A correct assessment of the intervention is of vital importance, since it will reduce the probability of tumor recurrence. Some methods have been proposed to support the medical doctors during the assessment process, however, all of them focus on secondary tumors. In this paper a tool is presented that enables the outcome validation for both primary and secondary tumors. Therefore, a multiphase registration (preoperative arterial and portal phases) followed by a registration between the pre and postoperative CT images is carried out. The first registration is in charge of the primary tumors that are only visible in the arterial phase. The secondary tumors will be incorporated in the second registration step. Finally, the part of the tumor that was not covered by the necrosis is quantified and visualized. The method has been tested in 9 patients, with an average registration error of 1.41 mm.}, language = {en} } @article{HeinkeKnickerAlbracht2018, author = {Heinke, Lars N. and Knicker, Axel J. and Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Evaluation of passively induced shoulder stretch reflex using an isokinetic dynamometer in male overhead athletes}, series = {Isokinetics and Exercise Science}, volume = {26}, journal = {Isokinetics and Exercise Science}, number = {4}, publisher = {IOS Press}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {1878-5913}, doi = {10.3233/IES-184111}, pages = {265 -- 274}, year = {2018}, abstract = {BACKGROUND: Muscle stretch reflexes are widely considered to beneficially influence joint stability and power generation in the lower limbs. While in the upper limbs and especially in the muscles surrounding the shoulder joint such evidence is lacking. OBJECTIVE: To quantify the electromyographical response in the muscles crossing the shoulder of specifically trained overhead athletes to an anterior perturbation force. METHODS: Twenty healthy male participants performed six sets of different external shoulder rotation stretches on an isokinetic dynamometer over a range of amplitudes and muscle pre-activation moment levels. All stretches were applied with a dynamometer acceleration of 10,000∘/s2 and a velocity of 150∘/s. Electromyographical response was measured via sEMG. RESULTS: Consistent reflexes were not observed in all experimental conditions. The reflex latencies revealed a significant muscle main effect (F (2,228) = 99.31, p< 0.001; η2= 0.466; f= 0.934) and a pre-activation main effect (F (1,228) = 142.21, p< 0.001; η2= 0.384; f= 1.418). The stretch reflex amplitude yielded a significant pre-activation main effect (F (1,222) = 470.373, p< 0.001; η2= 0.679; f= 1.454). CONCLUSION: Short latency muscle reflexes showed a tendency to an anterior to posterior muscle recruitment whereby the main internal rotator muscles of the shoulder revealed the most consistent results.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GaoBabilonPfaffetal.2018, author = {Gao, H. and Babilon, Katharina and Pfaff, Raphael and Gan, F. and Reich, A.}, title = {Model of wheel-rail contact for sanding and adhesion enhancement}, series = {Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Contact Mechanics and Wear of Rail/wheel Systems, CM 2018}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Contact Mechanics and Wear of Rail/wheel Systems, CM 2018}, isbn = {978-946186963-0}, pages = {314 -- 321}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{FranzenPindersPfaffetal.2018, author = {Franzen, Julius and Pinders, Erik and Pfaff, Raphael and Enning, Manfred}, title = {RailCrowd's virtual fleets: Make most of your asset data}, series = {Deine Bahn}, journal = {Deine Bahn}, number = {9}, publisher = {Bahn-Fachverlag}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0948-7263}, pages = {11 -- 13}, year = {2018}, abstract = {For smaller railway operators or those with a diverse fleet, it can be difficult to collect sufficient data to improve maintenance programs.

The critical step in operation is to choose suitable process parameters within the process window. In this work, we investigate an upper limit for stripe coatings. This maximum film thickness is characterized by stripe merging which needs to be avoided in a stable process. It is shown that the upper limit reduces the process window for stripe coatings to a major extent. As a result, stripe coatings at large coating gaps and low viscosities are only possible for relatively thick films. Explaining the upper limit, a theory of balancing the side pressure in the gap region in the cross-web direction has been developed.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WiesenEngemannLimpertetal.2018, author = {Wiesen, Patrick and Engemann, Heiko and Limpert, Nicolas and Kallweit, Stephan}, title = {Learning by Doing - Mobile Robotics in the FH Aachen ROS Summer School}, series = {European Robotics Forum 2018, TRROS18 Workshop}, booktitle = {European Robotics Forum 2018, TRROS18 Workshop}, pages = {47 -- 58}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BirklDiendorferKernetal.2018, author = {Birkl, Josef and Diendorfer, Gerhard and Kern, Alexander and Thern, Stephan}, title = {Extremely high lightning peak currents}, series = {34th International Conference on Ligntning Protection, 02-07 September 2018}, booktitle = {34th International Conference on Ligntning Protection, 02-07 September 2018}, isbn = {978-1-5386-6635-7}, pages = {7 Seiten}, year = {2018}, language = {en} }
