Based on these data, the kinetic parameters (the activation energy, the pre-exponential factor) were obtained of a one-step pyrolysis reaction in supposition of a first-order reaction using simple mathematical fitting and an iso-conversion method. Validity of the obtained kinetic parameters was verified by comparing the experimental data on dependence of the decomposition rate on temperature in the broad range of the heating rates with the results of simulating the above dependence, using these kinetic parameters. These parameters, obtained in the broad temperature range, may be further used in numerical simulation of PMMA combustion under fire conditions and for assessing the polymer's flammability.}}, author = {{Korobeinichev, Oleg P. and Paletsky, Alexey А. and Gonchikzhapov, Maksim B. and Glaznev, Roman K. and Gerasimov, Ivan E. and Naganovsky, Yuri K. and Shundrina, Irina K. and Snegirev, Alexey Y. and Vinu, R.}}, issn = {{0040-6031}}, journal = {{Thermochimica Acta}}, keywords = {{Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Condensed Matter Physics, Instrumentation}}, pages = {{17--25}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Kinetics of thermal decomposition of PMMA at different heating rates and in a wide temperature range}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.tca.2018.10.019}}, volume = {{671}}, year = {{2018}}, } @article{4947, abstract = {{Manufacturers increasingly integrate information and communication technologies into their products so that they can provide IT-based services. Organizations that formerly concentrated on transactional sales thus confront a new challenge associated with managing service usage—retention and extracting value from investments in smart technology. This study combines a marketing and an information systems perspective in a field study conducted jointly with a large European car manufacturer. Understanding the renewal decision for IT-based service contracts requires knowledge from both disciplines. The paper shows that combining behavioral predictor variables stemming from marketing research and technology-related perceptual variables stemming from technology acceptance research increases the explanatory power and prediction accuracy of forecasting models for customer renewal decisions. Specifically, the authors show that perceptions of usefulness become more important the longer customers use IT-based services and the more services they use within the service contract.}}, author = {{Wangenheim, Florian v and Wünderlich, Nancy and Schumann, Jan H}}, journal = {{Journal of Business Research}}, keywords = {{IT-based service, Smart services, Contract renewal, Retention, Customer churn, Free trial}}, number = {{79}}, pages = {{181----188}}, publisher = {{Elsevier}}, title = {{{Renew or cancel?

Reliability of these transducers is an important aspect in their application. Prognostics, which involve continuous monitoring of the health of technical systems and using this information to estimate the current health state and consequently predict the remaining useful lifetime (RUL), can be used to increase the reliability, safety, and availability of the transducers. This is achieved by utilizing the health state and RUL predictions to adaptively control the usage of the components or to schedule appropriate maintenance without interrupting operation. In this work, a prognostic approach utilizing self-sensing, where electric signals of a piezoelectric transducer are used as the condition monitoring data, is proposed. The approach involves training machine learning algorithms to model the degradation of the transducers through a health index and the use of the learned model to estimate the health index of similar transducers. The current health index is then used to estimate RUL of test components. The feasibility of the approach is demonstrated using piezoelectric bimorphs and the results show that the method is accurate in predicting the health index and RUL.}}, author = {{Kimotho, James Kuria and Sextro, Walter and Hemsel, Tobias}}, booktitle = {{IEEE Transactions on Reliability}}, keywords = {{Estimation of Remaining Useful Lifetime of Piezoelectric Transducers Based on Self-Sensing}}, pages = {{1 -- 10}}, title = {{{Estimation of Remaining Useful Lifetime of Piezoelectric Transducers Based on Self-Sensing}}}, doi = {{10.1109/TR.2017.2710260}}, year = {{2017}}, } @inproceedings{10676, author = {{Ho, Nam and Kaufmann, Paul and Platzner, Marco}}, booktitle = {{2017 International Conference on Field Programmable Technology (ICFPT)}}, keywords = {{Linux, cache storage, microprocessor chips, multiprocessing systems, LEON3-Linux based multicore processor, MiBench suite, block sizes, cache adaptation, evolvable caches, memory-to-cache-index mapping function, processor caches, reconfigurable cache mapping optimization, reconfigurable hardware technology, replacement strategies, standard Linux OS, time a complete hardware implementation, Hardware, Indexes, Linux, Measurement, Multicore processing, Optimization, Training}}, pages = {{215--218}}, title = {{{Evolvable caches: Optimization of reconfigurable cache mappings for a LEON3/Linux-based multi-core processor}}}, doi = {{10.1109/FPT.2017.8280144}}, year = {{2017}}, } @inproceedings{10780, author = {{Guettatfi, Zakarya and Hübner, Philipp and Platzner, Marco and Rinner, Bernhard}}, booktitle = {{12th International Symposium on Reconfigurable Communication-centric Systems-on-Chip (ReCoSoC)}}, keywords = {{embedded systems, image sensors, power aware computing, wireless sensor networks, Zynq-based VSN node prototype, computational self-awareness, design approach, platform levels, power consumption, visual sensor networks, visual sensor nodes, Cameras, Hardware, Middleware, Multicore processing, Operating systems, Runtime, Reconfigurable platforms, distributed embedded systems, performance-resource trade-off, self-awareness, visual sensor nodes}}, pages = {{1--8}}, title = {{{Computational self-awareness as design approach for visual sensor nodes}}}, doi = {{10.1109/ReCoSoC.2017.8016147}}, year = {{2017}}, } @article{32445, author = {{Yu, Xiaoqian and Picker, Marie-Theres and Schneider, Martin and Herberg, Artjom and Pascual, Sagrario and Fontaine, Laurent and Kuckling, Dirk}}, issn = {{1022-1352}}, journal = {{Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics}}, keywords = {{Materials Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Polymers and Plastics, Physical and Theoretical Chemistry, Condensed Matter Physics}}, number = {{5}}, publisher = {{Wiley}}, title = {{{Synthesis of Amphiphilic Block Copolymers Based on SKA by RAFT Polymerization}}}, doi = {{10.1002/macp.201700506}}, volume = {{219}}, year = {{2017}}, } @article{34304, abstract = {{Extensive molecular dynamics simulations reveal two distinct isoforms of the cyanobacteriochrome AnPixJg2 (in its Pr state) with different chromophore conformations, yielding implications for spectroscopic properties.
