Optimierte Schnittmuster in Kleinunternehmen : Konzept zur Branchenverschiebung in der Modeindustrie
(2024)
Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich Herangehensweisen, die dem Fast-Fashion-Phänomen – einem Trend in der Bekleidungsindustrie, der sich durch immer schnellere Produktion, kürzere Produktlebenszyklen und kostengünstigere Massenproduktion auszeichnet, entgegenstehen. Die alternative Herangehensweise orientiert sich am Berufsbild des Maßschneiders. Ein Lasercutter, der für den Arbeitsalltag von Kleinunternehmen in der Kleidungsbranche optimiert ist, übernimmt das Ausschneiden von Schnittmustern auf Stoffen. Dies ermöglicht Unternehmen in der digitalisierten Welt konkurrenzfähig zu bleiben, ohne große Aufrüstungsarbeiten.
OneHold ist ein kompaktes Produktsystem, welches durch die Nutzung von Modularität Multifunktionalität erreicht,
und so Mehrwert bietet, indem es die grundlegenden Aufgaben im Haushalt mit weniger benötigten Komponenten bewältigt.
So werden Teile, Raum, Kosten und Ressourcen gespart. OneHold kann in Form von mehreren Modulen flexibel gemietet
werden, um die Bedürfnisse temporär wohnender Menschen passgenau zu bedienen. Die Power-Einheit mit Elektromotor und Akku wird mit jeweils einem Modul für die zu bewältigende Haushaltsaufgabe verbunden. In dieser Bachelorarbeit wurden neben der Power-Einheit vier Module gestaltet: Staubsauger, Mixer, Pürierstab, und Akkuschrauber. Das Design von OneHold zelebriert die Achse mit rotierender Funktion als formgebenden Kern des Produkts. Die dynamisch gestreckte zylindrische Form verleiht jeder Modulkonfiguration des Produktsystems ein einheitliches Aussehen.
This paper investigates the interior transmission problem for homogeneous media via eigenvalue trajectories parameterized by the magnitude of the refractive index. In the case that the scatterer is the unit disk, we prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between complex-valued interior transmission eigenvalue trajectories and Dirichlet eigenvalues of the Laplacian which turn out to be exactly the trajectorial limit points as the refractive index tends to infinity. For general simply-connected scatterers in two or three dimensions, a corresponding relation is still open, but further theoretical results and numerical studies indicate a similar connection.
N-Acyl-amino acids can act as mild biobased surfactants, which are used, e.g., in baby shampoos. However, their chemical synthesis needs acyl chlorides and does not meet sustainability criteria. Thus, the identification of biocatalysts to develop greener synthesis routes is desirable. We describe a novel aminoacylase from Paraburkholderia monticola DSM 100849 (PmAcy) which was identified, cloned, and evaluated for its N-acyl-amino acid synthesis potential. Soluble protein was obtained by expression in lactose autoinduction medium and co-expression of molecular chaperones GroEL/S. Strep-tag affinity purification enriched the enzyme 16-fold and yielded 15 mg pure enzyme from 100 mL of culture. Biochemical characterization revealed that PmAcy possesses beneficial traits for industrial application like high temperature and pH-stability. A heat activation of PmAcy was observed upon incubation at temperatures up to 80 °C. Hydrolytic activity of PmAcy was detected with several N-acyl-amino acids as substrates and exhibited the highest conversion rate of 773 U/mg with N-lauroyl-L-alanine at 75 °C. The enzyme preferred long-chain acyl-amino-acids and displayed hardly any activity with acetyl-amino acids. PmAcy was also capable of N-acyl-amino acid synthesis with good conversion rates. The best synthesis results were obtained with the cationic L-amino acids L-arginine and L-lysine as well as with L-leucine and L-phenylalanine. Exemplarily, L-phenylalanine was acylated with fatty acids of chain lengths from C8 to C18 with conversion rates of up to 75%. N-lauroyl-L-phenylalanine was purified by precipitation, and the structure of the reaction product was verified by LC–MS and NMR.
New insights into the influence of pre-culture on robust solvent production of C. acetobutylicum
(2024)
Clostridia are known for their solvent production, especially the production of butanol. Concerning the projected depletion of fossil fuels, this is of great interest. The cultivation of clostridia is known to be challenging, and it is difficult to achieve reproducible results and robust processes. However, existing publications usually concentrate on the cultivation conditions of the main culture. In this paper, the influence of cryo-conservation and pre-culture on growth and solvent production in the resulting main cultivation are examined. A protocol was developed that leads to reproducible cultivations of Clostridium acetobutylicum. Detailed investigation of the cell conservation in cryo-cultures ensured reliable cell growth in the pre-culture. Moreover, a reason for the acid crash in the main culture was found, based on the cultivation conditions of the pre-culture. The critical parameter to avoid the acid crash and accomplish the shift to the solventogenesis of clostridia is the metabolic phase in which the cells of the pre-culture were at the time of inoculation of the main culture; this depends on the cultivation time of the pre-culture. Using cells from the exponential growth phase to inoculate the main culture leads to an acid crash. To achieve the solventogenic phase with butanol production, the inoculum should consist of older cells which are in the stationary growth phase. Considering these parameters, which affect the entire cultivation process, reproducible results and reliable solvent production are ensured.
Muscle function is compromised by gravitational unloading in space affecting overall musculoskeletal health. Astronauts perform daily exercise programmes to mitigate these effects but knowing which muscles to target would optimise effectiveness. Accurate inflight assessment to inform exercise programmes is critical due to lack of technologies suitable for spaceflight. Changes in mechanical properties indicate muscle health status and can be measured rapidly and non-invasively using novel technology. A hand-held MyotonPRO device enabled monitoring of muscle health for the first time in spaceflight (> 180 days). Greater/maintained stiffness indicated countermeasures were effective. Tissue stiffness was preserved in the majority of muscles (neck, shoulder, back, thigh) but Tibialis Anterior (foot lever muscle) stiffness decreased inflight vs. preflight (p < 0.0001; mean difference 149 N/m) in all 12 crewmembers. The calf muscles showed opposing effects, Gastrocnemius increasing in stiffness Soleus decreasing. Selective stiffness decrements indicate lack of preservation despite daily inflight countermeasures. This calls for more targeted exercises for lower leg muscles with vital roles as ankle joint stabilizers and in gait. Muscle stiffness is a digital biomarker for risk monitoring during future planetary explorations (Moon, Mars), for healthcare management in challenging environments or clinical disorders in people on Earth, to enable effective tailored exercise programmes.
The book covers various numerical field simulation methods, nonlinear circuit technology and its MF-S- and X-parameters, as well as state-of-the-art power amplifier techniques. It also describes newly presented oscillators and the emerging field of GHz plasma technology. Furthermore, it addresses aspects such as waveguides, mixers, phase-locked loops, antennas, and propagation effects, in combination with the bachelor's book 'High-Frequency Engineering,' encompassing all aspects related to the current state of GHz technology.
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) are investigated with great interest for biomedical applications in diagnostics (e.g. imaging: magnetic particle imaging (MPI)), therapeutics (e.g. hyperthermia: magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH)) and multi-purpose biosensing (e.g. magnetic immunoassays (MIA)). What all of these applications have in common is that they are based on the unique magnetic relaxation mechanisms of MNP in an alternating magnetic field (AMF). While MFH and MPI are currently the most prominent examples of biomedical applications, here we present results on the relatively new biosensing application of frequency mixing magnetic detection (FMMD) from a simulation perspective. In general, we ask how the key parameters of MNP (core size and magnetic anisotropy) affect the FMMD signal: by varying the core size, we investigate the effect of the magnetic volume per MNP; and by changing the effective magnetic anisotropy, we study the MNPs’ flexibility to leave its preferred magnetization direction. From this, we predict the most effective combination of MNP core size and magnetic anisotropy for maximum signal generation.
After a brief introduction of conventional laboratory structures, this work focuses on an innovative and universal approach for a setup of a training laboratory for electric machines and drive systems. The novel approach employs a central 48 V DC bus, which forms the backbone of the structure. Several sets of DC machine, asynchronous machine and synchronous machine are connected to this bus. The advantages of the novel system structure are manifold, both from a didactic and a technical point of view: Student groups can work on their own performance level in a highly parallelized and at the same time individualized way. Additional training setups (similar or different) can easily be added. Only the total power dissipation has to be provided, i.e. the DC bus balances the power flow between the student groups. Comparative results of course evaluations of several cohorts of students are shown.
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have become popular worldwide with the market growing exponentially in some countries. The absence of product standards and safety regulations requires urgent development of analytical methodologies for the holistic control of the growing diversity of such products. An approach based on low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) at 80 MHz is presented for the simultaneous determination of key parameters: carrier solvents (vegetable glycerine (VG), propylene glycol (PG) and water), total nicotine as well as free-base nicotine fraction. Moreover, qualitative and quantitative determination of fourteen weak organic acids deliberately added to enhance sensory characteristics of e-cigarettes was possible. In most cases these parameters can be rapidly and conveniently determined without using any sample manipulation such as dilution, extraction or derivatization steps. The method was applied for 37 authentic e-cigarettes samples. In particular, eight different organic acids with the content up to 56 mg/mL were detected. Due to its simplicity, the method can be used in routine regulatory control as well as to study release behaviour of nicotine and other e-cigarettes constituents in different products.
Lehrmaterial für den Tiroler Skilehrerverband: Konzeption für eine crossmediale
Neugestaltung
(2024)
Der Tiroler Skilehrerverband bereitet angehende Skilehrer:innen auf die verschiedenen Schneesportlehrer-Prüfungen vor. Skilehrer:innen spielen eine entscheidende Rolle im Erfolg des Wintertourismus, was ihre gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Relevanz unterstreicht. Die zeitgemäße Neugestaltung des Lehrmaterials soll eine effektive Vermittlung von Lerninhalten ermöglichen. Durch die Kombination von Informationsdesign, Corporate Design und Editorial Design wird die Verständlichkeit und Attraktivität des Materials gesteigert. Die Integration einer Lernapp ermöglicht eine interaktive und multimediale Lernerfahrung sowie mehr Flexibilität für die Lernenden. Die crossmediale Neugestaltung wirkt den Problemen veralteter Darstellungsformen entgegen. Es wird deutlich, dass gut gestaltetes Lehrmaterial bei gleichbleibenden Inhalten zu einer besseren Lernerfahrung führt.
Seegras wird als „Rohstoff der Zukunft“ betitelt, da es helfen könnte, eine Reihe von globalen Problemen zu bekämpfen. Viele der erhofften Innovationen sind heute aber noch hypothetisch. Außerdem ist das Thema in der westlichen Welt trotz der Neigung zum Klimaschutz kaum bekannt. Die Idee von „Land Rover Symbiosis“ ist ein nachhaltiges Tourismuskonzept, das Forschung und Erlebnisreisen miteinander verknüpft. Auf einer 70m Katamaran Superyacht ist Platz für Forschungszwecke auf der einen und Raum für Expeditionsurlaub auf der anderen Seite. So entsteht ein Verhältnis an Bord, bei dem beide Parteien voneinander profitieren: Wissenschaftler:innen erhalten finanzielle Unterstützung und Kund:innen haben ein klimaneutrales Urlaubserlebnis, bei dem sie hautnah die Vorzüge und Potenziale von Seegras kennenlernen.
Due to the transition to renewable energies, electricity markets need to be made fit for purpose. To enable the comparison of different energy market designs, modeling tools covering market actors and their heterogeneous behavior are needed. Agent-based models are ideally suited for this task. Such models can be used to simulate and analyze changes to market design or market mechanisms and their impact on market dynamics. In this paper, we conduct an evaluation and comparison of two actively developed open-source energy market simulation models. The two models, namely AMIRIS and ASSUME, are both designed to simulate future energy markets using an agent-based approach. The assessment encompasses modelling features and techniques, model performance, as well as a comparison of model results, which can serve as a blueprint for future comparative studies of simulation models. The main comparison dataset includes data of Germany in 2019 and simulates the Day-Ahead market and participating actors as individual agents. Both models are comparable close to the benchmark dataset with a MAE between 5.6 and 6.4 €/MWh while also modeling the actual dispatch realistically.
Frequency mixing magnetic detection (FMMD) is a sensitive and selective technique to detect magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) serving as probes for binding biological targets. Its principle relies on the nonlinear magnetic relaxation dynamics of a particle ensemble interacting with a dual frequency external magnetic field. In order to increase its sensitivity, lower its limit of detection and overall improve its applicability in biosensing, matching combinations of external field parameters and internal particle properties are being sought to advance FMMD. In this study, we systematically probe the aforementioned interaction with coupled Néel–Brownian dynamic relaxation simulations to examine how key MNP properties as well as applied field parameters affect the frequency mixing signal generation. It is found that the core size of MNPs dominates their nonlinear magnetic response, with the strongest contributions from the largest particles. The drive field amplitude dominates the shape of the field-dependent response, whereas effective anisotropy and hydrodynamic size of the particles only weakly influence the signal generation in FMMD. For tailoring the MNP properties and parameters of the setup towards optimal FMMD signal generation, our findings suggest choosing large particles of core sizes dc > 25 nm nm with narrow size distributions (σ < 0.1) to minimize the required drive field amplitude. This allows potential improvements of FMMD as a stand-alone application, as well as advances in magnetic particle imaging, hyperthermia and magnetic immunoassays.
Wer A sagt, muss zumindest im Kaufrecht nicht immer B sagen: Es kommt nicht selten vor, dass sich in einem Kaufvertrag einerseits ein wirksamer Ausschluss der Gewährleistung des Verkäufers für Sachmängel findet, die Parteien aber andererseits gleichwohl eine Beschaffenheitsvereinbarung für bestimmte Eigenschaften vertraglich festlegen. In diesem Problemfeld führt eine aktuelle Entscheidung des BGH zu weiteren Klärungen für die Praxis (BGH, Urt. v. 10.4.2024 – VIII ZR 161/23, MDR 2024, 706). Der folgende Beitrag setzt sich mit den vielfältigen Aspekten der Entscheidung auseinander und erläutert, aus welchen Gründen der BGH dem Käufer einige goldene Brücken für einen Schadensersatzanspruch gebaut hat.
In der wasserbaulichen Forschung werden neben klassischen Messinstrumenten zunehmend kamerabasierte Verfahren genutzt. Diese erlauben neben der Bestimmung von Fließgeschwindigkeiten auch die Detektion der freien Wasseroberfläche oder zeitliche Vermessung von Kolken. Durch die hohen räumlichen und zeitlichen Auflösungen, welche neueste Kamerasensoren liefern, können neue Erkenntnisse in turbulenten, komplexen Strömungen gewonnen werden. Auch in der Praxis können diese Verfahren mit geringem Aufwand wichtige Daten liefern.
