Modern cryptography has become an often ubiquitous but essential part of our daily lives. Protocols for secure authentication and encryption protect our communication with various digital services, from private messaging, online shopping, to bank transactions or exchanging sensitive information. Those high-level protocols can naturally be only as secure as the authentication or encryption schemes underneath. Moreover, on a more detailed level, those schemes can also at best inherit the security of their underlying primitives. While widespread standards in modern symmetric-key cryptography, such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), have shown to resist analysis until now, closer analysis and design of related primitives can deepen our understanding.
The present thesis consists of two parts that portray six contributions: The first part considers block-cipher cryptanalysis of the round-reduced AES, the AES-based tweakable block cipher Kiasu-BC, and TNT. The second part studies the design, analysis, and implementation of provably secure authenticated encryption schemes.
In general, cryptanalysis aims at finding distinguishable properties in the output distribution. Block ciphers are a core primitive of symmetric-key cryptography which are useful for the construction of various higher-level schemes, ranging from authentication, encryption, authenticated encryption up to integrity protection. Therefore, their analysis is crucial to secure cryptographic schemes at their lowest level. With rare exceptions, block-cipher cryptanalysis employs a systematic strategy of investigating known attack techniques. Modern proposals are expected to be evaluated against these techniques. The considerable effort for evaluation, however, demands efforts not only from the designers but also from external sources.
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is one of the most widespread block ciphers nowadays. Therefore, it is naturally an interesting target for further analysis. Tweakable block ciphers augment the usual inputs of a secret key and a public plaintext by an additional public input called tweak. Among various proposals through the previous decade, this thesis identifies Kiasu-BC as a noteworthy attempt to construct a tweakable block cipher that is very close to the AES. Hence, its analysis intertwines closely with that of the AES and illustrates the impact of the tweak on its security best. Moreover, it revisits a generic tweakable block cipher Tweak-and-Tweak (TNT) and its instantiation based on the round-reduced AES.
The first part investigates the security of the AES against several forms of differential cryptanalysis, developing distinguishers on four to six (out of ten) rounds of AES. For Kiasu-BC, it exploits the additional freedom in the tweak to develop two forms of differential-based attacks: rectangles and impossible differentials. The results on Kiasu-BC consider an additional round compared to attacks on the (untweaked) AES. The authors of TNT had provided an initial security analysis that still left a gap between provable guarantees and attacks. Our analysis conducts a considerable step towards closing this gap. For TNT-AES - an instantiation of TNT built upon the AES round function - this thesis further shows how to transform our distinguisher into a key-recovery attack.
Many applications require the simultaneous authentication and encryption of transmitted data. Authenticated encryption (AE) schemes provide both properties. Modern AE schemes usually demand a unique public input called nonce that must not repeat. Though, this requirement cannot always be guaranteed in practice. As part of a remedy, misuse-resistant and robust AE tries to reduce the impact of occasional misuses. However, robust AE considers not only the potential reuse of nonces. Common authenticated encryption also demanded that the entire ciphertext would have to be buffered until the authentication tag has been successfully verified. In practice, this approach is difficult to ensure since the setting may lack the resources for buffering the messages. Moreover, robustness guarantees in the case of misuse are valuable features.
The second part of this thesis proposes three authenticated encryption schemes: RIV, SIV-x, and DCT. RIV is robust against nonce misuse and the release of unverified plaintexts. Both SIV-x and DCT provide high security independent from nonce repetitions. As the core under SIV-x, this thesis revisits the proof of a highly secure parallel MAC, PMAC-x, revises its details, and proposes SIV-x as a highly secure authenticated encryption scheme. Finally, DCT is a generic approach to have n-bit secure deterministic AE but without the need of expanding the ciphertext-tag string by more than n bits more than the plaintext.
From its first part, this thesis aims to extend the understanding of the (1) cryptanalysis of round-reduced AES, as well as the understanding of (2) AES-like tweakable block ciphers. From its second part, it demonstrates how to simply extend known approaches for (3) robust nonce-based as well as (4) highly secure deterministic authenticated encryption.
Within the scope of literature, the influence of openings within the infill walls that are bounded by a reinforced concrete frame and excited by seismic drift forces in both in- and out-of-plane direction is still uncharted. Therefore, a 3D micromodel was developed and calibrated thereafter, to gain more insight in the topic. The micromodels were calibrated against their equivalent physical test specimens of in-plane, out-of-plane drift driven tests on frames with and without infill walls and openings, as well as out-of-plane bend test of masonry walls. Micromodels were rectified based on their behavior and damage states. As a result of the calibration process, it was found that micromodels were sensitive and insensitive to various parameters, regarding the model’s behavior and computational stability. It was found that, even within the same material model, some parameters had more effects when attributed to concrete rather than on masonry. Generally, the in-plane behavior of infilled frames was found to be largely governed by the interface material model. The out-of-plane masonry wall simulations were governed by the tensile strength of both the interface and masonry material model. Yet, the out-of-plane drift driven test was governed by the concrete material properties.
Die Haltungen des Architekten Luigi Snozzi. Untersucht am Beispiel des Projektes Monte Carasso
(2021)
Welche Haltung spricht aus den Werken von Architekt*innen? Lassen sich Werte und Handlungsanweisungen von Mauern und Plänen ablesen? Luigi Snozzis Entwürfe für Monte Carasso werden in dieser Arbeit exemplarisch darauf untersucht. Sie zeugen von der Verantwortung, die jede*r Architekt*in für das Umfeld hat, in dem sie oder er baut.
Ohne das fast achtzigjährige Wirken des Allgemeinen Deutschen Musikvereins (ADMV) würde das deutsche Musikleben in seiner heutigen Form nicht existieren. Die Dokumentation der Programme zu seinen von 1859 bis 1937 nahezu jährlich anderen Orts veranstalteten Musikfesten erschließt erstmals grundlegende Quellen hierzu. Diese Datenbasis vertieft für den Zeitraum von vier deutschen Systemen den Diskurs über Probleme der Repertoirebildung, Institutionalisierung, Kommerzialisierung und Mediation von Musik.
1861 als erster überregionaler deutscher Musikverein mit dem offiziellen Ziel der Integration musikalisch gegensätzlicher zeitgenössischer Richtungen und künstlerischen Nachwuchsförderung konstituiert, trat der ADMV einerseits kosmopolitisch auf, und seine Musikfeste entwickelten sich zu einem Forum für internationale zeitgenössische Musik wie einem Podium für die Wiederentdeckung älterer Musik. Hier erlebten Werke von Richard Strauss, Gustav Mahler und Arnold Schönberg frühe, vielbeachtete Aufführungen. Anderseits reiften parallel dazu protonationalistische Tendenzen zu einem Nationalismus heran, der die Musikfeste 1938 nahtlos in die nationalsozialistischen Reichsmusiktage überführen konnte.
Nach zahlreichen Standortwechseln sind die nunmehr restaurierten Materialien der einstigen Vereinsbibliothek und Vereinsakten im Hochschularchiv / Thüringischen Landesmusikarchiv Weimar sowie Goethe- und Schiller-Archiv Weimar wieder zugänglich. So wird jetzt eine erste kritische Edition der Festprogramme angeboten, in welcher die Programmfolge zu jeder Aufführung mit Werkangaben und dem Nachweis der Aufführenden prozessual von der Planung bis zur Präzisierung und Ergänzung bzw. Modifizierung rekonstruiert wurde. Darüber hinaus werden alle wissenschaftlichen Vorträge, Haupt- u. a. Versammlungen, Beratungen und die gesamten Personalia des Vereins und der jeweiligen Lokalkomitees dokumentiert sowie lassen sich Komponisten und Interpreten über Indizes erschließen.
Diese Publikation ist im von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft geförderten Projekt Der Allgemeine Deutsche Musikverein (ADMV, 1861–1937) – ein internationales Forum der Musik in Deutschlands Mitte am Gemeinsamen Institut für Musikwissenschaft Weimar-Jena der Hochschule für Musik FRANZ LISZT und der Friedrich-Schiller-Universität entstanden.

Die US-amerikanische Kulturanthropologin Christina Schwenkel legt mit Building socialism eine quellengesättigte ethnografische Studie über Zerstörung, Wiederaufbau und Nutzungsperspektiven der vietnamesischen Stadt Vinh vor. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf den agencies der Beteiligten. Im Zentrum der Untersuchung steht ein Quartier, dessen Wohnblocks mit materieller und ideeller Unterstützung der DDR errichtet wurden. Nicht nur sind die methodischen Zugänge der Untersuchung vielversprechend und gewinnbringend – angesichts des drohenden Stadtumbaus, der für die Bewohner:innen des Quartiers Quang Trung Abriss und Verdrängung bedeuten würde, gewinnt ihre städtebauhistorische Ethnografie auch an politischer Relevanz.
The concept of information entropy together with the principle of maximum entropy to open channel flow is essentially based on some physical consideration of the problem under consideration. This paper is a discussion on Yeganeh and Heidari (2020)’s paper, who proposed a new approach for measuring vertical distribution of streamwise velocity in open channels. The discussers argue that their approach is conceptually incorrect and thus leads to a physically unrealistic situation. In addition, the discussers found some wrong mathematical expressions (which are assumed to be typos) written in the paper, and also point out that the authors did not cite some of the original papers on the topic.
In the last two decades, Peridynamics (PD) attracts much attention in the field of fracture mechanics. One key feature of PD is the nonlocality, which is quite different from the ideas in conventional methods such as FEM and meshless method. However, conventional PD suffers from problems such as constant horizon, explicit algorithm, hourglass mode. In this thesis, by examining the nonlocality with scrutiny, we proposed several new concepts such as dual-horizon (DH) in PD, dual-support (DS) in smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), nonlocal operators and operator energy functional. The conventional PD (SPH) is incorporated in the DH-PD (DS-SPH), which can adopt an inhomogeneous discretization and inhomogeneous support domains. The DH-PD (DS-SPH) can be viewed as some fundamental improvement on the conventional PD (SPH). Dual formulation of PD and SPH allows h-adaptivity while satisfying the conservations of linear momentum, angular momentum and energy. By developing the concept of nonlocality further, we introduced the nonlocal operator method as a generalization of DH-PD. Combined with energy functional of various physical models, the nonlocal forms based on dual-support concept are derived. In addition, the variation of the energy functional allows implicit formulation of the nonlocal theory. At last, we developed the higher order nonlocal operator method which is capable of solving higher order partial differential equations on arbitrary domain in higher dimensional space. Since the concepts are developed gradually, we described our findings chronologically.
In chapter 2, we developed a DH-PD formulation that includes varying horizon sizes and solves the "ghost force" issue. The concept of dual-horizon considers the unbalanced interactions between the particles with different horizon sizes. The present formulation fulfills both the balances of linear momentum and angular momentum exactly with arbitrary particle discretization. All three peridynamic formulations, namely bond based, ordinary state based and non-ordinary state based peridynamics can be implemented within the DH-PD framework. A simple adaptive refinement procedure (h-adaptivity) is proposed reducing the computational cost. Both two- and three- dimensional examples including the Kalthoff-Winkler experiment and plate with branching cracks are tested to demonstrate the capability of the method.
In chapter 3, a nonlocal operator method (NOM) based on the variational principle is proposed for the solution of waveguide problem in computational electromagnetic field. Common differential operators as well as the variational forms are defined within the context of nonlocal operators. The present nonlocal formulation allows the assembling of the tangent stiffness matrix with ease, which is necessary for the eigenvalue analysis of the waveguide problem. The present formulation is applied to solve 1D Schrodinger equation, 2D electrostatic problem and the differential electromagnetic vector wave equations based on electric fields.
In chapter 4, a general nonlocal operator method is proposed which is applicable for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) of mechanical problems. The nonlocal operator can be regarded as the integral form, ``equivalent'' to the differential form in the sense of a nonlocal interaction model. The variation of a nonlocal operator plays an equivalent role as the derivatives of the shape functions in the meshless methods or those of the finite element method. Based on the variational principle, the residual and the tangent stiffness matrix can be obtained with ease. The nonlocal operator method is enhanced here also with an operator energy functional to satisfy the linear consistency of the field. A highlight of the present method is the functional derived based on the nonlocal operator can convert the construction of residual and stiffness matrix into a series of matrix multiplications using the predefined nonlocal operators. The nonlocal strong forms of different functionals can be obtained easily via the concept of support and dual-support. Several numerical examples of different types of PDEs are presented.
In chapter 5, we extended the NOM to higher order scheme by using a higher order Taylor series expansion of the unknown field. Such a higher order scheme improves the original NOM in chapter 3 and chapter 4, which can only achieve one-order convergence. The higher order NOM obtains all partial derivatives with specified maximal order simultaneously without resorting to shape functions. The functional based on the nonlocal operators converts the construction of residual and stiffness matrix into a series of matrix multiplication on the nonlocal operator matrix. Several numerical examples solved by strong form or weak form are presented to show the capabilities of this method.
In chapter 6, the NOM proposed as a particle-based method in chapter 3,4,5, has difficulty in imposing accurately the boundary conditions of various orders. In this paper, we converted the particle-based NOM into a scheme with interpolation property. The new scheme describes partial derivatives of various orders at a point by the nodes in the support and takes advantage of the background mesh for numerical integration. The boundary conditions are enforced via the modified variational principle. The particle-based NOM can be viewed a special case of NOM with interpolation property when nodal integration is used. The scheme based on numerical integration greatly improves the stability of the method, as a consequence, the operator energy functional in particle-based NOM is not required. We demonstrated the capabilities of current method by solving the gradient solid problems and comparing the numerical results with the available exact solutions.
In chapter 7, we derived the DS-SPH in solid within the framework of variational principle. The tangent stiffness matrix of SPH can be obtained with ease, and can be served as the basis for the present implicit SPH. We proposed an hourglass energy functional, which allows the direct derivation of hourglass force and hourglass tangent stiffness matrix. The dual-support is {involved} in all derivations based on variational principles and is automatically satisfied in the assembling of stiffness matrix. The implementation of stiffness matrix comprises with two steps, the nodal assembly based on deformation gradient and global assembly on all nodes. Several numerical examples are presented to validate the method.
Realistic uncertainty description incorporating aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties can be described within the framework of polymorphic uncertainty, which is computationally demanding. Utilizing a domain decomposition approach for random field based uncertainty models the proposed level-based sampling method can reduce these computational costs significantly and shows good agreement with a standard sampling technique. While 2-level configurations tend to get unstable with decreasing sampling density 3-level setups show encouraging results for the investigated reliability analysis of a structural unit square.
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. The findings provide the decision-maker with the information required to manage the maintenance, repair, or replacement procedures.
Die Auseinandersetzung mit der Digitalisierung ist in den letzten Jahren in den Medien, auf Konferenzen und in Ausschüssen der Bau- und Immobilienbranche angekommen. Während manche Bereiche Neuerungen hervorbringen und einige Akteure als Pioniere zu bezeichnen sind, weisen andere Themen noch Defizite hinsichtlich der digitalen Transformation auf. Zu dieser Kategorie kann auch das Baugenehmigungsverfahren gezählt werden. Unabhängig davon, wie Architekten und Ingenieure in den Planungsbüros auf innovative Methoden setzen, bleiben die Bauvorlagen bisher zuhauf in Papierform oder werden nach der elektronischen Einreichung in der Behörde ausgedruckt. Vorhandene Ressourcen, beispielsweise in Form eines Bauwerksinformationsmodells, die Unterstützung bei der Baugenehmigungsfeststellung bieten können, werden nicht ausgeschöpft. Um mit digitalen Werkzeugen eine Entscheidungshilfe für die Baugenehmigungsbehörden zu erarbeiten, ist es notwendig, den Ist-Zustand zu verstehen und Gegebenheiten zu hinterfragen, bevor eine Gesamtautomatisierung der innerbehördlichen Vorgänge als alleinige Lösung zu verfolgen ist.
Mit einer inhaltlich-organisatorischen Betrachtung der relevanten Bereiche, die Einfluss auf die Baugenehmigungsfeststellung nehmen, wird eine Optimierung des Baugenehmigungsverfahrens in den
Behörden angestrebt. Es werden die komplexen Bereiche, wie die Gesetzeslage, der Einsatz von Technologie aber auch die subjektiven Handlungsalternativen, ermittelt und strukturiert. Mit der Entwicklung eines Modells zur Feststellung der Baugenehmigungsfähigkeit wird sowohl ein Verständnis für Einflussfaktoren vermittelt als auch eine Transparenzsteigerung für alle Beteiligten geschaffen.
Neben einer internationalen Literaturrecherche diente eine empirische Studie als Untersuchungsmethode. Die empirische Studie wurde in Form von qualitativen Experteninterviews durchgeführt, um den Ist-Zustand im Bereich der Baugenehmigungsverfahren festzustellen. Das erhobene Datenmaterial wurde aufbereitet und anschließend einer softwaregestützten Inhaltsanalyse unterzogen. Die Ergebnisse wurden in Kombination mit den Erkenntnissen der Literaturrecherche in verschiedenen Analysen als Modellgrundlage aufgearbeitet.
Ergebnis der Untersuchung stellt ein Entscheidungsmodell dar, welches eine Lücke zwischen den gegenwärtigen
Abläufen in den Baubehörden und einer Gesamtautomatisierung der Baugenehmigungsprüfung schließt. Die prozessorientierte Strukturierung entscheidungsrelevanter Sachverhalte im Modell ermöglicht eine Unterstützung bei der Baugenehmigungsfeststellung für Prüfer und Antragsteller. Das theoretische Modell konnte in Form einer Webanwendung in die Praxis übertragen werden.
In vielen Leichtbauanwendungen ist der begrenzende Faktor die Schwingungsanfälligkeit der Bauteile. Eine Möglichkeit der Begrenzung von Schwingungsamplituden ist der gezielte Einsatz von Reibungsdämpfung in Leichtbaustrukturen. In dieser Arbeit wird der Einfluss dieser Art von Energiedissipation auf Leichtmetallstrukturen sowie topologieoptimierte Bauteil untersucht. Betrachtet werden dabei die Positionierung, Dimensionierung sowie die Reibeigenschaften dissipativer Elemente.
This paper presents numerical analysis of the discrete fundamental solution of the discrete Laplace operator on a rectangular lattice. Additionally, to provide estimates in interior and exterior domains, two different regularisations of the discrete fundamental solution are considered. Estimates for the absolute difference and lp-estimates are constructed for both regularisations. Thus, this work extends the classical results in the discrete potential theory to the case of a rectangular lattice and serves as a basis for future convergence analysis of the method of discrete potentials on rectangular lattices.
Bolted connections are commonly used in steel construction. The load-bearing behavior of bolt fittings has extensively been studied in various research activities and the bearing capacity of bolted connections can be assessed well by standard regulations for practical applications. With regard to tensile loading, the nut does not have strong influence on resistances, since the failure occurs in the bolts due to higher material strengths of the nuts. In some applications, so-called “blind holes” are used to connect plated components. In a manner of speaking, the nut is replaced by the “outer” plate with a prefabricated hole and thread, in which the bolt can be screwed and tightened. In such connections, the limit load capacity cannot solely be assessed by the bolt resistance, since the threaded hole in the base material has strong influence on the structural behavior. In this context, the available screw-in depth of the blind hole is of fundamental importance. The German National Annex of EN 1993-1-8 provides information on a necessary depth in order to transfer the full tensile capacity of the bolt. However, some connections do not allow to fabricate such depths. In these cases, the capacity of the connection is unclear and not specified. In this paper, first experiments on corresponding connections with different screw-in depths are presented and compared to limit load capacities according to the standard.
Das Kernthema dieser Arbeit ist die Beschäftigung mit den Folgen des Uranbergbaus in dem Gebiet um die ehemalige Abbauregion der Wismut SAG/SDAG in Ronneburg (Ostthüringen). Dieses Thema wird unter historischen, sozialen, kulturanthropologischen und künstlerischen Aspekten betrachtet und in den Zusammenhang mit den weltweiten Voraussetzungen der Nuklearindustrie und Auswirkungen des Uranbergbaus und seiner Folgen gestellt. Die Arbeit legt dar, wie eine Uranbergbaufolgelandschaft entsteht und welches Wissen ist für ein angemessenes Verständnis des Phänomens wichtig ist. Es wird untersucht, ob Kunst bezüglich der Uranbergbaufolgelandschaft einen relevanten Beitrag leisten kann bzw. in welcher Form dies versucht wurde, bzw. stellte Arbeiten vor, die verwandete Themen bearbeitet haben. In Kombination dieser beiden Hauptaspekte geht die Arbeit der Frage nach, welche Faktoren die Uranbergbaufolgelandschaft prägen und ob es sinnvolle Beteiligungsfelder für künstlerisches Forschen oder Handeln gibt sowie welche Bedingungen hierfür erfüllt werdenmüssten. Die Kernthese der Arbeit ist, dass künstlerische Arbeiten im Themenfeld des Uranbergbaus unter bestimmten Bedingungen relevante Beiträge leisten können.
This dissertation investigates the interactions between urban form, allocation of activities, and pedestrian movement in the context of urban planning. The ability to assess the long-term impact of urban planning decisions on what people do and how they get there is of central importance, with various disciplines addressing this topic. This study focuses on approaches proposed by urban morphologists, urban economists, and transportation planners, each aiming the attention at a different part of the form-activity-movement interaction. Even though there is no doubt about the advantages of these highly focused approaches, it remains unclear what is the cost of ignoring the effect of some interactions while considering others. The general aim of this dissertation is to empirically test the validity of the individual models and quantify the impact of this isolationist approach on their precision and bias.
For this purpose, we propose a joined form-activity-movement interaction model and conduct an empirical study in Weimar, Germany. We estimate how the urban form and activities affect movement as well as how movement and urban form affect activities. By estimating these effects in isolation and simultaneously, we assess the bias of the individual models.
On the one hand, the empirical study results confirm the significance of all interactions suggested by the individual models. On the other hand, we were able to show that when these interactions are estimated in isolation, the resulting predictions are biased. To conclude, we do not question the knowledge brought by transportation planners, urban morphologists, and urban economists. However, we argue that it might be of little use on its own.
We see the relevance of this study as being twofold. On the one hand, we proposed a novel methodological framework for the simultaneous estimation of the form-activity-movement interactions. On the other hand, we provide empirical evidence about the strengths and limitations of current approaches.
What is Afghan music and what is its contemporary state? This question seems important to ask, considering the conflictual recent past of the country that particularly affected cultural expressions such as music. In these four articles diverse perspectives on Afghan music are explored. From traditional music of the Afghan rubab and its masters up to popular music of the Afghan-German hiphop producer “Farhot”, various insights are given into phenomena yet barely covered in academic works. This collection provides glimpses into the variety of the music of Afghanistan and the Afghan diaspora and help to shape the Western views on the music of the country into more diverse perspectives. We move further away from the bias of the majority of media representations predominantly showing the conflictual sides of Afghanistan, at the same time avoiding a limiting and narrow view on Afghanistan with solely a musical tradition located in the past. These essays go beyond and outline that apart from a rich tradition, there are present forms of musical expression. We move from “Tradition to Television” and beyond, exploring views on the future of music connected to Afghanistan.
Für die Verminderung der betonspezifischen CO2-Emissionen wird ein verstärkter Einsatz klinkerreduzierter Zemente bzw. Betone angestrebt. Die Reduzierung des Klinkergehaltes darf jedoch nicht zu einer lebensdauerrelevanten Beeinträchtigung der Betondauerhaftigkeit führen. In diesem Zusammenhang stellt der Frost-Tausalz-Widerstand eine kritische Größe dar, da er bei höheren Klinkersubstitutionsraten häufig negativ beeinflusst wird. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass für klinkerreduzierte Betone nur ein unzureichender Erfahrungsschatz vorliegt. Ein hoher Frost-Tausalz-Widerstand kann daher nicht ausschließlich anhand deskriptiver Vorgaben gewährleistet werden. Demgemäß sollte perspektivisch auch für frost-tausalzbeanspruchte Bauteile eine performancebasierte Lebensdauerbetrachtung erfolgen.
Eine unverzichtbare Grundlage für das Erreichen dieser Ziele ist ein Verständnis für die Schadensvorgänge beim Frost-Tausalz-Angriff. Der Forschungsstand ist jedoch geprägt von widersprüchlichen Schadenstheorien. Somit wurde als Zielstellung für diese Arbeit abgeleitet, die existierenden Schadenstheorien unter Berücksichtigung des aktuellen Wissensstandes zu bewerten und mit eigenen Untersuchungen zu prüfen und einzuordnen. Die Sichtung des Forschungsstandes zeigte, dass nur zwei Theorien das Potential haben, den Frost-Tausalz-Angriff umfassend abzubilden – die Glue Spall Theorie und die Cryogenic Suction Theorie.
Die Glue Spall Theorie führt die Entstehung von Abwitterungen auf die mechanische Schädigung der Betonoberfläche durch eine anhaftende Eisschicht zurück. Dabei sollen nur bei moderaten Tausalzkonzentrationen in der einwirkenden Lösung kritische Spannungszustände in der Eisschicht auftreten, die eine Schädigung der Betonoberfläche hervorrufen können. In dieser Arbeit konnte jedoch nachgewiesen werden, dass starke Abwitterungen auch bei Tausalz¬konzentrationen auftreten, bei denen eine mechanische Schädigung des Betons durch das Eis auszuschließen ist. Damit wurde die fehlende Eignung der Glue Spall Theorie aufgezeigt.
Die Cryogenic Suction Theorie fußt auf den eutektischen Eigenschaften von Tausalz-lösungen, die im gefrorenen Zustand immer als Mischung auf festem Wassereis und flüssiger, hochkonzentrierter Salzlösung bestehen, solange ihre Eutektikumstemperatur nicht unter¬schritten wird. Die flüssige Phase im salzhaltigen Eis stellt für gefrorenen Beton ein bisher nicht berücksichtigtes Flüssigkeitsreservoir dar, welches trotz der hohen Salzkonzentration die Eisbildung in der Betonrandzone verstärken und so die Entstehung von Abwitterungen verursachen soll. In dieser Arbeit wurde bestätigt, dass die Eisbildung im Zementstein beim Gefrieren in hochkonzentrierter Tausalzlösung tatsächlich verstärkt wird. Das Ausmaß der zusätzlichen Eisbildung wurde dabei auch von der Fähigkeit des Zementsteins zur Bindung von Chloridionen aus der Tausalzlösung beeinflusst.
Zusammenfassend wurde festgestellt, dass die Cryogenic Suction Theorie eine gute Beschreibung des Frost-Tausalz-Angriffes darstellt, aber um weitere Aspekte ergänzt werden muss. Die Berücksichtigung der intensiven Sättigung von Beton durch den Prozess der Mikroeislinsenpumpe stellt hier die wichtigste Erweiterung dar. Basierend auf dieser Überlegung wurde eine kombinierte Schadenstheorie aufgestellt. Wichtige Annahmen dieser Theorie konnten experimentell bestätigt werden. Im Ergebnis wurde so die Grundlage für ein tiefergehendes Verständnis des Frost-Tausalz-Angriffes geschaffen. Zudem wurde ein neuer Ansatz identifiziert, um die (potentielle) Verringerung des Frost-Tausalz-Widerstandes klinkerreduzierter Betone zu erklären.
Die Auswirkungen der durch den Kapitalismus befeuerten Umweltzerstörung werden immer deutlicher erkennbar. Unsere Gesellschaft ist nun damit konfrontiert, dass ihre kulturelle Identität, aber auch ihr Wohlstand sowohl eng mit Konsum und Wirtschaftswachstum als auch mit der Gesundheit der Natur verbunden sind. Es scheint ein geeigneter Moment, um die Perspektive zu wechseln und einer neuen Form des Wachstums eine Chance zu geben. Pilze sind eine von der Region unabhängige, natürlich vorkommende Ressource, die lokal angebaut und verarbeitet werden kann, ohne die Umwelt zu belasten. Pilze sind klimafreundlich, müllvermeidend und in bestehende natürliche Kreisläufe inkludierbar. Kurzum, Pilze sind cool, doch das wissen nicht Viele. Das sollte sich ändern. Mit Myzelwachstum gegen das Wachstumsparadigma.
Multi-user virtual reality systems enable collocated as well as distributed users to perform collaborative activities in immersive virtual environments. A common activity in this context is to move from one location to the next as a group to explore the environment together. The simplest solution to realize these multi-user navigation processes is to provide each participant with a technique for individual navigation. However, this approach entails some potentially undesirable consequences such as the execution of a similar navigation sequence by each participant, a regular need for coordination within the group, and, related to this, the risk of losing each other during the navigation process.
To overcome these issues, this thesis performs research on group navigation techniques that move group members together through a virtual environment. The presented work was guided by four overarching research questions that address the quality requirements for group navigation techniques, the differences between collocated and distributed settings, the scalability of group navigation, and the suitability of individual and group navigation for various scenarios. This thesis approaches these questions by introducing a general conceptual framework as well as the specification of central requirements for the design of group navigation techniques. The design, implementation, and evaluation of corresponding group navigation techniques demonstrate the applicability of the proposed framework.
As a first step, this thesis presents ideas for the extension of the short-range teleportation metaphor, also termed jumping, for multiple users. It derives general quality requirements for the comprehensibility of the group jumping process and introduces a corresponding technique for two collocated users. The results of two user studies indicate that sickness symptoms are not affected by user roles during group jumping and confirm improved planning accuracy for the navigator, increased spatial awareness for the passenger, and reduced cognitive load for both user roles.
Next, this thesis explores the design space of group navigation techniques in distributed virtual environments. It presents a conceptual framework to systematize the design decisions for group navigation techniques based on Tuckman's model of small-group development and introduces the idea of virtual formation adjustments as part of the navigation process. A quantitative user study demonstrates that the corresponding extension of Multi-Ray Jumping for distributed dyads leads to more efficient travel sequences and reduced workload. The results of a qualitative expert review confirm these findings and provide further insights regarding the complementarity of individual and group navigation in distributed virtual environments.
Then, this thesis investigates the navigation of larger groups of distributed users in the context of guided museum tours and establishes three central requirements for (scalable) group navigation techniques. These should foster the awareness of ongoing navigation activities as well as facilitate the predictability of their consequences for all group members (Comprehensibility), assist the group with avoiding collisions in the virtual environment (Obstacle Avoidance), and support placing the group in a meaningful spatial formation for the joint observation and discussion of objects (View Optimization). The work suggests a new technique to address these requirements and reports on its evaluation in an initial usability study with groups of five to ten (partially simulated) users. The results indicate easy learnability for navigators and high comprehensibility for passengers. Moreover, they also provide valuable insights for the development of group navigation techniques for even larger groups.
Finally, this thesis embeds the previous contributions in a comprehensive literature overview and emphasizes the need to study larger, more heterogeneous, and more diverse group compositions including the related social factors that affect group dynamics.
In summary, the four major research contributions of this thesis are as follows:
- the framing of group navigation as a specific instance of Tuckman's model of small-group development
- the derivation of central requirements for effective group navigation techniques beyond common quality factors known from single-user navigation
- the introduction of virtual formation adjustments during group navigation and their integration into concrete group navigation techniques
- evidence that appropriate pre-travel information and virtual formation adjustments lead to more efficient travel sequences for groups and lower workloads for both navigators and passengers
Overall, the research of this thesis confirms that group navigation techniques are a valuable addition to the portfolio of interaction techniques in multi-user virtual reality systems. The conceptual framework, the derived quality requirements, and the development of novel group navigation techniques provide effective guidance for application developers and inform future research in this area.
