The coupling with the energy-efficient submerged-arc process improves degassing and reduces the tendency to pore formation. The high deposition rate of the SA process in combination with the laser beam process offers, providing the appropriate choice of weld preparation, the possibility of welding plates with a thickness larger than 20° mm in a single pass, and also of welding thicker plates with the double-sided single pass technique.}, language = {en} } @article{ReisgenSchleserAbdurakhmanovetal.2012, author = {Reisgen, Uwe and Schleser, Markus and Abdurakhmanov, Aydemir and Turichin, Gleb and Valdaitseva, Elena and Bach, Friedrich-Wilhelm and Hassel, Thomas and Beniyashi, Alexander}, title = {Investigation of factors influencing the formation of weld defects in non-vacuum electron beam welding}, series = {The Paton welding journal}, volume = {2012}, journal = {The Paton welding journal}, number = {2}, publisher = {Paton Publishing House}, address = {Kiev}, issn = {0957-798X}, pages = {11 -- 18}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The influence of welding condition parameters and properties of material on formation of defects, such as humping and undercuts, in non-vacuum electron beam welding was investigated.

The Langmuir probe method is used for measurement. The relative simplicity of the method and the possibility of dispersion of high power on the probe allow its application for the investigation of high-power electron beams. The key element of the method is a rotating thin tungsten wire, which intersects the beam transversely on its axis and collects part of the current by itself. The signals, which are registered in the DIABEAM as a voltage, were taken in the form of amplitude. The conversion of the probe current into the distribution along the beam radius was realised using the Abel's method. A voltage-current characteristic was built for the beam current. The local electron density as well as the electron temperature, the floating potential and the plasma potential were measured and calculated by means of this characteristic.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HartmannKallweitFeldusenetal.2012, author = {Hartmann, Axel and Kallweit, Stephan and Feldusen, Antje and Schr{\"o}der, Wolfgang}, title = {Detection of upstream propagating sound waves at buffet flow using high-speed PIV}, pages = {14 S. : graph.

Application of 5-fluorouracil based counterselection through establishment of a phosphoribosyltransferase deficient Δupp strain eventually facilitated the marker-free introduction of degU32 leading to further protease enhancement achieving levels as for hypersecreting wild strains in which degU was overexpressed. Surprisingly, deletion of rapG - known to interfere with DegU DNA-binding in B. subtilis - did not enhance protease production neither in the wild type nor in the degU32 strain. The combination of degU32 and Δupp counterselection in the type strain is not only equally effective as in hypersecreting wild strains with respect to protease production but furthermore facilitates genetic strain improvement aiming at biological containment and effectiveness of biotechnological processes.}, language = {en} } @article{BoettcherHaselhuhnJakseetal.2012, author = {Boettcher, Martin and Haselhuhn, Angelika and Jakse, Gerhard and Brehmer, Bernhard and Kirschner-Hermanns, Ruth}, title = {Overactive bladder syndrome: an underestimated long-term problem after treatment of patients with localized prostate cancer?}, series = {BJU international}, volume = {109}, journal = {BJU international}, number = {12}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {1365-2176 (E-Journal); 1464-410X (E-Journal); 0007-1331 (Print); 1464-4096 (Print)}, doi = {10.1111/j.1464-410X.2011.10623.x}, pages = {1824 -- 1830}, year = {2012}, abstract = {In this study we observed courses of micturition symptoms and differentiated degrees of symptoms for each point in time while also considering the impact of bothersomeness.

Mathematical approaches have been developed by analytical, physical and numerical models within the past 120 years. During the past 10 years, the number of research investigations has increased due to improved measurement techniques as well as significantly increased computer memories and performances. In this context, the present research deals with the initial stage of two-dimensional dam-break waves by comparing physical and numerical model results as well as analytical approaches. High-speed images and resulting particle image velocimetry calculations are thereby compared with the numerical volume-of-fluid (VOF) method, included in the commercial code FLOW-3D. Wave profiles and drag forces on placed obstacles are analysed in detail. Generally, a good agreement between the laboratory and VOF results is found.}, language = {en} }
