During exercise, heart rate has proven to be a good measure in planning workouts. It is not only simple to measure but also well understood and has been used for many years for workout planning. To use heart rate to control physical exercise, a model which predicts future heart rate dependent on a given strain can be utilized. In this paper, we present a mathematical model based on convolution for predicting the heart rate response to strain with four physiologically explainable parameters. This model is based on the general idea of the Fitness-Fatigue model for performance analysis, but is revised here for heart rate analysis. Comparisons show that the Convolution model can compete with other known heart rate models. Furthermore, this new model can be improved by reducing the number of parameters. The remaining parameter seems to be a promising indicator of the actual subject’s fitness.
Recessive mutations in the MPV17 gene cause mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome, a fatal infantile genetic liver disease in humans. Loss of function in mice leads to glomerulosclerosis and sensineural deafness accompanied with mitochondrial DNA depletion. Mutations in the yeast homolog Sym1, and in the zebra fish homolog tra cause interesting, but not obviously related phenotypes, although the human gene can complement the yeast Sym1 mutation. The MPV17 protein is a hydrophobic membrane protein of 176 amino acids and unknown function. Initially localised in murine peroxisomes, it was later reported to be a mitochondrial inner membrane protein in humans and in yeast. To resolve this contradiction we tested two new mouse monoclonal antibodies directed against the human MPV17 protein in Western blots and immunohistochemistry on human U2OS cells. One of these monoclonal antibodies showed specific reactivity to a protein of 20 kD absent in MPV17 negative mouse cells. Immunofluorescence studies revealed colocalisation with peroxisomal, endosomal and lysosomal markers, but not with mitochondria. This data reveal a novel connection between a possible peroxisomal/endosomal/lysosomal function and mitochondrial DNA depletion.
Cognitive robotics aims at understanding biological processes, though it has also the potential to improve future robotics systems. Here we show how a biologically inspired model of motor control with neural fields can be augmented with additional components such that it is able to solve a basic robotics task, that of obstacle avoidance. While obstacle avoidance is a well researched area, the focus here is on the extensibility of a biologically inspired framework. This work demonstrates how easily the biological inspired system can be used to adapt to new tasks. This flexibility is thought to be a major hallmark of biological agents.
The development of advanced robotic systems is challenging as expertise from multiple domains needs to be integrated conceptually and technically. Model-driven engineering promises an efficient and flexible approach for developing robotics applications that copes with this challenge. Domain-specific modeling allows to describe robotics concerns with concepts and notations closer to the respective problem domain. This raises the level of abstraction and results in models that are easier to understand and validate. Furthermore, model-driven engineering allows to increase the level of automation, e.g. through code generation, and to bridge the gap between modeling and implementation. The anticipated results are improved efficiency and quality of the robotics systems engineering process. Within this contribution, we survey the available literature on domain-specific modeling and languages that target core robotics concerns. In total 137 publications were identified that comply with a set of defined criteria, which we consider essential for contributions in this field. With the presented survey, we provide an overview on the state-of-the-art of domain-specific modeling approaches in robotics. The surveyed publications are investigated from the perspective of users and developers of model-based approaches in robotics along a set of quantitative and qualitative research questions. The presented quantitative analysis clearly indicates the rising popularity of applying domain-specific modeling approaches to robotics in the academic community. Beyond this statistical analysis, we map the selected publications to a defined set of robotics subdomains and typical development phases in robotic systems engineering as reference for potential users. Furthermore, we analyze these contributions from a language engineering viewpoint and discuss aspects such as the methods and tools used for their implementation as well as their documentation status, platform integration, typical use cases and the evaluation strategies used for validation of the proposed approaches. Finally, we conclude with recommendations for discussion in the model-driven engineering and robotics community based on the insights gained in this survey.
WiFi-based Long Distance (WiLD) networks have emerged as a promising alternative approach for Internet in rural areas. However, the MAC layer, which is based on the IEEE802.11 standard, comprises contiguous stations in a cell and is spatially restricted to a few hundred meters at most. In this work, we summarize efforts by different researchers to use IEEE802.11 over long-distances. In addition, we introduce WiLDToken, our solution to optimizing the throughput and fairness and reducing the delay on WiLD links. Compared to previous alternative MAC layers protocols for WiLD, our focus is on optimizing a single link in a multi-radio multi-channel mesh. We implement our protocol in the ns-3 network simulator and show thatWiLDToken is superior to an adapted version of the Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) for different link distances. We find that the throughput on a single link is close to the physical data-rate without a major decrease over longer distances.
Das Optimalziel für ein Logistiklager ist eine hohe Auslastung des Transportsystems. Es stellt sich somit die Frage nach der Auswahl der Aufträge, die gleichzeitig innerhalb des Lagers abgearbeitet werden, ohne Staus, Blockaden oder Überlastungen entstehen zu lassen. Dieser Auswahlprozess wird auch als Path-Packing bezeichnet. Diese Masterthesis untersucht das Path-Packing auf graphentheoretischer Ebene und stellt verschiedene Greedy-Heuristiken, eine Optimallösung auf Basis der Linearen Programmierung sowie einen kombinierten Ansatz gegenüber. Die Ansätze werden anhand von Messzeiten und Auslastungen unterschiedlich randomisiert erstellter Testdaten ausgewertet.
Steigende psychische Arbeitsanforderungen werden im betrieblichen Alltag zunehmend als Normalität empfunden. Trotz erhöhtem Leistungsdruck werden Arbeitspausen oftmals unregelmäßig bis gar nicht wahrgenommen, obwohl mit einer Pause eine gesteigerte Erholung und eine erhöhte Produktivität einhergehen. Der vorliegende Artikel zeigt auf, wie Arbeitspausen und deren systematische Implementierung zu einem "gesunden Unternehmen" beitragen können.
This paper presents the b-it-bots RoboCup@Work team and its current hardware and functional architecture for the KUKA youBot robot.We describe the underlying software framework and the developed capabilities required for operating in industrial environments including features such as reliable and precise navigation, flexible manipulation and robust object recognition.
We propose an artificial slime mould model (ASMM) inspired by the plasmodium of Physarum polucephalum (P. polucephalum). ASMM consists of plural slimes, and each slime shares energy via a tube with neighboring slimes. Outer slimes sense their environment and conform to it. Outer slimes periodically transmit information about their surrounding environment via a contraction wave to inner slimes. Thus, ASMM shows how slimes can sense a better environment even if that environment is not adjacent to the slimes. The slimes subsequently can move in the direction of an attractant.
Das Cutting sticks-Problem ist ein NP-vollständiges Problem mit Anwendungspotenzialen im Bereich der Logistik. Es werden grundlegende Definitionen für die Behandlung sowie bisherige Ansätze zur Lösung des Problems aufgearbeitet und durch einige neue Aussagen ergänzt. Insbesondere stehen Ideen für eine algorithmische Lösung des Problems bzw. von Varianten des Problems im Fokus.
Die Bilanzierung von Pensionsverpflichtungen hat große Auswirkungen sowohl auf das Eigenkapital eines Unternehmens als auch auf Erfolgsgrößen wie EBIT, Jahresüberschuss, Cashflow. Für die Einschätzung des Unternehmenserfolgs oder die Analyse der Kreditwürdigkeit sind die pensionsrelevanten Informationen von wesentlichem Interesse. Das Werk zeigt, wie man Pensions- und weitere Personalverpflichtungen richtig in den unterschiedlichen Rechenwerken nach handels- und steuerrechtlichen sowie internationalen Regelungen abbildet. Die Neuauflage enthält die aktuelle Rechtsprechnung und neue Richtlinien.
