We study the dynamics of a quantum two-state system driven through an avoided crossing under the influence of a super-Ohmic environment. We determine the Landau–Zener probability employing the numerical exact quasi-adiabatic path integral and a Markovian weak coupling approach. Increasing the driving time in the numerical protocol, we find converged results which shows that super-Ohmic environments only influence the Landau Zener probability within a finite crossing time window. This crossing time is qualitatively determined by the environmental cut-off energy. At weak coupling, we show that the Markovian weak coupling approach provides an accurate description. Since pure dephasing of a super-Ohmic bath is non-Markovian, this highlights that pure dephasing hardly influences the Landau–Zener probability. The finite crossing time window, thus, results from the suppression of relaxation once the energy splitting exceeds the environmental cut-off energy.
A quantum two-level system immersed in a sub-Ohmic bath experiences enhanced low-frequency quantum statistical fluctuations which render the nonequilibrium quantum dynamics highly non-Markovian. Upon using the numerically exact time-evolving matrix product operator approach, we investigate the phase diagram of the polarization dynamics. In addition to the known phases of damped coherent oscillatory dynamics and overdamped decay, we identify a new third region in the phase diagram for strong coupling showing an aperiodic behavior. We determine the corresponding phase boundaries. The dynamics of the quantum two-state system herein is not coherent by itself but slaved to the oscillatory bath dynamics.
The development of deep learning-based optical chemical structure recognition (OCSR) systems has led to a need for datasets of chemical structure depictions. The diversity of the features in the training data is an important factor for the generation of deep learning systems that generalise well and are not overfit to a specific type of input. In the case of chemical structure depictions, these features are defined by the depiction parameters such as bond length, line thickness, label font style and many others. Here we present RanDepict, a toolkit for the creation of diverse sets of chemical structure depictions. The diversity of the image features is generated by making use of all available depiction parameters in the depiction functionalities of the CDK, RDKit, and Indigo. Furthermore, there is the option to enhance and augment the image with features such as curved arrows, chemical labels around the structure, or other kinds of distortions. Using depiction feature fingerprints, RanDepict ensures diversely picked image features. Here, the depiction and augmentation features are summarised in binary vectors and the MaxMin algorithm is used to pick diverse samples out of all valid options. By making all resources described herein publicly available, we hope to contribute to the development of deep learning-based OCSR systems.
BIM-Daten sind vielfältig und entstehen an unterschiedlichen Zeitpunkten im Bauprojekt. Das Verständnis und der Umgang mit diesen Daten sind wesentliche Merkmale der BIM-Methodik.
Für den Anwender ist dabei nicht immer sofort klar, wie und in welcher Detailtiefe Bauwerksinformationen – über die reine Geometrie hinaus – bereitgestellt werden müssen.
In diesem Buch werden die Modelle und Formate vor-
gestellt. Dabei werden insbesondere die Attribute und Eigenschaften der BIM-Objekte betrachtet.
Die Nutzung der Daten und das dazugehörige Datenmanagement werden anschaulich erklärt. Praktische Tipps zur richtigen Softwareauswahl schließen das Buch ab.
Zentrale Raumlufttechnische Anlagen (RLT-Anlagen) sind für Betriebszeiten von fünfzehn und mehr Jahren konzipiert. Nicht selten werden die Geräte auch nach 25 Jahren Dank Retrofit weiterbetrieben. Unberücksichtigt bleibt dabei, ob die zukünftigen, klimatischen Bedingungen noch der Auslegung entsprechen. Zur Überprüfung der klimatischen Änderungen können sogenannte Testreferenzjahre (TRY – Test Reference Year) genutzt werden. Diese basieren für die heutige Auslegung auf den lokalen, stündlichen Wetterbedingungen im Bezugsjahr 2012 und zusätzlich auf modellbasierten Wetterdaten für das Bezugsjahr 2045.
Das Zentralluftgerät einer Krankenhaus-Intensivstation wurde für die 15 Wetter¬stationen der VDI 4710, Blatt 3 in Deutschland auf die Leistungsanforderungen von heute und für das Jahr 2045 untersucht. Zusätzlich wurden für den Standort Berlin die aktuellen Wetteraufzeichnungen im Sommer 2020 betrachtet. Daraus lassen sich Rückschlüsse ziehen, wie sich städtische Wärmeinseln (UHI – Urban Heat Islands) zukünftig auf den Energie- und Leistungsbedarf zur Gebäudeklimatisierung auswirken werden.
Die Auswirkungen auf die Wärme- und Kältespitzenleistung sowie der kumulierte Energiebedarf werden genauso analysiert wie der Befeuchtungsbedarf. Hieraus lassen sich die potenziellen Leistungsreserven abschätzen und die Klimaresilienz der Anlagentechnik bewerten.
The concept of molecular scaffolds as defining core structures of organic molecules is utilised in many areas of chemistry and cheminformatics, e.g. drug design, chemical classification, or the analysis of high-throughput screening data. Here, we present Scaffold Generator, a comprehensive open library for the generation, handling, and display of molecular scaffolds, scaffold trees and networks. The new library is based on the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) and highly customisable through multiple settings, e.g. five different structural framework definitions are available. For display of scaffold hierarchies, the open GraphStream Java library is utilised. Performance snapshots with natural products (NP) from the COCONUT (COlleCtion of Open Natural prodUcTs) database and drug molecules from DrugBank are reported. The generation of a scaffold network from more than 450,000 NP can be achieved within a single day.
This chapter describes a new concept and experiences of a distributed interdisciplinary learning program for students across continents. The aim is to provide students with a truly Global Intercultural Project Experience (GIPE) by working together with peers from around the world and solving real-life client’s problems. We have received seed-funding for four annual projects to engage students from Germany (Europe), Namibia (Africa), Indonesia (Asia), and Peru (South America). In 2020 and 2021, 28 and 44 students from four continents engaged in a one-semester distributed interdisciplinary project for a Namibian and Indonesian client, respectively. Despite Covid-19 they successfully completed the project expressing deep appreciation for the learning opportunities overcoming challenges of working across widespread time zones, cultures, changing requirements, and various technical difficulties. Considering the vast learning benefits, we suggest incorporating such projects in all tertiary education curricula across the globe, while streamlining organizational efforts based on lessons learned.

Air Handling units (AHU) are designed to guarantee a high indoor air quality for any time and outdoor condition all over the year. To do so, the AHU removes particle matter like dust or pollen and adapts the thermophysical properties of air to the desired, seasonal indoor comfort conditions. AHU have a robust design and thus operate for more than fifteen years, sometimes even for decades. An AHU designed today must consider and anticipate the change of user needs as well as outdoor air conditions for the next twenty years. To anticipate the outdoor air condition of coming decades, scientific models exist, which allow the design of peak performance and capacities of the air treatment components. It is most likely, that the ongoing climate change will lead to higher temperatures as well as higher humidity, while the comfort zone of human beings will remain at today’s values. Next to the impact of global warming with average rise of mean air temperature local effects will influence the operation of AHU. On effect investigated here is the steep temperature increase in city centres called urban heat islands. Heating and cooling capacities as well as water consumption for humidification are investigated for a reference AHU for fifteen regional locations in Germany. These regions represent all climate zones within the country. Additionally, the urban heat island effect was investigated for Berlin Alexanderplatz compared a rural area close by. The AHU was chosen to operate in an intensive care unit of a hospital. The set-up leads to 24/7 operation with 8760 hours per year. The article presents the modelling of current and future weather data as well as the unit set up. The calculated hourly performance and capacity parameters for current (reference year 2012) and future weather data (reference year 2045) yield energy consumption and peak loads of the unit for heating, cooling and humidification. The results are displayed by relative comparisons of each performance value.
Media Brand Management
(2022)
The management of media brands faces challenges. In order to be able to point out possible solutions, this article first explains the concept and the nature of “media brands.” Subsequently, various theoretical approaches to the explanation of media brands and their management are presented. Regardless of theoretical preferences, it is important to keep in mind the brand-strategic complexity of media management that is subsequently described. Due to their specificity, special attention is paid to the basic strategic positioning options and to the communication management of media brands. In this way, the special features of media brand management become clear in comparison with other products and services.
