A Theory of Value for Service Ecosystems

Blagovesta Hristova Kostova

In this thesis, we present a theory of value for the design and analysis of service ecosystems. The theory is based on general systems thinking. The concept of a system is used for relating knowledge from different disciplines (such as software engineering ...

Early Prediction of Conceptual Understanding in Interactive Simulations

Tanja Christina Käser Jacober, Mirko Marras, Christian Giang, Jade Maï L Cock

Interactive simulations allow students to independently ex- plore scientific phenomena and ideally infer the underlying principles through their exploration. Effectively using such environments is challenging for many students and there- fore, adaptive gui ...

Title: "Labels Matter: Is it stress or is it Trauma?"

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez

In neuroscience, the term 'Stress' has a negative connotation because of its potential to trigger or exacerbate psychopathologies. Yet in the face of exposure to stress, the more common reaction to stress is resilience, indicating that resilience is the ru ...

Estimating mean molecular weight, carbon number, and OM∕OC with mid-infrared spectroscopy in organic particulate matter samples from a monitoring network

Satoshi Takahama, Amir Yazdani

Organic matter (OM) is a major constituent of fine particulate matter, which contributes significantly to degradation of visibility and radiative forcing, and causes adverse health effects. However, due to its sheer compositional complexity, OM is difficul ...

Reconciling Matching Networks of Conceptual Models

Karl Aberer, Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Zoltán Miklós

Conceptual models such as database schemas, ontologies or process models have been established as a means for effective engineering of information systems. Yet, for complex systems, conceptual models are created by a variety of stakeholders, which calls fo ...

Index-Driven Digitization and Indexation of Historical Archives

Maud Ehrmann, Giovanni Colavizza

The promise of digitization of historical archives lies in their indexation at the level of contents. Unfortunately, this kind of indexation does not scale, if done manually. In this article we present a method to bootstrap the deployment of a content-base ...

Theory Space: The Architecture Studio

Emmanuel Petit

Somewhere around the late 60's, the architectural studio underwent a 'conceptual' turn which, some fifty years later, would unknowingly become the model for the now fashionable 'start-up', 'business incubator' and 'think-tank' spaces that have sprung up fr ...

The role of uncertainty in dam failure frequency estimates: a conceptual case study

Anton Schleiss, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

The return period of combinations of events that are relevant to dam risk analysis is very high. It falls in a range of hundreds to millions of years, but remains hard to quantify with precision. Deterministic approaches to dam safety assessment typically ...

Conceptual processing is referenced to the experienced location of the self, not to the location of the physical body

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

We tested whether an experimentally induced change in the experienced location of the self by means of the Full Body Illusion (FBI) would impact high-level cognitive processing. In an implicit association task, participants saw a landscape where words, con ...

Form finding of twisted interlaced structures: a hybrid approach

Yves Weinand, Seyed Sina Nabaei

Our study presents a set of form-finding procedures to explore curved structures made from interlaced panels. Interlacing introduces a particular coupling between assembly components which has to be formulated along with a pertinent flexible body model. We ...
