Adaptive process control in rubber industry
(1998)
-
Rüdiger W. Brause

- This paper describes the problems and an adaptive solution for process control in rubber industry. We show that the human and economical benefits of an adaptive solution for the approximation of process parameters are very attractive. The modeling of the industrial problem is done by the means of artificial neural networks. For the example of the extrusion of a rubber profile in tire production our method shows good results even using only a few training samples.

Versungen und vertan? : Rückblicke auf 40 Jahre DDR-Literatur und Geschichtsschreibung der DDR-Literatur
(1998)
-
Wolfgang Emmerich
- 1981 erschien eine erste Fassung meiner Kleinen Literaturgeschichte der DDR, eine zweite, stark erweiterte und bis an den Herbst 1988 heranreichende Ausgabe im Frühjahr 1989. Die seit dem Frühjahr 1996 vorliegende dritte Fassung zeigt, daß sich mein Blick auf vierzig und mehr Jahre DDR und DDR-Literatur nicht unbeträchtlich verändert hat. Anders als die (wenigen) Forscherkollegen, die sich nicht zu korrigieren brauchten, anders vor allem als die große Zahl derer, die sich nicht korrigieren wollten und schnurstracks zu einer neuen Tagesordnung übergingen, als ob nichts gewesen wäre, fand ich Anlaß zu einer ganzen Reihe von Korrekturen. Bei aller Kritik hatte ich dem Staat DDR und seinen offiziellen kulturellen Hervorbringungen immerhin einigen Kredit eingeräumt. Die Loyalitätsfalle Antifaschismus und die Sehnsucht nach einem wahren Sozialismus waren wohl die entscheidenden Gründe dafür. Sigmund Freud umreißt den therapeutischen Prozeß der Psychoanalyse bekanntlich mit dem Dreischritt 'Erinnern, Wiederholen und Durcharbeiten', und dazu gehören, wie man weiß, auch Mühen und Schmerzen. Mir schien es so, daß es unausweichlich sei - mit dem Motto von Freud - , den Weg von der Mythologisierung zur Historisierung der DDR-Literatur zu gehen. Die nachstehenden Blicke zurück - ohne Zorn, aber doch kritisch und mit je einer Prise Selbstironie und Trauer versehen, versuchen es.

Learning a lexicalized grammar for German
(1998)
-
Sandra Kübler
- In syntax, the trend nowadays is towards lexicalized grammar formalisms. It is now widely accepted that dividing words into wordclasses may serve as a laborsaving mechanism - but at the same time, it discards all detailed information on the idiosyncratic behavior of words. And that is exactly the type of information that may be necessary in order to parse a sentence. For learning approaches, however, lexicalized grammars represent a challenge for the very reason that they include so much detailed and specific information, which is difficult to learn. This paper will present an algorithm for learning a link grammar of German. The problem of data sparseness is tackled by using all the available information from partial parses as well as from an existing grammar fragment and a tagger. This is a report about work in progress so there are no representative results available yet.

A hierarchy of local TDGs
(1998)
-
Laura Kallmeyer
- Many recent variants of Tree Adoining Grammars (TAG) allow an underspecifiaction of the parent relation between nodes in a tree, i.e. they do not deal with fully specified trees as it is the case with TAGs.Such TAG variants are for example Description Tree Grammars (DTG), Unordered Vector Grammars with Dominance Links (UVG-DL), a definition of TAGs via so-called quasi trees and Tree Description Grammars (TDG. The last TAg variant, local TDG, is an extension of TAG generating Tree Descriptions. Local TDGs even allow an underspecification of the dominance relation between node names and thereby provide the possibility to generate underspecified representations for structural ambiguities such as quantifier scope ambiguities. This abstract deals with formal properties of local TDGs. A hierarchiy of local TDGs is established together with a pumping lemma for local TDGs of a certain rank.

- We study the transverse expansion in central Pb+Pb collisions at the CERN SPS. Strong collective motion of hadrons can be created. This flow is mainly due to meson baryon rescattering. It allows to study the angular distribution of intermediate mass meson baryon interactions.

Intermediate mass excess of dilepton production in heavy ion collisions at BEVALAC energies

- Dielectron mass spectra are examined for various nuclear reactions recently measured by the DLS collaboration. A detailed description is given of all dilepton channels included in the transport model UrQMD 1.0, i.e. Dalitz decays of π, η, ω, ή mesons and of the (1232) resonance, direct decays of vector mesons and pn bremsstrahlung. The microscopic calculations reproduce data for light systems fairly well, but tend to underestimate the data in pp at high energies and in pd at low energies. These conventional sources, however, cannot explain the recently reported enhancement for nucleus-nucleus collisions in the mass region 0.15GeV ≤ Me+e- ≤ 0.6GeV. Chiral scaling and ω meson broadening in the medium are investigated as a source of this mass excess. They also cannot explain the recent DLS data.

Nuclear shadowing effects on prompt photons at RHIC and LHC

- The transverse momentum distribution of prompt photons coming from the very early phase of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions for the RHIC and LHC energies is calculated by means of perturbative QCD. We calculate the single photon cross section (A + B -> gamma + X) by taking into account the partonic sub processes q + q -> gamma + g and q + g -> gamma + q as well as the Bremsstrahlung corrections to those processes. We choose a lower momentum cut-off k0 = 2 GeV separating the soft physics from perturbative QCD. We compare the results for those primary collisions with the photons produced in reactions of the thermalized secondary particles, which are calculated within scaling hydrodynamics. The QCD processes are taken in leading order. Nuclear shadowing corrections, which alter the involved nuclear structure functions are explicitly taken into account and compared to unshadowed results. Employing the GRV parton distribution parametrizations we find that at RHIC prompt QCD-photons dominate over the thermal radiation down to transverse momenta kT ≈ 2 GeV. At LHC, however, thermal radiation from the QGP dominates for photon transverse momenta kT ≤ 5 GeV, if nuclear shadowing effects on prompt photon production are taken into account.

- A self-consistent relativistic Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck equation for the N (1440) resonance is developed based on an effective Lagrangian of baryons interacting through mesons. The equation is consistent with that of nucleon s and delta s which we derived before. Thus, we obtain a set of coupled equations for the N, Delta and N (1440) distribution functions. All the N (1440)-relevant in-medium two-body scattering cross sections within the N, Delta and N (1440) system are derived from the same effective Lagrangian in addition to the mean field and presented analytically. Medium effects on the cross sections are discussed.

Self-consistent relativistic quantum transport theory of hadronic matter : the coupled nucleon, delta and pion system

- We derive the self-consistent relativistic quantum transport equation for the pion distribution function based on an effective Lagrangian of the QHD-II model. The closed time-path Green's function technique, the semi-classical, quasi-particle and Born approximation are employed in the derivation. Both the mean field and collision term are derived from the same Lagrangian and presented analytically. The dynamical equation for the pions is consistent with that for the nucleons and deltas which we developed before. Thus, we obtain a self-consistent relativistic transport model which describes the hadronic matter with N, Delta and pi degrees of freedom simultaneously. Within this approach, we investigate the medium effects on the pion dispersion relation as well as the pion absorption and pion production channels in cold nuclear matter. In contrast to the results of the non-relativistic model, the pion dispersion relation becomes harder at low momenta and softer at high momenta as compared to the free one. The theoretically predicted free pi N to Delta cross section is in agreement with the experimental data. Medium effects on the pi N to Delta cross section and momentum-dependent Delta-decay width are shown to be substantial.
