The Role of Invariants in the Co-evolution of Business and Technical Service Specification of an Enterprise

We explore invariants as a linking mechanism between the business and technical service perspectives: From the business perspec- tive, invariants can be used to model (business) requirements of an en- terprise; from the technical perspective, invariants ex ...

The Alternative Cultural Life of Lisbon: two case-studies

Letícia Cabeçadas Do Carmo

In a dramatic crisis context, Lisbon reveals itself as an attractive and dynamic city of alternative bustling creativity. Trying to understand this paradox, I analyse two successful “alternative cultural spaces”: Lx Factory and Pensão Amor. Urban strategie ...

Supporting Reflection and Classroom Orchestration with Tangible Tabletops

Lenh Hung Son Do

Tangible tabletop systems have been extensively proven to be able to enhance participation and engagement as well as enable many exciting activities, particularly in the education domain. However, it remains unclear as to whether students really benefit fr ...

Time evolution of surface defect states in hydrogenated amorphous silicon studied by photothermal and photocurrent spectroscopy and optical simulation

Christophe Ballif, Matthieu Despeisse, Michael Elias Stückelberger, Jakub Holovsky

The time evolution of surface defect density and width of space charge region in thin layer of amorphous silicon is observed experimentally by Fourier transform photocurrent spectroscopy. This work reviews the assumption that photocurrent is insensitive to ...

Networks of Self-Adaptive Dynamical Systems

Julio Rodriguez

The present work belongs to the vast body of research devoted to behaviors that emerge when homogeneous or heterogeneous agents interact. We adopt a stylized point of view in which the individual agents' activities can be assimilated into nonlinear dynamic ...

Mapping biological ideas: Concept maps as knowledge integration tools for evolution education

Beat Adrian Schwendimann

Many students leave school with a fragmented understanding of biology that does not allow them to connect their ideas to their everyday lives (Wandersee, 1989; Mintzes, Wandersee, & Novak, 1998; Mintzes, Wandersee, & Novak, 2000a). Understanding evolution ...

Collisional damping of dipole oscillations in a trapped polariton gas

Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, François Morier-Genoud, Marcia Portella Oberli, Barbara Pietka, Taofiq Paraïso, Roland Cerna

We study the relaxation dynamics of a trapped polariton gas in the nonlinear regime. We excite the three lowest energy states of the system and observe the time evolution of the polariton density in the momentum space. At a low excitation power, the dynami ...

Le strategie del rivestimento nell'architettura olandese contemporanea

Giampiero Sanguigni

The thesis wants to analyze "the strategies of wrapping in Dutch contemporary architecture" and wants to re-define, in a systematic way, some aspects that have not been investigated by those publications and authors that, since the beginning of the '90s un ...

Relaxation Dynamics of Tryptophan in Water: A UV Fluorescence Up-Conversion and Molecular Dynamics Study

Majed Chergui, Frank van Mourik, Andrea Cannizzo, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei

We report on an ultrafast experimental and simulations study of the early relaxation events of photoexcited tryptophan in water. Experimentally, we used fluorescence up-conversion in both polychromatic and single wavelength detection modes in the 300-480 n ...
