...journey approach is increasingly being taken up by practitioners and researchers to support the design and management of services. As part of this approach, customers and internal resources are often involved as contributors of input in design and management processes. In the current literature on customer...
...flow during the onset period gives irregular saturation fronts and deviation from the square-root-of-time behavior. The deviation was caused by local variation in porosity and permeability or by a nonuniform wettability distribution, and was directly visualized or imaged by positron-emission tomography...
Laser beam welding (LBW) and laser-arc hybrid welding (LAHW) are attractive joining methods of medium thickness (10-20 mm) plates in a single pass welding technique. Both utilize high energy process in order to achieve high penetration depth and high welding speeds offering substantial increase in productivity...
...migration of bubbles in shear flow and observe that bubbles suspended in elastoviscoplastic emulsions organise into chains aligned in the flow direction, similarly to particles in viscoelastic fluids. To investigate the driving mechanism, we perform experiments and simulations on bubble pairs, using...
Fluorinated polymers play a significant role in the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) value chain, which is considered as the most viable solution to limit the CO2 emission in the atmosphere, with the potential to be applied at short-medium times. Indeed, among the various classes of polymers, fluorinated...
Security and scalability are core software qualities, which as non-functional aspects share certain characteristics and challenges in how they are approached during software development and operation. Based on expert interviews, this paper explores interactions and dependencies between security and scalability...
...production will depend on both the coke quality (impurities, structure) and the physical properties of the anode (density, permeability, electric resistivity). Here, a set of industrial anodes of different porosity and permeability, and a set of pilot-scale anodes of different calcined petrol cokes (CPC)...
...hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber (HNBR) at temperatures above and below the glass transition temperature Tg are presented. The compression set in the elastomer is found to increase with cooling up to 100% at the glass transition temperature and decrease with time after unloading even at temperatures below...
...services for fact-checking and verification to counter fake news in social media have increased, little research has investigated how journalists and the public perceive such services. This study reflects the outcomes of REVEAL, a three-year EU research project investigating the use and impact of services for...
This paper presents the NEFFICS platform which provides a foundation for cloud-based open business model innovation, process innovation and service innovation for networked enterprises. Business model innovation is supported with a basis in a business model framework with six views, where each view is...
...proliferation of publicly accessible services can benefit greatly from tool support and automation, both of which are the focus of Semantic Web Service (SWS) frameworks that especially address service discovery, composition and execution. As the first SWS standard, in 2007 the World Wide Web Consortium produced...
...gold nanoparticles and clusters combine the protein's site-specific receptor targeting capabilities with the optical properties imparted by the nano-sized gold. We have described two different synthesis protocols, one yielding fluorescent Tf-stabilized gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and one yielding Tf-stabilized...
