Weight reduction of DC/DC converters using controllable inductors
(VDE Verlag, 2019-07)
Controllable inductors can be realized by introducing auxiliary windings into the device that partially saturate the core and allow variation of the inductance value. This can be used to achieve zero-voltage switching in a DC/DC converter over a wide load range while at the same time the weight of the inductor is reduced. In this paper the possible size and weight reduction and the influence on the efficiency is calculated and compared to other solutions. The results are verified in a prototype.

SPAM – A Process Model for Developing Smart Personal Assistants
(ScholarSpace, 2020)
Information technology capabilities are growing at an impressive pace and increasingly overstrain the cognitive abilities of users. User assistance systems such as online manuals try to help the user in handling these systems. However, there is strong evidence that traditional user assistance systems are not as effective as intended. With the rise of smart personal assistants, such as Amazon’s Alexa, user assistance systems are becoming more sophisticated by offering a higher degree of interaction and intelligence. ...

Asymmetric Contributions to Instantaneous Reserve by Generation, Loads, and Storage
(2022)
In the course of decarbonization, interconnected systems will have to be prepared for recurring situations during which they are fed by mostly inverter-based generation. Today, the stabilizing influence of the rotating masses directly coupled to the grid via synchronous generators on every frequency change is essential. The inherent immediate reaction of synchronous generators on voltage-angle changes and frequency variations is called instantaneous reserve. During dynamic situations such as load or generation changes ...

Alexa, Can You Help Us Solve This Problem? How Conversations With Smart Personal Assistant Tutors Increase Task Group Outcomes
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2019)
Despite a growing body of research about the design and use of Smart Personal Assistants, existing work has mainly focused on their use as task support for individual users in rather simple problem scenarios. Less is known about their ability to improve collaboration among multiple users in more complex problem settings. In our study, we directly compare 21 groups who either use a Smart Personal Assistant tutor or a human tutor when solving a problem task. The results indicate that groups interacting with Smart ...

Coupling atomistic models with continuous finite beam elements [Abstract]
(Institute of Structural Analysis and Antiseismic Research, School of Civil Engineering, National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), 2016)
Concurrent simulations of atomistic (discrete) and continuum models are one key to perform static calculations of large atomistic structures. Occurring ghost forces at the interfaces between discrete (atomistic) and continuous regions are a major challenge for the definition of such interfaces. The so called virtual projection method [1] is a class of force-based a/c schemes which reduce (or even avoid) ghost forces. This class of coupling schemes is able to deal with atomistic models consisting of bonded, multi-body ...

Historische Pragmatik und historische Varietätenlinguistik. Traditionen, Methoden und Modelle in der Romanistik
(Universitätsverlag Göttingen, 2005)
Der Ausgangspunkt für die Planung einer Sektion, die historische Pragmatik und historische Varietätenlinguistik zusammenführt, war die Beobachtung, dass beide Disziplinen sich in Forschungsgegenständen und Methoden eng berühren, als Forschungstraditionen jedoch nur in einem zufällig-anekdotischen Austausch miteinander stehen. Diese Zurückhaltung lässt sich sicherlich mit den unterschiedlichen Wegen erklären, auf denen sich historische Varietätenlinguistik und historische Pragmatik konstituiert haben (und die sich oft ...

Towards a Technique for Modeling New Forms of Collaborative Work Practices – The Facilitation Process Model 2.0
(University of Hawaii at Manoa, Hamilton Library, ScholarSpace, 2020)
Collaboration Engineering (CE) is an approach for the design and deployment of repeatable collaborative work practices that can be executed by practitioners themselves without the ongoing support of external collaboration professionals. A key design activity in CE concerns modeling current and future collaborative work practices. CE researchers and practitioners have used the Facilitation Process Model (FPM) technique. However, this modeling technique suffers from a number of shortcomings to model contemporary ...

Insights into Using IT-Based Peer Feedback to Practice the Students Providing Feedback Skill
(University of Hawaii at Manoa, Hamilton Library, ScholarSpace, 2019)
The skills students need nowadays have changed over the last decades. The required skills are shifting more and more towards higher order thinking skills, such as critical thinking, collaboration and communication. One of the main ways of practicing these skills is through formative feedback, which consists of self-assessment and peer-assessment in our setting.
However, today’s lecturers are facing the challenge that the number of students per lecture is continuously increasing, while the available budget is stagnating. ...
