For that, the reference stress has to be known. Since a complex technical product may fail regarding numerous failure modes, stress in general is highly dimensional rather than scalar. In addition, customers use their products individually, i.e. field operation should be described by a distribution rather than by one scalar stress value. In this paper, a way to span the customer usage space is shown. It allows the identification of worst case reference stress profiles in significantly reduced dimensions with minimal loss of information. The application example shows that even for a complex product like a combustion engine, stress information can be compressed significantly. With low measurement effort it turned out that only three reference stress cycles were sufficient to cover a broad range of customer stress variety.}, language = {en} } @article{ReisgenSchleserMokrovetal.2010, author = {Reisgen, Uwe and Schleser, Markus and Mokrov, Oleg and Ahmed, Essam}, title = {Uni- and bi-axial deformation behavior of laser welded advanced high strength steel sheets}, series = {Journal of materials processing technology}, volume = {210}, journal = {Journal of materials processing technology}, number = {15}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0924-0136}, doi = {http10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2010.08.003}, pages = {2188 -- 2196}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Bead-on-plate butt joints of 2.5 mm hot rolled DP600/DP600 and 1.2 mm cold rolled TRIP700/TRIP700 steel sheets were performed using 6 kW CO2 laser beam welding.

In trees, dated tree-ring series are often exploited to reconstruct dynamics in ecological conditions, and recent work in which wood-anatomical variables have been used in dendrochronology has produced promising results. Environmental signals identified in water-conducting cells carry novel information reflecting changes in regional conditions and are mostly related to short, sub-annual intervals. Although the idea of investigating environmental signals through wood anatomical time series goes back to the 1960s, it is only recently that low-cost computerized image-analysis systems have enabled increased scientific output in this field.

This has been explained by the persisting hypertension and alterations in the peripheral vessels. However, involvement of the central vessels such as the retinal arteries is virtually unknown. A total of 34 patients after coarctation repair (22 men and 12 women; 23 to 58 years old, age range 0 to 32 years at surgical repair) and 34 nonhypertensive controls underwent structural and functional retinal vessel analysis. Using structural analysis, the vessel diameters were measured. Using functional analysis, the endothelium-dependent vessel dilation in response to flicker light stimulation was assessed. In the patients after coarctation repair, the retinal arteriolar diameter was significantly reduced compared to that of the controls (median 182 μm, first to third quartile 171 to 197; vs 197 μm, first to third quartile 193 to 206; p <0.001). These findings were independent of the peripheral blood pressure and age at intervention. No differences were found for venules. The functional analysis findings were not different between the patients and controls (maximum dilation 3.5\%, first to third quartile 2.1\% to 4.5\% vs 3.6\%, first to third quartile 2.2\% to 4.3\%; p = 0.81), indicating preserved autoregulative mechanisms. In conclusion, the retinal artery diameter is reduced in patients after coarctation repair, independent of their current blood pressure level and age at intervention. As a structural marker of chronic vessel damage associated with past, current, or future hypertension, retinal arteriolar narrowing has been linked to stroke incidence. These results indicate an involvement of cerebral microcirculation in aortic coarctation, despite timely repair, and might contribute to explain the increased rate of cerebrovascular events in such patients.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KapoorBollerGiljohannetal.2010, author = {Kapoor, Hrshi and Boller, Christian and Giljohann, Sebastian and Braun, Carsten}, title = {Strategies for structural health monitoring implementation potential assessment in aircraft operational life extension considerations}, series = {2nd International Symposium on NDT in Aerospace : November 22-24, 2010 Hamburg, Germany}, booktitle = {2nd International Symposium on NDT in Aerospace : November 22-24, 2010 Hamburg, Germany}, publisher = {Dt.

The average shortest path length and the clustering coefficient served as global statistical network characteristics. Results Independent on the behavioral condition, epileptic brains exhibited a more regular functional network structure. Similarly, the eyes-closed condition was characterized by a more regular functional network structure in both groups. The amount of network reorganization due to behavioral state changes was similar in both groups. Consistent findings could be achieved for networks derived from EEG but hardly from MEG recordings, and network construction rules had a rather strong impact on our findings. Conclusions Despite the locality of the investigated processes epileptic brain networks differ in their global characteristics from non-epileptic brain networks. Further methodological developments are necessary to improve the characterization of disturbed and normal functional networks.

This chapter covers their orbital and attitude dynamics and control. First, the advantages and limitations of solar sails are discussed and their history and development status is outlined. Because the dynamics of solar sails is governed by the (thermo-)optical properties of the sail film, the basic solar radiation pressure force models have to be described and compared before parameters to measure solar sail performance can be defined. The next part covers the orbital dynamics of solar sails for heliocentric motion, planetocentric motion, and motion at Lagrangian equilibrium points. Afterwards, some advanced solar radiation pressure force models are described, which allow to quantify the thrust force on solar sails of arbitrary shape, the effects of temperature, of light incidence angle, of surface roughness, and the effects of optical degradation of the sail film in the space environment. The orbital motion of a solar sail is strongly coupled to its rotational motion, so that the attitude control of these soft and flexible structures is very challenging, especially for planetocentric orbits that require fast attitude maneuvers. Finally, some potential attitude control methods are sketched and selection criteria are given.}, language = {en} } @article{GoettscheHoffschmidtSchmitzetal.2010, author = {G{\"o}ttsche, Joachim and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Schmitz, Stefan and Sauerborn, Markus}, title = {Solar Concentrating Systems Using Small Mirror Arrays}, series = {Journal of solar energy engineering}, volume = {Vol. 132}, journal = {Journal of solar energy engineering}, number = {Iss. 1}, isbn = {0199-6231}, pages = {4 S.}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @techreport{EschFunkeRoosen2010, author = {Esch, Thomas and Funke, Harald and Roosen, Petra}, title = {SIoBiA - Safety Implications of Biofuels in Aviation}, publisher = {EASA}, address = {K{\"o}ln}, pages = {279 Seiten}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Biofuels potentially interesting also for aviation purposes are predominantly liquid fuels produced from biomass. The most common biofuels today are biodiesel and bioethanol. Since diesel engines are rather rare in aviation this survey is focusing on ethanol admixed to gasoline products. The Directive 2003/30/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of May 8th 2003 on the promotion of the use of biofuels or other renewable fuels for transport encourage a growing admixture of biogenic fuel components to fossil automotive gasoline. Some aircraft models equipped with spark ignited piston engines are approved for operation with automotive gasoline, frequently called "MOGAS" (motor gasoline). The majority of those approvals is limited to MOGAS compositions that do not contain methanol or ethanol beyond negligible amounts. In the past years (bio-)MTBE or (bio-)ETBE have been widely used as blending component of automotive gasoline whilst the usage of low-molecular alcohols like methanol or ethanol has been avoided due to the handling problems especially with regard to the strong affinity for water. With rising mandatory bio-admixtures the conversion of the basic biogenic ethanol to ETBE, causing a reduction of energetic payoff, becomes more and more unattractive. Therefore the direct ethanol admixture is accordingly favoured. Due to the national enforcements of the directive 2003/30/EC more oxygenates produced from organic materials like bioethanol have started to appear in automotive gasolines already. The current fuel specification EN 228 already allows up to 3 \% volume per volume (v/v) (bio-)methanol or up to 5 \% v/v (bio-)ethanol as fuel components. This is also roughly the amount of biogenic components to comply with the legal requirements to avoid monetary penalties for producers and distributors of fuels. Since automotive fuel is cheaper than the common aviation gasoline (AVGAS), creates less problems with lead deposits in the engine, and in general produces less pollutants it is strongly favoured by pilots. But being designed for a different set of usage scenarios the use of automotive fuel with low molecular alcohols for aircraft operation may have adverse effects in aviation operation. Increasing amounts of ethanol admixtures impose various changes in the gasoline's chemical and physical properties, some of them rather unexpected and not within the range of flight experiences even of long-term pilots.}, language = {en} } @article{TurekHeidenGuoetal.2010, author = {Turek, Monik and Heiden, Wolfgang and Guo, Sharon and Riesen, Alfred and Schubert, J{\"u}rgen and Zander, Willi and Kr{\"u}ger, Peter and Keusgen, Michael and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Simultaneous detection of cyanide and heavy metals for environmental analysis by means of µISEs}, series = {Physica Status Solidi (A). 207 (2010), H. 4}, journal = {Physica Status Solidi (A). 207 (2010), H. 4}, isbn = {1862-6300}, pages = {817 -- 823}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlexopoulosHoffschmidtRauetal.2010, author = {Alexopoulos, Spiros and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard and Rau, Christoph and Schmitz, M. and Schwarzb{\"o}zl, P. and Pomp, Stefan}, title = {Simulation results for a hybridized operation of a gas turbine or a burner for a small solar tower power plant}, series = {SolarPACES 2010 : the CSP Conference: electricity, fuels and clean water from concentrated solar energy ; 21 to 24 September 2010, Perpignan, France}, booktitle = {SolarPACES 2010 : the CSP Conference: electricity, fuels and clean water from concentrated solar energy ; 21 to 24 September 2010, Perpignan, France}, publisher = {Soc.

Few studies have been published on possible cognitive effects of MRI examinations. The aim of this study was to examine whether changes are measurable after MRI examinations at 1.5 and 7 T by means of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Materials and Methods TMS was performed in 12 healthy, right-handed male volunteers. First the individual motor threshold was specified, and then the cortical silent period (SP) was measured. Subsequently, the volunteers were exposed to the 1.5-T MRI scanner for 63 minutes using standard sequences. The MRI examination was immediately followed by another TMS session. Fifteen minutes later, TMS was repeated. Four weeks later, the complete setting was repeated using a 7-T scanner. Control conditions included lying in the 1.5-T scanner for 63 minutes without scanning and lying in a separate room for 63 minutes. TMS was performed in the same way in each case. For statistical analysis, Wilcoxon's rank test was performed. Results Immediately after MRI exposure, the SP was highly significantly prolonged in all 12 subjects at 1.5 and 7 T. The motor threshold was significantly increased. Fifteen minutes after the examination, the measured value tended toward normal again. Control conditions revealed no significant differences. Conclusion MRI examinations lead to a transient and highly significant alteration in cortical excitability. This effect does not seem to depend on the strength of the static magnetic field.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HavermannSeilerHenning2010, author = {Havermann, Marc and Seiler, F. and Henning, P.}, title = {Shock Tunnel Experiments and CFD Simulation of Lateral Jet Interaction in Hypersonic Flows}, series = {New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics VII; Contributions to the 16th STAB/DGLR Symposium Aachen, Germany 2008}, booktitle = {New Results in Numerical and Experimental Fluid Mechanics VII; Contributions to the 16th STAB/DGLR Symposium Aachen, Germany 2008}, editor = {Dillmann, Andreas and Heller, Gerd and Klaas, Michael and Kreplin, Hans-Peter and Nitsche, Wolfgang and Schr{\"o}der, Wolfgang}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {9783642142437}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-14243-7_45}, pages = {365 -- 372}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{ReisgenSchleserMokrovetal.2010, author = {Reisgen, Uwe and Schleser, Markus and Mokrov, Oleg and Ahmed, Essam}, title = {Shielding gas influences on laser weldability of tailored blanks of advanced automotive steels}, series = {Applied surface science}, volume = {257}, journal = {Applied surface science}, number = {5}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0169-4332 (E-Journal); 0169-4332 (Print)}, doi = {10.1016/j.apsusc.2010.08.042}, pages = {1401 -- 1406}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The effects of shielding gas types and flow rates on CO2 laser weldability of DP600/TRIP700 steel sheets were studied in this work.

Twelve males performed 10 gait trials on a treadmill, in 2 separate days. B-mode ultrasonography, with the ultrasound probe firmly adjusted in the transverse and frontal planes using a special cast, was used to measure the fascicle length and the pennation angle of the gastrocnemius medialis (GM). A Vicon 624 system with three cameras operating at 120 Hz was also used to record the ankle and knee joint angles. The results showed that measurements of fascicle length and pennation angle showed high reproducibility during the gait cycle, both within the same day and between different days. Moreover, the root mean square differences between the repeated waveforms of both variables were very small, compared with their ranges (fascicle length: RMS = ∼3 mm, range: 38-63 mm; pennation angle: RMS = ∼1.5°, range: 22-32°). However, their reproducibility was lower compared to the joint angles. It was found that representative data have to be derived by a wide number of gait trials (fascicle length ∼six trials, pennation angle more than 10 trials), to assure the reliability of the fascicle length and pennation angle in human gait.}, language = {en} } @article{VogtMottaghyWolfetal.2010, author = {Vogt, C. and Mottaghy, Darius and Wolf, A. and Rath, V. and Pechnig, R. and Clauser, C.}, title = {Reducing temperature uncertainties by stochastic geothermal reservoir modelling}, series = {Geophysical Journal International}, volume = {181}, journal = {Geophysical Journal International}, number = {1}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {1365-246X}, doi = {10.1111/j.1365-246X.2009.04498.x}, pages = {321 -- 333}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Quantifying and minimizing uncertainty is vital for simulating technically and economically successful geothermal reservoirs. To this end, we apply a stochastic modelling sequence, a Monte Carlo study, based on (i) creating an ensemble of possible realizations of a reservoir model, (ii) forward simulation of fluid flow and heat transport, and (iii) constraining post-processing using observed state variables. To generate the ensemble, we use the stochastic algorithm of Sequential Gaussian Simulation and test its potential fitting rock properties, such as thermal conductivity and permeability, of a synthetic reference model and—performing a corresponding forward simulation—state variables such as temperature. The ensemble yields probability distributions of rock properties and state variables at any location inside the reservoir. In addition, we perform a constraining post-processing in order to minimize the uncertainty of the obtained distributions by conditioning the ensemble to observed state variables, in this case temperature. This constraining post-processing works particularly well on systems dominated by fluid flow. The stochastic modelling sequence is applied to a large, steady-state 3-D heat flow model of a reservoir in The Hague, Netherlands. The spatial thermal conductivity distribution is simulated stochastically based on available logging data. Errors of bottom-hole temperatures provide thresholds for the constraining technique performed afterwards. This reduce the temperature uncertainty for the proposed target location significantly from 25 to 12 K (full distribution width) in a depth of 2300 m. Assuming a Gaussian shape of the temperature distribution, the standard deviation is 1.8 K. To allow a more comprehensive approach to quantify uncertainty, we also implement the stochastic simulation of boundary conditions and demonstrate this for the basal specific heat flow in the reservoir of The Hague. As expected, this results in a larger distribution width and hence, a larger, but more realistic uncertainty estimate. However, applying the constraining post-processing the uncertainty is again reduced to the level of the post-processing without stochastic boundary simulation. Thus, constraining post-processing is a suitable tool for reducing uncertainty estimates by observed state variables.}, language = {en} } @article{KirchnerOberlaenderFriedrichetal.2010, author = {Kirchner, Patrick and Oberl{\"a}nder, Jan and Friedrich, Peter and Rysstad, G. and Berger, J. and Keusgen, M. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Realization of a calorimetric gas sensor on polyimide foil for applications in aseptic food industry}, series = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, journal = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, isbn = {1877-7058}, pages = {264 -- 267}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{BohrnStuetzFleischeretal.2010, author = {Bohrn, U. and St{\"u}tz, E. and Fleischer, M. and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Real-time detection of CO by eukaryotic cells}, series = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, journal = {Procedia Engineering. 5 (2010)}, isbn = {1877-7058}, pages = {17 -- 20}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{PaulssenSchweighoeferAbram2010, author = {Paulßen, Elisabeth and Schweigh{\"o}fer, Philip V. and Abram, Ulrich}, title = {Reactions of [ReOX3(PPh3)2] Complexes (X = Cl, Br) with Phenylacetylene and the Structures of the Products}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r anorganische und allgemeine Chemie : ZAAC = Journal of inorganic and general chemistry}, volume = {636}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r anorganische und allgemeine Chemie : ZAAC = Journal of inorganic and general chemistry}, number = {5}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1521-3749}, doi = {10.1002/zaac.200900478}, pages = {779 -- 783}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Oxorhenium(V) complexes [ReOX3(PPh3)2] (X = Cl, Br) react with phenylacetylene under formation of complexes with ylide-type ligands.

Coupled with field observations and historical records, they are especially helpful in understanding avalanche flow in complex terrain. However, their application poses several new challenges to avalanche engineers. A detailed understanding of the avalanche phenomena is required to construct hazard scenarios which involve the careful specification of initial conditions (release zone location and dimensions) and definition of appropriate friction parameters. The interpretation of simulation results requires an understanding of the numerical solution schemes and easy to use visualization tools. We discuss these problems by presenting the computer model RAMMS, which was specially designed by the SLF as a practical tool for avalanche engineers. RAMMS solves the depth-averaged equations governing avalanche flow with accurate second-order numerical solution schemes. The model allows the specification of multiple release zones in three-dimensional terrain. Snow cover entrainment is considered. Furthermore, two different flow rheologies can be applied: the standard Voellmy-Salm (VS) approach or a random kinetic energy (RKE) model, which accounts for the random motion and inelastic interaction between snow granules. We present the governing differential equations, highlight some of the input and output features of RAMMS and then apply the models with entrainment to simulate two well-documented avalanche events recorded at the Vall{\´e}e de la Sionne test site.}, language = {en} } @article{SchifferFerreinLakemeyer2010, author = {Schiffer, Stefan and Ferrein, Alexander and Lakemeyer, Gerhard}, title = {Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Applications (ICIRA 2011)}, series = {Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Applications (ICIRA 2011)}, journal = {Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Applications (ICIRA 2011)}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{KernSchelthoffMathieu2010, author = {Kern, Alexander and Schelthoff, Christof and Mathieu, Moritz}, title = {Probability of lightning strikes to air-terminations of structures using the electro-geometrical model theory and the statistics of lightning current parameters}, pages = {750-1 -- 750-8}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{ArampatzisPeperBierbaumetal.2010, author = {Arampatzis, Adamantios and Peper, Andreas and Bierbaum, Stefanie and Albracht, Kirsten}, title = {Plasticity of human Achilles tendon mechanical and morphological properties in response to cyclic strain}, series = {Journal of Biomechanics}, volume = {43}, journal = {Journal of Biomechanics}, number = {16}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0021-9290}, doi = {10.1016/j.jbiomech.2010.08.014}, pages = {3073 -- 3079}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The purpose of the current study in combination with our previous published data (Arampatzis et al., 2007) was to examine the effects of a controlled modulation of strain magnitude and strain frequency applied to the Achilles tendon on the plasticity of tendon mechanical and morphological properties. Eleven male adults (23.9±2.2 yr) participated in the study. The participants exercised one leg at low magnitude tendon strain (2.97±0.47\%), and the other leg at high tendon strain magnitude (4.72±1.08\%) of similar frequency (0.5 Hz, 1 s loading, 1 s relaxation) and exercise volume (integral of the plantar flexion moment over time) for 14 weeks, 4 days per week, 5 sets per session. The exercise volume was similar to the intervention of our earlier study (0.17 Hz frequency; 3 s loading, 3 s relaxation) allowing a direct comparison of the results. Before and after the intervention ankle joint moment has been measured by a dynamometer, tendon-aponeurosis elongation by ultrasound and cross-sectional area of the Achilles tendon by magnet resonance images (MRI). We found a decrease in strain at a given tendon force, an increase in tendon-aponeurosis stiffness and tendon elastic modulus of the Achilles tendon only in the leg exercised at high strain magnitude. The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the Achilles tendon did not show any statistically significant (P>0.05) differences to the pre-exercise values in both legs. The results indicate a superior improvement in tendon properties (stiffness, elastic modulus and CSA) at the low frequency (0.17 Hz) compared to the high strain frequency (0.5 Hz) protocol. These findings provide evidence that the strain magnitude applied to the Achilles tendon should exceed the value, which occurs during habitual activities to trigger adaptational effects and that higher tendon strain duration per contraction leads to superior tendon adaptational responses.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KerpenBungSchlurmann2010, author = {Kerpen, N.

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.

These strains can efficiently secrete proteins into the culture medium using the general secretion (Sec) pathway. A characteristic feature of all secreted proteins is their N-terminal signal peptides, which are recognized by the secretion machinery. Here, we have studied the production of an industrially important secreted protease, namely, subtilisin BPN′ from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. One hundred seventy-three signal peptides originating from B. subtilis and 220 signal peptides from the B. licheniformis type strain were fused to this secretion target and expressed in B. subtilis, and the resulting library was analyzed by high-throughput screening for extracellular proteolytic activity. We have identified a number of signal peptides originating from both organisms which produced significantly increased yield of the secreted protease. Interestingly, we observed that levels of extracellular protease were improved not only in B. subtilis, which was used as the screening host, but also in two different B. licheniformis strains. To date, it is impossible to predict which signal peptide will result in better secretion and thus an improved yield of a given extracellular target protein. Our data show that screening a library consisting of homologous and heterologous signal peptides fused to a target protein can identify more-effective signal peptides, resulting in improved protein export not only in the original screening host but also in different production strains.}, language = {en} } @article{KernKloetersPferdemenges2010, author = {Kern, Alexander and Kl{\"o}ters, Georg and Pferdemenges, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Optimised protection against lightning for the signalling and safety systems of level crossings on non-electrified railway lines}, series = {RTR : European Rail Technology Review}, volume = {50}, journal = {RTR : European Rail Technology Review}, number = {2}, isbn = {0079-9548}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{SrivastavaSinghAggarwaletal.2010, author = {Srivastava, A. and Singh, V. and Aggarwal, P. and Schneeweiss, F. and Scherer, Ulrich W. and Friedrich, W.}, title = {Optical studies of insulating polymers for radiation dose monitoring}, series = {Indian Journal of Pure \& Applied Physics}, volume = {48}, journal = {Indian Journal of Pure \& Applied Physics}, number = {11}, isbn = {0019-5596}, pages = {782 -- 786}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinSteinbauer2010, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Steinbauer, Gerald}, title = {On the Way to High-Level Programming for Resource-Limited Embedded Systems with Golog}, series = {Simulation, Modeling, and Programming for Autonomous Robots}, journal = {Simulation, Modeling, and Programming for Autonomous Robots}, pages = {229 -- 240}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{AhmedReisgenSchleseretal.2010, author = {Ahmed, Essam and Reisgen, Uwe and Schleser, Markus and Mokrov, Oleg}, title = {On formability of tailor laser welded blanks of DP/TRIP steel sheets}, series = {Science and technology of welding and joining}, volume = {15}, journal = {Science and technology of welding and joining}, number = {5}, publisher = {Maney}, address = {Leeds}, issn = {1743-2936}, doi = {10.1179/136217110X12731414739754}, pages = {337 -- 342}, year = {2010}, abstract = {This paper aims to evaluate the formability of tailor welded blanks of dual phase (DP600)/transformation induced plasticity (TRIP700) steel sheets.

We gave an existence and uniqueness proof for the weak solution of the reformulated problem. To obtain a numerical solution, we developed a semi-implicit and a fully implicit finite volume method.

We achieve this by splitting up the deformation process in a sequence of easier subproblems and by exploiting grid hierarchy. Being of optimal asymptotic complexity, we experience speed-ups up to a factor of 15 in our test cases compared to the BDM. This gives our MDM the potential for tackling large grids and time-dependent problems, where possibly the grid must be dynamically deformed once per time step according to the user's needs.

Besides drought, infection with pine mistletoe (Viscum album ssp. austriacum) seems to play an important role in the mortality dynamics of Scots pines, but how mistletoes promote pine decline remains unclear. To verify whether pine mistletoe infection weakens the host via crown degradation, as observed for dwarf mistletoes, we studied the negative effects of pine mistletoe infestation on the photosynthetic tissues and branch growth of pairs of infested and non-infested branches. Pine mistletoe infection leads to crown degradation in its host by reducing the length, the radial increment, the ramification, the needle length and the number of needle years of the infested branches. This massive loss in photosynthetic tissue results in a reduction in primary production and a subsequent decrease in carbohydrate availability. The significant reduction in needle length due to mistletoe infection is an indication for a lower water and nutrient availability in infested branches. Thus, mistletoe infection might lead to a decrease in the availability of water and carbohydrates, the two most important growth factors, which are already shortened due to the chronic drought situation in the area. Therefore, pine mistletoe increases the risk of drought-induced mortality of its host when growing in a xeric environment.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BorggraefeDachwald2010, author = {Borggr{\"a}fe, Andreas and Dachwald, Bernd}, title = {Mission performance evaluation for solar sails using a refined SRP force model with variable optical coefficients}, series = {2nd International Symposium on Solar Sailing}, booktitle = {2nd International Symposium on Solar Sailing}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Solar sails provide ignificant advantages over other low-thrust propulsion systems because they produce thrust by the momentum exchange from solar radiation pressure (SRP) and thus do not consume any propellant.The force exerted on a very thin sail foil basically depends on the light incidence angle. Several analytical SRP force models that describe the SRP force acting on the sail have been established since the 1970s. All the widely used models use constant optical force coefficients of the reflecting sail material. In 2006,MENGALI et al. proposed a refined SRP force model that takes into account the dependancy of the force coefficients on the light incident angle,the sail's distance from the sun (and thus the sail emperature) and the surface roughness of the sail material [1]. In this paper, the refined SRP force model is compared to the previous ones in order to identify the potential impact of the new model on the predicted capabilities of solar sails in performing low-cost interplanetary space missions. All force models have been implemented within InTrance, a global low-thrust trajectory optimization software utilizing evolutionary neurocontrol [2]. Two interplanetary rendezvous missions, to Mercury and the near-Earth asteroid 1996FG3, are investigated. Two solar sail performances in terms of characteristic acceleration are examined for both scenarios, 0.2 mm/s2 and 0.5 mm/s2, termed "low" and "medium" sail performance. In case of the refined SRP model, three different values of surface roughness are chosen, h = 0 nm, 10 nm and 25 nm.

It has been found that high-frequency diameter changes in the retinal artery blood column along the vessel increase significantly in anamnestically healthy volunteers with increasing age and in patients with glaucoma during vascular dilation. This study was undertaken to investigate whether longitudinal sections of the retinal artery blood column are altered in systemic hypertension. Methods: Retinal arteries of 15 untreated patients with essential arterial hypertension (age, 50.9 ± 11.9 years) and of 15 age-matched anamnestically healthy volunteers were examined by RVA. After baseline assessment, a monochromatic luminance flicker (530-600 nm; 12.5 Hz; 20 s) was applied to evoke retinal vasodilation. Differences in amplitude and frequency of spatial artery blood column diameter change along segments (longitudinal arterial profiles) of 1 mm in length were measured and analyzed using Fourier transformation. Results: In the control group, average reduced power spectra (ARPS) of longitudinal arterial profiles did not differ when arteries changed from constriction to dilation. In the systemic hypertension group, ARPS during constriction, baseline, and restoration were identical and differed from ARPS during dilation (P < 0.05). Longitudinal arterial profiles in both groups showed significant dissimilitude at baseline and restoration (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The retinal artery blood column demonstrates microstructural alterations in systemic hypertension and is less irregular along the vessel axis during vessel dilation. These microstructural changes may be an indication of alterations in vessel wall rigidity, vascular endothelial function, and smooth muscle cells in this disease, leading to impaired perfusion and regulation.}, language = {en} } @misc{O'ConnellSiegertMaureretal.2010, author = {O'Connell, Timothy and Siegert, Petra and Maurer, Karl-Heinz and Schiedel, Marc-Steffen and Vockenroth, Inga Kerstin}, title = {Method for improving the cleaning action of a detergent or cleaning agent [Internationale Patentanmeldung]}, publisher = {WIPO}, address = {Genf}, pages = {1 -- 15}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @article{FunkeBoernerRobinsonetal.2010, author = {Funke, Harald and B{\"o}rner, Sebastian and Robinson, A. and Hendrick, P. and Recker, E.}, title = {Low NOx H2 combustion for industrial gas turbines of various power ranges}, series = {5th International Gas Turbine Conference ETN-IGTC, ETN-2010-42, Brussels, Belgium, October 2010}, journal = {5th International Gas Turbine Conference ETN-IGTC, ETN-2010-42, Brussels, Belgium, October 2010}, year = {2010}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AnthrakidisRusackSchwarzer2010, author = {Anthrakidis, Anette and Rusack, Markus and Schwarzer, Klemens}, title = {Low effort measurement method of PTC-efficiency}, series = {SolarPACES 2010 : the CSP conference: electricity, fuels and clean water from concentrated solar energy ; 21 to 24 September 2010, Perpignan, France}, booktitle = {SolarPACES 2010 : the CSP conference: electricity, fuels and clean water from concentrated solar energy ; 21 to 24 September 2010, Perpignan, France}, publisher = {Soc.
