Design/methodology/approach - To bridge the research gap, i.e., to align strategic supplier portfolio selection with corporate sustainability targets, a hybrid model of the analytic network process (ANP) and goal programming (GP) is developed. To validate the model, a case example is presented and managerial feedback is collected. Findings - By enabling the integration of sustainability targets into strategic supplier portfolio configuration, the hybrid ANP-GP model contributes to research in the area of sustainable supply chain management. Results indicate that simplifying the model by omitting one or more details may lead to unfortunate actions. Research limitations/implications - The model has been applied using a case example in the automotive industry. To strengthen the findings, it should be examined under other terms as well. Practical implications - Integrating economic, environmental, and social targets into strategic supplier portfolio configuration reduces supply risks and promotes the achievement of the sustainability goals of the purchasing company. Social implications - Strategic supplier selection counts among the decisions that have an impact on the environment and society for several years. Configuring economically rational, environmentally friendly, and socially responsible supplier bases supports worldwide efforts towards sustainable development.

It works in the frequency range from 1 Hz to 500 Hz, where surfactant exchange dynamics governs the relaxation process. The originality of instrument design is the consistent combination of modern measurement technologies with advanced imaging and signal processing algorithms. Key steps on the way to reliable and precise measurements are the excitation of harmonic oscillation of the bubble, phase sensitive evaluation of the pressure response, adjustment and maintenance of the bubble shape to half sphere geometry for compensation of thermal drifts, contour tracing of the bubbles video images, removal of noise and artefacts within the image for improving the reliability of the measurement, and, in particular, a complex trigger scheme for the measurement of the oscillation amplitude, which may vary with frequency as a result of resonances. The corresponding automation and programming tasks are described in detail. Various programming strategies, such as the use of MATLAB® software and native C++ code are discussed. An advance in the measurement technique is demonstrated by a fully automated measurement.

Specifically, low-frequency EEG (< 20 Hz) is strongly correlated with in-scanner movement. Accordingly, minor head motion (< 0.2 mm) induces spurious effects in a twofold manner: Small differences in task-correlated motion elicit spurious low-frequency effects, and, as motion concurrently influences fMRI data, EEG-BOLD correlations closely match motion-fMRI correlations.

However, it is still unknown whether increases or decreases in theta power co-occur with increased BOLD signal in the MTL during memory encoding. To investigate this question, we recorded EEG and fMRI separately, while human participants used the spatial method of loci or the pegword method, a similarly associative but nonspatial mnemonic. The more effective spatial mnemonic induced a pronounced theta power decrease source localized to the left MTL compared with the nonspatial associative mnemonic strategy. This effect was mirrored by BOLD signal increases in the MTL. Successful encoding, irrespective of the strategy used, elicited decreases in left temporal theta power and increases in MTL BOLD activity. This pattern of results suggests a negative relationship between theta power and BOLD signal changes in the MTL during memory encoding and spatial processing.

Milk-run systems generally enable frequent deliveries in low lot sizes with short lead times and low inventories at the points of use. Thus, stable and reliable system operation is crucial to avoid delays and material shortages. In industrial practice, milk-run trains usually share resources, for example, loading areas and technology and use the same tracks, leading to dependencies between routes and possible traffic jams and blockages, which significantly affect cycle times and may lead to instabilities in the system. We present a simulation model to analyse in-plant milk-run systems with a focus on typical traffic situations. We describe its application to a large industrial case study in detail and derive recommendations for designing routes with low risk of delays.}, language = {en} } @article{BarannykFrikelNguyen, author = {Barannyk, Lyudmyla L. and Frikel, J{\"u}rgen and Nguyen, Linh V.}, title = {On artifacts in limited data spherical Radon transform: Curved observation surface}, series = {Inverse Problems}, volume = {32}, journal = {Inverse Problems}, number = {1}, publisher = {Institute of Physics}, address = {Bristol [u.a.]}, issn = {1361-6420}, doi = {10.1088/0266-5611/32/1/015012}, abstract = {We study the limited data problem of the spherical Radon transform in two and three-dimensional spaces with general acquisition surfaces. In such situations, it is known that the application of filtered-backprojection reconstruction formulas might generate added artifacts and degrade the quality of reconstructions. In this article, we explicitly analyze a family of such inversion formulas, depending on a smoothing function that vanishes to order k on the boundary of the acquisition surfaces. We show that the artifacts are k orders smoother than their generating singularity. Moreover, in two-dimensional space, if the generating singularity is conormal satisfying a generic condition then the artifacts are even k+1/2 orders smoother than the generating singularity. Our analysis for three-dimensional space contains an important idea of lifting up space. We also explore the theoretical findings in a series of numerical experiments. Our experiments show that a good choice of the smoothing function leads to a significant improvement of reconstruction quality.}, language = {de} } @article{Schermer, author = {Schermer, Detleff}, title = {Bemessung nach Eurocode 6}, series = {Deutsches Ingenieurblatt / Bauplaner}, journal = {Deutsches Ingenieurblatt / Bauplaner}, number = {9, Supplement}, publisher = {Schiele \& Sch{\"o}n}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0946-2422}, pages = {14 -- 15}, language = {de} } @article{Herrmann, author = {Herrmann, Frank}, title = {Using Optimization Models for Scheduling in Enterprise Resource Planning Systems}, series = {Systems}, volume = {4}, journal = {Systems}, number = {1}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/systems4010015}, pages = {1 -- 15}, abstract = {Companies often use specially-designed production systems and change them from time to time. They produce small batches in order to satisfy specific demands with the least tardiness. This imposes high demands on high-performance scheduling algorithms which can be rapidly adapted to changes in the production system. As a solution, this paper proposes a generic approach: solutions were obtained using a widely-used commercially-available tool for solving linear optimization models, which is available in an Enterprise Resource Planning System (in the SAP system for example) or can be connected to it. In a real-world application of a flow shop with special restrictions this approach is successfully used on a standard personal computer. Thus, the main implication is that optimal scheduling with a commercially-available tool, incorporated in an Enterprise Resource Planning System, may be the best approach.}, language = {en} } @article{WagnerNeidhart, author = {Wagner, Bernd and Neidhart, Thomas}, title = {Prognose der Druckfestigkeitsentwicklung von ZFSV : Vorschlag zweier Methoden}, series = {Euroheat \& Power}, volume = {45}, journal = {Euroheat \& Power}, number = {1/2}, publisher = {VDE Verlag}, issn = {0949-166X}, pages = {35 -- 39}, language = {de} }
