@article{65242, abstract = {{Abstract With the growing demand for lightweight solutions to reduce emissions, especially in the transportation, automotive and aerospace sectors, recyclable, continuous fiber-reinforced plastic composite laminates with a thermoplastic matrix are of rising interest. To achieve their maximum mechanical properties, the fiber-matrix adhesion (FMA) is critical. In this work, continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic laminates (CFRTPL) with a polypropylene (PP) matrix and twill woven glass fiber fabrics are produced by film stacking. The films used contain different amounts of maleic-anhydride-grafted PP (MA-g-PP) as a coupling agent to produce CFRTPL of different mechanical strengths. To analyze the FMA, the CFRTPL are subjected to Charpy-impact and tensile tests. Additionally, single fiber pull-out tests (SFPT) are conducted to further investigate the effect of MA-g-PP on the FMA. The results of the SFPT show an improvement in apparent interfacial shear strength (AIFSS) when the MA-g-PP content is increased, which can be attributed to an increase in FMA. However, the research shows that MA-g-PP has a low impact on the mechanical properties if the force is applied parallel to the warp and weft threads during tensile testing and the results of the Charpy-impact testing suffer from embrittlement of the matrix material. Subsequently, the results of this study are compared to three-point flexural tests conducted in a previous study. It can be concluded that tensile and impact tests are not suited to investigate FMA on a macroscopic scale, while SFPT and flexural tests provide a better alternative.}}, author = {{Moritzer, Elmar and Brandes, Philipp and Wittler, Maurice and Claes, Leander and Wippermann, Mareen and Haag, Markus and Gries, Thomas and Henning, Bernd}}, issn = {{0930-777X}}, journal = {{International Polymer Processing}}, publisher = {{Walter de Gruyter GmbH}}, title = {{{Fiber-matrix adhesion in glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite laminates and its effect on mechanical properties}}}, doi = {{10.1515/ipp-2025-0077}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{65247, author = {{Hanke, Jule Lara and Schwarz, Lea Marie and Engemann, Mario}}, issn = {{0176-179X}}, journal = {{Zeitschrift PädagogikUNTERRICHT}}, number = {{1}}, pages = {{47--55}}, title = {{{Zum Umgang mit persönlicher Betroffenheit im Pädagogikunterricht.

However, associating mobile devices to cells to maximize overall network performance, a.k.a. cell (re)selection, remains a key challenge for mobile operators. Today, cell (re)selection parameters are typically configured manually based on operator experience and rarely adapted to dynamic network conditions. In this work, we ask: Can an agent automatically learn and adapt cell (re)selection parameters to consistently improve network performance? We present a reinforcement learning (RL)-based framework called CellPilot that adaptively tunes cell (re)selection parameters by learning spatiotemporal patterns of mobile network dynamics. Our study with real-world data demonstrates that even a lightweight RL agent can outperform conventional heuristic reconfigurations by up to 167%, while generalizing effectively across different network scenarios. These results indicate that data-driven approaches can significantly improve cell (re)selection configurations and enhance mobile network performance.}}, author = {{Illian, Marvin and Khalili, Ramin and Rocha, Antonio A. de A. and Wang, Lin}}, booktitle = {{arXiv:2601.04083}}, title = {{{Cells on Autopilot: Adaptive Cell (Re)Selection via Reinforcement Learning}}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inproceedings{65249, author = {{Shaaban KabakiboKabakibo, Huzaifa and Trivedi, Animesh and Wang, Lin}}, booktitle = {{The 9th Annual Conference on Machine Learning and Systems (MLSys)}}, location = {{Bellevue, WA}}, title = {{{Breaking the Ice: Analyzing Cold Start Latency in vLLM}}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inproceedings{65250, author = {{Zohdi, Sepideh and Wang, Lin}}, booktitle = {{The 6th Workshop on Machine Learning and Systems (EuroMLSys)}}, location = {{Edinburg}}, title = {{{Before the First Token: Benchmarking Data Preprocessing in Vision-Language Models }}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inproceedings{65013, author = {{Illian, Marvin and Khalili, Ramin and A. de A.

To this end, experiments are performed, which show the following characteristics: localization phenomena in the form of a shear band, softening behavior in the force‐displacement curve, and asymmetric behavior for compression and tension. To model this complex material behavior, a micromorphic continuum is used. In the present contribution, we focus on the linear‐elastic regime and demonstrate the identifiability of micromorphic material parameters under deliberately induced inhomogeneous deformation states. In addition to the degrees of freedom of a classical continuum, the micromorphic model has additional degrees of freedom, introduced here in a phenomenological sense to represent kinematically enriched deformation modes associated with the granular microstructure. Accordingly, the micromorphic fields are not interpreted as a separate physical scale (e.g., “binder” vs. “grains”), but as an effective continuum description at the specimen scale. This contribution addresses parameter identification for a micromorphic model of cold‐box sand, with a clear separation between homogeneous deformation states governing classical elastic parameters and inhomogeneous states required to activate and identify micromorphic length‐scale parameters. The main challenge lies in identifying the micro material parameters. To determine these, the corresponding gradient terms in the constitutive formulation must be triggered via properly tuned experiments. Micro‐parameter identification is demonstrated using synthetic data generated from a boundary‐value problem with inhomogeneous displacement fields. The chosen benchmark enables controlled activation of gradient terms and thereby renders optimization‐based identification of micromorphic parameters feasible. The synthetic example is deliberately chosen to assess feasibility and identifiability under controlled conditions, thereby isolating micromorphic identifiability aspects from experimental uncertainties. The novelty of the contribution lies in explicitly linking micromorphic parameter identifiability to kinematic inhomogeneity, and in demonstrating this link within a tractable forward– inverse setting for a linear‐elastic micromorphic continuum.}}, author = {{Börger, Alexander and Mahnken, Rolf and Caylak, Ismail and Ostwald, Richard}}, issn = {{1617-7061}}, journal = {{Proceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics}}, number = {{2}}, publisher = {{Wiley}}, title = {{{Aspects of Parameter Identification for a Micromorphic Continuum applied to a Cold‐Box Sand}}}, doi = {{10.1002/pamm.70093}}, volume = {{26}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{65265, abstract = {{Abstract Background Research on procrastination mostly focuses on person‐related antecedents and neglects situational and social factors, such as group work. Prior research indicates that conjunctive and additive group work may increase individual effort and performance as compared to individual work. Aims Based on these findings, we investigate whether conjunctive and additive group work may also help reduce procrastination as compared to individual work. Methods In a registered field experiment, N  = 218 students with high levels of trait procrastination worked on an academic task over the course of 10 days in one of three conditions (individual work vs. conjunctive group work vs. additive group work). Dependent variables comprised task procrastination, task performance, and positive and negative task‐related affect. Results Regarding conjunctive group work, results are mixed, with some evidence that conjunctive group work leads to lower procrastination as compared to individual work. Both types of group work resulted in higher negative task‐related affect when assessed prospectively. No other effects were found. Conclusions The findings contribute to the idea that targeted changes in the learning environment, such as the implementation of group work, may help reduce procrastination. }}, author = {{Koppenborg, Markus and Hüffmeier, Joachim and Klingsieck, Katrin B.}}, issn = {{0007-0998}}, journal = {{British Journal of Educational Psychology}}, publisher = {{Wiley}}, title = {{{Is procrastination among students lower in group work?

We synthesize scattered systems knowledge from diverse disciplines to provide a unified level of abstraction for complex information system design. We apply the framework to a use case of business reputation systems to show how the systems lens informs the design of a novel, complex information system.

Second, it offers a unified level of abstraction grounded in systems theory that serves as a coherent basis for artifact design.
