Besides magnetization, the most important parameter that determines their performance for these applications is their magnetic relaxation, which can be affected when MNPs immobilize and agglomerate inside tissues. In this letter, we investigate different MNP agglomeration states for their magnetic relaxation properties under excitation in alternating fields and relate this to their heating efficiency and imaging properties. With focus on magnetic fluid hyperthermia, two different trends in MNP heating efficiency are measured: an increase by up to 23\% for agglomerated MNP in suspension and a decrease by up to 28\% for mixed states of agglomerated and immobilized MNP, which indicates that immobilization is the dominant effect. The same comparatively moderate effects are obtained for the signal amplitude in magnetic particle spectroscopy.}, language = {en} } @book{FissabreMatcha2018, author = {Fissabre, Anke and Matcha, Heike}, title = {KreuzPlus : zwei Kreuze und zwei M{\"o}bel f{\"u}r die Kreuzkirche in Heinsberg}, publisher = {Fachbereich Architektur, FH Aachen, University of Applied Science}, address = {Aachen}, isbn = {978-3-9820371-0-3}, pages = {50 Seiten}, year = {2018}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{BosseDeClercqBarnat2018, author = {Bosse, Elke and De Clercq, Mikael and Barnat, Miriam}, title = {The Role of Diversity for the Transition to Higher Education}, series = {EARLI SIG 4, Giessen}, booktitle = {EARLI SIG 4, Giessen}, pages = {13 Folien}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{KoenigWolf2018, author = {K{\"o}nig, Johannes Alexander and Wolf, Martin}, title = {GHOST: An Evaluated Competence Developing Game for Cybersecurity Awareness Training}, series = {International Journal on Advances in Security}, volume = {11}, journal = {International Journal on Advances in Security}, number = {3 \& 4}, publisher = {IARIA Journals}, issn = {1942-2636}, pages = {274 -- 287}, year = {2018}, abstract = {To train end users how to interact with digital systems is indispensable to ensure a strong computer security.

Accordingly, requirements for an 'Competence Developing Game' based training are discussed. Based on these requirements it is shown how a game can fulfill these requirements. A supplementary game interaction design and a corresponding evaluation study is shown. The combination of training requirements and interaction design is used to create a 'Competence Developing Game'-based training concept. A part of these concept is implemented into a playable prototype that serves around one hour of play respectively training time. This prototype is used to perform an evaluation of the game and training aspects of the awareness training.

It owes its popularity to its computational efficiency, rather than its ability to represent specific polymer species and conditions. Here we investigate how to adapt the model to match the universal properties of a wide range of chemical polymers species. For this purpose we vary a single parameter originally introduced by Faller and M{\"u}ller-Plathe, the chain stiffness. Examples include polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, cis-polyisoprene, polydimethylsiloxane, polyethyleneoxide and styrene-butadiene rubber. We do this by matching the number of Kuhn segments per chain and the number of Kuhn segments per cubic Kuhn volume for the polymer species and for the Kremer-Grest model. We also derive mapping relations for converting KG model units back to physical units, in particular we obtain the entanglement time for the KG model as function of stiffness allowing for a time mapping. To test these relations, we generate large equilibrated well entangled polymer melts, and measure the entanglement moduli using a static primitive-path analysis of the entangled melt structure as well as by simulations of step-strain deformation of the model melts. The obtained moduli for our model polymer melts are in good agreement with the experimentally expected moduli.}, language = {en} } @article{RauschFriesenAltherretal.2018, author = {Rausch, Lea and Friesen, John and Altherr, Lena and Meck, Marvin and Pelz, Peter F.}, title = {A holistic concept to design optimal water supply infrastructures for informal settlements using remote sensing data}, series = {Remote Sensing}, volume = {10}, journal = {Remote Sensing}, number = {2}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, isbn = {2072-4292}, doi = {10.3390/rs10020216}, pages = {1 -- 23}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Ensuring access to water and sanitation for all is Goal No. 6 of the 17 UN Sustainability Development Goals to transform our world.

We apply methods of mathematical optimization aiming to find a network describing the optimal supply infrastructure. Hereby, we choose between different decentral and central approaches combining supply by motorized vehicles with supply by pipe systems. For the purposes of illustration, we apply the approach to two small slum clusters in Dhaka and Dar es Salaam. We show our optimization results, which represent the lowest cost water supply systems possible. Additionally, we compare the optimal solutions of the two clusters (also for varying input parameters, such as population densities and slum size development over time) and describe how the result of the optimization depends on the entered remote sensing data.}, language = {en} } @article{AltherrEdererPfetschetal.2018, author = {Altherr, Lena and Ederer, Thorsten and Pfetsch, Marc E. and Pelz, Peter F.}, title = {Maschinelles Design eines optimalen Getriebes}, series = {ATZ - Automobiltechnische Zeitschrift}, volume = {120}, journal = {ATZ - Automobiltechnische Zeitschrift}, number = {10}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {2192-8800}, doi = {10.1007/s35148-018-0131-3}, pages = {72 -- 77}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Nahezu 100.000 denkbare Strukturen kann ein Getriebe bei gleicher Funktion aufweisen - je nach Ganganzahl und gefordertem Freiheitsgrad.

In this work, we deal with this uncertainty by developing a chance-constrained two-stage (CCTS) stochastic program. The design and operation of a booster station working under uncertain load demand are optimized to minimize total cost including purchase price, operation cost incurred by energy consumption and penalty cost resulting from water shortage.
