We propose a holistic framework, structured into the layers 'strategy', 'processes' and 'information systems' and incorporate into each layer all concepts necessary for the implementation of an NGN, as well as the alignment of these concepts.

Our goal is to design a small, portable stand-alone YAGI interpreter. We combine the benefits of a principled domain specification with a clean, small and simple programming language, which does not exploit any side-effects from the implementation language. We discuss general requirements of action-based programming languages and outline YAGI, our action-based language approach which particularly aims at embeddability.}, language = {en} } @article{AtlasBrealeyDharetal.2012, author = {Atlas, Glen and Brealey, David and Dhar, Sunil and Dikta, Gerhard and Singer, Meryvn}, title = {Additional hemodynamic measurements with an esophageal Doppler monitor: a preliminary report of compliance, force, kinetic energy, and afterload in the clinical setting}, series = {Journal of clinical monitoring and computing}, journal = {Journal of clinical monitoring and computing}, number = {26}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {London}, isbn = {1573-2614}, doi = {10.1007/s10877-012-9386-5}, pages = {473 -- 482}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The esophageal Doppler monitor (EDM) is a minimally-invasive hemodynamic device which evaluates both cardiac output (CO), and fluid status, by estimating stroke volume (SV) and calculating heart rate (HR). The measurement of these parameters is based upon a continuous and accurate approximation of distal thoracic aortic blood flow. Furthermore, the peak velocity (PV) and mean acceleration (MA), of aortic blood flow at this anatomic location, are also determined by the EDM. The purpose of this preliminary report is to examine additional clinical hemodynamic calculations of: compliance (C), kinetic energy (KE), force (F), and afterload (TSVRi). These data were derived using both velocity-based measurements, provided by the EDM, as well as other contemporaneous physiologic parameters. Data were obtained from anesthetized patients undergoing surgery or who were in a critical care unit. A graphical inspection of these measurements is presented and discussed with respect to each patient's clinical situation. When normalized to each of their initial values, F and KE both consistently demonstrated more discriminative power than either PV or MA. The EDM offers additional applications for hemodynamic monitoring. Further research regarding the accuracy, utility, and limitations of these parameters is therefore indicated.}, language = {en} } @article{MuribTranCeunincketal.2012, author = {Murib, Mohammed S. and Tran, Anh Quang and Ceuninck, Ward de and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Nesladek, Milos and Serpeng{\"u}zel, Ali and Wagner, Patrick}, title = {Analysis of an optical biosensor based on elastic light scattering from diamond-, glass-, and sapphire microspheres}, series = {Physica Status Solidi A}, volume = {209}, journal = {Physica Status Solidi A}, number = {9}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1862-6319}, doi = {10.1002/pssa.201100795}, pages = {1804 -- 1810}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and protein recognition are now standard tools in biology. In addition, the special optical properties of microsphere resonators expressed by the high quality factor (Q-factor) of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) or morphology dependent resonances (MDRs) have attracted the attention of the biophotonic community. Microsphere-based biosensors are considered as powerful candidates to achieve label-free recognition of single molecules due to the high sensitivity of their WGMs. When the microsphere surface is modified with biomolecules, the effective refractive index and the effective size of the microsphere change resulting in a resonant wavelength shift. The transverse electric (TE) and the transverse magnetic (TM) elastic light scattering intensity of electromagnetic waves at 600 and 1400 nm are numerically calculated for DNA and unspecific binding of proteins to the microsphere surface. The effect of changing the optical properties was studied for diamond (refractive index 2.34), glass (refractive index 1.50), and sapphire (refractive index 1.75) microspheres with a 50 µm radius. The mode spacing, the linewidth of WGMs, and the shift of resonant wavelength due to the change in radius and refractive index, were analyzed by numerical simulations. Preliminary results of unspecific binding of biomolecules are presented. The calculated shift in WGMs can be used for biomolecules detection.}, language = {en} } @incollection{BorggrafeOhndorfDachwaldetal.2012, author = {Borggrafe, Andreas and Ohndorf, Andreas and Dachwald, Bernd and Seboldt, Wolfgang}, title = {Analysis of interplanetary solar sail trajectories with attitude dynamics}, series = {Dynamics and Control of Space Systems 2012}, booktitle = {Dynamics and Control of Space Systems 2012}, publisher = {Univelt Inc}, address = {San Diego}, isbn = {978-0-87703-587-9}, pages = {1553 -- 1569}, year = {2012}, abstract = {We present a new approach to the problem of optimal control of solar sails for low-thrust trajectory optimization. The objective was to find the required control torque magnitudes in order to steer a solar sail in interplanetary space. A new steering strategy, controlling the solar sail with generic torques applied about the spacecraft body axes, is integrated into the existing low-thrust trajectory optimization software InTrance. This software combines artificial neural networks and evolutionary algorithms to find steering strategies close to the global optimum without an initial guess. Furthermore, we implement a three rotational degree-of-freedom rigid-body attitude dynamics model to represent the solar sail in space. Two interplanetary transfers to Mars and Neptune are chosen to represent typical future solar sail mission scenarios. The results found with the new steering strategy are compared to the existing reference trajectories without attitude dynamics. The resulting control torques required to accomplish the missions are investigated, as they pose the primary requirements to a real on-board attitude control system.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FrotscherRaatschenStaat2012, author = {Frotscher, Ralf and Raatschen, Hans-J{\"u}rgen and Staat, Manfred}, title = {Application of an edge-based smoothed finite element method on geometrically non-linear plates of non-linear material}, series = {Proceedings European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS 2012)}, booktitle = {Proceedings European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering (ECCOMAS 2012)}, editor = {Eberhardsteiner, J.}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ReisgenSchleserAbdurakhmanovetal.2012, author = {Reisgen, Uwe and Schleser, Markus and Abdurakhmanov, Aydemir and Gumenyuk, Andrej}, title = {Application of electron beam welding to fabrication of steel-aluminium dissimilar joint}, series = {Beam technologies \& laser application : proceedings of the VII international conference, Saint Petersburg, Sept. 18-21, 2012}, booktitle = {Beam technologies \& laser application : proceedings of the VII international conference, Saint Petersburg, Sept. 18-21, 2012}, publisher = {Publ.

Then homogenization is a powerful tool to speed up the calculations by preserving accurate solutions at the same time. Unfortunately real structures are generally non-periodic, which requires unpractical, complicated homogenization techniques. We demonstrate in this paper, that the application of simple, periodic techniques to realistic media, that are just close to periodic, gives accurate, approximative solutions. In order to obtain effective parameters for the homogenized heat equation, we have to solve a so called "cell problem". In contrast to periodic structures it is not trivial to determine a suitable unit cell, which represents a non-periodic media. To overcome this problem, we give a rule of thumb on how to choose a good cell. Finally we demonstrate the efficiency of our method for virtually generated foams as well as real foams and compare these results to periodic structures.}, language = {en} } @article{Wilke2012, author = {Wilke, Thomas}, title = {Architekturzeichnung als Instrument der Theoriebildung.
