Die Norm EN ISO 13849-1 stellt explizite Anforderungen an sicherheitsgerichtete SPS-Software. Wie lassen sich diese im Maschinenbau praxisgerecht umsetzen? Mit dieser Frage hat sich ein von der DGUV gefördertes und an der Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg durchgeführtes Projekt beschäftigt. Der Beitrag skizziert die Vorgehensweise zur möglichen Umsetzung der normativen Anforderungen. Diese Vorgehensweise ist unabhängig von der verwendeten Sicherheits-SPS und daher allgemein anwendbar. Es wird auf insgesamt 10 dokumentierte Beispiele und einen ausführlichen Forschungsbericht verwiesen, die downloadbar sind.
Robust Indoor Localization Using Optimal Fusion Filter For Sensors And Map Layout Information
(2014)
Sustainability is a key issue in current research activities and programs. In this conjunction three major functions of research have been identified: Basic research, knowledge reservoirs, and knowledge transfer. With regard to a transmission to the private sector, knowledge transfer is the most important factor. In this process, universities of applied sciences can play an important part as they typically have a long-standing experience in linking science and business in their teaching and research. Another important agent in the process of knowledge transfer are networks and clusters. Their strength lies integrating the different competencies of its partners and using them to a mutual benefit.
The International Centre for Sustainable Development (IZNE) – with a major focus on responsible business and sustainable food – takes the advantage of being part of a University of Applied Sciences (Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, BRSU), and being a member of several regional and international clusters and networks. These co-operations aim to establish and strengthen linkages between science and business, in particular by investigating research needs for business and business relevant research activities. Moreover, IZNE established and expanded regional and international co-operations of its own to get more transparency about regional and international value-added chains in the food sector and the issue of responsible business.
Rehabilitation wirkt
(2014)
Die medizinische Rehabilitation bildet im bundesdeutschen Gesundheitssystem eine wichtige Säule. Sie wird weltweit immer wieder als vorbildlich angesehen und ist im internationalen Vergleich mit Mitteln, Infrastruktur, Know-how und Behandlungsqualität hervorragend ausgestattet. Dies ist gut so, aber ist es gut genug?
Mit dem Projekt Pro-MINT-us hat sich die Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg erfolgreich im „Qualitätspakt Lehre“ beworben. Im Fokus steht dabei eine bessere Begleitung der Studierenden im Übergang von der Schule zur Hochschule. Mit Hilfe der Projektmittel konnten u.a. zwei Stellen geschaffen werden, die die Studierenden im Bereich „wissenschaftliches Schreiben“ unterstützen sollen.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away’. While it may be true that a balanced diet is a prerequisite for good health, how good is what we eat and drink every day? And is it actually possible to fulfil every customer desire with the vast array of foodstuffs on offer? BSE, dioxin in eggs, EHEC sprouts: in the light of repeated food safety crises, the issue of quality assurance as well as customer-oriented quality management has become of prime importance for the agri-food industry.
Business process infrastructures like BPMS (Business Process Management Systems) and WfMS (Workflow Management Systems) traditionally focus on the automation of processes predefined at design time. This approach is well suited for routine tasks which are processed repeatedly and which are described by a predefined control flow. In contrast, knowledge-intensive work is more goal and data-driven and less control-flow oriented. Knowledge workers need the flexibility to decide dynamically at run-time and based on current context information on the best next process step to achieve a given goal. Obviously, in most practical scenarios, these decisions are complex and cannot be anticipated and modeled completely in a predefined process model. Therefore, adaptive and dynamic process management techniques are necessary to augment the control-flow oriented part of process management (which is still a need also for knowledge workers) with flexible, context-dependent, goaloriented support.
The Fifth International Workshop on Domain-Specific Languages and Models for Robotic Systems (DSLRob'14) was held in conjunction with the 2014 International Conference on Simulation, Modeling, and Programming for Autonomous Robots (SIMPAR 2014), October 2014 in Bergamo, Italy. The main topics of the workshop were Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) and Model-driven Software Development (MDSD) for robotics. A domain-specific language is a programming language dedicated to a particular problem domain that offers specific notations and abstractions that increase programmer productivity within that domain. Model-driven software development offers a high-level way for domain users to specify the functionality of their system at the right level of abstraction. DSLs and models have historically been used for programming complex systems. However recently they have garnered interest as a separate field of study. Robotic systems blend hardware and software in a holistic way that intrinsically raises many crosscutting concerns (concurrency, uncertainty, time constraints, ...), for which reason, traditional general-purpose languages often lead to a poor fit between the language features and the implementation requirements. DSLs and models offer a powerful, systematic way to overcome this problem, enabling the programmer to quickly and precisely implement novel software solutions to complex problems within the robotics domain.

Die Anregungen sind für alle Akteure im Bereich der Verhütung arbeitsbedingter Gesundheitgefahren geeignet: Betriebsärzte, Sozialmediziner, Psychologen, Sicherheitsfachkräfte, Führungskräfte, Betriebsräte und sonstige Ansprechpartner, Personalverantwortliche und Sozialpädagogen.
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.
We consider the Hopfield model with n neurons and an increasing number p=p(n) of randomly chosen patterns and use Stein's method to obtain rates of convergence for the central limit theorem of overlap parameters, which holds for every fixed choice of the overlap parameter for almost all realisations of the random patterns.
It has become increasingly clear that caspases, far from being merely cell death effectors, have a much wider range of functions within the cell. These functions are as diverse as signal transduction and cytoskeletal remodeling, and caspases are now known to have an essential role in cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. There is also evidence that apoptotic cells themselves can direct the behavior of nearby cells through the caspase-dependent secretion of paracrine signaling factors. In some processes, including the differentiation of skeletal muscle myoblasts, both caspase activation in differentiating cells as well as signaling from apoptotic cells has been reported. Here, we review the non-apoptotic outcomes of caspase activity in a range of different model systems and attempt to integrate this knowledge.
Nachhaltigkeitsökonomie
(2014)
Die nachhaltige Organisation des Verkehrs soll auf kostengünstige, umweltfreundliche und nutzerfreundlichere Nahverkehrskonzepte, die möglichst viele Bürger zur Nutzung des ÖPNV einladen, abzielen. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es das Ziel dieses Beitrags, instrumentelle Ansatzpunkte für ein Nachhaltigkeitscontrolling in ÖPNV-Unternehmen aufzuzeigen. Hierzu werden nachfolgend die Berücksichtigung der Nachhaltigkeit bei Investitionsentscheidungen, das Carbon Accounting (Transparenz über CO2-Emissionen), die Integration der ökologischen, ökonomischen und sozialen Nachhaltigkeitsdimension bei der Berichterstattung und die Einbindung der genannten Instrumente in ein Managementsystem skizziert. Die Nachhaltigkeitsdimensionen Ökologie, Ökonomie und Soziales lassen sich gut mit Hilfe mehrdimensionaler, integrierter Managementsysteme in der Organisation verankern und systematisch in interne Strukturen und Prozesse einbetten. Integrierte Managementsysteme können so eine wichtige Voraussetzung für ein effizientes Nachhaltigkeitscontrolling sein.
Nachhaltigkeit aus institutionenökonomischer Perspektive am Beispiel der Schiefergasförderung
(2014)
Der Begriff der Nachhaltigkeit ist heute weit verbreitet, und seine Nutzung erstreckt sich auf alle Gesellschaftsbereiche. Als abstraktes Leitprinzip bleibt oftmals unklar, wie der Begriff definiert und ausgelegt wird. Seine Unbestimmtheit trägt zur Verwässerung und inflationären Verwendung bei. Erschwerend wirkt zusätzlich die unzureichende Trennung des politischen vom alltagssprachlichen Begriff der Nachhaltigkeit.
Mobbing

Improving data acquisition techniques and rising computational power keep producing more and larger data sets that need to be analyzed. These data sets usually do not fit into a GPU's memory. To interactively visualize such data with direct volume rendering, sophisticated techniques for problem domain decomposition, memory management and rendering have to be used. The volume renderer Volt is used to show how CUDA is efficiently utilised to manage the volume data and a GPU's memory with the aim of low opacity volume renderings of large volumes at interactive frame rates.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are matrix-degrading enzymes that are over-expressed in joints of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. However, the contribution of specific MMPs for the development of arthritic joints is unknown. This study is aimed at studying the role of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in mice, using the K/BxN serum-transfer model of RA. Arthritis was induced in Balb/c mice by injecting K/BxN serum. Development of arthritis was followed in these mice by measuring ankle thickness and clinical index score. MMP-9 expression in the joints of mice killed at various time points during the disease progression was determined by gelatin zymography using ankle lysates. We found that MMP-9 expression increased with the severity of arthritis. Importantly MMP-9 deficient mice injected with K/BxN serum showed a milder form of arthritis in comparison to the control C57BL/6 mice injected with K/BxN serum. We therefore conclude that MMP-9 promotes arthritis in mice.
