The Potential of Sustainable Antimicrobial Additives for Food Packaging from Native Plants in Benin
(2019)
Background & Objective: Due to the policy goals for sustainable energy production, renewable energy plants such as photovoltaics are increasingly in use. The energy production from solar radiation depends strongly on atmospheric conditions. As the weather mostly changes, electrical power generation fluctuates, making technical planning and control of power grids to a complex problem. Due to used materials (semiconductors e.g. silicon, gallium arsenide, cadmium telluride) the photovoltaic cells are spectrally selective. It means that only radiation of certain wavelengths converts into electrical energy. A material property called spectral response characterizes a certain degree of conversion of solar radiation into the electric current for each wavelength of solar light.
Energy Profiles of the Ring Puckering of Cyclopentane, Methylcyclopentane and Ethylcyclopentane

The need for innovation around the control functions of inverters is great. PV inverters were initially expected to be passive followers of the grid and to disconnect as soon as abnormal conditions happened. Since future power systems will be dominated by generation and storage resources interfaced through inverters these converters must move from following to forming and sustaining the grid. As “digital natives” PV inverters can also play an important role in the digitalisation of distribution networks. In this short review we identified a large potential to make the PV inverter the smart local hub in a distributed energy system. At the micro level, costs and coordination can be improved with bidirectional inverters between the AC grid and PV production, stationary storage, car chargers and DC loads. At the macro level the distributed nature of PV generation means that the same devices will support both to the local distribution network and to the global stability of the grid. Much success has been obtained in the former. The later remains a challenge, in particular in terms of scaling. Yet there is some urgency in researching and demonstrating such solutions. And while digitalisation offers promise in all control aspects it also raises significant cybersecurity concerns.
Process-dependent thermo-mechanical viscoelastic properties and the corresponding morphology of HDPE extrusion blow molded (EBM) parts were investigated. Evaluation of bulk data showed that flow direction, draw ratio, and mold temperature influence the viscoelastic behavior significantly in certain temperature ranges. Flow induced orientations due to higher draw ratio and higher mold temperature lead to higher crystallinities. To determine the local viscoelastic properties, a new microindentation system was developed by merging indentation with dynamic mechanical analysis. The local process-structure-property relationship of EBM parts showed that the cross-sectional temperature distribution is clearly reflected by local crystallinities and local complex moduli. Additionally, a model to calculate three-dimensional anisotropic coefficients of thermal expansion as a function of the process dependent crystallinity was developed based on an elementary volume unit cell with stacked layers of amorphous phase and crystalline lamellae. Good agreement of the predicted thermal expansion coefficients with measured ones was found up to a temperature of 70 °C.
Synthesis of Substituted Hydroxyapatite for Application in Bone Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery
(2019)
It is shown that the electrochemical kinetics of alkaline methanol oxidation can be reduced by setting certain fast reactions contained in it to a steady state. As a result, the underlying system of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE) is transformed to a system of Differential-Algebraic Equations (DAE). We measure the precision characteristics of such transformation and discuss the consequences of the obtained model reduction.
The paper presents the topological reduction method applied to gas transport networks, using contraction of series, parallel and tree-like subgraphs. The contraction operations are implemented for pipe elements, described by quadratic friction law. This allows significant reduction of the graphs and acceleration of solution procedure for stationary network problems. The algorithm has been tested on several realistic network examples. The possible extensions of the method to different friction laws and other elements are discussed.
Pseudopotential (PP)-basierte Lattice-Boltzmann-Methoden werden zunehmend für die Simulation von Mehrphasenströmungen eingesetzt. Da sie auf einem phänomenologischen Ansatz basieren, ist ihr Einsatz mit einem hohen Modellierungsaufwand verbunden. Zudem entstehen an den Phasengrenzen sogenannte Scheingeschwindigkeiten, welche Genauigkeit und numerische Stabilität beeinträchtigen. Daher werden PP-Modelle in dieser Arbeit um drei neue Aspekte erweitert. Erstens wird gezeigt, dass bei der Modellierung unterschiedlicher Kontaktwinkel mit gängigen Methoden in Kombination mit verbesserten Kräfteschemata Scheintröpfchen entstehen. Diese werden durch einen neuartigen Ansatz eliminiert, der auf zusätzlichen Randbedingungen für alle Wechselwirkungskräfte basiert. Diese Technik verhindert nicht nur das Auftreten der Scheintröpfchen, sondern erhöht auch die Stabilität in wandgebundenen Strömungen. Zweitens wird ein neuartiges Verfahren zur Reduktion von Scheingeschwindigkeiten eingeführt. Dabei wird die Diskretisierung der Interaktionskräfte erweitert und die zusätzlichen, freien Koeffizienten in Simulationen statischer Tropfen numerisch optimiert. Die resultierende Diskretisierung wurde in Simulationen stationärer und dynamischer Testfälle validiert, wobei Scheingeschwindigkeiten deutlich reduziert werden konnten. Drittens und letztens wurden die Diffusionseigenschaften in Mehrstoffsystemen detailliert untersucht, wobei eine kritische Abhängigkeit zwischen den makroskopischen Diffusionskoeffizienten und dem Kräfteschema aufgezeigt wird. Diese Analyse bildet die Grundlage für den Vergleich und die zukünftige Entwicklung neuer Potentialfunktionen (für Mehrstoffsysteme) und reduziert den Modellierungsaufwand.
Surrogate models are used to reduce the burden of expensive-to-evaluate objective functions in optimization. By creating models which map genomes to objective values, these models can estimate the performance of unknown inputs, and so be used in place of expensive objective functions. Evolutionary techniques such as genetic programming or neuroevolution commonly alter the structure of the genome itself. A lack of consistency in the genotype is a fatal blow to data-driven modeling techniques: interpolation between points is impossible without a common input space. However, while the dimensionality of genotypes may differ across individuals, in many domains, such as controllers or classifiers, the dimensionality of the input and output remains constant. In this work we leverage this insight to embed differing neural networks into the same input space. To judge the difference between the behavior of two neural networks, we give them both the same input sequence, and examine the difference in output. This difference, the phenotypic distance, can then be used to situate these networks into a common input space, allowing us to produce surrogate models which can predict the performance of neural networks regardless of topology. In a robotic navigation task, we show that models trained using this phenotypic embedding perform as well or better as those trained on the weight values of a fixed topology neural network. We establish such phenotypic surrogate models as a promising and flexible approach which enables surrogate modeling even for representations that undergo structural changes.
Are quality diversity algorithms better at generating stepping stones than objective-based search?
(2019)
The route to the solution of complex design problems often lies through intermediate "stepping stones" which bear little resemblance to the final solution. By greedily following the path of greatest fitness improvement, objective-based search overlooks and discards stepping stones which might be critical to solving the problem. Here, we hypothesize that Quality Diversity (QD) algorithms are a better way to generate stepping stones than objective-based search: by maintaining a large set of solutions which are of high-quality, but phenotypically different, these algorithms collect promising stepping stones while protecting them in their own "ecological niche". To demonstrate the capabilities of QD we revisit the challenge of recreating images produced by user-driven evolution, a classic challenge which spurred work in novelty search and illustrated the limits of objective-based search. We show that QD far outperforms objective-based search in matching user-evolved images. Further, our results suggest some intriguing possibilities for leveraging the diversity of solutions created by QD.
