Flexibles Referenzmodell zur Planung und Optimierung der Produktion (Teil 2)
Get PDFIn dem ersten Teil dieses Beitrags, welcher in der Industrie 4.0 Management Ausgabe 5/2021 erschienen ist, wurde das Referenzmodell bereits in seinen wesentlichen Grundzügen erläutert [1]. Im zweiten Teil soll die Weiterentwicklung zu einem flexiblen Referenzmodell aufgezeigt werden. Der Fokus liegt auf die Implementierung von weiteren Planungstools, und die Implementierung von KI-Tools zur Erreichung eines dynamischen Produktionsengineerings in Form einer ganzheitlichen und integrierten Fabrikplanung

Purification and characterization of a fungal aspartic peptidase from Trichoderma reesei and its application for food and animal feed protein hydrolyses
No full textBACKGROUND
Various neutral and alkaline peptidases are commercially available for use in protein hydrolysis under neutral to alkaline conditions. However, the hydrolysis of proteins under acidic conditions by applying fungal aspartic peptidases (FAPs) has not been investigated in depth so far. The aim of this study, thus, was to purify a FAP from the commercial enzyme preparation, ROHALASE® BXL, determine its biochemical characteristics, and investigate its application for the hydrolysis of food and animal feed proteins under acidic conditions.
RESULTS
A Trichoderma reesei derived FAP, with an apparent molecular mass of 45.8 kDa (sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; SDS-PAGE) was purified 13.8-fold with a yield of 37% from ROHALASE® BXL. The FAP was identified as an aspartate protease (UniProt ID: G0R8T0) by inhibition and nano-LC-ESI-MS/MS studies. The FAP showed the highest activity at 50°C and pH 4.0. Monovalent cations, organic solvents, and reducing agents were tolerated well by the FAP. The FAP underwent an apparent competitive product inhibition by soy protein hydrolysate and whey protein hydrolysate with apparent Ki-values of 1.75 and 30.2 mg*mL−1, respectively. The FAP showed promising results in food (soy protein isolate and whey protein isolate) and animal feed protein hydrolyses. For the latter, an increase in the soluble protein content of 109% was noted after 30 min.
CONCLUSION
Our results demonstrate the applicability of fungal aspartic endopeptidases in the food and animal feed industry. Efficient protein hydrolysis of industrially relevant substrates such as acidic whey or animal feed proteins could be conducted by applying fungal aspartic peptidases. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry
Deep-Learning-based Vulnerability Detection in Binary Executables
No full textThe identification of vulnerabilities is an important element in the software development life cycle to ensure the security of software. While vulnerability identification based on the source code is a well studied field, the identification of vulnerabilities on basis of a binary executable without the corresponding source code is more challenging. Recent research has shown, how such detection can be achieved by deep learning methods. However, that particular approach is limited to the identification of only 4 types of vulnerabilities. Subsequently, we analyze to what extent we could cover the identification of a larger variety of vulnerabilities. Therefore, a supervised deep learning approach using recurrent neural networks for the application of vulnerability detection based on binary executables is used. The underlying basis is a dataset with 50,651 samples of vulnerable code in the form of a standardized LLVM Intermediate Representation. The vectorised features of a Word2Vec model are used to train different variations of three basic architectures of recurrent neural networks (GRU, LSTM, SRNN). A binary classification was established for detecting the presence of an arbitrary vulnerability, and a multi-class model was trained for the identification of the exact vulnerability, which achieved an out-of-sample accuracy of 88% and 77%, respectively. Differences in the detection of different vulnerabilities were also observed, with non-vulnerable samples being detected with a particularly high precision of over 98%. Thus, the methodology presented allows an accurate detection of 23 (compared to 4) vulnerabilities
Total cost of ownership analysis of battery electric buses for public transport system in a small to midsize city
Get PDFThe sharp rise in electricity and oil prices due to the war in Ukraine has caused fluctuations in the results of the previous study about the economic analysis of electric buses. This paper shows how the increase in fuel prices affects the implementation of electric buses. This publication is constructing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model in the small-mid-size city, Offenburg for the transition to electric buses. The future development of costs is estimated and a projection based on learning curves will be carried out. This study intends to introduce a new future prospect by presenting the latest data based on previous research. Through the new TCO result, the cost differences between the existing diesel bus and the electric bus are updated, and also the future prospects for the economic feasibility of the electric bus in a small and midsize city are presented
A Type-Directed, Dictionary-Passing Translation of Featherweight Generic Go
No full textFeatherweight Generic Go (FGG) is a minimal core calculus modeling the essential features of the programming language Go. It includes support for overloaded methods, interface types, structural subtyping and generics. The most straightforward semantic description of the dynamic behavior of FGG programs is to resolve method calls based on runtime type information of the receiver.
This article shows a different approach by defining a type-directed translation from FGG to an untyped lambda-calculus. The translation of an FGG program provides evidence for the availability of methods as additional dictionary parameters, similar to the dictionary-passing approach known from Haskell type classes. Then, method calls can be resolved by a simple lookup of the method definition in the dictionary.
Every program in the image of the translation has the same dynamic semantics as its source FGG program. The proof of this result is based on a syntactic, step-indexed logical relation. The step-index ensures a well-founded definition of the relation in the presence of recursive interface types and recursive methods
Effects of Conventional UPS vs Smart Energy Metering Solution on Harmonics and Grid Stability for Low Voltage Consumers in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Pakistan
No full textTo deal with frequent power outages in developing countries, people turn to solutions like uninterruptible power supply (UPS), which stores electric energy during normal operating hours and use it to meet energy needs during rolling blackout intervals. Locally produced UPSs of poorer power quality are widely accessible in the marketplaces, and they have a negative impact on power quality. The charging and discharging of the batteries in these UPSs generate significant amount of power losses in weak grid environments. The Smart-UPS is our proposed smart energy metering (SEM) solution for low voltage consumers that is provided by the distribution company. It does not require batteries, therefore there is no power loss or harmonic distortion due to corresponding charging and discharging. Through load flow and harmonic analysis of both traditional UPS and Smart-UPS systems on ETAP, this paper examines their impact on the harmonics and stability of the distribution grid. The simulation results demonstrate that Smart-UPS can assist fixing power quality issues in a developing country like Pakistan by providing cleaner energy than the battery-operated traditional UPSs
Fundamentals for the creation of a thermal model for the heat flow of an air-cooled reciprocating engine to the ambient
No full textThe present document is aimed to propose a suitable thermal model for the cooling down process of a one piston air cooled reciprocating compressor. In order to achieve this, a thermographic camera is used to record the temperature of different measuring points throughout different operating conditions. This data is later analyzed, with statistical tools and graphical visualization. The thermal phenomena present in the thermal process is characterized according to the compressors' geometry. Finally, using the analysis and taking into consideration the thermal phenomena the optimal thermal model is selected. This paper belongs to a bigger project and the last step is to simulate the compressor and the accuracy of the proposed model
