Exploring the Quellerflächen: Knowledge production on Danish internal colonial expeditions to Schleswig's west coast, 1859–1863

Between 1859 and 1863, Danish government official Arthur Earl of Reventlow traveled to North Frisia several times to explore possible ways to develop new agricultural areas in the Wadden Sea. Although expeditions have become a focus in the history of science, little research has...

Areal reduction factors from high-resolution rain gauges in Austria

Abstract. Areal Reduction Factors (ARFs) are widely used to convert point design precipitation derived from intensity–duration–frequency (IDF) curves into areal precipitation values for hydrological design. Despite their importance, ARFs remain highly uncertain, particularly for...

Workers’ internal locus of control and labour market mismatch

This paper examines the relationship between workers’ internal locus of control (ILOC) and education and skill mismatch. Using German survey data, we distinguish subjective and objective education mismatch and self-reported skill mismatch and account for cognitive ability and oth...

Emergent coherent-incoherent phonon crossover enables ultralow lattice thermal conductivity in 3D double perovskite

The interplay between coherent (wave-like) and incoherent (particle-like) phonon transport is central to heat conduction, yet experimental evidence of their crossover in bulk three-dimensional (3D) crystals remains scarce. Here, we report intrinsically ultralow lattice thermal co...

Comprehensive Formulation of Power Balance and Exergy Analysis for the Assessment of Highly Integrated Transport Aircraft

Abstract In the context of future transport aircraft, advanced concepts of propulsion-airframe integration feature Boundary Layer Ingestion (BLI), Distributed Propulsion (DP), together with advanced propulsion technologies such as Open Rotor, and Ultra High Bypass Ratio (UHBR) en...

Predicting Climate Adaptation Intention and Collective Climate Action

Abstract: Individual adaptation to climate hazards (e.g., create an emergency plan) and collective climate action (e.g., participate in a protest) arises from the interplay of numerous variables. Traditional linear models often fail to capture this complexity. This study employed...

THEMIS: spin axis magnetic field reconstruction

Abstract. The Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) mission investigates the coupling between the solar wind and Earth's magnetosphere using five identical spinning spacecraft. Each spacecraft rotates at a predefined rate to stabilize it and...

A survey of the reconnection layer around Mercury’s magnetopause

An anomalous reconnection layer (ARL) forms in the Earth’s magnetosheath near the magnetopause when the solar wind has a low Alfvén Mach number. This ARL structure is similar to a magnetic reconnection outflow region and is characterized by a weaker total magnetic field and a hig...

A minimal, deployment-agnostic zero trust cybersecurity framework for federated research infrastructures

Modern research infrastructures increasingly span heterogeneous environments, including cloud computing, high-performance computing (HPC), edge computing nodes, and most recently quantum computers (QC). This diversity challenges traditional perimeter-based security models and dem...

Land use intensification results in abrupt transitions between extensively and intensively managed grasslands

Abstract Understanding whether land use intensification causes regime shifts (i.e. persistent, large changes in ecosystem states) is of key importance for management, particularly if these shifts occur abruptly as thresholds in land use intensity are crossed. Further, these thres...

One‐Step Access to Ultra‐Bright Macrocyclic Oligo‐BODIPYs Featuring Long‐Lived Cyclic Excitons

ABSTRACT The controlled organization of chromophores into defined assemblies with collective photophysical properties is a key concept for natural and artificial photonic systems. A template‐free, one‐step synthesis affords a series of methylene‐bridged macrocyclic oligo‐BODIPYs...

Dualizing Involutions on the n‐Fold Metaplectic Cover of GL(2)

ABSTRACT Let be a non‐Archimedean local field of characteristic zero and . Let be a positive integer and be the ‐fold metaplectic cover of . Let be an irreducible smooth representation of and be the contragredient of . Let be an involutive anti‐automorphism of satisfying . In thi...

Reliable multimodal signals for in-vehicle heartbeat detection

Abstract Continuous and unobtrusive cardiac monitoring during driving is medically attractive but technically challenging due to motion artifacts, contact variability, and changing illumination. Building on our previously developed multimodal sensing platform that integrates stee...

A discrete-event scheduling framework for structural system selection under crane and crew constraints: application to discuss a hybrid precast building

Abstract Rapid urbanisation and population growth mean that, for multi-storey projects, construction time under realistic crane and crew constraints can be as decisive as material quantities in structural system selection. This paper presents a discrete-event, optimisation-suppor...

Perceived reliability modulates predictions: foreign accent effects on gender processing

In two experiments, the study explores how listeners adapt their predictions to the perceived reliability of a speaker by investigating whether native German listeners use gender cues on articles to predict upcoming nouns (e.g. dermasc → Mannmasc/Käsemasc “the → man/cheese”) in e...

Public role perceptions of (climate) scientists on social media

Abstract Public debates on socio-scientific issues like climate change increasingly unfold on social media. Although scientists’ roles in these debates have been widely discussed, little empirical evidence exists on how the public perceives them. This study examines public expect...

Unsteady Loss Assessment of a Transonic Compressor Stage Midspan Section

Abstract In transonic turbomachinery compressors, the aerodynamic loading is significantly increased, giving rise to complex flow phenomena, including shock boundary layer interactions. These interactions induce substantial unsteadiness and elevate loss levels that RANS models of...

Model-Based Scenario Engineering Using Large Language Models for Vehicle Concept Development

Future-oriented requirements are difficult to capture during the early phases of vehicle concept development because conventional requirements engineering primarily considers current stakeholder needs and system environments. This paper proposes an evidence-based Model-Based Scen...

Stem-cell modeling of cerebellar dysfunction of Angelman syndrome

Angelman syndrome is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder caused by loss of function of the maternal allele of the neuron-specific imprinted gene UBE3A. Although Angelman syndrome presents with developmental delay, ataxia, epilepsy, and speech impairment, the contribution of spec...

How to Improve the Quality of Thermal Safety Tests for Lithium-Ion Batteries by Thermal Runaway Criteria Definition and Temperature Sensor Positioning

Lithium-ion battery safety testing is essential for understanding cell behavior under abuse conditions. However, despite recent advances in test standardization, the quantitative assessment of safety-relevant temperatures remains sensitive to thermal runaway criteria and temperat...
