Cross-kingdom comparison of the developmental hourglass.
The developmental hourglass model has its foundations in classic anatomical studies by von Baer and Haeckel. In this context, even the conservation of animal body plans has been explained by evolutionary constraints acting on...
Gamified Learning to Restore the Forest Landscape in Afghanistan
Philipp Busch
Oct 01, 2021
Implementing digital learning approaches in fragile contexts offers opportunities and challenges at the same time. The article describes an ongoing project by the German development cooperation organization GIZ (Deutsche...

Creating a Functional Interdependency Map for Supporting the “Act of Improvement” in Business Process Improvement Projects
Business process improvement (BPI) is of high priority for practitioners. But especially the most value-adding phase in a BPI project, namely the “act of improvement”, is insufficiently supported despite the many existing...

Rural electrification, electrification inequality and democratic institutions in sub-Saharan Africa
Philipp Trotter
Oct 01, 2016
While it is commonly believed that democracy influences public service provision, comparably few studies have assessed how recent democratisation in developing countries has impacted tangible public service outcomes for...
Population genetics of mouse lemur vomeronasal receptors
BACKGROUND: A major effort is underway to use population genetic approaches to identify loci involved in adaptation. One issue that has so far received limited attention is whether loci that show a phylogenetic signal of...
Flexible latching
Controlling cognitive systems like domestic robots or intelligent assistive environments requires striking an appropriate balance between responsiveness and persistence. Basic goal arbitration is an essential element of low...
How Much Am I Expected to Pay for My Parents’ Firm? An Institutional Logics Perspective on Family Discounts
Recent evidence suggests that successors do not simply inherit their parents' firm, but have to pay a certain price. Building on institutional logics literature, we explore successors' family discount expectations, defined as...

Quantifying the Interactions in the Aggregation of Thermoresponsive Polymers
What are the outcomes of core decompression without augmentation in patients with nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head?
PURPOSE: Core decompression (CD) of the femoral head is performed to preserve the hip in avascular necrosis (AVN). The outcome following this procedure differs based on the medical centre and the technique. Also, the time to...
Populism, post-truth politics and the failure to deceive the public in Uganda's energy debate
Using populist tactics to frame energy transitions is neither new nor a predominantly Western phenomenon. In sub-Saharan Africa, populist leaders have long dispensed energy endowments for political gains. This paper studies...
Predicting heterogeneous ice nucleation with a data-driven approach.
Water in nature predominantly freezes with the help of foreign materials through a process known as heterogeneous ice nucleation. Although this effect was exploited more than seven decades ago in Vonnegut's pioneering cloud...
Double Higgs boson production and Higgs self-coupling extraction at CLIC
Abstract The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) is a future electron–positron collider that will allow measurements of the trilinear Higgs self-coupling in double Higgs boson events produced at its...
Re-focusing foreign involvement in sub-Saharan Africa's power sector on sustainable development
International engagement in sub-Saharan Africa's power sector is increasing rapidly. Aid is used to directly finance a growing number of foreign companies to implement power projects, accompanied by calls for policy and...
Modified nucleic acids
Abstract: Modified nucleic acids, also called xeno nucleic acids (XNAs), offer a variety of advantages for biotechnological applications and address some of the limitations of first-generation nucleic acid therapeutics. Indeed...

Effective Approximation for the Semiclassical Schrödinger Equation
The computation of the semiclassical Schrödinger equation presents major challenges because of the presence of a small parameter. Assuming periodic boundary conditions, the standard approach consists of semi-discretisation...
