This paper proposes a quick and simplified method to describe masonry vaults in global seismic analyses of buildings. An equivalent macro-element constituted by a set of six trusses, two for each transverse, longitudinal and diagonal direction, is introduced. The equivalent trusses, whose stiffness is calculated by fully modeled vaults of different geometry, mechanical properties and boundary conditions, simulate the vault in both global analysis and local analysis, such as kinematic or rocking approaches. A parametric study was carried out to investigate the influence of geometrical characteristics and mechanical features on the equivalent stiffness values. The method was numerically validated by performing modal and transient analysis on a three naves-church in the elastic range. Vibration modes and displacement time-histories were compared showing satisfying agreement between the complete and the simplified models. This procedure is particularly useful in engineering practice because it allows to assess, in a simplified way, the effectiveness of strengthening interventions for reducing horizontal relative displacements between vault supports.
Field-effect EIS (electrolyte-insulator-semiconductor) sensors modified with a positively charged weak polyelectrolyte layer have been applied for the electrical detection of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) immobilization and hybridization by the intrinsic molecular charge. The EIS sensors are able to detect the existence of target DNA amplicons in PCR (polymerase chain reaction) samples and thus, can be used as tool for a quick verification of DNA amplification and the successful PCR process. Due to their miniaturized setup, compatibility with advanced micro- and nanotechnologies, and ability to detect biomolecules by their intrinsic molecular charge, those sensors can serve as possible platform for the development of label-free DNA chips. Possible application fields as well as challenges and limitations will be discussed.
In a special paired sample case, Hotelling’s T² test based on the differences of the paired random vectors is the likelihood ratio test for testing the hypothesis that the paired random vectors have the same mean; with respect to a special group of affine linear transformations it is the uniformly most powerful invariant test for the general alternative of a difference in mean. We present an elementary straightforward proof of this result. The likelihood ratio test for testing the hypothesis that the covariance structure is of the assumed special form is derived and discussed. Applications to real data are given.
Hotelling’s T² tests in paired and independent survey samples are compared using the traditional asymptotic efficiency concepts of Hodges–Lehmann, Bahadur and Pitman, as well as through criteria based on the volumes of corresponding confidence regions. Conditions characterizing the superiority of a procedure are given in terms of population canonical correlation type coefficients. Statistical tests for checking these conditions are developed. Test statistics based on the eigenvalues of a symmetrized sample cross-covariance matrix are suggested, as well as test statistics based on sample canonical correlation type coefficients.
Kundenanforderungen an Netzwerke haben sich in den vergangenen Jahren stark verändert. Mit NFV und SDN sind Unternehmen technisch in der Lage, diesen gerecht zu werden. Die Provider stehen jedoch vor großen Herausforderungen: Insbesondere Produkte und Prozesse müssen angepasst und agiler werden, um die Stärken von NFV und SDN zum Kundenvorteil auszuspielen.
Contemporary research appreciates a diverse workforce as a potential source of innovation. Researchers explore the fine details of why diversity management is central for generating innovations in heterogeneous research groups and how it could be effectively implemented into organizations. Complex research associations that discuss topics with a high impact on society increasingly address the necessity of establishing a diverse workforce to confront the challenges of tomorrow. Characterized by complex management structures as well as hierarchies, research associations have not been a subject of investigation until now. For this reason, the presented research project aims to develop a diversity and innovation management strategy with the ultimate goal of inducing change in the corporate culture. The proposed approach consisted of six phases; the first two phases investigated the status quo of diversity in the existing organizational structures of member institutes and the variety of particular working cultures within the research association. The third and the fourth phases utilized qualitative and quantitative studies. The third phase focused on the connection of management level to diversity and innovation, and the need for diversity and innovation management, and tailor-made methods of implementing them. The first three phases have been accomplished successfully; preliminary results are already available. The fourth phase will mainly focus on exploring the mind-set of the employees. The fifth phase will consolidate the findings in the first four phases into an implementable strategy. The final phase will address the implementation of this strategy into the organization. Phases 4 to 6 have not yet been undertaken
Die Frage des Schutzes von virtuellen Identitäten ist – insbesondere bei Online-Medien – von elementarer Bedeutung: Ihre Beantwortung entscheidet über die Anwendbarkeit des Datenschutzrechts auf vermeintlich anonyme Nutzerprofile im Internet. Eine differenzierte Auseinandersetzung mit der Problematik, ob und unter welchen Umständen virtuelle Identitäten dem Datenschutzrecht unterfallen, fehlt bislang. Der vorliegende Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über den Schutz virtueller Identitäten und zeigt Ansätze auf, mittels derer bestimmt werden kann, wann virtuelle Identitäten nach Inkrafttreten der DSGVO durch das Datenschutzrecht geschützt werden.
Silos generally work as storage structures between supply and demand for various goods, and their structural safety has long been of interest to the civil engineering profession. This is especially true for dynamically loaded silos, e.g., in case of seismic excitation. Particularly thin-walled cylindrical silos are highly vulnerable to seismic induced pressures, which can cause critical buckling phenomena of the silo shell. The analysis of silos can be carried out in two different ways. In the first, the seismic loading is modeled through statically equivalent loads acting on the shell. Alternatively, a time history analysis might be carried out, in which nonlinear phenomena due to the filling as well as the interaction between the shell and the granular material are taken into account. The paper presents a comparison of these approaches. The model used for the nonlinear time history analysis considers the granular material by means of the intergranular strain approach for hypoplasticity theory. The interaction effects between the granular material and the shell is represented by contact elements. Additionally, soil–structure interaction effects are taken into account.

Development and Testing of a Low NOX Micromix Combustion Chamber for an Industrial Gas Turbine
(2017)
The Micromix combustion principle, based on cross-flow mixing of air and hydrogen, promises low emission applications in future gas turbines. The Micromix combustion takes place in several hundreds of miniaturized diffusion-type micro-flames. The major advantage is the inherent safety against flash-back and low NOx-emissions due to a very short residence time of reactants in the flame region. The paper gives insight into the Micromix design and scaling procedure for different energy densities and the interaction of scaling laws and key design drivers in gas turbine integration. Numerical studies, experimental testing, gas turbine integration and interface considerations are evaluated. The aerodynamic stabilization of the miniaturized flamelets and the resulting flow field, flame structure and NOx formation are analysed experimentally and numerically. The results show and confirm the successful adaption of the low NOx Micromix characteristics for a range of different nozzle sizes, energy densities and thermal power output.
Für Auftragschweißaufgaben existiert eine Vielzahl an verfahrenstechnischen
Prozessvarianten, die je nach Charakteristik und Anwendungsfall
ausgewählt werden. Ein Nachteil der vorwiegend verwendeten Metall-
Schutzgasschweißprozesse (MSG) für das Auftragschweißen ist durch die
direkte Kopplung von Drahtvorschub zu Energieeintrag gegeben. Die vorgestellte
Zweidraht-Prozessvariante kann durch die Ausbildung eines übertragenen
und eines nicht-übertragenen Lichtbogens die elektrische Leistung
beider Lichtbögen variieren und damit einen direkten Einfluss auf
die Prozessgrößen Abschmelzleistung und Aufschmelzgrad nehmen. Im
Speziellen besteht über die Entkopplung von Drahtvorschub zu Schweißstromstärke
die Möglichkeit eines niederenergetischen Betriebs trotz hoher
Drahtvorschubgeschwindigkeit. Damit lassen sich Aufschmelzgrade
unter 2% umsetzen und Abschmelzleistungen bis zu 15 kg/h realisieren.
