It is required for nearly all kinds of text synthesis, writing assistance, and dialogue-management tools. While various tasks have been tackled in the area of computational argumentation, such as argumentation mining and quality assessment, the task of the computational analysis of argumentation strategies in texts has so far been overlooked. This thesis principally approaches the analysis of the strategies manifested in the persuasive argumentative discourses that aim for persuasion as well as in the deliberative argumentative discourses that aim for consensus. To this end, the thesis presents a novel view of argumentation strategies for the above two goals. Based on this view, new models for pragmatic and stylistic argument attributes are proposed, new methods for the identification of the modelled attributes have been developed, and a new set of strategy principles in texts according to the identified attributes is presented and explored. Overall, the thesis contributes to the theory, data, method, and evaluation aspects of the analysis of argumentation strategies. The models, methods, and principles developed and explored in this thesis can be regarded as essential for promoting the applications mentioned above, among others.}, subject = {Argumentation}, language = {en} } @misc{Alabassy, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Alabassy, Mohamed Said Helmy}, title = {Automated Approach for Building Information Modelling of Crack Damages via Image Segmentation and Image-based 3D Reconstruction}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.6416}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20230818-64162}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {101}, abstract = {As machine vision-based inspection methods in the field of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) continue to advance, the need for integrating resulting inspection and maintenance data into a centralised building information model for structures notably grows. Consequently, the modelling of found damages based on those images in a streamlined automated manner becomes increasingly important, not just for saving time and money spent on updating the model to include the latest information gathered through each inspection, but also to easily visualise them, provide all stakeholders involved with a comprehensive digital representation containing all the necessary information to fully understand the structure's current condition, keep track of any progressing deterioration, estimate the reduced load bearing capacity of the damaged element in the model or simulate the propagation of cracks to make well-informed decisions interactively and facilitate maintenance actions that optimally extend the service life of the structure. Though significant progress has been recently made in information modelling of damages, the current devised methods for the geometrical modelling approach are cumbersome and time consuming to implement in a full-scale model. For crack damages, an approach for a feasible automated image-based modelling is proposed utilising neural networks, classical computer vision and computational geometry techniques with the aim of creating valid shapes to be introduced into the information model, including related semantic properties and attributes from inspection data (e.g., width, depth, length, date, etc.). The creation of such models opens the door for further possible uses ranging from more accurate structural analysis possibilities to simulation of damage propagation in model elements, estimating deterioration rates and allows for better documentation, data sharing, and realistic visualisation of damages in a 3D model.}, subject = {Building Information Modeling}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Alkam, author = {Alkam, Feras}, title = {Vibration-based Monitoring of Concrete Catenary Poles using Bayesian Inference}, volume = {2021}, publisher = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}tsverlag}, address = {Weimar}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4433}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210526-44338}, school = {Bauhaus-Universit{\"a}t Weimar}, pages = {177}, abstract = {This work presents a robust status monitoring approach for detecting damage in cantilever structures based on logistic functions.

Catenary poles are used worldwide to support overhead power lines for electric trains. The performance of the catenary poles has an extensive influence on the integrity of the train systems and, consequently, the connected human services. It became a must nowadays to develop SHM systems that provide the instantaneous status of catenary poles in- service, making the decision-making processes to keep or repair the damaged poles more feasible. This study develops a data-driven, model-free approach for status monitoring of cantilever structures, focusing on pre-stressed, spun-cast ultrahigh-strength concrete catenary poles installed along high-speed train tracks. The pro-posed approach evaluates multiple damage features in an unfied damage index, which leads to straightforward interpretation and comparison of the output. Besides, it distinguishes between multiple damage scenarios of the poles, either the ones caused by material degradation of the concrete or by the cracks that can be propagated during the life span of the given structure. Moreover, using a logistic function to classify the integrity of structure avoids the expensive learning step in the existing damage detection approaches, namely, using the modern machine and deep learning methods. The findings of this study look very promising when applied to other types of cantilever structures, such as the poles that support the power transmission lines, antenna masts, chimneys, and wind turbines.}, subject = {Fahrleitung}, language = {en} } @article{AlkamLahmer, author = {Alkam, Feras and Lahmer, Tom}, title = {Eigenfrequency-Based Bayesian Approach for Damage Identification in Catenary Poles}, series = {Infrastructures}, volume = {2021}, journal = {Infrastructures}, number = {Volume 6, issue 4, article 57}, publisher = {MDPI}, address = {Basel}, doi = {10.3390/infrastructures6040057}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20210510-44256}, pages = {1 -- 19}, abstract = {This study proposes an efficient Bayesian, frequency-based damage identification approach to identify damages in cantilever structures with an acceptable error rate, even at high noise levels. The catenary poles of electric high-speed train systems were selected as a realistic case study to cover the objectives of this study. Compared to other frequency-based damage detection approaches described in the literature, the proposed approach is efficiently able to detect damages in cantilever structures to higher levels of damage detection, namely identifying both the damage location and severity using a low-cost structural health monitoring (SHM) system with a limited number of sensors; for example, accelerometers. The integration of Bayesian inference, as a stochastic framework, in the proposed approach, makes it possible to utilize the benefit of data fusion in merging the informative data from multiple damage features, which increases the quality and accuracy of the results.

While this offers numerous environmental advantages, it can have a considerable impact on the hygrothermal performance of the facade as such systems involve bringing large quantities of water onto the facade. As it is difficult to represent complex entities such as plants in the typical simulation tools used for heat and moisture transport, this study suggests a new approach to tackle this challenge by coupling two tools: ENVI-Met and Delphin. ENVI-Met was used to simulate the impact of the plants to determine the local environmental parameters at the living wall. Delphin, on the other hand, was used to conduct the hygrothermal simulations using the local parameters calculated by ENVI-Met. Four wall constructions were investigated in this study: an uninsulated brick wall, a precast concrete plate, a sandy limestone wall, and a double-shell wall. The results showed that the living wall improved the U-value, the exterior surface temperature, and the heat flux through the wall. Moreover, the living wall did not increase the risk of moisture in the wall during winter and eliminated the risk of condensation.}, subject = {Feuchteleitung}, language = {en} } @article{AlsaadVoelker, author = {Alsaad, Hayder and V{\"o}lker, Conrad}, title = {Qualitative evaluation of the flow supplied by personalized ventilation using schlieren imaging and thermography}, series = {Building and Environment}, volume = {2020}, journal = {Building and Environment}, number = {Volume 167, article 106450}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {New York}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4511}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20211008-45117}, pages = {11}, abstract = {Personalized ventilation (PV) is a mean of delivering conditioned outdoor air into the breathing zone of the occupants. This study aims to qualitatively investigate the personalized flows using two methods of visualization: (1) schlieren imaging using a large schlieren mirror and (2) thermography using an infrared camera. While the schlieren imaging was used to render the velocity and mass transport of the supplied flow, thermography was implemented to visualize the air temperature distribution induced by the PV. Both studies were conducted using a thermal manikin to simulate an occupant facing a PV outlet. As a reference, the flow supplied by an axial fan and a cased axial fan was visualized with the schlieren system as well and compared to the flow supplied by PV. Schlieren visualization results indicate that the steady, low-turbulence flow supplied by PV was able to penetrate the thermal convective boundary layer encasing the manikin's body, providing clean air for inhalation. Contrarily, the axial fan diffused the supplied air over a large target area with high turbulence intensity; it only disturbed the convective boundary layer rather than destroying it. The cased fan supplied a flow with a reduced target area which allowed supplying more air into the breathing zone compared to the fan. The results of thermography visualization showed that the supplied cool air from PV penetrated the corona-shaped thermal boundary layer. Furthermore, the supplied air cooled the surface temperature of the face, which indicates the large impact of PV on local thermal sensation and comfort.}, subject = {Bildverarbeitung}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AlsaadVoelker, author = {Alsaad, Hayder and V{\"o}lker, Conrad}, title = {Measuring and visualizing the flow supplied by personalized ventilation}, series = {Proceedings Book Roomvent 2020}, booktitle = {Proceedings Book Roomvent 2020}, address = {Turin, Italy}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.4657}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20220622-46573}, abstract = {This study investigates the flow supplied by personalized ventilation (PV) by means of anemometer measurements and schlieren visualization. The study was conducted using a thermal manikin to simulate a seated occupant facing a PV outlet. Air velocity was measured at multiple points in the flow field; the collected velocity values were used to calculate the turbulence intensity. Results indicated that PV was supplying air with low turbulence intensity that was able to penetrate the convective boundary layer of the manikin to supply clean air for inhalation. The convective boundary layer, however, obstructed the supplied flow and reduced its velocity by a total of 0.26 m/s. The PV flow preserved its value until about 10 cm from the face where velocity started to drop. Further investigations were conducted to test a PV diffuser with a relatively large outlet diameter (18 cm). This diffuser was developed using 3d-modelling and 3d-printing. The diffuser successfully distributed the flow over the larger outlet area.
