Microscale-Motivated Continuum Damage Simulations of Brittle Ceramics under Thermomechanical Loading
(2016-05-02)
Two approaches towards modeling damage in a brittle material caused by thermomechanical loading are presented.
Bothrelyonmicrocrack growth, in the first case in ahomogeneousmatrix, in the second one at grain boundaries.Two-scale simulations e.g. of thermal shocks applied to single-phase or layered structures are performed in connection with the finite element method. Damage and crack patterns are predicted just as quantities like residual strength or critical temperature jumps.

Kassel 2021 – Kommunale Herausforderungen für die Stadt der Transformationen
(2016-01)
Spätestens seit 2011 ist Kassel wieder in aller Munde. Damals überraschte die nordhessische Provinzmetropole mit dem ersten Platz, den sie im Dynamik-Ranking der Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft einnahm (Institut der deutschen Wirtschaft 2011: 7). Dieser Wiederaufstieg der einst blühenden Residenz- und Industriemetropole, die mit ihren gegenwärtig knapp 200.000 Einwohnern unter den 76 deutschen Großstädten Platz 40 belegt (Statista 2014), kann jedoch nicht als selbstverständlich betrachtet werden. Zu sehr wirkt ...

Beyond Ritz-Galerkin: Finite element approximations on a manifold in the configuration space [Abstract]
(Institute of Structural Analysis and Antiseismic Research, School of Civil Engineering, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), 2016)
An extension of the Ritz-Galerkin method, based on finding approximations on a finite-dimensional manifold of functions (i.e., not a linear subspace) in the infinite-dimensional exact configuration space, will be presented. This new approach is particularly efficient in computing geometrically exact solutions for problems involving large rotations.

The acceptance of mobile payments in the German retail market
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2016)
The acceptance of mobile payments is one of the research challenges of high strategic relevance in retailing. Most of the previous studies of mobile payment field focus on consumers’ opinions, expectations and concerns to assess their acceptance of mobile payment systems. The financial transactions’ complementing party – the merchants – who also needed to accept and, therefore, to implement mobile payment technologies is considered in this study. The purpose of this study is to enhance an existing research framework, ...

Normality at the boundary between word-formation and syntax
(Buske, 2016)
This paper investigates the notion of normality in the context of the divide between word-formation and syntax. Knowledge about what is normal finds its expression in generic characterizations about kinds (Ducks lay eggs), and we will present evidence that newly formed word-formation products like 'Rotdach' (‘red_roof’), in contrast to their phrasal counterparts, are more inclined to adopt kind readings. The compounds’ affinity to function as names for kinds will be explained on grounds of a pragmatic, manner-based ...

Social impact assessment of livelihood promotion programmes in Coastal Kenya
(Verlag Julius Klinkhardt, 2016)
Pwani University (Kenya) and the Sociology of Diversity Chair (Technische Universität München) are jointly developing a participatory inclusive instrument for Social Impact Assessment. The project investigates how the framework of Social Return on Investment can be applied to the field of livelihood development for young adults with disabilities. Small-scale tracer studies are used to find out which (broader) benefits have been created for the target group and other stakeholders
by such programmes.

Die deutsche Industrie 4.0-Strategie: Rheinischer Kapitalismus im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung
(2016-09)
Das vorliegende Papier befasst sich mit Bedingungen, Potenzialen, Akteuren und Perspektiven, die mit den Industrie-4.0-Strategien verbunden sind. Es geht dabei nicht nur um die Generierung und Nutzung neuer technologischer Möglichkeiten, sondern auch darum, ob und wie das deutsche Produktionsmodell, dass anders als bspw. das disruptive us-amerikanische Modell auf inkrementell-evolutionäre Veränderungen setzt, sich angesichts der neuen Herausforderungen behaupten kann. Damit verknüpft ist die Frage, ob die deutschen ...

Untergangsphantasien/-diskurse: Goll, Céline, Gracq, Houellebecq
(2016)
Aktuelle Themen wie das des lateinischen Reichs laden dazu ein, sie nach Maßgabe sachlicher, historisch-politischer Voraussetzungen zu diskutieren. Der vorliegende Beitrag versucht unter dem Stichwort Untergangsphantasien nichtsdestoweniger einen Schritt zurückzutreten und das diskursive, narrative Feld zu klären, in dem solche Diskussionen beheimatet sind.

Applying Least Absolute Shrinkage Selection Operator and Akaike Information Criterion Analysis to Find the Best Multiple Linear Regression Models between Climate Indices and Components of Cow’s Milk
(MDPI, 2016-07-23)
This study focuses on multiple linear regression models relating six climate indices (temperature humidity THI, environmental stress ESI, equivalent temperature index ETI, heat load HLI, modified HLI (HLI new), and respiratory rate predictor RRP) with three main components of cow’s milk (yield, fat, and protein) for cows in Iran. The least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO) and the Akaike information criterion (AIC) techniques are applied to select the best model for milk predictands with the smallest ...
