Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: In large-scale emergencies or widespread disruptions to healthcare systems, access to effectivebroad-spectrum antibiotics is crucial. This analysis compares two such antibiotics (Amoxicillin/Clavulanic Acid and Sultamicillin), evaluating their suitability for potential stockpiling inpreparation for crisis situations where rapid treatment must be administered with limited medicalsupervision. We define crisis on a spectrum ranging from supply chain disruptions to severe publichealth emergencies, encompassing scenarios where normal healthcare delivery is significantlycompromised. This academic paper assesses these antibiotics based on their spectrum of activity,dosage forms, storage requirements, side effect profiles, and effectiveness against commonpathogens in emergency situations. Additionally, we consider factors such as ease ofadministration, shelf life, and potential for use in varying environmental conditions. Our findingsaim to inform evidence-based decisions on antibiotic stockpiling strategies for emergencypreparedness, taking into account both medical efficacy and logistical feasibility in challengingcircumstances.

description: Monitoring immune system activation of wild animals has garnered increasing interest within the field of ecological immunology, leading to an urgent need for non-invasive biomarkers measuring these changes. Urinary neopterin, a marker of the cell-mediated immune response, is validated as an immune-related biomarker in captive and laboratory animals. However, wild animals naturally host higher and chronic pathogen loads. Therefore, detection and quantification of additional infections via neopterin might not be possible against the background of a chronically challenged immune system. To assess the suitability of urinary neopterin in wild animals, we measured neopterin corrected for specific gravity with an enzyme immunoassay in 185 samples collected before, during and after a respiratory disease outbreak in 28 individuals from a group of wild chimpanzees (Taï National Park, Côte d’Ivoire). Urinary neopterin levels were significantly higher during periods when individuals showed respiratory symptoms versus before and after the outbreak. Furthermore, urinary neopterin levels were significantly higher in individuals that died, with higher levels already apparent before the outbreak, suggesting individuals may have an already activated immune system. Measuring urinary neopterin levels, with other biomarkers of energetic condition, stress challenges, and reproduction will contribute towards a deeper understanding of life-history trade-offs in wild animals.

description: There are renewed interest in the development of propellers due to the increased and extensive applications of unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) or commonly known as drones for aerial photography, parcel delivery, aerial surveillance, inspection, marketing and many other applications. These UAVs or drones are usually powered by fixed pitch propellers of small diameters driven by electrical motors. The required operating conditions for achieving the designed tasks in terms of lifts and speeds are typically in contrast with the need for having quieter or even silent UAVs or drones. The desire for light weight UAVs or drones has resulted in the use of carbon fibre composite propellers and such carbon fibre composite propellers have become common parts for the design and assembly of UAVs or drones. The present research would explore the use of natural fibre composites, for example, flax fibres composites and also hybrid fibre composites in mitigating the propeller noise with the increased damping characteristics due to the introduction of natural fibres. Typical natural fibre and hybrid fibre propellers for drones were fabricated for benchmarking with commercially available carbon fibre composite propellers as well as composite propellers produced by 3d printing. The noise characteristics at various rotating speeds for propellers made of both the natural fibre and hybrid composites as well as commercially available carbon composites were measured in an anechoic chamber by attaching the propellers to a motor on a stationary platform. The natural fibre and hybrid fibre composite propellers were also fixed onto standard quadrotor drones for assessing the flight performance besides the noise characteristics.

description: Turbine inlet temperature is a parameter which affects the efficiency of a gas turbine engine. The higher this value is, the efficient the engine. Today turbine blades face temperatures in the order of 1500K which is far above the endurance limit of the blade material. Cooling is the primary method to reach these temperatures. \"Impingement cooling\" is an effective cooling technology used in gas turbines. In this study the flow and heat transfer characteristics of single impinging jets which issue from different nozzle geometries, i.e. lobed, were studied. The effect of nozzle exit geometry change is the main interest of the study. CFD analysis were conducted using v2f RANS turbulence model. Results were evaluated from a perspective of relations between flow and heat transfer.

Data interoperability
Identifier
FAIR data

description: The CORBEL project operates across 13 individual BMS RIs, each of which have developed over time towards service provision targeted to support their individual user communities. Hence, there are potentially differences in data handling and processing resulting from community specific preferences and customs (for example the deposition of data into preferred repositories), which will

differ across infrastructures. These potential disparities will need to be addressed to harmonise data and services across RIs, and is fundamental to enable downstream and wide scale interoperability.

The work described here addresses the specific objective: “Improve interoperability with European e-infrastructures and leverage existing investments these capacities within the biomedical and life science domain”, as detailed in the DoW1. This work involved input from and collaboration with 13 RIs, with 36 submitted project proposals (to date), and engaged numerous service providers. We

detail below the work, how it was conducted, as well as providing the feedback from the crossinfrastructure partners. We also distilled from these observations a set of recommendations to improve such endeavours in the future.

To achieve “Access to Sustainable cross infrastructure identifier service(s) through ELIXIR service registry”, we have identified and promoted the following Interoperability Registry Services, with particular focus placed on components ‘a’, ‘b’ and ‘d’:

a) An identifier registry, with resolution capability (https://identifiers.org/)

b) An Ontology registry, with cross-referencing capability (Ontology Lookup Service, OLS https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ols/index)

c) A Standards registry (FAIRsharing: https://fairsharing.org/)

d) A tools registry (https://bio.tools/)

Project proposals accepted through scientific CORBEL WP4 review were subsequently processed to identify and register project components to the most appropriate registry. Further details and feedback were solicited, from both scientists and service providers, for a prioritised subset of projects deemed most likely to benefit from additional interoperability evaluation. Over the course of this work, we have identified gaps in knowledge that warrant further exploration. Combined with our collective experiences (across WP partners, scientists and service providers), this feedback was used to generate a list of recommendations for future such operations.

description: The development of localized disturbances, generated by three-dimensional vibrating surface in the flat plate boundary layer at Re 1  600, is experimentally investigated. It is shown, that vibration of a three-dimensional surface with a large amplitude leads simultaneously to the formation of two types of perturbations in the boundary layer: longitudinal localized structures and two wave packets. Spatial development of oscillations at the central frequency of the wave packets is consistent with the linear theory of hydrodynamic stability.

description: Dynamical evolution of space debris in a vicinity of orbits of the global navigation satellite systems: GLONASS, GPS, BeiDou, Galileo was studied for 240 years. The time intervals to space debris objects get into the region of navigation satellites motion were estimated. Initial orbits of the objects were choosing in the GNSS orbit regions as well as 500 km above and below with respect to nominal semi-major axes of the navigation orbits. The results significantly depend on orbital plane position. The objects pass through the GNSS region due to long period oscillations of eccentricities and inclinations of orbits, which are produced by inclination dependent luni-solar resonances and the radiation pressure.

description: In meiner Arbeit “Rassismus gegen nicht-österreichische Fußballspieler im niederösterreichischen Amateurfußball” habe ich das Problem Rassismus im Fußball nicht auf der schon vielfach zuvor untersuchten Ebene des Profisports, sondern auf Amateurebene analysiert. Vor allem in den vergangenen Jahren ist „Rassismus im Fußball“ zu einem großen Problem im Fußball geworden. Verschiedenste Ausdrucksformen von Rassismus hielten/halten im Fußball in den vergangenen Jahren Einzug. Nicht nur auf der internationalen Fußballbühne, sondern auch im Amateurfußball. Nach einer theoretischen Einführung zum Thema Rassismus, der inhaltliche Rahmen meiner Arbeit, zeige ich Gründe und Formen von Rassismus im Amateurfußball auf der einen Seite sowie das große Integrationspotential des Fußballs auf der anderen Seite. Zudem habe ich Spieler sowie Mitspieler interviewt um einen noch genaueren Einblick in die Formen von Rassismus im Amateurfußball bzw. dessen großes Integrationspotential zu bekommen.

description: At present, the importance of services is increasing significantly in times of modernization and digitization of production systems. While the challenges of “Industry 4.0”, the “Industrial Inter- net of Things”, cyber-physical systems and smart factories are progressively being discussed at the product level, the question of how far services can be developed on the basis of a broad information base can also be specifically raised at the service level. The resulting approaches are also subsumed under the term “Smart Services”, with “Smart” usually being used for context-sensitive services tailored to the needs of the customer. The emerging field in service research is characterized in particular by the fact that IT is no longer under- stood as a pure “transformer” of digital services, but much more as an “enabler” of completely new approaches. In order to explore these approaches, it is important to examine to what extent today’s services and existing methods of service engineering for tomorrow’s smart services can be revolutionized. Service modeling can clarify interfaces between innovative technologies and new, individual business models and thus provide a valuable basis for discussion.

A Classification Framework for Service Modularization Methods

Publisher: name: Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures (EMISAJ)
Year: 2018

description: Service modularity has been suggested as a promising concept that can resolve the dilemma between increasing diversification of customer demands and the provider’s need for standardization and efficiency gains. Despite having been in the center of attention amongst service researchers for the past decade, service modularity still remains a rather theoretical concept with little application in practice. Previous publications have contributed conceptual and enterprise modeling methods to achieve modular service architectures by both adjusting product modularization methods to the service domain as well as designing new ones specifically for services. However, up to date, there exists no framework that would systematize and classify these methods concerning their premises as well as underlying modularity principles and objectives. The main contribution of this paper is the development of a framework that can be used to classify existing and future methods for service modularization based on two key dimensions, i. e., the phases of the modularization process and the types of structuring the modular architecture. The developed framework further points out which phases of the overall modularization process are still underdeveloped and how future research can contribute to making service modularity more accessible for practitioners.

description: Because of technological changes (e. g., Web 2.0 and the Internet of Things), service portals like MyHammer, Blauarbeit, and Amazon Home Services become increasingly important for research and practice. To increase the efficiency of service offers, new procurement methods that link service providers and service consumers are necessary. This article uses a scheduling approach that has been applied primary in the context of energy management: Demand-Side Management (DSM). Generally, DSM methods can be used to shift energy demand to favorable timeslots (e. g., lower-cost timeslots or those that help the energy supplier) to achieve goals like a flattened load profile, minimized costs, and grid reliability. In doing so, we argue that the basic concept of DSM is transferable to enable automatic matching of service offers and demands in a service portal. To explore potential benefits and drawbacks, we analyze service portals, including their functionalities and information needs, and compare them with the approaches offered by DSM. Then a mathematical model of an existing DSM approach is used to model the requirements of service portals. As a result, we conclude that DSM strategies can be useful in automating the procurement procedure in service portals, which facilitates more efficient and effective service offers and executions.

description: Die Geschichte der Prognose ist ebenso eine Geschichte literarischer Gattungen wie eine Geschichte der Genese moderner Wissenschaften. Die Anthologie Die Welt in 100 Jahren stellt nun mit ihren 23 Beiträgen ein Bindeglied zwischen Science-Fiction und moderner Futurologie bzw. zwischen Literatur und Wissenschaft dar: Vor genau 100 Jahren gaben namhafte, internationale Persönlichkeiten aus verschiedenen Wissenschaftsbereichen (wie z.B.: Hermann Bahr, Bertha von Suttner, Eduard Bernstein, Björne Björnson, Rudolf Martin oder Cesare Lombroso) literarische Zukunftsprognosen für das Jahr 2010 ab. Diese bieten durch ihr breit angelegtes Themenspektrum einen einzigartigen, populären mentalitätsgeschichtlichen Einblick in das Jahr 1910 und zeigen erstmalige Versuche auf, sich auf wissenschaftliche Art und Weise dem Zukünftigen anzunähern. Die Themenlandschaft der Beiträge erstreckt sich von technischen Extrapolationen auf dem Gebiet des Funks, über die Überwindung des Todes durch Radiumbehandlungen, moderne Kriegsführung, feministische Programmatik, Kolonialpolitik, die Maschine Mensch, Rassen- und Degenerationstheorien, Sport, Literatur, Religion, Sexualität, Astronomie, Menschenrechte, Musik, Kunst und vieles mehr. Da wir heute das Jahr 2010 schreiben ist ein Vergleich zwischen antizipierender Fiktion und Realität möglich, und es wird offensichtlich, wie eng verbunden Phantasie und Wissenschaft tatsächlich sind. Gegenwartskritik, Zukunftsängste und –hoffnungen prägen heute wie damals unser Zukunftsbild. Eine erstmalige, umfassende Auseinandersetzung mit der Anthologie Die Welt in 100 Jahren ist Ziel vorliegender Arbeit. Es wird versucht, ein Autorenregister anzulegen und die jeweiligen biographischen Einträge mit Kurzkommentaren zum Inhalt der einzelnen Beiträge zu versehen. Da der Bekanntheitsgrad einiger Autoren im Laufe der letzten 100 Jahre entschieden abgenommen hat und ein Rückgriff auf Vorarbeiten zu diesem Bereich nicht möglich ist, stellt sich dies als spannende Herausforderung dar. Die Einbettung des Sammelbandes in einer chronologischen Abwicklung der Geschichte der Zukunft (von ihren Anfängen bis heute) soll ebenso Teil dieser Diplomarbeit sein. Die Beschäftigung mit der Geschichte der Prognose in der Sekundärliteratur offenbart sich allerdings als rares Unterfangen. Die Geschichte der Zukunft und die Rekonstruktion des Zeitgeistes führen abschließend zu den möglichen „Zukünften“ von heute.

Toward a hybrid aesthetic: an interplay between traditional 2D hand drawn and 3D computer animation for a dream-inspired story
Creators: name: Chang, Yen-Jung
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research is a conceptual investigation into visual storytelling techniques for a dream-inspired story, and an empirical study for the production processes of a 3D computer animation with 2D graphical representations. The major project of this research, Sophie’s Secret, is a 3D computer animated short film rendered with 2D graphical styles to tell a dream-inspired story. A methodological model is established to organize the multiple disciplines in relation to this research.

Theories in both psychoanalysis and biological study of dreaming significantly inform storytelling in moving images. Strong emotions and bizarre scenarios are the two overarching characteristics that have been identified in both psychoanalytical and biological studies of dreaming. I have used a dream-inspired story to evoke emotion and juxtaposed bizarre scenarios in the production. Layers of meanings are expressed in the animation through the use of symbolization and condensation, the two mechanisms of Freud’s ‘dream work’. The adaptation and reconstruction for the story from the original dream ideas were conducted for meaningful self-expression and effective communication. The narrative structure after adaptation fits into the classic three acts and the ‘monomyth’ structure.

A hybrid aesthetic with multiple visual styles is created in this animation to represent a dream-like quality. This hybrid aesthetic is achieved through visual referencing of traditional 2D line and cel animations, alongside 3D computer techniques. The visual referencing of 2D line and cel animations, and the aesthetic judgment, were based on my professional experience and personal interests. United Production of America’s (UPA) animations, especially Gerald McBoing Boing, and Japanese anime, are the two major sources I referenced, because both are produced to express story ideas with stylised imagery and simplified processes.

With the decision to create the hybrid aesthetic and 2D graphical styles in this animation, 3D production processes are significantly simplified and the workflow becomes more flexible. This simplicity and the flexibility also make possible the creation of multiple visual styles that enable the animation to represent a dream-like quality. It is proposed that, from the production experience of this project, emerges a set of strategies and a set of visual ideas that will enable the creation of hybrid aesthetics between 3D computer and 2D graphical styles. These strategies and visual ideas can be further applied in my future productions and will also be of benefit to animators and artists who intend to apply 2D graphical styles to 3D computer techniques.
Techniques in secure chaos communication

Publisher: name: RMIT University

description: In today's climate of increased criminal attacks on the privacy of personal or confidential data over digital communication systems, a more secure physical communication link is required. Chaotic signals which have bifurcation behavior (depending on some initial condition) can readily be exploited to enhance the security of communication systems. A chaotic generator produces disordered sequences that provide very good auto- and cross- correlation properties similar to those of random white noise. This would be an important feature in multiple access environments. These sequences are used to scramble data in spread spectrum systems as they can produce low co-channel interference, hence improve the system capacity and performance. The chaotic signal can be created from only a single mathematical relationship and is neither restricted in length nor is repetitive/ cyclic. On the other hand, with the progress in digital signal processing and digital hardware, there has been an increased interest in using adaptive algorithms to improve the performance of digital systems. Adaptive algorithms provide the system with the ability to self-adjust its coefficients according to the signal condition, and can be used with linear or non-linear systems; hence, they might find application in chaos communication. There has been a lot of literature that proposed the use of LMS adaptive algorithm in the communication arena for a variety of applications such as (but not limited to): channel estimation, channel equalization, demodulation, de-noising, and beamforming. In this thesis, we conducted a study on the application of chaos theory in communication systems as well as the application of adaptive algorithms in chaos communication. The First Part of the thesis tackled the application of chaos theory in com- munication. We examined different types of communication techniques utilizing chaos theory. In particular, we considered chaos shift keying (CSK) and mod- ified kind of logistic map. Then, we applied space-time processing and eigen- beamforming technique to enhance the performance of chaos communication. Following on, we conducted a study on CSK and Chaos-CDMA in conjunction with multi-carrier modulation (MCM) techniques such as OFDM (FFT/ IFFT) and wavelet-OFDM. In the Second Part of the thesis, we tried to apply adaptivity to chaos com- munication. Initially, we presented a study of multi-user detection utilizing an adaptive algorithm in a chaotic CDMA multi-user environment, followed by a study of adaptive beamforming and modified weight-vector adaptive beam- forming over CSK communication. At last, a study of modified time-varying adaptive filtering is presented and a conventional adaptive filtering technique is applied in chaotic signal environment. Twelve papers have been published during the PhD candidature, include two journal papers and ten refereed conference papers.
The artist as anthropologist
Creators: name: ROBERTSON, Katherine
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: This research project explores the role of the artist as anthropologist and reflects the connection between rituals and earth-based community activities. The outcome of this project is be a series of photographic images that document how these communities experience a spiritual collective consciousness through group participation within selected activities.

Earth-based communities display faith and reliance on nature, and are located within the natural environment. For this project, I specifically focus on visiting and engaging with the earth-based community ConFest. Within these communities, member participants often express the term ‘spiritual’ in relation to group activities or rituals, as experiencing an intangible, yet higher sense of purpose in life. Moreover, these spiritual feelings are often expressed as a shared belief that provides a unifying force for the community, a ‘collective consciousness’.

This project investigates the potential for the artist to form a model of an anthropologist, as someone who studies the origin, the behaviour, and the physical, social, and cultural conditions of humans. Specifically, anthropological methods of engagement and documentation will be utilised to conduct interviews, take photographs, and to collect artifacts from individuals within these communities. These artifacts will serve as souvenirs of an anthropologist’s exploration. The artifacts will investigate and question the historical representation of artifacts outside of their original context or environment.
Mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of Z-pinned composites
Creators: name: Chang, Paul
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024

description: Z-pinning is a through-thickness reinforcement technology for polymer composite materials that has been developed and commercialised over the past fifteen years. The through-thickness reinforcement of composites with thin metallic or fibrous pins aids in suppressing delamination, improving impact damage tolerance and increasing joint strength. Z-pins are applied to the composite part during its manufacture. Pins are embedded within sheets of foam and placed over the unconsolidated part. Subsequently, the foam is compacted and the pins transferred into the part, which is usually an uncured prepreg. In this manner, large numbers of pins can be inserted quickly and easily. The pinned composite is then cured using conventional processes. The use of z-pins is currently limited to several high performance composite structures, most notably Formula One racing cars and F/A-18 E/F (Su perhornet) fighter aircraft, although the technology has potential applications in a diverse variety of aerospace and non-aerospace composite structures. A limited understanding of the mechanical performance of z-pinned parts under high load and fatigue loading conditions currently hinders the application of z-pinned composites. The aim of this PhD project is to investigate the mechanical properties, strengthening mechanics and failure mechanisms of z-pinned carbon/epoxy laminates and joints. The effect of z-pin reinforcement on the tensile and flexural properties of laminates under monotonic and fatigue loading is studied. The sensitivity of these properties to the volume content and diameter of the z-pins is systematically studied by experimentation and analytical modelling. This PhD also evaluates the efficacy of z-pins in improving the load-bearing properties of carbon/epoxy lap joints. Improvements to the room temperature and elevated temperature properties of z-pinned lap joints under monotonic and fatigue tensile loading were determined. The effect of strain rate on the load-bearing properties of z-pinned lap joints was also evaluated. A further aim of the PhD project was to assess the z-pin manufacturing process and the microstructural damage caused by that process. The outcome of this study augments the analysis of the me chanical properties of z-pinned laminates and joints.

 Material examined. Saudi Arabia. Farasan Is, Tiger Head I., karstic shore, 16.79097° N, 42.19865° E, UF 36969 (1). Thuwal, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, silty sand flat, south beach, 22.29213° N, 39.09000° E, UF 37048 * + others (4 males, 6 females, 8.4–14 mm). Madagascar, Nosy Bé, MNHN Th 409 (1), MNHN Th 424 (male), MNHN Th 426 (male), NMV J58224 (1).
 Diagnosis. Major cheliped dactylus swollen, upper and lower margins dentate; fixed finger with 2 dentate cutting edges. Rostrum acute, simple. Cl. to 18.1 mm.
 Distribution. Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, Western Indian Ocean (Saudi Arabia, Madagascar [type locality]).
 Remarks. Lenz and Richters (1881) illustrated the minor cheliped that, with its broad spinose dactylus, immediately distinguishes this species from other species of Lepidophthalmus, from all other callichirids and from members of related families. Sakai et al. (2014) synonymised L. socotrensis with Podocallichirus madagassus [sic]; the new material would seem to confirm this and any differences in the shapes of the uropod and telson are size-related. The species’ range is extended into the Red Sea.
The male pleopod 1 has a short second article with a distal triangular apex (fig. 3a); pleopod 2 has an appendix masculina bearing a small field of hooks, all that remains of the appendix interna (fig. 3b) – not as complicated as in Sakai (1999: fig. 10). Female pleopods are typical of the genus (fig. 3c, d)—the appendix interna on pleopod 2 is placed about two-thirds along the mesial margin of the endopod.

description: Despite their very similar objectives, delimitations or associations between the two business types of mass customization and providers of product-service-systems (PSS) cannot be found in literature. In the following article, both business types are compared with each other and mapped into a common businesstypological framework, the product-process-baseline-change matrix. Following that, the development of PSS is characterized especially with regard to the (re-)configurability of PSS over the life-cycle. Since product configuration is one of the key tools in the development and the customer co-design process in mass customization, its application to PSS is evaluated and present PSS-configuration approaches are discussed.

description: Smart services are an approach for the IT-supported provision of services based on networked products. They enable new relationships between manufacturers and end users, as well as the establishment of new value-creation networks. To gain benefits from these potentials, service providers face the challenges of designing and managing smart services. This is mainly due to the complexity of the underlying cyber-physical system (CPS) as well as the individual life cycles of components and third-party services it consists of. Additionally, a number of actors and their tasks, various tangible and intangible benefits, as well as flows of material, information and money need to be considered during the planning and provisioning of the service. In this paper, we investigate the potential of modelling smart services with the Lifecycle Modeling Language (LML). To this end, we analyse the fulfillment of information need of different stakeholders based on a consumable material replenishment service for 3D printers.

description: Technical services in innovative business models are becoming increasingly complex. Thus, comprehensive IT-support is crucial for service delivery. Content for those IT-support systems is captured by modelling relevant service processes. Aside the intangibility and integrativity, services are characterized by the complexity of their structure. So, the traditional modelling approaches executed by modelling experts are challenging. To overcome those challenges, we developed a concept to model service processes at the point-of-service while executing the service itself. The process executer (e. g. the technician) is empowered by smart glasses that do not limit his scope of actions. Additionally, the glasses guide through the (runtime) modelling and allow easy capturing of service processes during the execution. We followed a design science-oriented approach. First, we identified relevant process blocks from literature for runtime modelling (analysis). Afterwards, we built related software components for the process blocks (design). We do so by proposing an implementation and an architecture for a smart glasses-based modelling system. Finally, we evaluated the concept by prototyping and demonstrating the system by means of a real-world service process (evaluation). Our approach tackles challenges on how new technology can enhance the modelling at the point-of-service, which process blocks are relevant and how domain experts can be integrated into the modelling process itself. The practical implications are towards new chances of capturing processes.

description: A systems engineering approach to develop variable nacelle intakes for aero engines in civil aviation is presented. The goal of this methodical approach is to find solutions to design problems that can be successfully utilised in aviation without further effort during the certification. By using variable intakes, aircraft and aero engine manufacturers can fulfil their customers\' needs for safe, efficient and fast travelling. Therefore, a system shall be installed which is able to modify the nacelle intake contour between two extrema. On the one hand, a sharp thin contour, which produces low drag and allows to fly faster or more efficiently, is optimal during cruise condition. On the other hand, a round thick intake lip is necessary to avoid flow separations with the potential to cause dangerous events during take-off and climb conditions. The utilised systems engineering approach is introduced. The executed steps and methods used for creating and evaluating concept variants for variable intakes are displayed particularly. Those contain the determination and evaluation of requirements and functions, as well as the generation and assessment of concepts. Finally yet importantly, following tasks are presented.
