Since stakeholders differ regarding their preferences and time horizons, we employ a multi-criteria decision analysis approach to identify which stakeholders will support or oppose a transition path. We provide a flexible template for analyzing stakeholder preferences toward transition paths. This flexibility comes from the fact that our multi-criteria decision aid-based approach does not involve intensive empirical work with stakeholders.

A large image repository is obtained from about 50,000 m sewers to represent the high variability of real world sewer systems. Automatic image processing combines Canny edge detection, Hough transform for straight lines and cost minimization using Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm. Assuming that flow lines are mostly smoothly connected horizontal structures, piecewise flow line delineation is reduced to a process of selecting adjacent line candidates. Costs are derived from the gap between adjacent candidates and their reliability. A single parameter α enables simple control of the algorithm. The detected flow line may precisely follow the segmented edges (α = 0.0) or minimize gaps at joints (α = 1.0). Both, manual and ground truth-based analysis indicate that α = 0.8 is optimal and independent of the sewer's material.

The interdisciplinary approach is shown using the complex example of an automated, large scale, industrial environment: a typical automotive wind tunnel application. Both the high degree of flexibility in choosing the measurement region and the complete automation of stereo PIV measurements are presented. The setup consists of a combination of three robots, individually used as a 6D traversing unit for the laser illumination system as well as for each of the two cameras. Synchronised movements in the same reference frame are realised through a master-slave setup with a single interface to the user. By integrating the interface into the standard wind tunnel management system, a single measurement plane or a predefined sequence of several planes can be requested through a single trigger event, providing the resulting vector fields within minutes. In this paper, a brief overview on the demands of large scale industrial PIV and the existing solutions is given. Afterwards, the concept of RoboPIV is introduced as a new approach. In a first step, the usability of a selection of commercially available robot arms is analysed. The challenges of pose uncertainty and importance of absolute accuracy are demonstrated through comparative measurements, explaining the individual pros and cons of the analysed systems. Subsequently, the advantage of integrating RoboPIV directly into the existing wind tunnel management system is shown on basis of a typical measurement sequence. In a final step, a practical measurement procedure, including post-processing, is given by using real data and results. Ultimately, the benefits of high automation are demonstrated, leading to a drastic reduction in necessary measurement time compared to non-automated systems, thus massively increasing the efficiency of PIV measurements.}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinSteinbauerMcPhillipsetal.2008, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Steinbauer, Gerald and McPhillips, Graeme and Potgieter, Anet}, title = {RoboCup Standard Platform League - Team Zadeat : an intercontinental research effort}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinMaraisPotgieteretal.2011, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Marais, Stephen and Potgieter, Anet and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {RoboCup Junior: A vehicle for S\&T education in Africa?}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York}, isbn = {978-1-61284-992-8}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{Fabo1992, author = {Fabo, Sabine}, title = {Roaratorio : John Cage}, series = {Diagonal : Zeitschrift der Universit{\"a}t Siegen}, volume = {4(1992)}, journal = {Diagonal : Zeitschrift der Universit{\"a}t Siegen}, number = {Heft "Experimente"}, address = {Siegen}, isbn = {0938-7161}, pages = {201 -- 210}, year = {1992}, language = {de} } @article{WiegandDietrichHerteletal.2013, author = {Wiegand, Sandra and Dietrich, Sascha and Hertel, Robert and Bongaerts, Johannes and Evers, Stefan and Volland, Sonja and Daniel, Rolf and Liesegang, Heiko}, title = {RNA-Seq of Bacillus licheniformis: active regulatory RNA features expressed within a productive fermentation}, series = {BMC genomics}, volume = {Vol. 14}, journal = {BMC genomics}, publisher = {BioMed Central}, address = {London}, issn = {1471-2164}, pages = {667}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{Pietsch1999, author = {Pietsch, Wolfram}, title = {Risk-based Deployment of Standard Software Rollout Processes - a pragmatic approach}, series = {QFD : transactions from the Eleventh Symposium on Quality Function Deployment, [June 12 - 18, 1999, Novi, Michigan] / QFD Institute}, journal = {QFD : transactions from the Eleventh Symposium on Quality Function Deployment, [June 12 - 18, 1999, Novi, Michigan] / QFD Institute}, publisher = {QFD Institute}, address = {Ann Arbor, Mich.}, isbn = {1889477117}, pages = {349 -- 359}, year = {1999}, language = {en} } @article{SchlieperBrandenburgDjuricetal.2009, author = {Schlieper, G. and Brandenburg, V. and Djuric, Z. and Damjanovic, T. and Markovic, N. and Schurgers, L. and Kr{\"u}ger, T. and Westenfeld, R. and Ackermann, D. and Haselhuhn, Angelika and Dimkovic, S. and Ketteler, M. and Floege, J. and Dimkovic, N.}, title = {Risk factors for cardiovascular calcifications in non-diabetic Caucasian haemodialysis patients}, series = {Kidney \& blood pressure research}, volume = {Vol. 32}, journal = {Kidney \& blood pressure research}, issn = {1423-0143 (E-Journal); 0378-5858 (Print); 1011-6524 (Print); 1420-4096 (Print)}, pages = {161 -- 168}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{ThielemannLuedtke2000, author = {Thielemann, Frank and L{\"u}dtke, C.}, title = {Risikomanagement - Aufbau eines Fr{\"u}hwarnsystems}, series = {Wirtschafts-Nachrichten. 45 (2000), H. 12}, journal = {Wirtschafts-Nachrichten. 45 (2000), H. 12}, isbn = {1436-5588}, pages = {14 -- ff}, year = {2000}, language = {de} } @article{BaltzerRiepeMerz2001, author = {Baltzer, Wolfgang and Riepe, Werner and Merz, Hans}, title = {Risikoanalyse zum Transport gef{\"a}hrlicher G{\"u}ter durch Straßentunnel - Abw{\"a}gungsprozesse im Internationalen Vergleich}, series = {Unterirdisches Bauen 2001 : Wege in die Zukunft ; Vortr{\"a}ge der STUVA-Tagung 2001 in M{\"u}nchen / veranst. von der Studiengesellschaft f{\"u}r Unterirdische Verkehrsanlagen e.V., (STUVA), K{\"o}ln}, journal = {Unterirdisches Bauen 2001 : Wege in die Zukunft ; Vortr{\"a}ge der STUVA-Tagung 2001 in M{\"u}nchen / veranst. von der Studiengesellschaft f{\"u}r Unterirdische Verkehrsanlagen e.V., (STUVA), K{\"o}ln}, publisher = {Bertelsmann}, address = {G{\"u}tersloh}, isbn = {3-9803390-7-6}, pages = {204 -- 211}, year = {2001}, language = {de} } @article{Wolf2003, author = {Wolf, Martin R.}, title = {Risiko- und Maßnahmenmanagement bei der Computervalidierung}, series = {Pharma-Technologie-Journal (2003)}, journal = {Pharma-Technologie-Journal (2003)}, publisher = {-}, isbn = {0931-9700}, pages = {50 -- 62}, year = {2003}, language = {de} } @article{SammFaissnerHeinrigsetal.1983, author = {Samm, Doris and Faissner, H. and Heinrigs, W. and Latsch, C.}, title = {Richtungsselektive Z{\"a}hleranordnung zur Messung der Masse Axion-{\"a}hnlicher Teilchen / Faissner, H. ; Heinrigs, W. ; Latsch, C.; Preussger, A.; Samm, D.}, series = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft. 18 (1983), H. 6}, journal = {Verhandlungen der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft. 18 (1983), H. 6}, pages = {1213 -- 1213}, year = {1983}, language = {de} } @article{Hillen1980, author = {Hillen, Walter}, title = {RHO-RHO production by two photon scattering.

This strain is crucial for mechanically controlling the cell shape, function and survival. In this study, the CellDrum technology quantifying cell's (the cellular) mechanical tension on a pico-scale was used to investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on human aortic endothelial cell (HAoEC) tension. The LPS effect during gram-negative sepsis on endothelial cells is cell contraction causing endothelium permeability increase. The aim was to finding out whether recombinant activated protein C (rhAPC) would reverse the endothelial cell response in an in-vitro sepsis model. In this study, the established in-vitro sepsis model was confirmed by interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels at the proteomic and genomic levels by ELISA, real time-PCR and reactive oxygen species (ROS) activation by florescence staining. The thrombin cellular contraction effect on endothelial cells was used as a positive control when the CellDrum technology was applied. Additionally, the Ras homolog gene family, member A (RhoA) mRNA expression level was checked by real time-PCR to support contractile tension results. According to contractile tension results, the mechanical predominance of actin stress fibers was a reason of the increased endothelial contractile tension leading to enhanced endothelium contractility and thus permeability enhancement. The originality of this data supports firstly the basic measurement principles of the CellDrum technology and secondly that rhAPC has a beneficial effect on sepsis influenced cellular tension. The technology presented here is promising for future high-throughput cellular tension analysis that will help identify pathological contractile tension responses of cells and prove further cell in-vitro models.}, language = {en} } @article{FiedlerLaddBitz2017, author = {Fiedler, Thomas M. and Ladd, Mark E. and Bitz, Andreas}, title = {RF safety assessment of a bilateral four-channel transmit/receive 7 Tesla breast coil: SAR versus temperature limits}, series = {Medical Physics}, volume = {44}, journal = {Medical Physics}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1002/mp.12034}, pages = {143 -- 157}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{HansenBitzStreckert1999, author = {Hansen, Volkert W. and Bitz, Andreas and Streckert, Joachim R.}, title = {RF Exposure of Biological Systems in Radial Waveguides}, series = {IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility}, volume = {41}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility}, number = {4}, issn = {1558-187X}, doi = {10.1109/15.809852}, pages = {487 -- 493}, year = {1999}, language = {en} } @article{OrzadaMaderwaldPoseretal.2010, author = {Orzada, Stephan and Maderwald, Stefan and Poser, Benedikt Andreas and Bitz, Andreas and Quick, Harald H. and Ladd, Mark E.}, title = {RF excitation using time interleaved acquisition of modes (TIAMO) to address B1 inhomogeneity in high-field MRI}, series = {Magnetic Resonance in Medicine}, volume = {64}, journal = {Magnetic Resonance in Medicine}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley-Liss}, address = {New York}, issn = {1522-2594}, doi = {10.1002/mrm.22527}, pages = {327 -- 333}, year = {2010}, abstract = {As the field strength and, therefore, the operational frequency in MRI is increased, the wavelength approaches the size of the human head/body, resulting in wave effects, which cause signal decreases and dropouts.

The mobility sector plays a significant role in this shift, affecting different people and groups on multiple levels. Without acceptance from these stakeholders, emission targets are out of reach. This research analyzes how the heterogeneous preferences of various stakeholders align with the transformation of the mobility sector, looking at the extent to which the German transformation paths are supported and where stakeholders are located. Under the research objective of comparing stakeholders' preferences to identify which car segments require additional support for a successful climate transition, a status quo of stakeholders and car performance criteria is the foundation for the analysis. Stakeholders' hidden preferences hinder the derivation of criteria weightings from stakeholders; therefore, a ranking from observed preferences is used. This study's inverse multi-criteria decision analysis means that weightings can be predicted and used together with a recalibrated performance matrix to explore future preferences toward car segments. Results show that stakeholders prefer medium-sized cars, with the trend pointing towards the increased potential for alternative propulsion technologies and electrified vehicles. These insights can guide the improved targeting of policy supporting the energy and mobility transformation. Additionally, the method proposed in this work can fully handle subjective approaches while incorporating a priori information.

The retinal microvasculature provides early insight into the pathogenesis of systemic vascular diseases, but it is unclear whether retinal vessel calibers and acute retinal vessel functional responses differ between young healthy black and white adults. Methods We included 112 black and 143 white healthy normotensive adults (20-30 years). Retinal vessel calibers (central retinal artery and vein equivalent (CRAE and CRVE)) were calculated from retinal images and vessel caliber responses to flicker light induced provocation (FLIP) were determined. Additionally, ambulatory blood pressure (BP), anthropometry and blood samples were collected. Results The groups displayed similar 24 h BP profiles and anthropometry (all p > .24). Black participants demonstrated a smaller CRAE (158 ± 11 vs. 164 ± 11 MU, p < .001) compared to the white group, whereas CRVE was similar (p = .57). In response to FLIP, artery maximal dilation was greater in the black vs. white group (5.6 ± 2.1 vs. 3.3 ± 1.8\%; p < .001). Conclusions Already at a young age, healthy black adults showed narrower retinal arteries relative to the white population. Follow-up studies are underway to show if this will be related to increased risk for hypertension development. The reason for the larger vessel dilation responses to FLIP in the black population is unclear and warrants further investigation.}, language = {en} } @article{AlbannaConzenWeissetal.2016, author = {Albanna, W. and Conzen, C. and Weiss, M. and Clusmann, H. and Fuest, M. and Mueller, M. and Brockmann, M.A. and Vilser, W. and Schmidt-Trucks{\"a}ss, A. and Hoellig, A. and Seiz, M. and Thom{\´e}, C. and Kotliar, Konstantin and Schubert, G.A.}, title = {Retinal Vessel Analysis (RVA) in the context of subarachnoid hemorrhage: A proof of concept study}, series = {PLoS ONE}, volume = {11}, journal = {PLoS ONE}, number = {7}, publisher = {PLOS}, address = {San Francisco}, issn = {1932-6203}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0158781}, pages = {13 Seiten}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Background Timely detection of impending delayed cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is essential to improve outcome, but poses a diagnostic challenge. Retinal vessels as an embryological part of the intracranial vasculature are easily accessible for analysis and may hold the key to a new and non-invasive monitoring technique. This investigation aims to determine the feasibility of standardized retinal vessel analysis (RVA) in the context of SAH. Methods In a prospective pilot study, we performed RVA in six patients awake and cooperative with SAH in the acute phase (day 2-14) and eight patients at the time of follow-up (mean 4.6±1.7months after SAH), and included 33 age-matched healthy controls. Data was acquired using a manoeuvrable Dynamic Vessel Analyzer (Imedos Systems UG, Jena) for examination of retinal vessel dimension and neurovascular coupling. Results Image quality was satisfactory in the majority of cases (93.3\%). In the acute phase after SAH, retinal arteries were significantly dilated when compared to the control group (124.2±4.3MU vs 110.9±11.4MU, p<0.01), a difference that persisted to a lesser extent in the later stage of the disease (122.7±17.2MU, p<0.05). Testing for neurovascular coupling showed a trend towards impaired primary vasodilation and secondary vasoconstriction (p = 0.08, p = 0.09 resp.) initially and partial recovery at the time of follow-up, indicating a relative improvement in a time-dependent fashion. Conclusion RVA is technically feasible in patients with SAH and can detect fluctuations in vessel diameter and autoregulation even in less severely affected patients. Preliminary data suggests potential for RVA as a new and non-invasive tool for advanced SAH monitoring, but clinical relevance and prognostic value will have to be determined in a larger cohort.}, language = {en} } @article{KotliarHanssenEberhardtetal.2013, author = {Kotliar, Konstantin and Hanssen, Henner and Eberhardt, Karla and Vilser, Walthard and Schmaderer, Christoph and Halle, Martin and Heemann, Uwe and Baumann, M.}, title = {Retinal pulse wave velocity in young male normotensive and mildly hypertensive subjects}, series = {Microcirculation}, journal = {Microcirculation}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Malden}, issn = {1549-8719}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{RamoshabaHuismanLammertynetal.2020, author = {Ramoshaba, Nthai E. and Huisman, Hugo W. and Lammertyn, Leandi and Kotliar, Konstantin and Schutte, Aletta E. and Smith, Wayne}, title = {Retinal microvasculature and masked hypertension in young adults: the African-PREDICT study}, series = {Hypertension Research}, journal = {Hypertension Research}, number = {43}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Osaka}, issn = {1348-4214}, doi = {10.1038/s41440-020-0487-0}, pages = {1231 -- 1238}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Masked hypertension is known to induce microvascular complications. However, it is unclear whether early microvascular changes are already occurring in young, otherwise healthy adults. We therefore investigated whether retinal microvascular calibers and acute responses to a flicker stimulus are related to masked hypertension. We used the baseline data of 889 participants aged 20-30 years who were taking part in the African Prospective study on the Early Detection and Identification of Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension. Clinic and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure were measured. The central retinal artery equivalent (CRAE) and central retinal vein equivalent were calculated from fundus images, and retinal vessel dilation was determined in response to flicker light-induced provocation. A smaller CRAE was observed in those with masked hypertension vs. those with normotension (157.1 vs. 161.2 measuring units, P < 0.001). In forward multivariable-adjusted regression analysis, only CRAE was negatively related to masked hypertension [adjusted R² = 0.267, β = -0.097 (95\% CI = -0.165; -0.029), P = 0.005], but other retinal microvascular parameters were not associated with masked hypertension. In multivariable logistic regression analyses, masked hypertension [OR = 2.333, (95\% CI = 1.316; 4.241), P = 0.004] was associated with a narrower CRAE. In young healthy adults, masked hypertension was associated with retinal arteriolar narrowing, thereby reflecting early microvascular alterations known to predict cardiovascular outcomes in later life.}, language = {en} } @article{StreeseKotliarDeiserothetal.2020, author = {Streese, Lukas and Kotliar, Konstantin and Deiseroth, Arne and Infanger, Denis and Gugleta, Konstantin and Schmaderer, Christoph and Hanssen, Henner}, title = {Retinal endothelial function in cardiovascular risk patients: A randomized controlled exercise trial}, series = {Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports}, volume = {30}, journal = {Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {1600-0838}, doi = {10.1111/sms.13560}, pages = {272 -- 280}, year = {2020}, abstract = {The aim of this study was to investigate, for the first time, the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on retinal microvascular endothelial function in cardiovascular (CV) risk patients. In the randomized controlled trial, middle-aged and previously sedentary patients with increased CV risk (aged 58 ± 6 years) with ≥ two CV risk factors were randomized into a 12-week HIIT (n = 33) or control group (CG, n = 36) with standard physical activity recommendations. A blinded examiner measured retinal endothelial function by flicker light-induced maximal arteriolar (ADmax) and venular (VDmax) dilatation as well as the area under the arteriolar (AFarea) and venular (VFarea) flicker curve using a retinal vessel analyzer. Standardized assessments of CV risk factors, cardiorespiratory fitness, and retinal endothelial function were performed before and after HIIT. HIIT reduced body mass index, fat mass, and low-density lipoprotein and increased muscle mass and peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak). Both ADmax (pre: 2.7 ± 2.1\%, post: 3.0 ± 2.2\%, P = .018) and AFarea (pre: 32.6 ± 28.4\%*s, post: 37.7 ± 30.6\%*s, P = .016) increased after HIIT compared with CG (ADmax, pre: 3.2 ± 1.8\%, post: 2.9 ± 1.8\%, P = .254; AFarea, pre: 41.6 ± 28.5\%*s, post: 37.8 ± 27.0\%*s, P = .186). Venular function remained unchanged after HIIT. There was a significant association between ∆-change VO2peak and ∆-changes ADmax and AFarea (P = .026, R² = 0.073; P = .019, R² = 0.081, respectively). 12-weeks of HIIT improved retinal endothelial function in middle-aged patients with increased CV risk independent of the reduction in classical CV risk factors. Exercise has the potential to reverse or at least postpone progression of small vessel disease in older adults with increased CV risk under standard medication. Dynamic retinal vessel analysis seems to be a sensitive tool to detect treatment effects of exercise interventions on retinal microvascular endothelial function in middle-aged individuals with increased CV risk.}, language = {en} } @article{HeuermannSchiek1997, author = {Heuermann, Holger and Schiek, B.}, title = {Results of network analyzer measurements with leakage errors-corrected with direct calibration techniques}, series = {IEEE transactions on instrumentation and measurement : IM / Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Instrumentation and Measurement Group. 46 (1997), H. 5}, journal = {IEEE transactions on instrumentation and measurement : IM / Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Instrumentation and Measurement Group. 46 (1997), H. 5}, isbn = {0018-9456}, pages = {1120 -- 1127}, year = {1997}, language = {en} } @article{HeuermannBaumannFauthetal.1994, author = {Heuermann, Holger and Baumann, F.-M. and Fauth, G. and Albert, M.}, title = {Results of Network Analyzer Measurements with Leakage Errors Corrected with the TMS-15-Term Procedure}, series = {On-Line Moisture Analysis of Raw Coal}, journal = {On-Line Moisture Analysis of Raw Coal}, pages = {1361 -- 1364}, year = {1994}, language = {en} } @article{HeuermannSchiek1994, author = {Heuermann, Holger and Schiek, Burkhard}, title = {Results of Network Analyzer Measurements with Leakage Errors Corrected with the TMS-15-Term Procedure}, pages = {1361 -- 1364}, year = {1994}, language = {en} } @article{HoffschmidtKruegerHennecke2000, author = {Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Kr{\"u}ger, D. and Hennecke, K.}, title = {Results from parabolic trough systems for process heat at the DLR Cologne / D.
