The aim of this paper is to identify indicators at country level that could prove useful in improving the effectiveness of fraud detection in European Structural and Investment Funds. We analyse data for 454 funds, belonging to the period 2014-2020, from the 28 countries that were members of the European Union in 2014. Explanatory results suggest the convenience of tracking funds, especially in countries with higher GDP and higher transparency levels, and the lesser relevance of the number of irregularities for countries with higher GDP and those receiving larger funds. Fraud and fraud detection rates in individual funds vary significantly across states. Federal states, such as the Federal Republic of Germany, are comparatively successful in detecting fraud in EU funds.
An in-depth study of U-net for seismic data conditioning: Multiple removal by moveout discrimination
(2024)
Seismic processing often involves suppressing multiples that are an inherent component of collected seismic data. Elaborate multiple prediction and subtraction schemes such as surface-related multiple removal have become standard in industry workflows. In cases of limited spatial sampling, low signal-to-noise ratio, or conservative subtraction of the predicted multiples, the processed data frequently suffer from residual multiples. To tackle these artifacts in the postmigration domain, practitioners often rely on Radon transform-based algorithms. However, such traditional approaches are both time-consuming and parameter dependent, making them relatively complex. In this work, we present a deep learning-based alternative that provides competitive results, while reducing the complexity of its usage, and, hence simplifying its applicability. Our proposed model demonstrates excellent performance when applied to complex field data, despite it being exclusively trained on synthetic data. Furthermore, extensive experiments show that our method can preserve the inherent characteristics of the data, avoiding undesired oversmoothed results, while removing the multiples from seismic offset or angle gathers. Finally, we conduct an in-depth analysis of the model, where we pinpoint the effects of the main hyperparameters on real data inference, and we probabilistically assess its performance from a Bayesian perspective. In this study, we put particular emphasis on helping the user reveal the inner workings of the neural network and attempt to unbox the model.
A novel peptidyl-lys metalloendopeptidase (Tc-LysN) from Tramates coccinea was recombinantly expressed in Komagataella phaffii using the native pro-protein sequence. The peptidase was secreted into the culture broth as zymogen (~38 kDa) and mature enzyme (~19.8 kDa) simultaneously. The mature Tc-LysN was purified to homogeneity with a single step anion-exchange chromatography at pH 7.2. N-terminal sequencing using TMTpro Zero and mass spectrometry of the mature Tc-LysN indicated that the pro-peptide was cleaved between the amino acid positions 184 and 185 at the Kex2 cleavage site present in the native pro-protein sequence. The pH optimum of Tc-LysN was determined to be 5.0 while it maintained ≥60% activity between pH values 4.5—7.5 and ≥30% activity between pH values 8.5—10.0, indicating its broad applicability. The temperature maximum of Tc-LysN was determined to be 60 °C. After 18 h of incubation at 80 °C, Tc-LysN still retained ~20% activity. Organic solvents such as methanol and acetonitrile, at concentrations as high as 40% (v/v), were found to enhance Tc-LysN’s activity up to ~100% and ~50%, respectively. Tc-LysN’s thermostability, ability to withstand up to 8 M urea, tolerance to high concentrations of organic solvents, and an acidic pH optimum make it a viable candidate to be employed in proteomics workflows in which alkaline conditions might pose a challenge. The nano-LC-MS/MS analysis revealed bovine serum albumin (BSA)’s sequence coverage of 84% using Tc-LysN which was comparable to the sequence coverage of 90% by trypsin peptides.
Der Online-Handel verzeichnet seit Jahren ein stetiges Wachstum. Durch die COVID-19-Pandemie kaufen nun auch Nutzende, die zuvor physische Kanäle bevorzugten, vermehrt online ein. Der Anbietererfolg hängt dabei wesentlich von der Kenntnis über die Kund*innen ab. Allerdings dominieren einige große Anbieter den Markt, während kleinere Online-Shops Schwierigkeiten haben, ihre Angebote zu personalisieren. Eine Lösung bietet der Ansatz selbstbestimmter Identitäten. Dieser ermöglicht Kund*innen, ihre eigenen Shoppingdaten zu kontrollieren und sie selektiv mit Online-Shops zu teilen. Dadurch können individuelle Wünsche und Anforderungen der Kund*innen in Online-Shops berücksichtigt und ein personalisiertes Angebot sowie eine gute Nutzungserfahrung geboten werden. Trotz des großen Potenzials selbstbestimmter Identitäten ist der Ansatz in Deutschland kaum verbreitet. Dieser Beitrag beleuchtet den Einsatz selbstbestimmter Identitäten im Online-Handel. Mithilfe eines menschenzentrierten Gestaltungsprozesses wurden Personas und Ist-Szenarien erstellt, sowie daraus resultierend Anforderungen erhoben und Potenziale identifiziert. Auf Basis dessen konnte ein Daten- und Architekturmodell zur Integration von selbstbestimmten Identitäten im Online-Handel entwickelt werden.
Photovoltaic-heat pump (PV-HP) combinations with battery and energy management systems are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to increase the autarchy and utilization of self-generated PV electricity. This trend is driven by the ongoing electrification of the heating sector and the growing disparity between growing electricity costs and reducing feed-in tariffs in Germany. Smart control strategies can be employed to control and optimize the heat pump operation to achieve higher self-consumption of PV electricity. This work presents the evaluation results of a smart-grid ready controlled PV-HP-battery system in a single-family household in Germany, using 1-minute-high-resolution field measurement data. Within 12 months evaluation period, a self-consumption of 43% was determined. The solar fraction of the HP amounts to 36%, enabled also due to higher set temperatures for space heating and domestic hot water production. Accordingly, the SPF decreases by 4.0% the space heating and by 5.7% in the domestic hot water mode. The combined seasonal performance factor for the heat pump system increases from 4.2 to 6.7, when only considering the electricity taken from the grid and disregarding the locally generated electricity supplied from photovoltaic and battery units.

In the beginning, there was an idea: the reconstruction of the first "Iron Hand" of the Franconian imperial knight Götz von Berlichingen (1480–1562). We found that with this historical prosthesis, simple actions for daily use, such as holding a wine glass, a mobile phone, a bicycle handlebar grip, a horse’s reins, or some grapes, are possible without effort. Controlling this passive artificial hand, however, is based on the help of a healthy second hand.

Background: Assistive Robotic Arms are designed to assist physically disabled people with daily activities. Existing joysticks and head controls are not applicable for severely disabled people such as people with Locked-in Syndrome. Therefore, eye tracking control is part of ongoing research. The related literature spans many disciplines, creating a heterogeneous field that makes it difficult to gain an overview.
Objectives: This work focuses on ARAs that are controlled by gaze and eye movements. By answering the research questions, this paper provides details on the design of the systems, a comparison of input modalities, methods for measuring the performance of these controls, and an outlook on research areas that gained interest in recent years.
Methods: This review was conducted as outlined in the PRISMA 2020 Statement. After identifying a wide range of approaches in use the authors decided to use the PRISMA-ScR extension for a scoping review to present the results. The identification process was carried out by screening three databases. After the screening process, a snowball search was conducted.
Results: 39 articles and 6 reviews were included in this article. Characteristics related to the system and study design were extracted and presented divided into three groups based on the use of eye tracking.
Conclusion: This paper aims to provide an overview for researchers new to the field by offering insight into eye tracking based robot controllers. We have identified open questions that need to be answered in order to provide people with severe motor function loss with systems that are highly useable and accessible.
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of approaches to the determination of isocontours and isosurfaces from given data sets. Different algorithms are reported in the literature for this purpose, which originate from various application areas, such as computer graphics or medical imaging procedures. In all these applications, the challenge is to extract surfaces with a specific isovalue from a given characteristic, so called isosurfaces. These different application areas have given rise to solution approaches that all solve the problem of isocontouring in their own way. Based on the literature, the following four dominant methods can be identified: the marching cubes algorithms, the tessellation-based algorithms, the surface nets algorithms and the ray tracing algorithms. With regard to their application, it can be seen that the methods are mainly used in the fields of medical imaging, computer graphics and the visualization of simulation results. In our work, we provide a broad and compact overview of the common methods that are currently used in terms of isocontouring with respect to certain criteria and their individual limitations. In this context, we discuss the individual methods and identify possible future research directions in the field of isocontouring.
Garbage in, Garbage out: How does ambiguity in data affect state-of-the-art pedestrian detection?
(2024)
This thesis investigates the critical role of data quality in computer vision, particularly in the realm of pedestrian detection. The proliferation of deep learning methods has emphasised the importance of large datasets for model training, while the quality of these datasets is equally crucial. Ambiguity in annotations, arising from factors like mislabelling, inaccurate bounding box geometry and annotator disagreements, poses significant challenges to the reliability and robustness of the pedestrian detection models and their evaluation. This work aims to explore the effects of ambiguous data on model performance with a focus on identifying and separating ambiguous instances, employing an ambiguity measure utilizing annotator estimations of object visibility and identity. Through accurate experimentation and analysis, trade-offs between data cleanliness and representativeness, noise removal and retention of valuable data emerged, elucidating their impact on performance metrics like the log average miss-rate, recall and precision. Furthermore, a strong correlation between ambiguity and occlusion was discovered with higher ambiguity corresponding to greater occlusion prevalence. The EuroCity Persons dataset served as the primary dataset, revealing a significant proportion of ambiguous instances with approximately 8.6% ambiguity in the training dataset and 7.3% in the validation set. Results demonstrated that removing ambiguous data improves the log average miss-rate, particularly by reducing the false positive detections. Augmentation of the training data with samples from neighbouring classes enhanced the recall but diminished precision. Error correction of wrong false positives and false negatives significantly impacts model evaluation results, as evidenced by shifts in the ECP leaderboard rankings. By systematically addressing ambiguity, this thesis lays the foundation for enhancing the reliability of computer vision systems in real-world applications, motivating the prioritisation of developing robust strategies to identify, quantify and address ambiguity.
Batteries typically consist of multiple individual cells connected in series. Here we demonstrate single-cell state of charge (SOC) and state of health (SOH) diagnosis in a 24 V class lithium-ion battery. To this goal, we introduce and apply a novel, highly efficient algorithm based on a voltage-controlled model (VCM). The battery, consisting of eight single cells, is cycled over a duration of five months under a simple cycling protocol between 20 % and 100 % SOC. The cell-to-cell standard deviations obtained with the novel algorithm were 1.25 SOC-% and 1.07 SOH-% at beginning of cycling. A cell-averaged capacity loss of 9.9 % after five months cycling was observed. While the accuracy of single-cell SOC estimation was limited (probably owed to the flat voltage characteristics of the lithium iron phosphate, LFP, chemistry investigated here), single-cell SOH estimation showed a high accuracy (2.09 SOH-% mean absolute error compared to laboratory reference tests). Because the algorithm does not require observers, filters, or neural networks, it is computationally very efficient (three seconds analysis time for the complete data set consisting of eight cells with approx. 780.000 measurement points per cell).
In a randomized controlled cross-over study ten male runners (26.7 ± 4.9 years; recent 5-km time: 18:37 ± 1:07 min:s) performed an incremental treadmill test (ITT) and a 3-km time trial (3-km TT) on a treadmill while wearing either carbon fiber insoles with downwards curvature or insoles made of butyl rubber (control condition) in light road racing shoes (Saucony Fastwitch 9). Oxygen uptake, respiratory exchange ratio, heart rate, blood lactate concentration, stride frequency, stride length and time to exhaustion were assessed during ITT. After ITT, all runners rated their perceived exertion, perceived shoe comfort and perceived shoe performance. Running time, heart rate, blood lactate levels, stride frequency and stride length were recorded during, and shoe comfort and shoe performance after, the 3-km TT. All parameters obtained during or after the ITT did not differ between the two conditions [range: p = 0.188 to 0.948 (alpha value: 0.05); Cohen's d = 0.021 to 0.479] despite the rating of shoe comfort showing better scores for the control insoles (p = 0.001; d = −1.646). All parameters during and after the 3-km TT showed no differences (p = 0.200 to 1.000; d = 0.000 to 0.501) between both conditions except for shoe comfort showing better scores for control insoles (p = 0.017; d = −0.919). Running with carbon fiber insoles with downwards curvature did not change running performance or any submaximal or maximal physiological or biomechanical parameter and perceived exertion compared to control condition. Shoe comfort is impaired while running with carbon fiber insoles. Wearing carbon fiber insoles with downwards curvature during treadmill running is not beneficial when compared to running with control insoles.
Online grocery shopping (OGS) has significantly risen due to accelerated retail digitization and reshaped consumer shopping behaviors over the last years. Despite this trend, the German online grocery market lags behind its international counterparts. Notably, with almost half of the German population aged over 50 and the 55–64 age group emerging as the largest user segment in e-commerce, the over-50 demographic presents an attractive yet relatively overlooked audience for the expansion of the online grocery market. However, research on OGS behavior among German over-50s is scarce. This study addresses this gap, empirically investigating OGS adoption factors within this demographic through an online survey with 179 respondents. Our findings reveal that over a third of the over-50 demographic has embraced OGS, indicating a growing receptivity for OGS among the over-50s. Notably, home delivery, product variety, convenience, and curiosity emerged as primary drivers for OGS adoption among this demographic. Surprisingly, most adopters did not increase online grocery orders since 2020 and a not inconsiderable proportion have even stopped buying groceries online again. For potential OGS adopters, regional product availability turned out as a motivator, signaling substantial growth potential and providing online grocers with strategic opportunities to target this demographic. In light of our research, we offer practical suggestions to online grocery retailers, aiming to overcome barriers and capitalize on key drivers identified in our study for sustained growth in the over-50 market segment.
For the treatment of bone defects, biodegradable, compressive biomaterials are needed as replacements that degrade as the bone regenerates. The problem with existing materials has either been their insufficient mechanical strength or the excessive differences in their elastic modulus, leading to stress shielding and eventual failure. In this study, the compressive strength of CPC ceramics (with a layer thickness of more than 12 layers) was compared with sintered β-TCP ceramics. It was assumed that as the number of layers increased, the mechanical strength of 3D-printed scaffolds would increase toward the value of sintered ceramics. In addition, the influence of the needle inner diameter on the mechanical strength was investigated. Circular scaffolds with 20, 25, 30, and 45 layers were 3D printed using a 3D bioplotter, solidified in a water-saturated atmosphere for 3 days, and then tested for compressive strength together with a β-TCP sintered ceramic using a Zwick universal testing machine. The 3D-printed scaffolds had a compressive strength of 41.56 ± 7.12 MPa, which was significantly higher than that of the sintered ceramic (24.16 ± 4.44 MPa). The 3D-printed scaffolds with round geometry reached or exceeded the upper limit of the compressive strength of cancellous bone toward substantia compacta. In addition, CPC scaffolds exhibited more bone-like compressibility than the comparable β-TCP sintered ceramic, demonstrating that the mechanical properties of CPC scaffolds are more similar to bone than sintered β-TCP ceramics.
Recently, photovoltaic (PV) with energy storage systems (ESS) have been widely adopted in buildings to overcome growing power demands and earn financial benefits. The overall energy cost can be optimized by combining a well-sized hybrid PV/ESS system with an efficient energy management system (EMS). Generally, EMS is implemented within the overall functions of the Building Automation System (BAS). However, due to its limited computing resources, BAS cannot handle complex algorithms that aim to optimize energy use in real-time under different operating conditions. Furthermore, islanding the building's local network to maximize the PV energy share represents a challenging task due to the potential technical risks. In this context, this article addresses an improved approach based on upgrading the BAS data analytics capability by means of an edge computing technology. The edge communicates with the BAS low-level controller using a serial communication protocol. Taking advantage of the high computing ability of the edge device, an optimization-based EMS of the PV/ESS hybrid system is implemented. Different testing scenarios have been carried out on a real prototype with different weather conditions, and the results show the implementation feasibility and technical performance of such advanced EMS for the management of building energy resources. It has also been proven to be feasible and advantageous to operate the local energy network in island mode while ensuring system safety. Additionally, an estimated energy saving improvement of 6.23 % has been achieved using optimization-based EMS compared to the classical rule-based EMS, with better ESS constraints fulfillment.

Im Rahmen dieser Studie sollen Struktur und der Ablauf internationaler Carve-Out-Transaktionen dargestellt werden. Der Fokus liegt hierbei auf den rechtlichen Aspekten solcher Transaktionen. Nichtsdestotrotz, da internationale Carve-Out-Transaktionen gerade eine sehr enge und komplexe Verflechtung rechtlicher, organisatorischer und strategischer Aspekte ausmacht, soll die internationale Carve-Out-Transaktion als Ganzes beleuchtet werden.
Authentic corporate social responsibility: antecedents and effects on consumer purchase intention
(2023)
Purpose
The aim of the research is to identify the factors that create an authentic company's corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement and to investigate whether an authentic CSR engagement influences the purchase intention. In addition, the study attempts to provide insights into the mediation role of attitude toward the company and frequency of purchase on purchase intention.
Design/methodology/approach
In this study, a theoretical framework is developed in which major antecedents of authentic CSR are identified. A specific example of a brand and its corporate social responsibility activities was used for the study. An online questionnaire was used to collect the data. To verify the hypothesis, structural equation modeling with the partial least squares method was used. A total of 240 people participated in the study.
Findings
The results of the study confirmed that CSR authenticity positively influences consumer purchase intention. Furthermore, the hypothesized impact of CSR authenticity on attitudes toward the company and frequency of purchase could be verified.
Originality/value
Although there is research on the antecedents influencing the consumer's perceived authenticity of CSR, it has not addressed differences in impact and has not presented a full picture of influencing antecedents. In addition, CSR proof as a new antecedent is investigated in the study. Moreover, research on outcomes of perceived CSR authenticity still lacks depth. The study therefore addresses this research gap by providing an extensive research framework including antecedents influencing CSR authenticity and outcomes of CSR authenticity.
Die Visualisierung von Programmabläufen ist ein zentraler Aspekt für Programmieranfänger, um das Verständnis von Codeabläufen zu erleichtern und den Einstieg in der Softwareentwicklung zu unterstützen. In dieser Masterthesis wird ein speziell auf die Bedürfnisse von Einsteigern zugeschnittenes generisches Framework vorgestellt, wobei der Fokus auf einer einfachen, verständlichen aber auch korrekten Darstellung der Programmausführung liegt. Das Framework integriert das Debugger Adapter Protocol, um den Debugger unterschiedlicher Sprachen ansprechen und verwenden zu können.
In dieser Arbeit werden zunächst die Anforderungen für das generische Framework diskutiert. Anschließend werden bestehende Ansätze zur Visualisierung von Programmabläufen ausführlich untersucht und analysiert. Die Implementierung des Frameworks wird daraufhin detailliert beschrieben, wobei besonderer Wert auf die Erweiterbarkeit unterschiedlicher Sprachen gelegt wird.
Um die Eignung des Frameworks zu evaluieren, werden mehrere Aufgaben aus dem ersten Modul mit der jeweiligen Programmiersprache des Studiengangs Angewandte Informatik der Hochschule Offenburg betrachtet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Framework mit den Aufgaben umgehen und diese korrekt und verständlich darstellen kann.
Decentralized applications (dApp) have proliferated in recent years, but their long-term viability is a topic of debate. However, for dApps to be sustainable, and suitable for integration into a larger service networks, they need to attract users and promise reliable availability. Therefore, assessing their longevity is crucial. Analyzing the utilization trajectory of a service is, however, challenging due to several factors, such as demand spikes, noise, autocorrelation, and non-stationarity. In this study, we employ robust statistical techniques to identify trends in currently popular dApps. Our findings demonstrate that a significant proportion of dApps, across a range of categories, exhibit statistically significant positive overall trends, indicating that success in decentralized computing can be sustainable and transcends specific fields. However, there is also a substantial number of dApps showing negative trends, with a disproportionately high number from the decentralized finance (DeFi) category. Furthermore, a more detailed inspection of time series segments shows a clearly diminishing proportion of positive trends from mid-2021 to the present. In summary, we conclude that the dApp economy might have lost some momentum, and that there is a strong element of uncertainty regarding its future significance.
In the framework of electro-elasticity theory and the finite element method (FEM), a model is set up for the computation of quantities in surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices accounting for nonlinear effects. These include second-order and third-order intermodulations, second and third harmonic generation and the influence of electro-acoustic nonlinearity on the frequency characteristics of SAW resonators. The model is based on perturbation theory, and requires input material constants, e.g., the elastic moduli up to fourth order for all materials involved. The model is two-dimensional, corresponding to an infinite aperture, but all three Cartesian components of the displacement and electrical fields are accounted for. The first version of the model pertains to an infinite periodic arrangement of electrodes. It is subsequently generalized to systems with a finite number of electrodes. For the latter version, a recursive algorithm is presented which is related to the cascading scheme of Plessky and Koskela and strongly reduces computation time and memory requirements. The model is applied to TC-SAW systems with copper electrodes buried in an oxide film on a LiNbO3 substrate. Results of computations are presented for the electrical current due to third-order intermodulations and the displacement field associated with the second harmonic and second-order intermodulations, generated by monochromatic input tones. The scope of this review is limited to methodological aspects with the goal to enable calculations of nonlinear quantities in SAW devices on inexpensive and easily accessible computing platforms.

Scheinselbständigkeit
(2023)
Im Rahmen dieser Untersuchung sollen Maßnahmen zur Reduzierung des Risikos von Scheinselbständigkeit für Unternehmen identifiziert und analysiert werden.

Go ist eine 2009 veröffentlichte Programmiersprache mit einem statischen Typsystem. Seit Version 1.18 sind auch Generics ein Teil der Sprache. Deren Übersetzung wurde im de facto Standard-Compiler mittels Monomorphisierung umgesetzt. Diese bringt neben einigen Vorteilen auch Nachteile mit sich. Aus diesem Grund beschäftigt sich diese Arbeit mit einer alternativen Übersetzungsstrategie für Generics in Go und implementiert diese in einem neuen Compiler für Featherweight Generic Go, einem Subset von Go. Zum Schluss steht damit ein nahezu funktionierender Compiler, welcher schließlich Racket-Code ausgibt. Eine Evaluierung der Performanz der Übersetzungsstrategie ist allerdings noch ausstehend.

Enzyme‐assisted HPTLC method for the simultaneous analysis of inositol phosphates and phosphate
(2023)
Background
The analysis of myo‐inositol phosphates (InsPx) released by phytases during phytic acid degradation is challenging and time‐consuming, particularly in terms of sample preparation, isomer separation, and detection. However, a fast and robust analysis method is crucial when screening for phytases during protein engineering approaches, which result in a large number of samples, to ensure reliable identification of promising novel enzymes or target variants with improved characteristics, for example, pH range, thermal stability, and phosphate release kinetics.
Results
The simultaneous analysis of several InsPx (InsP1‐InsP4 and InsP5 + 6) as well as free phosphate was established on cellulose HPTLC plates using a buffered mobile phase. Inositol phosphates were subsequently stained using a novel enzyme‐assisted staining procedure. Immobilized InsPx were hydrolyzed by a phytase solution of Quantum® Blueliquid 5G followed by a molybdate reagent derivatization. Resulting blue zones were captured by DAD scan. The method shows good repeatability (intra‐day and intra‐lab) with maximum deviations of the Rf value of 0.01. The HPTLC method was applied to three commercially available phytases at two pH levels relevant to the gastrointestinal tract of poultry (pH 5.5 and pH 3.6) to observe their phytate degradation pattern and thus visualize their InsPx fingerprint.
Conclusion
This HPTLC method presents a semi‐high‐throughput analysis for the simultaneous analysis of phytic acid and the resulting lower inositol phosphates after its enzymatic hydrolysis and is also an effective tool to visualize the InsPx fingerprints and possible accumulations of inositol phosphates.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a key tool to have a complete understanding of the costs associated with an investment, as it allows to analyze not only the initial acquisition costs, but also the long-term costs related to operation, maintenance, depreciation, and other factors. In the context of the cement industry, TCO is especially important due to the complexity of the production processes and the wide variety of components and machinery involved in the process.
For this reason, a TCO analysis for the cement industry has been conducted in this study, with the objective of showing the different components of the cost of production. This analysis will allow the reader to gain knowledge about these costs, in the industrial model will be to make informed decisions on the adoption of technologies and practices that will allow them to reduce costs in the long run and improve their operational efficiency.
In particular, this study pursues to give visibility to technologies and practices that enable the reduction of carbon emissions in cement production, thus contributing to the sustainability of industry and the protection of the environment. By being at the forefront of sustainability issues, the cement industry can contribute to the achievement of environmentally friendly technologies and enable the development of people and industry.
The Oxyfuel technology has been selected as a carbon capture solution for the cement industry due to its practical application, low costs, and practical adaptation to non-capture processes. The adoption of this technology allows for a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, which is a crucial factor in achieving sustainability in the cement manufacturing process.
Carbon capture storage technologies represent a high investment, although these technologies increase the cost of production, the application of Oxyfuel technology is one of the most economically viable as the cheapest technology per capture according to the comparison. However, this price increase is a technical advantage as the carbon capture efficiency of this technology reaches 90%. This level of efficiency leads to a decrease in taxes for the generation of CO2 emissions, making the cement manufacturing process sustainable.
Building energy management systems (BEMSs), dedicated to sustainable buildings, may have additional duties, such as hosting efficient energy management systems (EMSs) algorithms. This duty can become crucial when operating renewable energy sources (RES) and eventual electric energy storage systems (ESSs). Sophisticated EMS approaches that aim to manage RES and ESSs in real time may need high computing capabilities that BEMSs typically cannot provide. This article addresses and validates a fuzzy logic-based EMS for the optimal management of photovoltaic (PV) systems with lead-acid ESSs using an edge computing technology. The proposed method is tested on a real smart grid prototype in comparison with a classical rule-based EMS for different weather conditions. The goal is to investigate the efficacy of islanding the building local network as a control command, along with ESS power control. The results show the implementation feasibility and performance of the fuzzy algorithm in the optimal management of ESSs in both operation modes: grid-connected and islanded modes.
In den letzten Jahren entstand ein regelrechter Hype um das Thema Kryptowährungen und sie sind in Gesellschaft, Politik und Wirtschaft kaum noch wegzudenken. Trotz der hohen Volatilität und des Risikos für Investoren werden Kryptowährungen teilweise auch als eine Alternative für herkömmliche Währungen angesehen. Daher stellt sich die Frage, ob die Einstellung zu Kryptowährungen und auch das Investitionsverhalten auf einer sorgfältigen Auseinandersetzung von Argumenten basiert. Dafür wurde die Forschungsfrage: „Basieren Kaufverhalten und Einstellung zu Kryptowährungen eher auf der intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit tatsächlichen Argumenten oder auf oberflächlichen Reizen?“ aufgestellt. Zur Untersuchung dieser wurde eine Umfrage mit 283 Teilnehmenden durchgeführt. Auf Basis theoretischer Überlegungen zur Einstellungsforschung durch das Elaboration-Likelihood-Model wurde ein Fragebogen entworfen, der den Einfluss der Elaboration auf die Einstellung und das Kaufverhalten empirisch messbar machen sollte. Durch eine Kausalanalyse mittels Strukturgleichungsmodell konnte ein teilweise signifikanter Einfluss von elaborationsbestimmenden Größen auf Einstellung und Kaufverhalten festgestellt werden. Eine Überprüfung der Gütekriterien des Fragebogens mittels explorativer und konfirmatorischer Faktoranalyse ergab in Hinsicht auf Reliabilität und Validität jedoch keine zufriedenstellenden Ergebnisse. Die Ergebnisse des Kausalmodells sollten deswegen mit Vorsicht betrachtet werden. In weiterführenden Forschungen könnte die Struktur der durch den Fragebogen erhobenen Konstrukte für Elaboration und Einstellung überarbeitet werden, um eine bessere Reliabilität und Validität zu erreichen und somit genauere Aussagen über die eigentlichen Beziehungen der Konstrukte treffen zu können.
In this paper, the performance of different continuous-time and discrete-time models of the electrical subsystem of induction machines and permanent-magnet synchronous machines as well as methods based on them for decoupling the direct and
quadrature axis components of the stator current are investigated and compared. The focus here is on inverter-fed, pulse width modulated drives when operated with a relatively large product of stator frequency and sampling time, where significant
differences between the models and decoupling methods used come to light. Recommendations for a discrete-time model to be used uniformly in the future are made, as well as statements on whether feedforward or feedback decoupling structures are better suited and whether state controllers improve decoupling measures for very steep speed ramps. Simulation studies and measurement results support the statements made above.
Purpose
To summarize the mechanical loading of the spine in different activities of daily living and sports.
Methods
Since the direct measurement is not feasible in sports activities, a mathematical model was applied to quantify spinal loading of more than 600 physical tasks in more than 200 athletes from several sports disciplines. The outcome is compression and torque (normalized to body weight/mass) at L4/L5.
Results
The data demonstrate high compressive forces on the lumbar spine in sport-related activities, which are much higher than forces reported in normal daily activities and work tasks. Especially ballistic jumping and landing skills yield high estimated compression at L4/L5 of more than ten times body weight. Jumping, landing, heavy lifting and weight training in sports demonstrate compression forces significantly higher than guideline recommendations for working tasks.
Conclusion
These results may help to identify acute and long-term risks of low back pain and, thus, may guide the development of preventive interventions for low back pain or injury in athletes.
Appraising the Methodological Quality of Sports Injury Video Analysis Studies: The QA-SIVAS Scale
(2023)
Background
Video analysis (VA) is commonly used in the assessment of sports injuries and has received considerable research interest. Until now, no tool has been available for the assessment of study quality. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a valid instrument that reliably assesses the methodological quality of VA studies.
Methods
The Quality Appraisal for Sports Injury Video Analysis Studies (QA-SIVAS) scale was developed using a modified Delphi approach including expert consensus and pilot testing. Reliability was examined through intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC3,1) and free-marginal kappa statistics by three independent raters. Construct validity was investigated by comparing QA-SIVAS with expert ratings by using Kendall’s tau analysis. Rating time was studied by applying the scale to 21 studies and computing the mean time for rating per study article.
Results
The QA-SIVAS scale consists of an 18-item checklist addressing the study design, data source, conduct, report, and discussion of VA studies in sports injury research. Inter- and intra-rater reliability were excellent with ICCs > 0.97. Expert ratings revealed a high construct validity (0.71; p < 0.001). Mean rating time was 10 ± 2 min per article.
Conclusion
QA-SIVAS is a reliable and valid instrument that can be easily applied to sports injury research. Future studies in the field of VA should adhere to standardized methodological criteria and strict quality guidelines.
Novel approaches for the design of assistive technology controls propose the usage of eye tracking devices such as for smart wheelchairs and robotic arms. The advantages of artificial feedback, especially vibrotactile feedback, as opposed to their use in prostheses, have not been sufficiently explored. Vibrotactile feedback reduces the cognitive load on the visual and auditory channel. It provides tactile sensation, resulting in better use of assistive technologies. In this study the impact of vibration on the precision and accuracy of a head-worn eye tracking device is investigated. The presented system is suitable for further research in the field of artificial feedback. Vibration was perceivable for all participants, yet it does not produce any significant deviations in precision and accuracy.
Established robot manufacturers have developed methods to determine and optimize the accuracy of their robots. These methods vary from robot manufacturers to their competitors. Due to the lack of published data, a comparison of robot performance is difficult. The aim of this article is to find methods to evaluate important characteristics of a robot with an accurate and cost-effective setup. A laser triangulation sensor and geometric referenced spheres were used as a base to compare the robot performance.

Purpose
To (1) identify neuromuscular and biomechanical injury risk factors in elite youth soccer players and (2) assess the predictive ability of a machine learning approach.
Material and Methods
Fifty-six elite male youth soccer players (age: 17.2 ± 1.1 years; height: 179 ± 8 cm; mass: 70.4 ± 9.2 kg) performed a 3D motion analysis, postural control testing, and strength testing. Non-contact lower extremities injuries were documented throughout 10 months. A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was used to identify the most important injury predictors. Predictive performance of the LASSO model was determined in a leave-one-out (LOO) prediction competition.
Results
Twenty-three non-contact injuries were registered. The LASSO model identified concentric knee extensor peak torque, hip transversal plane moment in the single-leg drop landing task and center of pressure sway in the single-leg stance test as the three most important predictors for injury in that order. The LASSO model was able to predict injury outcomes with a likelihood of 58% and an area under the ROC curve of 0.63 (sensitivity = 35%; specificity = 79%).
Conclusion
The three most important variables for predicting the injury outcome suggest the importance of neuromuscular and biomechanical performance measures in elite youth soccer. These preliminary results may have practical implications for future directions in injury risk screening and planning, as well as for the development of customized training programs to counteract intrinsic injury risk factors. However, the poor predictive performance of the final model confirms the challenge of predicting sports injuries, and the model must therefore be evaluated in larger samples.
Gamification is increasingly successful in the field of education and health. However, beyond call-centers and applications in human resources, its utilization within companies remains limited. In this paper, we examine the acceptance of gamification in a large company (with over 17,000 employees) across three generations, namely X, Y, and Z. Furthermore, we investigate which gamification elements are suited for business contexts, such as the dissemination of company principles and facts, or the organization of work tasks. To this end, we conducted focus group discussions, developed the prototype of a gamified company app, and performed a large-scale evaluation with 367 company employees. The results reveal statistically significant intergenerational disparities in the acceptance of gamification: younger employees, especially those belonging to Generation Z, enjoy gamification more than older employees and are most likely to engage with a gamified app in the workplace. The results further show a nuanced range of preferences regarding gamification elements: avatars are popular among all generations, badges are predominantly appreciated by Generations Z and Y, while leaderboards are solely liked by Generation Z. Drawing upon these insights, we provide recommendations for future gamification projects within business contexts. We hope that the results of our study regarding the preferences of the gamification elements and understanding generational differences in acceptance and usage of gamification will help to create more engaging and effective apps, especially within the corporate landscape.
Immunosorbent turnip vein clearing virus (TVCV) particles displaying the IgG-binding domains D and E of Staphylococcus aureus protein A (PA) on every coat protein (CP) subunit (TVCVPA) were purified from plants via optimized and new protocols. The latter used polyethylene glycol (PEG) raw precipitates, from which virions were selectively re-solubilized in reverse PEG concentration gradients. This procedure improved the integrity of both TVCVPA and the wild-type subgroup 3 tobamovirus. TVCVPA could be loaded with more than 500 IgGs per virion, which mediated the immunocapture of fluorescent dyes, GFP, and active enzymes. Bi-enzyme ensembles of cooperating glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase were tethered together on the TVCVPA carriers via a single antibody type, with one enzyme conjugated chemically to its Fc region, and the other one bound as a target, yielding synthetic multi-enzyme complexes. In microtiter plates, the TVCVPA-displayed sugar-sensing system possessed a considerably increased reusability upon repeated testing, compared to the IgG-bound enzyme pair in the absence of the virus. A high coverage of the viral adapters was also achieved on Ta2O5 sensor chip surfaces coated with a polyelectrolyte interlayer, as a prerequisite for durable TVCVPA-assisted electrochemical biosensing via modularly IgG-assembled sensor enzymes.
Featherweight Generic Go (FGG) is a minimal core calculus modeling the essential features of the programming language Go. It includes support for overloaded methods, interface types, structural subtyping, and generics. The most straightforward semantic description of the dynamic behavior of FGG programs is to resolve method calls based on runtime type information of the receiver. This article shows a different approach by defining a type-directed translation from FGG− to an untyped lambda-calculus. FGG− includes all features of FGG but type assertions. The translation of an FGG− program provides evidence for the availability of methods as additional dictionary parameters, similar to the dictionary-passing approach known from Haskell type classes. Then, method calls can be resolved by a simple lookup of the method definition in the dictionary. Every program in the image of the translation has the same dynamic semantics as its source FGG− program. The proof of this result is based on a syntactic, step-indexed logical relation. The step index ensures a well-founded definition of the relation in the presence of recursive interface types and recursive methods. Although being non-deterministic, the translation is coherent.
Maintaining stability while walking on arbitrary surfaces or dealing with external perturbations is of great interest in humanoid robotics research. Increasing the system’s autonomous robustness to a variety of postural threats during locomotion is the key despite the need to evaluate noisy sensor signals. The equations of motion are the foundation of all published approaches. In contrast, we propose a more adequate evaluation of the equations of motion with respect to an arbitrary moving reference point in a non-inertial reference frame. Conceptual advantages are, e.g., getting independent of global position and velocity vectors estimated by sensor fusions or calculating the imaginary zero-moment point walking on different inclined ground surfaces. Further, we improve the calculation results by reducing noise-amplifying methods in our algorithm and using specific characteristics of physical robots. We use simulation results to compare our algorithm with established approaches and test it with experimental robot data.
In 4D printing, an additively manufactured component is given the ability to change its shape or function in an intended and useful manner over time. The technology of 4D printing is still in an early stage of development. Nevertheless, interesting research and initial applications exist in the literature. In this work, a novel methodical approach is presented that helps transfer existing 4D printing research results and knowledge into solving application tasks systematically. Moreover, two different smart materials are analyzed, used, and combined following the presented methodical approach to solving the given task in the form of recovering an object from a poorly accessible space. This is implemented by self-positioning, grabbing, and extracting the target object. The first smart material used to realize these tasks is a shape-memory polymer, while the second is a polymer-based magnetic composite. In addition to the presentation and detailed implementation of the methodical approach, the potentials and behavior of the two smart materials are further examined and narrowed down as a result of the investigation. The results show that the developed methodical approach contributes to moving 4D printing closer toward a viable alternative to existing technologies due to its problem-oriented nature.
Over the last few decades, several grid coupling techniques for hierarchically refined Cartesian grids have been developed to provide the possibility of varying mesh resolution in lattice Boltzmann methods. The proposed schemes can be roughly categorized based on the individual grid transition interface layout they are adapted to, namely cell-vertex or cell-centered approaches, as well as a combination of both. It stands to reason that the specific properties of each of these grid-coupling algorithms influence the stability and accuracy of the numerical scheme. Consequently, this naturally leads to a curiosity regarding the extent to which this is the case. The present study compares three established grid-coupling techniques regarding their stability ranges by conducting a series of numerical experiments for a square duct flow, including various collision models. Furthermore the hybrid-recursive regularized collision model, originally introduced for cell-vertex algorithms with co-located coarse and fine grid nodes, has been adapted to cell-centered and combined methods.
The increasingly stringent CO2 emissions standards require innovative solutions in the vehicle development process. One possibility to reduce CO2 emissions is the electrification of powertrains. The resulting increased complexity, as well as the increased competition and time pressure make the use of simulation software and test benches indispensable in the early development phases. This publication therefore presents a methodology for test bench coupling to enable early testing of electrified powertrains. For this purpose, an internal combustion engine test bench and an electric motor test bench are virtually interconnected. By applying and extending the Distributed Co-Simulation Protocol Standard for the presented hybrid electric powertrain use case, real-time-capable communication between the two test benches is achieved. Insights into the test bench setups, and the communication between the test benches and the protocol extension, especially with regard to temperature measurements, enable the extension to be applied to other powertrain or test bench configurations. The shown results from coupled test bench operations emphasize the applicability. The discussed experiences from the test bench coupling experiments complete the insights.
In 2015, Google engineer Alexander Mordvintsev presented DeepDream as technique to visualise the feature analysis capabilities of deep neural networks that have been trained on image classification tasks. For a brief moment, this technique enjoyed some popularity among scientists, artists, and the general public because of its capability to create seemingly hallucinatory synthetic images. But soon after, research moved on to generative models capable of producing more diverse and more realistic synthetic images. At the same time, the means of interaction with these models have shifted away from a direct manipulation of algorithmic properties towards a predominance of high level controls that obscure the model's internal working. In this paper, we present research that returns to DeepDream to assess its suit-ability as method for sound synthesis. We consider this research to be necessary for two reasons: it tackles a perceived lack of research on musical applications of DeepDream, and it addresses DeepDream's potential to combine data driven and algorithmic approaches. Our research includes a study of how the model architecture, choice of audio data-sets, and method of audio processing influence the acoustic characteristics of the synthesised sounds. We also look into the potential application of DeepDream in a live-performance setting. For this reason, the study limits itself to models consisting of small neural networks that process time-domain representations of audio. These models are resource-friendly enough to operate in real time. We hope that the results obtained so far highlight the attractiveness of Deep-Dream for musical approaches that combine algorithmic investigation with curiosity driven and open ended exploration.

In der Geschichte »Die Schule« (Originaltitel: ,,The fun they had“) von 1954 beschreibt der russisch-amerikanische Wissenschaftler und Science fiction Autor Isaac Asimov, wie die Schule der Zukunft im Jahr 2157 aussieht – oder genauer: dass es gar keine Schulen mehr gibt. Jedes Kind hat neben seinem Kinderzimmer im Elternhaus einen kleinen Schulraum, in dem es von einem mechanischen Lehrer (einer Maschine mit Bildschirm und einem Schlitz zum Einwerfen der Hausaufgaben) unterrichtet wird. Diese Lehrmaschine ist perfekt auf die Fähigkeiten des einzelnen Kindes eingestellt und kann es optimal beschulen. Nur: Maschinen können kaputt gehen. Die elfjährige Margie wird von ihrem mechanischen Lehrer wieder und wieder in Geographie abgefragt, aber jedes Mal schlechter benotet. Das sieht die Mutter und ruft den Schulinspektor, um den mechanischen Lehrer zu reparieren.
Design and Implementation of a Camera-Based Tracking System for MAV Using Deep Learning Algorithms
(2023)
In recent years, the advancement of micro-aerial vehicles has been rapid, leading to their widespread utilization across various domains due to their adaptability and efficiency. This research paper focuses on the development of a camera-based tracking system specifically designed for low-cost drones. The primary objective of this study is to build up a system capable of detecting objects and locating them on a map in real time. Detection and positioning are achieved solely through the utilization of the drone’s camera and sensors. To accomplish this goal, several deep learning algorithms are assessed and adopted because of their suitability with the system. Object detection is based upon a single-shot detector architecture chosen for maximum computation speed, and the tracking is based upon the combination of deep neural-network-based features combined with an efficient sorting strategy. Subsequently, the developed system is evaluated using diverse metrics to determine its performance for detection and tracking. To further validate the approach, the system is employed in the real world to show its possible deployment. For this, two distinct scenarios were chosen to adjust the algorithms and system setup: a search and rescue scenario with user interaction and precise geolocalization of missing objects, and a livestock control scenario, showing the capability of surveying individual members and keeping track of number and area. The results demonstrate that the system is capable of operating in real time, and the evaluation verifies that the implemented system enables precise and reliable determination of detected object positions. The ablation studies prove that object identification through small variations in phenotypes is feasible with our approach.
Digital, virtual environments and the metaverse are rapidly taking shape and will generate disruptive changes in the areas of ethics, privacy, safety, and how the relationships between human beings will be developed. To uncover some of some of the implications that will impact those areas, this study investigates the perceptions of 101 younger people from the generations Y and Z. We present a first exploratory analysis of the findings, focusing on knowledge and self-perception. Results show that these young generations are seriously doubting their knowledge on the metaverse and virtual worlds – regarding both the definition and the usage. It is interesting to see only a medium confidence level, considering that the participants are young and from an academic environment, which should increase their interest in and the affinity towards virtual worlds. Males from both generations perceive themselves as significantly more knowledgeable than females. Regarding a fitting definition, almost 40% agreed on the metaverse as a “universal and immersive virtual world that is made accessible using virtual reality and augmented reality technologies”. Regarding the topic in general, several participants (almost 40%) considered themselves sceptics or “just” users (38%). Interestingly, generation Y participants were more likely than the younger generation Z participants to identify themselves as early adopters or innovators. In result, the considerable amount of “mixed feelings” regarding digital, virtual environments and the metaverse shows that in-depth studies on the perception of the metaverse as well as its ethical and integrity implications are required to create more accessible, inclusive, safe, and inclusive digital, virtual environments.
Blockchain interoperability: the state of heterogenous blockchain-to-blockchain communication
(2023)
Blockchain technology has been increasingly adopted over the past few years since the introduction of Bitcoin, with several blockchain architectures and solutions being proposed. Most proposed solutions have been developed in isolation, without a standard protocol or cryptographic structure to work with. This has led to the problem of interoperability, where solutions running on different blockchain platforms are unable to communicate, limiting the scope of use. With blockchains being adopted in a variety of fields such as the Internet of Things, it is expected that the problem of interoperability if not addressed quickly, will stifle technology advancement. This paper presents the current state of interoperability solutions proposed for heterogenous blockchain systems. A look is taken at interoperability solutions, not only for cryptocurrencies, but also for general data-based use cases. Current open issues in heterogenous blockchain interoperability are presented. Additionally, some possible research directions are presented to enhance and to extend the existing blockchain interoperability solutions. It was discovered that though there are a number of proposed solutions in literature, few have seen real-world implementation. The lack of blockchain-specific standards has slowed the progress of interoperability. It was also realized that most of the proposed solutions are developed targeting cryptocurrency-based applications.

Electrochemical pressure impedance spectroscopy (EPIS) has received the attention of researchers as a method to study mass transport processes in polymer electrolyte mem-brane fuel cells (PEMFC). It is based on analyzing the cell voltage response to a harmonic excitation of the gas phase pressure in the frequency domain. Several experiments with a single-cell fuel cell have shown that the spectra contain information in the frequency range typical for mass transport processes and are sensitive to specific operating condi-tions and structural fuel cell parameters. To further benefit from the observed features, it is essential to identify why they occur, which to date has not yet been accomplished. The aim of the present work, therefore, is to identify causal links between internal processes and the corresponding EPIS features.
To this end, the study follows a model-based approach, which allows the analysis of inter-nal states that are not experimentally accessible. The PEMFC model is a pseudo-2D model, which connects the mass transport along the gas channel with the mass transport through the membrane electrode assembly. A modeling novelty is the consideration of the gas vol-ume inside the humidifier upstream the fuel cell inlet, which proves to be crucial for the reproduction of EPIS. The PEMFC model is parametrized to a 100 cm² single cell of the French project partner, who provided the experimental EPIS results reproduced and in-terpreted in the present study.
The simulated EPIS results show a good agreement with the experiments at current den-sities ≤ 0.4 A cm–2, where they allow a further analysis of the observed features. At the lowest excitation frequency of 1 mHz, the dynamic cell voltage response approaches the static pressure-voltage response. In the simulated frequency range between 1 mHz – 100 Hz, the cell voltage oscillation is found to strongly correlate with the partial pressure oscillation of oxygen, whereas the influence of the water pressure is limited to the low frequency region.
The two prominent EPIS features, namely the strong increase of the cell voltage oscillation and the increase of phase shift with frequency, can be traced back via the oxygen pressure to the oscillation of the inlet flow rate. The phenomenon of the oscillating inlet flow rate is a consequence of the pressure change of the gas phase inside the humidifier and in-creases with frequency. This important finding enables the interpretation of experimen-tally observed EPIS trends for a variation of operational and structural fuel cell parame-ters by tracing them back to the influence of the oscillating inlet flow rate.
The separate simulation of the time-dependent processes of the PEMFC model through model reduction shows their individual influence on EPIS. The sluggish process of the wa-ter uptake by the membrane is visible below 0.1 Hz, while the charge and discharge of the double layer becomes visible above 1 Hz. The gas transport through the gas diffusion layer is only visible above 100 Hz. The simulation of the gas transport through the gas channel
without consideration of the humidifier becomes visible above 1 Hz. With consideration of the humidifier the gas transport through the gas channel is visible throughout the fre-quency range. The strong similarity of the spectra considering the humidifier with the spectra of the full model setup shows the dominant influence of the humidifier on EPIS.
A promising observation is the change in the amplitude relationship between the cell volt-age and the oxygen partial pressure oscillation as a function of the oxygen concentration in the catalyst layer. At a frequency where the influence of oxygen pressure on the cell voltage is dominant, for example at 1 Hz, the amplitude of the cell voltage oscillation could be used to indirectly measure the oxygen concentration in the catalyst layer.
This article presents the development, parameterization, and experimental validation of a pseudo-three-dimensional (P3D) multiphysics aging model of a 500 mAh high-energy lithium-ion pouch cell with graphite negative electrode and lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) positive electrode. This model includes electrochemical reactions for solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation at the graphite negative electrode, lithium plating, and SEI formation on plated lithium. The thermodynamics of the aging reactions are modeled depending on temperature and ion concentration and the reactions kinetics are described with an Arrhenius-type rate law. Good agreement of model predictions with galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is observed over a wide range of operating conditions. The model allows to quantify capacity loss due to cycling near beginning-of-life as function of operating conditions and the visualization of aging colormaps as function of both temperature and C-rate (0.05 to 2 C charge and discharge, −20 °C to 60 °C). The model predictions are also qualitatively verified through voltage relaxation, cell expansion and cell cycling measurements. Based on this full model, six different aging indicators for determination of the limits of fast charging are derived from post-processing simulations of a reduced, pseudo-two-dimensional isothermal model without aging mechanisms. The most successful aging indicator, compared to results from the full model, is based on combined lithium plating and SEI kinetics calculated from battery states available in the reduced model. This methodology is applicable to standard pseudo-two-dimensional models available today both commercially and as open source.
Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) and variable air volume (VAV) systems are considered among the best heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC) thanks to their ability to provide cooling and heating in different thermal zones of the same building. As well as their ability to recover the heat rejected from spaces requiring cooling and reuse it to heat another space. Nevertheless, at the same time, these systems are considered one of the most energy-consuming systems in the building. So, it is crucial to well size the system according to the building’s cooling and heating needs and the indoor temperature fluctuations. This study aims to compare these two energy systems by conducting an energy model simulation of a real building under a semi-arid climate for cooling and heating periods. The developed building energy model (BEM) was validated and calibrated using measured and simulated indoor air temperature and energy consumption data. The study aims to evaluate the effect of these HVAC systems on energy consumption and the indoor thermal comfort of the building. The numerical model was based on the Energy Plus simulation engine. The approach used in this paper has allowed us to reach significant quantitative energy saving along with a high level of indoor thermal comfort by using the VRF system compared to the VAV system. The findings prove that the VRF system provides 46.18% of the annual total heating energy savings and 6.14% of the annual cooling and ventilation energy savings compared to the VAV system.
Seismic data processing involves techniques to deal with undesired effects that occur during acquisition and pre-processing. These effects mainly comprise coherent artefacts such as multiples, non-coherent signals such as electrical noise, and loss of signal information at the receivers that leads to incomplete traces. In the past years, there has been a remarkable increase of machine-learning-based solutions that have addressed the aforementioned issues. In particular, deep-learning practitioners have usually relied on heavily fine-tuned, customized discriminative algorithms. Although, these methods can provide solid results, they seem to lack semantic understanding of the provided data. Motivated by this limitation, in this work, we employ a generative solution, as it can explicitly model complex data distributions and hence, yield to a better decision-making process. In particular, we introduce diffusion models for three seismic applications: demultiple, denoising and interpolation. To that end, we run experiments on synthetic and on real data, and we compare the diffusion performance with standardized algorithms. We believe that our pioneer study not only demonstrates the capability of diffusion models, but also opens the door to future research to integrate generative models in seismic workflows.
In Zeiten großer Veränderungen haben genossenschaftlich organisierte KMU die Möglichkeit, auf komplexe Herausforderungen mit kooperativen Lösungsansätzen zu reagieren, vor allem wenn dabei die Kraft und Kreativität der Gemeinschaft genutzt wird. Getreu dem Motto „Was einer alleine nicht schafft, das schaffen viele“ des Genossenschaftsvorreiters Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen ist gemeinschaftliches unternehmerisches Handeln identitätsstiftend und motivierend, woraus wiederum eine sich selbst verstärkende Eigendynamik entstehen kann. Wie Mittelstand, Politik und Gesellschaft davon profitieren, stellen Prof. Dr. Tobias Popovic und Prof. Dr. Thomas Baumgärtler in diesem Beitrag dar.
Im Zuge der Machbarkeitsstudie „BubbleMeth“ (FKZ BWFE310091) wurde die Machbarkeit der biologischen Methanisierung in einem neukonzipierten innovativen Pilot-Reaktor, basierend auf einer Gegenstromblasensäule mit separatem Entgasungs-Reaktor, sowohl für den Betrieb in der biologischen in-situ als auch der ex-situ Methanisierung demonstriert.
Die Pilot-Anlage besteht aus einer Gegenstromblasensäule und einem separaten Entgasungs-Reaktor und wurde an der Hochschule Offenburg geplant und gebaut. Die beiden Reaktor-Säulen haben jeweils eine Höhe von 10 m, einen Säulendurchmesser von 0,3 m und ein Gesamtreaktionsvolumen von etwa 1,1 m3. Der Gaseintrag erfolgt über Sinterplatten am Boden der Gegenstromblasensäule. In dieser Begasungssäule strömt die Flüssigkeit in entgegengesetzter Richtung zu den aufsteigenden Gasblasen und reichert sich durch den am Säulenfuß vorliegenden hydraulischen Druck zunehmend mit gelöstem Gas an. Die Säule, in die das Eduktgas am Säulenboden eingetragen wird, ist in Abbildung 1 auf der rechten Seite dargestellt und befindet sich auf der Saugseite einer Pumpe. Bei einer etwa 9,5 m hohen Wassersäule erhöht sich der Absolutdruck am Säulenboden auf etwa 1,95 bar, womit sich die Löslichkeit einer beliebigen Gaskomponente im Vergleich zum Atmosphärendruck bei konstanter Temperatur im Gleichgewicht gemäß dem Henry’schen Gesetz näherungsweise verdoppelt. Dieser Effekt wird genutzt, um die Verfügbarkeit von gelöstem Wasserstoff für die bei der biologischen Methanisierung katalytisch wirkenden hydrogenothrophen Archaeen zu erhöhen. Durch die Zirkulation der Flüssigkeit und den damit erreichten Druckwechsel wird auf der Seite des Entgasungs-Reaktors ein Ausgasen der relativ zum Atmosphärendruck übersättigten Gaskomponente ermöglicht. Durch die Zirkulation der Flüssigkeit über zwei Säulen wird außerdem die räumliche Trennung des Eduktgaseintrages und der Produktgasabtrennung erreicht.
Die in-situ Methanisierung wurde in der Machbarkeitsstudie bis zu einer organischen Beladungsrate von 0,94 kg m-3 d-1 realisiert. Die erwartete Biogasbildungsrate (BGBR) bei vollständiger Umsetzung des Glucose/Fructose-Substrates zu Methan und CO2 lag bei ca. 0,686 m3 m-3 d-1. Die gemessene BGBR erreichte 0,61 ± 0,03 m3 m-3 d-1. Die geringe Abweichung kann auf eine zusätzliche Nutzung des Substrates für den Erhaltungsstoffwechsel des gesamten biologischen Systems zurückgeführt werden. Der maximale volumetrische H2-Eintrag betrug während der in-situ Methanisierung 0,785 m3 m-3 d-1 und ist dabei bezogen auf das gesamte Reaktionsvolumen von ca. 1,1 m3 in beiden Reaktorkolonnen. Das eingesetzte H2:CO2-Verhältnis lag bei 2,3, um einen vollständigen CO2-Umsatz und eine damit verbundene Verschiebung des pH-Wertes in den alkalischen Bereich bei der in-situ Methanisierung zu vermeiden. Die Produktgaszusammensetzung lag stabil bei ca. 80 Vol.% CH4, 18 Vol.% CO2 und geringen Mengen an Stickstoff, die im Wesentlichen aus der manuellen Entnahme der Gasproben resultieren, und entsprach der erwarteten Zusammensetzung bei dem vorgegebenen H2:CO2-Verhältnis.
Im Anschluss an die Untersuchungsphase der in-situ Methanisierung wurde der Prozess auf die ex-situ Methanisierung umgestellt. Dazu wurde die OLR schrittweise reduziert und gleichzeitig der Eintrag von CO2 aus einer Druckgasflasche erhöht. Die ex-situ Methanisierung wurde im Rahmen der Machbarkeitsstudie bis zu einem volumenspezifischen CO2-Eintrag bezogen auf das Gesamtreaktionsvolumen von 1,1 m3 von 0,563 m3 CO2 m-3 d-1 durchgeführt.
Der maximale volumetrische H2-Eintrag betrug während der ex-situ Methanisierung 2,168 m3 m-3 d-1. Das eingesetzte H2:CO2-Verhältnis lag bei 3,6 bis 3,9. Die Produktgaszusammensetzung lag stabil bei ca. 91 Vol.% CH4, 8 Vol.% CO2 und geringen Mengen an Stickstoff, und entsprach der erwarteten Zusammensetzung bei dem vorgegebenen H2:CO2-Verhältnis.
Besonders bemerkenswert war, dass sowohl bei der in-situ als auch der ex-situ Methanisierung und den jeweils in der Machbarkeitsstudie eingesetzten maximalen volumetrischen H2-Einträge weder im austretenden Produktgas am Entgasungsreaktor noch im rezirkulierten Gas am Kopf des Begasungsreaktors Wasserstoff nachzuweisen war. Damit besteht großes Potenzial für eine weitere Steigerung der Methanbildungsrate. Aus diesem Grund sollen die Arbeiten zur biologischen Methanisierung in einem Innovationsprojekt fortgeführt werden. Die Anlage soll hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung in einer relevanten Einsatzumgebung zur Methanisierung von in Biogas enthaltenem CO2-bewertet werden. Dazu soll die Anlage außerdem mit einem preiswerten alkalischen Elektrolyseur kombiniert werden, um das Verfahren so kostengünstig wie möglich zu gestalten. Dieser Elektrolyseur soll in Anlehnung an die fluktuierende Energiebereitstellung Erneuerbarer Energien zyklisch betrieben werden und dabei vor allem zu Zeiten günstiger Spotmarktpreise in Betrieb sein.

By addressing the challenges posed by under-digitised infrastructure, the project aims to drive sustainable and innovative practices in manufacturing. All five project partner organisations have been actively engaged in offering relevant educational content and framework for decentralised sustainable economic development in regional and national contexts through capacity building at a local level. A crucial element of the added value is the new channel for obtaining feedback from students. The survey results, which are outlined in the paper, offer valuable insights gathered from students, contributing to the continuous improvement of the project.
The article investigates the development of a manufacturing route for highly porous titanium foams suitable for craniofacial surgery applications, particularly in cranioplasties. The study focuses on the polyurethane replication method for foam production and emphasizes reducing residual gas content, as it significantly affects the mechanical properties and suitability for approval of the foams. Various factors such as starting materials, solvent debinding, heating schedules, and hydrogen atmosphere are analyzed for their impact on residual gas content. It is shown that significant reductions in residual gas content can only be achieved by reworking each step of the process. A combination of initial solvent debinding of the PU template with dimethyl sulphoxide, reduction of suspension additives, use of coarser Gd. 1 powders, and an integrated debinding and sintering process under partial hydrogen atmosphere achieves a significant reduction in residual gas content. This way, the potential for producing titanium foams that comply with relevant standards for craniofacial implants is demonstrated.

Method and system for extractin metal and oxygen from powdered metal oxides (EP000004170066A2)
(2023)
A method for extracting metal and oxygen from powdered metal oxides in electrolytic cell is proposed, the electrolytic cell comprising a container, a cathode, an anode and an oxygen-ion-conducting membrane, the method comprising providing a solid oxygen ion conducting electrolyte powder into a container, providing a feedstock comprising at least one metal oxide in powdered form into the container, applying an electric potential across the cathode and the anode, the cathode being in communication with the electrolyte powder and the anode being in communication with the membrane in communication with the electrolyte powder, such that at least one respective metallic species of the at least one metal oxide is reduced at the cathode and oxygen is oxidized at the anode to form molecular oxygen, wherein the potential across the cathode and the anode is greater than the dissociation potential of the at least one metal oxide and less than the dissociation potential of the solid electrolyte powder and the membrane.
Phytases are widely used food and feed enzymes to improve phosphate availability and reduce anti-nutritional factors. Despite the benefits, enzyme usage is restricted by the harsh conditions in a gastrointestinal tract (pH 2–6) and feed pelleting conditions at high temperatures (60–90 °C). The commercially available phytase Quantum® Blue has been immobilized as CLEAs using glutardialdehyde and soy protein resulting in a residual activity of 33%. The influence of the precipitating agent, precipitant concentration, cross-linker concentration and cross-linking time, sodium borohydride as well as the proteic feeders gluten, soy protein and bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been optimized. The best conditions were 90% (v/v) ethyl lactate as precipitating reagent, 100 mM glutardialdehyde and a soy protein concentration of 227 mg/L with a cross-linking time of 1 h. The intrinsically stable phytase remained its high thermal stability and temperature optimum. The phytase-CLEA achieved a 425% increase of residual activity under harsh acidic conditions between pH 2.2 and 3.5 compared to the free enzyme. The free and immobilized phytase were deployed in an in vitro assay simulating the acidic conditions in the gizzard of poultry at pH 2. The hydrolysis of phytate was monitored using a novel high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) analysis and DAD scanner to study the InsPx fingerprint. All lower inositol phosphate pools (InsP1–InsP6) and free phosphate were separated and analyzed. The phytase-CLEA efficiently released 80% of the total phosphate within 180 min, whereas the free enzyme only released 6% in the same time under the same conditions.
LogIKTram
(2023)
Der Anstieg des urbanen Verkehrs belastet zunehmend die Anwohner, die Nutzer der Infrastruktur sowie die Umwelt. Während für die Personenbeförderung die Straßenbahnen eine Entlastung bieten, existieren für den innerstädtischen Logistikverkehr keine passenden Angebote. Aus diesem Grund verfolgt das Projekt LogIKTram das Ziel, den Logistikverkehr mit einer Gütertram auf die Schiene zu verlagern. Hierfür werden ein Logistikkonzept sowie verschiedene Planungsmodelle entwickelt, die eine vereinfachte Nutzung erlauben.
Lithium-ion battery cells exhibit a complex and nonlinear coupling of thermal, electrochemical,and mechanical behavior. In order to increase insight into these processes, we report the development of a pseudo-three-dimensional (P3D) thermo-electro-mechanical model of a commercial lithium-ion pouch cell with graphite negative electrode and lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide/lithium cobalt oxide blend positive electrode. Nonlinear molar volumes of the active materials as function of lithium stoichiometry are taken from literature and implemented into the open-source software Cantera for convenient coupling to battery simulation codes. The model is parameterized and validated using electrical, thermal and thickness measurements over a wide range of C-rates from 0.05 C to 10 C. The combined experimental and simulated analyses show that thickness change during cycling is dominated by intercalation-induced swelling of graphite, while swelling of the two blend components partially cancel each other. At C-rates above 2 C, electrochemistry-induced temperature increase significantly contributes to cell swelling due to thermal expansion. The thickness changes are nonlinearly distributed over the thickness of the electrode pair due to gradients in the local lithiation, which may accelerate local degradation. Remaining discrepancies between simulation and experiment at high C-rates might be attributed to lithium plating, which is not considered in the model at present.
Electrochemical pressure impedance spectroscopy (EPIS) is an emerging tool for the diagnosis of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). It is based on analyzing the frequency response of the cell voltage with respect to an excitation of the gas-phase pressure. Several experimental studies in the past decade have shown the complexity of EPIS signals, and so far there is no agreement on the interpretation of EPIS features. The present study contributes to shed light into the physicochemical origin of EPIS features, by using a combination of pseudo-two-dimensional modeling and analytical interpretation. Using static simulations, the contributions of cathode equilibrium potential, cathode overpotential, and membrane resistance on the quasi-static EPIS response are quantified. Using model reduction, the EPIS responses of individual dynamic processes are predicted and compared to the response of the full model. We show that the EPIS signal of the PEMFC studied here is dominated by the humidifier. The signal is further analyzed by using transfer functions between various internal cell states and the outlet pressure excitation. We show that the EPIS response of the humidifier is caused by an oscillating oxygen molar fraction due to an oscillating mass flow rate.
A balcony photovoltaic (PV) system, also known as a micro-PV system, is a small PV system consisting of one or two solar modules with an output of 100–600 Wp and a corresponding inverter that uses standard plugs to feed the renewable energy into the house grid. In the present study we demonstrate the integration of a commercial lithium-ion battery into a commercial micro-PV system. We firstly show simulations over one year with one second time resolution which we use to assess the influence of battery and PV size on self-consumption, self-sufficiency and the annual cost savings. We then develop and operate experimental setups using two different architectures for integrating the battery into the micro-PV system. In the passive hybrid architecture, the battery is in parallel electrical connection to the PV module. In the active hybrid architecture, an additional DC-DC converter is used. Both architectures include measures to avoid maximum power point tracking of the battery by the module inverter. Resulting PV/battery/inverter systems with 300 Wp PV and 555 Wh battery were tested in continuous operation over three days under real solar irradiance conditions. Both architectures were able to maintain stable operation and demonstrate the shift of PV energy from the day into the night. System efficiencies were observed comparable to a reference system without battery. This study therefore demonstrates the feasibility of both active and passive coupling architectures.
Subjects utilizing a cochlear implant (CI) in one ear and a hearing aid (HA) on the contralateral ear suffer from mismatches in stimulation timing due to different processing latencies of both devices. This device delay mismatch leads to a temporal mismatch in auditory nerve stimulation. Compensating for this auditory nerve stimulation mismatch by compensating for the device delay mismatch can significantly improve sound source localization accuracy. One CI manufacturer has already implemented the possibility of mismatch compensation in its current fitting software. This study investigated if this fitting parameter can be readily used in clinical settings and determined the effects of familiarization to a compensated device delay mismatch over a period of 3–4 weeks. Sound localization accuracy and speech understanding in noise were measured in eleven bimodal CI/HA users, with and without a compensation of the device delay mismatch. The results showed that sound localization bias improved to 0°, implying that the localization bias towards the CI was eliminated when the device delay mismatch was compensated. The RMS error was improved by 18% with this improvement not reaching statistical significance. The effects were acute and did not further improve after 3 weeks of familiarization. For the speech tests, spatial release from masking did not improve with a compensated mismatch. The results show that this fitting parameter can be readily used by clinicians to improve sound localization ability in bimodal users. Further, our findings suggest that subjects with poor sound localization ability benefit the most from the device delay mismatch compensation.
Lithium-ion batteries exhibit slow voltage dynamics on the minute time scale that are usually associated with transport processes. We present a novel modelling approach toward these dynamics by combining physical and data-driven models into a Grey-box model. We use neural networks, in particular neural ordinary differential equations. The physical structure of the Grey-box model is borrowed from the Fickian diffusion law, where the transport domain is discretized using finite volumes. Within this physical structure, unknown parameters (diffusion coefficient, diffusion length, discretization) and dependencies (state of charge, lithium concentration) are replaced by neural networks and learnable parameters. We perform model-to-model comparisons, using as training data (a) a Fickian diffusion process, (b) a Warburg element, and (c) a resistor-capacitor circuit. Voltage dynamics during constant-current operation and pulse tests as well as electrochemical impedance spectra are simulated. The slow dynamics of all three physical models in the order of ten to 30 min are well captured by the Grey-box model, demonstrating the flexibility of the present approach.
This paper presents a framework for numerical building validation enhancement based on detailed building specifications from in-situ measurements and evidence-based validation assessment undertaken on a detached sustainable lightweight building in a semi-arid climate. The validation process has been undergone in a set of controlled experiments – a free-float period, and steady-state internal temperatures. The validation was conducted for a complete year with a 1-min time step for the hourly indoor temperature and the variable refrigerant flow (VRF) energy consumption. The initial baseline model was improved by three series of validation steps per three different field measurements including thermal transmittance, glazing thermal and optical properties, and airtightness. Then, the accurate and validated model was used for building energy efficiency assessment in 12 regions of Morocco. This study aims to assess the effect of accurate building characteristics values on the numerical model enhancement. The initial CV(RMSE) and NMBE have improved respectively from 14.58 % and −11.23 %–7.85 % and 1.86 % for the indoor temperature. Besides, from 31.17 % to 14.37 %–20.57 % and 9.77 % for energy consumption. The findings demonstrate that the lightweight construction with the use of a variable refrigerant flow system could be energy efficient in the southern regions of Morocco.
Predictive control has great potential in the home energy management domain. However, such controls need reliable predictions of the system dynamics as well as energy consumption and generation, and the actual implementation in the real system is associated with many challenges. This paper presents the implementation of predictive controls for a heat pump with thermal storage in a real single-family house with a photovoltaic rooftop system. The predictive controls make use of a novel cloud camera-based short-term solar energy prediction and an intraday prediction system that includes additional data sources. In addition, machine learning methods were used to model the dynamics of the heating system and predict loads using extensive measured data. The results of the real and simulated operation will be presented.
The variable refrigerant flow system is one of the best heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC) thanks to its ability to provide thermal comfort inside buildings. But, at the same time, these systems are considered one of the most energy-consuming systems in the building sector. Thus, it is crucial to well size the system according to the building’s cooling and heating needs and the indoor temperature fluctuations. Although many researchers have studied the optimization of the building energy performance considering heating or cooling needs, using air handling units, radiant floor heating, and direct expansion valves, few studies have considered the use of multi-objective optimization using only the thermostat setpoints of VRF systems for both cooling and heating needs. Thus, the main aim of this study is to conduct a sensitivity analysis and a multi-objective optimization strategy for a residential building containing a variable refrigerant flow system, to evaluate the effect of the building performance on energy consumption and improve the building energy efficiency. The numerical model was based on the EnergyPlus, jEPlus, and jEPlus+EA simulation engines. The approach used in this paper has allowed us to reach significant quantitative energy saving by varying the cooling and heating setpoints and scheduling scenarios. It should be stressed that this approach could be applied to several HVAC systems to reduce energy-building consumption.
Running stability is the ability to withstand naturally occurring minor perturbations during running. It is susceptible to external and internal running conditions such as footwear or fatigue. However, both its reliable measurability and the extent to which laboratory measurements reflect outdoor running remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the intra- and inter-day reliability of the running stability as well as the comparability of different laboratory and outdoor conditions. Competitive runners completed runs on a motorized treadmill in a research laboratory and overground both indoors and outdoors. Running stability was determined as the maximum short-term divergence exponent from the raw gyroscope signals of wearable sensors mounted to four different body locations (sternum, sacrum, tibia, and foot). Sacrum sensor measurements demonstrated the highest reliabilities (good to excellent; ICC = 0.85 to 0.91), while those of the tibia measurements showed the lowest (moderate to good; ICC = 0.55 to 0.89). Treadmill measurements depicted systematically lower values than both overground conditions for all sensor locations (relative bias = -9.8% to -2.9%). The two overground conditions, however, showed high agreement (relative bias = -0.3% to 0.5%; relative limits of agreement = 9.2% to 15.4%). Our results imply moderate to excellent reliability for both overground and treadmill running, which is the foundation of further research on running stability.
Blockchain-IIoT integration into industrial processes promises greater security, transparency, and traceability. However, this advancement faces significant storage and scalability issues with existing blockchain technologies. Each peer in the blockchain network maintains a full copy of the ledger which is updated through consensus. This full replication approach places a burden on the storage space of the peers and would quickly outstrip the storage capacity of resource-constrained IIoT devices. Various solutions utilizing compression, summarization or different storage schemes have been proposed in literature. The use of cloud resources for blockchain storage has been extensively studied in recent years. Nonetheless, block selection remains a substantial challenge associated with cloud resources and blockchain integration. This paper proposes a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) approach as an alternative to solving the block selection problem, which involves identifying the blocks to be transferred to the cloud. We propose a DRL approach to solve our problem by converting the multi-objective optimization of block selection into a Markov decision process (MDP). We design a simulated blockchain environment for training and testing our proposed DRL approach. We utilize two DRL algorithms, Advantage Actor-Critic (A2C), and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) to solve the block selection problem and analyze their performance gains. PPO and A2C achieve 47.8% and 42.9% storage reduction on the blockchain peer compared to the full replication approach of conventional blockchain systems. The slowest DRL algorithm, A2C, achieves a run-time 7.2 times shorter than the benchmark evolutionary algorithms used in earlier works, which validates the gains introduced by the DRL algorithms. The simulation results further show that our DRL algorithms provide an adaptive and dynamic solution to the time-sensitive blockchain-IIoT environment.
Background:
Ankle braces aim to reduce lateral ankle sprains. Next to protection, factors influencing user compliance, such as sports performance, motion restriction, and users’ perceptions, are relevant for user compliance and thus injury prevention. Novel adaptive protection systems claim to change their mechanical behavior based on the intensity of motion (eg, the inversion velocity), unlike traditional passive concepts of ankle bracing.
Purpose:
To compare the performance of a novel adaptive brace with 2 passive ankle braces while considering protection, sports performance, freedom of motion, and subjective perception.
Study Design:
Controlled laboratory study.
Methods:
The authors analyzed 1 adaptive and 2 passive (one lace-up and one rigid brace) ankle braces, worn in a low-cut, indoor sports shoe, which was also the no-brace reference condition. We performed material testing using an artificial ankle joint system at high and low inversion velocities. Further, 20 male, young, healthy team sports athletes were analyzed using 3-dimensional motion analysis in sports-related movements to address protection, sports performance, and active range of motion dimensions. Participants rated subjective comfort, stability, and restriction experienced when using the products.
Results:
Subjective stability rating was not different between the adaptive and passive systems. The rigid brace was superior in restricting peak inversion during the biomechanical testing compared with the passive braces. However, in the material test, the adaptive brace increased its stiffness by approximately 400% during the fast compared with the slow inversion velocities, demonstrating its adaptive behavior and similar stiffness values to passive braces. We identified minor differences in sports performance tasks. The adaptive brace improved active ankle range of motion and subjective comfort and restriction ratings.
Conclusion:
The adaptive brace offered similar protective effects in high-velocity inversion situations to those of the passive braces while improving range of motion, comfort, and restriction rating during noninjurious motions.
Clinical Relevance:
Protection systems are only effective when used. Compared with traditional passive ankle brace technologies, the novel adaptive brace might increase user compliance by improving comfort and freedom of movement while offering similar protection in injurious situations.
Diese Bachelorthesis befasst sich mit der Testung eines an der TU München entwickelten Biosignalverstärkers zur Registrierung von auditorisch evozierten Potentialen. Ziel dieses Projekts ist die Charakterisierung dieses Verstärkers. Dabei soll geprüft werden, ob der Verstärker AEPs registrieren und um verstellbare Faktoren verstärken kann. Dafür wurde eine MATLAB – Software implementiert, die es erlaubt über eine Soundkarte akustische Signale mittels Kopfhörer auszugeben und zeitgleich die vom Verstärker registrierten Potentiale einzulesen, zu Mitteln und sie grafisch darzustellen.
Erste Versuche wurden mit der Loop Back Box von Interacoustics, einem Schwingkreis, der einen künstlichen Patienten simuliert, durchgeführt. Diese Versuchsreihen zeigten, dass reale Signale gemessen werden. Anschließend konnten Probandenmessungen mit dem Verstärker und Referenzmessungen mit der Eclipse von Interacoustics durchgeführt werden. Bei sämtlichen Messreihen zeigte sich im Vergleich der beiden Systeme hohe Ähnlichkeit der Kurvenverläufe. Insbesondere das zeitliche Auftreten der Jewett V, der größten gemessenen Amplitude, war nahezu identisch. Allerdings stimmen die Amplitudenwerte nicht überein. Während die Amplitude der Jewett V bei Messungen mit der Eclipse um die 1µV erreichte, war die Amplitude beim Verstärker nur ein bis zwei Nanovolt groß. Damit ist die Verstärkung um ein tausendfaches geringer als bei der Eclipse.
Anhand der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse konnten Hardware technische Optimierungen evaluiert und diskutiert werden.
Deep learning approaches are becoming increasingly important for the estimation of the Remaining Useful Life (RUL) of mechanical elements such as bearings. This paper proposes and evaluates a novel transfer learning-based approach for RUL estimations of different bearing types with small datasets and low sampling rates. The approach is based on an intermediate domain that abstracts features of the bearings based on their fault frequencies. The features are processed by convolutional layers. Finally, the RUL estimation is performed using a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. The transfer learning relies on a fixed-feature extraction. This novel deep learning approach successfully uses data of a low-frequency range, which is a precondition to use low-cost sensors. It is validated against the IEEE PHM 2012 Data Challenge, where it outperforms the winning approach. The results show its suitability for low-frequency sensor data and for efficient and effective transfer learning between different bearing types.
Vorhofflimmern ist die häufigste tachykarde Herzrhythmusstörung weltweit. Dabei verliert das Herz seinen normofrequenten Sinusrhythmus und schlägt nicht mehr regelmäßig, sondern zu schnell und unregelmäßig. Vorhofflimmern ist normalerweise keine lebensbedrohliche Herzrhythmusstörung, aber es kann zu einem Schlaganfall führen. Die Ursache dieser Herzrhythmusstörung sind die Kreisende bzw. die fokalen Erregungen im linken Atrium, die hauptsächliche aus einer oder mehreren Pulmonalvenen kommen. Die übliche Therapieverfahren des Vorhofflimmerns ist die Pulmonalvenenisolation.
Diese Bachelorthesis beschäftigt sich daher mit der Modellierung unterschiedlicher linksatrialer Fokus-Modelle und intrakardialer Elektrodenkatheter für die Diagnostik und Terminierung von Vorhofflimmern mittels Pulmonalvenenisolation im Offenburger Herzrhythmusmodell nach Schalk, Krämer und Benke, welches in CST
Studio Suite realisiert wurde.
Zu Beginn wurden die verschiedenen linksatrialen fokalen Flimmerquellen modelliert und daraufhin simuliert. Hierbei wurde jeweils eine Simulation mit linksatrialen fokalen Flimmerquellen, die aus einzelnen, dualen oder allen vier Pulmonalvenen kommen, durchgeführt. Es wurde ebenfalls eine weitere Simulation mit Biosignalen (aus der Realität) erstellt. Mit diesen Simulationen konnte nun der elektrische Erregungsablauf sichtbar gemacht werden. Daraufhin wurden die Katheter für die Diagnostik und für die Pulmonalvenenisolation modelliert und in das bestehende Offenburger Herzrhythmusmodell integriert. Bei den Diagnostik-Kathetern handelte es sich um 10-polige Lasso® Katheter, zwei Varianten von PentaRay® NAV eco Katheter und 4-polige Diagnostik-Katheter „OSYPKA FINDER pure®“. Ablationskatheter sind zwei Varianten von Pentaspline Basket pose Katheter und HELIOSTAR™ Ablation Ballon. Abschließend wurden verschiedene Varianten von Isolationsverfahren der Pulmonalvenen modelliert und daraufhin die linksatrialen fokalen Flimmerquellen nach der Isolation der Pulmonalvenen simuliert.
Herausforderungen der Zeitungsbranche im Kontext steigender Abopreise und erhöhter Preissensibilität

Die Zuversicht, mit der nicht nur die Zeitungsbranche in das Jahr 2022 gestartet war, wich bereits nach wenigen Wochen einer zunehmenden Alarm- und Krisenstimmung. Nicht zuletzt die Verunsicherung der Verbraucherinnen und Verbraucher hatte dazu geführt, dass eine ganze Reihe von Planungen sowohl im Vertriebs- als auch Werbegeschäft nicht umsetzbar waren. Zugleich befindet sich die Branche nach wie vor in der Phase der digitalen Transformation, da zahlreiche Marktstrukturen sich mit steigender Dynamik verändert haben und auch im Sinne einer Transition weiter verändern. Als Ergänzung zu den bekannten Branchenstudien hat der Bereich Medienmanagement der Hochschule Offenburg zum Jahreswechsel eine Umfrage durchgeführt, aus der hervorgeht, welche Schwerpunkte die Expertinnen und Experten der Verlage 2023 im Lesermarkt setzen wollen.
Bio, vegan – oder was?
(2023)
Nachhaltigkeit als gesellschaftlicher Wert beeinflusst auch die Haltung der Konsumierenden gegenüber Fleisch- und Wurstkonsum und kann zum Umkippen bisheriger Konsummuster führen (Tipping-Point). Für EDEKA Südwestfleisch und Schwarzwaldhof erfordert dies – aufbauend auf der bisherigen Ausrichtung an Nachhaltigkeit – eine zukunftsorientierte Planung des Sortiments im veganen, vegetarischen, hybriden Sektor und im Bereich Bio-Produkte und Tierwohl. Hierfür muss auch die Kommunikationspolitik angepasst werden, um jüngere Zielgruppen zu erreichen, damit das Dilemma der Fleischwirtschaft (Tierwohl wird gefordert, aber nicht in gleichem Masse gekauft) nicht zu Lasten des Markterfolgs geht.
In this paper, the time- and temperature-dependent cyclic ratchetting plasticity of the nickel-based alloy IN100 is experimentally investigated in strain-controlled experiments in the temperature range from 300 °C to 1050 °C. To this end, uniaxial material tests are performed with complex loading histories designed to activate phenomena as strain rate dependency, stress relaxation as well as the Bauschinger effect, cyclic hardening and softening, ratchetting and recovery from hardening. Plasticity models with different levels of complexity are presented that consider these phenomena, and a strategy is derived to determine the multitude of temperature-dependent material properties of the models in a step-by-step procedure based on sub-sets of experimental data of isothermal experiments. The models and the material properties are validated based on the results of non-isothermal experiments. A good description of the time- and temperature-dependent cyclic ratchetting plasticity of IN100 is obtained for isothermal as well as non-isothermal loading with models including ratchetting terms in the kinematic hardening law and the material properties obtained with the proposed strategy.

Das Thema dieser Masterthesis lautet „Camera Stream Solution – Marktübersicht, Lösungsansätze, Prototyp“. Mit dieser Arbeit wird eine Videostreaming-Lösung für die Herrenknecht-Plattform CONNECTED realisiert. Dabei geht es um die Bildschirmaufnahme von Navigations- und Steuerungsbildschirmen auf Tunnelbohrmaschinen und die Übertragung dieser Aufnahmen in die Cloud. Letztlich wird ermöglicht die Aufnahmen in nahezu Echtzeit als Videostream in einem Videoplayer wiederzugeben.
Zu Beginn werden die Grundlagen zur Datenübertragung im Internet sowie zum Streaming erläutert. Im Anschluss wird eine Marktübersicht verschiedener Streaming-Komponenten gegeben sowie einige Lösungsansätze vorgestellt und anhand ausgewählter Kriterien verglichen. Im nächsten Schritt wird die Implementierung eines Prototyps behandelt. Dieser nutzt unter anderem ffmpeg für die Bildschirmaufnahme und die Kodierung sowie die Streaming-Protokolle RTMP (Real Time Messaging Protocol) und HLS (HTTP Live Streaming). Zur Realisierung der Architektur gehört auch die Entwicklung einer REST-API und eines REST-Clients in C#.
Mit dem Projekt wird eine „echte“ Streaming-Lösung für die Kundenplattform CONNECTED entwickelt, die einen Videostream mit 24 Bildern pro Sekunde bietet, um die bisherige Darstellung von Screenshots auf der Plattform zu ersetzen.
In this paper, a temperature-dependent viscoplasticity model is presented that describes thermal and cyclic softening of the hot work steel X38CrMoV5-3 under thermomechanical fatigue loading. The model describes the softening state of the material by evolution equations, the material properties of which can be determined on the basis of a defined experimental program. A kinetic model is employed to capture the effect of coarsening carbides and a new isotropic cyclic softening model is developed that takes history effects during thermomechanical loadings into account. The temperature-dependent material properties of the viscoplasticity model are determined on the basis of experimental data measured in isothermal and thermomechanical fatigue tests for the material X38CrMoV5-3 in the temperature range between 20 and 650 ∘C. The comparison of the model and an existing model for isotropic softening shows an improved description of the softening behavior under thermomechanical fatigue loading. A good overall description of the experimental data is possible with the presented viscoplasticity model, so that it is suited for the assessment of operating loads of hot forging tools.
Relationships between External, Wearable Sensor-Based, and Internal Parameters: A Systematic Review
(2023)
Micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) are used to record training and match play of intermittent team sport athletes. Paired with estimates of internal responses or adaptations to exercise, practitioners gain insight into players’ dose–response relationship which facilitates the prescription of the training stimuli to optimize performance, prevent injuries, and to guide rehabilitation processes. A systematic review on the relationship between external, wearable-based, and internal parameters in team sport athletes, compliant with the PRISMA guidelines, was conducted. The literature research was performed from earliest record to 1 September 2020 using the databases PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and SportDISCUS. A total of 66 full-text articles were reviewed encompassing 1541 athletes. About 109 different relationships between variables have been reviewed. The most investigated relationship across sports was found between (session) rating of perceived exertion ((session-)RPE) and PlayerLoad™ (PL) with, predominantly, moderate to strong associations (r = 0.49–0.84). Relationships between internal parameters and highly dynamic, anaerobic movements were heterogenous. Relationships between average heart rate (HR), Edward’s and Banister’s training impulse (TRIMP) seem to be reflected in parameters of overall activity such as PL and TD for running-intensive team sports. PL may further be suitable to estimate the overall subjective perception. To identify high fine-structured loading—relative to a certain type of sport—more specific measures and devices are needed. Individualization of parameters could be helpful to enhance practicality.
Aktuelle Forschungsstudien betrachten im Kontext von Suffizienz und Marketing aktuell vor allem den Einsatz in Unternehmen selbst und weniger die Wirkung von Marketingmaßnahmen auf die Konsumenten. So gibt es etwa erste Studien dazu warum und wie kommerzielles Marketing suffizienzfördernden Konsum fördern sollte oder zum Einsatz von Suffizienz in der Unternehmenskommunikation. Untersuchungen im Bereich der Kommunikationspolitik und deren Auswirkungen auf das Konsumentenverhalten fokussieren sich vor allem auf die Wahrnehmung des Unternehmens oder die Auswirkungen auf suffizientes Verhalten. Die Art der Kommunikation wird noch als Nischenphänomen in der Praxis angesehen. Ein Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es daher die bestehende Forschung zu erweitern und Implikationen für die Marketingpraxis zu erarbeiten.
Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) technology has been drawing attention recently. Electrification of the heating sector with heat pumps run by carbon-free electricity sources like photovoltaics is setting the ground for the interest. This article gives insight into PVT technologies and collector designs according to application and operating temperatures. For most conventional designs, examples like prototypes from Research & Development projects are presented. In addition, commercial products are listed along these categories, and the influence on the gross thermal and electrical yield is depicted based on Solar Keymark certification data. The process of certification is presented in a comprehensive way, showing current limitations, giving an outlook on the most recent approach for enhanced procedures and specifications. Finally, different system layouts are presented, and examples from installations combined with a heat pump are given with their specific performances. Real performance data of several PVT installations are compared to conventional heat pump systems. The identified seasonal performance factors are in a range from 3.4 to 4.2 and in between air source and ground source heat pumps. Continuous monitoring and derived data are enablers to discover the decisive influence of the system layout and dimensioning on performance indicators like, for example, operating temperatures over the year.
In modernen Industrieautomatisierungssysteme kann die IT-Sicherheit nicht mehr ignoriert werden. Um dem Datenverkehr Schutz zu bieten, sind kryptografische Schutzmaßnahmen notwendig. Eine gängige Schutzmaßnahme ist die Verwendung von digitalen Zertifikaten zur Autorisierung und Authentifizierung. Um Zertifikate sicher und geregelt auf Endgeräte zu bringen, ist jedoch eine Public-Key-Infrastructure notwendig. Solche PKIs sind bisher wenig im Umfeld der Industrieautomatisierung untersucht. Das Institut für verlässliche Embedded-Systems der Hochschule Offenburg bietet hierfür eine mögliche Lösung, welche auf einer zentralen Einheit, genannt Credentialing Entity, basiert. Ein Demonstrator dieses Konzepts wurde bereits in den weit verbreiteten Systemprogrammier-sprachen C und C++ implementiert.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird die Verwendung der modernen speichersicheren Programmiersprache Rust in der Systemprogrammierung als Alternative zu den Domänenführern C/C++ am Beispiel der Implementierung der Credentialing-Entity untersucht. Hierbei werden Aspekte wie die Vorzüge Rusts, dessen Ökosystem und Interoperabilität mit den Marktführern C/C++ untersucht.
Decarbonisation Strategies in Energy Systems Modelling: APV and e-tractors as Flexibility Assets
(2023)
This work presents an analysis of the impact of introducing Agrophotovoltaic technologies and electric tractors into Germany’s energy system. Agrophotovoltaics involves installing photovoltaic systems in agricultural areas, allowing for dual usage of the land for both energy generation and food production. Electric tractors, which are agricultural machinery powered by electric motors, can also function as energy storage units, providing flexibility to the grid. The analysis includes a sensitivity study to understand how the availability of agricultural land influences Agrophotovoltaic investments, followed by the examination of various scenarios that involve converting diesel tractors to electric tractors. These scenarios are based on the current CO2 emission reduction targets set by the German Government, aiming for a 65% reduction below 1990 levels by 2030 and achieving zero emissions by 2045. The results indicate that approximately 3% of available agricultural land is necessary to establish a viable energy mix in Germany. Furthermore, the expansion of electric tractors tends to reduce the overall system costs and enhances the energy-cost-efficiency of Agrophotovoltaic investments.
With the function RooTri(), we present a simple and robust calculation method for the approximation of the intersection points of a scalar field given as an unstructured point cloud with a plane oriented arbitrarily in space. The point cloud is approximated to a surface consisting of triangles whose edges are used for computing the intersection points. The function contourc() of Matlab is taken as a reference. Our experiments show that the function contourc() produces outliers that deviate significantly from the defined nominal value, while the quality of the results produced by the function RooTri() increases with finer resolution of the examined grid.
Introduction: Subjects with mild to moderate hearing loss today often receive hearing aids (HA) with open-fitting (OF). In OF, direct sound reaches the eardrums with minimal damping. Due to the required processing delay in digital HA, the amplified HA sound follows some milliseconds later. This process occurs in both ears symmetrically in bilateral HA provision and is likely to have no or minor detrimental effect on binaural hearing. However, the delayed and amplified sound are only present in one ear in cases of unilateral hearing loss provided with one HA. This processing alters interaural timing differences in the resulting ear signals.
Methods: In the present study, an experiment with normal-hearing subjects to investigate speech intelligibility in noise with direct and delayed sound was performed to mimic unilateral and bilateral HA provision with OF.
Results: The outcomes reveal that these delays affect speech reception thresholds (SRT) in the unilateral OF simulation when presenting speech and noise from different spatial directions. A significant decrease in the median SRT from –18.1 to –14.7 dB SNR is observed when typical HA processing delays are applied. On the other hand, SRT was independent of the delay between direct and delayed sound in the bilateral OF simulation.
Discussion: The significant effect emphasizes the development of rapid processing algorithms for unilateral HA provision.
Background/Purpose
Several methods are used to evaluate the outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA), however, their relationship at different time points after surgery is unclear. The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate correlations between self-report function, performance-based tests (PBTs) and biomechanical parameters in patients 12 months after THA.
Methods
Eleven patients were included in this preliminary cross-sectional study. Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) was completed for self-reported function. As PBTs, the Timed-up-and-Go test (TUG) and 30-Second-Chair-Stand test (30CST) were used. Biomechanical parameters were derived from analyses of hip strength, gait and balance. Potential correlations were calculated using Spearman correlation coefficient r.
Results
HOOS scores and parameters of PBTs showed moderate to strong correlations (0.3 < r < 0.7). Correlation analysis between HOOS scores and biomechanical parameters revealed moderate to strong correlations for hip strength whereas correlations with gait parameters and balance were rather weak (r < 0.3). Moderate to strong correlations were also found between parameters of hip strength and 30CST.
Conclusion
For THA outcome assessment 12 months after surgery, our first results indicate that self-report measures or PBTs could be used. Analysis of hip strength also appears to be reflected in HOOS and PBT parameters and may be considered as an adjunct. Given the weak correlations with gait and balance parameters, we suggest that gait analysis and balance testing should be performed in addition to PROMs and PBTs as they may provide supplementary information, especially for THA patients that are at risk for falls.
