Enhancing design representations of information and knowledge of complex and long-living assets by applying system modelling techniques
Authors: Laukotka Fabian Niklas , Berschik Markus Christian , Krause Dieter 
Published: May 2024

AbstractManaging general domain knowledge and asset-specific information in the form of digital representations is especially important and challenging when focusing on long-living and complex assets. Implicit knowledge and existing structures need to be captured and digitalised, ideally without introducing unnecessary complexity through unfamiliar wording or new structures. To achieve this, a methodical approach that utilises ontologies as well as system modelling techniques and focuses on early-stage model instantiation is presented and applied to the cabin retrofit of aircraft
Introducing a multipliable BOM-based automatic definition of information retrieval in plant engineering
Authors: Layer Max , Neubert Sebastian , Stelzer Ralph 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe complexity of process plants and the growing demand for digitalization require efficient and accurate information retrieval throughout the lifecycle phases of a process plant. This paper discusses the concept of instantiation and introduces a method for identifying and multiplying required information in plant engineering using scalable so-called Instantiation Blocks linked to the Bill of Material. Core functionality, an ontology graph and a user interface based on Python and React are developed to demonstrate the implementation of the framework and validate its effectiveness in practice.

Authors: Bosch Matthias J. , Nitzlader Markus , Bachmann Matthias , Binz Hansgeorg , Blandini Lucio , Kreimeyer Matthias 
Published: May 2024

AbstractAdaptive structures have the potential to play a significant role in saving resources in the construction industry in the future. For realisation, this requires actuators that meet the requirements of different buildings with their specific load-bearing structures. In the past, the actuators were mainly developed particularly for one exemplary load-bearing structure. This paper analyses the primary classifications for buildings, followed by challenges of adaptive structures, before outlining the draft of a framework for actuators for adaptive structures to speed up and simplify development.
Data- and simulation-based material behaviour prediction
Authors: Dybov Anton , Fresemann Carina , Stark Rainer 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIn research environments and laboratories e.g. for material sciences the in- and output of simulation data is manually managed. Therefore, physical experiments as well as simulations might be carried out several times, learnings are not systematically gathered, and experiments do not systematically build on learnings from data. This paper proposes to engage an ontology in conjunction with a simulation to use data from already carried out experiments and on that basis predict material behaviour under certain condition and plan further physical experiments.
From tears to tiers – architectural principles for federated PLM landscapes
Authors: Herzog Erik , Tingström Johan , Axehill Johanna Wallén , Nordling Larsson Åsa , Jouannet Christopher 
Published: May 2024

AbstractPLM systems are key enabling systems in the development of today's products. Introduction of a new PLM capability is an expensive and risky undertaking. Many implementation projects end in tears in the sense that they are frequently late or even cancelled. In this paper, a federated PLM architecture pattern – Genesis – is introduced and evaluated against prevalent PLM approaches. From an architecture perspective, Genesis with its two distinct integration tiers decrease the number of integration points and thus cost and complexity.
New methodology for the characterization of 3D model reconstructions to meet conditions of input data and requirements of downstream application
Authors: Joost Robert , Mönchinger Stephan , Lindow Kai 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIn the field of 3D model reconstruction, manifold methods have been developed that derive CAD models from 3D scan data. Opposed to classical CAD modelling, where surface and solid modelling exist, a further diversification of modelling techniques is observed, caused by different methods to build up the geometry. This research introduces a new classification, the so-called Level of Complexities. It can be applied to the complete Reverse Engineering process chain and lays the foundation for further research on how to match requirements arising from all process steps and downstream applications.
A comparative study of VR CAD modelling tools for design
Authors: Kukreja Aman , Cox Christopher Michael Jason , Gopsill James , Snider Chris 
Published: May 2024

AbstractWith recent advancements in Virtual reality (VR), 3D design in VR has gained significant interest from both academia and industries. However, the development of these VR CAD tools is either skewed towards the creative industry or simply mimicking conventional CAD. This paper presents three different tools, analyzes them, and compares their capabilities over various performance parameters. The paper finally suggests where these tools can be used in the design process and some critical pathways for developing VR-based CAD modeling software for practical use in the engineering design industry.
Are generative design tools creative? A characterisation of tools throughout the design process
Authors: Peckham Owen Rahmat , Hicks Ben , Goudswaard Mark 
Published: May 2024

AbstractGenerative design is now a core capability of today's CAD systems enabling broader exploration of the design space. This paper presents a desktop review of 15 tools with the aim of characterising where the tools are used in the design process and to what extent they can be considered creative.The results showed that, despite their increasing capabilities, GD tools are unable to exhibit all phases of creativity and cannot be applied in all stages of the design process. This highlights the criticality of the human in design providing opportunities for GD to augment designer creativity.

Authors: Rešetar Marija , Valjak Filip , Grabar Branilović Marina , Šercer Mario , Bojčetić Nenad 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe spare parts play a vital role in sustaining the operation and longevity of products and systems, but their unavailability can lead to prolonged downtime or expensive replacements. The integration of 3D scanning and Additive Manufacturing (AM) presents a promising path for spare part production. However, to utilise the full potential of AM, sometimes, redesign of the original part is needed. This paper investigates and proposes a new approach that integrates reverse engineering and redesign of an original part based on functional analysis to support the manufacturing of AM spare parts.

Published: May 2024

AbstractThis paper conducts a systematic literature review about the management of rule-based product-portfolios with high variance. This type of portfolio is particularly distinctive in the chosen use case of the German automotive industry since it satisfies the requirements of mass customization and modularization. However, the research field of variant- and complexity management is manifold and multidimensional. This paper systematically searches the databases Scopus and Web of Science using the PRISMA method and briefly summarizes the main contributions and comparing them by elaborated topics.

Perception-centric design considerations for low-cost haptic emulation in prototypes
Authors: Wharton Mike Miroslav , Cox Christopher Michael Jason , Gopsill James , Kukreja Aman , Snider Chris 
Published: May 2024

AbstractUser-testing is crucial in modern product design. The perception-centric design philosophy aims to cut costs and improve responses to low-cost prototypes by including aspects like thermal properties, texture, weight, sound, and haptic feedback. This paper introduces a set of considerations for integrating low-cost vibrotactile haptics into prototypes. Derived using an action-based research process, it addresses product characterisation, actuation, control, and integration. Multi-sensory prototypes in early-stage design could be vital for the sustainable prototyping of the future.
6 degree of freedom positional object tracking for physical prototype digitisation
Authors: Wyrley-Birch Michael , Kukreja Aman , Gopsill James , Cox Christopher Michael Jason , Snider Chris 
Published: May 2024

AbstractUnderpinning much work on the use of Virtual Reality technologies in design prototyping, is the need to reliably track the 3D position of a physical object in real space, then allowing synchronisation with a digital counterpart. With many tracking methods requiring changes to object geometry, this work develops and benchmarks four minimally invasiveness 6 DoF tracking approaches, before discussing their use in a prototyping context. Results show that using AI and point cloud methods, accuracies of 20mm at 20Hz are achievable on low-end hardware with no alterations to the prototype needed.
Creativity of products as meant by ordinary people: to what extent do novelty and usefulness matter?
Authors: Berni Aurora , Borgianni Yuri , Basso Demis 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIn the design literature, creativity of products is recognized as a combination of novelty and usefulness. However, this mainly applies to the engineering field and within a community of experts. This study investigates how ordinary people understand creativity embodied in products. In an experiment with 70+ participants, 8 products and 5 metrics were dealt with. Novelty resulted as the main predictor of creativity. Usefulness turned to play a minor effect on perceived creativity. It emerged that usefulness has to make ordinary people like a specific product in order to link it to creativity.
The use of occurrences of ideas for constructing and characterizing the design space
Authors: Casakin Hernan , Sopher Hadas , Gero John S. , Anidjar Or Haim 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis study explores the construction, characterization, and measurement of the design space using a novel approach that centres on First Occurrences (FOs) and Re-Occurrences (ROs) as metrics. Expert architects' cognitive behaviours during the design process were investigated empirically to gain insights into design space evolution. Findings reveal a consistent generation and revisiting of ideas, signifying an ongoing development of the design space. Future research should incorporate diverse methodologies and broader participant sample for a more comprehensive understanding.

Published: May 2024

AbstractThis article presents an fNIRS experiment investigating cognitive differences between physical and digital prototyping methods in designers (N=25) engaged in open and constrained design tasks. Initial results suggest that physical prototyping yields increased hemodynamic response (i.e., brain activity) compared to digital design, and that constrained design yields increased hemodynamic response compared to open design, in the prefrontal cortex. Further work will seek to triangulate results by investigating potential correlations to design processes and design outputs.
Expanding Freedom: A Response
Authors: Mangharam Mukti Lakhi 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis is a response to the engagement of scholars with my argument in my book, Freedom Inc.: Gendered Capitalism in New Indian Literature and Culture. I expand on my argument about the way that the novel form can nuance Orientalist or Eurocentric assumptions about freedom, the links between neoliberalism and Hindu Nationalism, whether a theory of freedom that takes into account the constraining contexts through which agency is produced can ever include rebellion, and the contradictory discourses and contested subjectivities through which agency is constituted.

Published: May 2024

AbstractObjectiveThis retrospective study aimed to establish a robust rating system for assessing post-operative outcomes in congenital aural atresia patients undergoing auricular reconstruction. The newly introduced EAR scale, a weighted grading system, not only considers anatomical landmarks but also factors such as ear alignment. In addition, the outer-ear cartilage scale and the visual analogue scale (VAS) were introduced. These scales were compared among themselves and against two established scales.MethodsNine raters assessed 17 eligible patients who underwent auricular reconstruction between 2001 and 2020.ResultsThe study compared inter-rater agreement among scales, with the EAR scale proving the most reliable (Krippendorff's alpha coefficient, α = 0.45), outperforming existing measures. The outer-ear cartilage scale and the VAS exhibited lower inter-rater agreement, indicating inferiority in assessing aesthetic outcomes.ConclusionThe EAR scale emerged as an effective tool for evaluating post-operative outcomes in congenital aural atresia auricular reconstruction.
Stress in French loanwords in British and American English
Authors: Dabouis Quentin , Fournier Pierre 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis paper presents a dictionary-based study of French loanwords in contemporary English in order to investigate the location of primary stress in these loanwords. Four factors are found to be significant predictors of the position of primary stress: endings, word complexity, the segmental structure of the final syllable, and syllable count. Moreover, this study confirms previous observations on the tendency for American English to have more final stress in French loanwords than British English. Finally, the implications of our findings are discussed in light of a model that assumes that English phonology consists of distinct interacting subsystems.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) transmission occurs in ruminant contact settings and can lead to post-diarrheal hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). We investigated whether exposure setting (ruminant exposure from living or working on a farm, visiting a farm or animal contact venue, or both) influenced HUS development among individuals with laboratory-confirmed STEC infections using Minnesota surveillance data from 2010 to 2019. Logistic regression was performed to determine whether exposure setting was associated with HUS independent of age, gender, stx2 gene detection, and county ruminants per capita. Among confirmed STEC cases, ruminant exposure only from living or working on a farm was not significantly associated with HUS compared to cases without any ruminant exposure (OR: 1.25; 95% CI: 0.51, 3.04). However, ruminant exposure only from visiting a farm or public animal contact venue was associated with HUS (OR: 2.53; 95% CI: 1.50, 4.24). Exposure from both settings was also associated with HUS (OR: 3.71; 95% CI: 1.39, 9.90). Exposure to ruminants when visiting farms or animal contact venues is an important predictor of HUS, even among people who live or work on farms with ruminants. All people, regardless of routine ruminant exposure, should take care in settings with ruminants to avoid infection with STEC.
Impacts of Vertical Convective Mixing Schemes and Freshwater Forcing on the 2016–2017 Maud Rise Polynya Openings in a Regional Ocean Simulation

AbstractThe correct representation of the Maud Rise open‐ocean polynya in the Weddell Sea remains a challenge for ocean models. Here we reproduce the most recent polynya openings in 2016–2017 using a regional configuration, and assess their dependencies on vertical convective mixing schemes and freshwater forcing, both separately and in combination. We test three vertical convective mixing schemes: the enhanced vertical diffusion (EVD), the Eddy‐Diffusivity Mass‐Flux (EDMF) parameterization, and a modified version of EDMF accounting for thermobaric effects. Using simulations for the period 2007–2017, we find that the modified EDMF reproduces the observed climatological evolution of the mixed layer depth better than the original EDMF and the EVD, but a polynya fails to open due to excessive freshwater forcing. We thus use the modified EDMF to perform sensitivity experiments with reduced precipitation during 2012–2017. The imposed freshwater forcing strongly affects the number of years with polynyas. The simulation with the best representation of the 2016–2017 polynyas is analyzed to evaluate the triggering mechanisms. The 2016 polynya was induced by the action of thermobaric instabilities on a weak ambient stratification. This opening preconditioned the water column for 2017, which produced a stronger polynya. By examining the impacts of the different convective mixing schemes, we show that the modified EDMF generates more realistic patterns of deep convection. Our results highlight the importance of surface freshwater forcing and thermobaricity in governing deep convection around Maud Rise, and the need to represent thermobaric instabilities to realistically model Maud Rise polynyas.

AbstractIn chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), analysis of TP53 aberrations (deletion and/or mutation) is a crucial part of treatment decision-making algorithms. Technological and treatment advances have resulted in the need for an update of the last recommendations for TP53 analysis in CLL, published by ERIC, the European Research Initiative on CLL, in 2018. Based on the current knowledge of the relevance of low-burden TP53-mutated clones, a specific variant allele frequency (VAF) cut-off for reporting TP53 mutations is no longer recommended, but instead, the need for thorough method validation by the reporting laboratory is emphasized. The result of TP53 analyses should always be interpreted within the context of available laboratory and clinical information, treatment indication, and therapeutic options. Methodological aspects of introducing next-generation sequencing (NGS) in routine practice are discussed with a focus on reliable detection of low-burden clones. Furthermore, potential interpretation challenges are presented, and a simplified algorithm for the classification of TP53 variants in CLL is provided, representing a consensus based on previously published guidelines. Finally, the reporting requirements are highlighted, including a template for clinical reports of TP53 aberrations. These recommendations are intended to assist diagnosticians in the correct assessment of TP53 mutation status, but also physicians in the appropriate understanding of the lab reports, thus decreasing the risk of misinterpretation and incorrect management of patients in routine practice whilst also leading to improved stratification of patients with CLL in clinical trials.
