The present study evaluates stimulus-dependent structure in spontaneous eye-blink behavior as an objective, corroborative measure for the media use phenomenon of spatial presence. To this end, a mixed methods approach is used in an experimental setting to collect, combine, analyze, and interpret data from standardized participant self-report, observation of participant behavior, and content analysis of the media stimulus. T-pattern detection is used to analyze stimulus-dependent blinking behavior, and this structural data is then contrasted with self-report data. The combined results show that behavioral indicators yield the predicted results, while self-report data shows unpredicted results that are not predicted by the underlying theory. The use of a mixed methods approach offered insights that support further theory development and theory testing beyond a traditional, mono-method experimental approach.}, language = {en} } @article{ButtHowardRaman2022, author = {Butt, Elke and Howard, Cory M. and Raman, Dayanidhi}, title = {LASP1 in cellular signaling and gene expression: more than just a cytoskeletal regulator}, series = {Cells}, volume = {11}, journal = {Cells}, number = {23}, issn = {2073-4409}, doi = {10.3390/cells11233817}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-297447}, year = {2022}, abstract = {LIM and SH3 protein 1 was originally identified as a structural cytoskeletal protein with scaffolding function. However, recent data suggest additional roles in cell signaling and gene expression, especially in tumor cells. These novel functions are primarily regulated by the site-specific phosphorylation of LASP1. This review will focus on specific phosphorylation-dependent interaction between LASP1 and cellular proteins that orchestrate primary tumor progression and metastasis. More specifically, we will describe the role of LASP1 in chemokine receptor, and PI3K/AKT signaling. We outline the nuclear role for LASP1 in terms of epigenetics and transcriptional regulation and modulation of oncogenic mRNA translation. Finally, newly identified roles for the cytoskeletal function of LASP1 next to its known canonical F-actin binding properties are included.}, language = {en} } @article{GreefrathOldenburgSilleretal.2023, author = {Greefrath, Gilbert and Oldenburg, Reinhard and Siller, Hans-Stefan and Ulm, Volker and Weigand, Hans-Georg}, title = {Mathematics students' characteristics of basic mental models of the derivative}, series = {Journal f{\"u}r Mathematik-Didaktik}, volume = {44}, journal = {Journal f{\"u}r Mathematik-Didaktik}, number = {1}, issn = {0173-5322}, doi = {10.1007/s13138-022-00207-9}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-324317}, pages = {143-169}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The concept of derivative is characterised with reference to four basic mental models. These are described as theoretical constructs based on theoretical considerations. The four basic mental models—local rate of change, tangent slope, local linearity and amplification factor—are not only quantified empirically but are also validated. To this end, a test instrument for measuring students' characteristics of basic mental models is presented and analysed regarding quality criteria. Mathematics students (n = 266) were tested with this instrument. The test results show that the four basic mental models of the derivative can be reconstructed among the students with different characteristics. The tangent slope has the highest agreement values across all tasks. The agreement on explanations based on the basic mental model of rate of change is not as strongly established among students as one would expect due to framework settings in the school system by means of curricula and educational standards. The basic mental model of local linearity plays a rather subordinate role. The amplification factor achieves the lowest agreement values. In addition, cluster analysis was conducted to identify different subgroups of the student population. Moreover, the test results can be attributed to characteristics of the task types as well as to the students' previous experiences from mathematics classes by means of qualitative interpretation.

Die strukturelle Ent-wicklung w{\"a}hrend der Pyrolyse der Gel-Fasern wurde in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit von Pyrolysetemperatur (200-850 °C) und -atmosph{\"a}re beschrieben. Die Zusammenh{\"a}nge zwischen den mittels der Pyrolyseparameter variierten amorphen Strukturen und dem daraus resultierenden Kristallisations- und Sinterverhalten sowie den mechanischen Fasereigenschaften wurden gezeigt. Die isotropen Gel-Fasern sind frei von Poren und weisen lokal regelm{\"a}ßig angeordnete, organische Dom{\"a}nen mit mittleren Abst{\"a}nden von 2 nm innerhalb des anorganischen Matrixger{\"u}sts auf. W{\"a}hrend der Pyrolyse auftretende Strukturver{\"a}nderungen h{\"a}ngen stark von der Atmosph{\"a}re und der Temperatur ab. In Luft- und Sauerstoffatmosph{\"a}re trat ab 600 °C innerhalb der Fasern lokal eine Kristallisation von YAG und Korund in Form kugeliger Bereiche auf, die zum Bruch der Fasern bereits w{\"a}hrend der Pyrolyse f{\"u}hrten. Die Abgabe organischer Bestandteile erfolgte bei Pyrolyse in Stickstoff im wesentlichen zwischen 300 °C und 500 °C, blieb jedoch auch bei h{\"o}heren Temperaturen unvollst{\"a}ndig. In Wasserdampf-Atmosph{\"a}re kam es durch Hydrolysereaktionen zwischen 250 °C und 385 °C zu einer verbesserten Abgabe der organischen Bestandteile. Der Kohlenstoffgehalt sinkt bei 385 °C unter 2 Masse-\%. Werden dem Wasserdampf saure Gase wie z.B. Stickoxide zugesetzt, wird um 200 °C die Hydrolyse und Abgabe der Organik zus{\"a}tzlich verst{\"a}rkt. Nach Pyrolyse in Stickstoff oder wasserhaltigen Atmosph{\"a}ren blieben die Fasern amorph. Bei Pyrolyse in Stickstoff war die Struktur der Fasern porenfrei, wobei die organischen Pyrolysatreste wie in den Gel-Fasern als regelm{\"a}ßig angeordnete, isolierte Bereiche innerhalb einer anorganischen Matrix vorlagen. In Wasserdampf bildete sich ab 250 °C aus den organischen Dom{\"a}nen eine geordnete Porenstruktur, die sich mit ansteigender Temperatur vergr{\"o}berte. Auch in der aus verdampfter Salpeters{\"a}ure erzeugten Atmosph{\"a}re bildeten sich Poren. Die Porendurchmesser und spezifischen Oberfl{\"a}chen der Fasern blieben jedoch geringer als in reinem Wasserdampf. In dem anorganischen Matrixger{\"u}st {\"a}nderten sich durch die Pyrolyse die Koordinationsverh{\"a}ltnisse der Al-Ionen. Ausgehend von der mehrheitlich 6-fachen Koordination in den Gel-Fasern kam es zunehmend zur Umlagerung in die 4- und 5-fache Koordination. Bei Pyrolyse in reinem Wasserdampf war diese Koordinationsver{\"a}nderung deutlich schw{\"a}cher ausgepr{\"a}gt als in Stickstoff oder der Atmosph{\"a}re aus verdampfter Salpeters{\"a}ure. W{\"a}hrend der Sinterung treten intermedi{\"a}r gamma-Al2O3 und hexagonales YAlO3 als metastabile Phasen vor der Kristallisation von YAG auf. Mit der Kristallisation von Korund schließt die Phasenbildung der Al2O3-YAG-Fasern je nach vorangegangener Pyrolysebehandlung zwischen 1275 °C und 1315 °C ab. Die Abweichungen in der Kristallisationstemperatur bzw. Keimbildungsdichte von Korund und im Sinterverhalten ließen sich auf die Unterschiede in den amorphen Strukturen der pyrolysierten Fasern zur{\"u}ckf{\"u}hren. Hohe Anteile 6-fach koordinierter Al-Ionen und eine zu hohen spezifischen Oberfl{\"a}chen f{\"u}hrende, feine Porosit{\"a}t erwiesen sich als g{\"u}nstige Strukturmerkmale f{\"u}r pyrolysierte Fasern. Die dabei entstandenen feink{\"o}rnigen, homogenen Gef{\"u}ge konnten dicht gesintert werden und hatten die h{\"o}chsten Festigkeiten und E-Moduln. Kohlenstoffgehalte bis zu 2 Masse-\% wirkten sich in den offenporigen Zwischenprodukten nicht negativ auf das Sinterverhalten aus. In dieser Arbeit wurde gezeigt, daß die Kristallisation der Sol-Gel-abgeleiteten Fasern und damit auch die Ausbildung der keramischen Gef{\"u}ge in entscheidendem Maße von den Pyrolysebedingungen abh{\"a}ngen. Bei einheitlicher Synthese der Gel-Fasern lassen sich durch die Pyrolysebehandlung unterschiedliche Strukturen in den amorphen Zwischenprodukten einstellen, die durch ihre spezifisches Kristallisations- und Sinterverhalten zu unterschiedlichen keramischen Gef{\"u}gen in den Fasern f{\"u}hren. Die Optimierung der Gef{\"u}ge vorstufenabgeleiteter Keramiken durch Zusatz von Keimen ("Seeding") ist seit l{\"a}ngerem bekannt. In Erg{\"a}nzung dazu bietet die gezielte Wahl der Pyrolysebedingungen eine weitere M{\"o}glichkeit zur Steuerung der Gef{\"u}geausbildung in Sol-Gel-Keramiken.}, subject = {Keramikfaser}, language = {de} } @article{LatifiValbuena2019, author = {Latifi, Hooman and Valbuena, Ruben}, title = {Current trends in forest ecological applications of three-dimensional remote sensing: Transition from experimental to operational solutions?}, series = {Forests}, volume = {10}, journal = {Forests}, number = {10}, issn = {1999-4907}, doi = {10.3390/f10100891}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-193282}, year = {2019}, abstract = {The alarming increase in the magnitude and spatiotemporal patterns of changes in composition, structure and function of forest ecosystems during recent years calls for enhanced cross-border mitigation and adaption measures, which strongly entail intensified research to understand the underlying processes in the ecosystems as well as their dynamics.
