Pathways towards grain boundary engineering for improved structural performance in polycrystalline Co-Ni-Ga shape memory alloys
(2018)
Co-Ni-Ga high-temperature shape memory alloys attracted a lot of scientific attention due to their superior functional material properties in recent years. In the single crystalline state Co-Ni-Ga HT-SMAs feature a good pseudoelastic response up to 500°C. However, in the polycrystalline condition Co-Ni-Ga suffers significant grain constraints and premature fracture at grain boundaries. In this regard, crystallographic orientation of the grain being involved as well as morphology and geometrical orientation of the ...

Lehrinnovation in der Studieneingangsphase „Mathematik im Lehramtsstudium“ – Hochschuldidaktische Grundlagen, Implementierung und Evaluation
(2018-10)
LIMA steht für "LehrInnovation in der Studieneingangsphase 'Mathematik im Lehramtsstudium' – Hochschuldidaktische Grundlagen, Implementierung und Evaluation". Hinter dem Akronym verbirgt sich ein interdisziplinäres Gemeinschaftsprojekt der Universitäten Paderborn und Kassel. Es begann im Januar 2009 und endete im August 2012. Gefördert wurde LIMA vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) im Rahmen der „Zukunftswerkstatt Hochschullehre“.
Das übergeordnete Ziel des Vorhabens war, den Studienbeginn für ...

Investigating distributed practice as a strategy for school students learning mathematics
(2018-09)
Spacing or distributed practice is a prominent learning strategy that is related to the so-called desirable difficulties. With distributed practice, a given learning duration is interrupted by at least one break of variable length. In contrast, with massed practice the same total time is spent learning, but without interruption. There is a rich body of empirical evidence proving the positive effect of distributed practice on the retention of verbal material. Beyond rote memory, however, the empirical grounds regarding ...

In Search for a Decolonizing Actor: Contradictions Between Brazilian State Policies and Social Emancipation of Quilombolas
(2018)
This paper explores the articulations between the present social struggles of Quilombolas (Maroons’ descendants of those who escaped enslavement), state policies, coloniality and global inequality. Two case studies illustrate how the infiltration of global mining and overexploitation of eucalyptus have diminished natural resources in the region and encroached upon the land rights of black communities. This paper first provides a comprehensive review of the policy changes that paved the way for the recognition of the ...

Greece: Austerity's unexpected allies
(2018-04)
Contrary to pre-electoral proclamations and the recent optimism of the government and its European allies, the situation since 2015 has only gotten worse. Pensions have been cut twice more (with additional cuts promised in future). More than 1 million Greeks have already suffered some form of appropriation due to debt, with another 1.7 million waiting in line - a number that represents only 70% of those indebted to the tax office. One in three face material and social deprivation (Eurostat, 2016), placing Greece third ...

Entwicklung und Herstellung eines Labor-Demonstrators für Mikrospiegel-Arrays zur Tageslichtlenkung
(2018-05)
Die Entwicklung und Herstellung eines Labor-Demonstrators für Mikrospiegel-Arrays zur Tageslichtlenkung wird beschrieben. Der Labor-Demonstrator besteht aus einem aktiven Fenster und einem Miniaturraum, wodurch die Funktionsweise der Mikrospiegel-Arrays in dem aktiven Fenster optimal dargestellt werden kann. Das aktive Fenster besteht aus einer Isolierverglasung mit einer Größe von 50 cm x 50 cm, in deren Scheibenzwischenraum vier unabhängig voneinander steuerbare Mikrospiegel-Arrays integriert sind, die eine Fläche ...

Upgrading Starchy Staples for Tackling Malnutrition in South-West Ethiopia
(2018)
Child undernutrition is a critical public health challenge in Ethiopia. One of the immediate causes of child undernutrition is inadequate dietary intake as a result of relying on one or few starchy staples. Utmost attention should be given to improving diets of infants and young children if significant and fast changes are to be seen in the reduction of undernutrition. This dissertation examines the potentials of utilising appropriate food processing technologies for developing upgraded food products for infants and ...

The logarithmic finite element method
(International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2018)
The Logarithmic finite element (LogFE) method extends the Ritz-Galerkin method to approximations on a non-linear finite-dimensional manifold in the infinitedimensional solution space. Formulating the interpolant on the logarithmic space allows for a novel treatment of the rotational component of the deformation, and induces a strong coupling between rotations and translations. The Logarithmic finite element method provides
a transformation of the initial configuration that is not restricted to an isoparametric formulation.

Wilhelm Genazino, seine Figurenromane und Romanfiguren
(LiteraturWissenschaft.de, 2018-12)
Über den nach menschlichem Ermessen viel zu früh verstorbenen Schriftsteller Wilhelm Genazino war dieser Tage eine Menge zu lesen. Neben dem für die Textgattung ‚Nachruf auf AutorIn‘ konstitutiven Abriss der Lebensdaten – etwa auch der Hinweis darauf, dass Genazino eine Tochter hinterlässt – standen dabei die Verbindungslinien von Werk und Vita im Vordergrund. Generell punkten diejenigen Nachrufe, die auf biografisches Zusatzwissen zugreifen können. Die Autorenbiografie mit dem Romanwerk kurzzuschließen, wird damit ...

Visualizing the electronic structure of small molecules with rovibronic photon emission spectroscopy
(2018)
A key in understanding the fundamental structure of atoms and molecules has been their absorption and emission of electromagnetic radiation across all spectral ranges. The observation of discrete line spectra contributed to the development of core concepts in quantum mechanics and thus the modern picture of physical processes occurring at small scales. The ongoing refinement of both experimental and theoretical methods in spectroscopy allows to deal with succeedingly more complex systems in different interactions to ...
