Double-layered quantum dots represent a novel realization of a multi-component plasma system. By modelling the system and applying classical concepts we investigate the oscillator strength of the acoustic plasma mode and its dependence on the system parameters. In view of recent experimental results, we discuss the observability of this collective excitation.

The reduction of the energy demand of existing buildings is the main objective of building refurbishment. Managing the heat radiation properties of the wall construction is a possible way to develop highly effective and resource efficient insulation materials and concepts. The application of infrared reflective wall paints and coatings has been studied since the latter half of the 20th century. A brief review of the literature gives an account of the current research status. One has to realise that the conclusions are not uniformly consistent but depend strongly on the specific boundary conditions and investigated parameters. The study presented here discusses the usage of infrared reflective wall paint in conjunction with heat insulation for historic brick masonry. The possible energy savings are linked to the resulting thermal comfort. We identify critical parameters that must be taken into account when using infrared reflective wall paint and derive recommended design rules for the refurbishment of such building types. The findings prove that infrared reflective wall paint can decrease heat losses by 18% and up to 22% if comfort conditions are considered. Increasing energy savings can also cause the negative effect of high radiative asymmetry. Thus, each configuration must be observed in detail.
Essays on the Media Revolution in the 19th Century, when sound recording, film and typewriter changed the way of communication, literature, and arts; on the societal impact and role models that came along with the invention and success of the typewriting machine; on early mathematical and mechanistic ways of reasoning the medieval philosopher Ramón Llull, Leibniz's idea of binary numbers and the advent of artificial intelligence.

Ergebnisse der zweijährigen Messperiode vom 01.11.2014 bis 31.10.2016
Ausgehend von Konzeption und Planungsdaten für das Effizienzhaus Plus der Firma Karl Bachl GmbH & Co. KG in Deggendorf‐Natternberg berichten wir über die Ergebnisse des energetischen Monitorings über den Zeitraum von zwei Messjahren vom 01.11.2014 bis 31.10.2016. Die OTH Regensburg wurde mit der wissenschaftlichen Begleitforschung dieses Modellprojekts im Rahmen des Zukunft‐Bau‐Netzwerks Effizienzhaus Plus1 beauftragt.
Das Gebäude wird vorwiegend solarthermisch beheizt, ergänzt durch eine elektrische Nachheizung. Neben Solarkollektoren befinden sich auch PV‐Module auf dem Dach, deren Erträge den Jahresstrombedarf bilan‐ ziell decken. Durch Einsatz eines Batteriespeichers kann der Anteil des selbst genutzten PV‐Stroms erhöht werden.
Die Gesamtbilanz des ersten Jahres zeigt, dass das Gebäude primär‐ und endenergetisch die Anforderungen an den Effizienzhaus Plus Standard erfüllt.
Wir stellen die Energieflüsse, Gewinne und Verbräuche, sowie die Wirkungsgrade, den solaren und elektrischen Deckungsgrad und den Autarkiegrad des Gebäudes im Detail vor und diskutieren den Einfluss des elektrischen Batteriespeichers sowie der thermischen Verluste aus dem Pufferspeicher.
Verbesserungspotentiale werden in der Beseitigung von haustechnischen Fehlfunktionen und in einer stärkeren Dämmung des Pufferspeichers gesehen. Dieser ist zudem für den beabsichtigten Zweck nach den Erkenntnissen aus den empirischen Messungen zu groß dimensioniert, wodurch sich für künftige Projekte ein Einsparungspotential ergibt.
Which influence had the sudden appearance of sound recording, film, and typewriters at the end of the 19th century on the human perception of and our thinking about what we consider “reality”? How did our society change with these technological innovations? After millennia of speech and the culture of writing, a fundamental disruption occurred when Thomas Alva Edison introduced his “phonograph” in 1877. In his book “Grammophon, Film, Typewriter” (Brinkmann & Bose, Berlin 1986), Friedrich Kittler (1943-2011) discusses this question from his perspective as literary scholar and media theorist, reviewing contemporary authors to let them bear witness to their experiences and impressions of the then-new media. This essay intends to be a short extract of Kittler’s book, meandering between additional sources of historians, writers, commentators, yet always coming back to Kittler’s fascinating panopticon.
Mankind has always been confronted with limited knowledge about Nature and many people devoted their lives and intellects to the very question: How to gain knowledge, confirm ideas and theories, and understand the world we live in? Religion was one fundamental base for explanations and existential questions. Philosophy and Science were the other. Nowadays, science and technology dominate our daily lives, religion and metaphysics have lost their former dominance, while our thoughts and factual knowledge are increasingly governed by the digitised versions of conversation and discussion, filtered and guided by the algorithms of social networks. Today, "artificial intelligence" is a phenomenon in information technology which takes over everyday routines. A new ideal, a new promise, and at the same time used as a stratagem by political and economic systems to guide and manipulate our thinking, values, and behaviour. But nothing is so new that one could not find its precursors in earlier times. Science and mathematics has kindled many brilliant ideas. Can we describe the world by numbers, find truth and explanation in mathematical structures? This essay is devoted to early ideas by the medieval philosopher Ramón Llull, the great rationalist G.W. Leibniz, and early approaches to combinations, number theory. and information processing. Llull's thinking machine and subsequent endeavours to find methods of mechanical reasoning and inference paved the way to modern-day concepts of artificial intelligence.
The vernier or nonius (in other languages) goes back to a measuring tool used in navigation and astronomy named after its inventor Pedro Nunes (1502–1578; Latin: Petrus Nonius), a Portuguese mathematician and navigator. The nonius was created in 1542 to take finer measurements on circular instruments such as the astrolabe. In 1631 the French mathematician Pierre Vernier (1580–1637) adapted and simplified the system which was later denoted “vernier”.
We present a method to construct a vernier-like scale for logarithmic scales (as used for typical slide rules), which results in variable tick spacings. The idea is to put the non-linear scale on a spiral. The method can be applied to any non-linear scale, not only logarithmic scales.
