Although weaknesses in the relationship between spectral similarity scores and the true structural similarities have been described, little development of alternative scores has been undertaken. Here, we introduce Spec2Vec, a novel spectral similarity score inspired by a natural language processing algorithm-Word2Vec. Spec2Vec learns fragmental relationships within a large set of spectral data to derive abstract spectral embeddings that can be used to assess spectral similarities. Using data derived from GNPS MS/MS libraries including spectra for nearly 13,000 unique molecules, we show how Spec2Vec scores correlate better with structural similarity than cosine-based scores. We demonstrate the advantages of Spec2Vec in library matching and molecular networking. Spec2Vec is computationally more scalable allowing structural analogue searches in large databases within seconds.}, language = {en} } @article{MandalBiswasMannaetal.2024, author = {Mandal, Dipak Kumar and Biswas, Nirmalendu and Manna, Nirmal K and Benim, Ali Cemal}, title = {Impact of chimney divergence and sloped absorber on energy efficacy of a solar chimney power plant (SCPP)}, series = {Ain Shams Engineering Journal}, journal = {Ain Shams Engineering Journal}, publisher = {Elsevier}, issn = {2090-4495}, doi = {10.1016/j.asej.2023.102390}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-42410}, year = {2024}, abstract = {A numerical study is carried out meticulously to scrutinize the impact of different shapes of chimneys like circular (outer dia, dc), convergent (outer dia, 0.5dc), divergent (outer dia, 1.5dc), sudden contraction (outer dia, 0.5dc), and sudden expansion (outer dia, 1.5dc) on the performance of an SCPP. 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).

Employing a finite volume-based solver for numerical analysis, we systematically scrutinize influential geometric parameters, including collector height (hi = 1.85 to 0.1 m), chimney inlet diameter (dch = 10.16 to 55.88 m), and chimney outlet diameter (do = 10.16 to 30.48 m). Our findings demonstrate that reducing the collector inlet height consistently leads to increased power output. The optimal collector inlet height of hi = 0.2 m results in a significant power increase from 51 to 117.42 kW (~ 2.3 times) without additional installation costs, accompanied by an efficiency of 0.25\%. Conversely, enlarging the chimney diameter decreases the chimney base velocity and suction pressure. However, as turbine-driven power generation rises, the flow becomes stagnant beyond a chimney diameter of 45.72 m. At this point, power generation reaches 209 kW, nearly four times greater than the Manzanares plant, with an efficiency of 0.44\%. Nevertheless, the cost of expanding the chimney diameter is substantial. Furthermore, the impact of chimney divergence is evident, with power generation, collector efficiency, overall efficiency, and collector inlet velocity all peaking at an outer chimney diameter of 15.24 m (corresponding to an area ratio of 2.25). At this configuration, power generation increases to 75.91 kW, approximately 1.5 times more than the initial design. Remarkably, at a low collector inlet height of 0.2 m, combining it with a chimney diameter of 4.5 times the chimney inlet diameter (4.5dch) results in an impressive power output of 635.02 kW, signifying a substantial 12.45-fold increase. To model the performance under these diverse conditions, an artificial neural network (ANN) is effectively utilized.}, language = {en} } @article{Schultz2023, author = {Schultz, Laura}, title = {Methods of Political Influence of Weak Interests Using the Example of the Reform Process of the Bundesteilhabegesetz (Federal Participation Act)}, series = {Journal of Policy Practice and Research}, journal = {Journal of Policy Practice and Research}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, issn = {2662-1517}, doi = {10.1007/s42972-022-00073-2}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-40488}, pages = {1 -- 14}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @incollection{CelikKarabaş2022, author = {{\c{C}}elik, Fatma and Karaba{\c{s}}, Beyza}, title = {You don't talk about that!? - A survey on prospective social worker's knowledge on CSA and their use of media}, series = {Child Sexual Abuse and the Media}, booktitle = {Child Sexual Abuse and the Media}, editor = {Stelzmann, Daniela and Ischebeck, Josephine}, publisher = {Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft}, address = {Baden-Baden}, isbn = {978-3-7489-0440-3}, doi = {10.5771/9783748904403-123}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-44412}, publisher = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, pages = {123 -- 134}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Well-trained professionals, like social workers, are essential for effective prevention of child sexual abuse (CSA).

However, deviations between software design and implementation are often uncontrolled and induce architectural erosion. The literature describes several symptoms and observes this phenomenon in open source software. Prominent reasons for the occurrence of architectural erosion include a rushed evolution, recurring changes, a lack of developers' awareness, time pressures, and the accumulation of design decisions. Architectural erosion is also prevalent in academic projects, but it still needs to be researched in-depth in a real-life setting. In this work, a single case study investigates the symptoms and reasons for architectural erosion in open source software originating from academia by employing a mixed-methods approach. Architectural metrics from a static code analysis using ARCADE Core are contrasted with developers' perspectives sourced from semistructured interviews. The investigated project is JackTrip, a cross-platform application for realtime networked music performances and Internet reverberation research. The first research question aims at assessing the trend of structural symptoms for architectural erosion in JackTrip. The results show a significant increase in link overload smells in the course of the evolution, which reached 11 as of version 1.6.2. This supports the developers' perception of a rushed evolution corresponding to the second research question, which asks to what extent prominent causes for architectural erosion apply. Additionally, the interview data evince time constraints related to tight research funding and the commercialization of the project. Research question 3 investigates how the academic environment and the problem domain relate to the symptoms and reasons for architecture erosion. It has been found that these influences shape the development approach and impact contributor selection. In relation to a certain inexperience and lack of commitment of open source developers as a reason for architectural erosion, the results suggest further studies and opt for ending the discussion regarding skills. Currently, the role of an architect or dedicated architectural work does not seem to be present in the JackTrip project. However, structural issues described in this work should not be considered as categorical statements about its software architecture as they would need to be confirmed on a code level.}, language = {en} }
