In this work, a novel approach for the detection of mercury vapor in air is presented using differential heat dissipation measurements. Therefore, the temperature difference between an amalgamated and a non-exposed gold film is recorded, while heating both films with identical electrical power. As the amalgam layer lowers the heat dissipation, the amalgamated gold film reaches higher temperatur...

This study considers the effectiveness of a “balanced amalgamated” approach to teaching graduate level introductory statistics. Although some research stresses replacing traditional lectures with more active learning methods, this is combine effective lecturing and team projects. The results indicate that such balanced amalgamated not only improves student cognition course material, but morale ...

Triple Graph Grammars (TGGs) are a well-known technique for rule-based specification of bidirectional model transformation. TGG rules build up consistent models simultaneously and are operationalized automatically to forward and backward rules describing single transformation steps in the respective direction. These operational rules, however, are of fixed size and cannot describe transformatio...
