The volume of program source code created, reused, and maintained worldwide is rapidly increasing, yet code comprehension remains a limiting productivity factor. For developers and maintainers, well known common software design patterns and the abstractions they offer can help support program comprehension. However, manual pattern documentation techniques in code and code-related assets such as comments, documents, or models are not necessarily consistent or dependable and are cost-prohibitive. To address this situation, we propose the Hybrid Design Pattern Detection (HyDPD), a generalized approach for detecting patterns that is programming-language-agnostic and combines graph analysis (GA) and Machine Learning (ML) to automate the detection of design patterns via source code analysis. Our realization demonstrates its feasibility. An evaluation compared each technique and their combination for three common patterns across a set of 75 single pattern Java and C# public sample pattern projects. The GA component was also used to detect the 23 Gang of Four design patterns across 258 sample C# and Java projects as well as in a large Java project. Performance and scalability were measured. The results show the advantages and potential of a hybrid approach for combining GA with artificial neural networks (ANN) for automated design pattern detection, providing compensating advantages such as reduced false negatives and improved F1 scores.

Application of a robotic THz imaging system for sub-surface analysis of ancient human remains
(2019)
We used a robotic-based THz imaging system to investigate the sub-surface structure of an artificially mummified ancient Egyptian human left hand. The results obtained are compared to the results of a conventional CT and a micro-CT scan. Using such a robotic THz system promises new insights into the sub-surface structure of human remains. The depth resolution of the THz images exceeds the resolution of a conventional CT scan and is comparable with a micro-CT scan. The advantage of THz measurements over micro-CT scans is the fact that even comparatively large samples, like complete bodies, can be scanned. These would not fit into a conventional micro-CT scanner.
Although production processes in Industry 4.0 set- tings are highly automated, many complicated tasks, such as machine maintenance, continue to be executed by human workers. While smart factories can provide these workers with some digitalization support via Augmented Reality (AR) devices, these AR tasks depend on many contextual factors, such as live data feeds from machines in view, or current work safety conditions. Although currently feasible, these localized contextual factors are mostly not well-integrated into the global production process, which can result in various problems such as suboptimal task assignment, over-exposure of workers to hazards such as noise or heat, or delays in the production process. Current Business Process Management (BPM) Systems (BPMS) were not particularly designed to consider and integrate context-aware factors during planning and execution. This paper describes the AR-Process Framework (ARPF) for extending a BPMS to support context-integrated modeling and execution of processes with AR tasks in industrial use cases. Our realization shows how the ARPF can be easily integrated with prevalent BPMS. Our evaluation findings from a simulation scenario indicate that ARPF can improve Industry 4.0 processes with regard to AR task execution quality and cost savings.

Die Begriffe künstliche Intelligenz und digitaler Zwilling sind prägende Themen der heutigen Zeit. Zwar beeinflussen beide Themen die Entwicklung der Gesellschaft auf verschiedene Arten und Weisen. Dennoch sind sie als Untersuchungsobjekt schlecht definiert und es herrschen etliche unterschiedliche Verständnisse dieser Begriffe.
Der vorliegende Aufsatz nähert sich dem Begriffen künstliche Intelligenz und digitaler Zwilling durch eine Literaturanalyse, um das Verständnis dieser Begriffe in ihrer Nutzung zu schärfen. Im Anschluss der Begriffsbetrachtung wird für jeden der zwei Begriffe betriebliche Anwendungsbereiche aufgezeigt. Folgend den Einzelbetrachtungen werden mögliche Forschungsrichtungen aufgezeigt und diskutiert.

Wideband-tympanometry (WBT) could give more informative data about the tympanic condition than the conventional tympanometry. In the actual literature, the clinical profit of wideband-tympanometry in pediatric audiological settings is not well evaluated. The aim of this study was to analyze the additional clinical benefit.
Pharmaceutical agents or drugs often have a pronounced impact on protein-protein interactions in cells, and in particular, cell membranes. Changes of molecular conformations as well as of intermolecular interactions may affect dipole-dipole interaction between chromophoric groups, which can be proven by measuring the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). If these chromophores are located within or in close proximity to the plasma membrane, they are excited preferentially by an evanescent electromagnetic wave upon total internal reflection (TIR) of an incident laser beam. For the TIR-FRET screening of larger cell collectives, we performed three separate steps: (1) setting up of a membrane associated test system for probing the interaction between the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and the growth factor receptor-bound protein 2; (2) use of the Epac-SH188 sensor for quantitative evaluation under the microscope; and (3) application of a TIR fluorescence reader to probe the interaction of GFP with Nile Red. In the first two steps, we measured FRET from cyan (CFP) to yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) by spectral analysis and fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) upon illumination of whole cells (epi-illumination) as well as selective illumination of their plasma membranes by TIR. In particular, TIR excitation permitted FRET measurements with high sensitivity and low background. The Epac sensor showed a more rapid response to pharmaceutical agents, e.g., Forskolin or the A2B adenosine receptor agonist NECA, in close proximity to the plasma membrane compared to the cytosol. Finally, FRET from a membrane associated GFP to Nile Red was used to test a multi-well TIR fluorescence reader with simultaneous detection of a larger number of samples.
