Conception et fabrication d'un support et conditionnement en vue d'une mise en réserve à long terme. : Le cas d'une armure équestre textile au Bernisches Historisches Museum

Barretta, Martin

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute Ecole Arc Conservation-Restauration, 2020.

This work addresses a quilted horse armor from Nigeria kept in the Bernisches Historisches Museum where it was being stored on a real size horse dummy. However, this storage wasn’t adapted as the dummy’s dimensions didn’t fit the armor which was distorting under its own weight. It was also exposed to both light and dust. In addition, this way of storing the object was taking a considerable...

The strength of weak leaders : an experiment on social influence and social learning in teams

Buechel, Berno ; Kloessner, Stefan ; Lochmueller, Martin ; Rauhut, Heiko

In: Experimental economics, 2019, p. 1-35

We investigate how the selection process of a leader affects team performance with respect to social learning. We use a laboratory experiment in which an incentivized guessing task is repeated in a star network with the leader at the center. Leader selection is either based on competence, on self-confidence, or made at random. In our setting, teams with random leaders do not underperform....

Not just fundamental research: education, equal opportunities, knowledge and technology transfer, and communication at the nccr bio-inspired materials

Capper, Scott ; Haskal, Eliav ; Kilbinger, Andreas ; Montero de Espinosa, Lucas ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara ; Rüegg, Curzio ; Weder, Christoph

In: CHIMIA International Journal for Chemistry, 2019, vol. 73, no. 1, p. 86–89

Besides conducting excellent fundamental research in domains of strategic importance, the National Centers of Competence in Research (NCCRs) also aim to become centers of reference for education, equal opportunities, and knowledge and technology transfer. These activities are supported by a communication strategy focused on specific target groups. This article describes some of the main...

Are animals a source of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia in human infections? Contributions of a nationwide molecular study

Jayol, Aurélie ; Corlouer, Camille ; Haenni, Marisa ; Darty, Mélanie ; Maillard, Karine ; Desroches, Marine ; Lamy, Brigitte ; Jumas-Bilak, Estelle ; Madec, Jean-Yves ; Decousser, Jean-Winoc

In: European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 2018, p. 1–7

Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (Sm) is an archetypal environmental opportunistic bacterium responsible for health care-associated infections. The role of animals in human Sm infections is unknown. This study aims to reveal the genetic and phylogenetic relationships between pathogenic strains of Sm, both animal and human, and identify a putative role for animals as a reservoir in human...

The strength of weak leaders - an experiment on social influence and social learning in teams

Buechel, Berno ; Klössner, Stefan ; Lochmüller, Martin ; Rauhut, Heiko

(Working Papers SES ; 486)

We investigate how the selection process of a leader affects team performance with respect to social learning. We use a lab experiment in which an incentivized guessing task is repeated in a star network with the leader at the center. Leader selection is either based on competence, on self-confidence, or made at random. Teams with random leaders do not underperform compared to rather competent...

Dynamic capabilities to match multiple product generations and market rhythm

Dacko, Scott G. ; Liu, Ben S ; Sudharshan, D. ; Furrer, Olivier

In: European Journal of Innovation, 2008, vol. 11, no. 4, p. 441-471

Purpose : The purpose of this paper is to provide greater insights to managers seeking to time properly the launches of innovative new products (NPs) across multiple generations. This paper aims to address the rhythm matching problem by developing a typology and a conceptual framework of the interaction between a firm’s technological readiness to launch NPs and a market’s receptivity in...
