User Experience (UX) describes the holistic experience of a user before, during, and after interaction with a platform, product, or service. UX adds value and attraction to their sole functionality and is therefore highly relevant for firms. The increased interest in UX has produced a vast amount of scholarly research since 1983. The research field is, therefore, complex and scattered. Conducting a bibliometric analysis, we aim at structuring the field quantitatively and rather abstractly. We employed citation analyses, co-citation analyses, and content analyses to evaluate productivity and impact of extant research. We suggest that future research should focus more on business and management related topics.
Terminology is a critical instrument for each researcher. Different terminologies for the same research object may arise in different research communities. By this inconsistency, many synergistic effects get lost. Theories and models will be more understandable and reusable if a common terminology is applied. This paper examines the terminological (in)consistence for the research field of job-shop scheduling by a literature review. There is an enormous variety in the choice of terms and mathematical notation for the same concept. The comparability, reusability and combinability of scheduling methods is unnecessarily hampered by the arbitrary use of homonyms and synonyms. The acceptance in the community of used variables and notation forms is shown by means of a compliance quotient. This is proven by the evaluation of 240 scientific publications on planning methods.
Die Digitalisierung von Produktionsprozessen schreitet mit einer hohen Intensität voran. Weiterbildung hat eine hohe Relevanz für betriebliche Transformationsprozesse. Die betriebliche Weiterbildungspraxis ist den aktuellen Herausforderungen der Digitalisierung jedoch nicht gewachsen. Herausforderungen sind Kompetenzlücken der Mitarbeiter, ungewisse Anforderungsprofile und Tätigkeitstypen, demographischer Wandel sowie veraltete didaktische Ansätze. Zudem wird bestehender inhaltlicher und pädagogischer Freiraum bei der Gestaltung von Weiterbildung oftmals nur unzureichend ausgenutzt. Die skizzierte Situation führt dazu, dass der Mehrwert gegenwärtiger Qualifizierungsangebote sowohl für Unternehmen als auch Beschäftigte nicht ausgeschöpft wird. Ausgehend von Veränderungen durch Digitalisierung in der Produktion und deren Auswirkungen auf die Kompetenzentwicklung diskutiert dieser Beitrag Herausforderungen gegenwärtiger betrieblicher Weiterbildung. Er leitet Handlungsempfehlungen ab, die mithilfe von Beispielen gewerkschaftlich unterstützter Weiterbildungspraxis illustriert werden. Im Ergebnis erhalten Interessierte einen Überblick über gegenwärtige Herausforderungen und Handlungsempfehlungen für die Gestaltung und Durchführung von Weiterbildung in Zeiten der Digitalisierung.
Motivation:
Constraint-based modeling approaches allow the estimation of maximal in vivo enzyme catalytic rates that can serve as proxies for enzyme turnover numbers. Yet, genome-scale flux profiling remains a challenge in deploying these approaches to catalogue proxies for enzyme catalytic rates across organisms.
Results:
Here, we formulate a constraint-based approach, termed NIDLE-flux, to estimate fluxes at a genome-scale level by using the principle of efficient usage of expressed enzymes. Using proteomics data from Escherichia coli, we show that the fluxes estimated by NIDLE-flux and the existing approaches are in excellent qualitative agreement (Pearson correlation > 0.9). We also find that the maximal in vivo catalytic rates estimated by NIDLE-flux exhibits a Pearson correlation of 0.74 with in vitro enzyme turnover numbers. However, NIDLE-flux results in a 1.4-fold increase in the size of the estimated maximal in vivo catalytic rates in comparison to the contenders. Integration of the maximum in vivo catalytic rates with publically available proteomics and metabolomics data provide a better match to fluxes estimated by NIDLE-flux. Therefore, NIDLE-flux facilitates more effective usage of proteomics data to estimate proxies for kcatomes.
A core operator of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) is the mutation. Recently, much attention has been devoted to the study of mutation operators with dynamic and non-uniform mutation rates. Following up on this area of work, we propose a new mutation operator and analyze its performance on the (1 + 1) Evolutionary Algorithm (EA). Our analyses show that this mutation operator competes with pre-existing ones, when used by the (1 + 1) EA on classes of problems for which results on the other mutation operators are available. We show that the (1 + 1) EA using our mutation operator finds a (1/3)-approximation ratio on any non-negative submodular function in polynomial time. We also consider the problem of maximizing a symmetric submodular function under a single matroid constraint and show that the (1 + 1) EA using our operator finds a (1/3)-approximation within polynomial time. This performance matches that of combinatorial local search algorithms specifically designed to solve these problems and outperforms them with constant probability. Finally, we evaluate the performance of the (1 + 1) EA using our operator experimentally by considering two applications: (a) the maximum directed cut problem on real-world graphs of different origins, with up to 6.6 million vertices and 56 million edges and (b) the symmetric mutual information problem using a four month period air pollution data set. In comparison with uniform mutation and a recently proposed dynamic scheme, our operator comes out on top on these instances.
Analysis of protrusion dynamics in amoeboid cell motility by means of regularized contour flows
(2021)
Amoeboid cell motility is essential for a wide range of biological processes including wound healing, embryonic morphogenesis, and cancer metastasis. It relies on complex dynamical patterns of cell shape changes that pose long-standing challenges to mathematical modeling and raise a need for automated and reproducible approaches to extract quantitative morphological features from image sequences. Here, we introduce a theoretical framework and a computational method for obtaining smooth representations of the spatiotemporal contour dynamics from stacks of segmented microscopy images. Based on a Gaussian process regression we propose a one-parameter family of regularized contour flows that allows us to continuously track reference points (virtual markers) between successive cell contours. We use this approach to define a coordinate system on the moving cell boundary and to represent different local geometric quantities in this frame of reference. In particular, we introduce the local marker dispersion as a measure to identify localized membrane expansions and provide a fully automated way to extract the properties of such expansions, including their area and growth time. The methods are available as an open-source software package called AmoePy, a Python-based toolbox for analyzing amoeboid cell motility (based on time-lapse microscopy data), including a graphical user interface and detailed documentation. Due to the mathematical rigor of our framework, we envision it to be of use for the development of novel cell motility models. We mainly use experimental data of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum to illustrate and validate our approach. <br /> Author summary Amoeboid motion is a crawling-like cell migration that plays an important key role in multiple biological processes such as wound healing and cancer metastasis. This type of cell motility results from expanding and simultaneously contracting parts of the cell membrane. From fluorescence images, we obtain a sequence of points, representing the cell membrane, for each time step. By using regression analysis on these sequences, we derive smooth representations, so-called contours, of the membrane. Since the number of measurements is discrete and often limited, the question is raised of how to link consecutive contours with each other. In this work, we present a novel mathematical framework in which these links are described by regularized flows allowing a certain degree of concentration or stretching of neighboring reference points on the same contour. This stretching rate, the so-called local dispersion, is used to identify expansions and contractions of the cell membrane providing a fully automated way of extracting properties of these cell shape changes. We applied our methods to time-lapse microscopy data of the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum.
Dass Technologien wie Machine Learning-Anwendungen oder Big bzw. Smart Data- Verfahren unbedingt Daten in ausreichender Menge und Güte benötigen, erscheint inzwischen als Binsenweisheit. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat insbesondere der EU-Gesetzgeber für sich zuletzt ein neues Betätigungsfeld entdeckt, indem er versucht, auf unterschiedlichen Wegen Anreize zum Datenteilen zu schaffen, um Innovation zu kreieren. Hierzu zählt auch eine geradezu wohltönend mit ,,Datenaltruismus‘‘ verschlagwortete Konstellation. Der Beitrag stellt die diesbezüglichen Regulierungserwägungen auf supranationaler Ebene dar und nimmt eine erste Analyse vor.
Die Digitalisierung unseres Lebens löst die Grenzen zwischen Privat- und Berufsleben immer weiter auf. Bekanntes Beispiel ist das Homeoffice. Arbeitgeber begegnen aber auch zahlreichen weiteren Trends in diesem Zusammenhang. Dazu gehören „workation“, also die Verbindung zwischen Arbeit („work“) und Urlaub („vacation“) ebenso wie „bleisure“, dh die Verbindung von Dienstreisen („business“) und Urlaub („leisure“). Der Beitrag geht den rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen hierfür nach.
Intrinsic decomposition refers to the problem of estimating scene characteristics, such as albedo and shading, when one view or multiple views of a scene are provided. The inverse problem setting, where multiple unknowns are solved given a single known pixel-value, is highly under-constrained. When provided with correlating image and depth data, intrinsic scene decomposition can be facilitated using depth-based priors, which nowadays is easy to acquire with high-end smartphones by utilizing their depth sensors. In this work, we present a system for intrinsic decomposition of RGB-D images on smartphones and the algorithmic as well as design choices therein. Unlike state-of-the-art methods that assume only diffuse reflectance, we consider both diffuse and specular pixels. For this purpose, we present a novel specularity extraction algorithm based on a multi-scale intensity decomposition and chroma inpainting. At this, the diffuse component is further decomposed into albedo and shading components. We use an inertial proximal algorithm for non-convex optimization (iPiano) to ensure albedo sparsity. Our GPU-based visual processing is implemented on iOS via the Metal API and enables interactive performance on an iPhone 11 Pro. Further, a qualitative evaluation shows that we are able to obtain high-quality outputs. Furthermore, our proposed approach for specularity removal outperforms state-of-the-art approaches for real-world images, while our albedo and shading layer decomposition is faster than the prior work at a comparable output quality. Manifold applications such as recoloring, retexturing, relighting, appearance editing, and stylization are shown, each using the intrinsic layers obtained with our method and/or the corresponding depth data.
