Such building components are meant to have similar load bearing capacity, lower mass and higher performances for energy dissipation compared to those made of homogeneous distributed normal weight concrete. For the specimen preparation of graded concrete samples two production methods were used: casting and dry spraying. The purpose is to understand the relation between the alternation of concrete layers with various densities and the amount of energy absorbed. To evaluate the energy absorption capacity, cubes of equal mass but with different gradation layouts have been tested against uniaxial compression forces. Results show that the compressive strength and the amount of energy absorbed for the tested functionally graded concrete cubes is influenced by the layout design as well as by the production technique.","annote":"","author":[{"family":"Toader","given":"Traian-Nicu"},{"family":"Haase","given":"Walter"},{"family":"Sobek","given":"Werner"}],"citation-label":"toader_energy_2018","collection-editor":[],"collection-title":"","container-author":[],"container-title":"Bulletin of the Polytechnic Institute of Jassy / Constructions, Architecture Section","documents":[],"edition":"","editor":[],"event-date":{"date-parts":[["2018"]],"literal":"2018"},"event-place":"","id":"933e2b9635994f5e5d8129992c775012jmueller","interhash":"d5b022689f5bd4641998f6d029a26d4a","intrahash":"933e2b9635994f5e5d8129992c775012","issue":"4","issued":{"date-parts":[["2018"]],"literal":"2018"},"keyword":"behaviour compression concrete concrete, failure graded lightweight materials, normal sobek test, weight","note":"","number":"4","number-of-pages":"15","page":"9--24","page-first":"9","publisher":"","publisher-place":"","status":"","title":"Energy absorption in functionally graded concrete under compression","type":"article-journal","username":"jmueller","version":"","volume":"64=68"},"0e9dbe076502380e2b8e70a80da95818inspo5":{"DOI":"10.1016/j.actbio.2021.07.066","ISBN":"","ISSN":"","URL":"https://doi.org/10.1016%2Fj.actbio.2021.07.066","abstract":"During growth there are serious changes in the skeletal muscles to compensate for the changed requirements in terms of body weight and size. In this study, the age-dependent (between 21 and 100 days) mechanical and microstructural properties of rabbit soleus muscle tissue were investigated. For this purpose, morphological properties (animal mass, soleus muscle mass, tibial length) were measured at 5 different times during aging. On the other hand, fibre orientation-dependent axial and semi-confined compression experiments were realised. In addition, the essential components (muscle fibres, extracellular matrix, remaining components), dominating the microstructure of muscle tissue, were analysed. While the mechanical results show hardly any age-dependent differences, the morphological and microstructural results show clear age-dependent differences. All morphological parameters increase significantly (animal mass by 839.2%, muscle mass 1050.6%, tibial length 233.6%). In contrast, microstructural parameters change differently. The percentage of fibres (divided into slow-twitch (ST) and fast-twitch (FT) fibres) increases significantly (137.6%), while the proportions of the extracellular matrix and the remaining components (48.2% and 46.1%) decrease. At the same time, the cross-sectional area of the fibres increases significantly (697.9%). The totality of this age-dependent information provides a deeper understanding of age-related changes in muscle structure and function and may contribute to successful development and validation of growth models in the future.\n\nStatement of significance\nThis article reports the first comprehensive data set on age-dependent morphological (animal mass, soleus muscle mass, tibial length), mechanical (axial and semi-confined compression), and microstructural (muscle fibres, extracellular matrix, remaining components) properties of the rabbit soleus muscle. On the one hand, the results of this study contribute to the understanding of muscle mechanics and thus to understanding of load transfer mechanisms inside the muscle tissue during growth. On the other hand, these results are relevant to the fields of constitutive formulation of age-dependent muscle tissue.","annote":"","author":[{"family":"Leichsenring","given":"Kay"},{"family":"Viswanathan","given":"Asha"},{"family":"Kutschke","given":"Steven"},{"family":"Siebert, TobiasBöl","given":"Markus"}],"citation-label":"Leichsenring_2021","collection-editor":[{"family":"Siebert","given":"Tobias"}],"collection-title":"","container-author":[{"family":"Siebert","given":"Tobias"}],"container-title":"Acta Biomaterialia","documents":[],"edition":"","editor":[{"family":"Siebert","given":"Tobias"}],"event-date":{"date-parts":[["2021","oct"]],"literal":"2021"},"event-place":"","id":"0e9dbe076502380e2b8e70a80da95818inspo5","interhash":"6afbb85807dbc73f3599b68ac7ec0018","intrahash":"0e9dbe076502380e2b8e70a80da95818","issue":"","issued":{"date-parts":[["2021","oct"]],"literal":"2021"},"keyword":"Age-dependent Axial Inspo Microstructural Morphometry Oryctolagus Semi-confined Siebert Soleus characteristics compression cuniculus muscle properties tests tissue","misc":{"doi":"10.1016/j.actbio.2021.07.066"},"note":"","number":"","number-of-pages":"12","page":"453--465","page-first":"453","publisher":"Elsevier BV","publisher-place":"","status":"","title":"Age-dependent mechanical and microstructural properties of the rabbit soleus muscle","type":"article-journal","username":"inspo5","version":"","volume":"134"},"9d530f5c074dc9af0e1c475c6ea3ca48inspo5":{"DOI":"10.3389/fphys.2020.601799","ISBN":"","ISSN":"","URL":"https://doi.org/10.3389%2Ffphys.2020.601799","abstract":"","annote":"","author":[{"family":"Ryan","given":"David S."},{"family":"Stutzig","given":"Norman"},{"family":"Helmer","given":"Andreas"},{"family":"Siebert","given":"Tobias"},{"family":"Wakeling","given":"James M."}],"citation-label":"Ryan_2021","collection-editor":[{"family":"Siebert","given":"Tobias"}],"collection-title":"","container-author":[{"family":"Siebert","given":"Tobias"}],"container-title":"Frontiers in Physiology","documents":[],"edition":"","editor":[{"family":"Siebert","given":"Tobias"}],"event-date":{"date-parts":[["2021","jan"]],"literal":"2021"},"event-place":"","id":"9d530f5c074dc9af0e1c475c6ea3ca48inspo5","interhash":"7bc93b91d4afa86288032a24d5ee4708","intrahash":"9d530f5c074dc9af0e1c475c6ea3ca48","issue":"","issued":{"date-parts":[["2021","jan"]],"literal":"2021"},"keyword":"architecture compression contraction dynamics load muscle sonography transverse ultrasound","misc":{"doi":"10.3389/fphys.2020.601799"},"note":"","number":"","page":"","page-first":"","publisher":"Frontiers Media SA","publisher-place":"","status":"","title":"The Effect of Multidirectional Loading on Contractions of the M.

This course has been designed as an ``integrated project'', which means that it combines lectures, seminar talks to be prepared and held by the students, and a programming part. The design goal of this course has been to provide all the necessary theoretical knowledge to understand the concepts behind image compression technologies, such as JPEG2000. We are also aiming at simulating the work-flow as found within an IT company as realistically as possible, preparing electrical engineers and computer scientists as well as possible for their professional life. This training does not only include the technical, but also the social skills required to successfully complete larger projects. The subject of image compression offers the advantage of requiring a solid knowledge on terms of information science such as entropy, distortion, quantization, Fourier and wavelet-transformation, but also offering a direct visual feedback of how these techniques perform. Therefore, we believe that image compression is an attractive topic to be used for a capstone course. Traditionally, a course would assign weekly programming exercises to the students; however, we believe this to be unsuitable for a capstone course as it does not simulate the work-flow of a professional software development team; furthermore, it does not require the degree of team-work we deem critical to modern software development. Thus, we divide students into groups of two to four people and assign each team to one sub-task of an image codec and provide some boiler-plate code of our own. Much to their astonishment, students soon find themselves spending a considerable amount of time with project management and coordination activities. That means, teams have to design interfaces and data structures to combine their efforts to create a working project, which adds an often underestimated social component to the course. With some guidance from the teachers, students have always been able to supply a working code at the end of the semester. Needless to say, the thrill of having a nontrivial working program at the end of the course is a major source of motivation for our students and adds much to the satisfaction and positive feedback we receive.","annote":"","author":[{"family":"Grottke","given":"Sven"},{"family":"Jeschke","given":"Sabina"},{"family":"Richter","given":"Thomas"}],"citation-label":"grottke2007integrated","collection-editor":[],"collection-title":"","container-author":[],"container-title":"CISSE 2007","documents":[],"edition":"","editor":[],"event-date":{"date-parts":[["2007","dec"]],"literal":"2007"},"event-place":"","id":"acc65a5b5aac63106242ee120d222865thomasrichter","interhash":"dc5a74ed2ce76aef126b480c7c3277b1","intrahash":"acc65a5b5aac63106242ee120d222865","issue":"","issued":{"date-parts":[["2007","dec"]],"literal":"2007"},"keyword":"compression image learning myown","note":"","number":"","page":"","page-first":"","publisher":"","publisher-place":"","status":"","title":"An Integrated Course on Wavelet-Based Image Compression - Learning Abstract Information Theory on Visual Data","type":"paper-conference","username":"thomasrichter","version":"","volume":""},"490b2a1a1d27f2c06c1d0e58003eec6cthomasrichter":{"DOI":"10.1109/ICIP.2013.6738076","ISBN":"","ISSN":"","URL":"http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6738076","abstract":"The purpose of full reference image quality indices like Mean Square Error (MSE) or SSIM is to predict the judgement of human observers in subjective quality assessment tasks. More advanced indices like SSIM or VIF are, however, rarely metrics in the strict sense, i.e. they don't define a distance between pairs of images that would describe how far these images are related. It was shown in a recent work, however, that SSIM can be \"integrated\" to such a global metric, in the following called Visual Distance, which behaves locally like SSIM, but globally like a distance in a curved space. It was also seen that the Visual Distance between two images can be interpreted as the number of almost invisible image deformations to transform one image into another. In this work, properties of Visual Distances will be discussed; these results will allow to extend the result from SSIM to its multi-scale variant MS-SSIM. It will also seen that human judgement will typically not define a metric, but it is conjectured that scores and Visual Distances are related by a monotonie Judgement Function. If so, it will be seen that the underlying Visual Distance can always be reconstructed from the scores up to a proportionality factor defined by the scale of the score.","annote":"","author":[{"family":"Richter","given":"Thomas"}],"citation-label":"richter2013global","collection-editor":[],"collection-title":"","container-author":[],"container-title":"IEEE International Conference on Image Processing ICIP 2013","documents":[],"edition":"","editor":[],"event-date":{"date-parts":[["2013","sep"]],"literal":"2013"},"event-place":"Melbourne, Victoria, Australia","id":"490b2a1a1d27f2c06c1d0e58003eec6cthomasrichter","interhash":"5a476c6bb2cb3ebe1884d94be1d8f007","intrahash":"490b2a1a1d27f2c06c1d0e58003eec6c","issue":"","issued":{"date-parts":[["2013","sep"]],"literal":"2013"},"keyword":"compression image myown quality","misc":{"doi":"10.1109/ICIP.2013.6738076"},"note":"","number":"","number-of-pages":"4","page":"369 - 373","page-first":"369","publisher":"IEEE","publisher-place":"Melbourne, Victoria, Australia","status":"","title":"A Global Image Fidelity Metric: Visual Distance and its Properties","type":"paper-conference","username":"thomasrichter","version":"","volume":""},"6d19f20cc1e4c513119e11261962f53dthomasrichter":{"DOI":"","ISBN":"","ISSN":"","URL":"","abstract":"","annote":"","author":[{"family":"Richter","given":"Thomas"},{"family":"Grottke","given":"Sven"},{"family":"Seiler","given":"Ruedi"}],"citation-label":"richter2007faster","collection-editor":[],"collection-title":"","container-author":[],"container-title":"International MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists 2007","documents":[],"edition":"","editor":[],"event-date":{"date-parts":[["2007","apr"]],"literal":"2007"},"event-place":"HongKong","id":"6d19f20cc1e4c513119e11261962f53dthomasrichter","interhash":"93ec1456c98c06c485225e11a908fbf0","intrahash":"6d19f20cc1e4c513119e11261962f53d","issue":"","issued":{"date-parts":[["2007","apr"]],"literal":"2007"},"keyword":"compression image jpeg2000 myown","note":"","number":"","page":"","page-first":"","publisher":"","publisher-place":"HongKong","status":"","title":"Faster JPEG2000 Encoding With Apriori Rate Allocation","type":"paper-conference","username":"thomasrichter","version":"","volume":""},"a9b2f26afb14ada9cd7787114235c2cethomasrichter":{"DOI":"10.1109/QOMEX.2009.5246978","ISBN":"978-1-4244-4370-3","ISSN":"","URL":"http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=5246978","abstract":"Full reference image quality indices assign a quality\r\nindex to a pair of an undistorted reference image and a distorted\r\nimage to be assessed; the quality of the index itself is then defined\r\nby its ability to predict the outcome of subjective tests performed\r\nby human observers judging the quality of the same image pair.\r\nIn this article, a new DeT based image quality index is introduced\r\nwhose complexity is between that of algorithms like SSIM and\r\ncomplex, HVS-based algorithms like VDP.

One application for GPU programming is image compression, where the massively parallel nature of GPUs promises high speed benefits. This article analyzes the predicaments of data-parallel image coding on the example of two high-throughput coding algorithms. The codecs discussed here were designed to answer a call from the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), and require only minimal buffering at encoder and decoder side while avoiding any pixel-based feedback loops limiting the operating frequency of hardware implementations. Comparing CPU and GPU implementations of the codes show that GPU based codes are usually not considerably faster, or perform only with less than ideal rate-distortion performance. Analyzing the details of this result provides theoretical evidence that for any coding engine either parts of the entropy coding and bit-stream build-up must remain serial, or rate-distortion penalties must be paid when offloading all computations on the GPU.","annote":"","author":[{"family":"Richter","given":"T."},{"family":"Simon","given":"S."}],"citation-label":"richter2013comparison","collection-editor":[{"family":"Tescher","given":"Andrew G."}],"collection-title":"","container-author":[{"family":"Tescher","given":"Andrew G."}],"container-title":"Applications of Digital Image Processing XXXVI","documents":[],"edition":"","editor":[{"family":"Tescher","given":"Andrew G."}],"event-date":{"date-parts":[["2013","oct"]],"literal":"2013"},"event-place":"","id":"0fa2e309a2cd7a291449888471514bdfthomasrichter","interhash":"1c214f842d3f6bafc3be0b32e40c4d75","intrahash":"0fa2e309a2cd7a291449888471514bdf","issue":"","issued":{"date-parts":[["2013","oct"]],"literal":"2013"},"keyword":"compression cpu gpu image low-complexity myown","misc":{"isbn":"9780819497062","doi":"10.1117/12.2022398"},"note":"","number":"","page":"14 pages","page-first":"14","publisher":"SPIE","publisher-place":"","status":"","title":"Comparison of CPU and GPU Based Coding on Low-Complexity Algorithms for Display Signals","type":"paper-conference","username":"thomasrichter","version":"","volume":"8856"},"a1f7eccccfcb4a53ea50e231ed54008fthomasrichter":{"DOI":"","ISBN":"","ISSN":"","URL":"","abstract":"We describe the implementation of and our experiences with a capstone course on wavelet based image compression held at the University of Technology Berlin in the years 2002 to 2006. This course has been designed as an ``integrated project'', which means that it combines lectures, seminar talks to be prepared and held by the students, and a programming part. \r\n\r\nThe design goal of this course has been to provide all the necessary theoretical knowledge to understand the concepts behind image compression technologies, such as JPEG2000. We are also aiming at simulating the work-flow as found within an IT company as realistically as possible, preparing electrical engineers and computer scientists as well as possible for their professional life. This training does not only include the technical, but also the social skills required to successfully complete larger projects.\r\n\r\nThe subject of image compression offers the advantage of requiring a solid knowledge on terms of information science such as entropy, distortion, quantization, Fourier and wavelet-transformation, but also offering a direct visual feedback of how these techniques perform. Therefore, we believe that image compression is an attractive topic to be used for a capstone course.\r\n\r\nTraditionally, a course would assign weekly programming exercises to the students; however, we believe this to be unsuitable for a capstone course as it does not simulate the work-flow of a professional software development team; furthermore, it does not require the degree of team-work we deem critical to modern software development. Thus, we divide students into groups of two to four people and assign each team to one sub-task of an image codec and provide some boiler-plate code of our own. Much to their astonishment, students soon find themselves spending a considerable amount of time with project management and coordination activities. That means, teams have to design interfaces and data structures to combine their efforts to create a working project, which adds an often underestimated social component to the course. With some guidance from the teachers, students have always been able to supply a working code at the end of the semester. Needless to say, the thrill of having a nontrivial working program at the end of the course is a major source of motivation for our students and adds much to the satisfaction and positive feedback we receive.","annote":"","author":[{"family":"Grottke","given":"Sven"},{"family":"Richter","given":"Thomas"}],"citation-label":"grottke2007learning","collection-editor":[],"collection-title":"","container-author":[],"container-title":"2007 ASEE annual conference","documents":[],"edition":"","editor":[],"event-date":{"date-parts":[["2007","jun"]],"literal":"2007"},"event-place":"Honolulu, Hawaii","id":"a1f7eccccfcb4a53ea50e231ed54008fthomasrichter","interhash":"1caa0c6de356f97aeda531d7f477dede","intrahash":"a1f7eccccfcb4a53ea50e231ed54008f","issue":"","issued":{"date-parts":[["2007","jun"]],"literal":"2007"},"keyword":"compression design image learing myown wavelet","note":"","number":"","page":"","page-first":"","publisher":"","publisher-place":"Honolulu, Hawaii","status":"","title":"Learning Abstract Information Theory on Visual Data: An Integrated Course on Wavelet-Based Image Compression","type":"paper-conference","username":"thomasrichter","version":"","volume":""},"f2384d59679a892e3b00bdaef89ed8aethomasrichter":{"DOI":"10.1109/DCC.2014.9","ISBN":"","ISSN":"","URL":"http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6824416","abstract":"The issue of backwards compatible image and video coding gained some attention in both MPEG and JPEG, let it be as extension for HEVC, let it be as the JPEG XT standardization initiative of the SC29WG1 committee. The coding systems work all on the principle of a base layer, perating in the low-dynamic range regime, using a one-mapped version of the HDR material as input, and an extension layer invisible to legacy applications. The extension layer allows implementations conforming to the full standard to reconstruct the original image in the high-dynamic range regime. What is also common to all approaches is the rate-allocation problem: How can one split the rate between base and extension layer to ensure optimal coding? In this work, an explicit answer is derived for a simplified model of a two-layer compression system in the high bit-rate approximation. For a HDR to LDR tone mapping that approximates the well-known sRGB non-linearity of gamma = 2.4 and a Laplacian probability density function, explicit results in the form of the Lambert-W-function are derived. The theoretical results are then verified in experiments using a JPEG XT demo implementation.","annote":"","author":[{"family":"Richter","given":"Thomas"}],"citation-label":"richter2014allocation","collection-editor":[],"collection-title":"","container-author":[],"container-title":"Data Compression Conference (DCC), 2014","documents":[],"edition":"","editor":[],"event-date":{"date-parts":[["2014","mar"]],"literal":"2014"},"event-place":"Snowbird, UT","id":"f2384d59679a892e3b00bdaef89ed8aethomasrichter","interhash":"a167e09e56bc18898e351afd1dc39e70","intrahash":"f2384d59679a892e3b00bdaef89ed8ae","issue":"","issued":{"date-parts":[["2014","mar"]],"literal":"2014"},"keyword":"compression image jpeg jpeg-xt myown","misc":{"doi":"10.1109/DCC.2014.9"},"note":"","number":"","number-of-pages":"9","page":"83 - 92","page-first":"83","publisher":"IEEE","publisher-place":"Snowbird, UT","status":"","title":"Rate Allocation in a Two Quantizer Coding System","type":"paper-conference","username":"thomasrichter","version":"","volume":""},"cdc307bfd22fc8d6cb0421d015600449thomasrichter":{"DOI":"10.1109/DCC.2013.96","ISBN":"978-1-4673-6037-1","ISSN":"","URL":"http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/articleDetails.jsp?arnumber=6543127","abstract":"As the resolution of monitors and TVs continue to increase, the available bandwidth between host system and monitor becomes more and more a bottleneck. The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) is currently developing standards for screen resolutions beyond 4K and, facing the problem of not having enough bandwidth available on traditional copper wires, contacted the JPEG to develop a low complexity, high-throughput still image coder for lossy transmission of video signals. This article describes two approaches to address this predicament, a simple SPIHT based coded and a Hadamard based embedded codec requiring only minimal buffering at encoder and decoder side, and avoiding any pixel-based feedback loops limiting the operating frequency of hardware implementations.
