Heat pumps are a vital element for reaching the greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets in the heating sector, but their system integration requires smart control approaches. In this paper, we first offer a comprehensive literature review and definition of the term control for the&#...

Modern distributed systems more and more frequently adapt the microservice architectural style to design cloud-based systems. However the prevalence of microservice architectures and container orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes increase the complexity of assessing the resilience of such systems....

Microgrids are low-voltage, reliable, economic, renewable energy resources that help to reduce the increasing demand of energy. Microgrids are environmentally friendly because of their renewable energy resources. The installations of various renewable energy resources are increasing day by day to ...

Im Umfeld der Medizintechnik müssen in der Zukunft automatisierte Systeme entwickelt werden, die den Menschen bei der Steigerung ihrer Lebensqualität unterstützen können, und zwar durch die Intelligenz der Systeme. Dies kann durch die Integration von künstlicher Intelligenz in die Soft- und ...

Thermoset materials offer a multitude of advantageous properties in terms of shrinkage and warpage as well as mechanical, thermal and chemical stability compared to thermoplastic materials. Thanks to these properties, thermosets are commonly used to encapsulate electronic components on a 2nd-leve...

A physically based material model, taking into account the interdependence of material microstructure and yield strength, is presented for an Al 5182 series aluminum alloy for the simulation of friction stir welding using continuum mechanics approaches. A microstructure evolution equation conside...

The investment which is necessary to replace Si IGBTs with SiC MOSFETs in medium to high power DC-AC inverters needs to be balanced carefully against the advantages SiC offers. This paper compares a 20 kW Si IGBT inverter with a 20 kW SiC MOSFET inverter. The power&#...

Cloud Computing ist ein flexibler und leistungsfähiger Ansatz, um Informationstechnologiedienste jeglicher Art zur Verfügung zu stellen. Die Dienste werden mit Hilfe einer Virtualisierungstechnologie bereitgestellt, über die auf einem einzigen Server mehrere virtuelle Instanzen dynamisch und ohne großen Managem...

Norwegen ist mit ca. 98 % der jährlichen Stromerzeugung aus erneuerbaren Energien eine bedeutende Energie-Nation Europas. Die Preise am Strommarkt bilden sich auf Basis der kurzfristigen Grenzkosten der Erzeugung. Bei der Modellierung von Elektrizitätsmarktmodellen und den daraus resultierenden kurzfristig...

Given an ordered sequence of points P = {p1, p2, ..., pn}, we consider all contiguous subsequences Pi,j := {pi, ..., pj} of P and the set T of distinct Delaunay triangles within their Delaunay triangulations. For arbitrary point sets and orderings, we give an O(n^2) ...

Variational optical flow estimation, i.e. the estimation of motion information from image sequences using continuous optimization approaches, plays an important role in computer vision. Recently, the order-adaptive regularization approach by Maurer et al. [MSB17b] has shown to yield a performance ...

The expansion of renewable energy usage is one of the major social tasks in Europe and therefore requires acceptance and support from the population. In the case of onshore wind turbines, the complaints of local residents are often interpreted as infrasound disturbances conceivably ...

With constant advances both in hardware and software, the availability of urban data is more versatile than ever. Structure-from-Motion (SfM), dense image matching (DIM), and multi-view stereo (MVS) algorithms have revolutionized the software side and scale to large data sets. The outcomes&#...

Despite the availability of different therapeutic options, large numbers of melanoma patients still do not respond to treatment or experience disease recurrence. Therefore, there is a need to develop novel therapeutics and identify those patients who would benefit most from such therapies.&#...

Größere Lehrveranstaltungen an der Universität gehen zwangsläufig mit Herausforderungen einher. Deren Rahmenbedingungen wirken sich negativ auf die Interaktion zwischen Dozenten und den Studierenden aus. Dadurch erhält die Lehrperson kein valides Feedback von den Hörern, ob die Vorgehensgeschwindigkeit angemess...

Microwave diagnostics are widely used in fusion-oriented plasma research. Especially, electron cyclotron emission (ECE) measurements are routinely employed for reliable investigations of radial temperature profiles. Furthermore, an ECE diagnostic can be used to measure electron densities or detect superthe...

This volume is the first of two, and it documents activities that we have been conducting in the past years. They are best described as “organizing shared tasks with/in/for the digital humanities” and have evolved significantly since we started. Research in digital human...
