T1 - Simultaneous operational vibration analysis of different layers of lightweight timber floors T2 - Internoise 2013 N2 - Within the scope of the research project "VibWood", operational vibration analyses of timber floor constructions were carried out. In order to understand the vibration behaviour of and the sound transmission through the layers of the constructions the coupling between them was investigated. The transfer function from the point of excitation to a pattern of receiving positions located on each of the layers of the construction was measured using a swept sine excitation. As a result, the frequency range of decoupling between the base floor and the floating floor and between the base floor and the suspended ceiling could be identified and the individual vibration behavior analyzed. The measurements also included the radiated sound power from the suspended ceiling. There is indication that there is not necessarily a correlation between the eigenmodes of the suspended ceiling and the maxima of the radiated sound power KW - Schallmesstechnik KW - Holzbau Y1 - 2018 ER - TY - CHAP A1 - Völtl, R.

DAGA N2 - Im Rahmen des AIF-Forschungsprojektes VibWood werden im Deckenprüfstand der HS Rosenheim unterschiedliche Holzdeckenkonstruktionen hinsichtlich ihres Schwingungsverhaltens im Bereich zwischen 4 Hz und 200 Hz untersucht. Parallel dazu werden diese Holzdeckenkonstruktionen an der TU München mittels FE-Berechnungen modelliert. Für die Untersuchungen steht ein Prüfstand zur Verfügung, welcher die Möglichkeit bietet, Decken oder Deckenelemente mit Abmessungen von max. 5,5 m x 5,5 m auf einer Stahlwinkelkonsole aufzulagern. Die Deckenelemente können so durch Messung der Übertragungsfunktionen hinsichtlich ihrer Schwingungsformen untersucht werden. Ein Ziel der Untersuchungen ist es, die tieffrequenten Schwingungen von Holzdecken mit Hilfe von Schwingungstilgern deutlich zu reduzieren. Es werden erste Ergebnisse der Validierung der FE-Modelle vorgestellt, insbesondere der Einfluss der Auflagerung der Deckenelemente auf die Übertragungsfunktion.

ED - BioMed Central, T1 - Multimorbidity and successful aging: the population-based KORA-Age study JF - Health and quality of life outcomes N2 - Background Multimorbidity in the older population is well acknowledged to negatively affect health-related quality of life (HRQL). Several studies have examined the independent effects of single diseases; however, little research has focused on interaction between diseases. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of six self-reported major conditions and their combinations on HRQL measured by the EQ-5D. Methods The EQ-5D was administered in the population-based KORA-Age study of 4,565 Germans aged 65 years or older. A generalised additive regression model was used to assess the effects of chronic conditions on HRQL and to account for the nonlinear associations with age and body mass index (BMI). Disease interactions were identified by a forward variable selection method. Results The conditions with the greatest negative impact on the EQ-5D index were the history of a stroke (regression coefficient -11.3, p < 0.0001) and chronic bronchitis (regression coefficient -8.1, p < 0.0001). Patients with both diabetes and coronary disorders showed more impaired HRQL than could be expected from their separate effects (coefficient of interaction term -8.1, p < 0.0001). A synergistic effect on HRQL was also found for the combination of coronary disorders and stroke. The effect of BMI on the mean EQ-5D index was inverse U-shaped with a maximum at around 24.8 kg/m2. Conclusions There are important interactions between coronary problems, diabetes mellitus, and the history of a stroke that negatively affect HRQL in the older German population. Not only high but also low BMI is associated with impairments in health status.

However, disentangling stressor effects and identifying relevant stressor-effect-relationships in complex environmental settings remain major challenges. By combining state-of-the-art methods from ecotoxicology and aquatic ecosystem analysis, we aimed here to disentangle the effects of multiple chemical and non-chemical stressors along a longitudinal land use gradient in a third-order river in Germany. We distinguished and evaluated four dominant stressor categories along this gradient: (1) Hydromorphological alterations: Flow diversity and substrate diversity correlated with the EU-Water Framework Directive based indicators for the quality element macroinvertebrates, which deteriorated at the transition from near-natural reference sites to urban sites. (2) Elevated nutrient levels and eutrophication: Low to moderate nutrient concentrations together with complete canopy cover at the reference sites correlated with low densities of benthic algae (biofilms). We found no more systematic relation of algal density with nutrient concentrations at the downstream sites, suggesting that limiting concentrations are exceeded already at moderate nutrient concentrations and reduced shading by riparian vegetation. (3) Elevated organic matter levels: Wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) and stormwater drainage systems were the primary sources of bioavailable dissolved organic carbon. Consequently, planktonic bacterial production and especially extracellular enzyme activity increased downstream of those effluents showing local peaks. (4) Micropollutants and toxicity-related stress: WWTPs were the predominant source of toxic stress, resulting in a rapid increase of the toxicity for invertebrates and algae with only one order of magnitude below the acute toxic levels. This toxicity correlates negatively with the contribution of invertebrate species being sensitive towards pesticides (SPEARpesticides index), probably contributing to the loss of biodiversity recorded in response to WWTP effluents. Our longitudinal approach highlights the potential of coordinated community efforts in supplementing established monitoring methods to tackle the complex phenomenon of multiple stress.

T1 - Monitoring temperature evolution and drying of coating on a single fluidized particle by infrared thermography JF - Powder Technology N2 - Coating is an important step for the protection of drugs and flavors in the pharmaceutical and food industry. This paper presents a method for the experimental investigation of the coating process of a single freestream-fluidized particle by an infrared camera. The coating is dispersed by a nozzle with ultrasonic fluid atomization, allowing constant droplet size at different spray rates. The temperature of the fluidized particle was measured online by an infrared camera. The application of the coating on the particle in a spray cycle and the subsequent solvent vaporization is linked to the temperature and hence monitored during the whole coating process. The cyclic coating process of a Wurster coater is hence reproduced. The temperature evolution for different coating amounts in a single spray cycle, for different particle sizes, materials and temperature levels is monitored. A micro-computed tomography image shows the result of the levitator coating, giving a homogeneous layer.
