Item Open Access Security Tools 7: Paßwörter - ein ewiges Problem?(1997) Lehle, Bernd; Reutter, OliverUnsere bisherigen Artikel beschäftigten sich hauptsächlich mit Dingen, über die sich ein Systembetreuer Gedanken machen muß. Nun kommen wir zu einem Thema, das wirklich alle Benutzer angeht und bei dem jeder Benutzer durch leichtfertiges Verhalten Sicherheitslücken schaffen kann. Es ist daher nötig, daß diese Informationen an alle Benutzer weitergegeben werden.Item Open Access Demonstration of supercomputing activities(1996) Geiger, Alfred; Wierse, Andreas; Helf, Clemens; Schmidt, Thomas; Warendorf, Katina; Küster, Uwe; Loebich, Isabel; Lepper, JürgenDuring the inauguration of HLRS a broad variety of supercomputing-activities was demonstrated. As HLRS is involved in the development of Software for supercomputers as well as in their usage, the demos concentrated on the development of novel simulation-codes in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics, the software-tools which are necessary for the developper and on the presentation of typical applications from engineering in the VR-lab.Item Open Access Investigation of oxide layer development of X6CrNiNb18-10 stainless steel exposed to high-temperature water(2024) Veile, Georg; Hirpara, Radhika; Lackmann, Simon; Weihe, StefanThe oxide layer development of X6CrNiNb18-10 (AISI 347) during exposure to high-temperature water has been investigated. Stainless steels are known to form a dual oxide layer in corrosive environments. The secondary Fe-rich oxide layer has no significant protective effect. In contrast, the primary Cr-rich oxide layer is known to reach a stabilized state, protecting the base metal from further oxidation. This study’s purpose was to determine the development of oxide layer dimensions over exposure time using SEM, TEM and EDX line scans. While a parabolic development of Cr in the protective primary layer and Fe in the secondary layer was observed, the dimensions of the Ni layer remained constant. Ni required the presence of a pronounced Fe-rich secondary layer before being able to reside on the outer secondary layer. With increasing immersion time, the Ni element fraction surpassed the Cr element fraction in the secondary layer. Oxide growth on the secondary layer could be observed. After 480 h, nearly the entire surface was covered by the outer oxide layer. In the metal matrix, no depletion of Cr or Ni could be observed over time; however, an increased presence of Cr and Ni in the primary layer was found at the expense of Fe content. The Nb-stabilized stainless steel was subject to the formation of Niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5), with the quantity and magnitude of element fraction increasing over exposure time.Item Open Access Expanded measurement uncertainty concept for the calibration of Charpy pendulum impact machines(2025) Gerber, SiegfriedWith this approach, it is for the first time possible to map all for the direct calibration relevant influences on the impact energy that are to be tested according the standard and to determine complete the respective deviation and measurement uncertainty component. Therefore it is necessary to transfer the tested parameters in influences on the indicated absorbed energy. Based on the numerical example of a presented specific calibration, it has been shown that many influences that have not yet been considered must also be considered, whereas some components can be neglected.Item Open Access Experimental study on mechanical properties of European oak and Norway spruce clear wood(2025) Gambarelli, Serena; Bošnjak, Josipa; Fararoni Platas, Rey Noé; Jin, KexinThe trends in the building industry related to sustainability and environmental footprint make timber structures more appealing than ever. Many challenges in understanding the behaviour of structural timber can be addressed by combining experimental and numerical methods. However, sophisticated numerical tools require a complete description of the behaviour at the material level. Even though there are vast databases on the properties of different species, there are only limited studies on the mechanical response with complete stress–strain curves for all relevant directions. In order to bridge this gap, the present study investigates the mechanical response of European oak (hardwood) and Norway spruce (softwood). Uniaxial tensile and compressive tests were performed on small clear wood specimens. The behaviour was investigated for the direction parallel (longitudinal) and perpendicular to the grain (radial and tangential). Both species exhibit brittle tensile behaviour in all material directions, in contrast to the ductile performance under compression. The tensile strength lies at 70 MPa and 80 MPa for spruce and oak, respectively, whereas both species exhibit a compressive strength of approximately 50 MPa in the longitudinal direction. Due to the narrow range of the investigated density, growth-ring angle and growth-ring width, only a limited effect of these parameters was observed on the tensile behaviour in the longitudinal direction.Item Open Access Datamator : an authoring tool for creating datamations via data query decomposition(2023) Guo, Yi; Cao, Nan; Cai, Ligan; Wu, Yanqiu; Weiskopf, Daniel; Shi, Danqing; Chen, QingDatamation is designed to animate an analysis pipeline step by step, serving as an intuitive and efficient method for interpreting data analysis outcomes and facilitating easy sharing with others. However, the creation of a datamation is a difficult task that demands expertise in diverse skills. To simplify this task, we introduce Datamator, a language-oriented authoring tool developed to support datamation generation. In this system, we develop a data query analyzer that enables users to generate an initial datamation effortlessly by inputting a data question in natural language. Then, the datamation is displayed in an interactive editor that affords users the ability to both edit the analysis progression and delve into the specifics of each step undertaken. Notably, the Datamator incorporates a novel calibration network that is able to optimize the outputs of the query decomposition network using a small amount of user feedback. To demonstrate the effectiveness of Datamator, we conduct a series of evaluations including performance validation, a controlled user study, and expert interviews.Item Open Access Technisch-Wissenschaftliches Rechnen mit modernen PCs(1996) Helf, Clemens; Küster, Uwe; Zürn, ManuelaIntel hat im vergangenen Jahr mit dem Pentium Pro den ersten PC-Prozessor auf den Markt gebracht, der hohe Leistung, PC-Funktionalität und -Kosten miteinander vereinigen soll. Er wird in Home Computern, Workstations, Servern und Supercomputern stecken. Seine nominelle Leistung ist so hoch wie die einer CRAY-1, das Memory wenigstens das Achtfache. In der Vergangenheit waren aufwendige numerische Berechnungen an Supercomputer gebunden, danach eine Domäne der Workstations. Wird der PC in Zukunft die Alternative im Technisch-Wissenschaftlichen Rechnen?Item Open Access Touching data with PropellerHand(2022) Achberger, Alexander; Heyen, Frank; Vidackovic, Kresimir; Sedlmair, MichaelImmersive analytics often takes place in virtual environments which promise the users immersion. To fulfill this promise, sensory feedback, such as haptics, is an important component, which is however not well supported yet. Existing haptic devices are often expensive, stationary, or occupy the user’s hand, preventing them from grasping objects or using a controller. We propose PropellerHand, an ungrounded hand-mounted haptic device with two rotatable propellers, that allows exerting forces on the hand without obstructing hand use. PropellerHand is able to simulate feedback such as weight and torque by generating thrust up to 11 N in 2-DOF and a torque of 1.87 Nm in 2-DOF. Its design builds on our experience from quantitative and qualitative experiments with different form factors and parts. We evaluated our prototype through a qualitative user study in various VR scenarios that required participants to manipulate virtual objects in different ways, while changing between torques and directional forces. Results show that PropellerHand improves users’ immersion in virtual reality. Additionally, we conducted a second user study in the field of immersive visualization to investigate the potential benefits of PropellerHand there.Item Open Access Innovative approach to conceptual design of enterprise risk management software(2024) Stanojević, Petar; Misita, Mirjana; Đurić, Goran; Kuzmanović, Bogdan; Milošević, Mladen; Balos, DanielThe paper shows the integration of the theoretical and practical aspects of designing an ERM software tool. The basic idea of the designed ERM is conceived in the form of an algorithm using the integration of ISO 3100, the COSO framework, the risk matrix designed according to the risk appetite of the observed company, quantitative and qualitative models for risk assessment, and the generation of consequences and mitigating measures for each identified risk. Methodologies for risk assessment in the presented ERM include the following: For business risks, questionnaires were generated for different business areas (from knowledge bases) and the assessment was conducted according to risk matrices. Workplace risk is assessed according to the Kinney method, while technical risks are assessed according to the API 580, 581 standard. Software is created to outbalance problems of all types of risk that may arise regardless of the complexity of the business and the risk itself. The algorithm, model and software were developed and successfully tested in two Serbian companies.Item Open Access Neu für Uni Stuttgart: Datensicherungsdienst(1998) Rentschler, GerhardDas RUS hat bisher den Benutzern aus der Universität angeboten, die Sicherung der Files für die PCs, Workstations und Server auf dem Fileserver ruscy abzulegen. Dort werden die Sicherungsfiles von der Datenmigration (DMF) automatisch auf Band ausgelagert. Dieses System ist in die Jahre gekommen und wird in absehbarer Zeit stillgelegt, insbesondere auch wegen der hohen Wartungskosten. Wir führen daher ein neues Datensicherungssystem ein. Wie die meisten anderen Universitäten in Baden-Württemberg haben wir uns für das Produkt ADSM von IBM entschieden. Dieses Produkt hat eine Server/Client-Architektur und ermöglicht den Backup für fast alle Typen von Workstations und PCs.
