To design such state-of-the-art systems, the consideration of energy efficiency and the anticipation of component failures are mandatory. In this paper, we use Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming to compute an optimal placement of pipes and pumps, as well as an optimal control strategy.Moreover, we consider the resilience of the system to pump failures. A resilient system is able to fulfill a predefined minimum functionality even though components fail or are restricted in their normal usage. We present models to measure and optimize the resilience. To demonstrate our approach, we design and analyze an optimal resilient decentralized water supply system inspired by a real-life hotel building.}, language = {en} } @book{Altherr2016, author = {Altherr, Lena}, title = {Algorithmic System Design under Consideration of Dynamic Processes}, publisher = {Shaker}, address = {Aachen}, isbn = {978-3-8440-4848-3}, pages = {94}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Nach Stand von Wissenschaft und Technik werden Komponenten hinsichtlich ihrer Eigenschaften, wie Lebensdauer oder Energieeffizienz, optimiert.

Eine Systembetrachtung schafft ein gr{\"o}ßeres Optimierungspotential - dem erh{\"o}hten Potential steht jedoch auch ein erh{\"o}hter Komplexit{\"a}tsgrad gegen{\"u}ber. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist im Rahmen des Sonderforschungsbereichs 805 entstanden, dessen Ziel die Beherrschung von Unsicherheit in Systemen des Maschinenbaus ist. Die Arbeit zeigt anhand eines realen Systems aus dem Bereich der Hydraulik, wie Unsicherheit in der Entwicklungsphase beherrscht werden kann. Hierbei ist neu, dass die durch den sp{\"a}teren Betrieb zu erwartende Systemdegradation eines jeden m{\"o}glichen Systemvorschlags antizipiert werden kann. Dadurch k{\"o}nnen Betriebs- und Wartungskosten vorausgesagt und minimiert werden und durch eine optimale Betriebs- und Wartungsstrategie die Verf{\"u}gbarkeit des Systems garantiert werden. Wesentliche Fragen bei der optimalen Auslegung des betrachteten hydrostatischen Getriebes sind dessen physikalische Modellierung, die Darstellung des Optimierungsproblems als gemischt-ganzzahliges lineares Programm, und dessen algorithmische Behandlung zur L{\"o}sungsfindung.

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.

Architectural remodeling of the gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle is typically observed in the affected leg and may compensate force deficits caused by a longer tendon. Yet patients seem to retain functional limitations during—low-force—walking gait. To explore the potential limits imposed by the remodeled GM muscle-tendon unit (MTU) on walking gait, we examined the contractile behavior of muscle fascicles during the stance phase. In a cross-sectional design, we studied nine former patients (males; age: 45 ± 9 years; height: 180 ± 7 cm; weight: 83 ± 6 kg) with a history of complete unilateral ATR, approximately 4 years post-surgery. Using ultrasonography, GM tendon morphology, muscle architecture at rest, and fascicular behavior were assessed during walking at 1.5 m⋅s-1 on a treadmill. Walking patterns were recorded with a motion capture system. The unaffected leg served as control. Lower limbs kinematics were largely similar between legs during walking. Typical features of ATR-related MTU remodeling were observed during the stance sub-phases corresponding to series elastic element (SEE) lengthening (energy storage) and SEE shortening (energy release), with shorter GM fascicles (36 and 36\%, respectively) and greater pennation angles (8° and 12°, respectively). However, relative to the optimal fascicle length for force production, fascicles operated at comparable length in both legs. Similarly, when expressed relative to optimal fascicle length, fascicle contraction velocity was not different between sides, except at the time-point of peak series elastic element (SEE) length, where it was 39 ± 49\% lower in the affected leg. Concomitantly, fascicles rotation during contraction was greater in the affected leg during the whole stance-phase, and architectural gear ratios (AGR) was larger during SEE lengthening. Under the present testing conditions, former ATR patients had recovered a relatively symmetrical walking gait pattern. Differences in seen AGR seem to accommodate the profound changes in MTU architecture, limiting the required fascicle shortening velocity. Overall, the contractile behavior of the GM fascicles does not restrict length- or velocity-dependent force potentials during this locomotor task.}, language = {en} } @article{KotliarHauserOrtneretal.2017, author = {Kotliar, Konstantin and Hauser, Christine and Ortner, Marion and Muggenthaler, Claudia and Diehl-Schmid, Janine and Angermann, Susanne and Hapfelmeier, Alexander and Schmaderer, Christoph and Grimmer, Timo}, title = {Altered neurovascular coupling as measured by optical imaging: a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease}, series = {Scientific Reports}, volume = {7}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, issn = {2045-2322}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-017-13349-5}, pages = {1 -- 11}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{KotliarOrtnerConradietal.2022, author = {Kotliar, Konstantin and Ortner, Marion and Conradi, Anna and Hacker, Patricia and Hauser, Christine and G{\"u}nthner, Roman and Moser, Michaela and Muggenthaler, Claudia and Diehl-Schmid, Janine and Priller, Josef and Schmaderer, Christoph and Grimmer, Timo}, title = {Altered retinal cerebral vessel oscillation frequencies in Alzheimer's disease compatible with impaired amyloid clearance}, series = {Neurobiology of Aging}, volume = {120}, journal = {Neurobiology of Aging}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0197-4580}, doi = {10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2022.08.012}, pages = {117 -- 127}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Retinal vessels are similar to cerebral vessels in their structure and function.

Seventeen patients with mild-to-moderate dementia due to AD (ADD); 23 patients with MCI due to AD, and 18 cognitively healthy controls (HC) were examined using Dynamic Retinal Vessel Analyzer. Oscillatory temporal changes of retinal vessel diameters were evaluated using mathematical signal analysis. Especially at moderately low frequencies around 0.1 Hz, arterial oscillations in ADD and MCI significantly prevailed over HC oscillations and correlated with disease severity. The pronounced retinal arterial vasomotion at moderately low frequencies in the ADD and MCI groups would be compatible with the view of a compensatory upregulation of paravascular drainage in AD and strengthen the amyloid clearance hypothesis.}, language = {en} } @article{LopesLeandroCarvalhoetal.2017, author = {Lopes, Pedro and Leandro, Jorge and Carvalho, Rita F. and Bung, Daniel B.}, title = {Alternating skimming flow over a stepped spillway}, series = {Environmental Fluid Mechanics}, volume = {17}, journal = {Environmental Fluid Mechanics}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1573-1510}, doi = {10.1007/s10652-016-9484-x}, pages = {303 -- 322}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @incollection{WolffSeefeldtBaueretal.2014, author = {Wolff, Nino and Seefeldt, Patric and Bauer, Wolfgang and Fiebig, Christopher and Gerding, Patrick and Parow-Souchon, Kai and Pongs, Anna and Reiffenrath, Matti and Ziemann, Thomas}, title = {Alternative application of solar sail technology}, series = {Advances in solar sailing}, booktitle = {Advances in solar sailing}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-642-34906-5 (Print) ; 978-3-642-34907-2 (E-Book)}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-34907-2_23}, pages = {351 -- 365}, year = {2014}, abstract = {The development of Gossamer sail structures for solar sails contributes to a large field of future space applications like thin film solar generators, membrane antennas and drag sails.
