Furthermore, the parametric impact with different chimney divergence angles (CDA, ϕ), and ground absorber slope angle (GSA, γ) on the SCPP performance is also scrutinized. Optimum divergence angle (ϕ=+0.75◦) enhances the power generation up to ~ 47\% (76 kW) with a horizontal ground absorber surface. An increase or decrease in CDA lessens the power generation. With a sloped ground absorber angle γ=0.6◦, the gain in power generation is 60\% (82 kW). The study of combination of ground sloped absorber (γ=0.6◦) and divergent chimney (ϕ=+0.75◦) shows enhancement of the power generation upto 80\% (92 kW) more than the classical Manzaranes plant.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{vonBergSchwoererPrinzetal.2023, author = {von Berg, Markus and Schw{\"o}rer, Paul and Prinz, Lukas and Steffens, Jochen}, title = {Analysis of physical and perceptual properties of room impulse responses: development of an online tool}, series = {Forum Acusticuum 2023: 10th Convention of European Acoustics Association, Turin, Italy, 11th-15th September 2023}, booktitle = {Forum Acusticuum 2023: 10th Convention of European Acoustics Association, Turin, Italy, 11th-15th September 2023}, publisher = {EAA}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-41955}, pages = {8}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Over the past decades, research in room acoustics has established several derivative measures of an impulse response, some of which are incorporated in the ISO 3382 standards. These parameters intend to represent perceptual qualities, but were developed without a consistent modeling of room acoustical perception. More recent research proposed comprehensive inventories of room acoustic perception that are purely based on evaluations by human subjects, such as the Room Acoustical Quality Index (RAQI). In this work RA-QI scores acquired for 70 room impulse responses were predicted from room acoustical parameters. Except for Reverberance, the prediction of RAQI factors performed rather poor. In most cases, the sound source had a greater impact on RAQI scores. All analyses are published in an online tool, where users can upload omnidirectional and binaural impulse responses, and instantly obtain and visualize several physical descriptors, as well as predicted RAQI scores for three different sound sources. So far, acceptable prediction accuracy is achieved for Reverberance, Strength, Irregular Decay, Clarity and Intimacy. Larger data sets of evaluated impulse responses are required to improve the model performance and enable reliable predictions of room acoustical quality. Therefore, the administration of RAQI evaluations within the website is currently being developed.}, language = {en} } @article{BrummelMuellerBraun2022, author = {Brummel, Mattis and M{\"u}ller, Patrick and Braun, Alexander}, title = {Spatial precision and recall indices to assess the performance of instance segmentation algorithms}, series = {Electronic Imaging}, volume = {34}, journal = {Electronic Imaging}, number = {16}, publisher = {Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, issn = {2470-1173}, doi = {10.2352/EI.2022.34.16.AVM-101}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-41552}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @article{WohlersMuellerBraun2022, author = {Wohlers, Luis Constantin and M{\"u}ller, Patrick and Braun, Alexander}, title = {Original image noise reconstruction for spatially-varying filtered driving scenes}, series = {Electronic Imaging: Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, volume = {34}, journal = {Electronic Imaging: Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, number = {16}, publisher = {Society for Imaging Sciences and Technology}, issn = {2470-1173}, doi = {10.2352/EI.2022.34.16.AVM-214}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-41479}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @misc{DeckertPhanNgoc2023, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Phan Ngoc, Duc Anh}, title = {PlayStation 4 vs. Xbox One: Competitive Analysis of the Video Game Industry}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, organization = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, doi = {10.20385/opus4-4114}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-41142}, pages = {22}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @misc{Deckert2023, author = {Deckert, Carsten}, title = {Now What You Hear Is Not a Test: The Invention and Commercialization of Rap Music}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, organization = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, doi = {10.20385/opus4-4113}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-41134}, pages = {14}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @masterthesis{Obry2023, type = {Bachelor Thesis}, author = {Obry, Yannick}, title = {Music Streaming Adaption - Drivers of Behavioral Intention}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, organization = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-41326}, school = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, pages = {31}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Music consumption and distribution has changed drastically in the last twenty years due to digitalization. Instead of buying music products, like CDs or even downloaded digital music files, today music is predominantly distributed via online music streaming. Therefore, it is mandatory for the music industry as well as researchers to determine which factors are affecting consumers intention to use music streaming services. This study aims to investigate drivers of Behavioral Intention (BI) to use a music streaming service. Particularly, aspects of social preferences in the context of music streaming will be explored. Therefore, a research model is created, based on the Value-based Adoption Model (VAM) (Kim et al., 2007) with an extension to take social factors into account. An online questionnaire with 102 participants was conducted to test the research model and the corresponding hypotheses. In order to evaluate reliable indications, some adjustments needed to be made resulting in a corrected research model. The final independent variables of the corrected model are Perceived Value (PV) (which is composed of Perceived Usefulness (PU) and Perceived Enjoyment (PE)), Perceived Ease of Use (PEU), Perceived Price Value (PPV), Facilitating Conditions (FC), Perceived Fairness (PF), Social Connectivity (SC), and Peer-Effects (PFX). The empirical results show that Perceived Value (PV), Perceived Price Value (PPV), and Perceived Fairness (PF) are determinants of consumers Behavioral Intention (BI) to use a music streaming service.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FatemiTischbeinWirtzetal.2023, author = {Fatemi, Armin and Tischbein, Franziska and Wirtz, Frank and Schmoger, Christin and Dorendorf, Stefan and Schurtz, Annika and Echternacht, David and Ulbig, Andreas}, title = {On the Impact of Smartification Strategies for the State Estimation of Low Voltage Grids}, series = {13th "Internationale Energiewirtschaftstagung" (IEWT2023), February 15-17, 2023, Vienna, Austria}, booktitle = {13th "Internationale Energiewirtschaftstagung" (IEWT2023), February 15-17, 2023, Vienna, Austria}, address = {Wien}, doi = {10.48550/arXiv.2303.07964}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-41282}, pages = {1 -- 15}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The decarbonization of for example the energy or heat sector leads to the transformation of distribution grids. The expansion of decentralized energy resources and the integration of new consumers due to sector coupling (e.g. heat pumps or electric vehicles) into low voltage grids increases the need for grid expansion and usage of flexibilities in the grid. A high observability of the current grid status is needed to perform these tasks efficiently and effectively. Therefore, there is a need to increase the observability of low voltage grids by installing measurement technologies (e.g. smart meters). Multiple different measurement technologies are available for low voltage grids which can vary in their benefit to observation quality and their installation costs. Therefore, Bayernwerk Netz GmbH and E.DIS AG in cooperation with E-Bridge Consulting GmbH and the Institute for High Voltage Equipment and Grids, Digitalization and Energy Economics (IAEW) investigated the effectiveness of different strategies for the smartification of low voltage grids. This paper presents the methodology used for the investigation and exemplary results focusing on the impact of intelligent cable distribution cabinets and smart meters on the quality of the state estimation.}, language = {en} } @misc{Blum2022, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Blum, Jessica}, title = {Queering Empowerment and Accountability - Towards a Decolonial Peacebuilding-Development Praxis Nexus}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, organization = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-38517}, school = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, pages = {139}, year = {2022}, language = {en} }
