Zentrale Archivierung und verteilte Kommunikation digitaler Bilddaten in der Pneumokoniosevorsorge
(2010)
Pneumokoniose-Vorsorgeuntersuchungen erfordern die Befundung einer Röntgenthoraxaufnahme nach ILO-Staublungenklassifikation. Inzwischen werden die benötigten Aufnahmen bereits in großem Umfang digital angefertigt und kommuniziert. Hierdurch entstehen neue Anforderungen an verwendete Technik und Workflow-Mechanismen, um einen effizienten Ablauf von Untersuchung, Befundung und Dokumentation zu gewährleisten.
Ausgangspunkt der im Folgenden vorgestellten Semesterstruktur war die Umstellung der vorhandenen Diplomstudiengänge auf den Bachelor-Abschluss. Am Fachbereich werden drei grundständige Studiengänge angeboten; die technischen Studiengänge Elektrotechnik und Maschinenbau sowie der interdisziplinäre Studiengang Technikjournalismus, der den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften zuzurechnen ist. Ebenfalls sind duale Studiengänge vorhanden, die an grundständige Studiengänge angelehnt sind.
The Virtual Memory Palace
(2006)
The intention of the Virtual Memory Palace is to help people memorize information by addressing their visual memory. The concept is based on the “Memory Palace” as an ancient Greek memorization technique, where symbols are placed in a certain way within an imaginative building in order to remember the original information whenever the mind goes through the vision of this building again. The goal of this work was to create such a Memory Palace in a virtual environment, so it requires less creative effort of the contemporary learner than was necessary in ancient Greece. The Virtual Memory Palace offers the possibility to freely explore a virtual 3d architectural model and to place icons at various locations within this model. Specific behaviors were assigned to these locations to make them more memorable. To test the benefit of this concept, an experiment with 15 subjects was conducted. The results show a higher remembrance rate of items learned in the Virtual Memory Palace compared to a wordlist. The observations made during the test showed that most of the subjects enjoyed the memorization environment and were astonished how well the Virtual Memory Palace worked for them.
Technik ist heutzutage allgegenwärtig und beeinflusst Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland erwirtschaftet als Industriestaat ihr Bruttosozialprodukt zu einem bedeutenden Anteil aus der Entwicklung und Produktion von technischen Gütern. Hieran sind Personen mit unterschiedlicher Ausbildung in verschiedenen Tätigkeiten beteiligt. Ingenieure kümmern sich um die Technik, Betriebswirte um die Finanzen, Juristen um rechtliche Fragen. So zumindest die Theorie.
Simultaneous detection of cyanide and heavy metals for environmental analysis by means of µISEs
(2010)
Advances in computer graphics enable us to create digital images of astonishing complexity and realism. However, processing resources are still a limiting factor. Hence, many costly but desirable aspects of realism are often not accounted for, including global illumination, accurate depth of field and motion blur, spectral effects, etc. especially in real‐time rendering. At the same time, there is a strong trend towards more pixels per display due to larger displays, higher pixel densities or larger fields of view. Further observable trends in current display technology include more bits per pixel (high dynamic range, wider color gamut/fidelity), increasing refresh rates (better motion depiction), and an increasing number of displayed views per pixel (stereo, multi‐view, all the way to holographic or lightfield displays). These developments cause significant unsolved technical challenges due to aspects such as limited compute power and bandwidth. Fortunately, the human visual system has certain limitations, which mean that providing the highest possible visual quality is not always necessary. In this report, we present the key research and models that exploit the limitations of perception to tackle visual quality and workload alike. Moreover, we present the open problems and promising future research targeting the question of how we can minimize the effort to compute and display only the necessary pixels while still offering a user full visual experience.
Current computer architectures are multi-threaded and make use of multiple CPU cores. Most garbage collections policies for the Java Virtual Machine include a stop-the-world phase, which means that all threads are suspended. A considerable portion of the execution time of Java programs is spent in these stop-the-world garbage collections. To improve this behavior, a thread-local allocation and garbage collection that only affects single threads, has been proposed. Unfortunately, only objects that are not accessible by other threads ("do not escape") are eligible for this kind of allocation. It is therefore necessary to reliably predict the escaping of objects. The work presented in this paper analyzes the escaping of objects based on the line of code (program counter – PC) the object was allocated at. The results show that on average 60-80% of the objects do not escape and can therefore be locally allocated.
