It critically discusses the contradictions of the production of residences in Brazil made by an emerging so-cial group, lately called the Brazilian new middle class. For the last ten years, a number of government policies have provoked a general improvement of the purchasing power of the poor. Between those who completely depend on the government to survive and the upper middle class, there is a wide (about 100 million people) and economically stable lower middle group, which has found its own ways of dealing with its demand for housing. The conventional models of planning, building and buying are not suitable for their technical, financial and personal needs. Therefore, they are con-currently planners, constructors and residents, building and renovating their own properties themselves, but still with very limited education and technical knowledge and restricted access to good building materials and constructive ele-ments, formal technicians, architects or engineers. On the one hand, the result is an informal and more or less autono-mous self-production, with all sorts of technical problems and very interesting and creative spatial solutions to every-day domestic situations. On the other hand, the repercussions for urban space are questionable: although basic infrastructure conditions have improved, building densities are high and green areas are few. Lower middle class neigh-bourhoods present a restricted collective everyday life. They look like storage spaces for manpower; people who live to work in order to be able to consume—and build—what they could not before. One question is, to what extent the lat-est economic rise of Brazil has really resulted in social development for lower middle income families in the private sphere regarding their residences, and in the collective sphere, regarding the neighbourhoods they inhabit and the ur-ban space in general.}, subject = {Brasilien}, language = {en} } @article{Schuch, author = {Schuch, Kai}, title = {Theoretische Modelle zur Beschreibung des Aggregationsprozesses von w{\"a}ssrigen Alkalisilikatsolen (Wasserglas) durch spezielle Gelinitiatoren zum Aufbau von stabilen silikatischen Schichtmaterialien}, series = {Steuerung des Aggregationsprozesses in w{\"a}ssrigen Alkalisilikatsolendurch spezielle Gelinitiatoren und moderate W{\"a}rmebehandlung zum Aufbau einer stabilen Silikatbeschichtung}, journal = {Steuerung des Aggregationsprozesses in w{\"a}ssrigen Alkalisilikatsolendurch spezielle Gelinitiatoren und moderate W{\"a}rmebehandlung zum Aufbau einer stabilen Silikatbeschichtung}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2480}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20151123-24807}, abstract = {In dem Artikel werden die theoretischen Modelle und die Zusammenfassung aus der Dissertation von Kai Schuch, Bauhaus Universit{\"a}t Weimar 2014, zusammengef{\"u}hrt.}, subject = {Wasserglas}, language = {de} } @article{KonichNikitinKlimenkoetal., author = {Konich, Kira and Nikitin, Igor and Klimenko, Stanislav and Malofeev, Valery and Tyul'bashev, Sergey}, title = {Radio Astronomical Monitoring in Virtual Environment}, series = {Procedia Computer Science}, journal = {Procedia Computer Science}, doi = {10.1016/j.procs.2015.11.067}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170425-31431}, pages = {592 -- 601}, abstract = {We present StarWatch, our application for real-time analysis of radio astronomical data in Virtual Environment.

Originally designed for the database of narrow band signals from SETI Institute (setilive.org), the application has been recently extended for the detection of wide band periodic signals, necessary for the search of pulsars.

The solution strategy is known as Elitist Non-Dominated Sorting Evolution Strategy (ENSES) wherein Evolution Strategies (ES) as Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) in the elitist Non-dominated Sorting Genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) procedure. Evolutionary algorithm seems a compatible approach to resolve multi-objective optimization problems because it is inspired by natural evolution, which closely linked to Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques and elitism has shown an important factor for improving evolutionary multi-objective search. In order to evaluate the notion of performance by ENSES, the well-known study case of sandwich structures are reconsidered. For Case 1, the goals of the multi-objective optimization are minimization of the deflection and the weight of the sandwich structures. The length, the core and skin thicknesses are the design variables of Case 1. For Case 2, the objective functions are the fabrication cost, the beam weight and the end deflection of the sandwich structures. There are four design variables i.e., the weld height, the weld length, the beam depth and the beam width in Case 2. Numerical results are presented in terms of Paretooptimal solutions for both evaluated cases.}, subject = {Optimierung}, language = {en} } @article{MortazaviPereiraJiangetal., author = {Mortazavi, Bohayra and Pereira, Luiz Felipe C. and Jiang, Jin-Wu and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Modelling heat conduction in polycrystalline hexagonal boron-nitride films}, series = {Scientific Reports}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, doi = {10.1038/srep13228}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170425-31534}, abstract = {We conducted extensive molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the thermal conductivity of polycrystalline hexagonal boron-nitride (h-BN) films.

Using the EMD results, we constructed finite element models of polycrystalline h-BN sheets to probe the thermal conductivity of samples with larger grain sizes. Our multiscale investigations not only provide a general viewpoint regarding the heat conduction in h-BN films but also propose that polycrystalline h-BN sheets present high thermal conductivity comparable to monocrystalline sheets.}, subject = {W{\"a}rmeleitf{\"a}higkeit}, language = {en} } @article{Koenig, author = {K{\"o}nig, Reinhard}, title = {Interview on Information Architecture}, series = {Swiss Architecture in the Moving Image}, journal = {Swiss Architecture in the Moving Image}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2507}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20180422-25078}, pages = {151 -- 154}, abstract = {Interview on Information Architecture}, subject = {Architektur}, language = {en} } @article{OtholdVoss, author = {Othold, Tim and Voss, Christiane}, title = {From media anthropology to anthropomediality}, series = {Anthropological Notebooks}, journal = {Anthropological Notebooks}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3157}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170425-31573}, pages = {75 -- 82}, abstract = {Media anthropology is a new and interdisciplinary field of research with very different subjects and methods that seems to be already heavily informed by a comparatively narrow understanding of media as mass media (e.g. TV, Internet, social web, etc.). Therefore, most theories in this field, at least implicitly, employ a hierarchical and often dichotomic preconception of the two poles of media-human relations, by analysing the operationalities and ontologies of the human and the media independently from one another. This article deviates from this line of thought by advocating an expanded, symmetrical and relational understanding of the terms media and human, taking them as always already intermingled facets of a broader dynamic configuration. Starting from a consideration of the historically powerful, yet overlooked media of the so-called habitat diorama, the heuristic concept of "anthropomediality" is to be developed. Eventually, this relational approach may open up a new, interesting field for interrogation of (media-)anthropological analysis in general.}, subject = {Medien}, language = {en} } @article{Bargstaedt, author = {Bargst{\"a}dt, Hans-Joachim}, title = {Challenges of BIM for Construction Site Operations}, series = {Procedia Engineering}, journal = {Procedia Engineering}, doi = {10.1016/j.proeng.2015.08.123}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170413-31218}, pages = {52 -- 59}, abstract = {Building Information Modeling is a powerful tool for the design and for a consistent set of data in a virtual storage.
