Scanline observation is known to introduce an angular bias into the probability distribution of orientation in three-dimensional space. In this paper, numerical solutions expressing the functional relationship between the scanline-observational distribution (in one-dimensional space) and the inherent distribution (in three-dimensional space) are derived using probability theory and calculus und...

Two parallelized hybrid methods are presented for single-function optimization problems with side constraints. The optimization problems are difficult not only due to possible existence of local minima and nonsmoothness of functions, but also due to the fact that objective function and constraint values for a solution vector can only be obtained by querying a black box whose execution requires ...

Die schnelle Inbetriebnahme von Rechnern, die flexible Nutzung von Maschinen mit verschiedenen Betriebssystemen und Softwareausstattungen sind selbst nach vielen Jahren noch nicht optimal gelöst. Hierfür bietet ein netzwerkbasierter Service mit einer breiten Auswahl zu startender Systeme und Installationsassistenten Abhilfe. Schnelle Datennetze, ein kompaktes Quickstart-OS auf Linux-Basis, ein ...

The aim of the LeMO project was to create a multimedia information system on 20th century German history in the Internet. This work was carried out in a joint project by the German Historical Museum in Berlin, the Haus der Geschichte of the Federal Republic of Germany in Bonn and the Fraunhofer Institute for Software and Systems Engineering ISST in Berlin. The LeMO system provides various optio...

Structural and topological information play a key role in modeling of flow through fractured rock. Discrete fracture network (DFN) computational suites such as dfnWorks [23] are designed to simulate flow and transport in such media. Transport calculations that use a particle tracking method reveal that a small backbone of fractures exists where most transport occurs providing a significant redu...
