IUTAM Symposium on Computational Mechanics of Solid Materials at Large Strains
The steady increase in computational power induces an equally steady increase in the complexity of the engineering models and associated computer codes. This particularly affects the modeling of the mechanical response of materials. Material behavior is nowadays modeled in the strongly nonlinear range by tak ing into account finite strains, complex hysteresis effects, fracture phenomena and multiscale features. Progress in this field is of fundamental importance for many engineering disciplines, especially those concerned with material testing, safety, reliability and serviceability analyses of engineering structures. In recent years many important achievements have been made in the field of...
Asian Students in Germany
For decades Germany has been one of the major host countries for international students; at the wake of the 21st century the vast majority comes from Asian countries. With increasing international competition the students, their countries of origin as well as Germany are confronted with specific challenges associated with sometimes conflicting plans, expectations, and apprehensions, amplified by uncertainties. While the students try to adapt to the conditions in Germany to make the best of their stay, their countries of origin ask whether the resources spent on the studies abroad of their nationals are well-invested, and how they might re-attract those who are graduates. As a partaker in the...
Studentische Hochschulpolitik für die Universität Kassel
Dieser Sammelband entstand im Kontext des 40-jährigen Bestehens der Universität Kassel. Der erste große Teilbereich umfasst historische Darstellungen zu der Studierendenpolitik an der Universität Kassel. Dabei werden aktuelle Bezüge immer wieder sichtbar gemacht. Vornehmlich geht es um politische Konstellationen und zeitspezifische Fragestellungen. Der zweite Teil dieses Buches fragt, was aus der verfassten Studierendenschaft in Zukunft werden wird und werden soll. Dementsprechend sind alle Beiträge im besten, eigentlichen Sinne als „Essay" zu verstehen. Also ein persönlicher Versuch, teils aus historischer, persönlicher und/oder politischer Perspektive, die Frage nach der Zukunft der Studierendenschaft zu beantworten.
Effectiveness of instructional interventions in higher education
Answering the question of effectiveness of educational interventions is no easy task for a multitude of reasons. The effectiveness of an intervention depends not only on the intervention itself but also, for example, on the target group, the available infrastructure, the current legislation, the time of implementation or the expertise of the teachers. This special issue shows the diversity in the goals pursued and the interventions used to achieve them. It also shows methodological differences in effectiveness research and argues the need for nuanced interpretation and for explicitly considering the context for the intervention.
The Professionalization of Coaching
This book features papers of prominent representatives of the German coaching scene on the professional development of this counseling format. The book thereby offers guidelines for practicing professionals and for scientists as well as for potential users of coaching. Coaching is, after all, developing rapidly. The number and the variety of offers, fields of application, concepts and issues have become hard to keep track of. Efforts to establish coaching professionally are becoming all the more necessary. – In light of the growing internationalization of the coaching market, the translation of this book, which was published in German in 2015, aims at networking the debates and contributing to the global development of professional coaching.
Hybrid Simulation-based Lean Management Methodology to Improve the Sustainability of the Construction Phase
This research aims to develop a hybrid methodology to support lean management to improve the sustainability of the construction phase. The combination of Value Stream Mapping and Process-based Life Cycle Assessment is enhanced by integrating with simulation methods to consider the environmental performance of the construction phase. Data from predefined process patterns, Life Cycle Assessment databases, and Building Information Modelling models, are used as input to the simulation-based Value Stream Mapping model. This methodology will enable an examination of the environmental impact of particular situations as what-if scenarios, during the planning and construction phases, without compromising the achievement of the construction process objectives.
Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science 2005
This volume contains the papers presented at the 30th Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2005) held in Gdansk, Poland from August 29th to September 2nd, 2005.
Systematics 2008 Göttingen, Programme and Abstracts
The Göttingen conference Systematics 2008 is the first joint meeting of the Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik (GfBp. and the German Botanical Society, section Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology (DBG), being the 10th Annual Meeting of the GfBS and the 18th International Symposium Biodiversity and Evolutionary Biology of the DBG. The conference programme covers biological systematics in the widest sense and provides ample opportunities for oral and poster presentations on new advances in plant, animal and microbial systematics. This volume brings together the abstracts of invited speaches from the plenary sessions on Progress in Deep Phylogeny, Speciation and Phylogeography, and New Trends in Biological Systematics as well as those of submitted talks and poster sessions.
