Modification of self-reinforced composites (SRCs) via film stacking process
(2022-02-25)
This work presents the mechanical behavior of self-reinforced composites (SRCs) manufactured and modified via film stacking. For modification, interleaved films made of polypropylene (PP), a thermoplastic elastomer and a polyolefin engage were combined in different ways to induce the elastic modifier into the matrix material. The content of modifier was also varied in two ways. First, the films were produced out of a single material and second out of a compound. So, the same content of modifier was implemented in two ...

Investigation of the adhesive strength in a combined compaction and back-injection process to produce back-injected self-reinforced composites (SRCs)
(2022-03-08)
This publication investigates the adhesion between an injection molded component and a self-reinforced composite (SRC) produced in a combined compaction and back-injection process to produce back-injected self-reinforced composites. To study the influence of the process, the parameters barrel temperature, time of injection, and tool temperature were varied. In addition, samples were taken at different positions along the flow path. In light of the orthotropic material behavior of SRCs, investigations were conducted ...

To Stay or to Go? Outmigration of Nurses from Ghana. A GPN / UCC Project
(2024-02)
The Global Partnership Network (GPN) is a unique network of 12 universities and 18 civil society groups for research, teaching, and training in all continents around SDG 17 “Global Partnership for Sustainable Development”. The GPN has been functioning since 2020, headquartered in Germany at the University of Kassel and funded by the German Federal Government. It aims to provide policy-relevant research in three areas: development cooperation, global economy, and knowledge production, keeping in mind that international ...

Patterns of Practice - Interdisciplinary Negotiation of Cultural Complexity through Practice-Based Methods in Informatics
(2022)
Following the principle of knowing through making, this thesis discusses development and application of a practice-based methodology for construction of digital artefacts within
cultural contexts. It addresses the epistemological diversity and complexity inhering within interdisciplinary projects, suggesting methodological devices able to navigate the variegated disciplinary landscape present within respective development projects. The conceptual pair complexity/complication acts as theoretical point of reference ...

Enhancing crop-livestock systems: Unveiling the impact of leaf stripping on maize hybrid yield in Sundarbazar-Lamjung, Nepal
(2024-03-12)
In local maize agro-ecosystems in Nepal leaf stripping is, historically, practiced as a source of fodder for livestock. However, its effects on hybrid maize have not been studied. The aim of this study was to determine how defoliation below the cob affects the grain and fodder production of hybrid maize and what value the stripped leaves have as fodder for ruminants. Seven hybrid maize cultivars were evaluated for their response to leaf stripping in a randomized complete block design with three replications in ...

Functional analyses of Dph1•Dph2 in synthesis of diphthamide, a clinically relevant modification on eEF2
(2024)
Diphthamide is a unique post-translational modification of a conserved histidine on the eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2). During translation elongation, eEF2 induces translocation of codon-anticodon duplexes across the ribosomal decoding center. Diphthamide is involved in fine-tuning of this process by stabilizing the codon-anticodon duplex and maintaining reading frame accuracy. Initially, diphthamide was identified as the target for diphtheria toxin, enabling ADP-ribosylation of eEF2 and resulting ...

Ordoliberalism Out of Order? The Fragile Constitutionality of Greek Austerity (Part Two)
(2020-06)
This is the second part of a two-part post. The first part, available here, considered the historical background of the concept of constitutional order and its relation to the ordoliberal project. Judicial independence was examined in parallel with central bank independence, with each understood as a means of insulating policy from social and democratic pressures and also as a means of enacting and maintaining fiscal discipline and market-conforming order. It also included some preliminary observations on the relation ...

Ordoliberalism Out of Order? The Fragile Constitutionality of Greek Austerity (Part One)
(2020-05)
The architecture of the European Monetary Union (EMU) has often been understood to be built on a fundamentally ordoliberal framework. [1] The precise characteristics of what constitutes an ordoliberal framework are often not clarified, and they have been widely debated in contemporary scholarship. But a crucial characteristic of ordoliberalism, and one that has received comparatively little attention, concerns the importance of grounding economic policy in a “constitutional order”: ordoliberal political economy insists ...

Professionalisierungsprozesse im Lehr-Lern-Labor Sportpädagogik
(2024-03-13)
Mit der Konzeption und Einrichtung des Lehr-Lern-Labors (LLL) Sportpädagogik verfolgt der Arbeitsbereich Erziehung und Unterricht am IfSS der Universität Kassel die Zielsetzung, unterrichtsrelevante Themen an universitären und schulischen Lernorten einer pädagogischen Begründung, didaktischen Erprobung und gemein-samen Reflexion zu unterziehen. Theoretische Bezugspunkte sind zum einen die professionelle Handlungskompetenz und zum anderen die Unterrichtsqualität. Pädagogisches Handeln sollte sich auf wissenschaftliche ...
