However, when these materials are processed using PBF-LB, the standard heat treatments developed for conventional manufacturing routes do not consistently yield predictable microstructures or mechanical properties. Thus, this study analyzes how PBF-LB affects the microstructure and mechanical behavior of Inconel alloy X-750 when compared to a hot-rolled counterpart after undergoing a standard precipitation-hardening heat treatment (solution annealing, stabilization, and precipitation). Microstructure is examined using analytical electron microscopy and high-energy X-ray diffraction, while mechanical behavior is assessed through microhardness. Significant differences between both manufacturing routes are detected, so that PBF-LB processing led to an increase in grain size, anisotropy, fraction of low-angle grain boundaries, mean angle of misorientation, and dislocation density. Moreover, PBF-LB promoted the formation of γ′-Ni3(Al,Ti) and η-Ni3Ti phases during solution annealing and stabilization, respectively. Notably, the formation of γ′ contributes to an anomalous microhardness increase observed between these steps. These findings suggest that PBF-LB may inhibit recrystallization and facilitate precipitation during heat treatment, thereby affecting the performance of components produced using this technology.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{WurstBalasubramanianBotschetal.2021, author = {Wurst, Jonas and Balasubramanian, Lakshman and Botsch, Michael and Utschick, Wolfgang}, title = {Novelty Detection and Analysis of Traffic Scenario Infrastructures in the Latent Space of a Vision Transformer-Based Triplet Autoencoder}, publisher = {arXiv}, address = {Ithaca}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2105.01924}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @unpublished{BauderPaulaPfeilschifteretal.2023, author = {Bauder, Maximilian and Paula, Daniel and Pfeilschifter, Claus and Petermeier, Franziska and Kubjatko, Tibor and Riener, Andreas and Schweiger, Hans-Georg}, title = {Influences of Vehicle Communication on Human Driving Reactions: A Simulator Study on Reaction Times and Behavior for Forensic Accident Analysis}, titleParent = {SSRN}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, doi = {https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4588275}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WeiJiangChanetal.2026, author = {Wei, Zixiang and Jiang, Yunruo and Chan, Pak Hung and Wang, Yiting and Poledna, Yuri and Donzella, Valentina}, title = {Darwick: A Paired Dataset in Low-Light Driving Scenarios for Advanced Perceptual Enhancement and Benchmarking Assessment}, booktitle = {2024 IEEE 27th International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway}, isbn = {979-8-3315-0592-9}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/ITSC58415.2024.11414063}, year = {2026}, language = {en} } @inbook{BauerGleissnerKotonski2025, author = {Bauer, Ingrid and Gleissner, Christian and Kotonski, Julia}, title = {On Rigid Manifolds of Kodaira Dimension 1}, booktitle = {Perspectives on Four Decades of Algebraic Geometry, Volume 1: In Memory of Alberto Collino}, editor = {Albano, Alberto and Aluffi, Paolo and Bolognesi, Michele and Casagrande, Cinzia and Colombo, Elisabetta and Conte, Alberto and Grassi, Antonella and Pedrini, Claudio and Pirola, Gian Pietro and Verra, Alessandro}, publisher = {Birkh{\"a}user}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-031-66229-4}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-66230-0_2}, pages = {43 -- 71}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @article{LangerTentrupSchweiger2026, author = {Langer, Robin and Tentrup, Thomas and Schweiger, Hans-Georg}, title = {A Vehicle-in-the-Loop Approach for Front Camera Verification Using Adaptive High Beam}, journal = {IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation Systems}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {New York}, issn = {2687-7813}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/OJITS.2026.3672438}, year = {2026}, abstract = {As automated driving functions based on environmental sensors become increasingly deployed, ensuring reliable performance over the vehicle lifetime is essential. Currently, verification is carried out through internal self-diagnostics, which do not always operate correctly, and periodic technical inspection, which assesses only the test criteria installation and condition. Test criteria for function and efficiency of environmental sensors are neither standardized nor routinely assessed, creating the need for new testing approaches. Previous low-cost research approaches defined a method and conducted experiments to verify a vehicle's front camera by displaying visual stimuli and evaluating the high beam assist response. Whereas the camera's function could be verified through a basic qualitative check, the approach did not enable a quantitative evaluation of its performance. The aim of this work was therefore to advance this approach and investigate the added value of a Vehicle-in-the-Loop test bench for front camera verification. Three tests were conducted. A supporting method was introduced to reproducibly detect and define the position of the headlight cutoff line, enabling consistent evaluation of the vehicle's reaction. With static camera stimuli (Test I), the function of the front camera could be verified, and the influence of the vehicle geometry on the reaction was assessed. Dynamic stimuli (Test II) additionally enabled an efficiency evaluation, allowing quantitative comparison between vehicles. However, transferring the stimuli into a reproducible virtual simulation (Test III) remained challenging, as the vehicles under test did not respond consistently. Further research is required to refine and simplify the method toward a standardized periodic technical inspection procedure.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BanerjeeGoschHesteretal.2026, author = {Banerjee, Sweta and Gosch, Timo and Hester, Sara and Weiss, Viktoria and Conrad, Thomas and Donovan, Taryn and Porsche, Nils and Ammeling, Jonas and Stroblberger, Christoph and Klopfleisch, Robert and Kaltenecker, Christopher and Bertram, Christof and Breininger, Katharina and Aubreville, Marc}, title = {Enabling Fast and Mobile Histopathology Image Annotation through Swipeable Interfaces SWAN}, booktitle = {Bildverarbeitung f{\"u}r die Medizin 2026: Proceedings, German Conference on Medical Image Computing, L{\"u}beck, March 15-17, 2026}, editor = {Handels, Heinz and Breininger, Katharina and Deserno, Thomas Martin and Maier, Andreas and Maier-Hein, Klaus H. and Palm, Christoph and Tolxdorff, Thomas}, publisher = {Springer Vieweg}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-51100-5}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-658-51100-5_42}, pages = {203 -- 209}, year = {2026}, language = {en} } @article{GoebelMertensRiener2026, author = {G{\"o}bel, Jan-Philipp and Mertens, Jan Cedric and Riener, Andreas}, title = {Thermal imaging for the detection of driver impairment: evidence from a high-fidelity driving simulator study}, journal = {Traffic Injury Prevention}, publisher = {Taylor \& Francis}, address = {Philadelphia}, issn = {1538-9588}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1080/15389588.2026.2624006}, year = {2026}, abstract = {Objectives Driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) remains a major contributor to fatal traffic crashes worldwide. With increasing regulatory pressure, such as requirements by Euro NCAP for in-vehicle impairment detection, there is a growing need for reliable, real-time monitoring solutions. While traditional DUI detection approaches focus on driving behavior or eye movement analysis, this study explores the potential of thermal imaging as a noninvasive alternative for detecting alcohol impairment. Methods We conducted a large-scale experimental study with 120 participants in a high-fidelity driving simulator, capturing thermal facial data under both non-impaired and alcohol-impaired conditions. A novel temperature extraction method was developed based on facial landmarks, incorporating multiple frames to reduce noise and improve temporal stability. Ambient cabin temperature was also recorded to normalize facial temperature readings and control for environmental influences. Several machine learning classifiers, including Logistic Regression, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Gradient-Boosting Models, were trained using five facial temperature features (cheek, temple, ear, forehead, and nasal tip) and evaluated via five-fold subject-wise cross-validation. Results Significant temperature changes were observed in specific facial regions (particularly the cheek, ear, temple, and nasal tip) under alcohol influence. Among the evaluated models, Logistic Regression achieved the highest average classification accuracy (62\%), while SVM demonstrated the most stable performance across folds. The model showed a slight conservative bias toward predicting the baseline (non-impaired) class, thereby reducing the risk of false positive classifications. Environmental conditions, including cabin temperature, were verified to be stable across both driving sessions, ensuring the validity of the physiological measurements. Conclusions This study demonstrates the feasibility of using thermal imaging for in-vehicle DUI detection under realistic conditions. Our contributions include the development of a robust facial temperature processing pipeline, the creation of a unique dataset collected under ecologically valid conditions, and a comprehensive comparison of seven state-of-the-art classification models.

Also, there has been growing interest in the molecular characterization of mitosis to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of its underlying mechanisms in a subphase-specific manner.

However, collaboration between human experts and AI may give rise to cognitive biases, such as automation and anchoring bias, wherein users may be inclined to blindly adopt system recommendations or be disproportionately influenced by the presence of AI predictions, even when they are inaccurate. These biases may be exacerbated under time pressure, pervasive in routine pathology diagnostics, or shaped by individual user characteristics. To investigate these effects, we conducted a web-based experiment in which trained pathology experts (n = 28) estimated tumor cell percentages twice: once independently and once with the aid of an AI. A subset of the estimates in each condition was performed under time constraints. Our findings indicate that AI integration generally enhances diagnostic performance. However, it also introduced a 7\% automation bias rate, quantified as the number of accepted negative consultations, where a previously correct independent assessment gets overturned by inaccurate AI guidance. While time pressure did not increase the frequency of automation bias occurrence, it appeared to intensify its severity, as evidenced by a performance decline linked to increased automation reliance under cognitive load. A linear mixed-effects model (LMM) analysis, simulating weighted averaging, revealed a statistically significant positive coefficient for AI advice, indicating a moderate degree of anchoring on system output. This effect was further intensified under time pressure, suggesting that anchoring bias may become more pronounced when cognitive resources are limited. A secondary LMM evaluation assessing automation reliance, used as a proxy for both automation and anchoring bias, demonstrated that professional experience and self-efficacy were associated with reduced dependence on system support, whereas higher confidence during AI-assisted decision-making was linked to increased automation reliance. Together, these findings underscore the dual nature of AI integration in clinical workflows, offering performance benefits while also introducing risks of cognitive bias-driven diagnostic errors. As an initial investigation focused on a single medical specialty and diagnostic task, this study aims to lay the groundwork for future research to explore these phenomena across diverse clinical contexts, ultimately supporting the establishment of appropriate reliance on automated systems and the safe, effective integration of human-AI collaboration in medical decision-making.}, language = {en} } @article{RappsilberKruegerRaspeetal.2026, author = {Rappsilber, Tim and Kr{\"u}ger, Simone and Raspe, Tina and Reclo, Rudolf and Schweiger, Hans-Georg}, title = {Toxic gas emission in electric vehicles: What a battery fire means for occupant safety}, volume = {2026}, pages = {104717}, journal = {Fire Safety Journal}, number = {162}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {New York}, issn = {1873-7226}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.firesaf.2026.104717}, year = {2026}, abstract = {This work investigates the ability of occupants to escape from a battery electric vehicle during a thermal runaway of the traction battery initiated by nail penetration.

Using FTIR spectrometers and an oxygen analyzer, temporal and spatial concentrations of organic carbonates, hydrocarbons, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen cyanide, acetylene, and oxygen are measured. Sampling locations include the driver's breathing zone, the right rear passenger's breathing zone, and the exterior right rear wheel housing. The study further evaluates occupant's escape capability using the fractional effective dose (FED) model in accordance with ISO 13571. Results show that toxic gases can reach harmful concentrations within minutes after smoke enters the cabin, though smoke entry times vary widely with fire progression.

Cognitive crafting—the process of reframing how one interprets their work—can enhance meaningful work and well-being. However, strategies to effectively promote it remain unclear. Building on positive psychology interventions, self-determination theory, and job crafting theory, we developed a brief online intervention using meaning-based reflection and cognitive reframing. Its effectiveness was evaluated in a pre-registered randomized controlled trial ( N = 260) with an active control group, assessing outcomes post-intervention and at one-month follow-up. Compared to the control group, the intervention group reported significantly higher levels of meaningful work, work engagement, and job satisfaction.

Especially high-strength and heat-resistant Al alloys are in high demand for aerospace and motorsports applications, but the processability of these alloys remains critical due to hot-cracking along columnar grains. Therefore, the microstructural control of PBF-LB alloys is under increasing consideration. Al-Cr alloys have shown promising high-temperature properties and good processability in previous studies despite having a coarse and fully columnar grain structure. In this study, Al-Cr-Mo-Sc-Zr alloys with different compositions are subjected to phase analysis to understand the transition from fully columnar to bimodal grain structures. Synchrotron diffraction, electron dispersive spectroscopy, and atom probe tomography results have shown that three phases are present, irrespective of the alloys' composition: 𝛼-Al, Al45Cr7, and Al3(Sc,Zr). The introduction of Cr increases the lattice mismatch between 𝛼-Al and Al3(Sc,Zr) and is suspected to hinder grain refinement by Sc and Zr. Various thermodynamic simulations revealed the effect of grain refining elements (Sc+Zr) and Cr on the solidification path. The combination of simulation and experimental investigations led to three hypotheses on the columnar to bimodal transition in Al-Cr alloys. These results will help to further enable the microstructural control of PBF-LB processed alloys.}, language = {en} } @article{NgetunyBaldaufZoerner2026, author = {Ngetuny, Joshua Kiplagat and Baldauf, Tobias and Z{\"o}rner, Wilfried}, title = {Evaluating Feedstock Pretreatment Methods to Unlock Co-Digestion in Small-Scale Biogas Systems: A Multi-Criteria Approach to System Integration and Decision Making}, volume = {19}, pages = {1303}, journal = {Energies}, number = {5}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {1996-1073}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3390/en19051303}, year = {2026}, abstract = {Small-scale biogas plants in developing countries present a viable alternative to traditional polluting energy sources, particularly in rural and underserved communities. These systems typically rely on locally sourced livestock manure; however, inconsistent supply often results in underfeeding, reduced biogas production, and, in many cases, system abandonment. Co-digestion with crop residues presents a promising strategy to enhance feedstock availability and system resilience. However, the recalcitrant nature of lignocellulosic biomass and limited access to suitable pretreatment technologies have constrained its adoption. This paper evaluates feasible pretreatment methods for integrating crop residues, especially straw, into small-scale biogas systems. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), pretreatment methods are assessed based on five criteria: (i) technology simplicity, (ii) energy requirements, (iii) capital and operational costs, (iv) effectiveness, and (v) environmental impact. The analysis identifies microbial pretreatment using the liquid fraction of digestate, combined with mechanical size reduction, as the most suitable approach for small-scale implementation, utilizing low-cost, simplified mechanical devices adaptable to various crop residues with minimal energy input. A conceptual design of a demonstration plant is proposed to validate this integrated pretreatment approach and assess its impact on biogas yield, system performance, and technology adoption. The design incorporates an on-site digestate separation unit to supply microbial inoculum and emphasizes simplicity and cost-effectiveness in material handling and energy use. Pilot trials are proposed to evaluate key performance indicators, including specific methane yield (LCH4/gVS added), volatile solids reduction (\%), and methane content increase (\%), ensuring evidence-based adoption and practical applicability of the design.}, language = {en} } @article{MionBonfantiSimeonietal.2021, author = {Mion, Giorgio and Bonfanti, Angelo and Simeoni, Francesca and Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, title = {Rethinking occupational welfare policies in long-term care organisations during the COVID-19 pandemic: an organisational ethics approach}, volume = {13}, pages = {116216}, journal = {International Journal of Managerial and Financial Accounting}, number = {1}, publisher = {Inderscience}, address = {Olney}, issn = {1753-6715}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1504/IJMFA.2021.116216}, pages = {48 -- 63}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{MionLozaAdauiBonfanti2021, author = {Mion, Giorgio and Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando and Bonfanti, Angelo}, title = {Characterizing the mission statements of benefit corporations: Empirical evidence from Italy}, volume = {30}, journal = {Business Strategy and the Environment}, number = {4}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {New York}, issn = {0964-4733}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1002/bse.2738}, pages = {2160 -- 2172}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{MionLozaAdaui2020, author = {Mion, Giorgio and Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, title = {Understanding the purpose of benefit corporations: an empirical study on the Italian case}, volume = {5}, pages = {4}, journal = {International Journal of Corporate Social Responsibility}, number = {1}, publisher = {SpringerOpen}, address = {Cham}, issn = {2366-0066}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1186/s40991-020-00050-6}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Rethinking the traditional understanding of organizational purpose appears to be necessary. A teleological paradigm shift seems to be on its way, changing the focus of attention from considering business organizations as instruments used to generate profits toward a more comprehensive understanding of their purpose and of the benefit they can create for society. Recently, new organizational entities have emerged, accompanied by the renewal of institutional frameworks, among them are benefit corporations. Italy was the first European country to introduce a legal framework to define the benefit corporation as a particular legal entity. The Italian law on the benefit corporations proposes the promotion of firms that pursue the generation of benefit in a responsible, sustainable, and transparent way and considering diverse stakeholders. This paper explores and describes the multidimensional understanding of benefit and purpose of Italian benefit corporations, utilizing qualitative and quantitative content analysis of 94 Italian benefit corporations' purpose declarations, and providing a deep insight into the purpose declared by benefit corporations. The research highlights a certain vagueness in public declarations of the purpose of benefit corporations, even though it is clear that they attempt to differentiate themselves from traditional businesses by focusing on social objectives more than on economic ones. Furthermore, normative compliance emerged, but further normative requirements seem to be needed to make more effective the transformative potentiality of benefit corporations and to avoid risks of opportunistic behaviors.}, language = {en} } @article{LozaAdaui2020, author = {Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, title = {Sustainability Reporting Quality of Peruvian Listed Companies and the Impact of Regulatory Requirements of Sustainability Disclosures}, volume = {12}, pages = {1135}, journal = {Sustainability}, number = {3}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2071-1050}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3390/su12031135}, year = {2020}, abstract = {Regulations establishing mandatory sustainability reporting practices are proliferating around the world. The empirical evidence comparing sustainability reporting quality (SRQ) in the context of mandatory and voluntary institutional frameworks does not show consensus. Similarly, this occurs with studies addressing the effects of regulatory shocks on SRQ. Moreover, empirical evidence addressing SRQ in Latin American countries is scarce. To fill this gap, this study aims to explore the consequences of introducing new regulatory requirements for sustainability disclosure on SRQ of Peruvian companies. To reach that goal, 81 sustainability disclosure documents published between 2014 and 2016 by 27 companies included in the S\&P/BVL Peru General Index of Lima's Stock Exchange were analyzed using qualitative content analysis methods and adopting a multidimensional approach for SRQ evaluation. The findings show a constant improvement of SRQ regardless of the introduction of the new regulatory requirements. Furthermore, after the entry into force of new sustainability reporting obligations, the number of companies providing third-party independent assurance of the information contained in their sustainability disclosure documents decreases, suggesting that for the Peruvian case, regulatory requirements tend to discourage companies to invest in the credibility of their sustainability disclosure documents, and promote a symbolic application of sustainability disclosure standards.}, language = {en} } @article{MionLozaAdaui2019, author = {Mion, Giorgio and Loza Adaui, Cristian Rolando}, title = {Mandatory Nonfinancial Disclosure and Its Consequences on the Sustainability Reporting Quality of Italian and German Companies}, volume = {11}, pages = {4612}, journal = {Sustainability}, number = {17}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, issn = {2071-1050}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3390/su11174612}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Companies disclosing nonfinancial information through sustainability reporting practices provide markets with data on their social, environmental, and governance performance. The quality of sustainability reporting is much discussed in the literature because this quality affects factors such as the credibility of accountability and building stakeholders' trust in the company. Nonetheless, the concept of quality is multidimensional, and empirical evidence relating to the quality of sustainability reporting presents different findings. Regulations on mandatory nonfinancial disclosure (NFD) open new perspectives for research on sustainability reporting quality (SRQ). This study explored the effect of introducing mandatory NFD on SRQ by focusing on the effects of new legislation (Directive 2014/95/EU) introduced in Italy and Germany. The analysis was conducted through qualitative content analysis of the sustainability reporting practices of Italian and German companies in the top lists of stock exchanges. Sustainability reporting practices of one year before (2016) and one year after (2017) the implementation of Directive 2014/95/EU were compared. The results of 132 observations demonstrated that the quality of sustainability reporting increased after implementation of the law on mandatory NFD. Further, the effect of the law seemed to reduce the differences in SRQ of the two countries before the introduction of mandatory NFD. The results suggested that obligatoriness of NFD affects SRQ together with other relevant determinants focused on by previous research (e.g., company size and industry type).}, language = {en} }

However, to study common-sense morality concerning ASs abstracted dilemmas on autonomous vehicle (AV) accidents are a common tool. A special case of ethical dilemmas is when the AS's users are affected. Many people want AVs to adhere to utilitarian programming (e.g., to save the larger group), or egalitarian programming (i.e., to treat every person equally). However, they want their own AV to protect them instead of the "greater good". That people reject utilitarian programming as an AS's user while supporting the idea from an impartial perspective has been termed the "social dilemma of AVs". Meanwhile, preferences for another technical capability, which would implement egalitarian programming, have not been elicited for dilemmas involving self-interest: decision randomization. This paper investigates normative and descriptive preferences for a self-protective, self-sacrificial, or randomized choice by an AS in a dilemma where people are the sole passenger of an AV, and their survival stands against the survival of several others. Results suggest that randomization may mitigate the "social dilemma of AVs" by bridging between a societally accepted programming and the urge of ASs' users for self-protection.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{PeintnerMangerBergeretal.2024, author = {Peintner, Jakob and Manger, Carina and Berger, Melanie and Riener, Andreas}, title = {Balancing Transparency and Control: The Impact of Ai Explanation Detail on User Perception in Automated Vehicles}, titleParent = {SSRN}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, doi = {https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5027721}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @inbook{HoppeKrause2024, author = {Hoppe, Holger and Krause, Marcus}, title = {Nachhaltigkeitskommunikation im Praxiseinblick am Beispiel der KION GROUP AG}, booktitle = {CSR und Kommunikation: Unternehmerische Verantwortung {\"u}berzeugend vermitteln}, editor = {Heinrich, Peter}, edition = {3.

This work presents a method to estimate the blurring kernel of an automotive camera, which could be the first step toward state monitoring of automotive cameras. To achieve this, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was performed, using synthetic kernels generated by Zemax. The PCA model was built with approximately 1300 base kernels representing spatially variant point spread functions (PSFs). This model generates kernel samples during the estimation process. Synthetic images were created by convolving the synthetic kernels with reference traffic sign images and compared with real-life data captured by an automotive camera. These synthetic data were utilized for algorithm development, and later on, validation was performed on real-life data. The algorithm extracts two pixels regions of interest (ROIs) containing slanted edges from the blurred image and crops matching ROIs from a reference sharp image. Each candidate kernel was used to blur the reference ROIs, and the resulting SFR was compared with the blurred ROIs' SFR. Differential evolution optimization minimizes the SFR difference, selecting the kernel that best matches the observed blur. The final kernel was evaluated against the true kernel for accuracy. The structural similarity index measure (SSIM) between the original and estimated blurred ROIs ranges from 0.808 to 0.945. For true vs. estimated kernels, SSIM varies from 0.92 to 0.98. Pearson correlation coefficients range from 0.84 to 0.99, Cosine similarity from 0.86 to 0.99, and mean squared error (MSE) from to . Validation on real-life camera images showed that the SSIM between the estimated and blurred ROI was >0.82, showing promising accuracy in kernel estimation, which could be used towards in-field monitoring of camera sharpness degradation.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MuellerStrobelFaigletal.2024, author = {M{\"u}ller, Simon Nikolaus and Strobel, Rainer and Faigl, Markus and Schrag, Tobias}, title = {Analysis of Industrial 5GDHC System in Ingolstadt}, booktitle = {International Sustainable Energy Conference - Proceedings}, subtitle = {A Step Towards CO2-Neutral Industry}, editor = {Fink, Christian and Brunner, Christoph}, publisher = {TIB Open Publishing}, address = {Hannover}, issn = {2976-2030}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.52825/isec.v1i.1152}, year = {2024}, abstract = {This study comprehensively examines the technical manifestation and planning process for a shared thermal energy network at a 75-hectare industrial area in Ingolstadt.

In this paper, we develop a fault-tolerant controller to handle actuator faults for an over-actuated autonomous vehicle based on reinforcement learning. A worst-case scenario is selected for the controller development, involving short-time detection of the preceding objects, high velocity, and dry to wet road conditions. The design of the vehicle controller is performed in three steps. First, a robust controller based on sliding mode control with lateral and longitudinal coupled strategy was built to ensure stability in emergency scenarios. Secondly, a strategy was proposed to identify the most critical vehicle faults that might lead to a crash. Building on these foundations, this study extends the vehicle controller to handle vehicle faults with a reinforcement learning strategy, enabling adaptive and robust fault handling in complex fault scenarios. The vehicle controller is designed and optimized in IPG-Carmaker®, and proof of concept is carried out in a scaled 1:3.33 test vehicle. The results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed controller in an emergency single-lane change with a velocity of up to 130 km/h.

To address this gap, we investigate whether introducing female entrepreneur role models in educational settings can shape young women's entrepreneurial self-efficacy and early career choices. Drawing on role congruity theory and social cognitive career theory (SCCT), we conducted a field experiment involving over 430 university students and 98 early-stage entrepreneurs. Using a pre-test/post-test design and longitudinal tracking of early career choices, we explore the causal effects of exogenously assigned female role models on students' decisions to join a young or small firm. We find that exposure to social interactions with female entrepreneurs significantly boosts female students' entrepreneurial self-efficacy. More importantly, women who were paired with a female entrepreneur were over 10\% more likely to join a young firm after graduation compared to those assigned to a male entrepreneur. Mediation analysis confirms that entrepreneurial self-efficacy is a key mechanism linking exposure to same-sex role models with women's decision to join a young firm.

As a result, AVs often operate with uncertain knowledge of their surroundings due to limitations in both sensing and estimation of the traffic scenario's current and future states. These limitations can be caused by factors such as noisy sensor data or lack of information about the intentions of other road users. Accounting for this uncertainty while designing motion planning and control algorithms for AVs is critical, as an AV may display hazardous behavior if it is overly confident in falsely estimated environment states or, contrarily, may act too cautiously when considering unnecessarily large safety margins in estimated states. Although safety regulations call for taking uncertainty into account, the right means to integrate uncertainty in motion planning has yet to be agreed upon. A promising way to account for uncertainty is through the concept of risk. Risk accounts for uncertainty in assessing safety by considering both the likelihood and severity of unsafe events, such as collisions. Research has shown that human drivers navigate traffic by trading off subjectively perceived risk against the potential rewards of reaching their destinations. Additionally, studies indicate that subjective risk tends to correlate with objective risk measures, while ethicists argue that risk can be used as a means to facilitate ethicality in road traffic by distributing risk fairly among road users. These relationships highlight the benefits of incorporating risk as a proxy for generating AV behavior in motion planning algorithms, by accounting for uncertainty in unsafe events. Incorporating risk in AV motion planning presents two main challenges. The first challenge is to develop a notion of risk that correctly incorporates an AV's uncertainty about the future motion of other road users, and that can be computed fast (and precisely) enough to be used in online (i.e., real-time) motion-planning algorithms. The second challenge is to develop an appropriate AV motion planning algorithm that incorporates risk and generates the desired AV behavior, facilitating ethicality. This dissertation addresses both challenges by making six main contributions. First, we introduce a suitable risk metric: the expected severity of a collision event. This metric, thus, is constituted of two terms, one accounting for the likelihood of a collision and another term considering the severity of a collision. Second, we investigate the AV behavior given different optimization-based motion planning strategies that accommodate our risk metric. We find that a stochastic model predictive control (SMPC)-based motion planner adequately balances risk with travel efficiency in the presence of varying uncertainty. \\Third, to compute risk, we provide an computationally efficient (i.e., real-time computable) algorithm to estimate risk. Here, the focus lies on estimating the probability of collision (POC), as our risk metric reduces to a POC metric when the severity term is considered constant. Based on multi-circular shape approximations of the geometries of the AV and other road users, we present an algorithm that estimates the POC with good precision, and that is guaranteed not to under-approximate it. The algorithm is shown to execute significantly faster than standard Monte Carlo sampling, while being tailored for optimization-based motion planning strategies. In our SMPC-based motion planning strategy, it is shown to generate smooth, reproducible trajectories under varying levels of uncertainty. Fourth, we extend our POC algorithm to risk estimation. Here, we propose a severity estimation method that allows us to consider different collision constellations, as literature shows that those are associated with different levels of harm to the passengers of vehicles. The resulting risk estimation algorithm leverages the advantages of the POC estimation algorithm, i.e., its particular suitability for optimization-based motion planning strategies, while allowing for the flexible integration of severity functions to represent different collision types. Furthermore, we provide an extension of our risk metric to estimate the risk from the perspective of each road user in the driving scene, as we argue that risk is asymmetric between pairs of road users, i.e., dependent on the perspective. Fifth, given our proposed SMPC-based motion planning strategy, the AVs behavior can be tuned such that it minimizes its own risk (egoistic perspective), the risk other road users face (altruistic perspective), and a balance of both (collective perspective). To evaluate safety and driving behavior for each of these risk metrics, we performed simulations on a database containing a wide variety of real-world and artificial traffic scenarios. The results show that a collective perspective balances the overall risk of all road users with the AV's driving behavior in a favorable manner, and constitutes a suitable approach to facilitate ethicality in road traffic. Lastly, we use our proposed risk metric as part of the decision-making process on emergency maneuvers, i.e., emergency steering and emergency braking, for an AV designed to evade collisions with late-detected pedestrians. In simulations, we show that this metric outperforms deterministic risk estimation by choosing the appropriate evasive maneuver more frequently. In experimental testing, we verified the real-world applicability of this metric in an AV testbed designed for collision avoidance by having a pedestrian dummy walk out from a sight obstruction when the AV approaches. We find that risk is beneficial in deciding on accident avoidance maneuvers. The contributions introduced in this thesis show that risk, and thus uncertainty, can be systematically incorporated in AV algorithms for motion planning and decision-making. We demonstrate that our risk metric is beneficial to the avoidance capabilities of low-automation safety systems. Furthermore, the proposed algorithms are computationally efficient, allowing for real-time optimization-based motion planning, which allows highly automated vehicles to navigate smoothly through road traffic. We show that risk-based AV behavior generation enables balancing the AV's interests in safety and travel efficiency for all road users, and thus, facilitates ethicality.}, language = {en} } @article{AmanciodeMoraesCristofoliDuarteSilvaTancredietal.2024, author = {Am{\^a}ncio de Moraes, Andr{\´e} and Crist{\´o}foli Duarte Silva, Let{\´i}cia and Tancredi, Thiago Pontin and Vasconcellos Ferreira, Cristiano}, title = {Support methodology to the informational and conceptual design of small recreational powerboats}, volume = {13}, journal = {Human Factors in Design}, number = {25}, publisher = {Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina}, address = {Florian{\´o}polis}, issn = {2316-7963}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.5965/2316796313252024165}, pages = {165 -- 186}, year = {2024}, abstract = {This article proposes a methodology for the design of motor recreational boats which are a crucial part of the Brazilian nautical industry.

The methodology was evaluated by applying it on a small recreational motorboat, and the results were positively evaluated by nautical industry and academic specialists, leading to acceptation of the methodology and some suggestions for improvement.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{NadarajanBotsch2016, author = {Nadarajan, Parthasarathy and Botsch, Michael}, title = {Probability Estimation for Predicted-Occupancy Grids in Vehicle Safety Applications Based on Machine Learning}, publisher = {arXiv}, address = {Ithaca}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2512.12896}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AgrawalChaudharyGandamallaetal.2026, author = {Agrawal, Atharva Mangeshkumar and Chaudhary, Arvind Kumar and Gandamalla, Viswa and Sheru, Aravind Reddy and Chakraborty, Ashmita and Dhirwani, Bhavesh Arjan and Agarwal, Priyank}, title = {Author-Oriented Semantic Plagiarism Detection Using Transformer Architectures}, booktitle = {2025 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Computing Technologies (ICACT)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway}, isbn = {979-8-3315-9002-4}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/ICACT67549.2025.11351398}, pages = {401 -- 406}, year = {2026}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KuradaAgrawalGandamallaetal.2026, author = {Kurada, Sai Bhuvana and Agrawal, Atharva Mangeshkumar and Gandamalla, Viswa and Goel, Krishna and Dhirwani, Bhavesh Arjan and Bansal, Prakhyati and Injarapu, Gopi Chandu}, title = {Sarcasm-Aware Neural Translation for Informal Social Media Texts in Low-Resource Languages}, booktitle = {2025 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Computing Technologies (ICACT)}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway}, isbn = {979-8-3315-9002-4}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/ICACT67549.2025.11351510}, pages = {407 -- 411}, year = {2026}, language = {en} } @article{EmbergerNairLichteneggeretal.2025, author = {Emberger, Lukas and Nair, Gireesh and Lichtenegger, Klaus and Moser, Maria and Summ, Thorsten and Natiesta, Thomas and Fan, Jianhua and Wang, Pengcheng and Unterberger, Viktor and Ohnewein, Philip}, title = {Open data in the solar thermal community: Status, barriers, and opportunities}, volume = {2025}, pages = {100114}, journal = {Solar Energy Advances}, number = {5}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {2667-1131}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seja.2025.100114}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Open data in the renewable energy sector could contribute to a greener future and reduce carbon emissions. This study investigates existing open datasets in the solar thermal domain, challenges in publishing and using open data and its potential impact. The results support the common belief that open data is useful, offering considerable benefits for data re-users and the solar thermal community. While substantial open data in the solar thermal domain already exists, some datasets like plant statistics and cost data are hard to utilize due to licensing, accessibility, and quality issues. The study shows that data owners benefit less from publishing data compared to data re-users and service providers. While data sharing seems appealing to data owners, several barriers discourage data sharing. Suggestions to promote the use and publications of open data in solar thermal domain are discussed.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AkmalMathiasAsifetal.2025, author = {Akmal, Muhammad Uzair and Mathias, Selvine George and Asif, Saara and Koval, Leonid and Knollmeyer, Simon and Großmann, Daniel}, title = {Humanizing AI: A Human-Centered Architecture to Developing Trustworthy Intelligent Systems}, booktitle = {CS \& IT Conference Proceedings}, publisher = {AIRCC}, address = {[s. l.]}, isbn = {978-1-923107-57-1}, url = {https://www.csitcp.com/abstract/15/158csit03}, pages = {27 -- 44}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @unpublished{JamesKillingerMutangaetal.2025, author = {James, Stuart Daniel and Killinger, Markus and Mutanga, Chiedza Ngonidzashe and Pirard, Romain and Einax, Mario and Huber, Matthias and Bader, Tobias}, title = {The Hybrid Renewable Energy Community Approach (HyRECA): Synergising energy access, economic development, and ecosystem restoration in rural Southern Africa}, titleParent = {SSRN}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, doi = {https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.5294413}, year = {2025}, language = {en} }
