The landscape of High Performance Computing (HPC) is dynamic and intra-node communication efficiency has emerged as a critical factor in system performance. This thesis presents the Zero-Copy Application Programming Interface (ZCom), which utilizes cross-partition memory (XPMEM) technology to improve ...

The cooling of server components has been developed over the past few years in order to meet increasing cooling requirements. The growth in performance and power density increases the cooling demand. To gain a better understanding of the evolution and possible future technology dev...

Functionally Graded Concrete (FGC) allows for a significant reduction in the mass of concrete components while maintaining their structural and functional requirements and improving recycling capacity. This is achieved by inserting spherical mineral hollow bodies into the structure where no mater...

In this study, we quantitatively investigate the impact of 1.4 wt.% chromium and 1.4 wt.% molybdenum additions on pearlitic microstructure characteristics in 1 wt.% carbon steels. The study was carried out using a combination of experimental methods and phase field simulations. We utili...

We address the challenging application of 3D pore scale reactive flow under varying geometry parameters. The task is to predict time-dependent integral quantities, i.e., breakthrough curves, from the given geometries. As the 3D reactive flow simulation is highly complex and computationally e...

The layered orthorhombic quaternary tellurides EuRECuTe3 (RE = Ho, Tm, Sc) with Cmcm symmetry were first synthesized. Single crystals of the compounds up to 500 μm in size were obtained by the halide-flux method at 1120 K from elements taken in a ratio of Eu/RE/Cu&#x...

PHBV is a promising plastic for replacing conventional petroleum-based plastics in the future. However, the mechanical properties of PHBV are too low for use in high-stress applications and the degradation of the polymer limits possible applications. In this work, the mechanical properties&#...

The densification of urban spaces globally has contributed to a need for design tools supporting the planning of more sustainable, efficient, and liveable cities. Urban Design Optimisation (UDO) responds to this challenge by providing a means to explore many design solutions for a ...

This study presents a thermoset moulding compound designed for electrical machines with high power densities. The compound reduces residual stresses induced by the difference in thermal expansion during use and by shrinkage in the compound during the manufacturing process. To reduce the ...

Apoptose ist eine Form des programmierten Zelltods, die häufig bei verschiedenen Krankheiten wie Krebs gestört ist. Ein Schlüsselereignis der Apoptose ist die Permeabilisierung der äußeren Mitochondrienmembran (MOMP), die von der B-Zell-Lymphom 2 (Bcl-2) Proteinfamilie gesteuert wird. Bcl-2-Proteine bilden ...

Complex local flow structures appear in a wide range of free-flow systems, e.g. vortices build after obstacles. For understanding and predicting numerous processes, it is important to capture local details in free fluid flow, which is the focus of this work. Particularly, we are&#x...

Bei der Herstellung von Mikrosystem-Strukturen werden Fotolacke eingesetzt, um über lithografische Verfahren Oberflächenstrukturen im Sub-Mikrometerbereich herzustellen. Der Fotolack wird als dünne Schicht auf ein Substrat aufgebracht und durch eine Maske, welche die zu erhaltende Struktur enthält, über UV-Lich...

Incremental improvement to the current state-of-the-art lithium-ion technology, for example regarding the physical or electrochemical design, can bridge the gap until the next generation of cells are ready to take Li-ions place. Previously designed two-layered porosity-graded graphite anodes, together ...

Biomimicry is an interdisciplinary approach to study and transfer principles or mechanisms from nature to solve design challenges, frequently differentiated from other design disciplines by its particular focus on and promise of sustainability. However, in the biomimicry and biologically inspired ...

The shortest path problem is a well-studied problem in computer-science. For transport networks, there exist natural graph representations and highly efficient algorithms that can compute shortest paths on millions of nodes within milliseconds. In contrast, computing shortest paths in space ...

This paper proposes a new multifunctional flame retardant carbon nanofiber/glycidyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (GPOSS) epoxy formulation specially designed for lightweight composite materials capable of fulfilling the ever-changing demands of the future aerospace industry. The multifunctional resin wa...
