These range from Earth orbit technology demonstrators to active science missions in interplanetary space. We provide a summary of experience from recently flown missions with DLR participation as well as a number of studies.

We emphasise the importance of investigating analyst behaviour in a larger context and argue that analysts who generally devote substantial forecast effort are also likely to devote substantial effort to a specific firm, even if this effort might not be captured by a firm-specific measure. Empirical results reveal that analysts who devote higher general forecast effort issue more accurate forecasts. Additional investigations show that analysts' career prospects improve with higher general forecast effort. Our measure improves on existing methods as it has higher explanatory power regarding differences in forecast accuracy than the commonly applied effort measure.

The adsorption of fatty acids from crude glycerol shows a BET-like behavior. Above a fatty acid concentration of 3.5 g L-1, intercalation of fatty acids can be shown by the appearance of an increased interlayer spacing.

The isolation of sinapic acid was accomplished using a zeolite-based adsorbent with high adsorptive and optimal desorption characteristics. Phytic acid was isolated using the anion-exchange resin Purolite A200®. In addition, the processes resulted in two separated protein fractions. The ratios of globulin and albumin ratio to the total protein were 59.2\% and 40.1\%, respectively. The steps were then combined in two different ways: (a) a 'sequential process' using the zeolite and A200 in batch processes; and (b) a 'parallel process' using only A200 in a chromatographic system to separate all of the compounds. CONCLUSIONS It can be concluded that isolation of all three components was possible in both processes. These could enhance the added value of current processes using rapeseed meal as a protein source. © 2015 Society of Chemical Industry}, language = {en} } @article{AlKaidyDuweHusteretal.2015, author = {Al-Kaidy, Huschyar and Duwe, Anna and Huster, Manuel and Muffler, Kai and Schlegel, Christin and Tim, Sieker and Stadtm{\"u}ller, Ralf and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils and Ulber, Roland}, title = {Biotechnology and bioprocess engineering - from the first ullmann's article to recent trends}, series = {ChemBioEng Reviews}, volume = {2}, journal = {ChemBioEng Reviews}, number = {3}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, doi = {10.1002/cben.201500008}, pages = {175 -- 184}, year = {2015}, abstract = {For several thousand years, biotechnology and its associated technical processes have had a great impact on the development of mankind.

A review on energy efficient commercial buildings in Europe has been carried out consisting of several case studies from different countries. The project included development of zero-energy concepts for reducing energy demand as well as concepts for heating, cooling and ventilation systems by utilising renewable energy sources in three different climates. Also alternative structural frame solutions were developed and analyzed in respect of structural and MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing solutions) features. An innovative long span floor system with integrated MEP routings promises a cost effective alternative for sophisticated ventilation distribution and radiant heating and cooling systems, allowing for high energy efficiency and high quality interior climate. The report includes also review of best architectural practices for integrated renewable energy solutions including different design strategies for building facades of zero energy buildings. Interesting results and design basis are also presented for steel energy pile concept, where structural foundation piles are utilized for ground energy harvesting. Life cycle cost calculations for near zero energy office building based on developed technologies show that a near zero energy construction is also profitable. The results and work methods of the project have been summarized in the form of design guidance that offers designers the knowledge gained in a form that can be easily understood.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GoldmannBraunsteinHeinrichetal.2015, author = {Goldmann, Jan-Peter and Braunstein, Bjoern and Heinrich, Kai and Sanno, Maximilian and St{\"a}udle, Benjamin and Ritzdorf, Wolfgang and Br{\"u}ggemann, Gert-Peter and Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Joint work of the take-off leg during elite high jump}, series = {Proceedings of the 33th International Conference on Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS)}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 33th International Conference on Biomechanics in Sports (ISBS)}, pages = {3 S.}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KolditzAlbinFasseetal.2015, author = {Kolditz, Melanie and Albin, Thivaharan and Fasse, Alessandro and Br{\"u}ggemann, Gert-Peter and Abel, Dirk and Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Simulative Analysis of Joint Loading During Leg Press Exercise for Control Applications}, series = {IFAC-PapersOnLine}, volume = {48}, booktitle = {IFAC-PapersOnLine}, number = {20}, doi = {10.1016/j.ifacol.2015.10.179}, pages = {435 -- 440}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KolditzAlbrachtFasseetal.2015, author = {Kolditz, Melanie and Albracht, Kirsten and Fasse, Alessandro and Albin, Thivaharan and Br{\"u}ggemann, Gert-Peter and Abel, Dirk}, title = {Evaluation of an industrial robot as a leg press training device}, series = {XV International Symposium on Computer Simulation in Biomechanics July 9th - 11th 2015, Edinburgh, UK}, booktitle = {XV International Symposium on Computer Simulation in Biomechanics July 9th - 11th 2015, Edinburgh, UK}, pages = {41 -- 42}, year = {2015}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KonstantinidisKowalskiMartinezetal.2015, author = {Konstantinidis, K. and Kowalski, Julia and Martinez, C.

The objective of this research project is the inquiry to determine the parameters or constraints under which the Passivhaus concept can be implemented under the arid climate conditions in the Arabian Peninsula to achieve an energy-efficient and economical building with high utilization comfort. In cooperation between the Qatar Green Building Council (QGBC), Barwa Real Estate (BRE) and Kahramaa the first Passivhaus was constructed in Qatar and on the Arabian Peninsula in 2013. The Solar-Institut J{\"u}lich of Aachen University of Applied Science supports the Qatar Green Building Council with a dynamic building and equipment simulation of the Passivhaus and the neighbouring reference building. This includes simulation studies with different component configurations for the building envelope and different control strategies for heating or cooling systems as well as the air conditioning of buildings to find an energetic-economical optimum. Part of these analyses is the evaluation of the energy efficiency of the used energy recovery system in the Passivhaus air-conditioning and identification of possible energy-saving effects by the use of a bypass function integrated in the heat exchanger. In this way it is expected that on an annual basis the complete electricity demand of the building can be covered by the roof-integrated PV generator.}, language = {en} } @article{SeynnesBojsenMollerAlbrachtetal.2015, author = {Seynnes, O.

The car model is based on a hatchback passenger car that is known to have relatively high fluctuations in its aerodynamic loads. This study primarily focuses on the lateral motion of the flow on the horizontal plane to determine the effect of the flow motion on the straight-line stability and the initial steering response of the actual car on a track. This paper first compares the flow fields in the wake behind the above mentioned model obtained using conventional and high-speed planar PIV, with sampling frequencies of 8 Hz and 1 kHz, respectively. Large asymmetrically coherent flow structures, which fluctuate at frequencies below 2 Hz, are observed in the results of highspeed PIV measurements, whereas conventional PIV is unable to capture these features of the flow owing to aliasing. This flow pattern with a laterally swaying motion is represented by opposite signs of cross-correlation coefficients of streamwise velocity fluctuations for the two sides of the car model. Effects of two aerodynamic devices that are known to reduce the fluctuation levels of the aerodynamic loads are then extensively investigated. The correlation analyses reveal that these devices indeed reduce the fluctuation levels of the flow and the correlation values around the rear combination-lamp, but it is found that the effects of these devices are different around the c-pillar.}, language = {en} } @incollection{PoghossianSchusserBaeckeretal.2015, author = {Poghossian, Arshak and Schusser, Sebastian and B{\"a}cker, M. and Leinhos, Marcel and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Real-time in-situ electrical monitoring of the degradation of biopolymers using semiconductor field-effect devices}, series = {Biodegradable biopolymers.

The thin films of biodegradable polymer poly(d,l-lactic acid) and enzyme lipase were used as a model system. During degradation, the sensors were read-out by means of impedance spectroscopy. In order to interpret the data obtained from impedance measurements, an electrical equivalent circuit model was developed. In addition, morphological investigations of the polymer surface have been performed by means of in situ atomic force microscopy. The sensor signal change, which reflects the progress of degradation, indicates an accelerated degradation in the presence of the enzyme compared to hydrolysis in neutral pH buffer media.

Despite recent advances for many open research questions, these kind of systems are not widely used in real rescue missions. One reason is that such systems are complex and not (yet) very reliable; another is that one has to be an robotic expert to run such a system. Moreover, available rescue robots are very expensive and the benefits of using them are still limited. In this paper, we present the Scarab robot, an alternative design for a USAR robot. The robot is light weight, humanpackable and its primary purpose is that of extending the rescuer's capability to sense the disaster site. The idea is that a responder throws the robot to a certain spot. The robot survives the impact with the ground and relays sensor data such as camera images or thermal images to the responder's hand-held control unit from which the robot can be remotely controlled.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StopforthFerreinSteinbauer2015, author = {Stopforth, Riaan and Ferrein, Alexander and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {Europe and South African collaboration on the Mechatronics and Robotics systems as part of the SA Robotics Center}, series = {ICRA 2015 Developing Countries Forum}, booktitle = {ICRA 2015 Developing Countries Forum}, pages = {3 S.}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Mechatronics consist of the integration of mechanical engineering, electronic integration and computer science/ engineering.

These investigations deliver insight into details of flow patterns and the effect of varying boundary conditions. Data from hydraulic model tests may be used for calibration of numerical models as well.

The present paper addresses the stability of bed material and scour development for various flow regimes.
