In case of seismic excitation, these constructions are highly vulnerable to stability failures. An earthquake-resistant design of rigidly supported tanks for high seismic loading demands, however, uneconomic wall thicknesses. A cost-effective alternative can be provided by base isolation systems. In this paper, a simplified seismic design procedure for base isolated tanks is introduced, by appropriately modifying the standard mechanical model for flexible, rigidly supported tanks. The non-linear behavior of conventional base isolation systems becomes an integral part of a proposed simplified process, which enables the assessment of the reduced hydrodynamic forces acting on the tank walls and the corresponding stress distribution. The impulsive and convective actions of the liquid are taken into account. The validity of this approach is evaluated by employing a non-linear fluid-structure interaction algorithm of finite element method. Special focus is placed on the boundary conditions imposed from the base isolation and the resulting hydrodynamic pressures. Both horizontal and vertical component of ground motion are considered in order to study the principal effects of the base isolation on the pressure distribution of the tank walls. The induced rocking effects associated with elastomeric bearings are discussed. The results manifest that base isolated tanks can be designed for seismic loads by means of the proposed procedure with sufficient accuracy, allowing to dispense with numerically expensive techniques.}, language = {en} } @article{OrzadaBitzJohstetal.2017, author = {Orzada, Stephan and Bitz, Andreas and Johst, S{\"o}ren and Gratz, Marcel and V{\"o}lker, Maximilian N. and Kraff, Oliver and Abuelhaija, Ashraf and Fiedler, Thomas M. and Solbach, Klaus and Quick, Harald H. and Ladd, Mark E.}, title = {Analysis of an integrated 8-Channel Tx/Rx body array for use as a body coil in 7-Tesla MRI}, series = {Frontiers in Physics}, volume = {5}, journal = {Frontiers in Physics}, number = {Jun}, issn = {2296-424X}, doi = {10.3389/fphy.2017.00017}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ZugNiemuellerHochgeschwenderetal.2017, author = {Zug, Sebastian and Niemueller, Tim and Hochgeschwender, Nico and Seidensticker, Kai and Seidel, Martin and Friedrich, Tim and Neumann, Tobias and Karras, Ulrich and Kraetzschmar, Gerhard K. and Ferrein, Alexander}, title = {An Integration Challenge to Bridge the Gap Among Industry-Inspired RoboCup Leagues}, series = {RoboCup 2016: Robot World Cup XX.

Electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor (EIS) structures have been used to transduce chemical changes produced by the enzyme system to an electronically readable capacitive output signal using field-effect features of the EIS device. Two enzymes, urease and esterase, were immobilized on the insulating interface of EIS structure producing local pH changes performing XOR logic operation controlled by various combinations of the input signals represented by urea and ethyl butyrate. Another EIS transducer was functionalized with esterase only, thus performing Identity (ID) logic operation for the ethyl butyrate input. Both semiconductor devices assembled in parallel operated as a logically reversible CNOT gate. The present system, despite its simplicity, demonstrated for the first time logically reversible function of the enzyme system transduced electronically with the semiconductor devices. The biomolecular realization of a CNOT gate interfaced with semiconductors is promising for integration into complex biomolecular networks and future biosensor/biomedical applications.}, language = {en} } @article{RietschPfaffenrotBitzetal.2017, author = {Rietsch, Stefan H.

Technical Operations Research (TOR) shifts the focus from the single component to the system as a whole and finds its optimal topology and operating strategy simultaneously. In previous works, we provided a preselected construction kit of suitable components for the algorithm. This approach may give rise to a combinatorial explosion if the preselection cannot be cut down to a reasonable number by human intuition. To reduce the number of discrete decisions, we integrate laws derived from similarity theory into the optimization model. Since the physical characteristics of a production series are similar, it can be described by affinity and scaling laws. Making use of these laws, our construction kit can be modeled more efficiently: Instead of a preselection of components, it now encompasses whole model ranges. This allows us to significantly increase the number of possible set-ups in our model. In this paper, we present how to embed this new formulation into a mixed-integer program and assess the run time via benchmarks. We present our approach on the example of a ventilation system design problem.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MarcoFerrein2017, author = {Marco, Heather G. and Ferrein, Alexander}, title = {AGNES: The African-German Network of Excellence in Science}, series = {Proceedings of the 2nd Developing World Robotics Forum, Workshop at IEEE AFRICON 2017}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2nd Developing World Robotics Forum, Workshop at IEEE AFRICON 2017}, pages = {1 -- 2}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{EngelmannBuhlBaumannetal.2017, author = {Engelmann, Ulrich M. and Buhl, Eva Miriam and Baumann, Martin and Schmitz-Rode, Thomas and Slabu, Ioana}, title = {Agglomeration of magnetic nanoparticles and its effects on magnetic hyperthermia}, series = {Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering}, volume = {3}, journal = {Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering}, number = {2}, publisher = {De Gruyter}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {2364-5504}, doi = {10.1515/cdbme-2017-0096}, pages = {457 -- 460}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{MuellerJungAhammer2017, author = {M{\"u}ller, Wolfram and Jung, Alexander and Ahammer, Helmut}, title = {Advantages and problems of nonlinear methods applied to analyze physiological time signals: human balance control as an example}, series = {Scientific Reports}, volume = {7}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, number = {Article number 2464}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {2045-2322}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-017-02665-5}, pages = {1 -- 11}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{AlexopoulosHoffschmidt2017, author = {Alexopoulos, Spiros and Hoffschmidt, Bernhard}, title = {Advances in solar tower technology}, series = {Wiley interdisciplinary reviews : Energy and Environment : WIREs}, volume = {6}, journal = {Wiley interdisciplinary reviews : Energy and Environment : WIREs}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {2041-840X}, doi = {10.1002/wene.217}, pages = {1 -- 19}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{WeberRuffStahl2017, author = {Weber, Tobias and Ruff-Stahl, Hans-Joachim K.}, title = {Advances in Composite Manufacturing of Helicopter Parts}, series = {International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace}, volume = {4}, journal = {International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace}, number = {1}, issn = {2374-6793}, doi = {10.15394/ijaaa.2017.1153}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchifferFerrein2017, author = {Schiffer, Stefan and Ferrein, Alexander}, title = {A System Layout for Cognitive Service Robots}, series = {Cognitive Robot Architectures.
