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...

Allele-specific gene expression can underlie altered transcript abundance in zebrafish mutants.
In model organisms, RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) is frequently used to assess the effect of genetic mutations on cellular and developmental processes. Typically, animals heterozygous for a mutation are crossed to produce offspring...
Time-energy uncertainty does not create particles
Abstract
In this contribution in honour of Paul Busch, we criticise the claims of many expositions that the time-energy uncertainty principle allows both a violation of energy...
Time-energy uncertainty does not create particles
Abstract: In this contribution in honour of Paul Busch, we criticise the claims of many expositions that the time-energy uncertainty principle allows both a violation of energy conservation and particle creation, provided that...

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...
