The Helmholtz Association funded the "Large-Scale Data Management and Analysis" portfolio theme from 2012-2016. Four Helmholtz centres, six universities and another research institution in Germany joined to enable data-intensive science by optimising data life cycles in selected scientific communities. In our Data Life cycle Labs, data experts performed joint R and D together with scientific communities. The Data Services Integration Team focused on generic solutions applied by several communities.

In Bezug auf Anwendungen in der Allgemeinbeleuchtung befasst sich diese Arbeit mit der Nutzung natürlicher Vorbilder für die Wärmeabfuhr von LEDs, deren Umsetzung in ein vollständiges LED-System und letztendlich dessen Herstellung. So entsteht ein Beleuchtungssystem welches eine hohe technische Leistungsfähigkeit in Verbindung mit einem hohen ästhetischen Wert darstellt und Beispiel für die Entwicklung unterschiedlichster LED-Systeme sein kann. In terms of general lighting applications, this work deals with the use of natural models for the heat dissipation of LEDs, their implementation into a complete LED system and ultimately its manufacturing. The result is a lighting system that represents a high technical performance in conjunction with a high aesthetic value that can be an example for the development of different LED systems.

Verwaiste Werke können kulturell erwünschte Nutzungen vorbestehender Inhalte verhindern. Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich grundlegend mit diesem Problem. Die internationalen Entwicklungen werden nachgezeichnet, verschiedene Lösungsansätze werden dargestellt. Konkret wird darauf eingegangen, wie die deutsche Regelung (§§ 61 ff. UrhG) es nicht nur ermöglicht vorbestehende Inhalte besser zu nutzen, sondern auch gestaltend auf die Urheberrechtspraxis einzuwirken. Orphan works can prevent the culturally desirable use of pre-existing content. This work treats the problem in a fundamental way. It describes the international developments and different approaches to solving the problem. Specifically, it discusses, how the German regulation (§§ 61 ff. UrhG) not only allows the better use of pre-existing content, but also how it makes it possible to influence copyright practice.

This comprehensive book provides in-depth knowledge and understanding of design rules according to Eurocode 5. It is based on the first edition of the STEP (Structural Timber Education Programme) series, which was prepared in 1995 by about 50 authors from 14 European countries. The present work updates and extends the STEP compilation and is aimed at students, structural engineers and other timber structure professionals.

This work introduces a novel wireless approach for the data transmission within automotive battery management systems. The main target is the reduction of the wiring harness deployed in a battery. The characteristics of the wireless in-battery channel are investigated by means of measurements and software-based electromagnetic simulations. Different types of antennas and frequency bands are analyzed. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated by means of simulations and prototypes.

This work provides new insights into macro- and microphysical properties of Arctic mixed-phase clouds: first, by comparing semi-idealized large eddy simulations with observations; second, by dissecting the influences of different surface types and boundary layer structures on Arctic mixed- phase clouds; third, by elucidating the dissipation process; and finally by analyzing the main microphysical processes inside Arctic mixed-phase clouds.

The annual report of the Institute for Nuclear and Energy Technologies of KIT summarizes its research activities and provides some highlights of each working group, like thermal-hydraulic analyses for nuclear fusion reactors, accident analyses for light water reactors, and research on innovative energy technologies: liquid metal technologies for energy conversion, hydrogen technologies and geothermal power plants. The institute has been engaged in education and training in energy technologies.

This book enhances economic methods for social cost-benefit analysis of air pollution control measures at point emission sources. A new and highly resolved health damage cost assessment framework is developed and applied, notably in order to evaluate the influence of site-dependent and generic methodological choices. Several of these are shown to have a major impact on resulting health damage costs with important implications for decision-making.

Hot stamping is a hot drawing process which takes advantage of the polymorphic steel behavior to produce parts with a good strength-to-weight ratio. For the simulation of the hot stamping process, a nonlinear two-scale thermomechanical model is suggested and implemented into the FE tool ABAQUS. Phase transformation and transformation induced plasticity effects are taken into account. The simulation results regarding the final shape and residual stresses are compared to experimental findings.

Derzeit eingesetzte Kommunikationssatelliten erlauben es nicht, flexibel auf veränderte Anforderungen zu reagieren. In dieser Arbeit werden die theoretischen und praktischen Grundlagen gelegt, um den Frequenzplan des Ausgangsmultiplexers flexibel einstellbar zu machen. Insbesondere können auf Basis der hier durchgeführten Untersuchungen erstmals mehrkanalige, sammelschienenbasierte Multiplexer während der Lebenszeit des Satelliten im Orbit in Mittenfrequenz und Bandbreite eingestellt werden. Generally, communication satellites do not allow to flexibly react to changes in demand. This work presents theoretical and practical principles allowing to flexibly reconfigure the frequency plan of an output multiplexer. Particularly, based on the investigations performed in this work for the first time it is possible to realize manifold-based multiplexers with multiple channels which can be reconfigured in orbit for both center frequency and bandwidth during the life-time of the satellite.
