This study aimed to combine in vitro and in silico modeling to describe cellular and matrix-related changes during the early phase of OA. We developed an in vitro OA model based on scaffold-free cartilage-like constructs (SFCCs), which was mathematically modeled using a partial differential equation (PDE) system to resemble the processes during the onset of OA. SFCCs were produced from mesenchymal stromal cells and analyzed weekly by histology and qPCR to characterize the cellular and matrix-related composition. To simulate the early phase of OA, SFCCs were treated with interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) and examined after 3 weeks or cultivated another 3 weeks without inflammatory cytokines to validate the regeneration potential. Mathematical modeling was performed in parallel to the in vitro experiments. SFCCs expressed cartilage-specific markers, and after stimulation an increased expression of inflammatory markers, matrix degrading enzymes, a loss of collagen II (Col-2) and a reduced cell density was observed which could be partially reversed by retraction of stimulation. Based on the PDEs, the distribution processes within the SFCCs, including those of IL-1β, Col-2 degradation and cell number reduction was simulated.

Reference simulations with the established Consortium for Small-scale Modelling (COSMO) numerical weather prediction model and further standard LES codes are performed and used as a reference. This comprehensive evaluation approach covers multiple parameters and scales, focusing on boundary-layer variables, clouds and precipitation. The evaluation points to the need to work on parametrizations influencing the surface energy balance, and possibly on ice cloud microphysics. The central purpose for the development and application of ICON in the LES configuration is the use of simulation results to improve the understanding of moist processes, as well as their parametrization in climate models. The evaluation thus aims at building confidence in the model's ability to simulate small- to mesoscale variability in turbulence, clouds and precipitation. The results are encouraging: the high-resolution model matches the observed variability much better at small- to mesoscales than the coarser resolved reference model. In its highest grid resolution, the simulated turbulence profiles are realistic and column water vapour matches the observed temporal variability at short time-scales. Despite being somewhat too large and too frequent, small cumulus clouds are well represented in comparison with satellite data, as is the shape of the cloud size spectrum. Variability of cloud water matches the satellite observations much better in ICON than in the reference model. In this sense, it is concluded that the model is fit for the purpose of using its output for parametrization development, despite the potential to improve further some important aspects of processes that are also parametrized in the high-resolution model.}, language = {en} } @misc{FischerSchlechte, author = {Fischer, Frank and Schlechte, Thomas}, title = {Strong Relaxations for the Train Timetabling Problem using Connected Configurations}, issn = {1438-0064}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0297-zib-64743}, abstract = {The task of the train timetabling problem or track allocation problem is to find conflict free schedules for a set of trains with predefined routes in a railway network.

Therefore, the state space of the chain has to be hierarchically decomposed into its metastable conformations. This is done by means of combining the technique of conformation analysis as recently introduced by the authors, and appropriate annealing strategies.

In this context a track allocation defines the precise routing of trains through a railway network, which usually has only a limited capacity. Moreover, the departure and arrival times at the visited stations of each train must simultaneously meet several operational and safety requirements. The problem to find the 'best possible' allocation for all trains is called the track allocation problem (TTP). Railway systems can be modeled on a very detailed scale covering the behavior of individual trains and the safety system to a large extent. However, those microscopic models are too big and not scalable to large networks, which make them inappropriate for mathematical optimization on a network wide level. Hence, most network optimization approaches consider simplified, so called macroscopic, models. In the first part we take a look at the challenge to construct a reliable and condensed macroscopic model for the associated microscopic model and to facilitate the transition between both models of different scale. In the main part we focus on the optimization problem for macroscopic models of the railway system. Based on classical graph-theoretical tools the track allocation problem is formulated to determine conflict-free paths in corresponding time-expanded graphs. We present standard integer programming model formulations for the track allocation problem that model resource or block conflicts in terms of packing constraints. In addition, we discuss the role of maximal clique inequalities and the concept of configuration networks. We will also present classical decomposition approaches like Lagrangian relaxation and bundle methods. Furthermore, we will discuss recently developed techniques, e.g., dynamic graph generation.
