description: Sowohl die systematische Auswahl als auch die Strukturierung von ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Wissen stellt für die Lehrenden der ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Studiengänge eine Aufgabe dar, die mit dem zunehmenden und heterogenen Wissensumfang in den Studienfächern immer wichtiger wird. Die Literaturanalysen ergaben, dass es bisher dazu kein geschlossenes methodisches Vorgehen gibt.
In Anlehnung an die Arbeiten von Martin Lehner und Gustav Grüner wird ein Modell zur systematischen Auswahl von Wissen für Studiengänge entwickelt, das Bezüge zur Wissenschaft und zur berufsorientierten Anwendung gleichermaßen erhält. Um geeignete Prinzipien zur didaktischen Vermittlung des Wissens zu finden, werden für das Feld der Mikrosystemtechnik empirische und analytische Studien durchgeführt.
description: As the systematic selection and the structuring of knowledge in the field of engineering sciences are challenging for lecturers of engineering study programs, these two components are becoming increasingly important through the rise of heterogeneous knowledge content within the degree courses. The literature analysis has shown that a cohesive methodological approach does not yet exist.
Taking into account the works of Gustav Grüner, a model for the systematic selection of knowledge for study programs is developed, which equally contains references to science as well as to job-oriented application. Analytical and empirical studies were conducted within the context of a case study for the field of microsystem technology, in order to detect appropriate principles for the didactic mediation of knowledge.

description: 3D-Visualisierungen finden in der Lehre der Ingenieurwissenschaften vermehrt Anwendung. Sie dienen der Informationsvermittlung und der Erklärung komplexer technischer Sachverhalte. Weiterhin ermöglichen 3D-Visualisierungen die Präsentation von Objekten, die in der Realität noch nicht existieren, für eine Vielzahl von Lernenden.
3D-Visualisierungen können mit unterschiedlichem technologischen Aufwand in Hinblick auf Ihre Darstellung und Interaktivität aufbereitet werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag hat das Ziel, für die typischen Lernziele in den Ingenieurwissenschaften die angemessene Form der interaktiven Visualisierung zu finden. Dazu werden zunächst die möglichen Ausprägungen von 3D Visualisierungen klassifiziert und mit den sechs Interaktionsstufen von Rolf Schulmeister in Zusammenhang gesetzt.
Es wird gezeigt, mit welchen 3D-Visualisierungen und Interaktionsstufen, welche Lernziele erreicht werden können.
description: 3D-visualisizationss are increasingly used within the degrees of engineering sciences. They are intended to serve the information transfer and the explanation of complex technical issues. Furthermore, 3D-visualizations allow for the presentation of objects - which do not yet exist in reality for large numbers of learners.
3D-visualizations can be processed with varying technological effort, depending on their level of presentation and interactivity. This paper at hand has the objective to detect an appropriate way of interactive visualization for typical learning goals of engineering sciences. Therefore, the possible characteristics of 3D-visualzations are classified initially. As a next step these characteristics are put into context with the six interaction levels, which Rolf Schulmeister defined for learning scenarios.
This research paper at hand shows which 3D-visualizations and interaction levels it takes to achieve specific learning objectives.

The Conferences of John Cassian
Creators: name: Schachterle, Joshua
Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)
Year: 2023

description: This document was written in the 5th century by a monk named John Cassian in order to help found a monastery in the Roman-controlled region of Gaul (in modern-day France). The Conferences are the second volume of Cassian's instructions (the first volume is The Institutes) on how to correctly practice monasticism based on his experience living as a monk in Egypt. Unlike The Institutes, however, The Conferences is written as a series of conversations between a young Cassian, his monastic compatriot Germanus, and several venerable Egyptian monks. Conversations discuss the goals of monastic life, - principally "purity of heart" - and the correct practice of asceticism, - neither too lax nor too severe. There are also detailed discussions on theology, including the notion of God as unencumbered by a physical body, the possibility of humans uniting with God in spiritual perfection, and the influence of evil spirits on the mind and/or heart. This book gives a comprehensive vision of Cassian's ideal Egyptian monasticism in order to establish a similar institution in the West.

description: Im Modell-Projekt der Basic Engineering School ist ein zentraler Bestandteil neben dem Einsatz neuer Lehr- und Lernformen die interdisziplinäre Projektarbeit im ersten Studienjahr. Die Studierenden bauen in Projektteams einen Autonomen Miniaturtransporter (AMT). Dies vereint konstruktive Aufgaben, mechanische Fertigung, elektrotechnische Grundlagen in der Sensor-Signalverarbeitung sowie den Entwurf einer programmierbaren Steuerung. Der funktionstüchtige AMT erfordert sowohl interdisziplinäres Arbeiten der Studierenden verschiedener Ingenieurstudiengänge als auch eine auf die Projektarbeit abgestimmte Verzahnung der Lehre im ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Grundlagenbereich. Die fachliche Betreuung der Projektarbeit wird durch Lehrenden der jeweiligen Fachgebiete übernommen. Zur Unterstützung der Teamprozesse wurden Lehreinheiten zur Team- und Projektarbeit als integrierter Bestandteil aufgenommen.
description: One essential part of the innovative approach of the pilot project “Basic Engineering School” is an interdisciplinary project work in a team during the first year of studies. The project teams build an autonomous miniature transporter (AMT) in joint work. For this, the students apply skills in constructive design, mechanical assembly, electrotechnical basics in processing of sensor signals and the design of a programmable control system. The construction of the AMT requires the students from different courses of study to work interdisciplinary as well as an elaborate interlocking of the teaching of the basic knowledge in engineering. The project work is professionally assisted by the lecturers of the respective departments. To support the process in teams, we integrated the presented project work as an essential part of the course of studies. In this way, students also have the opportunity to deal with project management and indicators of a successful work in teams.

description: Product information sharing, i.e., inter-organizational transfer of master data relating to products, is a problematic, error-prone, labor-intensive, and costly process in many companies. This paper presents findings of a focus group interview and case studies at three wholesale trading companies that share product information with hundreds of suppliers. We identify and assess coordination mechanisms and tools used to facilitate product information sharing. Spreadsheet files, e-mail messages, telephone calls, and personal meetings are predominant coordination tools. EDI connections, product identification and classification standards, online product catalogs, and data pools are not widely adopted in the trading organizations covered by our study. Reasons for the low adoption rate are that employees responsible for master data quality are either unaware of these resources or that they are convinced that the tools are too cost-intensive or not flexible enough.

description: Purpose : Dynamic vessel analysis (DVA) with the Retinal Vessel Analyzer (Imedos Systems UG) is the Gold standard to measure alterations in retinal vessel diameter in health and disease. The DVA guidelines provide flicker stimulation of 12.5 Hz in a 30° field of view [1] (fixed full-field). However, to investigate local effects in the regulation of retinal perfusion, e.g. neuro vascular coupling, spatially varying stimuli are required. We introduce and validate a spatial light modulator (SLM) based setup for DVA providing arbitrary stimuli in location and size. 
Methods : We studied 15 volunteers (8m, 7f, 24.7±1.1 yr) to investigate the repeatability of the novel setup and to compare the new setup with the Gold standard. The relative vaso-dilatation value was determined for both. We measured four primary vessels: one superior temporal artery and vein (STa/STv), one inferior temporal artery and vein (ITa/ITv). All subjects were free of ocular and systemic diseases. A high-power LED (515 nm) and a transmissive liquid crystal SLM were connected to a mydriatic fundus camera. The field of view was set to 30°. The SLM was controlled via standard graphics card and a customized software (60 Hz refresh rate / 15 Hz flicker frequency). Each volunteer was measured three times. One measurement with the Gold standard and two with the new setup, in a random order (10 min pause time). Repeatability and comparison of the two setups were analyzed using the Bland-Altmann method. To value the differences among the group means we performed the t-test. For groups that did not meet the normality assumption we employed the Mann-Whitney U test. 
Results : The repeatability analysis showed the following mean differences (MD), Limits of Agreement (LoA), both in %, and p-values. STa: MD=-0.78, LoA=-4.35/+2.79, p=0.134. ITa: MD=-0.67, LoA=-3.82/+2.48, p=0.131. STv: MD=-0.69, LoA=-4.30/+2.92, p=0.186. ITv: MD=-0.03, LoA=-3.00/+2.94, p=0.947. Comparing the two different setups the p-values were 0.545 (STa), 0.405 (ITa), 0.05 (STv), and 0.137 (ITv). 
Conclusions : We realized a working experimental setup and applied a new approach of Dynamic Vessel Analysis using a spatial light modulator. Validation was realized in comparison to the Gold standard. The agreement between the two different setups was predominantly good. Neither the repeatability analysis nor the comparison of the two setups showed significant differences.

description: While generative AI is advancing writing support tools, creative writing is often seen as the exclusive domain of skilled writers. This paper introduces "1001 Nights", a co-creative story-crafting game that transforms writing into a playful and rewarding activity. In this game, the AI agent takes on the role of a "moody" king with distinct storytelling preferences, not merely assisting but actively influencing the narrative. Players engage with the king agent through strategic storytelling, guiding him to mention weapon-related keywords, which materialize as battle equipment. The king agent provides dynamic feedback, expressing satisfaction or displeasure, prompting players to adjust their approach. By combining storytelling, game mechanics, and AI-driven responses, our system motivates creativity through playful constraints. Inspired by Oulipo's literary techniques, this approach demonstrates how AI-powered game experiences can make creative writing more accessible and engaging, encouraging players to explore their creative potential.

title: The effect of different adaptation conditions on the dynamic vessel analysis
Creators: name: Klee, Sascha

Publisher: name: TU Ilmenau
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 610

description: Purpose : Retinal arterioles and venules dilate when stimulated with flickering light. This phenomenon is described as functional hyperemia. Flicker light stimulation is an established noninvasive means of assessing the endothelial function and the retinal autoregulation by continuous measurement of vessel diameters. Investigation of the flicker-induced retinal vasodilation, known as dynamic vessel analysis (DVA), is often conducted under reduced ambient lighting conditions but the influence of various adaptation levels is still unclear. This work aims to clarify whether light or dark adaptation affects the DVA. 
Methods : We studied 15 volunteers (8m, 7f, 24.7±2.4 years, one eye) using the Retinal Vessel Analyzer (Imedos Systems UG). Exclusion criteria were VA<0.5, astigmatism >2.0D, myopia <-5.0D, hyperopia >5 D and systemic diseases. We investigated four primary vessel segments (superior as well as inferior temporal artery (STa/ITa) and vein (STv/ITv)) located in a range from 0.5–2 disc diameters from the optic disc. For each volunteer DVA was performed three times in random order. DVA after light adaptation (129cd/m2) and after dark adaptation (0.02cd/m2) were performed according to the standard protocol timing (350s total time, 3 flicker cycles; Garhofer et al. 2010). Both the vaso-dilatation values and baseline diameters were analyzed. The effect on regulatory vessel diameter changes during the transition between dark and light adaptation was examined measuring only baseline diameters. For statistical analysis t-test and Wilcoxon test for paired samples were used. 
Results : Vaso-dilatation values and baseline diameters between light and dark adaptation showed no significant differences (STa: p=0.099/0.977, ITa: p=0.670/0.999, STv: p=0.156/0.820, ITv: p=0.065/0.955). The obtained baseline values during the transitional measure showed increased diameters after dark adaptation (STa: +7%, ITa: +6%, STv: +5%, ITv: +8% = group-means, referred to the baseline values under light adaption) which returned slowly (tau=100 s) to the baseline values under light adaption. 
Conclusions : The presented work revealed, that adaptation conditions have no effect on DVA following the standard timing. This means, in clinical practice DVA results would not be influenced by different ambient light conditions. However, dark adaptation leads to increased vessel diameters. The large time constant should be considered using short time DVA protocols.

description: The case study describes the establishment and success of Ireland's first community-owned wind farm. Initiated by community members with a Certificate in Renewable Energy, the project aimed to revitalize a declining area through renewable energy. Despite challenges such as securing funding and obtaining planning permissions, the community set up a wind development company and installed two turbines. The wind farm’s success led to the creation of Community Power, the first community-owned electricity supplier in Ireland, underlining the shared benefits of renewable energy, especially at a local level. The case study highlights the importance of local ownership and involvement in renewable energy projects, such as wind farms, for community revitalization and a sustainable energy future.
title: Model to simulate impact of eye oculomotor behavior under imaging condition
Creators: name: Dietzel, Alexander
name: Baumgarten, Daniel
Publisher: name: TU Ilmenau
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: 610

description: Purpose : Fixational eye movements influence the measurement process of anterior and posterior examinations and effect the reliability. We developed a model of these movements in order to study their impact on simultaneous measurement processes, e.g. retina imaging by laser scanner ophthalmoscopy (SLO). 
Methods : Geometrical eye: Based on published schematic eye models a geometrical model (cornea, bulbus oculi) was implemented in three degrees of abstraction. The highest degree considers all components as spheres whereas the medium degree provides ellipsoidal shapes. The lowest degree takes into account complex surfaces for cornea and retina. The lens was generally simplified by a plane characterizing the optical effect.
Oculomotor behavior: Based on published parameters individual oculomotor movements like micro saccade, drift and tremor were modelled as synthetic data. Specific eye movements from measured data of different eye tracker devices were also included. The rotation was implemented following Dondor’s law and Listing’s law. The plane of rotation is positioned 13.5 mm behind the apex of the cornea.
Measurement procedure: Based on current technical parameters for SLO, a rectangular scanning pattern was modelled covering a 30° x 30° field of view with 768 x768 pixel at 96 ms and 1,536 x 1,536 pixel at 192 ms scan time per image.
Validation: A phantom eye performing defined movements was constructed. It consists of a biconvex lens as anterior part and a concave posterior part covered with a printed vessel tree, at the ends of a water filled tube in their anatomical distance. The movement was realized by a Gimbal-Mirror-Mount (Newport) stirred by two stepping motors. 
Results : For a most sensible setup we decided for a diagonal direction of motion in the phantom eye as well as our simulation. Therewith the first visible artifacts occurred in horizontal rather than in vertical direction. The movement of the phantom eye in one direction was visible over 35 frames. A displacement of 3.4° with a maximum velocity of 2° per second lead to the first horizontal artifacts in two consecutive images in both our SLO video data and our model. 
Conclusions : Our customizable model allows simulation of monocular fixational behavior of the human eye during a measurement process. This provides comprehensible information regarding intended vs. real measurement position and measured value to specify measurement errors more precisely.

The “Mayor Conference Project”: The Making of the Modern City during the Cold War
Creators: name: Eom, Sujin
Publisher: name: TU Delft Open
Year: 2016

description: Scholarly interest has abounded in the post-WWII period as a pivotal moment in diffusing planning knowledge and shaping the modern city. A substantial body of research conducted on this subject has focused on transnational, mostly transatlantic, connections in the postwar period with emphasis on new architectural and urban ideas brought by expatriate professionals, migrant planners, refugee intellectuals and architects. In Europe, planning ideas based on experiences of US cities were considered “signs of American democracy and modernity” in its war-defeated regions, whereas US postwar urban renewal was largely inspired by European reconstruction projects. Few studies, however, have fully investigated “transpacific” connections in postwar planning and their implications. Starting in the early 1950s, by the time the United States and Japan signed the peace treaty in San Francisco in 1951, the meanings of the Pacific as well as relations between the two former enemy states have drastically changed. This was an important change not only for Japan, whose relations with its former colonies were complicated through shifting US political and economic interests in Asia. As Japan’s symbolic transformation from “a colonizing country” to “an occupied country” under postwar US hegemony contributed materially to the region, its relations with neighboring Asian countries also came to change in the broader political economic restructuring of the Asia Pacific region.

In this regard, I examine the Second Japan-American Pacific Coast Mayors’ Conference held in Seattle in 1953, whose main purpose was to create an environment for Japanese and American city officials to discuss common problems and share solutions facing port cities in the Pacific. What is more important was the national tour of US cities offered to Japanese delegates thereafter, which provided opportunity for them to observe American cities firsthand and translate the urban experience into their own local settings. After their return to Japan, Yokohama city officials embarked upon the remaking of the city’s Chinese quarter modeling on American Chinatowns. Highlighting how this making of Chinatown reflected Japan’s important political economic transition in the Asia Pacific region as well as changing relations with its neighboring Asian countries and the United States during the Cold War years, this paper sheds new light on the dialectical relationship between relationality and territoriality in the production of urban space.

description: Purpose: 
The (early) detection of diseases based on metabolic changes in the retina is the goal of the novel autofluorescence lifetime ophthalmoscopy (FLIO) technique. These metabolic changes can be detected as alterations in the fundus autofluorescence (FAF) lifetimes. The influences of the photopigment bleaching and photobleaching on the FAF lifetimes are unknown. Thus, we performed a volunteer study to investigate these influences.
Methods:
In 21 healthy volunteers (23.6±3.8 years) time-resolved FAF was measured with a FLIO device (30° of fundus, excitation at 473nm, detection in two spectral channels: 500-560nm (ch1) and 560-720nm (ch2), time-correlated single photon counting method). All subjects had a crystalline lens. The pupil was dilated with 0.5% Tropicamid. After volunteers adapted to the dark using a custom-made lightproof eyewear over a period of 30 min, the first FLIO measurement was recorded (dark-adapted state). Subsequently, one eye was bleached for 1 min using a luminance of 3200cd/m2, followed by a FLIO measurement (bleached state). The fluorescence lifetimes were estimated from the FAF decays, based on three exponential functions, using the software FLIMX (www.flimx.de). Average values from the central region, and the inner and outer rings of the ETDRS grid were utilized to compare both bleaching states using analysis of variance, Friedman, and post hoc tests.
Results : Only ch2 yielded significant changes (p<0.05) for the fluorescence lifetime τ2 from all ETDRS regions (+19-28ps), for the fluorescence lifetime τ1 (+6ps) and the mean fluorescence lifetime (+6ps) in the central area that were less than 10% in magnitude. Additionally, the acquisition time in the bleached state was significantly reduced by approximately 20% on average, compared to the dark-adapted state. The fluorescence lifetime differences caused by bleaching were much smaller than pathological states known from literature.
Conclusions: 
We conclude that bleaching is not relevant for current clinical FLIO applications because of the small magnitude of the elicited fluorescence lifetime changes. Thus, it is advisable to instruct patients to wait in a bright room before FLIO measurements. If the expected changes in the fluorescence lifetime in a specific experimental paradigm are small, FLIO users should follow a strict acquisition protocol in terms of the photopigment bleaching state of the patients to obtain the most reliable results.

description: One of two evaluation tools resulting from Makanani Bell's PhD research. This evaluation tool is for projects that involve multiple stakeholders (i.e. archaeologists, community members, non profit organizations, governments) involved in community archaeology projects. The first two pages is the Introduction and Reference sheet, which introduces the evaluation tool and how it can be used. The evaluation itself consists of three mini evaluations (Starting Evaluation, In-Progress Evaluation, and the Post-Project Evaluation) and a Reflection.

The evaluation tool is attached to this record in two formats. The first contains the entire evaluation tool in one word document. The second format is each of the aforementioned components in a stand alone document. Users may find the individual documents easier to use, particularly when comparing answers across the different evaluations.

Feel free to download the evaluation in either format, tailor the evaluation tool to suit your needs, and evaluate your community archaeology project.

Have two stakeholders involved in your project? You may find the Evaluation Tool for Two Stakeholders more useful. See the record here: https://doi.org/10.5258/SOTON/P1167. See the thesis (doi: https://doi.org/10.5258/SOTON/T0069) for more information about the creation of this evaluation tool, how it can be used, and additional information on evaluating community engagemen

description: Purpose : The risk for cardiovascular diseases can be evaluated by the measuring of the retinal blood vessel diameters. Temporal variations in vessel diameter lead to uncertainties. Mayer waves are cyclic variations in cardiovascular system, which can be seen in arterial blood pressure. A link to retinal vessel diameters is known in general but temporal dependencies are not described yet. We investigated the similarity of these variations and determined the temporal dependencies in a multimodal measurement study. 
Methods : In a study in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki we performed measurements on 15 young and healthy subjects. Within a time period of 90 minutes, six repeated measurements with a duration of six minutes each were conducted.
We did a simultaneous measurement of retinal vessel diameters (Dynamic Vessel Analyzer, IMEDOS Systems UG, Jena, Germany) and non-invasive continuous arterial blood pressure (Finometer Pro, Finapres Medical Systems B.V., Enschede, The Netherlands). The sum of the diameters was calculated for both arteries and veins. We extracted waves in Very Low Frequency range (VLF, 0.02–0.07Hz) and Low Frequency range (LF, 0.07–0.15Hz) by filtering and determined temporal dependencies between both modalities using cross correlation. We extracted the lags of best signal correlation and calculated statistical parameters. 
Results : Cross correlation analysis showed clear dependencies in most of the 90 datasets. The strongest correlations were in VLF: minima of arteries: median -3.68 s, Interquartile range (IQR) 3.57, minima of veins: median -5.89 s, IQR 3.85 and in LF: minima of arteries: median -3.95 s, IQR 3.29, maxima of veins: median -0.10 s, IQR 0.98. Negative time lags mean retinal vessel diameter follows blood pressure signal. Distribution of the time shifts in LF was much closer than in VLF. Most of the outliers were shifted by one period. Correlation coefficients ranged up to 0.82 for frequencies in VLF and up to 0.94 in LF, randomly shifted outliers had lower correlation coefficients up to 0.4. Most outliers were concentrated on a few subjects. 
Conclusions : Our study showed clear dependencies between variations in retinal vessel diameter and arterial blood pressure. The best correlation could be seen in VLF on minima of arteries and veins and in LF on minima of arteries and maxima of veins, yielding the smallest variation in time shift and the smallest number of outliers.

description: Purpose : In human retinal blood flow research dynamic vessel analysis (DVA) with the Retinal Vessel Analyzer (Imedos Systems UG) is the Gold standard to measure alterations in vessel diameter. However, vessel contrast is often reduced due to stray light caused by illumination of lash, lid, or opaque lens such as cataract lens. For reasons of spatial adaptation, we developed and validated a novel 24-fold segmented LED light source for fundus cameras based on surface-mount technology. 
Methods : We studied 16 young volunteers (7f, 8m, 24.7±1.5 years) all free of ocular or systemic disease. To compare the new setup with the Gold standard the relative maximum vaso-dilation value was determined. We measured four primary vessels: one superior temporal artery and vein (STa/STv), one inferior temporal artery and vein (ITa/ITv), as well. The surface-mount device LED-based light source was connected to a mydriatic fundus camera (Visucam, Carl Zeiss Meditec AG). We followed the DVA standard protocol. The beam geometry was annular (all segments on). Each volunteer was measured two times. One measurement with the Gold standard and one with the new setup, in a random order. A resting period of approximately 10 minutes was adhered between the DVA measurements to avoid suppression of retinal vessel reactions in consecutive experiments. Comparison of the two setups were demonstrated and analyzed using the Bland-Altmann method. To value the differences among the group means we performed a paired t-test. All four data sets (n=16, each) were normal distributed (Shapiro-Wilk). 
Results : The comparison analysis according to Bland-Altmann, with no outliers, resulted in the following mean differences (MD) and Limits of Agreement (LoA) with n=16 for every type of vessel (Gold standard vs. new setup). STa: MD=-0.28%, LoA=-3.28%/+2.71. ITa: MD=-0.09%, LoA=-3.01%/+2.84. STv: MD=-0.44%, LoA=-2.63%/+3.52. ITv: MD=-0.54%, LoA=-2.55%/+1.02. The t-test p-values were 0.473 (STa), 0.818 (ITa), 0.276 (STv), and 0.050 (ITv). p≥0.05 means no significant difference. 
Conclusions : We successfully performed a new approach of Dynamic Vessel Analysis using a miniaturized surface-mount device LED-based light source. Statistically, there are no significant differences in the maximum dilation value of the new setup compared to the Gold standard. The new setup can be used for dynamic vessel analysis in humans as well.

title: The effect of different rest periods on the Dynamic Vessel Analysis

description: Purpose : Retinal vessels dilate when stimulated with flickering light. This phenomenon is described as functional hyperemia and closely associated with neurovascular coupling. Flicker light stimulation and investigation of the induced retinal vasodilation, known as dynamic vessel analysis (DVA), is an established noninvasive means of assessing the endothelial function. In studies conducting repetitive tests, different rest periods between 5 and 30 minutes to allow sufficient recovery of vessel function are used. However, the influence of various rest periods on the recovery is still unclear. This work aims to clarify whether the DVA is affected by different retesting periods. 
Methods : The relative vaso-dilation values of 16 volunteers (10m, 6f, 26.1±6.0 years, one eye) were measured using the Retinal Vessel Analyzer (Imedos Systems UG, standard protocol: duration of 350 seconds). Exclusion criteria were visual acuity less than 0.5, astigmatism >2.0 D, myopia > 5.0 D and ocular and systemic diseases. We investigated four primary vessel segments (superior as well as inferior temporal artery (STa/ITa) and vein (STv/ITv)) located between 0.5 and 2.0 disc diameters from the optic disc. For each volunteer the DVA was performed in four pairs (reference and repetitive test) with different rest periods of 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes in a randomized order. Between the end of a pair and the start of the following pair a long-term resting of 35 minutes was applied. For statistical analysis the t-test and the Wilcoxon test for paired samples were used. . 
Results : For all rest periods vaso-dilation values between reference and repetitive tests showed no significant differences (5/10/15/30 minutes STa: p=0.478/0.470/0.314/0.054, ITa: p=0.875/0.255/0.349/0.646, STv: p=0.706/0.776/0.320/0.609, ITv: p=0.727/0.932/0.272/0.173). 
Conclusions : The presented work revealed, that different rest periods have no effect on the vaso-dilation of retinal veins and arteries. This means, in studies conducting repetitive tests, the DVA would not be concerned by the rest period ≥ 5 minutes.

description: Nach der Auslegung und Produktion komplexer Systeme, folgen oft umfangreiche Tests zum Nachweis der Produktfähigkeit über die Grenzen der vorausgelegten Randbedingungen hinweg. Solche Tests erfolgen häufig
automatisiert unter bestmöglicher Reproduktion der späteren Einsatzbedingungen. Die dabei gemessenen Daten spiegeln das Systemverhalten in Form von Mess-, Berechnungs- und Stellgrößen wieder. Mithilfe dieser Daten soll in der vorliegenden Arbeit ein Vorgehen beschrieben werden, dass sie nutzt und durch den Einsatz neuronaler
Netze in eine Black-Box Simulationsumgebung überführt. Diese Simulationsumgebung wird dann dazu verwendet, dass Systemverhalten vorherzusagen, Abweichungen zu erkennen und vor allem autonome
Lernalgorithmen auf das System anzuwenden, denn selbst wenn das System fertig entwickelt ist, so bedarf es oft immer noch einer manuellen Parametrisierung der Systemsteuerung.
