Along with the success of the digitally revived stereoscopic cinema, other events beyond 3D movies become attractive for movie theater operators, i.e. interactive 3D games. In this paper, we present a case that explores possible challenges and solutions for interactive 3D games to be played by a movie theater audience. We analyze the setting and showcase current issues related to lighting and interaction. Our second focus is to provide gameplay mechanics that make special use of stereoscopy, especially depth-based game design. Based on these results, we present YouDash3D, a game prototype that explores public stereoscopic gameplay in a reduced kiosk setup. It features live 3D HD video stream of a professional stereo camera rig rendered in a real-time game scene. We use the effect to place the stereoscopic effigies of players into the digital game. The game showcases how stereoscopic vision can provide for a novel depth-based game mechanic. Projected trigger zones and distributed clusters of the audience video allow for easy adaptation to larger audiences and 3D movie theater gaming.

People have dreamed of machines, which would free them from unpleasant, dull, dirty and dangerous tasks and work for them as servants, for centuries if not millennia. Service robots seem to finally let these dreams come true. But where are all these robots that eventually serve us all day long, day for day? A few service robots have entered the market: domestic and professional cleaning robots, lawnmowers, milking robots, or entertainment robots. Some of these robots look more like toys or gadgets rather than real robots. But where is the rest? This is a question, which is asked not only by customers, but also by service providers, care organizations, politicians, and funding agencies. The answer is not very satisfying. Today’s service robots have their problems operating in everyday environments. This is by far more challenging than operating an industrial robot behind a fence. There is a comprehensive list of technical and scientific problems, which still need to be solved. To advance the state of the art in service robotics towards robots, which are capable of operating in an everyday environment, was the major objective of the DESIRE project (Deutsche Service Robotik Initiative – Germany Service Robotics Initiative) funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under grant no. 01IME01A. This book offers a sample of the results achieved in DESIRE.
The relative contributions of radial and laminar optic flow to the perception of linear self-motion
(2012)
When illusory self-motion is induced in a stationary observer by optic flow, the perceived distance traveled is generally overestimated relative to the distance of a remembered target (Redlick, Harris, & Jenkin, 2001): subjects feel they have gone further than the simulated distance and indicate that they have arrived at a target's previously seen location too early. In this article we assess how the radial and laminar components of translational optic flow contribute to the perceived distance traveled. Subjects monocularly viewed a target presented in a virtual hallway wallpapered with stripes that periodically changed color to prevent tracking. The target was then extinguished and the visible area of the hallway shrunk to an oval region 40° (h) × 24° (v). Subjects either continued to look centrally or shifted their gaze eccentrically, thus varying the relative amounts of radial and laminar flow visible. They were then presented with visual motion compatible with moving down the hallway toward the target and pressed a button when they perceived that they had reached the target's remembered position. Data were modeled by the output of a leaky spatial integrator (Lappe, Jenkin, & Harris, 2007). The sensory gain varied systematically with viewing eccentricity while the leak constant was independent of viewing eccentricity. Results were modeled as the linear sum of separate mechanisms sensitive to radial and laminar optic flow. Results are compatible with independent channels for processing the radial and laminar flow components of optic flow that add linearly to produce large but predictable errors in perceived distance traveled.
The documentation requirements of data published in long term archives have significantly grown over the last decade. At WDCC the data publishing process is assisted by “Atarrabi”, a web-based workflow system for reviewing and editing metadata information by the data authors and the publication agent. The system ensures high metadata quality for long-term use of the data with persistent identifiers (DOI/URN). By these well-defined references (DOI) credit can properly be given to the data producers in any publication.
Software testing in web services environment faces different challenges in comparison with testing in traditional software environments. Regression testing activities are triggered based on software changes or evolutions. In web services, evolution is not a choice for service clients. They have always to use the current updated version of the software. In addition test execution or invocation is expensive in web services and hence providing algorithms to optimize test case generation and execution is vital. In this environment, we proposed several approach for test cases' selection in web services' regression testing. Testing in this new environment should evolve to be included part of the service contract. Service providers should provide data or usage sessions that can help service clients reduce testing expenses through optimizing the selected and executed test cases.
At previous SIAS conferences, we presented a novel opto-electronic safety sensor system for skin detection at circular saws jointly developed with the Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the German Social Accident Insurance (IFA). This work now presents the development results of our consecutive research on a prototype of a sensor system for more general production machine applications including robot workplaces. The system uses offthe shelf LEDs and photodiodes in combination with dedicated optics and a microcontroller system to implement a so-called spectral light curtain.

This paper describes adaptive time frequency analysis of EEG signals, both in theory as well as in practice. A momentary frequency estimation algorithm is discussed and applied to EEG time series of test persons performing a concentration experiment. The motivation for deriving and implementing a time frequency estimator is the assumption that an emotional change implies a transient in the measured EEG time series, which again are superimposed by biological white noise as well as artifacts. It will be shown how accurately and robustly the estimator detects the transient even under such complicated conditions.
Stellt Product Placement eine bösartige Fehlentwicklung dar oder löst es erstarrte und verkrampfte Strukturen in unserem Mediensystem?

In this work, preceramic papers containing 85 wt% Al2O3 were heat-treated at 1600 °C to obtain paper-derived ceramics. In order to increase the preceramic paper density prior to sintering, the papers were calendered at different roll temperatures and pressures. The influences of the calendering parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the preceramic papers and the paper-derived ceramics were investigated. It was expected that especially the mechanical properties of the papers and derived ceramics would be improved by calendering.
People with type 2 Diabetes have an elevated risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) for which dyslipidemia is the major contributor. Diabetic patients have characteristic pattern of dyslipidemia with decreased level of high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and elevated triglycerides (TG) level. However, in diabetes mellitus, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) which is used as one of the markers for the risk of CVD, is underestimated so in such cases the levels of non-High density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) can be a stronger predictor of CVD as it strongly correlates with atherogenic lipoproteins. Therefore, an attempt has been made to evaluate the level of non-HDL-C as a newer marker for the risk of cardiovascular disease and to fi nd out the pattern of dyslipidemia in diabetes mellitus. The present study comprised of 82 type 2 Diabetic cases and 81 non-diabetic controls. Among the diabetics, the majority of the subjects (61.0%) were HDL-C dyslipidemic. However, among the controls, the maximum numbers of individuals (40.7%) were TG dyslipidemic. Diabetics have signifi cantly elevated ratio of total cholesterol to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL-C) and the signifi cant increased levels of non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) compared to controls which can be used as markers of dyslipidemia and can also be used to predict the risk of cardiovascular disease in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
One of the most common problems in Regenerative Medicine is the regeneration of damaged bone with the aim of repairing or replacing lost or damaged bone tissue by stimulating the natural regenerative process. Particularly in the fields of orthopedic, plastic, reconstructive, maxillofacial and craniofacial surgery there is need for successful methods to restore bone. From a regenerative point of view two different bone replacement problems can be distinguished: large bone defects and small bone defects. Currently, no perfect system exists for the treatment of large bone defects.
Open Source ERP-Systeme
(2012)
Mit Free and Open Source Software können die IT-Kosten in erheblichem Umfang gesenkt werden. Wegen ihres hohen Durchdringungsgrades in Unternehmen und des damit verbundenen Kostenblocks gilt dies insbesondere für Free and Open Source (FOS-) ERP-Systeme. Zwar sind die Verbreitung und die Akzeptanz von FOS-ERP-Systemen in den letzten Jahren schon stark angewachsen, durch eine verbesserte Markttransparenz lassen sich aber noch weitere Potenziale erschließen. Bestehende Marktübersichten für FOS-ERP-Systeme sind jedoch wenig umfassend. Vor diesem Hintergrund wurde ein Marktspiegel mit detaillierten Angaben zu den verschiedenen FOS-ERP-Systemen erstellt.
ERP systems are being used throughout the whole enterprise and are therefore responsible for a high percentage of IT expenses. The use of Free and Open Source ERP systems (FOS ERP systems) can help to reduce these IT costs. Though the acceptance of FOS ERP systems has increased enormously in the last years, even more entreprises would use FOS ERP systems to support their order processing, if the FOS ERP market was more transparent. Existing market surveys are less comprehensive. Therefore, a detailed market guide was developed.
Für die Entwicklung steuerungstechnischer Sicherheitsfunktionen muss ab 2012 die Normen EN ISO 13849-1 oder EN 62061 befolgt werden, die sowohl Anforderungen an die Hardware als auch Anforderungen an die Software beschreibt. Die Anforderungen an die Software spielten bis vor einigen Jahren kaum eine Rolle, da Sicherheitsfunktionen vorzugsweise in Hardware realisiert wurden. Heutzutage ist es jedoch sehr häufig üblich, Sicherheitsfunktionen mit einer dafür geeigneten programmierbaren SPS zu realisieren. Die neuen Normen bzgl. der sicheren Steuerung von Maschinen verlangen neben der Quantifizierung der Hardware-Ausfallraten von Sicherheitsfunktionen noch ein Management der Sicherheitsfunktionen. Dazu gehört auch ein Management der Softwareentwicklung für Sicherheitsfunktionen, um systematische Fehler zu minimieren. Dieses Management der Softwareentwicklung wird im Wesentlichen durch das V-Modell repräsentiert. Für die Maschinebauindustrie darf dieser Managementprozess nicht zu aufwendig sein, ansonsten wird dieser in der Praxis nur schwer angenommen. Eine Möglichkeit der Abarbeitung des V-Modells wird vorgestellt. Wahrscheinlich ist diese aufgezeigte Möglichkeit für die Industrie noch zu aufwendig.
Jede Führungskraft hat ein bestimmtes Menschenbild, das ihre Arbeit und den Umgang mit den Mitarbeitern prägt. Diese Menschenbilder sind auch einem historischen Wandel unterworfen. Denn im Lauf der Jahrzehnte haben sich unsere Vorstellungen vom Menschen als Mitarbeiter grundlegend gewandelt. Welche Konsequenzen dieser Wandel für die Mitarbeiterführung hat, untersucht der folgende Artikel.
Anfang Januar 2007 trat in Nordrhein-Westfalen (NRW) das Hochschulfreiheitsgesetz (HFG) in Kraft. Mit dem HFG hat sich die Landesregierung in NRW weit aus der Detailsteuerung der Hochschulen zurückgezogen und tritt lediglich noch für existenzielle Schadensereignisse ein. So sind die Hochschulen – Universitäten und Fachhochschulen – in NRW keine staatlichen Einrichtungen mehr, sondern Körperschaften des öffentlichen Rechts in staatlicher Trägerschaft. Hiermit folgt das neue Hochschulgesetz dem hochschulpolitischen Paradigmenwechsel von einem staatlich geplanten, weitgehend einheitlich gestalteten System zu einem durch Profilbildung und Wettbewerb geprägten Hochschulsystem. In diesem Artikel werden die damit verbundenen Problemstellungen und Lösungsoptionen aufgezeigt und als Empfehlung die Einführung eines Chancen- und Risikomanagements beschrieben.
Nachhaltigkeitskonzepte sind kein selbstverständlicher Gegenstand der chemischen Hochschulausbildung. Der vorliegende Text fragt nach den Ursachen und zeigt anschließend Anschlussflächen für das Thema Nachhaltigkeit in der Chemieausbildung. Er stellt ein fachübergreifendes und zugleich fachbezogenes Konzept vor, welches Nachhaltigkeit zum Gegenstand für Chemiestudierende macht. Dieses ermöglicht den Studierenden einen subjektiv bedeutsamen Zugang zu den Fachinhalten. Es fördert Bewertungskompetenzen und Verantwortungsfähigkeit, schult die Sprachgewandtheit und erleichtert methodisch geführt die Reflexion auf Gegenstand und Selbstverständnis.
Handlungsspielräume zur Gestaltung nachhaltiger Mobilität werden unzulänglich genutzt. Wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse aus Gesundheit, Umwelt und Verkehr finden zögerlich Eingang in Verkehrspolitik. Konkurrenz der Ministerien für Wirtschaft, Verkehr, Umwelt und Gesundheit hindert an der Wahrnehmung der Wertschöpfung nachhaltiger Mobilität. Bemühungen um eine Entlastung der Innenstädte sind von effizienter Prävention weit entfernt, externe Kosten werden ignoriert. Biokraftstoffpflanzungen (mit Raubbau an Regenwäldern) erhöhen die Emissionen der industrialisierten Landwirtschaft und ruinieren Wasserressourcen. Diese Verschiebung in andere klimagasrelevante Produktionsbereiche verschlimmert die globalen CO2-Bilanzen. Wenige Einzelfälle sind verkehrs-ökologisch am Verursacherprinzip orientiert (z. B. in Österreich). Die WHO stellt Wissen bereit, unerwünschte Effekte vermeidbar zu machen. Über vermeidbare Gesundheitsfolgekosten (Atemwegserkrankungen, Übergewicht) liegt zwar genügend Material vor. Transdisziplinäre Betrachtungen der Wertschöpfung werden aber als nicht umsetzbar abqualifiziert.
Traditionally traffic simulations are used to predict traffic jams, plan new roads or highways, and estimate road safety. They are also used in computer games and virtual environments. There are two general concepts of modeling traffic: macroscopic and microscopic modeling. Macroscopic traffic models take vehicle collectives into account and do not consider individual vehicles. Parameters like average velocity and density are used to model the flow of traffic. In contrast, microscopic traffic models consider each vehicle individually. Therefore, vehicle specific parameters are of importance, e.g. current velocity, desired velocity, velocity difference to the lead vehicle, individual time gap.
The work presented in this paper focuses on the comparison of well-known and new techniques for designing robust fault diagnosis schemes in the robot domain. The main challenge for fault diagnosis is to allow the robot to effectively cope not only with internal hardware and software faults but with external disturbances and errors from dynamic and complex environments as well.
Mikroökonomie: Grundlagen der Wissenschaft von Märkten und Institutionen wirtschaftlichen Handelns
(2012)
Die Mikroökonomie gehört zu den Kernfächern in wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Bachelor- und Masterprogrammen. Das vorliegende Buch bietet mit vielen Beispielen und Aufgaben, beispielsweise aus den Gebieten Arbeits-, Kapital-, Versicherungs-, Güter-, und Gesundheitsmarkt, die Möglichkeit, die Theorie anzuwenden und nachzuvollziehen.
The work presented in this paper focuses on the comparison of well-known and new fault-diagnosis algorithms in the robot domain. The main challenge for fault diagnosis is to allow the robot to effectively cope not only with internal hardware and software faults but with external disturbances and errors from dynamic and complex environments as well. Based on a study of literature covering fault-diagnosis algorithms, I selected four of these methods based on both linear and non-linear models, analysed and implemented them in a mathematical robot-model, representing a four-wheels-OMNI robot. In experiments I tested the ability of the algorithms to detect and identify abnormal behaviour and to optimize the model parameters for the given training data. The final goal was to point out the strengths of each algorithm and to figure out which method would best suit the demands of fault diagnosis for a particular robot.
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are considered a promising cell source for regenerative medicine, because they have the potential to differentiate into a variety of lineages among which the mesoderm-derived lineages such adipo- or osteogenesis are investigated best. Human MSCs can be harvested in reasonable to large amounts from several parts of the patient’s body and due to this possible autologous origin, allorecognition can be avoided. In addition, even in allogenic origin-derived donor cells, hMSCs generate a local immunosuppressive microenvironment, causing only a weak immune reaction. There is an increasing need for bone replacement in patients from all ages, due to a variety of reasons such as a new recreational behavior in young adults or age-related diseases. Adipogenic differentiation is another interesting lineage, because fat tissue is considered to be a major factor triggering atherosclerosis that ultimately leads to cardiovascular diseases, the main cause of death in industrialized countries. However, understanding the differentiation process in detail is obligatory to achieve a tight control of the process for future clinical applications to avoid undesired side effects. In this review, the current findings for adipo- and osteo-differentiation are summarized together with a brief statement on first clinical trials.
Augmented Reality (AR) findet heutzutage sehr viele Anwendungsbereiche. Durch die Überlagerung von virtuellen Informationen mit der realen Umgebung eignet sich diese Technologie besonders für die Unterstützung der Benutzer bei technischen Wartungs- oder Reparaturvorgängen. Damit die virtuellen Daten korrekt mit der realen Welt überlagert werden, müssen Position und Orientierung der Kamera durch ein Trackingverfahren ermittelt werden. In dieser Arbeit wurde für diesen Zweck ein markerloses, modellbasiertes Trackingsystem implementiert. Während einer Initialisierungs-Phase wird die Kamerapose mithilfe von kalibrierten Referenzbildern, sogenannten Keyframes, bestimmt. In einer darauffolgenden Tracking-Phase wird das zu trackende Objekt weiterverfolgt. Evaluiert wurde das System an dem 1:1 Trainingsmodell des biologischen Forschungslabors Biolab, welches von der Europäischen Weltraumorganisation ESA zur Verfügung gestellt wurde.

Kaum ein Begriff ist so diskreditiert wie der der Macht. Sie wird mit Missbrauch, Willkür und Irrationalität verbunden, allein das Streben danach gilt als verdächtig. Dabei ist die regulierende und gestaltende Funktion der Macht für und in Organisationen aus dem Blick geraten, aber auch die Frage nach den Ursprüngen und den Regulativen von Macht. Das Buch untersucht diese Thematik aus der Perspektive von Wissenschaftlern verschiedener Disziplinen und von "Praktikern der Macht" aus Unternehmen und Politik.
Der richtige Umgang mit Kritik ist in vielen Unternehmen noch eine große Herausforderung. So fehlt Vorgesetzten oft jegliche Sensibilität gegenüber diesem Thema. Daher schrecken die meisten Mitarbeiter davor zurück, sich an einem kritischen Dialog im Betrieb zu beteiligen. Dabei könnten hierdurch wichtige Potenziale an Kreativität in Betrieb und Gesellschaft ausgeschöpft und deren innere Stabilität erhöht werden.
Durch eine zusammenfassende Matrix bietet das Buch im Falle von Konflikten sowohl für junge als auch schon erfahrene Mitarbeiter sowie Vorgesetzte einen Leitfaden für das eigene Verhalten. Der Autor greift hierbei neben einem geschichtlichen Rückblick auf die Erfahrungen eines langen Berufslebens in einer international tätigen Institution zurück.
IT-Radar für BPM und ERP
(2012)
Mit dem IT-Radar für BPM und ERP liegt ein Instrument zur Unterstützung der aktiven Steuerung und Validierung der IT-Strategie vor. Die ersten Ergebnisse zeigen, dass klassische Aufgaben des BMP- und ERP-Managements wie Prozessintegration nach wie vor hohe Aktualität haben und neue Themen wie die dienstliche Nutzung privater Endgeräte (BYOD - Bring Your Own Device), die Verarbeitung von sehr großen Datenmengen (Big Data) und Echtzeitverarbeitung (In-Memory Computing) zwar intensiv auf die Agenda des Chief Information Officers (CIO) drängen, aber klassische Aufgaben nicht verdrängen.

A robot (e.g. mobile manipulator) that interacts with its environment to perform its tasks, often faces situations in which it is unable to achieve its goals despite perfect functioning of its sensors and actuators. These situations occur when the behavior of the object(s) manipulated by the robot deviates from its expected course because of unforeseeable ircumstances. These deviations are experienced by the robot as unknown external faults. In this work we present an approach that increases reliability of mobile manipulators against the unknown external faults. This approach focuses on the actions of manipulators which involve releasing of an object. The proposed approach, which is triggered after detection of a fault, is formulated as a three-step scheme that takes a definition of a planning operator and an example simulation as its inputs. The planning operator corresponds to the action that fails because of the fault occurrence, whereas the example simulation shows the desired/expected behavior of the objects for the same action. In its first step, the scheme finds a description of the expected behavior of the objects in terms of logical atoms (i.e. description vocabulary). The description of the simulation is used by the second step to find limits of the parameters of the manipulated object. These parameters are the variables that define the releasing state of the object.
Using randomly chosen values of the parameters within these limits, this step creates different examples of the releasing state of the object. Each one of these examples is labelled as desired or undesired according to the behavior exhibited by the object (in the simulation), when the object is released in the state corresponded by the example. The description vocabulary is also used in labeling the examples autonomously. In the third step, an algorithm (i.e. N-Bins) uses the labelled examples to suggest the state for the object in which releasing it avoids the occurrence of unknown external faults.
The proposed N-Bins algorithm can also be used for binary classification problems. Therefore, in our experiments with the proposed approach we also test its prediction ability along with the analysis of the results of our approach. The results show that under the circumstances peculiar to our approach, N-Bins algorithm shows reasonable prediction accuracy where other state of the art classification algorithms fail to do so. Thus, N-Bins also extends the ability of a robot to predict the behavior of the object to avoid unknown external faults. In this work we use simulation environment OPENRave that uses physics engine ODE to simulate the dynamics of rigid bodies.
The criteria for assessing the quality of rubber materials are the polymer or copolymer composition and the additives. These additives include plasticizers, extender oils, carbon black, inorganic fillers, antioxidants, heat and light stabilizers, processing aids, cross-linking agents, accelerators, retarders, adhesives, pigments, smoke and flame retardants, and others. Determination of additives in polymers or copolymers generally requires the extraction of these substances from the matrix as a first step, which can be challenging, and the subsequent analysis of the extracted additives by gas chromatography (GC), GC–mass spectrometry (MS), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), HPLC–MS, capillary electrophoresis, thin-layer chromatography, and other analytical techniques. In the present work, nitrile rubber materials were studied using direct analytical flash pyrolysis hyphenated to GC and electrospray ionization MS in both scan and selected ion monitoring modes to demonstrate that this technique is a good tool to identify the organic additives in nitrile rubber.
