Das Benzoldimer ist ein Prototypsystem f r die Untersuchung nichtkovalenter Wechselwirkungen zwischen aromatischen Systemen, die durch Dispersionskr fte bestimmt werden. Es weist zwei miteinander konkurrierende Gleichgewichtsstrukturen auf: eine gekippte, T-fçrmige (edge-toface) und eine, in der die beiden Benzolringe parallel angeordnet, aber zueinander verschoben sind (stacked). Sowohl der ve...

Deutschland steht 2009 vor einem überaus schwierigen Jahr. Vorausschauende Manager schielen aber weniger auf die nicht beeinflussbaren Eckdaten, sondern finden heraus, welche Verbesserungspotenziale in ihrer Firma schlummern. Eine Alternative zu Cost-Cutting-Programmen kann die Optimierung des Projektmanagements sein. Ein kritischer Blick auf den Markt der dafür erforderlichen Projektmanagement...

High speed and absence of a precise control over pressure distribution confine sheet Electromagnetic Forming into a die to simple shapes having shallow depth. It is possible to reach a higher depth by using a convex punch instead of a concave die. In this study, sheet Electromagnetic Forming on a punch and sheet Electromagnetic Forming into a die are investigated. The electromagnetic part of th...

The hydrostatic extrusion is a new method of extrusion process. The most important advantage of this method is reduction of friction and close tolerance for the coating thickness. In this study, the hydrostatic extrusion simulation of bimetallic wires has performed using of finite element method. In the following the advantages of hydrostatic extrusion compared to the direct extrusion are prese...

This article presents the author's personal reflections and experiences in providing case management for patients with end-of-life issues. Through case examples and practical guidelines, the reader will gain an insight into dealing with terminal states in the acute care setting. References were drawn from recent literature on the subject, and were the stimulus to this piece.

Empirische Untersuchungen sind aus der Softwareforschung nicht mehr wegzudenken. Explorative empirische Studien einschließlich kontrollierter Experimente vergleichen verschiedene Techniken, um festzustellen, ob bei Verwendung der Techniken Unterschiede in der Qualität von Software, der Bearbeitungszeit oder anderen Eigenschaften tatsächlich zu beobachten sind. Diese Studien bestätigen oder verw...

The main objective of this work was to design a novel device for compaction of metal powders so that the green parts could be ejected with applying a negligible force and without the need for any lubricant in either an admixed form or applied to the die wall. For this purpose a 40 mm diameter one-piece die was envisaged which would elastically contracted 0.076 mm before compaction and after com...

In this paper, an analytical method for noncircular shape extrusion is presented. Using this method, non-linear deformation field can be described with Hermit cubic spline which is prescribed by the boundary conditions of the die at its entryand exit. The upper bound method has been used to obtain optimum coefficient of the tangential boundary conditions. The results show that the optimum tange...
