description: Obwohl die Kernresonanz als analytische Methode relativ unempfindlich ist, so beginnt sie trotzdem in der Nanotechnologie eine zunehmend wichtige Rolle zu spielen. Das gilt vor allem dann, wenn gleichartige Nanostrukturen in großer Zahl vorliegen, so wie das beispielsweise bei Nanopartikeln und Nanokapseln der Fall ist. In der Medizin dienen solche Bauelemente als Wirkstoffträger, in der Materialwissenschaft werden sie zur Funktionalisierung von Oberflächen eingesetzt. In beiden Anwendungsbereichen erlaubt die Kernresonanz entscheidende Einblicke in den Aufbau und die Funktion der komplexen Nanostrukturen.
description: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy is an extremely versatile analytical technique which yields a wealth of data on molecular systems. Its main disadvantage – the lack of sensitivity – seems to exclude any application in the field of nanotechnology. However, this drawback is easily compensated by using a large number of nanostructures, e.g. dispersed nanoparticles. This chapter summarizes and explains possible NMR experiments on nanoparticles based on this approach. All of them rely on the NMR-specific capability of independently detecting two pieces of information on each molecular system constituent: its chemical nature as well as its molecular mobil-ity. With this in hand, it is easily possible to identify all structural system components. Further, one can follow their formation, their decomposition and observe chemical exchange processes in the equilibrium and the non-equilibrium state. Hence, all possible functions of desired nanoparticle carriers can be studied on a single dispersion sample. Generally, the NMR data are analyzed using a computer model of the particle system which is able to reproduce the full width of NMR experiments based on a chosen parameter set. This approach will serve as an important tool for future developments on nanoparticles for various applications.

description: Power electronics are used anywhere where there is a need to process electrical energy. It could be for changing currents, voltages and/or frequency. Power electronics is different from general electronics in a sense that it deals with processing energy instead of information. The most important metric in power electronics is efficiency. The use of power electronics is growing rapidly in the area of renewable power generation. This change is because of increasing supply and demand gap of power, prospect of cost savings from electric bills, scarcity of fossil fuels, excess CO2 emissions, unavailability of capital to build traditional power plants are few of the challenges that power electronics is helping to solve. This paper discusses the basic power electronic devices, their usage and commercial power electronic systems being used in renewable PV energy generation and consumption.

description: Die moderne Kernspinresonanz leistet einen großen Beitrag zur Aufklärung der Wechselwirkung von Proteinen und deren Wirkungsweise auf atomarer Ebene. Durch ihr Verständnis können wir zelluläre Vorgänge verändern oder blockieren. Forschungen auf diesem Gebiet brauchen Expertenwissen, hochgeschulte Techniker und eine Vielzahl biotechnologischer und instrumenteller Hilfsmittel. Notwendig ist dies, um immer dann gezielt über Medikamente in das Protein-Netzwerk von Zellen einzugreifen, wenn Prozesse „aus dem Ruder laufen“ und sich Krankheiten einstellen.
description: Since the beginning of history, mankind has sought to cure and heal diseases caused by parasites, bacteria and viruses, genetic imprinting, aging processes or those triggered by natural or industrial toxics and pollutants. Fortunately, we live in an era of modern med-icine in which many drugs have been developed to combat most of these illnesses. It is fascinating that modern scientists design effective drugs capable of acting in a living system such as a human cell or a human body which has evolved, adapted and been perfected over hundreds of millions of years. What basic principles underlie cancer drugs, antibiotics or virostatics? This article aims to give an insight into the technical foundations of modern protein-directed NMR spectroscopy and how it can be employed to make interactions between macromolecules „visible“. The knowledge gained with structure determination on atomic resolution can be used to specifically design drug-based therapies.

description: Ein erfolgversprechender Weg, dem Treibhauseffekt zu begegnen und gleichzeitig die individuelle Mobilität der Autofahrerinnen und -fahrer nicht zu beschränken, ist der zumindest teilweise Einsatz vorzugsweise regenerativ gewonnener elektrischer Energie zum Betrieb von Kraftfahrzeugen. Dies treibt den Trend weg vom rein verbrennungsmotorischen hin zum elektrischen, mindestens aber teilelektrischen Antriebsstrang. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden in diesem Beitrag Treiber und Hindernisse dieses Trends, mögliche Lösungswege sowie die technischen Schlüsselkomponenten elektrischer und teilelektrischer Antriebsstränge diskutiert.
description: This article gives a brief overview of different aspects of electric mobility. The need for this new technology in the automobile industry is reviewed and the basic advantages of an electric vehicle will be illustrated. The author introduces the “well to tank” and the “tank to wheel” efficiency in order to quantify the entire energy chain from the fossil or regenerative source to the road. Other boundary conditions such as pricing of resources, demographics, legislative and customer requirements are mentioned. The technical principles of electrified vehicles are then discussed. This will provide a picture of the possibilities and the future prospects for electric vehicles as well as combustion engines. The fundamentals and advantages of hybrid electric vehicles will be described. Following from that, a comparison of conventional vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles and battery-powered electric vehicles as well as a closer look at the contemporary battery technologies will be given. Finally, a simple estimation of the maximum costs of a battery system related to an economic use of electric vehicles and the future registrations of vehicles based on their propulsion system will be predicted.

Lancaster ha formalizzato la dinamica di una economia capitalistica in termini di un gioco differenziale (a somma nulla) fra capitalisti e lavoratori. il risultato principale che emerge da tale lavoro è che la separazione delle decisioni di risparmio, da un lato, e di investimento, dall'altro, determina normalmente una situazione di inefficienza (dinamica) per l'economia: si potrebbero realizzare livelli di benessere, per entrambe le classi, maggiori se vi fosse una qualche forma di coordinamento delle decisioni.

description: Bildgebung mit der Magnetresonanztomographie ist und bleibt ein extrem spannendes – und im wahrsten Sinne auch anschauliches – Forschungsfeld nicht nur im medizinischen Bereich, sondern auch zur Darstellung kognitiver Prozesse. Ein wesentliches Ziel der Medizin ist die Entdeckung und Behandlung verschiedener Veränderungen und Erkrankungen, bevor auffällige Symptome auftreten und die damit einhergehenden Körperschädigungen vorangeschritten sind. Die MRT wird sicherlich eine zentrale Rolle zur Erreichung dieses Ziels einnehmen.
description: Imaging with the help of magnetic resonance is an exciting research area, not only within medicine but also for depicting various cognitive processes of the brain. Each day, hundreds of thousands of patients benefit from this technology. The recent and ongoing introduction of even stronger magnets to enhance the signal from tissue might finally enable the routine in vivo imaging of other nuclei besides hydrogen. Especially promising is the conjunction of improved imaging techniques with the development of new targeted contrast agents that are able to dock to specific receptors within the body. Even the smallest cancerous metastases, which thus far have remained occult to conventional imaging, might be discovered with these techniques. A principal goal of medicine is the identification and treatment of various diseases before noticeable symptoms and associated tissue damage have emerged. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will certainly play a vital role in achieving this goal.

The demand for microcredit as a determinant for microfinance outreach: evidence from China
Creators: name: CHENG, ENJIANG
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2007

description: The studies on the outreach of microfinance programmes have so far focused on the supply side: the higher transactional costs incur when a microfinance institution (MFI) reaches out to the poor. Using a large household survey dataset from China, this study examines the low outreach achieved by three MFIs in China from a perspective of demand. The study found that the Grameen model microfinance programmes in China have failed to target the very poor automatically in the poor areas, as the demand for micro-loans is positively related to the household incomes, the opportunities for off-farm investment and the educational level of female borrowers. Many poor households rationed themselves out of the microcredit market. The study concludes that the current microfinance programmes in China even failed to target the very poor in the very poor areas of China, and have not contributed positively to poverty reduction. To improve the outreach of microfinance programmes to the poor, it is important to raise the demand for micro-loans from the poor by removing the other constraints and by tailoring the micro-loan products to the need of the poor. More importantly, direct fiscal support would be more important for the very poor in the poor areas.
Kinetic field theory: effects of modified gravity theories with screening mechanisms on non-linear cosmic density fluctuations

description: In a mean-field approximation within Kinetic Field Theory, it is possible to derive an accurate analytic expression for the power spectrum of present-day non-linear cosmic density fluctuations. It depends on the theory of gravity and the cosmological model via the expansion function of the background space-time, the growth factor derived from it, and the gravitational coupling strength, which may deviate from Newton's constant in a manner depending on time and spatial scale. In earlier work [1], we introduced a functional Taylor expansion around general relativity and the cosmological standard model to derive the effects of a wide class of modified-gravity theories on the non-linear power spectrum, assuming that such effects need to be small given the general success of the standard model. Here, we extend this class towards theories with small-scale screening, modeling screening effects by a suitably flexible interpolating function. We compare the Taylor expansion with full mean-field solutions and find good agreement where expected. We find typical relative enhancements of the non-linear power spectrum between a few and a few ten per cent in a broad range of wave numbers between $k\gtrsim0.1-10\,h\,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$, in good qualitative agreement with results of numerical simulations. Taking nDGP gravity as a quantitative example we compare our results to N-body simulations and find percent-level agreement for wavenumbers $k\lesssim 2\,h\,\text{Mpc}^{-1}$, if the scale where screening sets in, $k^*$, is adapted appropriately. This extends the application of our analytic approach to non-linear cosmic structure formation to essentially all classes of modified-gravity theories.

Bu uygulama ile, bulguların keşif noktalarını ve kullanım bağlamlarını değerlendirerek müzik aktivitelerinin bölgelerinin belirlenmesi sağlanmaktadır. Bu şekilde, müzikal performansların kültürel dini ve sosyal anlamlarının yorumlanması sağlanmaktadır. Bu araştırma Batı Yunanistan özelinde bir müzikal geleneğe odaklanarak Selinus bağlamında müziğin rolünü açıklamayı hedeflemektedir: Kalıntılar Batı’daki Yunanlıların anakaranın müzikal mirasını kullanarak kültürel kimliklerini nasıl güçlendirdikleri ile ilgili görüşler ortaya koymak için olanak sunmaktadır. 


Abstract
This paper combines the methods of musicology and archeology and applies them in the study of archaeological remains of musical interest, considering their findspot and original context of use in order to place musical activities in a well-defined space and occasion; and to interpret the cultural, religious and social meaning of musical performances. The research will bring out a particular musical tradition of the Western Greeks and will reconstruct the role of music in the specific context of Selinus: the remains offer the opportunity for a reflection on the way in which the Western Greeks reworked the musical heritage of the motherland, and reinforced their cultural identity.
Implementation challenges : ecosystem based management on the North Central Coast of British Columbia
Creators: name: Harvey, Amanda
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Ecosystem based management is the holistic management framework being used on a portion of British Columbia’s North Central Coast that has come to be known as the Great Bear Rainforest. The Great Bear Rainforest arose from tensions between forest companies extracting timber in the region and environmentalists concerned with conservation as well as land use planning disagreements between the Government of British Columbia and local First Nations. Ecosystem based management seeks to develop timber resources in this coastal temperate rainforest in a sustainable manner by implementing new regulations and increasing protected areas; it further seeks to achieve high levels of human wellbeing for residents of the region. With these new timber development regulations came a host of implementation challenges due to a lack of primary data and clarity. These implementation challenges include the integration and interaction of social, economic and ecological concerns in the region; planning challenges include the integration of multiple scales of planning to meet objectives at varying levels; and mapping challenges include the availability and source of primary mapping data used to create the implementation guidelines in the regulations.

description: Presenterò qui, rielaborandole, alcune considerazioni tratte dalla mia tesi di laurea “L’estetica musicale in Aristotele, Studio del ‘trattato’ peri mousikes all’interno di Politica VIII.

In particolare il contributo nasce dal terzo capitolo della mia tesi dedicato alla singolare interpretazione aristotelica della musica come schole, ovvero come una forma di contemplazione.

L'articolo può essere riassunto nel seguente schema:

- Presentazione lavoro

- Spiegazione dell’idea di “trattato” in merito a Politica VIII

- Riepilogo

- Otium

- Esempi di altri contesti (politici, metafisici) in cui compare otium come esempio di attività che è fine a se stessa

- Rapporto fra otium e paidia: analogie formali e differenze sostanziali. Passi a supporto da Metafisica ed Etica Nicomachea

- Ripresa dell’argomentazione aristotelica in chiave educativa dopo la digressione sull’otium: a) otium e diagoge; b) dicotomia fra i saperi; c) Aristotele cita Omero: Omero supporta l’idea di una schole/diagoge caratterizzata dal piacere: soluzione al problematico rapporto iniziale tra i due concetti; revisione dei rapporti fra le discipline

Il formalismo estetico da Johann Friedrich Herbart a Robert Zimmermann
Creators: name: Moro, Nadia
Publisher: name: De Musica
Year: 2014

description: Concrete and abstract. Aesthetic formalism from Johann Friedrich Herbart to Robert Zimmermann. Zimmermann (1824–1898) contributes an important Ästhetik to the history of aesthetic formalism and he is a major representative of Herbartianism in Vienna. In my analysis I show, on the one hand, that he aims to delivering a systematic work, based on the insights which Herbart (1776–1841) had already provided, without treating them exhaustively. On the other hand, I argue that it is not unproblematic to reconcile Zimmermann’s views with Herbart’s ideas, especially when crucial notions such as ‘form’ and ‘relationship’ are considered. Paradoxically, the distance between the two thinkers ultimately emerges from the essay in which Zimmermann examines the analogy Herbart himself had drawn between music theory and practical philosophy. After analysing Zimmermann and Hostinský’s debate concerning Herbart’s axiological formalism, I conclude that, whenever Zimmermann broadens Herbart’s theories, pursuing their explanation and systematic completion, he betrays the main issues of Herbartian formalism and philosophy; Herbart’s most profitable theories―concrete formalism and functionalism―are thus abandoned in favour of abstract, void constructions.

description: 6D object pose estimation remains challenging for many applications due to dependencies on complete 3D models, multi-view images, or training limited to specific object categories. These requirements make generalization to novel objects difficult for which neither 3D models nor multi-view images may be available. To address this, we propose a novel method One2Any that estimates the relative 6-degrees of freedom (DOF) object pose using only a single reference-single query RGB-D image, without prior knowledge of its 3D model, multi-view data, or category constraints. We treat object pose estimation as an encoding-decoding process, first, we obtain a comprehensive Reference Object Pose Embedding (ROPE) that encodes an object shape, orientation, and texture from a single reference view. Using this embedding, a U-Net-based pose decoding module produces Reference Object Coordinate (ROC) for new views, enabling fast and accurate pose estimation. This simple encoding-decoding framework allows our model to be trained on any pair-wise pose data, enabling large-scale training and demonstrating great scalability. Experiments on multiple benchmark datasets demonstrate that our model generalizes well to novel objects, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy and robustness even rivaling methods that require multi-view or CAD inputs, at a fraction of compute.

Il tempo nella poetica di Ligeti: dalla musica misurata alla musica statica

Year: 2016

description: Abstract
Il rapporto tra tempo e musica è stato da sempre al centro di riflessioni estetiche e filosofiche: oggetto di indagine ad opera di pensatori, teorici e compositori, ha condotto a differenti formulazioni, senza mai approdare ad una definizione univoca. Il presente lavoro si prefigge di offrire un ventaglio delle principali speculazioni di pensiero nate a riguardo, soffermandosi in particolar modo su quella del compositore ungherese György Ligeti. Dalla concezione del tempo "misurato" , caratterizzato da linearità e legato ancora alla tradizione, giungeremo, attraverso la breve parentesi dell’esperienza della musica elettronica e l’influenza esercitata dal pensiero di Adorno, all’idea di musica statica, in cui si assiste ad un tentativo di ingabbiamento del flusso del tempo.

description: Objective To investigate causes, characteristics and temporal trends of paediatric major trauma. Design A retrospective review of paediatric major trauma (<16 years of age) was conducted using data from the population-based Victorian State Trauma Registry from 2006 to 2016. Temporal trends in population-based incidence rates were evaluated using Poisson regression. Setting Victoria, Australia. Results Of the 1511 paediatric major trauma patients, most were male (68%), had sustained blunt trauma (87%) and had injuries resulting from unintentional events (91%). Motor vehicle collisions (15%), struck by/collisions with an object or person (14%) and low falls (13%) were the leading mechanisms of injury. Compared with those aged 1–15 years, a greater proportion of non-accidental injury events were observed in infants (<1 year) (32%). For all patients, isolated head injury (29%), other/multitrauma (27%) and head and other injuries (24%) were the most prevalent injury groups. The incidence of paediatric major trauma did not change over the study period (incidence rate ratio (IRR)=0.97; 95% CI 0.92 to 1.02; p=0.27), which was consistent in all age groups. There was a 3% per year decline in the incidence of transport events (IRR=0.97; 95% CI 0.94 to 0.99; p=0.005), but no change in the incidence of falls of any type (IRR=1.01; 95% CI 0.97 to 1.04; p=0.70) or other events (IRR=1.00; 95% CI 0.97 to 1.02; p=0.79). The overall in-hospital mortality rate was 7.2%. Conclusions This study demonstrated no change in the incidence of paediatric major trauma over an 11-year period. Given the potential lifelong impacts of serious injury in children, additional investment and coordination of injury prevention activities are required.

 Centris ? cornuta CRESSON, 1865. 4:194, 195.
 Type data. Cresson described this species with doubts about whether it belonged to Centris or not, given its particular morphology. It was described based on a single female specimen collected in an unknown locality in Cuba. The holotype is housed at IESH (Gundlach collection) and unfortunately it was not available during the development of this article.
Type locality. Greater Antilles: Cuba.
 Comments. This is one of the morphologically rarest species of the genus, so far only known from female specimens. They have mandibles dark brown, longer than the length of the compound eye (in frontal view) with two teeth relatively similar in size on the distal half; disc of the mesoscutum and dorsal surface of hind tibia with brown pubescence and metasoma dark brown. Unfortunately it is not easy to find in collections and nothing is known about its bionomy. Photographs can be found in VÉLEZ & VIVALLO (2012). The type locality cannot be further narrowed down than to Cuba. According to MOURE et al. (2007), this species has been also recorded in Haiti.

 Centris otomita CRESSON, 1879b. 7:214. Junior synonym of C. analis (Fabricius, 1804) (MOURE, 1960).
Type data. This species was described based on a single male specimen collected in an undetermined locality in Mexico. The holotype is housed at ANSP and it has the following data label: Mex. [printed]\ [red label] HoloTYPE [printed] 2627 [handwritten] (ANSP).
Type locality. Mexico.
 Comments. The holotype was collected by Sumichrast, the same collector of the type specimens of C. montezuma and C. totonaca. MICHENER (1954) proposed C. otomita as a junior synonym of C. totonaca, and subsequently MOURE (1960) synonymized this latter species with C. analis. Males of this species can be identified by the tridentate mandibles with the innermost teeth reduced and close to each other, the yellow spot on the anterior surface of the scape (Fig. 5) and by the mostly blackish pubescence on T 2- T 4 (Fig. 6). This is the most common and widely distributed species of C. (Heterocentris). It has been recorded from Mexico to southeastern Brazil (MOURE et al., 2007). The type locality of C. otomita cannot be further narrowed down than to Mexico.

description: Die Ganzkörper-Magnetresonanztomographie findet immer weitere Anwendungsgebiete in der Medizin. Hierzu zählen insbesondere Strategien der Vorsorgeuntersuchung und der Ausbreitungsdiagnostik bei Krebserkrankungen. Die Ganzkörperdiagnostik sollte jedoch nicht kritiklos angewendet werden. Stattdessen sollte man zwischen der Ganzkörper-MRT und dedizierter und ausführlicher Untersuchung eines Organs abwägen.
description: Whole-body MRI is a technically feasible procedure which is used for several medical indications. The technique is applied particularly for health screening strategies and tumor staging. However, the exact diagnostic impact of whole-body MRI is under current evaluation. Furthermore, the application of this technique is not without its limitations and a dedicated MRI scan of a single organ should be preferred under certain conditions.

Il problema della consonanza e la ricerca sperimentale contemporanea
Creators: name: Di Stefano, Nicola
Publisher: name: De Musica

description: Il fenomeno della consonanza è oggetto di indagine nella tradizione teorico-musicale occidentale sin dalle sue origini. Ad oggi, non esiste una teoria della consonanza la cui validità sia universalmente riconosciuta. Nella prima sezione dell’articolo, presentiamo quattro modelli di spiegazione della consonanza – quello aritmetico, psico-fisico, fisico-acustico e culturale – che, da Pitagora ad Helmholtz, possono distinguersi nell’arco dell’evoluzione storica della riflessione. Nella seconda sezione, consideriamo la ricerca sperimentale degli ultimi decenni in ambito di psicologia della musica. Se, negli studi sulla percezione della consonanza, le metodologie dirette rappresentano una fonte quasi inesauribile di dati, quelle comportamentali sembrano oggi attraversare un periodo di crisi, che porta ad una forte riflessione critica sul metodo e sui risultati. Nella conclusione, a partire da lavori di recente pubblicazione, delineiamo alcuni interessanti sviluppi che rinnovano, e in parte rivedono, l’apparato teorico-empirico tradizionale.

On-road bicycle lane types, roadway characteristics, and risks for bicycle crashes

description: Bicycle lanes reduce real and perceived risks for bicycle vs. motor vehicle crashes, reducing the burden of traffic injuries and contributing to greater cycling participation. Previous research indicates that the effectiveness of bicycle lanes differs according to roadway characteristics, and that bicycle lane types are differentially associated with reduced crash risks. The aim of this study is to combine these perspectives and identify the types of on-road bicycle lanes that are associated with the greatest reductions in bicycle crashes given the presence of specific roadway characteristics. We compiled a cross sectional spatial dataset consisting of 32,444 intersection polygons and 57,285 street segment polygons representing the roadway network for inner Melbourne, Australia. The dependent measure was a dichotomous indicator for any bicycle crash (2014–2017). Independent measures were bicycle lanes (exclusive bicycle lanes, shared bicycle and parking lanes, marked wide kerbside lanes, and kerbside bicycle lanes) and other roadway characteristics (speed limit, bus routes, tram routes, bridges, one-way flow, traffic lane width). In Bayesian conditional autoregressive logit models, bicycle lanes of all types were associated with decreased crash odds where speeds were greater, bus routes and tram stops were present, and traffic lanes were narrower. Only exclusive bicycle lanes were associated with reduced crash odds (compared to the expected odds given the presence of the bicycle lane and the roadway conditions) in all these setting. The extent to which on-road bicycle lanes reduce crash risks depends on the bicycle lane type, the roadway conditions, and the combination of these two factors. Bicycle lanes that provide greater separation between cyclists and vehicular traffic are most consistently protective.
Il sentimento è un’atmosfera? Il paradigma musicale del “terzo” Wittgenstein

description: Nella riflessione del Wittgenstein maturo, dalle Ricerche filosofiche in poi, è all’opera un tentativo di depsicologizzazione  del linguaggio psicologico, vale a dire un’indagine grammaticale relativa al modo in cui parliamo delle nostre esperienze “interne”. Centrale, in quest’ultimo tratto del percorso wittgensteiniano, è il termine “atmosfera” (Atmosphäre): attraverso una critica di tale concetto, il filosofo analizza il nostro modo di parlare dei processi psicologici e, in particolare, della comprensione linguistica, intesa come esperienza mentale “privata”. Contro l’idea che il significato accompagni la parola come una sorta di alone di senso, come un sentimento o una tonalità emotiva (Stimmung), Wittgenstein valorizza l’aspetto comunitario e già da sempre condiviso dell’accordo (Übereinstimmung) tra i parlanti. Il richiamo al modello musicale dell’accordo armonico tra le voci consente così di recuperare la dimensione atmosferica dell’esperienza linguistica, in cui si assiste a una “sintonizzazione” tra i parlanti, coinvolti in un comune sentire esteticamente connotato.

Parole chiave:

Wittgenstein, atmosfera, filosofia della psicologia, suono proposizionale, Stimmung, Übereinstimmung.

Engineering challenges with distributed generation

description: Distributed generation describes the connection of electricity generation close to the point of use, often directly to the distribution system [5]. Many electrical utilities are facilitating the connection of more distributed generation to replace or supplement centralized generation as a result of political, environmental, or economic pressures. There can be significant environmental and economic advantages related to connecting distributed energy resources; however, successful connections require that utilities overcome several engineering challenges. Distributed generation can impact electrical power systems in multiple areas including power flow direction and magnitude, voltage regulation, protection, and power quality. These impacts vary depending on the characteristics of the generator and the system it is connecting to. Despite these impacts, coordinated connection of distributed generation has the potential to improve electric system reliability and power quality, and reduce peak power requirements and land-use [6]. Centralized generation is often connected to long transmission networks which incur considerable line losses. These transmission networks require significant investment to build and maintain. Connecting generation closer to the customer can reduce line losses. Allowing customers to connect generation can reduce the financial burden on utilities to build and maintain these facilities. 2 This report will focus on the engineering challenges in connecting generation to radial distribution feeders, and is organized as follows: Impacts of Distributed Generation, Level of Impact by Generator and System Characteristics, and Conclusions.

description: Die Energiespeicherung ist eine der größten Herausforderungen für die Zukunft der Energieversorgung. Am Zentrum für BrennstoffzellenTechnik (ZBT GmbH) in Duisburg existiert ein breites Spektrum der Forschung zum intelligenten Batteriemanagement, die chemisches und ingenieurwissenschaftliches Wissen voraussetzt.
description: Energy storage in general will be a challenge for future energy supply structures. Electromobility will be one piece of the puzzle to substitute fossil energy carriers with renewable options. High power, high energy Li ion batteries are of immanent importance, in order to achieve the ambitious goals of sufficient driving range and driving comfort. New material compositions and structures are being developed and characterized within cooperative projects (LIVE-project, see http:// www.lib2015.de/). High voltage and high capacity materials are known in principle, but the requirements with respect to cycle life and safety, even in case of accidents, has to be proven. There is huge need for further R&D, and Germany needs to catch up with the leading battery groups worldwide, working mainly in Japan, Korea, the USA, France and China.

description: Die Energiedichte von Batterien zu steigern, um möglichst viel Energie pro Volumen und Batteriegewicht transportieren zu können, steht im Zentrum der Entwicklungsaufgaben für die Elektromobilität. Die Autorin und die Autoren arbeiten am Center for Nanointegration, CeNIDE innerhalb des NanoEnergieTechnikZentrums, NETZ an der Entwicklung solcher Hochleistungsbatterien und wagen in diesem Artikel einen Blick in die Zukunft.
description: Electricity is a mainstay of today’s energy supply and is gaining in importance as it can be easily channeled into several ways of utilization. Electrical energy storage can buffer fluctuating energy supply and use. It is clear that energy storage is also of vital importance for mobile applications from laptops to electric vehicles and an enormous demand for batteries with high storage capacity and power density is predicted. Nanostructuring of materials and the synthesis of nanocomposites are powerful ways to meet the requirements of future storage devices for electrical energy. The Nano Energy Technology Center (NETZ) under the direction of the Center for Nanointegration (CeNIDE) located at the University Duisburg-Essen addresses the challenging task to improve the properties of today’s batteries with a focus on lithium-ion batteries. New nanocomposites and nanostructured materials are being developed, synthesized and tested in electrochemical half-cells and batteries with respect to improving storage capacity and long-term stability. Research at NETZ also covers questions concerning the availability of (raw) materials and sustainability. Examples of materials under development, where the raw materials are abundant and non-toxic, are new silicon/carbon nanocomposites for a multifold increase of the anode capacity and highly nanostructured lithium-iron phosphate for batteries with high power density. The research and development activities in Duisburg are not only of academic interest; the apparatus required for the synthesis of new materials has been scaled up to pilot-plant scale at the Institute of Energy and Environmental Technology (IUTA), which provides the background to support industrial partners with sufficient materials for testing of processing routes and the integration of nanomaterials into innovative products.
