Datenschutz und informationelle Selbstbestimmung sind Bestandteile aktueller Leitbilder einer Digitalen Bildung in der Schule. Im Kontext der Schulschließungen und der vorrangigen Nutzung digitaler Medien zeigte sich jedoch, dass Datenschutz weder als Thema noch als Gestaltungsprinzip digitaler Lernumgebungen in der bildungsadministrativen und pädagogisch-praktischen Schulwirklichkeit systematisch verankert ist. Die Diskrepanz zwischen aktuellen Leitbildern einer digitalen Bildung und der sichtbar problematischen Praxis des digitalen Notfalldistanzunterrichts markiert den Ausgangspunkt des Beitrages, der sich der übergeordneten Frage widmet, welche Herausforderungen sich bei der Realisierung von Datenschutz in der Schul- und Unterrichtswirklichkeit in einer digital geprägten Welt stellen. Im Sinne einer Problemfeldanalyse werden prototypische Handlungsprobleme der Schule herausgearbeitet. Fokussiert betrachtet werden exemplarische Herausforderungen und Anforderungen an Technologien und Akteur:innen der inneren und äußeren Schulentwicklung auf den Ebenen der Unterrichtsentwicklung, der Personalentwicklung, der Technologieentwicklung und der Organisationsentwicklung.

The continuously increasing number of biomedical scholarly publications makes it challenging to construct document recommendation algorithms that can efficiently navigate through literature. Such algorithms would help researchers in finding similar, relevant, and related publications that align with their research interests. Natural Language Processing offers various alternatives to compare publications, ranging from entity recognition to document embeddings. In this paper, we present the results of a comparative analysis of vector-based approaches to assess document similarity in the RELISH corpus. We aim to determine the best approach that resembles relevance without the need for further training. Specifically, we employ five different techniques to generate vectors representing the text in the documents. These techniques employ a combination of various Natural Language Processing frameworks such as Word2Vec, Doc2Vec, dictionary-based Named Entity Recognition, and state-of-the-art models based on BERT. To evaluate the document similarity obtained by these approaches, we utilize different evaluation metrics that account for relevance judgment, relevance search, and re-ranking of the relevance search. Our results demonstrate that the most promising approach is an in-house version of document embeddings, starting with word embeddings and using centroids to aggregate them by document.

The Sparse Matrix Vector Multiplication is an important operation on sparse matrices. This operation is the most time consuming operation in iterative solvers and therefore an efficient execution of that operation is of great importance for many applications. Numerous different storage formats that store sparse matrices efficiently have already been established. Often, these storage formats utilize the sparsity pattern of a matrix in an appropiate manner. For one class of sparse matrices the nonzero values occur in small dense blocks and appropriate block storage formats are well suited for such patterns. But on the other side, these formats perform often poor on general matrices without an explicit / regular block structure. In this paper, the newly developed sparse matrix format DynB is introduced. The aim is to efficiently use several optimization approaches and vectorization with current processors, even for matrices without an explicit block structure of nonzero elements. The DynB matrix format uses 2D rectangular blocks of variable size, allowing fill-ins per block of explicit zero values up to a user controllable threshold. We give a simple and fast heuristic to detect such 2D blocks in a sparse matrix. The performance of the Sparse Matrix Vector Multiplication for a selection of different block formats and matrices with different sparsity structures is compared. Results show that the benefit of blocking formats depend – as to be expected – on the structure of the matrix and that variable sized block formats like DynB can have advantages over fixed size formats and deliver good performance results even for general sparse matrices.
In this paper, a set of micro-benchmarks is proposed to determine basic performance parameters of single-node mainstream hardware architectures for High Performance Computing. Performance parameters of recent processors, including those of accelerators, are determined. The investigated systems are Intel server processor architectures and the two accelerator lines Intel Xeon Phi and Nvidia graphic processors. Additionally, the performance impact of thread mapping on multiprocessors and Intel Xeon Phi is shown. The results show similarities for some parameters between all architectures, but significant differences for others.
In this paper, several blocking techniques are applied to matrices that do not have a strong blocked structure. The aim is to efficiently use vectorization with current CPUs, even for matrices without an explicit block structure on nonzero elements. Different approaches are known to find fixed or variable sized blocks of nonzero elements in a matrix. We present a new matrix format for 2D rectangular blocks of variable size, allowing fill-ins per block of explicit zero values up to a user definable threshold. We give a heuristic to detect such 2D blocks in a sparse matrix. The performance of a Sparse Matrix Vector Multiplication for chosen block formats is measured and compared. Results show that the benefit of blocking formats depend – as to be expected – on the structure of the matrix and that variable sized block formats can have advantages over fixed size formats.
The cube in cube approach was used by Paul and Ishai-Cohen to model and derive formulas for filler content dependent Young's moduli of particle filled composites assuming perfect filler matrix adhesion. Their formulas were chosen because of their simplicity, and recalculated using an elementary volume approach which transforms spherical inclusions to cubic inclusions. The EV approach led to expression of the composites moduli that allows introducing an adhesion factor kadh ranging from 0 and 1 to take into account reduced filler matrix adhesion. This adhesion factor scales the edge length of the cubic inclusions, thus reducing the stress transfer area between matrix and filler. Fitting the experimental data with the modified Paul model provides reasonable kadh for PA66, PBT, PP, PE-LD and BR which are in line with their surface energies. Further analysis showed that stiffening only occurs if kadh exceeds [Formula: see text] and depends on the ratio of matrix modulus and filler modulus. The modified model allows for a quick calculation of any particle filled composites for known matrix modulus EM, filler modulus EF, filler volume content vF and adhesion factor kadh. Thus, finite element analysis (FEA) simulations of any particle filled polymer parts as well as materials selection are significantly eased. FEA of cubic and hexagonal EV arrangements show that stress distributions within the EV exhibit more shear stresses if one deviates from the cubic arrangement. At high filler contents the assumption that the property of the EV is representative for the whole composite, holds only for filler volume contents up to 15 or 20% (corresponding to 30 to 40 weight %). Thus, for vast majority of commercially available particulate composites, the modified model can be applied. Furthermore, this indicates that the cube in cube approach reaches two limits: (i) the occurrence of increasing shear stresses at filler contents above 20% due to deviations of EV arrangements or spatial filler distribution from cubic arrangements (singular), and (ii) increasing interaction between particles with the formation of particle network within the matrix violating the EV assumption of their homogeneous dispersion.
Introduction of Matrix-Filler Adhesion to Modelling of Elastic Moduli of Particulate Composites
(2022)
Cube in cube elementary volume (EV) concept serves to predict a filler-content dependent Young´s moduli of particle filled composites using moduli of a matrix EM and a filler EF. Paul and Ishai-Cohen derived formulas for composites moduli considering different load transfer boundaries in the EV assuming a complete filler-matrix adhesion. In this paper it is confirmed that their models represent the upper and lower bounds, respectively, with the respect to the experimental data. However, in vast majority of composites a filler-matrix adhesion is not complete. Therefore, an adhesion factor kadh gaining values between 0 and 1 was introduced into Paul´s model to consider the reduced adhesion as the reduction of the filler-matrix contact area for glass beads filled in polar and unpolar thermoplastic matrices as well as elastomer. The evaluation of these composite systems provides reasonable adhesion coefficients of PA66 > PBT > PP > PE-LD >> BR. It was also found that stiffening only occurs if kadh exceeds the minimum value adhesion of root square of E(M) divided by E(F). The determined kadh correspond to scanning electron microscopy observations of the composites fracture surfaces. Additionally, finite element analysis of the cubic and hexagonal arrangements of the EV show that the stress distributions are different, but they affect the calculated moduli only for the filler volume contents exceeding 20 %. The introduction of the filler-matrix adhesion provides more reliable predictions of Young´s moduli of particulate composites.

Modeling of Creep Behavior of Particulate Composites with Focus on Interfacial Adhesion Effect
(2022)
Evaluation of creep compliance of particulate composites using empirical models always provides parameters depending on initial stress and material composition. The effort spent to connect model parameters with physical properties has not resulted in success yet. Further, during the creep, delamination between matrix and filler may occur depending on time and initial stress, reducing an interface adhesion and load transfer to filler particles. In this paper, the creep compliance curves of glass beads reinforced poly(butylene terephthalate) composites were fitted with Burgers and Findley models providing different sets of time-dependent model parameters for each initial stress. Despite the finding that the Findley model performs well in a primary creep, the Burgers model is more suitable if secondary creep comes into play; they allow only for a qualitative prediction of creep behavior because the interface adhesion and its time dependency is an implicit, hidden parameter. As Young’s modulus is a parameter of these models (and the majority of other creep models), it was selected to be introduced as a filler content-dependent parameter with the help of the cube in cube elementary volume approach of Paul. The analysis led to the time-dependent creep compliance that depends only on the time-dependent creep of the matrix and the normalized particle distance (or the filler volume content), and it allowed accounting for the adhesion effect. Comparison with the experimental data confirmed that the elementary volume-based creep compliance function can be used to predict the realistic creep behavior of particulate composites.
The development of robot control programs is a complex task. Many robots are different in their electrical and mechanical structure which is also reflected in the software. Specific robot software environments support the program development, but are mainly text-based and usually applied by experts in the field with profound knowledge of the target robot. This paper presents a graphical programming environment which aims to ease the development of robot control programs. In contrast to existing graphical robot programming environments, our approach focuses on the composition of parallel action sequences. The developed environment allows to schedule independent robot actions on parallel execution lines and provides mechanism to avoid side-effects of parallel actions. The developed environment is platform-independent and based on the model-driven paradigm. The feasibility of our approach is shown by the application of the sequencer to a simulated service robot and a robot for educational purpose.
