The practical need of agile change and flexible organizational implementation requires a consistent mapping to an operational level. In this context, well-established reference process models are typically structured top-down. The subject-oriented Business Process Management (sBPM) offers a modeling concept that is structured bottom-up and concentrates on the process actors on an operational level. This paper applies sBPM to the enhanced Telecom Operations Map (eTOM), a well-accepted reference process model in the telecommunications industry. The resulting design artifact is a concrete example for a combination of a bottom-up and top-down developed reference model. The results are evaluated and confirmed in practical context through the involvement of the industry body TMForum.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TeixeiraBouraNiederwestbergMcLeodetal.2016, author = {Teixeira Boura, Cristiano Jos{\´e} and Niederwestberg, Stefan and McLeod, Jacqueline and Herrmann, Ulf and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard}, title = {Development of heat exchanger for high temperature energy storage with bulk materials}, series = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, volume = {1734}, booktitle = {AIP Conference Proceedings}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1063/1.4949106}, pages = {050008-1 -- 050008-7}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{ValeroBung2016, author = {Valero, Daniel and Bung, Daniel B.}, title = {Development of the interfacial air layer in the non-aerated region of high-velocity spillway flows: Instabilities growth, entrapped air and influence on the self-aeration onset}, series = {International Journal of Multiphase Flow}, volume = {84}, journal = {International Journal of Multiphase Flow}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0301-9322}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2016.04.012}, pages = {66 -- 74}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Self-aeration is traditionally explained by the water turbulent boundary layer outer edge intersection with the free surface. This paper presents a discussion on the commonly accepted hypothesis behind the computation of the critical point of self-aeration in spillway flows and a new formulation is proposed based on the existence of a developing air flow over the free surface. Upstream of the inception point of self-aeration, some surface roughening has been often reported in previous studies which consequently implies some entrapped air transport and air-water flows coupling. Such air flow is proven in this study by presenting measured air velocities and computing the air boundary layer thickness for a 1V:2H smooth chute flow. Additionally, the growth rate of free surface waves has been analysed by means of Ultrasonic Sensors measurements, obtaining also the entrapped air concentration. High-speed camera imaging has been used for qualitative study of the flow perturbations.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DroszezSannoGoldmannetal.2016, author = {Droszez, Anna and Sanno, Maximilian and Goldmann, Jan-Peter and Albracht, Kirsten and Br{\"u}ggemann, Gerd-Peter and Braunstein, Bjoern}, title = {Differences between take-off behavior during vertical jumps and two artistic elements}, series = {34th International Conference of Biomechanics in Sport, Tsukuba, Japan, July 18-22, 2016}, booktitle = {34th International Conference of Biomechanics in Sport, Tsukuba, Japan, July 18-22, 2016}, issn = {1999-4168}, pages = {577 -- 580}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{Bernecker2016, author = {Bernecker, Andreas}, title = {Divided we reform?

I investigate the link between divided government and economic reforms using a novel data set on welfare reforms in US states between 1978 and 2010.

Several robustness checks confirm this counter-intuitive finding.

From the obtained data is visible, that the given species of a plant is endemic. It is established, that dynamics of accumulation of lagochirzin in phytomass accrues from the beginning to the middle of the growing season. The chemical analysis of L.setulosus on a localization of lagochirzin in various organs of a plant, has shown, that the greatest quantity of lagochirzin collects in calyx lobes of the plants. Also it is established, that L.setulosus can be cultivated in the conditions of the typical sierozem, a mineral food is necessary for the given species of plants of Lagochilus genus, except nitric fertilizers. Comparative studying of wild-growing and cultural forms of L.setulosus has shown, that in the cultivated phytomass of plants the maintenance of lagochirzin on 17-20 \% higher than in the wild-growing species.}, language = {en} } @article{HeinzeMangPopescuetal.2016, author = {Heinze, D. and Mang, Thomas and Popescu, C. and Weichold, O.}, title = {Effect of side chain length and degree of polymerization on the decomposition and crystallization behaviour of chlorinated poly(vinyl ester) oligomers}, series = {Thermochimica Acta}, volume = {637}, journal = {Thermochimica Acta}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0040-6031 (electronic)}, doi = {10.1016/j.tca.2016.05.015}, pages = {143 -- 153}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Four members of a homologous series of chlorinated poly(vinyl ester) oligomers CCl₃-(CH₂CH (OCO(CH₂)ₘCH₃))ₙ-Cl with degrees of polymerization of 10 and 20 were prepared by telomerisation using carbon tetrachloride. The number of side chain carbon atoms ranges from 2 (poly(vinyl acetate) to 18 (poly(vinyl stearate)). The effect of the n-alkyl side chain length and of the degree of polymerization on the thermal stability and crystallization behaviour of the synthesized compounds was investigated. All oligomers degrade in two major steps by first losing HCl and side chains with subsequent breakdown of the backbone. The members with short side chains, up to poly(vinyl octanoate), are amorphous and show internal plasticization, whereas those with high number of side chain carbon atoms are semi-crystalline due to side-chain crystallization. A better packing for poly(vinyl stearate) is also noticeable. The glass transition and melting temperatures as well as the onset temperature of decomposition are influenced to a larger extent by the side chain length than by the degree of polymerization. Thermal stability is improved if both the size and number of side chains increase, but only a long side chain causes a significant increase of the resistance to degradation. This results in a stabilization of PVAc so that oligomers from poly(vinyl octanoate) on are stable under atmospheric conditions. Thus, the way to design stable, chlorinated PVEs oligomers is to use a long n-alkyl side chain.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JungStaatMueller2016, author = {Jung, Alexander and Staat, Manfred and M{\"u}ller, Wolfram}, title = {Effect of wind on flight style optimisation in ski jumping}, series = {15th International Symposium on Computer Simulation in Biomechanics ; July 9th-11th 2015, Edinburgh, UK}, booktitle = {15th International Symposium on Computer Simulation in Biomechanics ; July 9th-11th 2015, Edinburgh, UK}, publisher = {The University of Edinburgh ; Loughborough University}, address = {Edinburgh}, pages = {53 -- 54}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Frotscher2016, author = {Frotscher, Ralf}, title = {Electromechanical modeling and simulation of thin cardiac tissue constructs - smoothed FEM applied to a biomechanical plate problem}, year = {2016}, language = {en} }
