This article is on a university course called Engineering Conferences. It has been developed by the authors and installed as a mandatory part of the curriculum in three master’s degree programs for engineering students. The participants of the course are postgraduates with different nationalities, mostly German, and different technical backgrounds. They study Mechanical Engineering, Simulation and Experimental Technology, or International Business Engineering. The basic idea of the course concept goes far beyond simply teaching the standards of academic writing and skills for using scientific publications. By using a learnercentered approach, the students get engaged in typical activities around an active attendance of a real conference. Students learn to locate the field of their bachelor thesis or project report in the world of research communities, scientific journals and engineering conferences. They learn about conferences matching their bachelor/project topic. They write a paper complying with common academic standards, submit it to a mock-up conference, and review submissions of their fellow students. Students also produce a poster and have to defend it in a poster session held publicly on the campus. Engineering Conferences is a course on scientific communication and presentation that also aims at the development of other skills and competences needed in the world of modern engineering.

Kinderarmut ist in Deutschland oft Dauerzustand: Rund 21 Prozent aller Kinder in Deutschland leben über eine Zeitspanne von mindestens fünf Jahren dauerhaft oder wiederkehrend in einer Armutslage. Weitere 10 Prozent machen temporäre Armutserfahrungen. Armut bedeutet in Deutschland zwar meist nicht, kein Dach über dem Kopf oder kein Essen zu haben. Doch können sich die betroffenen Kinder und ihre Familien vieles nicht leisten, was für andere ganz normal zum Aufwachsen und Leben dazu gehört. Insbesondere wer dauerhaft in einer Armutslage aufwächst, erlebt Mangel und Verzicht. Zu diesen Ergebnissen kommt die vorliegende Studie. [Diese ist ein Zwischenbericht zum Forschungsprojekt "Lebensumstände von Kindern im unteren Einkommensbereich (LeKiE)" des Instituts für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) im Auftrag der Bertelsmann Stiftung.] (DIPF/Verlag/av).

Die Unified Modeling Language (UML) wird mithilfe eines Profils erweitert, um den Entwurf relationaler Datenbanken zu unterstützen. Elemente von UML wie Vererbung können zur Datenbankmodellierung genutzt werden, und datenbankspezifische Elemente wie beispielweise Indizes lassen sich in UML modellieren. Es wird eine automatisierte Abbildung vom UML-Klassendiagramm zum Datenbankschema erklärt und das Round-Trip-Engineering zwischen UML und einem Datenbankschema dargestellt. Schließlich wird der Nutzen dieser Modellierungsmethode verdeutlicht.
Mobile live video streaming is becoming an increasingly popular form of interaction both in social media and remote collaboration scenarios. However, in most cases the streamed video does not take mobile devices' spatial data into account (e.g., the viewers do not know the spatial orientation of a streamer), or use such data only in specific scenarios (e.g., to navigate around a spherical video stream).

A course called "Engineering Conferences" is presented that the authors have developed and installed as a mandatory part of the curriculum in Master programs for engineering students. The idea is to go beyond teaching the standards of academic writing and skills for working with scientific publications. By using a learner-centered approach, we get the students engaged in typical activities around an active attendance of a real conference. They write a paper complying with common academic standards, submit the paper and review submissions of their fellow students. Students also produce a poster and have to defend it in a poster session held publicly on campus. In this article, we present our rationale to develop the course and our results from the first semester teaching this course. This includes the presentation of useful resources for teaching and organizing scientific publishing as well as our reflected learning experience regarding the student's understanding of significance for scientific publishing.
Kohlendioxid, Biomasse und Regenerativer Strom - Ressourcen einer neuen Kohlenstoffwirtschaft?
(2017)
Das Buzzword Agilität ist in aller Munde. Agile Methoden und Werkzeuge werden vor allem in der Softwareentwicklung eingesetzt. Mehr und mehr setzen sich agile Prinzipien aber auch als generelles Managementkonzept jenseits der Softwareentwicklung durch. Gerade junge Unternehmen und Startups der Digitalbranche mit ihren oftmals flachen Hierarchien machen sich agile Werte wie Transparenz, Feedback und Selbstorganisation zu eigen. Wir haben uns gefragt, ob diese Werte – neben weiteren – nicht auch für die Lehre an Hochschulen Gültigkeit haben sollten und ob nicht agile Projekttools wie Slack oder Trello gerade im Rahmen der projektorientierten Lehre von großem Nutzen sein könnten. Dieser Workshop startet daher mit einem aktuellen Erfahrungsbericht über ein umfangreiches Crossmedia-Projekt unter dem Einsatz agiler Projekttools an der Hochschule Düsseldorf. Der weitere Verlauf des Workshops ist – ganz im Sinne der agilen Idee – noch offen. Allerdings werden einige vorbereitete iPads zur Verfügung stehen, damit Workshopteilnehmerinnen und –teilnehmer ggf. erste praktische Erfahrungen mit Trello sammeln können.
More than three decades of ongoing research in immersive modelling has revealed many advantages of creating objects in virtual environments. Even though there are many benefits, the potential of immersive modelling has only been partly exploited due to unresolved problems such as ergonomic problems, numerous challenges with user interaction and the inability to perform exact, fast and progressive refinements. This paper explores past research, shows alternative approaches and proposes novel interaction tools for pending problems. An immersive modelling application for polygon meshes is created from scratch and tested by professional users of desktop modelling tools, such as Autodesk Maya, in order to assess the efficiency, comfort and speed of the proposed application with direct comparison to professional desktop modelling tools.

The rock material pentlandite with the composition Fe4.5Ni4.5S8 was synthesized via high temperature synthesis from the elements. The structure and composition of the material was characterized via powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Mössbauer spectroscopy (MB), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Two preparation methods of pentlandite bulk electrodes are presented. In the first approach a piece of synthetic pentlandite rock is directly contacted via a wire ferrule. The second approach utilizes pentlandite pellets, pressed from finely ground powder, which is immobilized in a Teflon casing. Both electrodes, whilst being prepared by an additive-free method, reveal high durability during electrocatalytic conversions in comparison to common drop-coating methods. We herein showcase the striking performance of such electrodes to accomplish the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and present a standardized method to evaluate the electrocatalytic performance by electrochemical and gas chromatographic methods. Furthermore, we report stability tests via potentiostatic methods at an overpotential of 0.6 V to explore the material limitations of the electrodes during electrolysis under industrial relevant conditions.

Nach einer erfolgreichen Wiederbelebung der Medieninformatik-Workshopreihe mit dem Workshop Medieninformatik 2016 auf der Mensch-und-Computer 2016 in Aachen, lädt die Fachgruppe Medieninformatik (FG MI) im Fachbereich Mensch-Computer-Interaktion (FB MCI) der Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI) ein zum Workshop Medieninformatik 2017. In diesem Jahr soll es, aufbauend auf den Ergebnissen des 2016er-Workshops, zunächst um das Herausarbeiten von Berufsbildern und Färbungen der Medieninformatik- und Medieninformatik-orientieren Studiengänge gehen. Grundlage der Diskussion ist eine, im Vorfeld des Workshops durchzuführende Kurzumfrage, in der die Zielrichtung der jeweiligen Studiengänge und die Absolventenstatistiken hinsichtlich der Arbeitsfelder erfasst werden. Die Ergebnisse der Befragung werden vor dem Workshop an die Workshop-Teilnehmer zurückgespielt und sollen diesen als Kontext für die Vorbereitung der Workshop-Vorträge dienen. Die Vorträge sollen nach relativ engen Vorgaben die Themen Berufsbilder und Färbungen der Medieninformatik thematisieren, um die Workshopdiskussion anzustoßen. Daran anknüpfend sind die Themen Studiengangsgestaltung (Curriculum) und Erfahrungsaustausch zu (praxisgerechten) Lehr-Lernformen vorgesehen. Des Weiteren soll das im 2016-Workshop sehr kontrovers diskutierte Thema „Gibt es eine Medieninformatik-Forschung?“ anhand konkreter Medieninformatik-Forschungsvorhaben erneut thematisiert werden. Der vorgestellte Themenkanon ist nicht abschließend zu verstehen, sondern soll durch die Teilnehmenden im Vorfeld und vor Ort ergänzt werden.

The ability to understand and predict the pressure losses of orifices is important in order to improve the air flow within the secondary air system. This experimental study investigates the behavior of the discharge coefficient for circular orifices with inlet cross flow which is a common flow case in gas turbines. Examples of this are at the inlet of a film cooling hole or the feeding of air to a blade through an orifice in a rotor disk. Measurements were conducted for a total number of 38 orifices, covering a wide range of length-to-diameter ratios, including short and long orifices with varying inlet geometries. Up to five different chamfer-to-diameter and radius-to-diameter ratios were tested per orifice length. Furthermore, the static pressure ratio across the orifice was varied between 1.05 and 1.6 for all examined orifices. The results of this comprehensive investigation demonstrate the beneficial influence of rounded inlet geometries and the ability to decrease pressure losses, which is especially true for higher cross flow ratios where the reduction of the pressure loss in comparison to sharp-edged holes can be as high as 54%. With some exceptions, the chamfered orifices show a similar behavior as the rounded ones but with generally lower discharge coefficients. Nevertheless, a chamfered inlet yields lower pressure losses than a sharp-edged inlet. The obtained experimental data were used to develop two correlations for the discharge coefficient as a function of geometrical as well as flow properties.
The Sound of Success: Investigating Cognitive and Behavioral Effects of Motivational Music in Sports
(2017)
Listening to music before, during, or after sports is a common phenomenon, yet its functions and effects on performance, cognition, and behavior remain to be investigated. Listening to music before, during, or after sports is a common phenomenon, yet its functions and effects on performance, cognition, and behavior remain to be investigated. In this study we present a novel approach to the role of music in sports and exercise that focuses on the notion of musical self-enhancement (Elvers, 2016). We derived the following hypotheses from this framework: listening to motivational music will (i) enhance self-evaluative cognition, (ii) improve performance in a ball game, and (iii) evoke greater risk-taking behavior. To evaluate the hypotheses, we conducted a between-groups experiment (N = 150) testing the effectiveness of both an experimenter playlist and a participant-selected playlist in comparison to a no-music control condition. All participants performed a ball-throwing task developed by Decharms and Davé (1965), consisting of two parts: First, participants threw the ball from fixed distances into a funnel basket. During this task, performance was measured. In the second part, the participants themselves chose distances from the basket, which allowed their risk-taking behavior to be assessed. The results indicate that listening to motivational music led to greater risk taking but did not improve ball-throwing performance. This effect was more pronounced in male participants and among those who listened to their own playlists. Furthermore, self-selected music enhanced state self-esteem in participants who were performing well but not in those who were performing poorly. We also discuss further implications for the notion of musical self-enhancement. // Listening to music before, during, or after sports is a common phenomenon, yet its functions and effects on performance, cognition, and behavior remain to be investigated.
