Analysis of the essential qualities of urban space could be made both more effective and more accurate using innovative information techniques that have become available in the era of big data. This study introduces an integrated method based on geographical information systems (GIS) and an emotion-tracking technique to quantify the relationship between people's emotional responses and urban space. This method can evaluate the degree to which people's emotional responses are influenced by multiple urban characteristics such as building shapes and textures, isovist parameters, visual entropy, and visual fractals. The results indicate that urban spaces may influence people's emotional responses through both spatial sequence arrangements and shifting scenario sequences. Emotional data were collected with body sensors and GPS devices. Spatial clustering was detected to target effective sampling locations; then, isovists were generated to extract building textures. Logistic regression and a receiver operating characteristic analysis were used to determine the key isovist parameters and the probabilities that they influenced people's emotion. Finally, based on the results, we make some suggestions for design professionals in the field of urban space optimization.}, subject = {Stadt}, language = {en} } @article{VuBacLahmerZhuangetal., author = {Vu-Bac, N. and Lahmer, Tom and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Nguyen-Thoi, T. and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {A software framework for probabilistic sensitivity analysis for computationally expensive models}, series = {Advances in Engineering Software}, journal = {Advances in Engineering Software}, pages = {19 -- 31}, abstract = {A software framework for probabilistic sensitivity analysis for computationally expensive models}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{TreyerKleinKoenigetal., author = {Treyer, Lukas and Klein, Bernhard and K{\"o}nig, Reinhard and Meixner, Christine}, title = {Lightweight Urban Computation Interchange (LUCI): A System to Couple Heterogenous Simulations and Views}, series = {Spatial Information Research}, journal = {Spatial Information Research}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2603}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20160622-26037}, pages = {1 -- 12}, abstract = {In this paper we introduce LUCI, a Lightweight Urban Calculation Interchange system, designed to bring the advantages of calculation and content co-ordination system to small planning and design groups by the means of an open source middle-ware.

Recent behavioral and neuroimaging studies reported that self-face identification not only relies upon visual-mnemonic representation of ones own face but also upon continuous updating and integration of visuo-tactile signals. Therefore, bodily self-consciousness plays a major role in self-face identification, with respect to interplay between unisensory and multisensory processing. However, if previous studies demonstrated that the integration of multisensory body-related signals contributes to the visual processing of ones own face, there is so far no data regarding how self-face identification, inversely, contributes to bodily self-consciousness. In the present study, we tested whether selfother face identification impacts either the egocentered or heterocentered visuo-spatial mechanisms that are core processes of bodily self-consciousness and sustain selfother distinction. For that, we developed a new paradigm, named Double Mirror. This paradigm, consisting of a semi-transparent double mirror and computer-controlled Light Emitting Diodes, elicits selfother face merging illusory effect in ecologically more valid conditions, i.e., when participants are physically facing each other and interacting. Self-face identification was manipulated by exposing pairs of participants to an Interpersonal Visual Stimulation in which the reflection of their faces merged in the mirror. Participants simultaneously performed visuo-spatial and mental own-body transformation tasks centered on their own face (egocentered) or the face of their partner (heterocentered) in the pre- and post-stimulation phase. We show that selfother face identification altered the egocentered visuo-spatial mechanisms. Heterocentered coding was preserved. Our data suggest that changes in self-face identification induced a bottom-up conflict between the current visual representation and the stored mnemonic representation of ones own face which, in turn, top-down impacted bodily self-consciousness.}, subject = {Gesicht}, language = {en} } @article{SmarslyHartmannRueppeletal., author = {Smarsly, Kay and Hartmann, Timo and R{\"u}ppel, Uwe and K{\"o}nig, Markus}, title = {Positionspapier des Arbeitskreis Bauinformatik}, editor = {Smarsly, Kay}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.3221}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170523-32219}, pages = {5}, abstract = {Die Bauinformatik ist eine S{\"a}ule der modernen Bau- und Umweltingenieurwissenschaften und befasst sich mit der Erforschung grundlegender informatorischer Methoden sowie mit der Anwendung und Weiterentwicklung der Informationswissenschaften im Bau- und Umweltbereich.

Nonetheless, Li-ion batteries suffer from temperature rises which sometimes lead to operational damages or may even cause fire. An appropriate solution to control the temperature changes during the operation of Li-ion batteries is to embed batteries inside a paraffin matrix to absorb and dissipate heat. In the present work, we aimed to investigate the possibility of making paraffin nanocomposites for better heat management of a Li-ion battery pack. To fulfill this aim, heat generation during a battery charging/discharging cycles was simulated using Newman's well established electrochemical pseudo-2D model. We couple this model to a 3D heat transfer model to predict the temperature evolution during the battery operation. In the later model, we considered different paraffin nanocomposites structures made by the addition of graphene, carbon nanotubes, and fullerene by assuming the same thermal conductivity for all fillers. This way, our results mainly correlate with the geometry of the fillers. Our results assess the degree of enhancement in heat dissipation of Li-ion batteries through the use of paraffin nanocomposites. Our results may be used as a guide for experimental set-ups to improve the heat management of Li-ion batteries.}, subject = {Batterie}, language = {en} } @article{Schuch, author = {Schuch, Kai}, title = {Theoretische Grundlagen zum Aggregationsprozess von Wassergl{\"a}sern im Hinblick auf silikatische Beschichtungen}, series = {Steuerung des Aggregationsprozesses in w{\"a}ssrigen Alkalisilikatsolen durch spezielle Gelinitiatoren und moderate W{\"a}rmebehandlung zum Aufbau einer stabilen Silikatbeschichtung}, journal = {Steuerung des Aggregationsprozesses in w{\"a}ssrigen Alkalisilikatsolen durch spezielle Gelinitiatoren und moderate W{\"a}rmebehandlung zum Aufbau einer stabilen Silikatbeschichtung}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.2497}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20160113-24971}, abstract = {Der Artikel beinhaltet den theoretischen Teil und die Ergebnisse der Dissertation von Kai Schuch, Bauhaus Universit{\"a}t Weimar, Nov. 2014}, subject = {Wasserglas}, language = {de} } @article{RafieeRabczukMilanietal., author = {Rafiee, Roham and Rabczuk, Timon and Milani, Abbas S. and Tserpes, Konstantinos I.}, title = {Advances in Characterization and Modeling of Nanoreinforced Composites}, series = {JOURNAL OF NANOMATERIALS}, journal = {JOURNAL OF NANOMATERIALS}, doi = {10.1155/2016/9481053}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170411-31134}, abstract = {This special issue deals with a range of recently developed characterization and modeling techniques employed to better understand and predict the response of nanoreinforced composites at different scales.}, subject = {Physikalische Eigenschaft}, language = {en} } @article{NguyenTuanLahmerDatchevaetal., author = {Nguyen-Tuan, Long and Lahmer, Tom and Datcheva, Maria and Stoimenova, Eugenia and Schanz, Tom}, title = {A novel parameter identification approach for buffer elements involving complex coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical analyses}, series = {Computers and Geotechnics}, journal = {Computers and Geotechnics}, pages = {23 -- 32}, abstract = {A novel parameter identification approach for buffer elements involving complex coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical analyses}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{NguyenTuanLahmerDatchevaetal., author = {Nguyen-Tuan, Long and Lahmer, Tom and Datcheva, Maria and Schanz, Tom}, title = {Global and local sensitivity analyses for coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical problems}, series = {International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics}, journal = {International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics}, abstract = {Global and local sensitivity analyses for coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical problems}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{NanthakumarLahmerZhuangetal., author = {Nanthakumar, S.S. and Lahmer, Tom and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Zi, Goangseup and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Detection of material interfaces using a regularized level set method in piezoelectric structures}, series = {Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering}, journal = {Inverse Problems in Science and Engineering}, pages = {153 -- 176}, abstract = {Detection of material interfaces using a regularized level set method in piezoelectric structures}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{NanthakumarLahmerZhuangetal., author = {Nanthakumar, S.S. and Lahmer, Tom and Zhuang, Xiaoying and Park, Harold S. and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Topology optimization of piezoelectric nanostructures}, series = {Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids}, journal = {Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids}, pages = {316 -- 335}, abstract = {Topology optimization of piezoelectric nanostructures}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{NanthakumarLahmerRabczuk, author = {Nanthakumar, S.S. and Lahmer, Tom and Rabczuk, Timon}, title = {Detection of multiple flaws in piezoelectric structures using XFEM and level sets}, series = {International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering}, journal = {International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering}, pages = {960}, abstract = {Detection of multiple flaws in piezoelectric structures using XFEM and level sets}, subject = {Angewandte Mathematik}, language = {en} } @article{MeyerKohlstockHauptHeldtetal., author = {Meyer-Kohlstock, Daniel and Haupt, Thomas and Heldt, Erik and Heldt, Nils and Kraft, Eckhard}, title = {Biochar as Additive in Biogas-Production from Bio-Waste}, series = {ENERGIES}, journal = {ENERGIES}, doi = {10.3390/en9040247}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170406-31119}, abstract = {Previous publications about biochar in anaerobic digestion show encouraging results with regard to increased biogas yields.

A substantial speed reduction is required by vehicles for diverging and making U-turn, and the deceleration lanes are provided for this purpose. These lanes are also providing a storage space for the U-turning vehicles to avoid unnecessary blockage of through lanes and reduce the potential of rear-end collisions. The safety at the U-turn is greatly influenced by the proper or improper use of the deceleration lanes. Subject to their length, full or partial speed adjustment can occur within the deceleration lane also the road users' behavior is influenced. To assess the safety impact, the four groups of U-turns with the varying length of deceleration lanes were identified. Owing to limitation of availability and reliability of road crash data in Thailand, widely accepted Traffic Conflict Technique (TCT) was used as an alternative and proactive methodology. The U-turns' geometric data, traffic conflicts and volume data were recorded in the field at 8 locations, 8 hours per location. Severity Conflict Rate (SCR) was assessed by applying a weighing factor (based on the severity grades according to the Czech TCT) to the observed conflicts related to the conflicting traffic volumes. A comparative higher value of SCR represents a lower level of safety. According to the results, increase in the functional length of the deceleration lane yields a lower value of SCR and a higher level of the road safety.}, subject = {Verkehrssicherheit}, language = {en} } @article{MeelBrannolteSatirasetthaveeetal., author = {Meel, Inder P. and Brannolte, Ulrich and Satirasetthavee, Dussadee and Kanitpong, Kunnawee}, title = {Safety impact of application of auxiliary lanes at downstream locations of Thai U-turns}, series = {IATSS Research}, journal = {IATSS Research}, doi = {10.1016/j.iatssr.2016.06.002}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20170401-31016}, abstract = {To assess the safety impact of auxiliary lanes at downstream locations of U-turns, the Traffic Conflict Technique was used.

The available crash data is unreliable, therefore to assess the level of road safety, Conflict Indexes were formulated to put more emphasis on severe crashes than on slight ones by using two types of weighting coefficients. The first coefficient was based on the subjective assessment of the seriousness of the conflict situation and the second was based on the relative speed and angle between conflicting streams. A comparatively higher Conflict Index value represents a lower level of road safety.
