Development, Verification and Analysis of a Fault Injection Tool for Improving Dependability of FPGA Systems
(2019-11)
Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) has been involved in various applications in the last couple of decades, such as aerospace, biomedical instrumentation, safety-critical systems, and spacecraft, due to their remarkable features. These features include parallelism, reconfiguration, self-healing capabilities, availability, low cost and low design turn-around time. FPGA devices are sensitive to Single Event Effects (SEE), which can be caused by various sources, such as α-particles, cosmic rays, atmospheric neutrons, ...

Manure application effects on nitrogen pools in a subtropical soil of Oman
(2019-04)
Agricultural productivity of the millennia-old oasis agriculture in Oman is based on the continuous application of high rates of goat and sheep manure combined with flood irrigation. The high nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) turnover in these systems is a result of year-around high temperatures and continuous soil moisture, but knowledge is lacking on how N and C are transformed under these conditions. Therefore, this study aimed at investigating the N movement in different soil N pools. To this end a field experiment was ...

Druckverlustarmes Längsrippenheizregister für Lüftungsanlagen
(2019)
Ob Luft-Wasser-Wärmeübertrager mit längs zur Strömungsrichtung angeordneten Rippen geeignet sind, die Druckverluste gegenüber einem konventionellen Heizregister mit Querrippen zu reduzieren, wird im vorliegenden Beitrag untersucht. Die durchgeführten theoretischen und messtechnischen Analysen belegen, dass ein Längsrippenheizregister mit nr = 12 radial angeordneten und segmentierten Rippen bei einer Länge von L = 83 cm den gleichen Wärmestrom vom Wasser auf die Luft überträgt wie ein konventionelles Heizregister. Die ...

Automatic Time Series Segmentation as the Basis for Unsupervised, Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring of Machine Tools
(2019)
Detailed energy monitoring and benchmarking at the individual component level is necessary to increase energy efficiency in complex production systems. Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) provides an economical solution for operational state detection and load disaggregation without the need for large-scale use of fine-grained energy meters. Existing supervised NILM approaches require detailed training data including control information about individual devices. Unsupervised approaches, on the other hand, often ...

Role of neurotransmitter GABA in the brain of the Madeira cockroach Rhyparobia maderae with focus on the circadian system
(2019-02)
All living things are subject to biological rhythms. Circadian rhythms are generated by internal clocks which influence many biochemical and physiological processes, as well as various behaviors of an organism. These oscillators are synchronized by external "Zeitgeber" signals such as light-dark changes, temperature changes, as well as social contacts. Different studies identified the accessory medulla (AME), small neuropil at the ventromedian edge of the medulla, as the circadian pacemaker center of the cockroach ...

Socio-economic aspects of irrigation agriculture as livelihood for rural families in Brazil’s semi-arid northeast
(2019-12-04)
Along the lower-middle São Francisco River, in the semi-arid region of northeast Brazil, irrigated agriculture contributes to reduce rural poverty. In the framework of the Itaparica Reservoir construction, three irrigation schemes were implemented in the Pernambuco state to compensate the local population for flooded land. Despite favourable production conditions for irrigated agriculture, many smallholders in the irrigation schemes are facing poverty. To identify socio-economic key indicators on farm income, expert ...

Gestaltung smarter persönlicher Assistenten zwischen Rechtsverträglichkeit und Dienstleistungsqualität
(Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V. (GI), 2019)
Smarte persönliche Assistenten von Amazon, Google und zahlreichen anderen Anbietern ermöglichen es, qualitativ hochwertige elektronische Dienstleistungen anzubieten. Gleichzeitig bringen diese Systeme auch viele Risiken mit sich. Berichte von diskriminierenden oder unverständlichem Systemverhalten häufen sich und verursachen Skepsis in der Gesellschaft. Diesen Problemen kann mit einer gleichermaßen rechtsverträglichen und qualitätsorientierten ITGestaltung entgegengewirkt werden. In diesem Beitrag werden Rechtsvert ...

Methodenentwicklung für die Trennung verschiedener Proteinhydrolysate in Peptidfraktionen per Crossflow Diafiltration & sensorische Bewertung der Fraktionen
(2019)
Bestimmte Peptidverbindungen besitzen Geschmacksqualitäten, welche sie für einen Einsatz in Lebensmitteln qualifizieren. Neben einer chemischen Synthese bestimmter Verbindungen können Peptide auch durch Hydrolyse intakter Proteine gewonnen werden. Zur Trennung und Aufreinigung stellt die Crossflow-Filtrationstechnik eine skalierbare Alternative zu chromatographischen Trennverfahren dar.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde ein Crossflow-Diafiltrationsverfahren unter Verwendung hydrophilisierter Polysulfon-Membranen (MWCO: ...

System efficient integration of standby control and heat pump storage systems in manufacturing processes
(2019-05-24)
Prerequisite for system efficiency towards an industrial energy transition is the reducing of energy demand on the process level. In typical manufacturing systems with machine tools and washing machines, the proper design of intelligent standby control and heat pump storage system (HPS) represent high efficiency. The integration of HPS is complicated due to high non-continuity, especially when implementing a standby control system. Our approach aims at designing one single HPS for multiple heat sources and sinks. ...

Alexa, Can You Help Me Solve That Problem? - Understanding the Value of Smart Personal Assistants as Tutors for Complex Problem Tasks
(universi - Universitätsverlag Siegen, 2019)
In recent decades, the number of students per lecturer at universities has constantly risen. In these learning scenarios, individual lecturer support for helping students actively acquiring new knowledge is hardly possible. However, active student behavior is necessary for successful learning. Smart Personal Assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa or Google’s Home promise to fill this gap by being students’ individual tutors. In order to understand what students expect from Smart Personal Assistants as tutors and how they ...
