We explore how current AI tools can be used by entrepreneurship educators to enhance their course materials by creating memorable images and story-based, highly visual comic book content ("graphic novels"). We implemented these enhancements in an interactive learning platform based on Articulate Storyline and tested them in an introductory entrepreneurship course with over 2000 students per year on building an entrepreneurial mindset. In this article, we include sample copies of the images and graphic novel comics and highlight key methods, lessons, results, and design artifacts created during the course of our learning journey. Educators may add these free Open Educational Resource (OER) assets to their own courses by linking to the online version. We believe this approach to entrepreneurship education enhances students' engagement, memory retention, and the ability to identify and name underlying concepts and entrepreneurship theories. We hope to spark the interest of other entrepreneurship educators to use similar approaches at their universities.}, language = {en} } @article{AzzamSauerEndischetal.2025, author = {Azzam, Mohamed and Sauer, Dirk Uwe and Endisch, Christian and Lewerenz, Meinert}, title = {Comprehensive Analysis of Float Current Behavior and Calendar Aging Mechanisms in Lithium-Ion Batteries}, volume = {9}, pages = {e202500349}, journal = {Batteries \& Supercaps}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {2566-6223}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1002/batt.202500349}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Aiming to quantify degradation currents from solid electrolyte interphase formation (ISEIgrowth) and gain of active lithium due to cathode lithiation (ICL), resulting from electrolyte decomposition, the float current behavior of lithium-ion batteries is investigated with different cathode materials. The float current, IFloat , represents the recharge current required to maintain the cell at a fixed potential during calendar aging. This current arises as lithium is irreversibly consumed at the anode or inserted into the cathode, shifting the electrode potentials. To account for the asymmetric response of the electrodes, a voltage-dependent scaling factor, SF, is introduced, derived from the slopes of the electrode-specific voltage curves. Using this factor in combination with measured float currents and capacity loss rates from check-up tests, ISEIgrowth and ICL is quantified at 30 °C across various float voltages. Although the SF and capacity data are limited to 30 °C, the model is extended to a range of 5-50 °C using only float current measurements. The results show that using capacity loss rates alone underestimate ISEIgrowth and that ICL, contributes significantly to the observed float current at elevated voltages, indicating that cathode lithiation plays an increasingly important role in high-voltage calendar aging.}, language = {en} } @article{VolpatodeSouzaPintoPereiraNeumeieretal.2025, author = {Volpato, Guilherme and de Souza Pinto Pereira, Adriano and Neumeier, Steffen and Hotza, Dachamir and G{\"o}ken, Mathias and Tetzlaff, Ulrich and Fredel, M{\´a}rcio Celso}, title = {Influence of a Standard Heat Treatment on the Microstructure and Properties of Inconel X-750 Produced by Laser Powder Bed Fusion}, volume = {27}, pages = {2500306}, journal = {Advanced Engineering Materials}, number = {24}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1527-2648}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1002/adem.202500306}, year = {2025}, abstract = {The production of nickel-base superalloys through powder bed fusion using a laser beam (PBF-LB) offers a promising method for reducing the cost of aeronautical components, especially those with complex geometries. However, when these materials are processed using PBF-LB, the standard heat treatments developed for conventional manufacturing routes do not consistently yield predictable microstructures or mechanical properties. Thus, this study analyzes how PBF-LB affects the microstructure and mechanical behavior of Inconel alloy X-750 when compared to a hot-rolled counterpart after undergoing a standard precipitation-hardening heat treatment (solution annealing, stabilization, and precipitation). Microstructure is examined using analytical electron microscopy and high-energy X-ray diffraction, while mechanical behavior is assessed through microhardness. Significant differences between both manufacturing routes are detected, so that PBF-LB processing led to an increase in grain size, anisotropy, fraction of low-angle grain boundaries, mean angle of misorientation, and dislocation density. Moreover, PBF-LB promoted the formation of γ′-Ni3(Al,Ti) and η-Ni3Ti phases during solution annealing and stabilization, respectively. Notably, the formation of γ′ contributes to an anomalous microhardness increase observed between these steps. These findings suggest that PBF-LB may inhibit recrystallization and facilitate precipitation during heat treatment, thereby affecting the performance of components produced using this technology.}, language = {en} } @inbook{BauerGleissnerKotonski2025, author = {Bauer, Ingrid and Gleissner, Christian and Kotonski, Julia}, title = {On Rigid Manifolds of Kodaira Dimension 1}, booktitle = {Perspectives on Four Decades of Algebraic Geometry, Volume 1: In Memory of Alberto Collino}, editor = {Albano, Alberto and Aluffi, Paolo and Bolognesi, Michele and Casagrande, Cinzia and Colombo, Elisabetta and Conte, Alberto and Grassi, Antonella and Pedrini, Claudio and Pirola, Gian Pietro and Verra, Alessandro}, publisher = {Birkh{\"a}user}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-031-66229-4}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-66230-0_2}, pages = {43 -- 71}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @inbook{LozaAdaui2025, author = {Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, title = {The Principle of Respect in Circular Economy: Recognising Worth and Boundaries}, booktitle = {Circular Economy in Sustainable Supply Chains: A Global Perspective on Challenges, Concepts and Cases}, editor = {Fr{\"o}hlich, Elisabeth and Steinbiß, Kristina Kristina and Schmiedeknecht, Maud Helene and Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-031-70749-0}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-70749-0_2}, pages = {21 -- 33}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @inbook{LozaAdaui2025, author = {Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, title = {The Principle of Responsibility in Circular Economy: Between Freedom and Duty}, booktitle = {Circular Economy in Sustainable Supply Chains: A Global Perspective on Challenges, Concepts and Cases}, editor = {Fr{\"o}hlich, Elisabeth and Steinbiß, Kristina and Schmiedeknecht, Maud Helene and Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-031-70749-0}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-70749-0_3}, pages = {35 -- 47}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @inbook{LozaAdaui2025, author = {Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, title = {The Principle of Regeneration in Circular Economy: Revitalising for Resilience}, booktitle = {Circular Economy in Sustainable Supply Chains: A Global Perspective on Challenges, Concepts and Cases}, editor = {Fr{\"o}hlich, Elisabeth and Steinbiß, Kristina and Schmiedeknecht, Maud Helene and Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-031-70749-0}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-70749-0_4}, pages = {49 -- 60}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @inbook{LozaAdauiSchmiedeknechtSteinbissetal.2025, author = {Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando and Schmiedeknecht, Maud Helene and Steinbiß, Kristina and Fr{\"o}hlich, Elisabeth}, title = {Circular Economy in Sustainable Supply Chains: Presenting a Global Perspective on Challenges, Concepts and Cases}, booktitle = {Circular Economy in Sustainable Supply Chains: A Global Perspective on Challenges, Concepts and Cases}, editor = {Fr{\"o}hlich, Elisabeth and Steinbiß, Kristina and Schmiedeknecht, Maud Helene and Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-031-70749-0}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-70749-0_1}, pages = {1 -- 18}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-6688, title = {Circular Economy in Sustainable Supply Chains}, subtitle = {A Global Perspective on Challenges, Concepts and Cases}, editor = {Fr{\"o}hlich, Elisabeth and Steinbiß, Kristina and Schmiedeknecht, Maud Helene and Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-031-70749-0}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-70749-0}, pages = {X, 349}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @techreport{SchaefleDoelling2025, author = {Sch{\"a}fle, Claudia and D{\"o}lling, Hanna}, title = {Aktives Lernen in der Hochschullehre planen und f{\"o}rdern mit dem ICAP-Modell}, publisher = {BayZiel}, address = {M{\"u}nchen}, issn = {3053-2531}, doi = {10.57825/repo_in-6690}, pages = {39}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Aktivierende, studierendenzentrierte Lehr- und Lernmethoden k{\"o}nnen lernf{\"o}rderlich sein, doch ist es nicht von vornherein klar, welche Lehrmethoden sich f{\"u}r welches Lernziel am besten eignen und wie die Methoden zu vergleichen sind, so dass Studierende die Lernziele effektiv und effizient erreichen k{\"o}nnen.

SELFY is based on four pillars: Situational awareness, Resilience, Secure Data Sharing and Trust and provides three groups of tools. SACP (Situational Awareness and Collaborative Perception) tools aim at providing all CCAM actors with a comprehensive understanding of their environment, i.e., the perception of objects, such as other traffic participants and stationary objects. CRHS (Cooperative Resilience and Healing System) tools enable self-protection actions whenever a compromising situation is detected in relation to assets, vehicles, operations, or the system itself. TDMS (Trust and Data Management System) tools establish a secure and trusted environment for data in a collaborative and cooperative context, both for infrastructure and assets, as well as for citizen's data, such as drivers or pedestrians with special attention to privacy considerations.

Research shows that hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) offer viable solutions for off-grid communities, and bush encroachment mitigation is widely recognised as an ecological priority. Using Jamataka, Botswana, as a case study, this study integrates both, asking under which conditions encroacher bush-based HRES are economically viable, which electricity access levels local populations can afford, and whether biomass utilisation contributes to mitigation. Findings indicate strong potential for bush-based HRES in off-grid areas, but competitiveness declines where low-cost grid electricity is available. Economic viability is examined through levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) across alternative HRES configurations. HOMER Pro® simulations indicate PV/biomass/battery systems are most cost-effective off-grid, achieving 100 \% renewable fractions, near zero CO₂ emissions, and LCOE of 0.246 \$/kWh. In grid-connected contexts without feed-in, PV/diesel/grid combinations dominate (LCOE 0.117 \$/kWh) due to low tariffs, but with higher emissions. A novel affordability analysis using household willingness to pay and the World Bank Multi-Tier Framework indicates that all households reach at least Tier 3 electricity access under grid-connected systems and >70 \% off-grid, supporting household-use of medium-power appliances. Sustainable biomass extraction clears ∼12 ha annually (∼120 t) in Jamataka, aiding bush encroachment mitigation. Upscaling indicates potential to electrify 1.35 million people in >900 bush-encroached villages across Botswana, Namibia, and South Africa, using <1 \% of encroached land - highlighting significant untapped potential.

Specifically, powder bed fusion of metals using a laser beam (PBF-LB/M) additionally allows for the manufacturing of mechanically highly stressable parts. However, the heat input through the laser beam into the material and an irregular cooling during the processing result in the formation of high residual stresses. These lead to form deviations outside the specified tolerances and may accumulate to an extent, at which stress-induced cracking occurs. This emphasizes the need for an accurate prediction of the residual stresses during the PBF-LB/M process with the goal of a first-time-right additive manufacturing. In this study, three specimens exhibiting high residual stress formations during PBF-LB/M were manufactured from the nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718. Afterwards, the stresses were measured by means of neutron diffraction. The results provided the validation data for a subsequent finite element simulation, representing the build-up process on a part-scale, in which the data evaluation was conducted in accordance with the measurements for a high comparability. A comparison between the simulation and the neutron diffraction results of all three specimens showed a very good agreement of the normal stresses in all three coordinate directions, both for tensile and compressive stresses. The obtained results highlight the validity of the applied simplified part-scale simulation. The latter can, therefore, be utilized to increase the process understanding of residual stress and crack formations. It can also be used to enable process parameter modifications or geometry adaptions, aiming at a first-time-right additive manufacturing.}, language = {en} } @article{MehtaBetz2025, author = {Mehta, Kedar and Betz, Florian}, title = {Agri-photovoltaics in India: Geospatial suitability for sustainable water-energy-food nexus solutions}, volume = {2026}, pages = {101915}, journal = {Energy for Sustainable Development}, number = {91}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {2352-4669}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.esd.2025.101915}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @article{GleissnerKotonski2025, author = {Gleissner, Christian and Kotonski, Julia}, title = {Crystallographic groups and Calabi-Yau 3-folds of type II0}, volume = {29}, journal = {The Asian Journal of Mathematics}, number = {4}, publisher = {International Press of Boston}, address = {Somerville}, issn = {1945-0036}, doi = {https://dx.doi.org/10.4310/AJM.251216034253}, pages = {517 -- 534}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @article{BienertRegnet2025, author = {Bienert, J{\"o}rg and Regnet, Simon}, title = {Stability Analysis for an Ultra-Lightweight Glider Airplane with Electric Driven Two-Blade Propeller}, volume = {9}, pages = {3}, journal = {Vibration}, number = {1}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2571-631X}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3390/vibration9010003}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Safety is the most important requirement in flight operations.

This is crucial for the acceptance and success of electrified vehicles in the used car markets. A key component of electric vehicles is the traction battery, whose current and future condition, particularly regarding aging, determines its residual value and safe operation. This review aims to identify and evaluate methods for predicting the lifetime of onboard traction batteries, focusing on their applicability in technical inspections. A systematic literature and patent review was conducted using targeted keywords, yielding 22 patents and 633 publications. From these, 150 distinct lifetime prediction methods were extracted and categorized into a four-level mind map. These methods are summarized, cited, and structured in detailed tables. The relationships between approaches are explained to clarify the current research landscape. Long Short-Term Memory, Convolutional Neural Networks, and Particle Filters were identified as the most frequently used techniques. However, no methods were found suitable for predicting the lifetime of traction batteries during technical vehicle inspections, which operate under short test durations, limited data access, and diverse real-world operating conditions. Most studies focused on cell-level testing and did not address complete battery systems in operational vehicles. This gap highlights the need for applied research and the development of practical methods to support battery assessment in real-world conditions. Advancing this field is essential to foster confidence in battery systems and enable a sustainable transition to electromobility.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GriesbeckAllesTeistler2025, author = {Griesbeck, Michael and Alles, Martina and Teistler, Anja}, title = {Hybrid \& kollaborativ: zukunftsorientiertes Lernen in einem lernf{\"o}rderlichen Lehr-Experimentierraum}, booktitle = {Tagungsband zum 6.

Even though there has been a lot of work in assessing the quality of audio and video separately, the integration of these channels has not been well explored especially using advanced deep learning techniques. Current literature tends to use non-industry-standard datasets and simple fusion strategies, thus hindering the real-world relevance and advancement of the field. To address these gaps, this work conducts a series of experiments starting from simple approaches and baseline models, progressively advancing to more sophisticated methods such as integrating cross-modality fusion via cross and self-attention. Our method incorporates a deep neural network based audio model along with a dedicated video quality model where the features of both modalities are fused using attention mechanisms. We extend the feature set of one modality when needed in order to preserve temporal correspondence and relevance. One of the novelties of the proposed approach is the usage of the Concordance Correlation Coefficient (CCC) loss, which is a measure that has been employed in emotion recognition but not in AV quality modeling before. This loss function increases the stability of our quality estimations since it forces the model to output quality scores that are closer to the actual human ratings. We also make a unique contribution by using an AV dataset that is closer to the industry practices, which contains high quality audio and video content with realistic distortions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that employs cross-attention for AV feature fusion in an intrusive AV quality assessment setting. The experimental results show that this approach can enhance the prediction performance and yield high Pearson and Spearman correlations as well as low RMSE. This work sets a new baseline for AV quality assessment and demonstrates how cross-modal fusion can be useful in real-life multimedia applications.}, language = {en} }
