The new coefficient is derived from an aerodynamic analysis of ten different unmanned aircraft used on surveillance, reconnaissance, and search and rescue missions. The aircraft are simulated using a validated unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes approach. The UAV's parasitic drag is significantly influenced by the presence of miscellaneous components like fixed landing gears or electro-optical sensor turrets. These components are responsible for almost half of an unmanned aircraft's total parasitic drag. The new equivalent skin friction coefficient accounts for these effects and is significantly higher compared to other aircraft categories. It is used to initially size an unmanned aircraft for a typical reconnaissance mission. The improved parasitic drag estimation yields a much heavier unmanned aircraft when compared to the sizing results using available drag data of manned aircraft.}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinRensPoel2009, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Rens, Gavin and Poel, Etienne van der}, title = {A BDI agent architecture for a POMDP planner / Rens, Gavin ; Ferrein, Alexander ; Poel, Etienne van der}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{HeuermannSchiek1994, author = {Heuermann, Holger and Schiek, Burkhard}, title = {Calibration of network analyser measurements with leakage errors}, series = {Electronics letters. 30 (1994), H. 1}, journal = {Electronics letters. 30 (1994), H. 1}, isbn = {0013-5194}, pages = {52 -- 53}, year = {1994}, language = {en} } @article{Weigand1994, author = {Weigand, Christoph}, title = {Optimal Production Schedule for a K Products Single Machine Problem}, series = {Economic Quality Control. 9 (1994)}, journal = {Economic Quality Control. 9 (1994)}, isbn = {0940-5151}, pages = {91 -- 101}, year = {1994}, language = {en} } @article{EngelHoltmannUlberetal.2018, author = {Engel, Mareike and Holtmann, Dirk and Ulber, Roland and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils}, title = {Increased Biobutanol Production by Mediator-Less Electro-Fermentation}, series = {Biotechnology Journal}, volume = {14}, journal = {Biotechnology Journal}, number = {4}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1860-7314}, doi = {10.1002/biot.201800514}, year = {2018}, abstract = {A future bio-economy should not only be based on renewable raw materials but also in the raise of carbon yields of existing production routes. Microbial electrochemical technologies are gaining increased attention for this purpose. In this study, the electro-fermentative production of biobutanol with C. acetobutylicum without the use of exogenous mediators is investigated regarding the medium composition and the reactor design. It is shown that the use of an optimized synthetic culture medium allows higher product concentrations, increased biofilm formation, and higher conductivities compared to a synthetic medium supplemented with yeast extract. Moreover, the optimization of the reactor system results in a doubling of the maximum product concentrations for fermentation products. When a working electrode is polarized at -600 mV vs. Ag/AgCl, a shift from butyrate to acetone and butanol production is induced. This leads to an increased final solvent yield of Yᴀᴃᴇ = 0.202 gg⁻¹ (control 0.103 gg⁻¹), which is also reflected in a higher carbon efficiency of 37.6\% compared to 23.3\% (control) as well as a fourfold decrease in simplified E-factor to 0.43. The results are promising for further development of biobutanol production in bioelectrochemical systems in order to fulfil the principles of Green Chemistry.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RigaPitilakisButenwegetal.2022, author = {Riga, Evi and Pitilakis, Kyriazis and Butenweg, Christoph and Apostolaki, Stefania and Karatzetzou, Anna}, title = {Investigating the impact of the new European Seismic Hazard Model ESHM20 on the seismic design and safety control of industrial facilities}, series = {The Third European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology}, booktitle = {The Third European Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology}, editor = {Arion, Cristian and Scupin, Alexandra and Ţigănescu, Alexandru}, isbn = {978-973-100-533-1}, pages = {3261 -- 3270}, year = {2022}, abstract = {The seismic performance and safety of major European industrial facilities has a global interest for Europe, its citizens and economy. A potential major disaster at an industrial site could affect several countries, probably far beyond the country where it is located. However, the seismic design and safety assessment of these facilities is practically based on national, often outdated seismic hazard assessment studies, due to many reasons, including the absence of a reliable, commonly developed seismic hazard model for whole Europe. This important gap is no more existing, as the 2020 European Seismic Hazard Model ESHM20 was released in December 2021. In this paper we investigate the expected impact of the adoption of ESHM20 on the seismic demand for industrial facilities, through the comparison of the ESHM20 probabilistic hazard at the sites where industrial facilities are located with the respective national and European regulations. The goal of this preliminary work in the framework of Working Group 13 of the European Association for Earthquake Engineering (EAEE), is to identify potential inadequacies in the design and safety control of existing industrial facilities and to highlight the expected impact of the adoption of the new European Seismic Hazard Model on the design of new industrial facilities and the safety assessment of existing ones.}, language = {en} } @article{EngelGemuendeHoltmannetal.2019, author = {Engel, Mareike and Gem{\"u}nde, Andre and Holtmann, Dirk and M{\"u}ller-Renno, Christine and Ziegler, Christiane and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils and Ulber, Roland}, title = {Clostridium acetobutylicum's connecting world: cell appendage formation in bioelectrochemical systems}, series = {ChemElectroChem}, volume = {7}, journal = {ChemElectroChem}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {2196-0216}, doi = {10.1002/celc.201901656}, pages = {414 -- 420}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Bacterial cell appendix formation supports cell-cell interaction, cell adhesion and cell movement.

In this work, the cell appendix formation of Clostridium acetobutylicum in biofilms of a BES are imaged and compared with conventional biofilms. Under all observed conditions, the cells possess filamentous appendages with a higher number and density in the BES. Differences in the amount of extracellular polymeric substance in the biofilms of the electrodes lead to the conclusion that the cathode can be used as electron donor and the anode as electron acceptor by C. acetobutylicum. When using conductive atomic force microscopy, a current response of about 15 nA is found for the cell appendages from the BES. This is the first report of conductivity for clostridial cell appendices and represents the basis for further studies on their role for biofilm formation and electron transfer.}, language = {en} } @incollection{TranTranMatthiesetal.2017, author = {Tran, N.

A typical case of contamination with high nitrate contents is whey concentrate, containing nitrate in concentrations up to 25 l. The microbiological removal of nitrate by Paracoccus denitrificans under formation of harmless nitrogen in combination with a cell retention reactor is described here. Focus lies on the resource-conserving design of a microbal denitrification process. Two methods are compared. The application of polyvinyl alcohol-immobilized cells, which can be applied several times in whey feed, is compared with the implementation of a two step denitrification system. First, the whey concentrate's nitrate is removed by ion exchange and subsequently the eluent regenerated by microorganisms under their retention by crossflow filtration. Nitrite and nitrate concentrations were determined by reflectometric color measurement with a commercially available Reflectoquant® device. Correction factors for these media had to be determined. During the pilot development, bioreactors from 4 to 250 mg·L-1 and crossflow units with membrane areas from 0.02 to 0.80 m2 were examined. Based on the results of the pilot plants, a scaling for the exemplary process of denitrifying 1,000 tons per day is discussed.}, language = {en} }
