This study focuses on refining the pulse engineering techniques for superconducting qubits, employing a detailed analysis of square and Gaussian pulse envelopes under various approximation schemes. We evaluated the effects of coherent errors induced by naive pulse designs. We identified the sources of these errors in the Hamiltonian model's approximation level. We mitigated these errors through adjustments to the external driving frequency and pulse durations, thus implementing a pulse scheme with stroboscopic error reduction. Our results demonstrate that these refined pulse strategies improve performance and reduce coherent errors. Moreover, the techniques developed herein are applicable across different quantum architectures, such as ion-trap, atomic, and photonic systems.}, language = {en} } @article{RajanWeissenbornLedereretal.2025, author = {Rajan, Kohulan and Weißenborn, Viktor and Lederer, Laurin and Steinbeck, Christoph and Zielesny, Achim}, title = {MARCUS: molecular annotation and recognition for curating unravelled structures}, series = {Digital Discovery}, volume = {2025}, journal = {Digital Discovery}, number = {4}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, doi = {10.1039/D5DD00313J}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:1010-opus4-49019}, pages = {3137 -- 3148}, year = {2025}, abstract = {The exponential growth of chemical literature necessitates the development of automated tools for extracting and curating molecular information from unstructured scientific publications into open-access chemical databases.

This integrated web-based platform combines automated text annotation, multi-engine OCSR, and direct submission capabilities to the COCONUT database. MARCUS employs a fine-tuned GPT-4 model to extract chemical entities and utilises a Human-in-the-loop ensemble approach integrating DECIMER, MolNexTR, and MolScribe for structure recognition. The platform aims to streamline the data extraction workflow from PDF upload to database submission, significantly reducing curation time. MARCUS bridges the gap between unstructured chemical literature and machine-actionable databases, enabling FAIR data principles and facilitating AI-driven chemical discovery. Through open-source code, accessible models, and comprehensive documentation, the web application enhances accessibility and promotes community-driven development.

The scalability of the system is demonstrated by generalising the mechanical behaviour from the small geometry of the wing to a suitable scale for engineering applications, such as deployable structures for space applications. The tool is written in Python and based on the MuJoCo physics engine. Sections of the anal fan are modelled as a bar-and-hinge model with elastic tendons, allowing a high number of design parameters and fast computation. In light of these advantages, the wing folding and unfolding behaviour is investigated with respect to the tendon's elastic properties and the actuation of the deformation. Bistability is characterised using a single tendon and the entire fan section. Given the upscaled geometry of the analysed section, the required tendon characteristics to transition between the stable states are identified within a reasonable range for technological transfer towards biomimetic structures modelled after the dermapteran hindwing.}, language = {en} } @article{FischerPeterMoeini2025, author = {Fischer, Georg and Peter, Grass and Moeini, Ghazal}, title = {Influence of electron beam modulation on deposition characteristics in directed energy deposition-electron beam additive manufacturing (DED-EB) of titanium}, series = {Welding in the World}, volume = {2025}, journal = {Welding in the World}, number = {Volume 69, Issue 12}, edition = {Modified publication 2025}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, issn = {1878-6669}, doi = {10.1007/s40194-025-02271-4}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:1010-opus4-49006}, pages = {15}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Directed energy deposition-electron beam (DED-EB) additive manufacturing is a highly promising process for the fabrication of titanium components, offering high deposition rates and precise process control under vacuum conditions. However, optimizing the deposition characteristics, such as dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and layer uniformity, remains a key challenge, partly due to the complex dynamics of heat input and melt pool behavior. This study examines the influence of electron beam modulation on these deposition characteristics by systematically varying beam deflection parameters, including frequency and pattern, during the wire-based additive manufacturing of titanium. The effects of beam modulation on wire melting, melt pool stability, layer formation, and overall build geometry were thoroughly evaluated. The results demonstrate that carefully controlled electron beam modulation enables significant improvements in deposition stability, surface finish, and control over geometric features, thereby enhancing process reliability and enabling the production of near-net-shape titanium components. Notably, a parameter set consisting of a circular beam deflection at an oscillation frequency of 500Hz and an overfocus setting of + 40 mA effectively minimized surface ripples and waviness, thereby enhancing process stability and yielding defect-free components. These insights contribute to advancing DED-EB as a viable solution for applications where high geometric accuracy and process efficiency are demanded.}, language = {en} } @incollection{RensinghoffMenze2025, author = {Rensinghoff, Farina and Menze, Jonas}, title = {Lehrauftr{\"a}ge in der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung}, series = {Qualit{\"a}t in der wissenschaftlichen und k{\"u}nstlerischen Weiterbildung.

Regardless of this variety, educators wonder whether they can make use of these tools for their goals and if so, which tool to choose and in which context a specific tool performs best. To do so, the collection and analysis of learning data - referred to as Learning Analytics (LA) - is required. Along with digital learning environments the possibilities of applying LA are growing. Often, LA focuses on data that can easily be quantified: drop-out quota, time or grade performance. To facilitate learning in a more procedural sense, a deeper understanding of learners' behavior in specific contexts with specific exercise designs is desired. This study therefore focuses on usage patterns. Learners' movements through three different designs of mathematical exercises - (i) plain exercises, (ii) PA supported and (iii) fantasy game design - are analyzed with Markov chains. The results of an experiment with 503 students inform about which design facilitates what kind of learning.

This gap is crucial, as servant leadership might place significant demands on leaders' psychological resources, without sufficient social, psychological, or organizational rewards. Drawing on the Conservation of Resources Theory (COR), we investigate how and when servant leadership affects leaders' mental health, viewing its role not only as resource-depleting but also as resource-generating for leaders, depending on the organizational context. Two cross-sectional studies were conducted using leader self-assessments (N = 101; N = 170). Study 1 focused on the relationship between servant leadership, experienced meaningfulness, emotional exhaustion, and flourishing, emphasizing the resource-generating potential of servant leadership. Study 2, examined the moderating effect of the distributive justice climate (DJC) on the link between servant leadership and emotional exhaustion, exploring the possibility of resource depletion under conditions of low organizational fairness. Results. In Study 1, servant leadership was found to mitigate emotional exhaustion by enhancing experienced meaningfulness at work. Moreover, it fostered leaders' flourishing through the same mechanism, suggesting that servant leadership can be a source of leaders' well-being. Study 2 demonstrated that DJC moderates the servant leadership-emotional exhaustion relationship. Specifically, when DJC is low, servant leaders are more susceptible to emotional exhaustion, indicating that unfair organizational climates can exacerbate the resource-depleting aspects of servant leadership. Servant leadership has the potential to both reduce and exacerbate emotional exhaustion in leaders. While it generates psychological resources like experienced meaningfulness, which enhances well-being, its effectiveness is influenced by the organizational context. In unjust environments, servant leadership's emotional demands may lead to resource depletion. These findings are in line with COR and highlight the complex impact of servant leadership on the well-being of leaders.

The affect transfer hypothesis is used as a model to understand advertising effects in this context. Additionally, this study delves into potential influencing factors on suspicion of greenwashing, such as the type of green advertising and the "lifestyle of health and sustainability" (LOHAS). The research question is addressed through a quantitative experimental online survey.

We argue that two elements are pivotal to bypass this problem. First, genuine partnership with patients—ranging from biospecimen donation to agenda setting—can unlock critical resources and align research with real-world needs. Second, molecular intersections between HHT and related pathologies call for coordinated, cross-disease programmes rather than isolated efforts. Recent multi-stakeholder gatherings hosted by patient organisations in Germany and elsewhere, such as the Second Scientific Symposium by the German HHT self-help group (Morbus Osler Selbsthilfe e.V.) in May 2025, have shown that when clinicians, basic scientists from different disciplines, and affected families co-design research questions, novel in vitro models can be generated more accurately, and pragmatic clinical trials emerge. Here, we outline actual opportunities for patient-integrated cellular model systems, shared biobanking, and comparative approaches across vascular malformation syndromes. In our opinion, letting informed and well-organised patient communities assemble such meetings opens unique opportunities twofold: on the one hand, the field can finally break out of its disease-specific silos; on the other hand, the development of novel HHT therapies could be accelerated by learning from progress in related pathologies.}, language = {en} }
