Previous SPT design concepts, however, do not consider shadowing effects and multiple reflections of highly concentrated solar radiation that would inevitably destroy the gossamer sail film. In this paper, we propose a novel advanced SPT (ASPT) design concept that does not suffer from these oversimplifications. We present the equations that describe the thrust force acting on such a sail system and compare its performance with respect to the conventional flat solar sail.}, language = {en} } @article{KotliarKharoubiSchmidtTrucksaessetal.2009, author = {Kotliar, Konstantin and Kharoubi, A. and Schmidt-Trucks{\"a}ß, A. and Halle, M. and Lanzl, I.}, title = {Does internal longitudinal microstructure of retinal veins change with age in medically healthy persons?}, series = {Acta Ophthalmologica}, volume = {Vol. 87}, journal = {Acta Ophthalmologica}, number = {Suppl.

The two empirical friction parameters μ and � correspond to a dry Coulomb friction and a viscous resistance, respectively. Although μ and � lack a proper physical explanation, 60 years of acquired avalanche data in the Swiss Alps made a systematic calibration possible. RAMMS can therefore successfully model avalanche flow depth, velocities, impact pressure and run out distances. Pudasaini and Hutter (2003) have proposed extended, rigorously derived model equations that account for local curvature and twist. A coordinate transformation into a reference system, applied to the actual mountain topography of the natural avalanche path, is performed. The local curvature and the twist of the avalanche path induce an additional term in the overburden pressure. This leads to a modification of the Coulomb friction, the free-surface pressure gradient, the pressure induced by the channel, and the gravity components along and normal to the curved and twisted reference surface. This eventually guides the flow dynamics and deposits of avalanches. In the present study, we investigate the influence of curvature on avalanche flow in real mountain terrain. Simulations of real avalanche paths are performed and compared for the different models approaches. An algorithm to calculate curvature in real terrain is introduced in RAMMS. This leads to a curvature dependent friction relation in an extended version of the Voellmy-Salm model equations. Our analysis provides yet another step in interpreting the physical meaning and significance of the friction parameters used in the RAMMS computational environment.}, language = {en} } @article{GoettscheSchwarzerRoetheretal.2009, author = {G{\"o}ttsche, Joachim and Schwarzer, Klemens and R{\"o}ther, S. and Jellinghaus, Sabine}, title = {Efficient daylighting, heating and shading with rooflight heliostats}, series = {Conference Internationale Energie Solaire et Batiment}, journal = {Conference Internationale Energie Solaire et Batiment}, publisher = {EPFL}, address = {Lausanne}, pages = {243 -- 248}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GoettscheSchwarzerRoetheretal.2009, author = {G{\"o}ttsche, Joachim and Schwarzer, Klemens and R{\"o}ther, Sascha and Jellinghaus, Sabine and Helten, G. and Wittmann, R.}, title = {Efficient daylighting, heating and shading with rooflight heliostats}, series = {Renewables in a changing climate : from Nano to Urban Scale : CISBAT 2009 : 2-3 September 2009, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland : proceedings}, booktitle = {Renewables in a changing climate : from Nano to Urban Scale : CISBAT 2009 : 2-3 September 2009, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland : proceedings}, publisher = {Ecole Polytechnique F{\´e}d{\´e}rale de Lausanne}, address = {Lausanne}, pages = {243 -- 246}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinSchifferLakemeyer2009, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Schiffer, Stefan and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Embedding fuzzy controllers in golog / Ferrein, Alexander ; Schiffer, Stefan ; Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, series = {IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2009.
