Trunz, Elena (author), Klein, Jonathan (author), Müller, Jan (author), Bode, Lukas (author), Sarlette, Ralf (author), Weinmann, M. (author), Klein, Reinhard (author)We investigate the capabilities of neural inverse procedural modeling to infer high-quality procedural yarn models with fiber-level details from single images of depicted yarn samples. While directly inferring all parameters of the underlying yarn model based on a single neural network may seem an intuitive choice, we show that the complexity...journal article 2024

Schmidt, H.S. (author), Leschinger, Valentin (author), Müller, Florian J.Y. (author), de Vries, G. (author), Renes, Reint Jan (author), Schmehl, R. (author), Hübner, Gundula (author)Airborne wind energy (AWE) is an emerging renewable energy technology that uses kites to harvest winds at higher altitudes than wind turbines. Understanding how residents experience a local AWE system (AWES) is important as the technology approaches commercialization. Such knowledge can help adjust the design and deployment of an AWES to fit...journal article 2024

(author), Wimmler, Marie Christin (author), Grimm, Volker (author)Despite the increasing use of standards for documenting and testing agent-based models (ABMs) and sharing of open access code, most ABMs are still developed from scratch. This is not only inefficient, but also leads to ad hoc and often inconsistent implementations of the same theories in computational code and delays progress in the...journal article 2024

(author), Moser, Manuel (author), Müller, Hanno (author), Wendisch, Manfred (author)Arctic air masses undergo intense transformations when moving southward from closed sea ice to warmer open waters in marine cold-Air outbreaks (CAOs). Due to the lack of measurements of diabatic heating and moisture uptake rates along CAO flows, studies often depend on atmospheric reanalysis output.

(author), van Halem, D. (author), Laureni, M. (author)Nitrate leaching from agricultural soils is increasingly found in groundwater, a primary source of drinking water worldwide. This nitrate influx can potentially stimulate the biological oxidation of iron in anoxic groundwater reservoirs.

de Kater, E.P. (author), Müller, R. (author), Sakes, A. (author), Breedveld, P. (author)The fixation strength of pedicle screws could be increased by fixating along the much stronger cortical bone layer, which is not possible with the current rigid and straight bone drills. Inspired by the tsetse fly, a single-plane steerable bone drill was developed. The drill has a flexible transmission using two stacked leaf springs such that...journal article 2023
