Read-across approaches often remain inconclusive as they do not provide sufficient evidence on a common mode of action across the category members. This read-across case study thirteen, structurally similar, branched aliphatic carboxylic acids investigates concept using human-based new approach methods, such in vitro and silico models, to demonstrate biological similarity. Five out thirteen analogues have preclinical vivo studies. Three them induced lipid accumulation or hypertrophy studies...
Precise manufacturing of cold rolled, thin, and narrow metallic strips has become more important for various applications. The overall aim is the reduction thickness tolerances steel copper to an extent less than 1 um. To reach that goal, experimental rolling mill set up in which supplementary piezoelectric stack actuators are integrated. setup machine presented. It contains a real-time system rapid control prototyping using model-based development. enables direct download controller from...
This case study explores the applicability of transcriptome data to characterize a common mechanism action within groups short-chain aliphatic α-, β-, and γ-diketones. Human reference in vivo indicate that α-diketone diacetyl induces bronchiolitis obliterans workers involved preparation microwave popcorn. The other three α-diketones induced inflammatory responses preclinical animal studies, whereas beta gamma diketones addition caused neuronal effects. We investigated early transcriptional...
Abstract This project evaluated the applicability of existing alternative data, such as chemical, biological and metabolite similarity, to improve selection relevant source compound (SC). information was modularly integrated into read‐across (RAX) case studies addressing systemic toxicity after repeated exposure or developmental toxicity. For this purpose, data‐rich reference classes pesticides were defined, with propiconazole iodosulfuron methyl sodium target compounds (TCs). The...

This paper presents the "IRT-Buggy", a model vehicle that is designed as platform for research and education developed at RWTH Aachen University. With two steered front wheels powered rear wheels, it can reach speeds of approx. 45km/h weight slightly over 60kg. The vehicle's non-holonomous 2D kinematics are very comparable to ones typical passenger vehicle. It equipped with sensors in similar form also found vehicles, such wheel speed sensors, inertial GNSS sensor. Throughout development...
In cold rolling, a precise roll gap adjustment is indispensable for manufacturing strips with accurate thickness. This paper proposes linear model predictive controller in rolling mill. As part of an automatic gauge control, the according to incoming strip thickness profile vital. The measurement that buffered, filtered zero-phase and length-based filter converted reference trajectory meet needs controller. Knowing as well actuator dynamics, can adjust disturbances right on time....
In the electrical and medical industries trend towards further miniaturization of devices is accompanied by demand for smaller manufacturing tolerances. Such use a plentitude small narrow cold rolled metal strips with high thickness accuracy. Conventional rolling mills can hardly achieve improvement these However, model-based controller in combination an additional piezoelectric actuator dynamic roll adjustment expected to enable production required tolerance +/-1 µm. The has be based on...
The use of cell-size parameters from oak trees as a powerful proxy for past climate reconstruction needs to be more intensively studied. freeware tool CATS will help pushing these high-volume measurements. In this study, we analyzed the response vessel size chronologies daily meteorological records.

Piezoelectric actuators are used in a variety of technical processes. Due to their ceramic nature, they can be processes where high compressive loads occur. This enables them as for roll gap adjustment cold rolling mill narrow strips. However, local gain is significantly dependent on the current operating point with respect applied voltage and loads. These fluctuations investigated, quantified, modeled this paper within scope operation range actuators. The resulting model develop sliding...
Cold rolling is a process that finishes the production of flat steel and must therefore guarantee high strip precision.
