Erkenntnis im Gespräch
(Walter de Gruyter, 2003)
Bewährtes zu wissen und dieses Wissen gleichzeitig offen zu halten für neue Erfahrungen: diese denkerische Kunst ist prägend für das Ijobbuch. Ijob fordert in einer außergewöhnlichen Lebenssituation von seinen Freunden ein, ihr bewährtes Wissen neu zu überdenken und auf seine Situation hin zu befragen. Es ist diese Forderung, an der die Freunde letztlich scheitern. Denn die Korrespondenz von überliefertem Wissen und seinen Paradigmen mit konkreter Erfahrung ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit, auch wenn das „enge ...

Content aggregation on knowledge bases using graph clustering
(2006)
Recently, research projects such as PADLR and SWAP have developed tools like Edutella or Bibster, which are targeted at establishing peer-to-peer knowledge management (P2PKM) systems. In such a system, it is necessary to obtain provide brief semantic descriptions of peers, so that routing algorithms or matchmaking processes can make decisions about which communities peers should belong to, or to which peers a given query should be forwarded. This paper proposes the use of graph clustering techniques on knowledge bases ...

Mining association rules in folksonomies
(2006)
Social bookmark tools are rapidly emerging on the Web. In such systems users are setting up lightweight conceptual structures called folksonomies. These systems provide currently relatively few structure. We discuss in this paper, how association rule mining can be adopted to analyze and structure folksonomies, and how the results can be used for ontology learning and supporting emergent semantics. We demonstrate our approach on a large scale dataset stemming from an online system.

Conceptual knowledge processing with formal concept analysis and ontologies
(2004)
Among many other knowledge representations formalisms, Ontologies and Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) aim at modeling ‘concepts’. We discuss how these two formalisms may complement another from an application point of view. In particular, we will see how FCA can be used to support Ontology Engineering, and how ontologies can be exploited in FCA applications. The interplay of FCA and ontologies is studied along the life cycle of an ontology: (i) FCA can support the building of the ontology as a learning technique. (ii) ...

Network properties of folksonomies
(2007)
Social resource sharing systems like YouTube and del.icio.us have acquired a large number of users within the last few years. They provide rich resources for data analysis, information retrieval, and knowledge discovery applications. A first step towards this end is to gain better insights into content and structure of these systems. In this paper, we will analyse the main network characteristics of two of the systems. We consider their underlying data structures – socalled folksonomies – as tri-partite hypergraphs, ...

Effects of post-harvest treatments on the carbohydrate composition of yacon roots in the Peruvian Andes
(2004)
Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius [Poepp. & Endl.] H. Robinson) is an under-exploited native root crop of the Andes, which stores oligofructans (fructo-oligosaccharides, FOS) as its main component of dry matter (DM). FOS are of increasing economic interest because of their low caloric value in human diets and bifidogenic benefits on colon health. Two on-farm experiments were conducted to: (i) determine the effect of shaded, short-term storage at 1990 and 2930 m a.s.l. in the Andean highlands; and (ii) address the effects ...

Use of digital camera to assess nitrogen status of winter wheat in the Northern China Plain
(2004)
The most widely used methods to assess the nitrogen (N) status of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are the determination of plant total N by combustion, the testing of nitrate in the leaf tissue and the use of SPAD readings. However, due to their labor requirements or high costs these methods can hardly be applied to the huge wheat growing areas of the Northern China Plain. This study therefore examined an alternative method to measure the N status of wheat by using a digital camera to record the visible green ...

A survey of wheat landraces in Oman
(2005)
Little is known about the diversity of wheat (Triticum spp.) in Oman. Therefore, a survey was conducted in northern Oman to collect landraces of Triticum durum, T. aestivum and T. dicoccon for subsequent morphological characterization and investigations on stress adaptation. The results show that the cultivation of these landraces (the genetic composition of which remains to be studied in more detail) is done primarily by traditional farmers who preserve the inherited germplasm on often tiny plots in remote mountain ...

Sensitivitätsanalyse mit Einflussfunktionen
(2006-11-22)
Es wird dargestellt, auf welche Weise man den Einfluss von Steifigkeitsänderungen auf Weg- oder Kraftgrößen bestimmen kann. Berücksichtigt werden Steifigkeitsänderungen eines Punktlagers, z.B. an einem Durchlaufträger und Steifigkeitsänderungen in einem bestimmten Bereich, z.B. die Lagerung einer Platte auf Wänden. Darüberhinaus wird auch der komplette Ausfall eines Punktlagers oder einer Wand bei der Herleitung berücksichtigt. Außerdem wird dargestellt, wie man Dehn- oder Biegesteifigkeitsänderungen in einzelnen ...

Modell zur Förderung des Wettbewerbs und der Transparenz auf dem Ratingmarkt unter Berücksichtigung der Besonderheiten der deutschen Bankenstruktur
(2008-06-26)
This paper provides a model for the international market of credit ratings in order to promote transparency of rating methodologies and combat the oligopolistic market structure where Standard & Poor‘s, Moody‘s and Fitch Ratings collectively comprise approximately 85 percent of the market. For the German credit market this paper strongly advises the establishment of at least three centralistic credit rating agencies (CRAs), set up and run independently by the large bank institutions – „Großbanken“, „Sparkassen“ and ...
