Hühner gehören seit Jahrtausenden zum Alltag des Menschen, gackernd und scharrend bevölkern sie Hinterhöfe und Hühnergehege. Dass diese Tiere alles andere als «dumme Hühner» sind, zeigt dieses Buch. Es nimmt Sie mit auf eine spannende Entdeckungsreis... Read More about Das Huhn: Geschichte, Biologie, Rassen.

Teacher fabrication as an impediment to professional learning and development: the external mentor antidote (2013)
Journal Article
Hobson, A. J., & McIntyre, J. (2013). Teacher fabrication as an impediment to professional learning and development: the external mentor antidote. Oxford Review of Education, 39(3), 345--365. https://doi.org/10.1080/03054985.2013.808618

This paper reports findings from a study of the work of 'external mentors' associated with three programmes of support for the professional learning and development (PLD) of secondary science teachers in England. Focusing on outcomes from analyses of... Read More about Teacher fabrication as an impediment to professional learning and development: the external mentor antidote.

Rain and Water Symbolism in Southern African Religious Systems: Continuity and Change (2013)
Journal Article
Müller, R., & Kruger, F. (2013). Rain and Water Symbolism in Southern African Religious Systems: Continuity and Change. Exchange, 42(2), 143-156. https://doi.org/10.1163/1572543x-12341261

This article presents a diachronic perspective on rain and water rituals in southern Africa. The authors claim that contemporary rituals can only be properly understood when cognisance has been taken of their deep roots into the past. The authors ind...

‘Kalos kagathos’ and Scholarly Perceptions of Spartan Society (2013)
Journal Article
Davies, P. (2013). ‘Kalos kagathos’ and Scholarly Perceptions of Spartan Society. Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte, 62(3), 259-279. https://doi.org/10.25162/historia-2013-0013

In the course of his exhaustive study regarding the development of the term kalos kagathos, Félix Bourriot has proposed a specifically Spartan usage of the term, with a narrow military meaning. Here, I critically examine his arguments for this Sparta... Read More about ‘Kalos kagathos’ and Scholarly Perceptions of Spartan Society.

An ant-based selection hyper-heuristic for dynamic environments (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kiraz, B., Etaner-Uyar, A. Ş., & Özcan, E. (2013, April). An ant-based selection hyper-heuristic for dynamic environments. Presented at 16th European Conference on Applications of Evolutionary Computing, Vienna, Austria

Dynamic environment problems require adaptive solution methodologies which can deal with the changes in the environment during the solution process for a given problem. A selection hyper-heuristic manages a set of low level heuristics (operators) and... Read More about An ant-based selection hyper-heuristic for dynamic environments.

The Rising ‘China Model’ of Educational Cooperation with Africa (2013)

Generalizations of Hedberg’s Theorem (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kraus, N., Escardó, M., Coquand, T., & Altenkirch, T. (2013, June). Generalizations of Hedberg’s Theorem. Presented at TLCA: International Conference on Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

As the groupoid interpretation by Hofmann and Streicher shows, uniqueness of identity proofs (UIP) is not provable. Generalizing a theorem by Hedberg, we give new characterizations of types that satisfy UIP. It turns out to be natural in this context... Read More about Generalizations of Hedberg’s Theorem.

An Analytical Approach to Single Node Delay-Coupled Reservoir Computing (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Schumacher, J., Toutounji, H., & Pipa, G. (2013, September). An Analytical Approach to Single Node Delay-Coupled Reservoir Computing. Presented at 23rd International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks (ICANN), Sofia, Bulgaria

Reservoir computing has been successfully applied in difficult time series prediction tasks by injecting an input signal into a spatially extended reservoir of nonlinear subunits to perform history-dependent nonlinear computation. Recently, the netwo... Read More about An Analytical Approach to Single Node Delay-Coupled Reservoir Computing.
