Damage Tolerance Evaluation of E-PBF-Manufactured Inconel 718 Strut Geometries by Advanced Characterization Techniques
(2020-01-06)
By means of electron beam powder bed fusion (E-PBF), highly complex lightweight structures can be manufactured within short process times. Due to the increasing complexity of producible components and the entangled interplay of damage mechanisms, common bulk material properties such as ultimate tensile or fatigue strength are not sufficient to guarantee safe and reliable use in demanding applications. Within this work, the damage tolerance of E-PBF-manufactured Ni-based alloy Inconel 718 (IN 718) strut geometries ...

Determination and Validation of Residual Stresses in CFRP/Metal Hybrid Components Using the Incremental Hole Drilling Method
(2020-09-21)
Lightweight materials contribute to an efficient decrease in fuel consumption in the automotive and aircraft industries. Hybrid components made of metal and carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) have a high potential in lightweight applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. For cost-effective processing of hybrid materials, advanced manufacturing processes such as the prepreg-press-technology have been developed, in which the bonding between a metallic component and a fiber compound is exclusively ...

Symbolic Representation of Dynamic Knowledge for Robotic Teams
(2020-11)
Das Forschungsziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die konzeptionellen Grundlagen für ein Team autonomer Roboter zu entwickeln, welches in der Lage ist, Wissen über seine Umwelt symbolisch darzustellen, über sein symbolisches Wissen zu kommunizieren und mit dem Wissen zu schlussfolgern, während sich die Umgebung dynamisch ändert. Dieses Forschungsziel wird durch mehrere Anwendungsbereiche motiviert, wobei die Domäne der Haushaltsroboter das Forschungsziel am besten motiviert. Wir haben die Anwendungsdomänen und das Forschungsziel ...

The politics of energy landscapes: the influence of local anti-wind initiatives on state policies in Saxony, Germany
(2020-01-23)
Background
In recent years, landscapes in many countries have been transformed by efforts to fight global warming, specifically the shift towards renewable energies such as wind power. This development has been met by growing opposition from local citizens and their initiatives. There is an ongoing debate about whether and how such protests have a real impact on the development of energy landscapes.
Methods
Drawing on the rare case of a state government scaling back ambitious targets for the expansion of renewables, ...

Determinants and Forecasting of Female Labour Force Participation Rate in India: Testing of Feminization U hypothesis
(kassel university press, 2020-06)
Greater involvement of women within the labour force has economic and social impact. The Female Labour Force Participation Rate (FLFPR) for India remains appallingly low at around 27%, while the male labour force participation rate has been 79.9%. In India, during 1990–2016, the FLFPR (% of female population age 15+) showed a declining trend.
In this paper, the determinants of FLFPR for India have been estimated using regression analysis for the time period 1990–2016. Data on all the relevant variables have been ...

Oberflächennahe Schädigung von Superlegierungen unter Hochtemperatur
(2020-02)
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Alterung von Nickelbasislegierungen in Oberflächennähe betrachtet. Dabei wird der Einfluss von Temperatur und Zeit in Zusammenhang mit der Oberflächenrauheit, Deformation und der Konzentration von Natriumsulfat an der Probenoberfläche untersucht. Zur Quantifizierung der Schädigung kommen rasterelektronenmikroskopische Methoden wie EBSD und EDX zum Einsatz.
Es wird gezeigt, dass die analysierten Verarmungs- und Vergröberungsprozesse der Gamma'-Ausscheidungen eine deutliche ...

Bridging the postcolonial political-economy divide. Towards a Theoretical Framework.
(2020-04)
Points of contact between the postcolonial studies’ field of research and international political economy (IPE) are rare. On the one hand, one can note a reluctance in postcolonial scholarship to open up for economic analysis. On the other hand, IPE literature has been somewhat resistant to take up the postcolonial critique. This paper offers an interdisciplinary approach by merging the two discrete disciplines on poststructuralist grounds, suggesting principles for a postcolonial-political economy approach and ...

Access to the learning material enhances learning by means of generating questions: Comparing open- and closed-book conditions
(2020)
Generating questions referring to the learning material is a powerful learning strategy. The present study investigated potential mechanisms behind this effect. Students (N=231) read a text and then generated questions referring to the text in three conditions: (1) open-book (i.e., text accessible), (2) closed-book (i.e., text inaccessible), and (3) cued closed-book (i.e., text inaccessible but keywords provided). After one week, students’ knowledge gain was larger in the open-book and cued closed-book conditions ...

Occurrence, distribution and alternative hosts of Wheat streak mosaic virus infecting ginger in Kaduna State, Nigeria
(2020-06-29)
A field survey was conducted during the 2018 rainy season (June – October) in three major ginger producing Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kaduna State, Nigeria to determine the occurrence and spread of wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) infecting ginger. Symptomatic and asymptomatic ginger leaf samples (n=180) and weed samples (n=45) were collected from the surveyed fields and indexed against WSMV using Double Antibody Sandwich Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (DAS-ELISA). The results obtained showed that WSMV ...
