The continuum based approaches don’t provide the correct physics in atomic scales. On the other hand, the molecular based approaches are limited by the length and simulated process time. As an attractive alternative, this paper proposes the Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method (FIMM) for computationally and mathematically efficient modeling of solid structures. The approach is applicable to mult...

Der Beitrag stellt auf Basis einer ersten empirischen Untersuchung den Status Quo des Geschäftsprozessmanagements (GPM) in der kommunalen Wirtschaftsförderung dar. Obwohl GPM in der öffentlichen Verwaltung ein Instrument von wachsender Bedeutung darstellt, wurde der Bereich kommunaler Selbstverwaltung hierzu bislang wissenschaftlich nicht evaluiert. Die vorliegende qualitative Voruntersuchung b...

In this paper we show how the abstract behaviours of higherorder systems can be modelled as final coalgebras of suitable behavioural functors. These functors have the challenging peculiarity to be circularly defined with their own final coalgebra. Our main contribution is a general construction for defining these functors, solving this circularity which is the essence of higher-order behaviours...
