[{"abstract":[{"text":"Reputation systems to rate companies’ performances remain largely unexplored inresearch and are scarcely used in business-to-business (B2B) practice. Such systemsare essential for businesses seeking trustworthy partners, as they help reduce infor-mation asymmetry, lower buyers’ transaction risks, and allow high-quality serviceproviders to justify premium pricing. Unlike traditional review-based systems in thebusiness-to-consumer (B2C) context, we propose a B2B reputation mechanism inwhich buyers commit to a rating payment before a transaction. Once the buyer final-izes the rating, this payment is executed and recorded on a blockchain as an immu-table, secure ledger. Our system mimics natural trust-building mechanisms with rat-ings that are (1) monetary-based, (2) stake-based, (3) non-aggregated, (4) involvecounter-ratings, (5) selectively sellable, (6) individually comparable, (7) stored ona blockchain, (8) and monitored by a third instance. This system provides a novelapproach to fostering trust in B2B transactions by reducing information asymme-try and transaction risk. We illustrate the mechanism’s application in the consultingsector. Our analysis has identified 23 institutional trust and distrust dimensions thatpromote establishing institutional trust through the proposed mechanism. Qualita-tive interviews suggest that, while complex and challenging to apply, this mecha-nism can foster trust in B2B transactions. Given the low maturity in the applicationdomain—rating professional business services with business reputation systems—and solution domain—using monetary stakes for ratings, this system stands as apotential invention.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s10257-025-00702-9","has_accepted_license":"1","file":[{"file_name":"Hemmrich_et_al-2025-Information_Systems_and_e-Business_Management.pdf","file_size":1440251,"creator":"hemmrich","date_created":"2025-05-28T08:05:18Z","content_type":"application/pdf","file_id":"60051","access_level":"closed","relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2025-05-28T08:05:18Z","success":1}],"title":"Blockchain‑based reputation systemsfor business‑to‑business services: designing a reputation mechanism to reduce information asymmetry in professional consulting","external_id":{"unknown":["https://doi.org/10.1007/s10257-025-00702-9"]},"main_file_link":[{"url":"https://link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007/s10257-025-00702-9?sharing_token=fOiWqZx_ScKFAKjxu5UqWPe4RwlQNchNByi7wbcMAY6mjxpZFPB3OtpVT0rAZf9eEBt3_qXIVcZ67l3R9JVYasmuCsIimzE-xfP0N5Rimun248j0jFOnL1eBu4rypKSDFnbmR3kJ5xx-HLnCXvPvQPwpm09qOkS9GSNsiG-du60%3D","open_access":"1"}],"keyword":["Information asymmetry","Trust","Reputation system","Monetary rating","Blockchain","Consulting"],"user_id":"83557","oa":"1","type":"journal_article","ddc":["000"],"quality_controlled":"1","publication":"Information Systems and e-Business Management","issue":"1","volume":23,"intvolume":" 23","author":[{"first_name":"Simon","full_name":"Hemmrich, Simon","last_name":"Hemmrich","id":"83557"},{"last_name":"Nissen","first_name":"Volker","full_name":"Nissen, Volker"},{"first_name":"Daniel","full_name":"Beverungen, Daniel","id":"59677","last_name":"Beverungen"},{"last_name":"Pauls","first_name":"Josias Daniel Miño","full_name":"Pauls, Josias Daniel Miño"}],"article_type":"original","department":[{"_id":"195"}],"jel":["D81","D82","L86","L10","M30"],"publication_status":"published","citation":{"short":"S.

Besides high power ultrasound applications like ultrasonic cleaning and ultrasonic welding, which are often not strongly restricted regarding their weight, costs, and construction space, there are many applications in the low to medium power range like handheld surgical instruments, medical inhalers, or ultrasonic cutters. For the latter there is often a strong demand for low weight and construction space and low costs to be competitive in mass production. Another challenge that arises from the RoHS-directive [1] is, that new ultrasonic devices should avoid the use of lead-containing PZT-materials. Against this background there is a demand for lead-free, small and lightweight and cost-effective ultrasonic transducers.\r\nIn many of the above-mentioned applications, pre-stressed Bolted-Langevine-Transducers (BLT) based on lead-containing PZT-materials are established to generate ultrasonic vibrations. These are quite advantageous in many ways and can be built tailored to each application and even for high power of thousands of watts. But due to the required steps during their manufacturing process (machining parts, assembly, pre-stressing, frequency tuning, …), these transducers remain expensive. Furthermore, due to the operation in resonance, the construction space of these transducers is linked to their wavelength and cannot be reduced remarkably.\r\nFor these reasons, our aim is to present an innovative lead-free ultrasonic transducer for low to medium power applications, that is based on bending vibrations instead of longitudinal vibrations. This design enables to build very small transducers. Furthermore, due to their simple construction, these transducers can be built at low manufacturing costs and are well suited for industrial mass production. The use of lead-free piezoelectric materials makes this transducer design ready for future applications.\r\nIn our contribution we will present the model-based design of a lead-free 30 kHz bending transducer for applications up to 10 W. Furthermore, the comprehensive experimental analysis of this transducer-prototype in applications like mist generation or ultrasonic drilling will be presented. The results will be compared to a PZT-based bending transducer and a classical BLT to show the potential and limits of these kind of transducers and lead-free materials.\r\n"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","user_id":"210","citation":{"bibtex":"@inproceedings{Bornmann_Littmann_Scheidemann_Hemsel_2025, title={Innovative lead-free ultrasonic bending transducers for low to medium power applications}, author={Bornmann, Peter and Littmann, Walter and Scheidemann, Claus and Hemsel, Tobias}, year={2025} }","mla":"Bornmann, Peter, et al.

This study investigated the effects of the presence of hosts’ personal decorations and a local welcome gift on eWOM. Perceived anonymity and trust emerge as mediating mechanisms, such that the presence of personal decorations reduced the guest’s perception of anonymity towards the host, which subsequently increased guest’s trust and their intention to spread positive eWOM. The local welcome gift did not show any significant effects.

Ziel ist es, Studierenden eine zeitlich und örtlich flexible Möglichkeit zu bieten, den realitätsnahen Umgang mit Laborgeräten - primär dem Oszilloskop - zu erlernen. Die methodische Grundlage bilden der Makrozyklus von Design-Based Research (DBR) als strukturierender Rahmen und das heuristische Modell des Research Pentagons, das die Durchführung auf Mikroebene bestimmt. In insgesamt vier Research Pentagons werden didaktische, technologische, motivationale und evaluative Komponenten systematisch untersucht und weiterentwickelt. Das erste Pentagon fokussiert die Entwicklung eines didaktisch fundierten Konzepts nach dem Prinzip des Constructive Alignment, das Lernziele, Lernaktivitäten und Prüfungsformen in fünf abgestufte Lernlevel überführt. Diese reichen von der initialen Orientierung bis zur eigenständigen Problemlösung in einem freien Experimentiermodus. Im zweiten Research Pentagon wird die technische Machbarkeit von Augmented - und Virtual Reality (VR) im Laborumfeld anhand mehrerer funktionaler Prototypen evaluiert. Während sich VR aufgrund technischer Einschränkungen als ungeeignet erweist, zeigt AR - insbesondere in der markerlosen Ausführung mittels der Software Development Kits (SDKs) ARCore und ARKit - ein hohes Potenzial für den praktischen Einsatz. Im dritten Pentagon entsteht ein Onboarding-Modul, das auf die erste Version der mobilen App (V0.17.01) aufsetzt und grundlegende Funktionen eines realen Oszilloskops digital abbildet. Dabei werden Nutzer:innen schrittweise an das virtuelle Oszilloskop herangeführt und lernen zugleich die zentralen Funktionen der mAR-App kennen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine insgesamt neutrale bis leicht positive Nutzungserfahrung, wobei technische Schwächen (z.B. Reaktionszeit oder Objektverankerung) die Effizienz und Steuerbarkeit beeinträchtigen. Im Exkurs-Kapitel erfolgt eine Eye-Tracking-Studie zur Untersuchung visueller Aufmerksamkeit und individueller Lösungsstrategien von Expert:innen und Noviz:innen bei der Arbeit am realen Oszilloskop. Heatmaps und Zeitverläufe in definierten Areas of Interest (AOI) liefern erste Hinweise auf Unterschiede im Blickverhalten zwischen den Gruppen. Die algorithmischen Scanpfadanalysen der Blickverläufe hingegen zeigen eine geringe Trennschärfe. Das Potenzial von Eye-Tracking als Evaluationsmethode wird daher kritisch reflektiert, aber angesichts technologischer Entwicklungen und verfügbarer Eye-Tracker in Mixed Reality (MR) Brillen weiterhin als zukunftsrelevant eingeordnet. Die abschließende summative Evaluation nutzt ein Prä‑Post-Test-Design mit Kontrollgruppenvergleich mit 70 Teilnehmenden, um die Lernwirksamkeit der überarbeiteten mAR-App mit klassischen Materialien wie Videos und Handbüchern zu vergleichen. In der Interventionsgruppe (IG) zeigen sich auf kognitiver und affektiver Ebene signifikant positive Veränderungen: Die Leistungen steigen deutlich, insbesondere in den Taxonomiestufen Anwendung, Verständnis und Analyse; zugleich nehmen experimentelles Selbstkonzept und experimentelles Sachinteresse zu, während Überforderung und Ängstlichkeit im Hinblick auf die Laborpraktika abnehmen. Als Einschränkung zeigt sich, dass die mAR-App keinen klaren Vorsprung gegenüber der Kontrollgruppe (KG) erreicht, was sowohl auf die sehr gut ausgearbeiteten Materialien und Videos der KG als auch auf technische Begrenzungen der mobilen Umsetzung zurückzuführen ist: Kleine Displays, 2D-Oberflächen für 3D-Geräte und unpräzise Touch-Interaktionen erschweren komplexe, feinmotorische Aufgaben. In den begleitenden User Interface (UI) und User Experience (UX) Fragebögen spiegeln sich diese Limitationen in gemischten Bewertungen der App wider. Die Arbeit verdeutlicht, dass die mobile AR-Anwendung trotz technischer Einschränkungen wertvolle Möglichkeiten für die Vorbereitung auf Laborpraktika und das Kennenlernen von Laborgeräten bieten kann. Der Fokus bei der Entwicklung liegt von Beginn an auf einer modularen und flexiblen App-Architektur, um sie mit neuen Geräten und Aufgaben zu erweitern. Der Hauptnutzen liegt perspektivisch nicht in der mobilen Anwendung selbst, sondern in der strategischen Ausrichtung auf zukunftsfähige, skalierbare Lösungen für MR-Brillen. Diese erlauben eine authentische Gestensteuerung und realitätsnahe Interaktionen.","lang":"ger"},{"text":"This thesis examines the development, testing, and evaluation of a mobile augmented reality application (mAR app), which is designed as a preparation tool for electrical engineering laboratory courses. The aim is to offer students an opportunity to work with laboratory equipment - primarily the oscilloscope - realistically without location and time constraints. The methodological basis is formed by the macrocycle of design-based research (DBR) as a structured framework and the heuristic model of the research pentagon, which specifies the implementation at the micro level. Didactic, technological, motivational, and evaluative components are systematically examined and further developed in a total of four research pentagons. The first pentagon focuses on the development of a didactically sound concept based on the principle of constructive alignment, which incorporates learning objectives, learning activities, and forms of assessment into five graduated learning levels. These range from initial orientation to independent problem-solving in a free experimentation mode. The second phase evaluates the technical feasibility of augmented and virtual reality (VR) in the laboratory environment using several prototypes. While VR turns out to be unsuitable due to technical limitations, AR - especially in the markerless version using the ARCore and ARKit software development kits (SDKs) - shows great potential for everyday use. In the third research pentagon, an onboarding module is created based on the first version of the mobile app (V0.17.01), which digitally maps the basic functions of a real oscilloscope. During this process, users are introduced to the virtual oscilloscope and become familiar with the main functions of the mAR app. The results show an overall neutral to slightly positive user experience, although technical weaknesses (e.g., reaction time and object fixing) negatively impact efficiency and controllability. In the fourth research pentagon, an eye-tracking study is carried out to investigate visual attention and individual solution strategies of expert and novice users when working with real oscilloscopes. Heatmaps and time sequences in defined areas of interest (AOI) provide first indications of differences in gaze behavior between the groups. The algorithmic scan path analysis, on the other hand, reveals a low degree of differentiation. The potential of eye tracking as an evaluation method is therefore critically reflected, but it is still considered to be relevant for future studies in light of technological advancements and the availability of eye trackers in mixed reality (MR) glasses. The final summative evaluation is carried out in the way of a pre-post test design with 70 participants and compares the usage of traditional materials such as videos and manuals with the improved mAR app. In the intervention group (IG), significant improvements emerge on both cognitive and affective levels: performance increases particularly in the areas of application, understanding, and analysis, while experimental self-concept and subject-related interest rise and feelings of overload and anxiety regarding the lab courses decline. As a limitation, the mAR app does not yield a clear advantage over the control group (CG), which can be attributed both to the highly refined materials and videos used in the CG and to technical constraints inherent to the mobile implementation: small displays, 2D interfaces on 3D devices, and imprecise touch interaction limit complex, sensitive motor tasks. These limitations are also reflected in the accompanying user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) questionnaires, which indicate mixed app ratings. Both groups show significant learning gains - particularly in the areas of application, understanding, and analysis. However, a significant advantage of the mAR App cannot be proven. Affective characteristics such as experimental self-concept and general experimental interests increase in both groups, while the feeling of fear before conducting real laboratory work decreases. The app itself achieves average ratings in user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) questionnaires. The thesis demonstrates that, despite technical limitations, the mobile AR application can provide a valuable alternative for preparing students for laboratory courses and familiarizing them with laboratory equipment. From the very beginning, the primary goal during development was a modular and flexible app architecture that can be extended with new devices, tasks, and functions. The main benefit is not in the mobile application itself, but in the strategic direction of future-oriented and scalable solutions for MR glasses, which allow immersive and realistic gesture interactions.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"14972","citation":{"mla":"Alptekin, Mesut.

EELS) ist eine fortgeschrittene Analysemethode der Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie, die auf atomarer Ebene Einblicke in Materialcharakteristika wie bspw. Eigenschaften des Elektronensystems oder der Materialzusammensetzung erlaubt. Die Genauigkeit jeder EELS-Analyse ist jedoch fundamental durch Rauschen und Unschärfe begrenzt. Diese Thesis beschreibt solche Rauschphänomene im Detail. Vor allem bei strahlempfindlichen Materialien, die kurze Bestrahlzeiten erfordern, aber auch bei Elektron-Materie-Wechselwirkungen mit geringer Auftrittshäufigkeit, ist eine solche Beschreibung notwendig, da das Rauschen solche Messungen dominiert. Zusätzlich spielen Korrelationen des Rauschens eine Rolle, die durch Faltung des verrauschten Signals mit der Punktspreizfunktion des Detektors entstehen und die sowohl theoretisch als auch experimentell beschrieben werden. Methoden zur Messung der wichtigsten Rauschparameter bei typischen Detektorsystemen werden vorgestellt und erlauben es, das Rauschmodel auf jeden beliebigen EELS-Detektor anzupassen. Eine neue Entfaltungsmethode wird vorgeschlagen, die EELS-Messungen schärft und entrauscht. Die Wirksamkeit dieser Methode wird an Simulations- und Experimentaldaten dargelegt. Hierbei wird gezeigt, dass die neue Methode signifikant bessere Ergebnisse liefert, als bisherige und somit eine Analyse von Messdaten auf einem Level ermöglicht, das die Möglichkeiten der Elektronenmikroskopie deutlich erweitert."},{"text":"Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) is an advanced analytical technique in transmission electron microscopy, as it provides insights into material characteristics, such as electronic properties or elemental composition, at the atomic scale. The precision of every EELS analysis, however, is inherently limited by noises and blur. This thesis offers a comprehensive understanding of the noise, which is particularly valuable at low dwell times necessary for beam sensitive materials and for electron-matter interactions with low frequency of occurrence, where the noise dominates the measurement. Additionally, correlations encountered in the noise of an EELS measurement are described from both a theoretical and experimental perspective. These correlations are caused by a convolution of the noisy signal with the detector point spread function. Methods for characterizing key noise parameters of typical detectors are described, allowing the noise model to be tailored to any EELS detector. Ultimately, a novel deconvolution method enabling significant sharpening and denoising of EELS measurements is introduced and demonstrated. Its efficiency is further validated on both simulation and experimental data. The described advancement offered by the proposed deconvolution method enables the extension of current electron microscope capabilities, facilitating analysis that would be unfeasible with existing deconvolution techniques.","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9696-619X","id":"77368","last_name":"Zietlow","full_name":"Zietlow, Christian","first_name":"Christian"}],"title":"A novel Lagrangian-based method for the deconvolution of electron energy-loss spectra"},{"date_created":"2025-12-18T19:03:19Z","publication":"Zeitschrift für angewandte Mathematik und Physik","publisher":"Springer Science and Business Media LLC","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"year":"2025","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0044-2275","1420-9039"]},"type":"journal_article","status":"public","_id":"63250","volume":76,"article_number":"192","issue":"5","date_updated":"2026-04-23T12:20:44Z","title":"Large-data solutions in one-dimensional thermoviscoelasticity involving temperature-dependent viscosities","author":[{"id":"31496","last_name":"Winkler","full_name":"Winkler, Michael","first_name":"Michael"}],"project":[{"name":"FOR 5208: Modellbasierte Bestimmung nichtlinearer Eigenschaften von Piezokeramiken für Leistungsschallanwendungen (NEPTUN)","_id":"245"}],"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Abstract\r\n \r\n An initial-boundary value problem for\r\n \r\n \r\n $$\\begin{aligned} \\left\\{ \\begin{array}{ll}u_{tt} = \\big (\\gamma (\\Theta ) u_{xt}\\big )_x + au_{xx} - \\big (f(\\Theta )\\big )_x, \\qquad & x\\in \\Omega , \\ t>0, \\\\[1mm] \\Theta _t = \\Theta _{xx} + \\gamma (\\Theta ) u_{xt}^2 - f(\\Theta ) u_{xt}, \\qquad & x\\in \\Omega , \\ t>0, \\end{array} \\right. \\end{aligned}$$\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n u\r\n \r\n tt\r\n \r\n \r\n =\r\n \r\n (\r\n \r\n γ\r\n \r\n (\r\n Θ\r\n )\r\n \r\n \r\n u\r\n \r\n xt\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n )\r\n \r\n x\r\n \r\n +\r\n a\r\n \r\n u\r\n \r\n xx\r\n \r\n \r\n -\r\n \r\n (\r\n \r\n f\r\n \r\n (\r\n Θ\r\n )\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n )\r\n \r\n x\r\n \r\n ,\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n x\r\n ∈\r\n Ω\r\n ,\r\n \r\n t\r\n >\r\n 0\r\n ,\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n [\r\n 1\r\n m\r\n m\r\n ]\r\n \r\n \r\n Θ\r\n t\r\n \r\n =\r\n \r\n Θ\r\n \r\n xx\r\n \r\n \r\n +\r\n γ\r\n \r\n (\r\n Θ\r\n )\r\n \r\n \r\n u\r\n \r\n xt\r\n \r\n 2\r\n \r\n -\r\n f\r\n \r\n (\r\n Θ\r\n )\r\n \r\n \r\n u\r\n \r\n xt\r\n \r\n \r\n ,\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n x\r\n ∈\r\n Ω\r\n ,\r\n \r\n t\r\n >\r\n 0\r\n ,\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n is considered in an open bounded real interval\r\n \r\n \r\n $$\\Omega $$\r\n \r\n Ω\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n .

Integrating insights from behavioral economics and human-machine interaction, it examines how cognitive limitations, social preferences, and perceptual biases shape behavior in contexts involving dishonesty, advice-taking, feedback, and self-assessment. Across four controlled economic experiments, the studies show that algorithmic opacity can increase dishonest behavior, user involvement in AI training improves perceptions but not actual adherence to algorithmic advice, real-time feedback in human-in-the-loop systems can unintentionally amplify behavioral biases, and common measures of overconfidence are sensitive to methodological design. The dissertation underscores the need to incorporate realistic behavioral assumptions when designing verification processes, advisory algorithms, and interactive technologies, contributing to a deeper understanding of human decision-making in an increasingly automated world.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.17619/UNIPB/1-2448"},{"volume":2025,"_id":"65537","page":"644-667","issue":"3","date_updated":"2026-04-30T09:32:27Z","publisher":"Universitatsbibliothek der Ruhr-Universitat Bochum","date_created":"2026-04-30T09:31:53Z","publication":"IACR Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems","status":"public","year":"2025","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2569-2925"]},"type":"journal_article","publication_status":"published","user_id":"125442","citation":{"mla":"Arranz-Olmos, Santiago, et al. “Let’s DOIT: Using Intel’s Extended HW/SW Contract for Secure Compilation of Crypto Code.” IACR Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems, vol. 2025, no. 3, Universitatsbibliothek der Ruhr-Universitat Bochum, 2025, pp. 644–67, doi:10.46586/tches.v2025.i3.644-667.","bibtex":"@article{Arranz-Olmos_Barthe_Grégoire_Jancar_Laporte_Oliveira_Schwabe_2025, title={Let’s DOIT: Using Intel’s Extended HW/SW Contract for Secure Compilation of Crypto Code}, volume={2025}, DOI={10.46586/tches.v2025.i3.644-667}, number={3}, journal={IACR Transactions on Cryptographic Hardware and Embedded Systems}, publisher={Universitatsbibliothek der Ruhr-Universitat Bochum}, author={Arranz-Olmos, Santiago and Barthe, Gilles and Grégoire, Benjamin and Jancar, Jan and Laporte, Vincent and Oliveira, Tiago and Schwabe, Peter}, year={2025}, pages={644–667} }","short":"S.

Software following this paradigm is often referred to as “constant-time” software and typically involves following three rules: 1) never branch on a secret-dependent condition, 2) never access memory at a secret-dependent location, and 3) avoid variable-time arithmetic operations on secret data. The third rule requires knowledge about such variable-time arithmetic instructions, or vice versa, which operations are safe to use on secret inputs. For a long time, this knowledge was based on either documentation or microbenchmarks, but critically, there were never any guarantees for future microarchitectures. This changed with the introduction of the data-operand-independent-timing (DOIT) mode on Intel CPUs and, to some extent, the data-independent-timing (DIT) mode on Arm CPUs. Both Intel and Arm document a subset of their respective instruction sets that are intended to leak no information about their inputs through timing, even on future microarchitectures if the CPU is set to run in a dedicated DOIT (or DIT) mode.In this paper, we present a principled solution that leverages DOIT to enable cryptographic software that is future-proof constant-time, in the sense that it ensures that only instructions from the DOIT subset are used to operate on secret data, even during speculative execution after a mispredicted branch or function return location. For this solution, we build on top of existing security type systems in the Jasmin framework for high-assurance cryptography.We then use our solution to evaluate the extent to which existing cryptographic software built to be “constant-time” is already secure in this stricter paradigm implied by DOIT and what the performance impact is to move from constant-time to future-proof constant-time."}],"doi":"10.46586/tches.v2025.i3.644-667","intvolume":" 2025"},{"year":"2025","type":"conference","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"status":"public","publication":"16th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science (ITCS)","date_created":"2024-01-07T20:09:13Z","date_updated":"2026-04-30T14:10:03Z","issue":"85","page":"1-24","_id":"50272","volume":325,"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Despite the fundamental role the Quantum Satisfiability (QSAT) problem has\r\nplayed in quantum complexity theory, a central question remains open: At which\r\nlocal dimension does the complexity of QSAT transition from \"easy\" to \"hard\"?\r\nHere, we study QSAT with each constraint acting on a $k$-dimensional and\r\n$l$-dimensional qudit pair, denoted $(k,l)$-QSAT. Our first main result shows\r\nthat, surprisingly, QSAT on qubits can remain $\\mathsf{QMA}_1$-hard, in that\r\n$(2,5)$-QSAT is $\\mathsf{QMA}_1$-complete. In contrast, $2$-SAT on qubits is\r\nwell-known to be poly-time solvable [Bravyi, 2006]. Our second main result\r\nproves that $(3,d)$-QSAT on the 1D line with $d\\in O(1)$ is also\r\n$\\mathsf{QMA}_1$-hard. Finally, we initiate the study of 1D $(2,d)$-QSAT by\r\ngiving a frustration-free 1D Hamiltonian with a unique, entangled ground state.\r\n Our first result uses a direct embedding, combining a novel clock\r\nconstruction with the 2D circuit-to-Hamiltonian construction of [Gosset, Nagaj,\r\n2013]. Of note is a new simplified and analytic proof for the latter (as\r\nopposed to a partially numeric proof in [GN13]). This exploits Unitary Labelled\r\nGraphs [Bausch, Cubitt, Ozols, 2017] together with a new \"Nullspace Connection\r\nLemma\", allowing us to break low energy analyses into small patches of\r\nprojectors, and to improve the soundness analysis of [GN13] from\r\n$\\Omega(1/T^6)$ to $\\Omega(1/T^2)$, for $T$ the number of gates. Our second\r\nresult goes via black-box reduction: Given an arbitrary 1D Hamiltonian $H$ on\r\n$d'$-dimensional qudits, we show how to embed it into an effective null-space\r\nof a 1D $(3,d)$-QSAT instance, for $d\\in O(1)$. Our approach may be viewed as a\r\nweaker notion of \"simulation\" (\\`a la [Bravyi, Hastings 2017], [Cubitt,\r\nMontanaro, Piddock 2018]).

We prove these high energies can make computing properties of bosonic\r\ncomputations, such as deciding whether a given computation will attain infinite\r\nenergy, extremely difficult, formally undecidable. (2. Lower bounds on\r\ncomputational power) More energy ``='' more computational power. For example,\r\ncertain gate sets allow poly-time bosonic computations to simulate PTOWER, the\r\nset of deterministic computations whose runtime scales as a tower of\r\nexponentials with polynomial height. Even just exponential energy and $O(1)$\r\nmodes suffice to simulate NP, which, importantly, is a setup similar to that of\r\nthe recent bosonic factoring algorithm of [Brenner, Caha, Coiteux-Roy and\r\nKoenig (2024)]. For simpler gate sets, we show an energy hierarchy theorem.

For this reason, there are strong efforts in this area towards greater economic efficiency, which can be achieved, for example, through higher mass throughput with the same machine size, or, with regard to a circular economy, towards material-preserving processing. Both endeavours require special screw concepts. These include wave screws, which should demonstrate advantageous process behaviour in both areas. However, the design of wave screws requires a better understanding of the geometry-dependent process behaviour in extrusion. \r\nTwo topics are addressed in the dissertation. The first topic is the derivation of a method to characterise the degradation behaviour of thermoplastics and the use of the characterisation as a predictive model. The second topic deals with the design of wave screws based on numerical simulations including validation using seven energy transfer screws in comparison to three conventional screws. Among other things, the material degradation, the thermal and the material homogeneity are considered in order to create a comprehensive picture of the process behaviour of the screws.

Additionally, we investigated whether baseline factors that may contribute to reduced exercise tolerance at follow-up can be identified.\r\n \r\n Methods\r\n In this prospective, observational, multicenter study, we recruited German COVID elite-athletes (cEAs, n = 444) and COVID non-elite athletes (cNEAs, n = 481) who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by PCR (polymerase chain reaction test). Athletes from the federal squad with no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection served as healthy controls (EAcon, n = 501). Questionnaires were used to assess load and duration of infectious symptoms, other complaints, exercise tolerance, and duration of training interruption at baseline and at follow-up 6 months after baseline. Diagnostic tests conducted at baseline included resting and exercise electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiography, spirometry, and blood analyses.\r\n \r\n Results\r\n Most acute and infection-related symptoms and other complaints were more prevalent in cNEA than in cEAs. Compared to cEAs, EAcon had a low symptom load. In cNEAs, female athletes had a higher prevalence of complaints such as palpitations, dizziness, chest pain, myalgia, sleeping disturbances, mood swings, and concentration problems compared to male athletes (p < 0.05). Until follow-up, leading symptoms were drop in performance, concentration problems, and dyspnea on exertion. Female athletes had significantly higher prevalence for symptoms until follow-up compared to male. Pathological findings in ECG, echocardiography, and spirometry, attributed to SARS-CoV-2 infection, were rare in infected athletes. Most athletes reported a training interruption between 2 and 4 weeks (cNEAs: 52.9%, cEAs: 52.4%), while more cNEAs (27.1%) compared to cEAs (5.1%) had a training interruption lasting more than 4 weeks (p < 0.001). At follow-up, 13.8% of cNEAs and 9.9% of cEAs (p = 0.24) reported their current exercise tolerance to be under 70% compared to pre-infection state. A persistent loss of exercise tolerance at follow-up was associated with persistent complaints at baseline, female sex, a longer break in training, and age > 38 years. Periodical dichotomization of the data set showed a higher prevalence of infectious symptoms such as cough, sore throat, and coryza in the second phase of the pandemic, while a number of neuropsychiatric symptoms as well as dyspnea on exertion were less frequent in this period.\r\n \r\n Conclusions\r\n Compared to recreational athletes, elite athletes seem to be at lower risk of being or remaining symptomatic after SARS-CoV-2 infection. It remains to be determined whether persistent complaints after SARS-CoV-2 infection without evidence of accompanying organ damage may have a negative impact on further health and career in athletes. Identifying risk factors for an extended recovery period such as female sex and ongoing neuropsychological symptoms could help to identify athletes, who may require a more cautious approach to rebuilding their training regimen.\r\n \r\n Trial Registration Number\r\n DRKS00023717; 06.15.2021—retrospectively registered.\r\n "}],"_id":"50798","date_updated":"2024-01-23T12:48:34Z","publisher":"Springer Science and Business Media LLC","publication":"Sports Medicine","date_created":"2024-01-23T12:47:53Z","status":"public","type":"journal_article","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0112-1642","1179-2035"]},"year":"2024","language":[{"iso":"eng"}]}]
