  • In this investigation, synchrotron X-ray imaging was used to investigate the water distribution inside newly developed gas diffusion media in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. In-situ radiography was used to reveal the relationship between the structure of the microporous layer (MPL) and the water flow in a newly developed MPL equipped with randomly arranged holes. A strong influence of these holes on the overall water transport was found. This contribution provides a brief overview to some of our recent activities on this research field.

  • The state of Baden-Württemberg has one of the strongest regional economies in Germany and is known as one of the most innovative regions in both Germany and Europe. Clusters have played a central role in innovation strategies. The article analyzes the current cluster policy in Baden-Württemberg. The Baden-Württemberg cluster policy has systematically supported the development of clusters, cluster initiatives, and state-wide networks. It has also provided increasing support to regions in developing and implementing innovation and networking activities. The cluster policy has specifically focused on promoting collaborations across different industries and technologies, as well as implementing measures for internationalization. The goal of the Baden-Württemberg state cluster policy was to professionalize cluster management and improve its quality. The cluster policy in Baden-Württemberg has adopted a bottom-up approach and utilized various measures and instruments to promote dialogue. The cluster policy in Baden-Württemberg has established a dedicated cluster agency responsible for developing strategies and implementing individual measures.

  • We establish some new combinatorial identities involving Euler polynomials and balancing (Lucas-balancing) polynomials. The derivations use elementary techniques and are based on functional equations for the respective generating functions. From these polynomial relations, we deduce interesting identities with Fibonacci and Lucas numbers, and Euler numbers. The results must be regarded as companion results to some Fibonacci-Bernoulli identities, which we derived in our previous paper.
