It is our belief that context awareness has the potential to supplement the Internet of Things, when a suitable methodology including supporting tools will ease the development of context-aware applications. We believe that a meta-model based approach can be key to achieving this goal. In this paper, we present our meta-model based methodology, which allows us to define and build application-specific context models and the integration of sensor data without any programming. We describe how that methodology is applied with the implementation of a relatively simple context-aware COVID-safe navigation app. The outcome showed that programmers with no experience in context-awareness were able to understand the concepts easily and were able to effectively use it after receiving a short training. Therefore, context-awareness is able to be implemented within a short amount of time. We conclude that this can also be the case for the development of other context-aware applications, which have the same context-awareness characteristics. We have also identified further optimization potential, which we will discuss at the conclusion of this article.}, 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} } @article{WittpahlDeeganBlacketal.2021, author = {Wittpahl, Christian and Deegan, Brian and Black, Bob and Braun, Alexander}, title = {An analytic-numerical image flicker study to test novel flicker metrics}, series = {Electronic Imaging: Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, journal = {Electronic Imaging: Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, number = {17}, publisher = {Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, issn = {2470-1173}, doi = {10.2352/ISSN.2470-1173.2021.17.AVM-183}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-35671}, pages = {1 -- 8}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{VersuemerSteffensBlaettermannetal.2020, author = {Vers{\"u}mer, Siegbert and Steffens, Jochen and Bl{\"a}ttermann, Patrick and Becker-Schweitzer, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Modelling evaluations of low-level sounds in everyday situations using linear machine learning for variable selection}, series = {Frontiers in Psychology}, volume = {11}, journal = {Frontiers in Psychology}, publisher = {Frontiers}, issn = {1664-1078}, doi = {10.3389/fpsyg.2020.570761}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-23779}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{StuhrmannHuberKaes2011, author = {Stuhrmann, Bj{\"o}rn and Huber, Florian and K{\"a}s, Josef}, title = {Robust organizational principles of protrusive biopolymer networks in migrating living cells}, series = {Plos One}, volume = {6}, journal = {Plos One}, number = {1}, publisher = {Public Library of Science (PLoS)}, issn = {1932-6203}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pone.0014471}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-34901}, year = {2011}, abstract = {Cell migration is associated with the dynamic protrusion of a thin actin-based cytoskeletal extension at the cell front, which has been shown to consist of two different substructures, the leading lamellipodium and the subsequent lamellum. While the formation of the lamellipodium is increasingly well understood, organizational principles underlying the emergence of the lamellum are just beginning to be unraveled. We report here on a 1D mathematical model which describes the reaction-diffusion processes of a polarized actin network in steady state, and reproduces essential characteristics of the lamellipodium-lamellum system. We observe a steep gradient in filament lengths at the protruding edge, a local depolymerization maximum a few microns behind the edge, as well as a differential dominance of the network destabilizer ADF/cofilin and the stabilizer tropomyosin. We identify simple and robust organizational principles giving rise to the derived network characteristics, uncoupled from the specifics of any molecular implementation, and thus plausibly valid across cell types. An analysis of network length dependence on physico-chemical system parameters implies that to limit array treadmilling to cellular dimensions, network growth has to be truncated by mechanisms other than aging-induced depolymerization, e.g., by myosin-associated network dissociation at the transition to the cell body. Our work contributes to the analytical understanding of the cytoskeletal extension's bisection into lamellipodium and lamellum and sheds light on how cells organize their molecular machinery to achieve motility.}, language = {en} } @article{StrucksWatermannWeberetal.2021, author = {Strucks, Peter and Watermann, Clara and Weber, Konradin and Kaluza, Stefan}, title = {Systematic Investigations of Vibrational and Fluid-Mechanical Stability of Coated Monolithic Catalysts}, series = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, volume = {93}, journal = {Chemie Ingenieur Technik}, number = {5}, publisher = {Wiley}, issn = {1522-2640}, doi = {10.1002/cite.202000233}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-28930}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Heterogeneous catalysts usually consist of porous, inorganic materials.

The present field study therefore investigated whether sound pressure level, reverberation time, and soundscape pleasantness can predict factors associated with overall restaurant quality. In total, 142 persons visiting 12 restaurants in Berlin rated relevant acoustical and non-acoustical factors associated with restaurant quality. Simultaneously, the A-weighted sound pressure level (LA,eq,15) was measured, and the reverberation time in the occupied state (T20,occ) was obtained by measurements performed in the unoccupied room and a subsequent calculation of the occupied condition according to DIN 18041. Results from linear mixed-effects models revealed that both the LA,eq,15 and T20,occ had a significant influence on soundscape pleasantness and eventfulness, whereby the effect of T20,occ was meditated by the LA,eq,15. Also, the LA,eq,15 as well as soundscape pleasantness were significant predictors of overall restaurant quality. A comprehensive structural equation model including both acoustical and non-acoustical factors, however, indicates that the effect of soundscape pleasantness on overall restaurant quality is mediated by the restaurant's atmosphere. Our results support and extend previous findings which suggest that the acoustical design of restaurants involves a trade-off between comfort and liveliness, depending on the desired character of the place.}, language = {en} } @article{SteffensDinneenDonneretal.2024, author = {Steffens, Jochen and Dinneen, Jesse David and Donner, Sascha and Potthoff, Tom}, title = {'Alexa, play metal': exploring music selection and personal information management via voice assistants}, series = {Information Research an international electronic journal}, volume = {29}, journal = {Information Research an international electronic journal}, number = {2}, publisher = {University of Boras, Faculty of Librarianship, Information, Education and IT}, issn = {1368-1613}, doi = {10.47989/ir292646}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-44639}, pages = {50 -- 70}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Introduction. Music streaming services have changed how music is played and perceived, but also how it is managed by individuals. Voice interfaces to such services are becoming increasingly com-mon, for example through voice assistants on mobile and smart devices, and have the poten-tial to further change personal music management by introducing new beneficial features and new challenges. Method. To explore the implications of voice assistants for personal music listening and management we surveyed 248 participants online and in a lab setting to investigate (a) in which situa-tions people use voice assistants to play music, (b) how the situations compare to established activities common during non-voice assistant music listening, and (c) what kinds of com-mands they use. Analysis. We categorised 653 situations of voice assistant use, which reflect differences to non-voice assistant music listening, and established 11 command types, which mostly reflect finding or refinding activities but also indicate keeping and organisation activities. Results. Voice assistants have some benefits for music listening and personal music management, but also a notable lack of support for traditional personal information management activities, like browsing, that are common when managing music. Conclusion. Having characterised the use of voice assistants to play music, we consider their role in per-sonal music management and make suggestions for improved design and future research.}, language = {en} } @article{Spiegel2018, author = {Spiegel, Thomas}, title = {Impact of Renewable Energy Expansion to the Balancing Energy Demand of Differential Balancing Groups}, series = {Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems}, volume = {6}, journal = {Journal of Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems}, number = {4}, publisher = {SDEWES}, issn = {1848-9257}, doi = {10.13044/j.sdewes.d6.0215}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-29207}, pages = {784 -- 799}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The research addresses the present situation on the German electricity market caused by variable renewable energy sources. The increasing number of households with photovoltaic and battery storage systems and their impacts require special attention. These systems change the traditional electricity customer from the sole electricity consumer to an electricity producer and consumer in one person. These so-called prosumers differ in their actual electricity demand from the initially estimated electricity demand with standard load profile. This discrepancy results in deviations within a differential balancing group. Thereby, the main finding of this research is a significant higher balancing energy demand with the expansion of photovoltaic and battery storage systems. Hence, the standard load profile is particularly not suitable for differential balancing groups with a high penetration of solar systems and still less suitable for groups with solar and battery storage systems}, language = {en} } @article{ShahzadGulistanAlietal.2020, author = {Shahzad, Azeem and Gulistan, Uzma and Ali, Ramzan and Iqbal, Azhar and Benim, Ali Cemal and Kamran, Muhammad and Khan, Salah Ud-Din and Khan, Shahab Ud-Din and Farooq, Aamir}, title = {Numerical Study of Axisymmetric Flow and Heat Transfer in a Liquid Film over an Unsteady Radially Stretching Surface}, series = {Mathematical Problems in Engineering}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Mathematical Problems in Engineering}, publisher = {Hindawi}, doi = {10.1155/2020/6737243}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-27755}, pages = {1 -- 9}, year = {2020}, language = {en} }
