description: In der Produktion steigt der Bedarf an Assistenzsystemen aufgrund der sinkenden Anzahl an Facharbeitern, der hohen technischen Anforderungen an die Produkte und des gleichzeitig hohen wirtschaftlichen Drucks. In der Fleischproduktion stehen Landwirte ebenso vor der Herausforderung, wirtschaftlich rentabel zu produzieren und gleichzeitig für das Wohl ihrer Tiere zu sorgen. Im BMEL geförderten Projekt SmartPigHome soll ein Assistenzsystem entwickelt werden, das sowohl mittels optischen als auch akustischen Aufnahmen in der Lage ist, kritische, tierwohlgefährdende Situationen zu erkennen. Zur Unterscheidung von akustischen Signalen eines Schweinestalls wurde in dieser Masterarbeit eine Methodik entwickelt, die bedenkliche Schweinelaute von allen anderen Geräuschen im Stall trennt. Der Zufallswald-Klassifikator sowie der naive Bayes-Klassifikator in Kombination mit der linearen Diskriminanzanalyse erzielten von den getesteten überwachten Lernverfahren die besten Werte für Präzision sowie Sensitivität der Vorhersage. Diese beiden Methodiken wurden mittels statistischer Absicherung optimiert, sodass für Präzision und Sensitivität Werte von über 90 % erreicht wurden. Eine Überführung der entwickelten Methodik in ein Assistenzsystem wird im Rahmen des Projekts fortgeführt.

description: Electronic data has become the standard method of storing information in our modern age. Evolving from paper-based data to electronic data creates opportunities to share information between organizations in record speeds, especially when handling large data sets. However, sharing sensitive information creates requirements for electronic data exchange: privacy requires that the original data will not be revealed to unauthorized parties. In the healthcare sector in particular, there are two important use cases that require exchanging information in a privacy-preserving way. 1. Contract research organizations (CROs) need to verify the eligibility of a participant in a phase 1 clinical trial. One criterion is checking that an individual is not concurrently enrolled in a trial at another CRO. However, privacy laws and the maintenance of a private list of participants for competitive purposes prevent CROs from checking against that criterion. 2. A patient’s medical record is usually distributed amongst several healthcare organizations. To improve healthcare services, it is important to have a patient’s complete medical history: either to help diagnose an illness or to gather statistics for better disease control. However, patient medical files need to be confidential. Two healthcare organizations cannot link their large patient databases by disclosing identity revealing details (e.g., names or health card numbers). This thesis presents the development and evaluation of protocols capable of querying and linking datasets in a privacy-preserving manner: TRACK for checking concurrent enrolment in phase 1 clinical trials, and SHARE for linking two large datasets in terms of millions of (patient medical) records. These protocols are better than existing approaches in terms of the privacy protection level they offer (e.g., against dictionary and frequency attacks), of the reliance on trusted third parties, and of performance when performing blocking. These protocols were extensively validated in simulated scenarios similar to their real-world counterparts. The thesis presents novel identity representation schemes that offer strong privacy measures while being efficient for very large databases. These schemes may be used by other researchers to represent identity in different use cases. CROs may implement the protocols (and especially TRACK) in systems to check if an individual exists in another CRO’s dataset without revealing the identity of that individual. Two healthcare organizations may use a system based on this research (and especially the SHARE protocol) to discover their common patients while protecting the identities of the other patients.

description: Plasmaschweißverfahren sind seit Jahren in der Industrie etabliert. Dennoch erfahren sie aufgrund der immer komplexer werdenden Produktentstehungsprozesse eine sehr dynamische Weiterentwicklung. Dies gilt insbesondere bei der Auseinandersetzung mit neuen Materialien oder Anwendungen im stetig wachsenden Feld der additiven Fertigung. Diese Arbeit stellt eine neue Variante des Plasma-Auftragschweißens vor, bei dem Plasma durch Mikrowellen im Frequenzband fA ˜ 2,45 GHz erzeugt wird. Das Plasma weist bemerkenswerte Eigenschaften auf. Es ist potentialfrei, sehr reaktiv und lässt sich punktgenau erzeugen, ohne signifikante Wärmeverluste in der Auftragsdüse in Kauf nehmen zu müssen. Die Arbeit beleuchtet sowohl anlagentechnische, theoretische als auch anwendungsspezifische Fragestellungen dieser neuen Technologievariante.

Untersuchungsgegenstand dieser Arbeit ist die messtechnische Bewertung von dezentralen, fassadenintegrierten Wohnungslüftungsgeräten, welche eine regenerative Wärmerückgewinnung durch einen alternierenden Betriebsmodus realisieren. Umgangssprachlich werden diese Geräte als Pendellüfter bezeichnet. Der Fokus der Untersuchungen liegt auf der durch die Geräte bereitgestellte Lüftungswirksamkeit sowie der Wärmerückgewinnung. Die Untersuchungen zur Lüftungswirksamkeit erfolgten im Rahmen einer Messkampagne zur Absicherung der Methodik im Labor mit acht Messreihen sowie in insgesamt vier Messkampagnen bei Sommer- und Winterbedingungen mit 20 Messreihen. Ausgehend davon wurde ein beschreibendes Modell für die Luftkaskadierung durch Pendellüfter aufgestellt. Für die Bewertung der Wärmerückgewinnung wurde ein Teststand nach Spülluftverfahren unter Einhaltung der Vorgaben der EN 13141-8 (2021) erstellt und eine Weiterentwicklung der Methodik vorgeschlagen. Final wurden die Auswirkungen dieser beiden untersuchten Charakteristika auf den Gesamtenergieumsatz beleuchtet.

description: Статья освящена одному из наиболее сложных периодов в истории Российской академии наук (РАН), что особенно актуально в свете современных дискуссий о реформировании фундаментальной науки. На базе отчетов и протоколов Общих собраний РАН, документов личного характера исследуются пути и степень реализации академическим сообществом своих целей, задач и планов в 1917 г. Показана эволюция установок и поведения как академического корпуса в целом, так и его лидеров и отдельных ученых в зависимости от их политических убеждений и профессиональных интересов. Для сохранения статуса «первенствующего ученого сословия» РАН в основном следовала стратегии сотрудничества с меняющейся властью и старалась реализовать давние планы по институционализации науки. Это вело к дифференциации академического корпуса, сокращению числа академиков, участвовавших в ее деятельности и заседаниях Общего собрания, к отъезду многих из них в провинцию или на территории, неподвластные центральному правительству. В статье показано, как сотрудничество с Временным правительством позволило Академии наук укрепить ее прежний статус, добиться большей автономии и принятия планов реформирования науки и высшего образования России, а также увеличить финансирование исследований. После краткой конфронтации с Советским правительством лидеры РАН наладили диалог и с большевиками ради спасения фундаментальной науки и ученых. РАН была признана главным экспертом экономических и технологических проектов, что стало основой ее бурной институционализации в 1920-х гг. Происходящие реформы сопровождались эмиграцией многих академиков. Академики, оставшиеся в Петрограде вместе с А. П. Карпинским, С. Ф. Ольденбургом и И. П. Бородиным, обеспечили непрерывность деятельности Академии наук и ее относительную автономность.

description: Many sounds artists are now producing their work in multi-channel digital audio, utilizing powerful audio software in very fast computers, and storing sound files on large hard drives. Some works will be played in public performance directly from computer, where multi-channel sound cards are able to deliver multiple high fidelity audio streams simultaneously. However, for more people to experience multi-channel music and sound art, it must be delivered into a listener's environment through existing or new media channels. This paper explores the different media available from physical discs, including CD and DVD, through broadcast media and portable players to digital delivery via the Internet. The possibilities and limitations of each will be considered, focusing particularly on listener perception of quality and ease of use. New directions in each delivery media will also be discussed.

FIG. 4
The single, double-valved specimen, UCMP 410421, compares well with Acharax johnsoni. This specimen has numerous, shallow, radial ribs and interspaces, which occur from the anterior end past the middle of the shell, characteristics shared by Ach. johnsoni. The poor preservation and single specimen make precise identification impossible. Fossil Ach. johnsoni are rare in the eastern Pacific occurring only in the Pliocene (Woodring 1938; Roth, 1979) from northern and southern California, while in the western Pacific it has been reported from the Eocene to Pliocene (O'Hara and Nemoto 1988, Nobuhara and Tanaka 1993, Kafanov and Ogasawara 2003, 2004). Coan et al. (2000) list the modern range of Ach. johnsoni as from Sitka, Alaska, south through to the Isla de Afuera, Peru in water depths from 400 to 4,100 m.
The family Solemyidae favors reduced oxygen and high organic content environments, and harbors chemoautotrophic bacteria in their gill filaments to obtain nutrition. In the northeastern Pacific they are typically found in basins on the continental shelf and nearshore where there is an accumulation of plant debris (Coan et al. 2000). It is represented by two genera off the coast of California and the northeast Pacific, Acharax and Solemya, with three modern species and three fossil species. Modern species include Solemya (So.) reidi Bernard, 1980 which occurs from Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, south to San Diego, California at water depths between 40 and 600 m (Coan et al. 2000), So. (Petrasma) valvulus (Carpenter,1864) which occurs from Monterey Bay, California south to Jalisco, Mexico, including the Golfo de California at water depths between the intertidal zone and 360 m, and Ach. johnsoni occurring from Sitka, Alaska through the Golfo de California south to off Lima, Peru at water depths between 100 and 5,379 m (Coan and Valentich-Scott 2012). In addition to the modern species there are three fossil species in the Pacific northwest: Ach. dalli (Clark, 1925) from the lower Miocene of Washington (Addicott 1976), Ach. ventricosa (Conrad 1849) from the middle Miocene to lower Pleistocene of Washington south to northern California (Moore 1963, Addicott 1976), and Ach. willapaensis (Weaver, 1942) that occurs from the upper Eocene to lower Miocene of Washington (Weaver 1942).

description: Deutschland befindet sich mitten in der Energiewende, für die sich die Bundesregierung eine Reihe von Umweltschutzzielen gesetzt hat. Der Verkehrssektor, der zu einem der größten Energieverbrauchern Deutschlands gehört, steht ebenfalls vor einer Renovierung. Mit der technologischen Entwicklung von Elektrofahrzeugen entscheiden sich viele Haushalte für die Anschaffung eines solchen anstelle von Fahrzeugen mit konventionellem Brennstoff. Dies bedeutet auch, dass herkömmliche Tankstellen dezentralisiert und elektrifiziert werden müssen. Dies führt jedoch zu einer Überlastung des Stromnetzes. In den letzten Jahren ist das Aufladen von Elektrofahrzeugen smarter geworden, so dass sich eine Reihe von Ladestrategien wie das gesteuerte Laden entwickelt hat. Die Stadtwerke als Brücke zwischen den Haushalten und den Energieversorgungsunternehmen stehen also vor einer Veränderung ihres Betriebsmodells. In diesem Beitrag werden die wirtschaftlichen sowie systemtechnischen Aspekte des gesteuerten Ladens hinsichtlich des zukünftigen Energiesystems für private Wohngebäude analysiert und ein Vorschlag für die Umstellung des Betriebsmodells des kommunalen Sektors unterbreitet.
description: Germany is in the middle of the energy turnaround, for which the government has set several environmental protection goals. The traffic sector, which is one of the largest energy consumers in Germany, is also facing renovation. With the technological development of electric vehicles, many households are electing to use electric vehicles instead of conventional fuel vehicles. This also means that conventional filling stations must be decentralized and electrified. However, this leads to overloading of the electricity grid. In recent years, charging of electric vehicles has become smarter, so that several smart-charging strategies such as controlled charging (Vehicle-to-Grid) have appeared. Municipal utilities, as the bridge between households and energy suppliers, are thus facing a change in their business model. This paper analyses the economic as well as system aspects of smart charging regarding the future energy system for private residential buildings and presents a proposal for the change of the operating model of the municipal sector.

Gene Expression

description: Vinclozolin (VCZ), an antiandrogenic fungicide, is an endocrine disrupting chemical that is known to possess high affinity for the androgen receptor (AR) and modulate expression of critical androgen-dependant genes in the prostate. In this study, viability and expression of AR, NKX3.1 and CYP3A4 genes were measured in androgen-sensitive prostate cells LNCaP after exposure to VCZ and VCZ treated with S9 microsomes in a time and dose dependent manner. NKX3.1 is an androgen regulated gene that plays a vital role in prostate development. CYP3A4 is involved in xenobiotic metabolism. VCZ decreased the viability at high doses after 48 hours which was slightly mitigated by treatment with S9 metabolites. Expression of NKX3.1 and CYP3A4 was upregulated while an initial downregulation of AR was observed. NKX3.1 upregulation corroborates with possibility of antiandrogens to act as androgens in LNCaP. The results illustrate that VCZ can interfere with the expression of critical prostate genes.

Retrouver un territoire d'eau multifonctionnel, entre Douai et Tournai, la Vallée Scarpe-Escaut. Contribution de l'Histoire au développement territorial durable.
Creators: name: Ghils, Thibaut
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Sous l'Ancien Régime, la Vallée Scarpe-Escaut formait un espace multifonctionnel axé sur l'humide. Les populations y avaient développé des pratiques agropastorales spécifiques et variées, la transformant en un territoire d'eau largement multifonctionnel et productif. Les inondations constituaient un élément d'une hydraulique maîtrisée caractéristique de ce modèle. Un équilibre, à questionner, semblait exister entre une anthropisation contenue et une naturalité manifeste.

Motivé par des raisons économiques puis sanitaires, le dessèchement systématique des prairies humides des XVIIIe et XIXe entraîna le passage de l'élevage à l'agriculture. Ces mutations firent de la Vallée un territoire monofonctionnel où le rapport à l'eaus'est distendu. L'inondation se mua en un risque dont il fallait se prémunir. À l'inverse de la période précédente, les transformations du territoire furent systématisées et irrémédiables.

Aujourd'hui, de l'ONU à l'UE, les zones humides et la restauration des biotopes sont au centre des préoccupations. L'angle d'analyse actuel est celui des fonctions écosystémiques qui privilégie la conservation et la restauration de la biodiversité maisn'accorde qu'une attention mineure aux fonctions productives.

L'Histoire peut-elle nous inspirer afin d'imaginer un projet de territoire multifonctionnel centré sur l'humide et de nouveaux usages économiques redéployés ?Dans une approche rétroprospective, cette thèse cherche à identifier les modalités d'une nouvelle territorialité au départ de la réhumidification de la Vallée Scarpe-Escaut visant au redéploiement de ses services écosystémiques. Elle pose en outre la question de la notion de territoire et s'interroge sur les éléments nécessaires à la mise en place de celui-ci.

description: This thesis proposes a kinematic reduction for Kirchhoff-Love shells in the special case of developable base surfaces that deform isometrically. These specifications apply (approximately) whenever large deformations with small material strains occur, as for example during paper bending or the installation of flexible flat cables in consumer electronics. The model resulting from this reduction considers a curve and a director field along it, reducing the shell to items with one-dimensional parameter domain and thereby decreasing the number of degrees of freedom involved. A thorough study of the differential geometry of this model culminates in a set of geometric constraints on the base curve and the director vector field which are proven to be equivalent to isometric surface deformation. Thus, the equilibrium state of a developable reference ribbon under given boundary conditions is the minimiser of the elastic shell energy with respect to the constraints. Different optimisation methods are compared to each other, and the numerical behaviour of the approach is studied. Eventually, several examples illustrate the applicability of the model – among them, the famous Möbius strip.

Retrieval Augmented Generative Task-oriented Dialogue Systems

Year: 2022

description: In this thesis, we study task-oriented dialogue systems that rely on efficient knowledge inference from background knowledge sources and dialogue history to satisfy a user goal. While the conventional modular architectures and the new age end-to-end architectures are the more established design choices for task-oriented dialogue systems, in this thesis, we propose a relatively simple - retrieve-and-generate strategy for task-oriented dialogue systems. Our proposed approach enjoys the best of both architectures while addressing their respective limitations. We experiment with different retrieval techniques using sparse representations and dense embeddings. Considering the diversity of task-oriented dialogue datasets, we experiment with SMD, Camrest, and MultiWOZ-2.1. Furthermore, in view of the entity-rich nature of task-oriented dialogue systems, we question the typical process of introducing auxiliary objectives for better capturing entity awareness, with a simple alternative: adding a syntax embedding layer on top of the standard token embedding and position embedding layers, thereby explicitly adding syntactic knowledge into the model parameters. We propose to use a syntax-infused transformer, a model that explicitly leverages syntactic information by augmenting readily available entity-level metadata, e.g. part-of-speech tags. Despite its simplicity, the syntax-infused transformer is effective. On standard evaluation benchmarks for task-oriented dialogue systems, our proposed syntax-infused model exceeds our base model by an average of 13 Entity-F1 points and 2.8 BLEU points across the three datasets. At the same time, experimental results further confirm that our proposed model outperforms existing state-of-the-art models on the Entity-F1 metric. The empirical analysis further confirms the efficacy of our approach. Overall, our work proposes a relatively more interpretable, easily reproducible and lightweight model in terms of trainable parameters while achieving comparable performance with state-ofthe-art models. Additionally, we conduct robust error analysis for the generated responses together with the evaluation metrics and propose a handful of future research directions.

description: Recently, infotainment system has been used in the majority of new cars. It is considered as one of the car’s specifications. Nowadays, the consumers become bored from using the traditional infotainment systems because these systems are customized for the driver and disregard the passengers who want to be able to access the Internet and keep in touch with their friends any time they want besides getting entertained through watching movies and listening to the music. This study illustrates the portal design and the features of a new infotainment system that serves three kinds of users: drivers, passengers, and children. Moreover, this system adds a new feature which allows the users to share the information, such as locations and multimedia contents, and chatting between cars using VANET services. In addition, combines many features of some famous cars’ infotainment system to be in a single system and provide the passengers with some important services such as touristic services and health and safety services. While designing in car infotainment system, there are some constraints that aim to increase drivers and passengers safety in the same time decrease drivers distraction besides offering some entertainment and provide the needed information. Therefore, this paper studies some important guidelines that should be followed in designing the user interface of any infotainment system. Furthermore, we demonstrate the three phases of the design process: discovery phase, design phase and implementation. Using the collected data we designed a first mockup prototype that we submitted for some users’ evaluation. Some problems were spotted and corrected. This resulted in the development of a first functional prototype that was implemented in iOS. This design was tested as well. We finally propose an improved version of the interface and we test it in simulation using a tablet (iPad). The different prototypes will be exposed in this document along qualitative (satisfaction) and quantitative (time) results of their usability. These results are encouraging and showed the validity of our approach.

FIG. 11
A single cast in sediment that measures about 8 mm high is questionably referred to the genus Lima based on its overall shape and broad, square radial ribs which curve toward the posterior end. The mold recovered is small with 13 broad, ribs slightly curving to the posterior end, that are square-sided with interspaces that are slightly less wide than the corresponding rib. The overall shape and sculpture is indicative of the genus Lima, which is known in California from only two species: Lima cf. Li. caribaea (d’Orbigny, 1853) from the late Miocene part of the “Imperial” Formation north of Palm Springs, Riverside County (Powell 1986) and Li. vedderi Moore, 1977, which occurs in the Monterey Formation (Moore 1977), the Santa Margarita Sandstone (Addicott et al. 1978), and unnamed Miocene strata on San Clemente Island, Los Angeles County, southern California (Moore 1977). It is easily distinguished from both these species by lacking sculpture on the ribs and its small size. Miodontiscus prolongatus Carpenter, 1864 (Carditidae de Lamarck, 1809) somewhat resembles the cast, however; the shell shape is slightly different and Mi. prograongatus does not have as many ribs as the Caldecott Tunnel specimen.

description: Although research shows the link between flow and social interaction, this study explores the role of ICT skills in order to experience flow and social interaction. I used constructivism theory as it explains how humans make meaning from personal experiences, social interaction and tools (e.g., language and computer). The theory of flow was applied because it stipulates that people experience flow when they are fully engaged in any activity (Nakamura & Csikszentmihalyi 2002). Four participants were recruited for this study. A pilot study with three stages was conducted to design a research protocol used in the main study. A pre and post-test was answered to determine the significance of ICT skills in relation to the experience of flow and social interaction during gameplay experience. I described the experiences of each participant using a case study approach and all the participants reported flow and social interaction in relation to their level ICT skills. I found that the participant with low ICT score required more social interaction to experience flow and participants with high ICT score required social interaction to maintain flow.

description: In many practical optimization problems, several objectives need to be considered. A common task is to approximate the nondominated set which allows a decision maker to study the trade-offs between conflicting objectives. In this thesis, the simplicial sandwiching algorithm, a well-known algorithm for the approximation of convex bounded nondominated sets, is analyzed, extended, and improved. In the first part, an analysis of the convergence behavior of the sandwiching algorithm is presented. Then, a method for the efficient computation of the approximation quality of approximations created by the sandwiching algorithm is derived which improves the sandwiching approximation time by up to 94%. In the last part, the ideas of the sandwiching algorithm are extended to the efficient approximation of multiple convex nondominated sets, which can arise from multiobjective mixed-integer convex optimization problems. An algorithm is introduced that exploits convexity and is applicable to general numbers of objective functions. Its performance is illustrated using several numerical examples.

description: Phoebe bournei is a rare and endangered woody species and the success of its plantation development is dependent upon proper seedling cultivation. This study explored the regulation of N, P and K fertilizer and the interaction of these macronutrients on the growth of Phoebe bournei seedlings. To determine the optimum rate and ratio of N–P–K fertilizer in seedling cultivation, we used the unique “3414” incomplete orthogonal regression design to evaluate the effects of N–P–K fertilization on seedling morphological development. One-year-old Phoebe bournei bareroot seedlings were grown for one growing season under the defined fertilization regime, with their morphological development determined by measuring seedling attributes—root, stem, leaves and total biomass, root collar diameter and seedling height. These attributes were then combined to calculate the following indices: height-diameter ratio, shoot-root ratio and the seedling quality index (QI). Results showed that the N–P–K fertilizer had significant and beneficial effect on seedling cultivation. N effect was highest, followed by K and P. The three-way N×P×K interaction effect was strong, and the two-way interactions effect was highest for N×P, followed by P×K and N×K. At the “2” level of N (0.532 g·plant−1), P (P2O5, 0.133 g·plant−1), and K fertilizer (K2O, 0.356 g·plant−1), seedling growth and biomass accumulation were at their maximum. Unary, binary, and ternary quadratic fertilizer effect function equations of QI were established. Through comparative analysis, the ternary quadratic model was the optimal model and through a simulation–optimization, the optimal N–P–K fertilizer rates were 0.373~0.420 g·plant−1 (N), 0.086~0.106 g·plant−1 (P2O5), 0.243~0.280 g·plant−1 (K2O), with a N–P–K ratio of 1:0.20:0.43~1:0.65:0.75.

description: In der heutigen Zeit werden ca. 90 % des weltweiten Energiebedarfs aus der Verbrennung von Brennstoffen gewonnen. Eine Anwendung bei der die Energieversorgung durch Brennstoffe unersetzlich ist, sind Flugkörper und insbesondere Raketen. Raketen werden in der Raumfahrt, für militärische Anwendung aber auch für zivile Anwendungen eingesetzt. Typische Beispiele dafür sind Trägerraketen, militärische Flugkörper oder Feuerwerksraketen. Es existiert eine Vielzahl von Raketentreibstoffen, die z.B. sich hinsichtlich ihrer Leistung, Zusammensetzung, Sicherheit, Kosten und Anwendung unterscheiden. Anhand ihres physikalischen Zustands können diese auch in Flüssig-, Fest- und Hybridtreibstoffe differenziert werden. Die Entwicklung von neuen Raketentreibstoffen ist seit vielen Jahren ein bedeutsames Forschungsgebiet, um unter anderem die Effizienz, die Leistung und die Sicherheit der Treibstoffe zu optimieren. Ein wichtiges Leistungsmerkmal von Raketentreibstoffen ist deren Abbrandgeschwindigkeit. Um diese zu untersuchen, werden der Abbrand der Treibstoffe bei unterschiedlichen Temperaturen und Drücken untersucht. Typischerweise werden dazu Treibstoffproben in einem Hochdruckautoklav unter kontrollierten Bedinungen abgebrannt. Ein solches System wird am Fraunhofer Institut für Chemische Technologie zur Erforschung von Raketentreibstoffen eingesetzt. Der verwendete Hochdruckautoklav ist seitlich mit Fenstern ausgestattet, die es ermöglichen, den Abbrand der Treibstoffe mit optischen Messgeräten, wie z.B. Spektrometern, Hochgeschwindigkeitskameras oder Wärmebildkameras, aufzuzeichnen und dadurch das Abbrandverhalten derTreibstoffe zu charakterisieren [3]. Aufgrund dieser Sichtfenster wird der experimentelle Aufbau (Abbildung 1) auch als Optische Bombe bezeichnet. Die Optische Bombe unterscheidet sich von anderen Systemen dieser Art dadurch, dass die Brennkammer während des gesamten Abbrands mit einem Prozessgas durchspült wird. Durch die Strömung sollen die bei einer Verbrennung entstehenden Reaktionsprodukte kontrolliert aus der Brennkammer geleitet werden, sodass die Treibstoffproben nicht während des Versuchs von heißen Verbrennungsgasen erwärmt und die Sicht der Messgeräte auf die Proben durch Rauch eingeschränkt wird.

Distributed Feedback Lasers

description: Semiconductor corrugated ridge waveguide (CRW) distributed feedback (DFB) lasers offer compelling advantages over standard DFB lasers. Indeed, the use of surface gratings etched on the ridge waveguide sidewalls in CRW-DFB devices avoids any epitaxial overgrowth. This provides a considerable simplification in the fabrication process, reducing cost and time of manufacturing, and ultimately increasing yield. It offers also the potential for monolithic integration with other devices, paving the way towards low-cost and mass-production of photonics integrated circuits. In recent years, the re-consideration of growth-free DFB lasers has drawn considerable attention, particularly with the current state-of-the-art photolithography machines. In this work, we present an experimental investigation on two generations of InGaAsP/InP multiple-quantum-well (MQW) CRW-DFB lasers that have been fabricated using stepper lithography. An early developed 1310 nm CRW-DFB laser showed stable single mode with high side-mode suppression ratios (SMSR) (>50 dB), albeit with thresholds higher than anticipated. A subsequent single-mode 1550 nm CRW-DFB laser showed stable operation with SMSR (>50 dB) and narrow spectral linewidths (≤250 kHz), observed for a wide range of current injection. Besides, novel multi-electrode CRW-DFB lasers have been tested. The experimental investigation showed that narrower linewidth (<150 kHz) and wide wavelength tunability (>3 nm) have been recorded using different multi-electrode current injection configurations. The application of a time-domain modeling approach for semiconductor CRW-DFB lasers is then described for the first time. We numerically studied the effect of the radiation modes on CRW-DFB laser properties by using time-domain coupled wave equations. High-order corrugated gratings with λ/4 phase-shit were analyzed, where the degree of longitudinal spatial hole burning (LSHB) can be effectively reduced by means of fine tuning of the grating duty cycle. Additionally, we showed how the side-mode suppression ratio can be predicted depending on the device geometry.

FIG. 12
A single small cast is questionably identified as the genus Crenella based on its shape, size, and radial scultpure indicitative of the genus. No extinct species of this genus have been reported from California and the oldest recorded fosssil occurrence of the modern species is from the Pliocene (Moore 1983). This specimen likely represents a new species but without better specimens it does not warrant naming at this time.
