Traffic simulations are generally used to forecast traffic behavior or to simulate non-player characters in computer games and virual environments. These systems are usually modeled in such a way that traffic rules are strictly followed. However, rule violations are a common part of real-life traffic and thus should be integrated into such models.

The device (10) has a handrail (18) provided with an optical contactless monitoring device formed as an active sensor system, where the monitoring device is arranged in a region of a guide (14) of the handrail at a front base (16) of an escalator (12) or a moving pavement. The monitoring device has two transmission paths (28, 30) with wavelength bands that are different from each other, where one of the paths includes the handrail. Ratio or difference between signals of the paths is used for recognizing foreign bodies e.g. hands of adults and children.
The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) executes the compiled bytecode version of a Java program and acts as a layer between the program and the operating system. The JVM provides additional features such as Process, Thread, and Memory Management to manage the execution of these programs. The Garbage Collection (GC) is part of the memory management and has an impact on the overall runtime performance because it is responsible for removing dead objects from the heap. Currently, the execution of a program needs to be halted during every GC run. The problem of this stop-the-world approach is that all threads in the JVM need to be suspended. It would be desirable to have a thread-local GC that only blocks the current thread and does not affect any other threads. In particular, this would improve the execution of multi-threaded Java programs. An object that is accessible by more than one thread is called escaped. It is not possible to thread-locally determine if escaped objects are still alive so that they cannot be handled in a thread-local GC. To gain significant performance improvements with a thread-local GC, it is therefore necessary to determine if it is possible to reliably predict if a given object will escape. Experimental results show that the escaping of objects can be predicted with high accuracy based on the line of code the object was allocated from. A thread-local GC was developed to minimize the number of stop-the-world GCs. The prototype implementation delivers a proof-of-concept that shows that this goal can be achieved in certain scenarios.
Issues in an issue tracking system contain different kinds of information like requirements, features, development tasks, bug reports, bug fixing tasks, refactoring tasks and so on. This information is generally accompanied by discussions or comments, which again are different kinds of information (e.g. social interaction, implementation ideas, stack traces or error messages). We propose to improve automatic categorization of this information and use the categorized data to support software engineering tasks. We want to obtain improvements in two different ways. Firstly, we want to obtain algorithmic improvements (e.g. natural language processing techniques) to retrieve and use categorized auxiliary data. Secondly we want to utilize multiple task-based categorizations to support different software engineering tasks.

Qualitätsverbesserung und Zeitersparnis bei der Stipendienvergabe durch automatisierten Workflow
(2013)
Für die Vergabe der Deutschlandstipendien hatte die Hochschule anfangs ein Verfahren festgelegt, das viel manuelle Arbeitsschritte umfasst: Die Studierenden hatten ihre Bewerbungsunterlagen schriftlich einzureichen. Dazu gehörten neben einem Motivationsschreiben, einem Ausdruck des aktuellen Notenspiegels alle weiteren Referenzen zur Einschätzung der Bewerbung gemäß den gesetzlichen Auswahlkriterien. Als Grundlage zur Bewertung der „sozialen Kriterien“ sollten die Bewerberinnen und Bewerber ein Gutachten eines Professors oder einer Professorin der Hochschule einholen.
BACKGROUND
Propionic acidemia is an inherited disorder caused by deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase. Although it is one of the most frequent organic acidurias, information on the outcome of affected individuals is still limited.
STUDY DESIGN/METHODS
Clinical and outcome data of 55 patients with propionic acidemia from 16 European metabolic centers were evaluated retrospectively. 35 patients were diagnosed by selective metabolic screening while 20 patients were identified by newborn screening. Endocrine parameters and bone age were evaluated. In addition, IQ testing was performed and the patients' and their families' quality of life was assessed.
RESULTS
The vast majority of patients (>85%) presented with metabolic decompensation in the neonatal period. Asymptomatic individuals were the exception. About three quarters of the study population was mentally retarded, median IQ was 55. Apart from neurologic symptoms, complications comprised hematologic abnormalities, cardiac diseases, feeding problems and impaired growth. Most patients considered their quality of life high. However, according to the parents' point of view psychic problems were four times more common in propionic acidemia patients than in healthy controls.
CONCLUSION
Our data show that the outcome of propionic acidemia is still unfavourable, in spite of improved clinical management. Many patients develop long-term complications affecting different organ systems. Impairment of neurocognitive development is of special concern. Nevertheless, self-assessment of quality of life of the patients and their parents yielded rather positive results.

We derive rates of convergence for limit theorems that reveal the intricate structure of the phase transitions in a mean-field version of the Blume-Emery-Griffith model. The theorems consist of scaling limits for the total spin. The model depends on the inverse temperature β and the interaction strength K. The rates of convergence results are obtained as (β,K) converges along appropriate sequences (βn,Kn) to points belonging to various subsets of the phase diagram which include a curve of second-order points and a tricritical point. We apply Stein's method for normal and non-normal approximation avoiding the use of transforms and supplying bounds, such as those of Berry-Esseen quality, on approximation error. We observe an additional phase transition phenomenon in the sense that depending on how fast Kn and βn are converging to points in various subsets of the phase diagram, different rates of convergences to one and the same limiting distribution occur.
Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency is the most common urea cycle defect. The clinical presentation in female manifesting carriers varies both in onset and severity. We report on a female with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and recurrent episodes of hyperammonemia. Since OTC activity measured in a liver biopsy sample was within normal limits, OTC deficiency was initially excluded from the differential diagnoses of hyperammonemia. Due to moderately elevated homocitrulline excretion, hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria-syndrome was suggested, but further assays in fibroblasts showed normal ornithine utilization. Later, when mutation analysis of the OTC gene became available, a known pathogenic missense mutation (c.533C>T) in exon 5 leading to an exchange of threonine-178 by methionine (p.Thr178Met) was detected. Skewed X-inactivation was demonstrated in leukocyte DNA. In the further clinical course the girl developed marked obesity. By initiating physical activities twice a week, therapeutic control of both diabetes and OTC deficiency improved, but obesity persisted. In conclusion, our case confirms that normal hepatic OTC enzyme activity measured in a single liver biopsy sample does not exclude a clinical relevant mosaic of OTC deficiency because of skewed X-inactivation. Mutation analysis of the OTC gene in whole blood may be a simple way to establish the diagnosis of OTC deficiency. The joint occurrence of OTC deficiency and diabetes in a patient has not been reported before.
Mathematische Vorkurse werden zur Vorbereitung auf das Studium allen Studienanfängerinnen und Studienanfängern der Ingenieurmathematik dringend empfohlen, aber leider fällt es immer schwerer, die Lücke zwischen den Erwartungen an die Vorkenntnisse der Studierenden und dem tatsächlichen Rüstwerkzeug der Studienanfänger/innen zu schließen. In diesem Artikel wird die Projektidee vorgestellt, im Rahmen einer Zusammenarbeit mit dem internationalen ROLE-Projekt einen mathematischen Vorkurs durch zusätzliche Elemente aus dem Bereich der Open Educational Resources sinnvoll zu ergänzen, um eine Binnendifferenzierung zu ermöglichen und den Studierenden zu erleichtern, sich in den Lehrstoff individuell einzuarbeiten.
