Here, I report the first documented observation of a bonobo (Pan paniscus) birth event in the wild, at the Luikotale Bonobo Project field site, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The nulliparous mother’s behaviour before, during and after parturition is described, along with reactions of other community members to the birth and the neonate. Data were collected through focal-animal observations, and the events postpartum were photo-documented. The behaviour and spatial distribution of party members were recorded using scan samples. Parturition occurred during the late morning in a social context, with parous females in close proximity to the parturient mother. Placentophagia occurred immediately after delivery, and the parturient shared the placenta with two of the attending females. I compare this observation with reports of parturition in captive bonobos, and highlight the observed female sociality and social support during the birth event. Plausible adaptive advantages of parturition occurring in a social context are discussed, and accrued observations of birth events in wild and free-ranging primates suggest that females may give birth within proximity of others more frequently than previously thought. This account contributes rare empirical data for examining the interface between female sociality and parturition, and the evolution of parturitional behaviours in primates.}}, author = {{Douglas, Pamela Heidi}}, issn = {{0032-8332}}, journal = {{Primates}}, keywords = {{Birth, Pan paniscus, Parturition, Perinatal behaviour, Placentophagia, Female sociality}}, number = {{4}}, pages = {{533--542}}, publisher = {{Springer Science and Business Media LLC}}, title = {{{Female sociality during the daytime birth of a wild bonobo at Luikotale, Democratic Republic of the Congo}}}, doi = {{10.1007/s10329-014-0436-0}}, volume = {{55}}, year = {{2014}}, } @inproceedings{25273, abstract = {{Automation and control systems include many “intelligent” automation devices, which are usually implemented as complex embedded systems. New methods and tools are demanded to cope with the increasing design complexity, while keeping the project on schedule. Proper handling of nonfunctional system requirements is a key factor during the design of industrial automation systems, since in some application domains they are as important as (sometimes, more important than) functional requirements. This paper presents a model-driven engineering approach, which combines Unified Modeling Language (UML) and aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) to design real-time and embedded automation systems. The proposed approach allows a smooth transition from the initial phases to implementation by using software tools, comprising the system specification and the automatic generation of source code. By combining UML with model-level aspects and a script-base code generation tool, it enables the use of AOSD during system design and implementation, even though the target platform does not natively support such concepts. Experimental results on using this approach to design real-world examples of automation systems are presented. The results indicate a positive impact on the design of automation systems. The encapsulation of nonfunctional requirements was improved, increasing the reuse of developed artifacts. Generated source code statistics indicate that the proposed approach can generated a fair amount of code per model element.}}, author = {{Wehrmeister, Marco A. and Pereira, Carlos E. and Rammig, Franz-Josef}}, booktitle = {{ IEEE Trans. on Industrial Informatics vol. 9 (no. 4)}}, pages = {{2373--2386}}, title = {{{Aspect-Oriented Model-Driven Engineering for Embedded Systems Applied to Automation Systems}}}, year = {{2013}}, } @article{29228, abstract = {{The global economic crisis in the 1890s affected the economy of Greece severely, and in 1893 the Greek State had to stop servicing its foreign debt.

The collapse of market prices for this good seriously affected the Greek treasury and society in the growing regions. The Greek government responded by trying to withhold part of the harvest in fertile years to stabilise world market prices.

The CFRP is used to reinforce highly stressed areas and can be aligned to specific load cases. The locally restricted application of CFRP means that the material costs can be effectively reduced by comparison to parts made entirely of CFRP on account of the expensive production process requiring the use of an autoclave. These parts are thus only used in high-priced products. The production of hybrid CFRP steel structures in a mass production process calls for an efficient production technology. Current research work within the scope of a collaborative research project running at the University of Paderborn is concentrating on the development of manufacturing processes for the efficient production of automotive structural components made up of sheet metal blanks with local CFRP patches. The project is focusing especially on basic research into the production of industrial components. The aim of the investigation is to create an efficient and controlled process for producing CFRP reinforced steel structures from semi-finished hybrid steel-CFRP material. This includes tool concepts and an appropriate process design to permit short process times. The basis of an efficient process design is an in-depth knowledge of the material behaviour, and hence a thorough characterisation was performed. Material parameters were determined for both simulation and forming. For this, monotonic tensile, shear and bending tests were conducted using both uncured prepregs and cured CFRP specimens. To achieve an accurate simulation of the forming process, a special material model for carbon fibre prepregs has been developed which also includes the anisotropic material behaviour resulting from fibre orientation, the viscoelastic behaviour caused by the matrix and the hardening effects that prevail during curing. Recent results show good qualitative agreement and will be presented in this paper. In order to control the properties of the hybrid components, four different tool concepts for the prepreg press technology have been developed and tested. The concepts are presented and the results of experimental investigations are discussed in this paper.}}, author = {{Schmidt, Hans Christian and Damerow, Ulf and Lauter, Christian and Gorny, Bernhard and Hankeln, Frederik and Homberg, Werner and Tröster, Thomas and Maier, Hans Jürgen and Mahnken, Rolf}}, issn = {{1662-9795}}, journal = {{Key Engineering Materials}}, pages = {{295--300}}, title = {{{Manufacturing Processes for Combined Forming of Multi-Material Structures Consisting of Sheet Metal and Local CFRP Reinforcements}}}, doi = {{10.4028/www.scientific.net/kem.504-506.295}}, year = {{2012}}, } @inproceedings{2774, author = {{Kundisch, Dennis and Meier, Christian}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS)}}, location = {{Helsinki, Finland}}, title = {{{A new Perspective on Resource Interactions in IT/IS Project Portfolio Selection}}}, year = {{2011}}, }
