PFG-NMR studies of ATP diffusion in PEG-DA hydrogels and aqueous solutions of PEG-DA polymers See

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the major carrier of chemical energy in cells. The diffusion of ATP in hydrogels, which have a structural resemblance to the natural extracellular matrix, is therefore of great importance to understand many biological processes. In continuation of our rec...

Automatisierte Aggregation von Musterimplementierungen See

Christopher Alexander publizierte 1977 erste Muster (Patterns) für die Stadt- und Gebäudearchitektur. Mittlerweile sind Muster in der Softwarearchitektur und -entwicklung etabliert und weitverbreitet. Muster beschreiben abstrakte und bewährte Lösungen für wiederkehrende Problemstellungen. Im Fall von Architekturentwürfen...

A methodology to estimate flow duration curves at partially ungauged basins See

The flow duration curve (FDC) of streamflow at a specific site has a key role in the knowledge on the distribution and characteristics of streamflow at that site. The FDC gives information on the water regime, providing information to optimally manage the water resources of&#x...

Using software-performance-antipatterns and profiling traces to perform code-refactorings See

Today, usability, user satisfaction, as well as enterprise adoption of a software application, are highly influenced by the performance of the software application. Therefore, it is required to resolve performance issues as early as possible during the development of the software. Many ...

A collaborative pattern writing platform See

Nowadays, two types of approaches are used to formulate and publish patterns. On the one hand, patterns are formulated by a group of authors and are published in a printed medium. Hence no feedback is provided outside of the author group unless they approach other authors...

Plant detection and classification in agricultural fields See

Field game herbs like the field larkspur provide a food source for animals e.g. bees, especially during their blooming period. This plant species is weak in competition for nutrients, thus it does not decrease crop yield. Nevertheless, the field larkspur is destructed by the f...

Carbon flow assessment and analysis in European countries: potential benefits of CO2-efficient Demand Response programs in interconnected electricity markets See

The CO2 emission intensity of electricity use in a country is determined by the combination of generation technologies used to satisfy the demand. In an interconnected electricity network, imports and exports between countries can be a significant contributor to the combination. In this...

High-level rovibrational calculations on ketenimine See

From an astrochemical point of view ketenimine (CH2CNH) is a complex organic molecule (COM) and therefore likely to be a building block for biologically relevant molecules. Since it has been detected in the star-forming region Sagittarius B2(N), it is of high relevance in this ...

Development and validation of a novel setup for LEDs lifetime estimation on molded interconnect devices See

Reliability study and thermal performance of LEDs on molded interconnect devices (MID) and PCB See

A novel approach for reliability investigation of LEDs on molded interconnect devices based on FE-analysis coupled to injection molding simulation See

Quantification of drainable water storage volumes on landmasses and in river networks based on GRACE and river runoff using a cascaded storage approach - first application on the Amazon See

The combined use of GRACE mass anomalies and observed river discharge for the first time allows us to quantify the water storage volumes drainable by gravity on global scales. Modelling of catchment and river network storages in a cascade with different dynamics reveals the ti...

Explainable question answering beyond F1: metrics, models and human evaluation See

Explainable question answering systems not only predict an answer, but also provide an explanation why it has been selected. Current work predominantly focuses on the evaluation and development of new models around established metrics such as F1. We argue that this constitutes a di...

Application of image segmentation techniques in satellite altimetry retracking : a feasibility study See

Im Bereich der Ozeanographie ist Satellitenaltimetrie die bevorzugte Methode, um Meereshöhen präzise zu erfassen. Wir möchten diese Technologie auch für Binnengewässer nutzen und mit einer neuen Signalverarbeitungsmethode, die auf Bilderverarbeitungsalgorithmen basiert, die Genauigkeit dieses Verfahrens verbessern. ...

Modellschätzung und Regelung flexibler Lasten See

Die Versetzung von flexiblen Lasten wird oft von Menschen durchgeführt, da sie ein intuitives Verständnis besitzen, auch für unbekanntes Materialverhalten. Um diese Aufgabe zu automatisieren, ist es notwendig, Strategien für die Versetzung durch Roboter zu entwickeln. Um einen modellprädiktiven Regler...

Arbeitskarten zur Wissenschaftstheorie : Unterrichtsmaterial für Weiterbildungen im wissenschaftlichen Bereich See

Die Arbeitskarten zur Wissenschaftstheorie richten sich an Peronen die im Bereich der Hochschulbildung Weiterbildungen oder Seminare für Studierende oder Mitarbeiter*innen anbieten. Sie sind als Unterrichtsmaterialien dazu gedacht, die Reflexion auf wissenschaftstheoretische Fragestellungen zu unterstützen.

Nonadiabatic atomic-like state stabilizing antiferromagnetism and Mott insulation in MnO See

This paper reports evidence that the antiferromagnetic and insulating ground state of MnO is caused by a nonadiabatic atomic-like motion, as is evidently the case in NiO. In addition, it is shown that experimental findings on the displacements of the Mn and O atoms in the...

Development of a vendor independent quantum computing transpiler See

In 2019 a quantum computer took 200 seconds for a task for which a state-of-the-art classical supercomputer would need roughly 10,000 years. Quantum supremacy was shown and the development of quantum technology proceeds quickly. However, several aspects limit the implementation and execution...

Development of an API for temporal coordination of multiple services See

Personal Assistants like Alexa, Cortana or Siri have a lot of applications; however, many require special APIs to solve the posed problems. This Bachelor Thesis formally defines the problems FULLMATCH and FLEXMATCH, which require coordination of services on a temporal level. The develop...
