As a consequence, the use of wild-type animal models to predict the role of human CYP2C enzymes in drug metabolism and drug-drug interactions is limited. Within the human CYP2C cluster CYP2C9 is of particular importance, because it is one of the most abundant P450 enzymes in human liver, and it is involved in the metabolism of a wide variety of important drugs and environmental chemicals. To investigate the in vivo functions of cytochrome P450 Cyp2c genes and to establish a model for studying the functions of CYP2C9 in vivo, we have generated a mouse model with a deletion of the murine Cyp2c gene cluster and a corresponding humanized model expressing CYP2C9 specifically in the liver. Despite the high number of functional genes in the mouse Cyp2c cluster and the reported roles of some of these proteins in different biological processes, mice deleted for Cyp2c genes were viable and fertile but showed certain phenotypic alterations in the liver. The expression of CYP2C9 in the liver also resulted in viable animals active in the metabolism and disposition of a number of CYP2C9 substrates. These mouse lines provide a powerful tool for studying the role of Cyp2c genes and of CYP2C9 in particular in drug disposition and as a factor in drug-drug interaction.}, language = {en} } @misc{NoetzoldBragardFinketal.2014, author = {N{\"o}tzold, K. and Bragard, Michael and Fink, K. and Griessel, R. and Wegener, R.}, title = {Cascaded H-bridge converter with transformer based cell power balancing in each voltage level : [Patentschrift]}, publisher = {Europ{\"a}isches Patentamt / United States Patent and Trademark Office [u.a.]}, address = {Den Haag / Alexandria, VA}, pages = {16 S. : graph.

To understand how chronic drought affects tree growth and tree-ring δ13C values, we studied mature Scots pine in an irrigation experiment in an inner-Alpine valley. Tree growth and isotope analyses were carried out at the annual and seasonal scale. At the seasonal scale, maximum δ13C values were measured after the hottest and driest period of the year, and were associated with decreasing growth rates. Inter-annual δ13C values in early- and latewood showed a strong correlation with annual climatic conditions and an immediate decrease as a response to irrigation. This indicates a tight coupling between wood formation and the freshly produced assimilates for trees exposed to chronic drought. This rapid appearance of the isotopic signal is a strong indication for an immediate and direct transfer of newly synthesized assimilates for biomass production. The fast appearance and the distinct isotopic signal suggest a low availability of old stored carbohydrates. If this was a sign for C-storage depletion, an increasing mortality could be expected when stressors increase the need for carbohydrate for defence, repair or regeneration.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{XuSchwarteHeinoletal.1998, author = {Xu, Zhanping and Schwarte, Rudolf and Heinol, Horst-Guenther and Buxbaum, Bernd and Ringbeck, Thorsten}, title = {Smart pixel : photonic mixer device (PMD) ; new system concept of a 3D-imaging camera-on-a-chip}, series = {Proceedings : M2VIP '98; Nanjing, China, 10th - 12th September 1998}, booktitle = {Proceedings : M2VIP '98; Nanjing, China, 10th - 12th September 1998}, editor = {Cheung, Edmund H.

Insights into plant adjustments to changing environmental conditions have mainly been obtained through structural and functional comparative studies between taxa or within taxa on contrasting sites or along environmental gradients. Yet, a gap exists regarding the study of hydraulic adjustments in response to environmental changes over the lifetimes of plants. In trees, dated tree-ring series are often exploited to reconstruct dynamics in ecological conditions, and recent work in which wood-anatomical variables have been used in dendrochronology has produced promising results. Environmental signals identified in water-conducting cells carry novel information reflecting changes in regional conditions and are mostly related to short, sub-annual intervals. Although the idea of investigating environmental signals through wood anatomical time series goes back to the 1960s, it is only recently that low-cost computerized image-analysis systems have enabled increased scientific output in this field. We believe that the study of tree-ring anatomy is emerging as a promising approach in tree biology and climate change research, particularly if complemented by physiological and ecological studies.

Besides drought, infection with pine mistletoe (Viscum album ssp. austriacum) seems to play an important role in the mortality dynamics of Scots pines, but how mistletoes promote pine decline remains unclear. To verify whether pine mistletoe infection weakens the host via crown degradation, as observed for dwarf mistletoes, we studied the negative effects of pine mistletoe infestation on the photosynthetic tissues and branch growth of pairs of infested and non-infested branches. Pine mistletoe infection leads to crown degradation in its host by reducing the length, the radial increment, the ramification, the needle length and the number of needle years of the infested branches. This massive loss in photosynthetic tissue results in a reduction in primary production and a subsequent decrease in carbohydrate availability. The significant reduction in needle length due to mistletoe infection is an indication for a lower water and nutrient availability in infested branches. Thus, mistletoe infection might lead to a decrease in the availability of water and carbohydrates, the two most important growth factors, which are already shortened due to the chronic drought situation in the area. Therefore, pine mistletoe increases the risk of drought-induced mortality of its host when growing in a xeric environment.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HessLuanSchwarteetal.2001, author = {Hess, Holger and Luan, Xuming and Schwarte, Rudolf and Zhang, Zhigang and Xu, Zhanping and Heinol, Horst-Guenther and Buxbaum, Bernd and Ringbeck, Thorsten}, title = {Three-dimensional intelligent sensing based on the PMD technology}, series = {Sensors, Systems, and Next-Generation Satellites V : 17 - 20 September 2001, Toulouse, France. - (SPIE proceedings series ; 4540)}, booktitle = {Sensors, Systems, and Next-Generation Satellites V : 17 - 20 September 2001, Toulouse, France. - (SPIE proceedings series ; 4540)}, editor = {Fujisada, Hiroyuki}, publisher = {SPIE}, address = {Bellingham, Wash.}, isbn = {0-8194-4265-8}, issn = {0038-7355}, pages = {482 -- 488}, year = {2001}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DammRitzStrauch2011, author = {Damm, Sebastian and Ritz, Thomas and Strauch, Jakob}, title = {Adaption of archetype patterns for mobile cloud-based business apps}, series = {2011 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications workshops (PerCom workshops 2011) : Seattle, Washington, USA, 21 - 25 March 2011}, booktitle = {2011 IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications workshops (PerCom workshops 2011) : Seattle, Washington, USA, 21 - 25 March 2011}, publisher = {IEEE Service Center}, address = {Piscataway, NJ}, isbn = {978-1-61284-938-6 (Print)}, doi = {10.1109/PERCOMW.2011.5766849}, pages = {100 -- 105}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Wahle1983, author = {Wahle, Michael}, title = {Determination of flow induced nonlinear vibrations of prestressed heat exchanger tubes}, series = {Advanced Course in Heat Exchangers : Theory and Practice ; ICHMT Symposium ; Dubrovnik, Croatia 1981. - (ICHMT digital library online ; 19)}, booktitle = {Advanced Course in Heat Exchangers : Theory and Practice ; ICHMT Symposium ; Dubrovnik, Croatia 1981. - (ICHMT digital library online ; 19)}, publisher = {Begell House}, address = {Redding, Connecticut}, pages = {339 -- 353}, year = {1983}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NoetzoldUphuesWegeneretal.2012, author = {N{\"o}tzold, K. and Uphues, A. and Wegener, R. and Soter, S. and Fink, K. and Bragard, Michael and Griessel, R.}, title = {Inverter based test setup for LVRT verification of a full-scale 2 MW wind power converter}, series = {EPE Joint Wind Energy and T\&D Chapters Seminar : 28th and 29th of June 2012, in the Utzon Centre, Aalborg, Denmark ; papers, posters, presentations. - Session 2: Grid connection, compliance}, booktitle = {EPE Joint Wind Energy and T\&D Chapters Seminar : 28th and 29th of June 2012, in the Utzon Centre, Aalborg, Denmark ; papers, posters, presentations. - Session 2: Grid connection, compliance}, publisher = {EPE Association}, address = {Brussels}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @article{EilmannWeberRiglingetal.2006, author = {Eilmann, Britta and Weber, Pascale and Rigling, Andreas and Eckstein, Dieter}, title = {Growth reactions of Pinus sylvestris L. and Quercus pubescens Willd. to drought years at a xeric site in Valais, Switzerland}, series = {Dendrochronologia}, volume = {23}, journal = {Dendrochronologia}, number = {3}, issn = {1612-0051 (Online)}, doi = {doi:10.1016/j.dendro.2005.10.002}, pages = {121 -- 132}, year = {2006}, language = {en} } @misc{FrauenrathdeGeyerd'OrthNiendorf2011, author = {Frauenrath, Tobias and de Geyer d'Orth, Thibaut and Niendorf, Thoralf}, title = {Assessment of Accuracy \& Reproducibility of ECG, Pulse Oximetry \& Phonocardiogram Gating of Cardiac MRI at 7T}, series = {2011 ISMRM Annual Meeting Proceedings}, journal = {2011 ISMRM Annual Meeting Proceedings}, issn = {1545-4428}, year = {2011}, abstract = {At (ultra)high magnetic fields the artifact sensitivity of ECG recordings increases.

However, ECG is corrupted by magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) effects in magnetic fields. This leads to artifacts in the ECG trace and evokes severe T-wave elevations, which might be misinterpreted as R-waves resulting in erroneous triggering. At (ultra)high field strengths, the propensity of ECG recordings to MHD effects is further pronounced. Pulse oximetry (POX) being inherently sensitive to blood oxygenation provides an alternative approach for cardiac gating. However, due to the travel time of the blood the peak of maximum oxygenation and hence the trigger is delayed by approx. 300 ms with respect to the ECG's R-wave. Also the peak of maximum oxygenation shows a jitter of up to 65 ms. Alternative triggering approaches include acoustic cardiac triggering (ACT). In current clinical practice cardiac gating / triggering commonly relies on using single physiological signals only. Realizing this limitation this study proposes a combined triggering approach which exploits multiple physiological signals including ECG, POX or ACT to track cardiac activity. The feasibility of the coupled approach is examined for LV function assessment at 7.0 T. For this purpose, breath-held 2D-CINE imaging in conjunction with cardiac synchronization was performed paralleled by real time logging of physiological waveforms to track (mis)synchronization between the cardiac cycle and data acquisition.

With this technique effects were analysed of 60-Co γ-rays, cyclotron neutrons (E = 6 MeV), misonidazole (500 mg/kg body wt) and hyperthermia (42°C water-bath), or combinations of these. Misonidazole (15 min before irradiation) altered the oxygen enhancement ratio by a factor of 1·5 for γ-rays and of 1·1 for neutrons; when evaluated from tumour-growth delay and TCD-50 misonidazole gave a dose modifying factor of 1·47 for γ-rays and of 1·2-1·3 for neutrons. Based on percentage tumour regression 100 days after treatment, the enhancement ratio from hyperthermia (after irradiation) was 2·75 for γ-rays (at 10 Gray) and 2·2 for neutrons (at 3·2 Gray). For neutrons combined with misonidazole and hyperthermia the ratio was 2·4. These results demonstrate that effects of neutron irradiation may be modified by electron-affinic substances and/or hyperthermia.}, language = {en} } @article{DanhoNaithaniSasakietal.1980, author = {Danho, Waleed and Naithani, Vinod K. and Sasaki, Andr{\´e} N. and F{\"o}hles, Joseph and Berndt, Heinz and B{\"u}llesbach, Erika E. and Zahn, H.}, title = {Human proinsulin, VII : synthesis of two protected peptides corresponding to the sequences 1—45 and 46—86 of the prohormone}, series = {Hoppe-Seyler's Zeitschrift f{\"u}r physiologische Chemie}, volume = {361}, journal = {Hoppe-Seyler's Zeitschrift f{\"u}r physiologische Chemie}, number = {1}, issn = {1437-4315}, doi = {10.1515/bchm2.1980.361.1.857}, pages = {857 -- 863}, year = {1980}, language = {en} } @article{KalbeKuropkaMeyerStorketal.1988, author = {Kalbe, Jochen and Kuropka, Rolf and Meyer-Stork, L.

Retinal vessels as an embryological part of the intracranial vasculature are easily accessible for analysis and may hold the key to a new and non-invasive monitoring technique. This investigation aims to determine the feasibility of standardized retinal vessel analysis (RVA) in the context of SAH. Methods In a prospective pilot study, we performed RVA in six patients awake and cooperative with SAH in the acute phase (day 2-14) and eight patients at the time of follow-up (mean 4.6±1.7months after SAH), and included 33 age-matched healthy controls. Data was acquired using a manoeuvrable Dynamic Vessel Analyzer (Imedos Systems UG, Jena) for examination of retinal vessel dimension and neurovascular coupling. Results Image quality was satisfactory in the majority of cases (93.3\%). In the acute phase after SAH, retinal arteries were significantly dilated when compared to the control group (124.2±4.3MU vs 110.9±11.4MU, p<0.01), a difference that persisted to a lesser extent in the later stage of the disease (122.7±17.2MU, p<0.05). Testing for neurovascular coupling showed a trend towards impaired primary vasodilation and secondary vasoconstriction (p = 0.08, p = 0.09 resp.) initially and partial recovery at the time of follow-up, indicating a relative improvement in a time-dependent fashion. Conclusion RVA is technically feasible in patients with SAH and can detect fluctuations in vessel diameter and autoregulation even in less severely affected patients. Preliminary data suggests potential for RVA as a new and non-invasive tool for advanced SAH monitoring, but clinical relevance and prognostic value will have to be determined in a larger cohort.}, language = {en} } @article{WindmuellerSchapsZantisetal.2024, author = {Windm{\"u}ller, Anna and Schaps, Kristian and Zantis, Frederik and Domgans, Anna and Taklu, Bereket Woldegbreal and Yang, Tingting and Tsai, Chih-Long and Schierholz, Roland and Yu, Shicheng and Kungl, Hans and Tempel, Hermann and Dunin-Borkowski, Rafal E. and H{\"u}ning, Felix and Hwang, Bing Joe and Eichel, R{\"u}diger-A.}, title = {Electrochemical activation of LiGaO2: implications for ga-doped garnet solid electrolytes in li-metal batteries}, series = {ACS Applied Materials \& Interfaces}, volume = {16}, journal = {ACS Applied Materials \& Interfaces}, number = {30}, publisher = {ACS Publications}, address = {Washington, DC}, issn = {39181-3919}, doi = {10.1021/acsami.4c03729}, pages = {14 Seiten}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Ga-doped Li7La3Zr2O12 garnet solid electrolytes exhibit the highest Li-ion conductivities among the oxide-type garnet-structured solid electrolytes, but instabilities toward Li metal hamper their practical application.

Yet, the understanding of the role of LiGaO2 in the electrochemical cell and its electrochemical properties is still lacking. Here, we are investigating the electrochemical properties of LiGaO2 through electrochemical tests in galvanostatic cells versus Li metal and complementary ex situ studies via confocal Raman microscopy, quantitative phase analysis based on powder X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electron energy loss spectroscopy. The results demonstrate considerable and surprising electrochemical activity, with high reversibility. A three-stage reaction mechanism is derived, including reversible electrochemical reactions that lead to the formation of highly electronically conducting products.

This article uses 316L stainless steel samples to investigate whether and to what extent the thermal conductivity of specimens can be influenced by different LPBF parameters. To this end, samples are set up using different parameters, orientations, and powder conditions and measured by a heat flow meter using stationary analysis. The heat flow meter set-up used in this study achieves good reproducibility and high measurement accuracy, so that comparative measurements between the various LPBF influencing factors to be tested are possible. In summary, the series of measurements show that the residual porosity of the components has the greatest influence on conductivity.

Changes in the IDEs' capacitance values (active sensor element versus passive sensor element) under H₂O₂ vapor/aerosol atmosphere proved the detection in the concentration range up to 630 ppm with a fast response time (<60 s). The influence of relative humidity was also tested with regard to the sensor signal, showing no cross-sensitivity. The repeatability assessment of the IDE biosensors confirmed their stable capacitive signal in eight subsequent cycles of exposure to H₂O₂ vapor/aerosol. Room-temperature detection of H₂O₂ vapor/aerosol with such miniaturized biosensors will allow a future three-dimensional, flexible mapping of aseptic chambers and help to evaluate sterilization assurance in medical industry.}, language = {en} } @article{BaumannTillmannAletsee1989, author = {Baumann, Marcus and Tillmann, Urban and Aletsee, Ludwig}, title = {Distribution of Carbon Among Photosynthetic End Products in the Bloom-Forming Arctic Diatom Thalassiosira antarctica COMBER / Tillmann, U. ; Baumann, M.E.M. ; Aletsee, L.}, series = {Polar Biology. 10 (1989), H. 3}, journal = {Polar Biology. 10 (1989), H. 3}, isbn = {0722-4060}, pages = {231 -- 238}, year = {1989}, language = {en} } @article{BialonskiAllefeldWellmeretal.2008, author = {Bialonski, Stephan and Allefeld, Carsten and Wellmer, J{\"o}rg and Elger, Christian E. and Lehnertz, Klaus}, title = {An approach to identify synchronization clusters within the epileptic network}, series = {Klinische Neurophysiologie}, volume = {39}, journal = {Klinische Neurophysiologie}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1055/s-2008-1072881}, pages = {A79}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlKaidyUlberTippkoetter2014, author = {Al-Kaidy, Huschyar and Ulber, Roland and Tippk{\"o}tter, Nils}, title = {A platform technology for the automated reaction control in magnetizable micro-fluidic droplets}, series = {Biomaterials - made in bioreactors : book of abstracts, May 26 - 28, 2014, Radisson Blu Park Hotel and Conference Dentre, Radebeul, Germany}, booktitle = {Biomaterials - made in bioreactors : book of abstracts, May 26 - 28, 2014, Radisson Blu Park Hotel and Conference Dentre, Radebeul, Germany}, publisher = {DECHEMA}, address = {Frankfurt am Main}, pages = {21 -- 22}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BurgazziFioriniDeMagistrisetal.1998, author = {Burgazzi, Luciano and Fiorini, Gian Luigi and De Magistris, F. and Lensa, Werner von and Staat, Manfred and Atles, J.}, title = {Reliability Assessment of Passive Safety Systems}, series = {Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering : ICONE : May 10 - 14, 1998, San Diego, Calif.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering : ICONE : May 10 - 14, 1998, San Diego, Calif.}, publisher = {American Society of Mechanical Engineers}, address = {New York}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @article{GrinsvenVandenBonGrietenetal.2011, author = {Grinsven, Bart van and Vanden Bon, Natalie and Grieten, Lars and Murib, Mohammed Sharif and Janssen, Stoffel Dominique and Haenen, Ken and Schneider, E. and Ingebrandt, Sven and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef and Vermeeren, Veronique and Ameloot, Marcel and Michiels, Luc and Thoelen, Ronald and De Ceuninck, Ward A. and Wagner, Patrick}, title = {Rapid assessment of the stability of DNA duplexes by impedimetric real-time monitoring of chemically induced denaturation}, series = {Lab on a Chip}, volume = {11}, journal = {Lab on a Chip}, number = {9}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)}, address = {Cambridge}, isbn = {1473-0197}, pages = {1656 -- 1663}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{MuribGrinsvenGrietenetal.2013, author = {Murib, M.

The presence of the APTES-SA layer on sapphire powders was confirmed by thermogravimetric analyis and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Using planar sapphire chips as substrates and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) as surface-sensitive tool, the sequence of individual layers was analyzed with respect to their chemical state, enabling the quantification of areal densities of the involved molecular units. Fluorescence microscopy was used to demonstrate the hybridization of fluorescently tagged target DNA to the probe DNA, including denaturation- and re-hybridization experiments. Due to its high thermal conductivity, synthetic sapphire is especially suitable as a chip material for the heat-transfer method, which was employed to distinguish complementary- and non-complementary DNA duplexes containing single-nucleotide polymorphisms.

The proposed concept makes it easy to incorporate different market designs into electricity market models by using relevant parameters derived from analyzing existing simulation tools, morphological categorization and ontologies. These parameters are then used to derive a market abstraction and integrate it into an agent-based simulation framework, allowing for a unified analysis of diverse market designs. Furthermore, we showcase the usability of integrating new types of long-term contracts and over-the-counter trading.

As the Human Development Index provides insight into a country's cultural and socio-economic characteristics and development in addition to economic indicators, it allows a comparison of the two countries. The hypothesis presented and discussed in this paper was researched before. A qualitative research approach was used in the author's master's thesis "The Human Development Index (HDI) as a Reflection of Resource Abundance (using Nigeria and Norway as a case study)" in 2018. The management of scarce resources is an important aspect in the development of modern countries and those on the threshold of becoming industrialised nations. The effects of a mistaken resource management are not only of a purely economic nature but also of a social and socio-economic nature. In order to present a partial aspect of these dependencies and influences this paper uses a quantitative analysis to examine the interdependence and impact of resource rents on socio-economic development from 2002 to 2017.

It will evaluate the hypothesis by which Corporate Sustainability thrives, via being efficient, increasing the performance, and raising the value of the input of the enterprises to the resources used. In fact, Corporate Sustainability on the surface could seem to contradict the idea, which supports the understanding that it encourages the reduction of the heavy reliance on the use of natural resources, the overall environmental impact, and above all, their protection. To understand how the contradictory notion of CS came about, in this part of the paper, the emphasis is placed on providing useful insight to this regard. The first part of this paper summarizes various definitions, organizational theories, and measures used for CS and its derivatives like green controlling, IT, and manufacturing. Second, a case study is given that combines the aforementioned sustainability models. In addition to evaluating the hypothesis, the overarching objective of this paper is to demonstrate the use of green controlling, IT, and manufacturing in the corporate sector.

We included peer-reviewed English publications introducing or comparing active learning strategies for entity recognition. Results: We analyzed 62 relevant papers and identified 106 active learning strategies. We grouped them into three categories: exploitation-based (60x), exploration-based (14x), and hybrid strategies (32x). We found that all studies used the F1-score as an evaluation metric. Information about hardware (6x) and execution time (13x) was only occasionally included. The 62 papers used 57 different datasets to evaluate their respective strategies. Most datasets contained newspaper articles or biomedical/medical data. Our analysis revealed that 26 out of 57 datasets are publicly accessible.

Highly dense samples (99.8\% density) were achieved after varying hatch distance (80 µm and 140 µm) with scanning speed (550 mm/s-1500 mm/s). There was no significant difference in microhardness between varied hatch distance print sets. Microhardness of the as-built condition (247 HV0.2) exceeded the as-cast microhardness (179 HV0.2.). Tensile specimens built in vertical (V) and horizontal (H) orientations revealed degrees of anisotropy and were superior to conventionally reported figures.

However, the representation object cannot always reflect these layers. Therefore, it is claimed that these reflections and layerings can gain visibility through 'performativity in personal knowledge', which basically has a performative character. The specific layers of representation produced during the performativity in personal knowledge permit insights about the 'personal way of designing' [1]. Therefore, the question, 'how can these layered drawings be decomposed to understand the personal way of designing', can be defined as the beginning of the study. On the other hand, performativity in personal knowledge in architectural design is handled through the relationship between explicit and tacit knowledge and representational and non-representational theory. To discuss the practical dimension of these theoretical relations, Zvi Hecker's drawing of the Heinz-Galinski-School is examined as an example. The study aims to understand the relationships between the layers by decomposing a layered drawing analytically in order to exemplify personal ways of designing. Methods: The study is based on qualitative research methodologies. First, a model has been formed through theoretical readings to discuss the performativity in personal knowledge. This model is used to understand the layered representations and to research the personal way of designing. Thus, one drawing of Hecker's Heinz-Galinski-School project is chosen. Second, its layers are decomposed to detect and analyze diverse objects, which hint to different types of design tools and their application. Third, Zvi Hecker's statements of the design process are explained through the interview data [2] and other sources. The obtained data are compared with each other. Results: By decomposing the drawing, eleven layers are defined. These layers are used to understand the relation between the design idea and its representation. They can also be thought of as a reading system. In other words, a method to discuss Hecker's performativity in personal knowledge is developed. Furthermore, the layers and their interconnections are described in relation to Zvi Hecker's personal way of designing. Conclusions: It can be said that layered representations, which are associated with the multilayered structure of performativity in personal knowledge, form the personal way of designing.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StapenhorstGessnerWoerd2017, author = {Stapenhorst, Carolin and Geßner, Stephan and Woerd, Jan Dirk van der}, title = {ArchitecTours - a close look on structures around us}, series = {Proceedings of IASS Annual Symposia}, booktitle = {Proceedings of IASS Annual Symposia}, editor = {B{\"o}gle, Annette and Grohmann, Manfred}, publisher = {IASS}, address = {Madrid}, issn = {2518-6582}, pages = {9 Seiten}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Architects and civil engineers work together regularly during their professional days and are irreplaceable for each other.

This diversity of assessment criteria and approaches is often continued in both academic disciplines in the view on structures. Within the framework of the Exploratory Teaching Space (ETS), a funding program to improve teaching at RWTH Aachen University and to promote new teaching concepts, a project was carried out jointly by the Junior Professorship of Tool-Culture at the Faculty of Architecture and the Institute of Structural Concrete at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. The aim of the project is to present buildings in such a way that the differences in perception between architects and civil engineers are reduced and the common understanding is promoted. The project develops a database, which contains a collection of striking buildings from Aachen and the surrounding area. The buildings are categorized according to terms that come from both disciplinary areas. The collection can be freely explored or crossed through learning trails. The medium of film plays a special role in presenting the buildings. The buildings are assigned to different categories of load bearing structures as linear, planar and spatial structures, and further to different types of material, functional programs and spatial characteristics. Since the buildings are located in the direct vicinity of Aachen, they can be visited by the students. This makes them more sensitive to their environment.

We further argue that the heterogeneity and structure of the top management team moderates the impact of CEO career variety on firms' relative exploration orientation. Based on multisource secondary data for 318 S\&P 500 firms from 2005 to 2015, we find that CEO career variety is positively associated with relative exploration orientation.

Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari deplore the inflationary and trivialised use of the term concept: "Finally, the most shameful moment came when computer science, marketing, design and advertising, all the disciplines of communication, seized hold of the word concept itself and said: 'This is our concern, we are the creative ones, we are the ideas men! We are the friends of the concept, we put in our computers.' " This doctoral thesis shares the concern of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, but still, it is a thesis in architecture and thus collocated within the field of the representatives of the "ideas men". It engages in architectural design theory, and refers in particular to the investigation of methodological approaches within the design process. Therefore, the thesis will not contribute to the philosophical dimension of the term, but intends to overcome its imprecise use within the architectural discourse, in compliance with Eug{\`e}ne Viollet-le-Duc's admonition relative to vague definitions: "Dans les arts, et dans l'architecture en particulier, les d{\´e}finitions vagues ont caus{\´e} bien des erreurs, ont laiss{\´e} germer bien des pr{\´e}jug{\´e}s, enraciner bien des id{\´e}es fausses. On met un mot en avant, chacun y attache un sens diff{\´e}rent." The term concept in architecture is very often used as pure marketing collateral, it serves to sell an idea, a product, a design. Its functional applicability is reduced to a special manner of illustration, produced as one of the various design presentation documents at the end of the design process. In contrast, the original contribution of this thesis aims to give a precise, instrumental dimension to the term concept: the concept is the expression of a specific logic, capable to guide the decisional sequences of the process and thus to improve the quality of the designed projects. The motivation to define a specific instrumentality of the concept is closely connected to the issue of interdisciplinarity in the architects' profession. The interdisciplinary character of the architectural field is widely accepted and discussed as such, but the thesis intends to give a more precise definition of the various kinds of competences involved by classifying them into either the internal or the external group. The traditional notion of interdisciplinarity, predominantly seen as collaboration between architects and technical experts, and, most notably, the historical, sometimes contentious, relationship between architects and engineers is described. Referring to recent developments, the transformation of the architect's role within the professional sphere, marked by an increasing importance of diverse influences and linked to a growing risk of marginalisation, is illustrated. The thesis describes different ways to adapt to this specific kind of interdisciplinarity, which generally requires the architect's ability to connect and to integrate various contents, different points of view and diverse scales. On the other hand, the big potential which is implicit in the interdisciplinary field is exposed: architects can inform their core competence, the design, by extracting contents of different disciplinary competences, pertaining or not pertaining to their own professional field. They have the possibility to cross fields of external competences in a selective way and by doing so they can build up a corpus of knowledge capable to generate and communicate guidelines and systematic methodologies for their design. At the end, the analysis of these two aspects allows the definition of a more specific professional profile of the architect as specialist of interdisciplinarity. The thesis is concerned with the theories around the design process. The design process is seen as open to inspection and critical evaluation, with major focus on the decisional sequences which characterise it. It concentrates on the process' descriptiveness and the degree of self-conscious approaches applied within it. The importance of regulative, strategic mechanisms is illustrated by testimonies taken from a series of design researches and leads to the functional definition of the figure of the concept as representation of a coherent set of ideas, as generator of a project-specific system of rules and as communicator of decisional strategies. The concept's function is furthermore defined as communicative interface which generates and transmits the system of rules authoritative for all the disciplinary competences involved in the design process, a communicative interface which constitutes a basis of shared convictions capable to increase the efficiency of collaboration. Furthermore, the concept's capacity to explore and elaborate the contents of external disciplines is identified as a possible methodological approach to innovative design thinking. The approach to a specific functional definition of the concept is continued by the description of a series of instruments that are simultaneously generating and communicating it. It is outlined to which degree the concept itself is already the result of an ideational process, collocated within the initial phase of the design proceedings, serving as a guideline to them, but still continuously evolving and adapting in its progression. In addition, it is illustrated how all the diverse instruments of the concept are operational media through which the knowledge transition between different disciplines can occur. The considerations about the concept as operational instrument of design are elaborated with regard to a number of examples of didactical applications that are particularly involved in the development and teaching of specific design methods. These examples illustrate the interrelations between design theory and design education. They are derived from very different schools of architecture and diverse mindsets, but all of them transmit models of conceptual design thinking.}, language = {en} }
