Abstract:

The report is about reducing the Eigen weight of a reach stacker in order to obtain decreased fuel consumption. The detail the product development treats is the telescopic boom. By using steel of higher strength the dimension can be decreased, which in turn results in a reduced weight. Suitable steel for the application might be the high strength structural steel of designation S690QL. With support of calculations and CAD simulations the possible weight reduction is assumed to amount to 28%.

Abstract:

One major approach to weight stigma reduction consists of decreasing beliefs about the personal controllability of—and responsibility for—obesity by educating about its biogenetic causes. Evidence on the efficacy of this approach is mixed, and it remains unclear whether this would create a deterministic view, potentially leading to detrimental side-effects. Two independent studies from Germany using randomized designs with delayed-intervention control groups served to (1) develop and pilot a brief, interactive stigma reduction intervention to educate N = 128 university students on gene × envir

Abstract:

There is currently a lack of safe and effective treatments for obesity. The administration of long acting analogues of satiety gut hormones has been suggested as a potential weight loss pharmacotherapy. The gut hormone oxyntomodulin is a natural dual agonist that generates weight loss by reducing food intake and increasing energy expenditure; effects which are believed to be mediated by the GLP-1 receptor and glucagon receptor respectively. Previously designed long acting oxyntomodulin analogues have limited potency compared to native glucagon and GLP-1, due to the addition of large molecules

Abstract:

Many-objective optimization problems (MaOPs), in which the number of objectives is greater than three, are common in various applications, and have drawn many scholars' attention. Evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) algorithms have been successfully applied to solve bi- and tri-objective optimization problems. However, MaOPs are more challenging compared with the bi- and tri-objective optimization problems. The performances of most existing classical EMO algorithms generally deteriorate over the number of objectives. Thus, this thesis presents a weight design method to modify classi

Abstract:

Standardized parts like hydraulic accumulators are used in nearly every hydraulic system, in many cases even several. Therefore, even small changes in size and weight of accumulators can save considerable material costs. In mobile applications, hydraulic accumulators are used among others in hydro-pneumatic suspension systems. There is a strong focus on miniaturization and weight reduction, as the components always have to be transported with the vehicle. Energy density and energy content of conventional hydraulic accumulators cannot be maximized at the same time. This limitation can be overco

Over the past ten years, there has been increased use of electronic power processing in alternative, sustainable, and distributed energy sources, as well as energy storage systems, transportation systems, and the power grid. Three-phase voltage source converters (VSCs) have become the converter of choice in many ac medium- and high-power applications due to their many advantages, such as high efficiency and fast response. For transportation applications, high power density is the key design target, since increasing power density can reduce fuel consumption and increase the total system efficie

Abstract:

Due to the high dimensionality of most biological data, it is a difficult task to directly analyze, model and visualize the data to gain biological insight. Thus, dimensionality reduction becomes an imperative pre-processing step in analyzing and visualizing high-dimensional biological data. Two major approaches to dimensionality reduction in genomic analysis and biomarker identification studies are: Feature extraction, creating new features by combining existing ones based on a mapping technique; and feature selection, choosing an optimal subset of all features based on an objective function.

Abstract:

The benefits of lighter auto bodies are discussed, and aluminum is compared to steel as an alternative material for auto body construction. The concept of a structural index, lambda, is developed using the simple example of a hollow beam of wall thickness, t, with a cantilever load case. It is shown that the bending stiffness, K, of the beam can be defined as a function of t^lambda, that 1 < lambda < 3, and that lambda can be used to predict the weight savings from material substitution where stiffness is held constant. It is then demonstrated that lambda can be used to predict the weight savi
