This paper presents an integrated approach to explore human factors in the craft sector. The embedded use case consists of craft workshops being 3D-modelled and simulated so that different scheduling rules can be deployed. The connected VR visualization allows craft professionals to experience scheduling rules and their impact on different performance measurements in an environ-ment intuitively resembling their actual workshops. The lessons learned from the simulation modelling are collected and presented. A modular approach appears to be beneficial for simulation modelling, offering flexibility and pragmatism but detail when needed. Apart from this anecdotal evidence, the study is accompanied by interviews. These are analyzed based on abduction grounded theory which combines a strong focus on the actual corpus of qualitative data but considers theoretical foundations, when appropriate. This paper presents the study design, and how it interties with the research approach and the use case of simulation and virtual reality for carpentries.
The research on the new generation mobile networks is currently in the phase of defining the key technologies to make 6G successful. Hereby, the research project 6G NeXt is aiming to provide a tight integration between the communication network, consisting of the radio access as well as backbone network, and processing facilities. By the concept of split computing, the processing facilities are distributed over the entire backbone network, from centralised cloud to the edge cloud at a base station. Based on two demanding use cases, Smart Drones and Hologradic Communication, we investigate a joint communication and compute architecture that will make the application of tomorrow become reality.
The aim was to implement uncertainty calculation for detecting the negative effects of smoking on the bone density of the paranasal sinus. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 male participants aged 20 to 44 were included in the study and divided into two groups. The first group comprised individuals with minimal harmful habits, while the second group consisted of individuals who had been smoking for at least 10 years, consuming 1 to 2 packs of cigarettes per day. Results Bone density has a negative impact on the bone tissue of the upper wall of the maxillary sinus. The findings suggest that individuals with a pronounced decrease in minimum density, as well as those with a marked difference between minimum and maximum density values, may require heightened medical attention due to potential associations with undiagnosed diseases or specific structural characteristics in the skull. Conclusions. The uncertainty calculation was implemented for the detection of negative effect of smoking on the bone density of paranasal sinuses. The calculated difference between maximum and minimum density during the research suggests significant medical implications, especially considering the heterogeneity of the trabecular bone structure in the skull. Individuals with a marked difference may require heightened medical attention, potentially associated with undiagnosed diseases or specific structural characteristics in the skull.
The contribution aims to bring forth a novel synthesis route in developing transparent UV LED-curable coatings accounting for various exposure options. A selection of perfluoropolyether (PFPE)-urethane methacrylate and acrylate resins, free-radical photo-initiator Omnirad 2100, and two distinct silane-based crosslinking agents were blended under a weight ratio of 75:20:5 (without crosslinker) and 70:15:5:10, respectively. The coatings were cured under a UV LED 4 × 3 matrix light emitting source, in a chamber under a controlled atmosphere, by means of an in-house developed conveyor belt type platform, at different conveyor belt speeds (5, 50, 150, 250, and 500 mm/s). The morphologies of fabricated coatings were characterized by FTIR revealing high conversion rates (e.g., from 98 to 100%) for increased exposure time as a result of the 5 or 50 mm/s values, on all combinations. Dynamic–mechanical and optical properties of UV LED-cured transparent coatings were also investigated. A negative shift of the glass transition temperature values with a decrease in exposure time, in all combinations, from about 60 °C to 30 °C, along with storage moduli lowering in the glassy plateau further favors higher exposure times for curing. The refractive indices of poly-mers were from 1.38 to 1.40, whereas the thermo-optic coefficients are showing minor changes around the value of 2.55∙10−4 K−1.

The article discusses the approach to solving the problem of reducing time spent on the preparation of medical images for teaching neural networks, by reducing the time of creating masks for images. The task is considered on the example of processing images of the mucous membrane of the paranasal sinus. The specifics of the task did not allow effectively using existing software solutions. During the study, a software solution was proposed, which made it possible to radically reduce the time of creating masks for images. The article also analyzes the shortcomings of the automated creation of masks, as well as the directions of their solution. The loss of time due to the adjustment of the color palette can be reduced even more to 1-2 minutes, the average deviation is 7.61%.
Transparenz und Erklärbarkeit sind essenzielle Faktoren bei der Entwicklung sicherer KI-Modelle für den Fußgängerschutz. Dies ermöglicht nicht nur eine verbesserte Akzeptanz, sondern fördert auch das Vertrauen der Nutzer in die präventiven Fähigkeiten dieser Systeme.
Die Integration von Sensoren, maschinellem Lernen und fortschrittlichen Algorithmen ermöglicht eine präzise Analyse von Fußgängerverhalten und Umgebungsfaktoren. Dabei spielt die Echtzeitverarbeitung eine entscheidende Rolle, um schnell auf sich ändernde Situationen zu reagieren.
Zusätzlich zur Technologieentwicklung betont diese Analyse die Notwendigkeit strikter Sicherheitsmaßnahmen, um potenzielle Risiken und Sicherheitslücken zu minimieren. Dazu gehören Sicherheitsprotokolle für die Datenspeicherung, den Modellschutz und den Zu-griff auf KI-Systeme.
Die Einhaltung gesetzlicher und ethischer Richtlinien ist ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt. Regulatorische Vorgaben und ethische Standards sollen sicherstellen, dass KI-Technologien im Automobilsektor nicht nur sicher, sondern auch im Einklang mit gesellschaftlichen Werten und Normen eingesetzt werden.
In modern electrochemical coating technology, it is common practice to create uniform layers. However, this study focuses on the deposition of non-uniform layers achieved through a deliberate arrangement of micro structured electrodes on the anode side. The "dog bone effect” was employed as the primary approach [1]. When electroplating on an otherwise uniform surface, this effect selectively processes an area influenced by the geometric edge effect (figure 1 left). The coating within this area is intended to be (i) unevenly distributed and (ii) non-reproducible. Process data was obtained through electrochemical simulations and subsequently applied to a specially designed micro-galvanic setup. This enabled the production of suitable micro structured anodes, validation of coating parameters, and the deposition of visually imperceptible structured areas with inhomogeneous properties using "adhesive gold" on appropriate substrates such as silver and nickel. The layers and their local topography were characterized and analyzed using confocal laser microscopy, X-Ray fluorescence analysis (XRF), as well as a self-designed and constructed laser interference device. As a result, this specific galvanic process technology successfully produced metallic layers that (i) cannot be visually confirmed by the naked eye, (ii) exhibit varied microstructural anode geometries, (iii) display unique differences in layer thickness, (iv) possess non-reproducible and chaotic topographies, and (v) can be detected and identified using conventional analysis techniques or a simple interference setup.
The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of insulin resistance on the bone density of the upper wall of the maxillary sinus. Materials and Methods: The study included 100 female participants aged 18 to 44 years, divided into two groups. The first group consisted of individuals with insulin resistance, while the control group comprised individuals without signs of insulin resistance. In each group, we conducted an investigation of the radiological density of the upper wall of the maxillary sinus using uncertainty calculations. Results of the study suggest a potential influence of insulin resistance on the density of bone tissue around the nasal sinuses, specifically the upper wall of the maxillary sinus in our case. This parameter was found to be minimal in the group of individuals with insulin resistance. It is particularly noteworthy that both minimum and maximum bone density decreased in this group. Conclusions. The research focused on how insulin resistance affects the density of the upper wall of the maxillary sinus. By employing uncertainty calculations, the study revealed that insulin resistance is associated with a decrease in the minimum density of the upper wall of the maxillary sinus. This tendency may act as a catalyst for the emergence of significant inflammatory alterations in the nasal sinuses, serving as a foundation for the initiation of complications.
In this paper, different concepts for mixing sample and master mix by means of simulation are discussed. The main focus was on mixers with a low dead volume, because of their relevance to PCR. In addition, a concept for aliquoting the mixed solution was elaborated and simulated. The simulation showed very good mixing with serpentineand tesla-mixers at flow rates of 1-16 µL/s. Furthermore, a uniform distribution with aliquoting could be achieved, while a slight dependence between flow rate and pressure was observed. In the further course, these concepts are to be combined and tested on a microfluidic chip. This can then be integrated into the workflow of existing PCR protocols.
