The further growth of the wind industry depends on technological solutions to the challenges in production and construction of the turbines. Wind turbine tower vibrations, which limit power generation efficiency and cause fatigue problems with high maintenance costs, count as one of the main structural difficulties in the wind energy sector. To mitigate tower vibrations auxiliary measures are necessary. The effectiveness of tuned mass damper is verified by means of a numeric study on a 5 MW onshore reference wind turbine. Hereby, also seismic-induced vibrations and soil-structure interaction are considered. Acquired results show that tuned mass damper can effectively reduce resonant tower vibrations and improve the fatigue life of wind turbines. This chapter is also concerned with tuned liquid column damper and a semiactive application of it. Due to its geometric versatility and low prime costs, tuned liquid column dampers are a good alternative to other damping measures, in particular for slender structures like wind turbines.}, language = {en} } @incollection{GollandOhrtmann2020, author = {Golland, Alexander and Ohrtmann, Jan-Peter}, title = {Video surveillance: The supervisory authorities' view andrecent case law}, series = {Turning Point in Data Protection Law}, booktitle = {Turning Point in Data Protection Law}, publisher = {Nomos}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {978-3-8487-6909-4}, doi = {10.5771/9783748921561-175}, pages = {175 -- 178}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @incollection{AkimbekovDigelSherelkhanetal.2022, author = {Akimbekov, Nuraly S. and Digel, Ilya and Sherelkhan, Dinara K. and Razzaque, Mohammed S.}, title = {Vitamin D and Phosphate Interactions in Health and Disease}, series = {Phosphate Metabolism}, booktitle = {Phosphate Metabolism}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-91621-3}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-91623-7_5}, pages = {37 -- 46}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Vitamin D plays an essential role in calcium and inorganic phosphate (Pi) homeostasis, maintaining their optimal levels to assure adequate bone mineralization. Vitamin D, as calcitriol (1,25(OH)2D), not only increases intestinal calcium and phosphate absorption but also facilitates their renal reabsorption, leading to elevated serum calcium and phosphate levels. The interaction of 1,25(OH)2D with its receptor (VDR) increases the efficiency of intestinal absorption of calcium to 30-40\% and phosphate to nearly 80\%. Serum phosphate levels can also influence 1,25 (OH)2D and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels, i.e., higher phosphate concentrations suppress vitamin D activation and stimulate parathyroid hormone (PTH) release, while a high FGF23 serum level leads to reduced vitamin D synthesis. In the vitamin D-deficient state, the intestinal calcium absorption decreases and the secretion of PTH increases, which in turn causes the stimulation of 1,25(OH)2D production, resulting in excessive urinary phosphate loss. Maintenance of phosphate homeostasis is essential as hyperphosphatemia is a risk factor of cardiovascular calcification, chronic kidney diseases (CKD), and premature aging, while hypophosphatemia is usually associated with rickets and osteomalacia. This chapter elaborates on the possible interactions between vitamin D and phosphate in health and disease.}, language = {en} } @incollection{PuliniGligorevic2009, author = {Pulini, Paola and Gligorevic, Snjezana}, title = {WIMAX performance in the airport environment}, series = {Multi-carrier systems \& solutions 2009.

The performance of the so called parking and taxi scenarios is presented for airport communications in C-band. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme brings good performance for both the FL and the RL. For the OFDMA case a structure changing called double-tile is also proposed to improve the system performance.}, language = {en} } @incollection{SchuermannBudaJonkeretal.2010, author = {Sch{\"u}rmann, Volker and Buda, Aurel and Jonker, Stefan and Palmhof, Norman and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Wireless in future automotive applications}, series = {Mobile and wireless communications network layer and circuit level design / ed. by Salma Ait Fares ...}, booktitle = {Mobile and wireless communications network layer and circuit level design / ed. by Salma Ait Fares ...}, publisher = {Intech}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-953-307-042-1}, pages = {71 -- 92}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @incollection{BudaSchuermannWollert2010, author = {Buda, Aurel and Sch{\"u}rmann, Volker and Wollert, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Wireless technologies in factory automation}, series = {Factory automation / ed. by Javier Silvestre-Blanes}, booktitle = {Factory automation / ed. by Javier Silvestre-Blanes}, publisher = {Intech}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-953-7619-42-8}, pages = {29 -- 50}, year = {2010}, language = {en} }
