Innovative Service-Based Business Concepts for the Machine Tool Building Industry
Organised by: Cranfield UniversityDuring the last decade, machine tool building companies have been forced to put innovative offers on the
market. Due to the technical features of their products and the prevailing organizational structures in this
sector, especially product-service systems are a promising way of creating a unique selling point. In this
paper, potential new business concepts for machine tool builders will be presented which aim at fulfilling
basic customer needs like the increase in quality, flexibility, productivity and the reduction of lead times,
costs and risks. For the implementation of these product-service systems, practical examples are given.Mori Seiki – The Machine Tool Compan

Germanene: a novel two-dimensional Germanium allotrope akin to Graphene and Silicene
Using a gold (111) surface as a substrate we have grown in situ by molecular
beam epitaxy an atom-thin, ordered, two-dimensional multi-phase film. Its
growth bears strong similarity with the formation of silicene layers on silver
(111) templates. One of the phases, forming large domains, as observed in
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy, shows a clear, nearly flat, honeycomb structure.
Thanks to thorough synchrotron radiation core-level spectroscopy measurements
and advanced Density Functional Theory calculations we can identify it to a
xR(30{\deg}) germanene layer in coincidence with a
xR(19.1{\deg}) Au(111) supercell, thence, presenting the
first compelling evidence of the birth of a novel synthetic germanium-based
cousin of graphene.Comment: 16 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Ag on Ge(111): 2D X-ray structure analysis of the (Wurzel)3 x (Wurzel)3 superstructure
We have studied the Ag/Ge(111)(Wurzel)3 x (Wurzel)3 superstructure by grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction. In our structural analysis we find striking similarities to the geometry of Au on Si(111). The Ag atoms form trimer clusters with an Ag-Ag distance of 2.94+-0.04°A with the centers of the trimers being located at the origins of the (Wurzel)3 x (Wurzel)3 lattice. The Ag layer is incomplete and at least one substrate layer is distorted

Student Apathy as Defined by Secondary Agricultural Education Students
Student motivation continues to be a source of concern for educators. This phenomenological study captured the voices of secondary agriculture students as they shared their perspectives and experiences surrounding student apathy. Four focus group interviews were conducted at four central California high schools with distinguished agriculture programs. The following question guided the research: What experience do secondary agriculture students have with student apathy in their academic environments? Findings suggest student apathy is born of personal choice and grown through mediocre teaching, archaic assessment and the absence of learning purpose. Recommendations suggest students, teachers, the local school and teacher educators form a unified front to combat the phenomenon through purposeful and consistent action
