For a singularly perturbed parabolic - ODE system we construct the asymptotic expansion in the small parameter in the case, when the degenerate equation has a double root. Such systems, which are called partly dissipative reaction-diffusion systems, are used to model various natural processes, including the signal transmission along axons, solid combustion and the kinetics of some chemical reactions. It turns out that the algorithm of the construction of the boundary layer functions and the behavior of the solution in the boundary layers essentially differ from that ones in case of a simple root. The multizonal initial and boundary layers behaviour was stated.
We investigate how the technology acceptance and learning experience of the digital education platform HPI Schul-Cloud (HPI School Cloud) for German secondary school teachers can be improved by proposing a user-centered research and development framework. We highlight the importance of developing digital learning technologies in a user-centered way to take differences in the requirements of educators and students into account. We suggest applying qualitative and quantitative methods to build a solid understanding of a learning platform's users, their needs, requirements, and their context of use. After concept development and idea generation of features and areas of opportunity based on the user research, we emphasize on the application of a multi-attribute utility analysis decision-making framework to prioritize ideas rationally, taking results of user research into account. Afterward, we recommend applying the principle build-learn-iterate to build prototypes in different resolutions while learning from user tests and improving the selected opportunities. Last but not least, we propose an approach for continuous short- and long-term user experience controlling and monitoring, extending existing web- and learning analytics metrics.
New Public Governance (NPG) as a paradigm for collaborative forms of public service delivery and Blockchain governance are trending topics for researchers and practitioners alike. Thus far, each topic has, on the whole, been discussed separately. This paper presents the preliminary results of ongoing research which aims to shed light on the more concrete benefits of Blockchain for the purpose of NPG. For the first time, a conceptual analysis is conducted on process level to spot benefits and limitations of Blockchain-based governance. Per process element, Blockchain key characteristics are mapped to functional aspects of NPG from a governance perspective. The preliminary results show that Blockchain offers valuable support for governments seeking methods to effectively coordinate co-producing networks. However, the extent of benefits of Blockchain varies across the process elements. It becomes evident that there is a need for off-chain processes. It is, therefore, argued in favour of intensifying research on off-chain governance processes to better understand the implications for and influences on on-chain governance.
Monte-Carlo calculations are carried out to simulate the light transport in dense materials. Focus lies on the calculation of diffuse light transmission through films of scattering and absorbing media considering additionally the effect of dependent scattering. Different influences like interaction type between particles, particle size, composition etc. can be studied by this program. Simulations in this study show major influences on the diffuse transmission. Further simulations are carried out to model a sunscreen film and study best compositions of this film and will be presented.

Monitoring is a key prerequisite for self-adaptive software and many other forms of operating software. Monitoring relevant lower level phenomena like the occurrences of exceptions and diagnosis data requires to carefully examine which detailed information is really necessary and feasible to monitor. Adaptive monitoring permits observing a greater variety of details with less overhead, if most of the time the MAPE-K loop can operate using only a small subset of all those details. However, engineering such an adaptive monitoring is a major engineering effort on its own that further complicates the development of self-adaptive software. The proposed approach overcomes the outlined problems by providing generic adaptive monitoring via runtime models. It reduces the effort to introduce and apply adaptive monitoring by avoiding additional development effort for controlling the monitoring adaptation. Although the generic approach is independent from the monitoring purpose, it still allows for substantial savings regarding the monitoring resource consumption as demonstrated by an example.
Monitoring is a key functionality for automated decision making as it is performed by self-adaptive systems, too. Effective monitoring provides the relevant information on time. This can be achieved with exhaustive monitoring causing a high overhead consumption of economical and ecological resources. In contrast, our generic adaptive monitoring approach supports effectiveness with increased efficiency. Also, it adapts to changes regarding the information demand and the monitored system without additional configuration and software implementation effort. The approach observes the executions of runtime model queries and processes change events to determine the currently required monitoring configuration. In this paper we explicate different possibilities to use the approach and evaluate their characteristics regarding the phenomenon detection time and the monitoring effort. Our approach allows balancing between those two characteristics. This makes it an interesting option for the monitoring function of self-adaptive systems because for them usually very short-lived phenomena are not relevant.
