbeitskonzepten im Handling dieses Konflikts im Einzelcoaching befragt. Die Inhaltsanalyse zeigt Strategien zum Handling ...

Liquid Silicone Rubber Foams Made with Water as Blowing Agent
(2021-08-18)
Liquid silicone rubber (LSR) is primarily used in injection molding. Foamed molded parts made of LSR are almost nonexistent because the process reliability of LSR foam injection molding is currently not given. It makes sense to have suitable foaming processes for this material as well, because the density of this elastomer is about 1.15 g cm−3. With the injection molding process presented herein for foaming LSR, density reductions of up to 40% can be achieved. In this process, up to 3% by weight of water is added to ...

The Covid-19 containment effects of public health measures: A spatial difference-in-differences approach
(2021-04-12)
The paper studies the containment effects of public health measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 during the first wave of the pandemic in spring 2020 in Germany. To identify the effects of six compound sets of public health measures, we employ a spatial difference-in-differences approach. We find that contact restrictions, mandatory wearing of face masks and closure of schools substantially contributed to flattening the infection curve. The significance of the impact of restaurant closure does not prove to be robust. ...

Organization of the central nervous system and innervation of cephalic sensory structures in the water bear Echiniscus testudo (Tardigrada: Heterotardigrada) revisited
(2021-06-15)
The tardigrade brain has been the topic of several neuroanatomical studies, as it is key to understanding the evolution of the central nervous systems in Panarthropoda (Tardigrada + Onychophora + Arthropoda). The gross morphology of the brain seems to be well conserved across tardigrades despite often disparate morphologies of their heads and cephalic sensory structures. As such, the general shape of the brain and its major connections to the rest of the central nervous system have been mapped out already by early ...

Transcriptomic, peptidomic, and mass spectrometry imaging analysis of the brain in the ant Cataglyphis nodus
(2021-03-11)
Behavioral flexibility is an important cornerstone for the ecological success of animals. Social Cataglyphis nodus ants with their age-related polyethism characterized by age-related behavioral phenotypes represent a prime example for behavioral flexibility. We propose neuropeptides as powerful candidates for the flexible modulation of age-related behavioral transitions in individual ants. As the neuropeptidome of C. nodus was unknown, we collected a comprehensive peptidomic data set obtained by transcriptome analysis ...
