Typically, competitors are involved that adjust their prices in response to other competitors with different frequencies. We analyze stochastic dynamic pricing models under competition for the sale of durable goods. Given a competitor's pricing strategy, we show how to derive optimal response strategies that take the anticipated competitor's price adjustments into account. We study resulting price cycles and the associated expected long-term profits. We show that reaction frequencies have a major impact on a strategy's performance. In order not to act predictable our model also allows to include randomized reaction times. Additionally, we study to which extent optimal response strategies of active competitors are affected by additional passive competitors that use constant prices. It turns out that optimized feedback strategies effectively avoid a decline in price. They help to gain profits, especially, when aggressive competitor s are involved.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BenderGronau2017, author = {Bender, Benedict and Gronau, Norbert}, title = {Coring on Digital Platforms}, series = {Proceedings of the 38th International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS)}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 38th International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS)}, number = {8}, publisher = {Association for Information Systems (AIS)}, address = {Atlanta}, isbn = {978-0-9966831-5-9}, pages = {5256 -- 5274}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Today's mobile devices are part of powerful business ecosystems, which usually involve digital platforms.

The paper makes three contributions. First, a systematization of coring activities is developed. Coring modes are differentiated by the amount of coring and application maintenance. Second, the case study revealed that the phenomenon of platform coring is present on digital platforms for mobile devices. Third, the fundamentals of coring are discussed as a first step towards theoretical development. Even though coring constitutes a potential threat for third-party developers regarding their functional differentiation, an idea of what a beneficial partnership incorporating coring activities could look like is developed here.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TsuprykovBuseSkobloetal.2017, author = {Tsuprykov, Oleg and Buse, Claudia and Skoblo, Roman and Hocher, Berthold}, title = {Free 25 (OH) vitamin D, but not total 25 (OH) vitamin D, is strongly correlated with gestational age and calcium in normal human pregnancy}, series = {Journal of bone and mineral research}, volume = {32}, booktitle = {Journal of bone and mineral research}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0884-0431}, pages = {S323 -- S323}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OPUS4-43816, title = {Giacomo Leopardi - Dichtung als inszenierte Selbstt{\"a}uschung in der Krise des Bewusstseins}, series = {Ginestra ; 25/26 (2015/2016) Sanssouci - Forschungen zur Romanistik ; 14}, booktitle = {Ginestra ; 25/26 (2015/2016) Sanssouci - Forschungen zur Romanistik ; 14}, editor = {Klettke, Cornelia and Neumeister, Sebastian}, publisher = {Frank \& Timme}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-7329-0256-9}, pages = {339}, year = {2017}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{KiyStrickroth2017, author = {Kiy, Alexander and Strickroth, Sven}, title = {Potentiale aufzeigen und Synergien nutzen}, series = {Workshopband der 15. e-Learning Fachtagung Informatik (DeLFI)}, booktitle = {Workshopband der 15. e-Learning Fachtagung Informatik (DeLFI)}, editor = {Ullrich, Casten and Wessner, Martin}, publisher = {Kollen}, address = {Bonn}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Audience Response Systems (ARS) are an enhancement to teaching in higher education with the aim to strengthen participant activation and the involvement of students directly in lectures.

All panels on climate evolution predict future scenarios of increasing frequency and magnitude of floods which are likely to lead to huge geomorphic adjustments of river channels so major metamorphosis of fluvial systems is expected as a result of global change. Such pressures are likely to give rise to major ecological and economic changes and challenges that governments need to address as a matter of priority. Changes in river flow regimes associated with global change are therefore ushering in a new era, where there is a critical need to evaluate hydro-geomorphological hazards from headwaters to lowland areas (flooding can be not just a problem related to being under the water). A key question is how our understanding of these hazards associated with global change can be improved; improvement has to come from integrated research which includes the climatological and physical conditions that could influence the hydrology and sediment generation and hence the conveyance of water and sediments (including the river's capacity, i.e. amount of sediment, and competence, i.e. channel deformation) and the vulnerabilities and economic repercussions of changing hydrological hazards (including the evaluation of the hydro-geomorphological risks too). Within this framework, the purpose of this international symposium is to bring together researchers from several disciplines as hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, hydraulic engineering, environmental science, geography, economy (and any other related discipline) to discuss the effects of global change over the river system in relation with floods. The symposium is organized by means of invited talks given by prominent experts, oral lectures, poster sessions and discussion sessions for each individual topic; it will try to improve our understanding of how rivers are likely to evolve as a result of global change and hence address the associated hazards of that fluvial environmental change concerning flooding. Four main topics are going to be addressed: - Modelling global change (i.e. climate and land-use) at relevant spatial (regional, local) and temporal (from the long-term to the single-event) scales. - Measuring and modelling river floods from the hydrological, sediment transport (both suspended and bedload) and channel morphology points of view at different spatial (from the catchment to the reach) and temporal (from the long-term to the single-event) scales. - Evaluation and assessment of current and future river flooding hazards and risks in a global change perspective. - Catchment management to face river floods in a changing world.

We hope you will enjoy your participation at the International Symposium on the Effects of Global Change on Floods, Fluvial Geomorphology and Related Hazards in Mountainous Rivers and have an exciting and profitable experience. Finally, we would like to thank all speakers, participants, supporters, and sponsors for their contributions that for sure will make of this event a very remarkable and fruitful meeting.
