Therefore, the sterilisation process was extensively studied by using test specimens inoculated with Bacillus atrophaeus spores in order to identify the most influencing process factors on its microbicidal effectiveness. Besides the contact time of the test specimens with gaseous H2O2 varied between 0.2 and 0.5 s, the present H2O2 concentration in a range from 0 to 8\% v/v (volume percent) had a strong influence on the microbicidal effectiveness, whereas the change of the vaporiser temperature, gas flow and humidity were almost negligible. Furthermore, a calorimetric H2O2 gas sensor was characterised in the sterilisation process with gaseous H2O2 in a wide range of parameter settings, wherein the measurement signal has shown a linear response against the H2O2 concentration with a sensitivity of 4.75 °C/(\% v/v). In a final step, a correlation model by matching the measurement signal of the gas sensor with the microbial inactivation kinetics was established that demonstrates its suitability as an efficient method for validating the microbicidal effectiveness of sterilisation processes with gaseous H2O2.}, language = {en} } @article{MangHaulena1992, author = {Mang, Thomas and Haulena, Friedhelm}, title = {Monodisperse latex particles with functional groups}, series = {Modification of polymers : 4th Dresden Polymer Discussion ; September 22 to 25, 1992 at Gaussig / Dresden University of Technology, Department of Macromolecular Chemistry and Textile Chemistry; Institute of Polymer Technology Dresden.

In 2016, AlphaGo, an MCTS-based software agent, outperformed the human world champion of the board game Go. This game was for long considered almost infeasible for machines, due to its immense search space and the need for a long-term strategy. Since this historical success, MCTS is considered as an effective new approach for many other scientific and technical problems. Interestingly, civil structural engineering, as a discipline, offers many tasks whose solution may benefit from intelligent search and in particular from adopting MCTS as a search tool. In this work, we show how MCTS can be adapted to search for suitable solutions of a structural engineering design problem. The problem consists of choosing the load-bearing elements in a reference reinforced concrete structure, so to achieve a set of specific dynamic characteristics. In the paper, we report the results obtained by applying both a plain and a hybrid version of single-agent MCTS. The hybrid approach consists of an integration of both MCTS and classic Genetic Algorithm (GA), the latter also serving as a term of comparison for the results. The study's outcomes may open new perspectives for the adoption of MCTS as a design tool for civil engineers.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{GrundmannBorellaCeriottietal.2021, author = {Grundmann, Jan Thimo and Borella, Laura and Ceriotti, Matteo and Chand, Suditi and Cordero, Federico and Dachwald, Bernd and Fexer, Sebastian and Grimm, Christian D. and Hendrikse, Jeffrey and Herč{\´i}k, David and Herique, Alain and Hillebrandt, Martin and Ho, Tra-Mi and Kesseler, Lars and Laabs, Martin and Lange, Caroline and Lange, Michael and Lichtenheldt, Roy and McInnes, Colin R. and Moore, Iain and Peloni, Alessandro and Plettenmeier, Dirk and Quantius, Dominik and Seefeldt, Patric and Venditti, Flaviane c.

Today (April 26th, 2021), the impact probability is 5\%, in a steep rise from 1 in 2500 upon discovery six days ago. We all know how these things end. Or do we? Unless somebody kicked off another headline-grabbing media scare or wants to keep civil defense very idle very soon, chances are that it will hit (note: this is an exercise!). Taking stock, it is barely 6 months to impact, a steadily rising likelihood that it will actually happen, and a huge uncertainty of possible impact energies: First estimates range from 1.2 MtTNT to 13 GtTNT, and this is not even the worst-worst case: a 700 m diameter massive NiFe asteroid (covered by a thin veneer of Ryugu-black rubble to match size and brightness), would come in at 70 GtTNT. In down to Earth terms, this could be all between smashing fireworks over some remote area of the globe and a 7.5 km crater downtown somewhere. Considering the deliberate and sedate ways of development of interplanetary missions it seems we can only stand and stare until we know well enough where to tell people to pack up all that can be moved at all and save themselves. But then, it could just as well be a smaller bright rock. The best estimate is 120 m diameter from optical observation alone, by 13\% standard albedo. NASA's upcoming DART mission to binary asteroid (65803) Didymos is designed to hit such a small target, its moonlet Dimorphos. The Deep Impact mission's impactor in 2005 successfully guided itself to the brightest spot on comet 9P/Tempel 1, a relatively small feature on the 6 km nucleus. And 'space' has changed: By the end of this decade, one satellite communication network plans to have launched over 11000 satellites at a pace of 60 per launch every other week. This level of series production is comparable in numbers to the most prolific commercial airliners. Launch vehicle production has not simply increased correspondingly - they can be reused, although in a trade for performance. Optical and radio astronomy as well as planetary radar have made great strides in the past decade, and so has the design and production capability for everyday 'high-tech' products. 60 years ago, spaceflight was invented from scratch within two years, and there are recent examples of fast-paced space projects as well as a drive towards 'responsive space'. It seems it is not quite yet time to abandon all hope. We present what could be done and what is too close to call once thinking is shoved out of the box by a clear and present danger, to show where a little more preparedness or routine would come in handy - or become decisive.

In particular, the topic presented is interwoven in an interdisciplinary way with economic psychological models, which are underpinned within the models with content from leading scholars in the field. The pace of change in companies is accelerating, as is technological change in our society. Adaptations of the corporate structure, but also of management techniques and tasks, are therefore indispensable. This includes not only the right approaches to employee motivation, but also the correct use of intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors. Based on the hypothesis put forward by the scientist and researcher Rollinson in his book "Organisational behaviour and analysis" that managers believe motivational resources are available at all times, socio-economic and economic psychological theories are contrasted here in order to critically examine this statement. In addition, a fictitious company was created as a model for this work in order to illustrate the effects of motivational deficits in practice. In this context, the theories presented are applied to concrete problems within the model and conclusions are drawn about their influence and applicability. This led to the conclusion that motivation is a very individual challenge for each employee, which requires adapted and personalised approaches. On the other hand, the recommendations for action for supervisors in the case of motivation deficits also cannot be answered in a blanket manner, but can only be solved with the help of professional, expert-supported processing due to the economic-psychological realities of motivation. Identifying, analysing and remedying individual employee motivation deficits is, according to the authors, a problem and a challenge of great importance, especially in the context of rapidly changing ecosystems in modern companies, as motivation also influences other factors such as individual productivity. The authors therefore conclude that good motivation through the individual and customised promotion and further training of employees is an important point for achieving important corporate goals in order to remain competitive on the one hand and to create a productive and pleasant working environment on the other.}, language = {en} } @article{HerssensCowburnAlbrachtetal.2022, author = {Herssens, Nolan and Cowburn, James and Albracht, Kirsten and Braunstein, Bjoern and Cazzola, Dario and Colyer, Steffi and Minetti, Alberto E. and Pavei, Gaspare and Rittweger, J{\"o}rn and Weber, Tobias and Green, David A.}, title = {Movement in low gravity environments (MoLo) programme - the MoLo-L.O.O.P. study protocol}, series = {PLOS ONE / Public Library of Science}, volume = {17}, journal = {PLOS ONE / Public Library of Science}, number = {11}, editor = {Cattaneo, Luigi}, publisher = {Plos}, address = {San Francisco}, issn = {1932-6203}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0278051}, pages = {e0278051}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Exposure to prolonged periods in microgravity is associated with deconditioning of the musculoskeletal system due to chronic changes in mechanical stimulation.

Such an approach could be mandatory for future combined PET and MRI scanners, which probably do not include a transmission facility. T1-weighted MR images were segmented into brain tissue, bone, soft tissue, and sinus; attenuation coefficients corresponding to elemental composition and density as well as to 511 keV photon energy were respectively assigned. Attenuation maps containing up to four compartments were created and forward projected into sinograms with attenuation factors which then were used for AC during reconstruction of FDG-PET data. The commonly used AC based on a radioactive (68Ge) transmission scan served as reference. The reconstructed radioactivity values obtained with the MRI-based AC were about 20\% lower than those obtained with PET-based AC if the skull was not taken into account. Considering the skull the difference was still about 10\%. Our investigations demonstrate the feasibility of a MRI-based AC, but revealed also the necessity of a satisfying delineation of bone thickness which tends to be underestimated in our first approach of T1-weighted MR image segmentation.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BuxbaumSchwarteRingbecketal.2002, author = {Buxbaum, Bernd and Schwarte, Rudolf and Ringbeck, Thorsten and Grothof, Markus and Luan, Xuming}, title = {MSM-PMD as correlation receiver in a new 3D-ranging system}, series = {Laser radar ranging and atmospheric lidar techniques III : 17 - 18 September 2001, Toulouse, France. - (SPIE proceedings series ; 4546)}, booktitle = {Laser radar ranging and atmospheric lidar techniques III : 17 - 18 September 2001, Toulouse, France. - (SPIE proceedings series ; 4546)}, editor = {Schreiber, Ulrich}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {0-8194-4271-2}, issn = {0038-7355}, doi = {10.1117/12.453994}, pages = {145 -- 154}, year = {2002}, language = {en} } @article{Mertens1998, author = {Mertens, Josef}, title = {Multi point design challenges for supersonic transports}, series = {Fluid dynamics research on supersonic aircraft : this report is a compilation of the edited proceedings of the special course on "Fluid dynamics research on supersonic aircraft" held at the Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI) in Rhode-Saint-Genese, Belgium, 25-29 May 1998}, journal = {Fluid dynamics research on supersonic aircraft : this report is a compilation of the edited proceedings of the special course on "Fluid dynamics research on supersonic aircraft" held at the Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics (VKI) in Rhode-Saint-Genese, Belgium, 25-29 May 1998}, publisher = {Research and Technology Organization}, address = {Neuilly-sur-Seine}, isbn = {92-837-1007-X}, pages = {8.1 -- 8.12}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KloeserKohlKraftetal.2021, author = {Kl{\"o}ser, Lars and Kohl, Philipp and Kraft, Bodo and Z{\"u}ndorf, Albert}, title = {Multi-attribute relation extraction (MARE): simplifying the application of relation extraction}, series = {Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Deep Learning Theory and Applications DeLTA - Volume 1}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Deep Learning Theory and Applications DeLTA - Volume 1}, publisher = {SciTePress}, address = {Set{\´u}bal}, isbn = {978-989-758-526-5}, doi = {10.5220/0010559201480156}, pages = {148 -- 156}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Natural language understanding's relation extraction makes innovative and encouraging novel business concepts possible and facilitates new digitilized decision-making processes.
