Wie Sprache dem Verstehen hilft
International studies such as PISA, TIMSS, and PIRLS show significant correlations between language competencies and educational success. Moreover, didactic studies show that this correlation can also be assumed for subject-related knowledge and technical language. This suggests that technical language requirements must also be explicitly addressed in geography lessons to give all students …

Development and Characterization of a Dispersion-Encoded Method for Low-Coher…
This work discusses an extension to conventional low-coherence interferometry by the introduction of dispersion-encoding. The extension facilitates the measurement of surface height profiles with sub-nm resolution. The selection of a dispersive element for encoding allows for tuning of the axial measurement range and resolution of the setup. The approach is theoretically designed and imple…
