After many years of tremendous growth, the patent activities in nanotechnology have slightly decreased and the growth of publication numbers in this field is slowing down. With these patterns nanotechnology exhibits typical characteristics of the cyclical de-velopment of complex science-based...

This paper presents a data mining (DM) based approach to developing ensemble models for predicting next-day energy consumption and peak power demand, with the aim of improving the prediction accuracy. This approach mainly consists of three steps. Firstly, outlier detection, which merges feature...

This paper examines how plug-in electric vehicles can be managed to balance the fluctuation of renewable electricity sources. In this context, different control strategies are introduced. To investigate indirect control via electricity tariffs, an electricity market analysis is conducted of a...

Commercial passenger cars are often discussed as an early market segment for plug-in electric vehicles (EVs). Compared to private vehicles, the commercial vehicle segment is characterized by higher vehicle kilometers travelled and a higher share of vehicle sales in Germany. Studies which...

Die Chemieindustrie umfasst die Produktion von chemischen Stoffen und Arzneimitteln und stellt knapp 5 Prozent aller Betriebe im Verarbeitenden Gewerbe. Das Produktspektrum reicht dabei von Aspirin über Ethen bis hin zur Zahnpasta. Entsprechend vielfältig sind die Unternehmen der...

In order to be able to analyze future ecological as well as economic aspects of the climate protection potential through decarbonisation of German industries, the aluminium and steel industry must be investigated in detail. The construction and mechanical sectors are among the biggest consumers...

[Einleitung ...] Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, die Vor- und Nachteile des Patentsystems aus ökonomischer Sicht zu beschreiben und die Unterschiede des europäischen und amerikanischen Systems in Bezug auf Patentierung von CIE herauszuarbeiten. Hierbei wird vor allem auch auf die...
