Fine metallic screens are important sub-systems in propellant tank systems of spacecrafts due to their application as filter devices. The flow resistance has to be known for a proper design of tank and feed line systems. In this paper the flow resistance of application-relevant metallic screens is investigated experimentally. The weave types “dutch twilled weave” (DTW) and “broad mesh” (BM) wer...

Zeit für das wirklich Wichtige im Leben zu haben: meine Familie.

Während Qualifikationen und Kompetenzen, die auf informellem Wege erworben werden, immer mehr Beachtung finden, stellt sowohl deren Darstellung als auch die Anerkennung ein meist unüberwindbares Hindernis für Ausstellende und Erwerbende dar.

Manually assigned keywords provide a valuable means for accessing large document collections. They can serve as a shallow document summary and enable more efficient retrieval and aggregation of information. In this paper we investigate keywords in the context of the Dutch Folktale Database, a large collection of stories including fairy tales, jokes and urban legends. We carry out a quantitative...

It is well known that some XML elements correspond to objects (in the sense of object-orientation) and others do not. The question we consider in this paper is what benefits we can derive from paying attention to such object semantics, particularly for the problem of keyword queries. Keyword queries against XML data have been studied extensively in recent years, with several lowest-common-ances...
