There is a popular saying in German: Innovation is when the market shouts “Hooray!”. Thus, a new idea is only as good as its diffusion into the addressed social system. The question is what affects the adoption or rejection of a new idea. Carsten Deckert shares his experience on the main innovation resistances and on ways to increase the acceptance of new ideas. He talks about which perceived attributes of innovations are conducive to the rate of adoption of an innovation and which are characteristics of failed innovations.
Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) have the ability to convert waste heat into electrical energy under unfavorable conditions and are becoming increasingly popular in academia, but have not yet achieved a broad commercial success, due to the still comparably low efficiency. To increase the efficiency and economic viability of TEGs, research is performed on the materials on one hand and on the system connection on the other. In the latter case, the net output power of the cooling system plays a key role. At first glance, passive cooling seems preferable to active cooling because it does not affect the net electrical output power. However, as shown in the present review, the active cooling is to be preferred for net output power. The situation is similar in air and water-cooling. Even though air-cooling is easier to set up, the water-cooling should be preferred to achieve higher net output power. It is shown that microchannel cooling has similar hydraulic performance to conventional cooling and inserts increase the net output power of TEG. As the review reveals that active water-cooling should be the method of choice to achieve high net output power, it also shows that a careful optimization is necessary to exploit the potential.
In dieser Arbeit wird ein allgemeingültiges Verfahren zur Tragfähigkeitsberechnung von hochübersetzenden Epizykloidengetrieben entwickelt. Epizykloidengetriebe sind spezielle Umlaufrädergetriebe mit epizykloidaler Triebstockverzahnung. Die Grundlage des Verfahrens bilden die Berechnungs- und Anwendungsnormen der DIN 3990. Neben der Herleitung des Rechengangs wird beispielhaft der Tragfähigkeitsnachweis für die Anwendung in einem urbanen Elektrofahrzeug ausgeführt. Das dabei betrachtete Epizykloidengetriebe hat eine Übersetzung von -34 bei einer maximalen Eingangsdrehzahl von 20.000 min-1 und einer zu übertragenden Leistung von 27 kW. Der Rechengang teilt sich auf in den Nachweis der Flankentragfähigkeit, der Zahnfußtragfähigkeit und der Fresstragfähigkeit. Das Vorgehen je Nachweis ist dabei vergleichbar: Es werden zunächst individuelle Faktoren berechnet, die anschließend in den rechnerischen Festigkeitsnachweis einfließen. Bei der Entwicklung des Rechenverfahrens wird auf eine Allgemeingültigkeit der Gleichungen geachtet. Damit wird die erstellte Auslegungsgrundlage auch für ein breites Einsatzspektrum außerhalb der Elektromobilität nutzbar. Für zukünftige Untersuchungen zu Aspekten der Dimensionierung und Anwendung der Epizykloidengetriebe werden Hinweise und Ansätze basierend auf den erlangten Erkenntnissen bereitgestellt.
This paper explores the tensions in team creativity. The tensions in team creativity are based on a tension between originality and effectiveness in the standard definition of creativity. To display the tensions in team creativity, the value square (“Wertequadrat”) developed by Schulz von Thun (1998) is used which balances a value with its countervalue. The author identifies tensions for cohesion, consensus and conformity. Cohesion is described as a tension between team diversity and team safety, consensus as a tension between constructive controversy and participatory decision-making and conformity as a tension between support for innovation and task orientation. Finally, the connection of individual and team creativity is described as an interplay between solitary and interactive components.
The definition of individual creativity is based on a tension between novelty on the one side and usefulness respectively appropriateness on the other side. The paper explores how this tension pervades the stage and componential theories of creativity. To achieve this, the so called value square (“Wertequadrat”) developed by Helwig (1967) and Schulz von Thun (1998)is used which balances a value with its countervalue to analyze creativity. The author identifies tensions of action and inaction, expertise and mindfulness, precision and ambiguity as well as immersion and detachment permeating the creative process and the components of creativity. As a conclusion a morphological box for creativity is presented which allows one to show which combination of characteristics of the tensions support different stages of creativity. Furthermore implications for development and time management are discussed.
The standard definition of creativity is based on a tension between originality and effectiveness. Borrowing from the wave-particle duality in physics one could say that there is an originality-effectiveness duality at work for creativity. The paper explores how this tension pervades Amabile's (1997) componential theory of organizational creativity with the components organizational motivation, management practices (including work assignment and work control) and resources. As a method the so called value square (" Wertequadrat ") developed by Helwig (1967) and Schulz von Thun (1998) is used which balances a value with its countervalue. The author identifies a tension of corporate tradition and corporate change for organizational motivation, a tension of skills and challenges for work assignment, a tension of management by control and management by loss of control for work control as well as a tension of organizational efficiency and organizational slack for resources. Additionally different implications of these tensions for the resistance of a company to creativity, for an organizational climate conducive to creativity as well as for resource allocation in creative endeavours are discussed.
Heterogeneous catalysts usually consist of porous, inorganic materials. Especially in the mobile application, e.g., in exhaust gas catalysis as a part of the gas line of an engine, there are loads due to vibrations and high gas velocities. It can be assumed that physical stress will lead to a loss of the catalytically active coating. The present contribution describes experimental setups and methods for a systematic and reproducible investigation of the main influences to the mass loss due to vibrational and fluid‐mechanical stress caused by particle‐free gas flows.

Die Simulation landwirtschaftlicher Prozesse hat in den vergangenen Jahren stark an Bedeutung gewonnen. Damit ist die Hoffnung verbunden, neue Erkenntnisse zu generieren mit dem Ziel der Erhöhung der Effizienz, Qualität und Wirtschaftlichkeit in der Landwirtschaft. Besonders große Herausforderungen stellen dabei die Modellierung landwirtschaftlicher Güter und der für Simulationen teilweise erforderliche, hohe Rechenaufwand dar. Um der bereits recht weiten und weiter fortschreitenden Verbreitung dieser Technologien Rechnung zu tragen und sie zu fördern, entstand die Idee für eine themenspezifische Tagung, die sich ausdrücklich und ausschließlich mit der Simulation landtechnischer Güter und Prozesse befasst.
