Abstract

In vielen, insbesondere größeren Unternehmen entstehen in kurzen Zeiträumen Terabyte von Daten, bspw. über das Kaufverhalten von Kunden, über Produkte oder über Informationsbedürfnisse. Diese umfangreichen Datenbestände beinhalten wertvolle Information für Entscheider und erfordern die Anwendung von anspruchsvollen mathematisch-statistischen Verfahren zur Datenanalyse. Mit den mathematisch-statistischen Verfahren, die unter Data Mining-Verfahren zusammengefasst werden, sind wertvolle vorverarbeitende aber auch entscheidungsunterstützende Datenanalysen möglich. In diesem Buch wird eine Anwendungsarchitektur für Data Mining entwickelt. Ein wesentlicher Beitrag besteht in der systematischen Aufarbeitung von Data Mining-Verfahren und deren anwendungsbezogene Einordnung in die Data Mining-Anwendungsarchitektur (DMA).

Abstract

Dynamical mechanical analysis is used to investigate the temperature dependent, anisotropic visco-elastic stiffness, damage induced stiffness degradation as well as physical aging of polypropylene and the anisotropic compression molded long fiber reinforced polypropylene. Based on micro-computer tomography data, the approximations of the linear elastic properties using the Mori-Tanaka method are presented.

Abstract

In recent years, the development of biopolymers based on constituents obtained from natural resources has been gaining considerable attention. The utilization of biopolymers to engineer advanced bionanocomposites and hybrid materials is the focus of increasing scientific activity, explained by growing environmental concerns and interest in the novel features and multiple functionalities of these macromolecules.In this Special Issue, we aim to present the current state of the art in research pertaining to biopolymer-based bionanocomposites and hybrid materials, and their advanced applications. Contributions on the processing of biopolymers and bionanocomposites, the use of diverse biopolymer sources such as polysaccharides, the reinforcement of nanosized materials with biopolymers, and applications of these biopolymers, bionanocomposites, and biohybrid materials will constitute the backbone of this Special Issue.

Abstract

Advanced Glasses, Composites and Ceramics for High-Growth Industries (CoACH) was a European Training Network (ETN) project (http://www.coach-etn.eu/) funded by the Horizon 2020 program. CoACH involved multiple actors in the innovation ecosystem for advanced materials, composed of five universities and ten enterprises in seven different European countries. The project studied the next generation of materials that could bring innovation in the healthcare, construction, and energy sectors, among others, from new bioactive glasses for bone implants to eco-friendly cements and new environmentally friendly thermoelectrics for energy conversion. The novel materials developed in the CoACH project pave the way for innovative products, improved cost competitiveness, and positive environmental impact. The present Special Issue contains 14 papers resulting from the CoACH project, showcasing the breadth of materials and processes developed during the project.

Abstract

This book, as a collection of 17 research articles, provides a selection of the most recent advances in the synthesis, characterization, and applications of environmentally friendly and biodegradable biopolymer composites and nanocomposites. Recently, the demand has been growing for a clean and pollution-free environment and an evident target regarding the minimization of fossil fuel usage. Therefore, much attention has been focused on research to replace petroleum-based commodity plastics by biodegradable materials arising from biological and renewable resources. Biopolymers—polymers produced from natural sources either chemically from a biological material or biosynthesized by living organisms—are suitable alternatives for addressing these issues due to their outstanding properties, including good barrier performance, biodegradation ability, and low weight. However, they generally possess poor mechanical properties, a short fatigue life, low chemical resistance, poor long-term durability, and limited processing capability. In order to overcome these deficiencies, biopolymers can be reinforced with fillers or nanofillers (with at least one of their dimensions in the nanometer range). Bionanocomposites are advantageous for a wide range of applications, such as in medicine, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, food packaging, agriculture, forestry, electronics, transport, construction, and many more.

Abstract

The postprandial period is the metabolic phase that directly follows the ingestion of a meal. This period is critical to the handling of nutrients to feed the body throughout the whole day but it is also a time of challenge for the body’s metabolism, which has to be flexible and adaptable regarding the quantity and the quality of the nutrient intake. Changes in postprandial metabolism have been considered to be potential early markers in the pathophysiological course, finally leading to an increased risk of disease development. This book aimed to broaden and add to the research on the importance of postprandial metabolism in nutrition. The book includes literature reviews that cover the broad state of the art of our knowledge about postprandial metabolism, fine original studies of the complex changes in metabolism, and the physiological processes that are considered to drive the onset of pathogenesis. Finally, a series of examples on how nutrient content (especially proteins, sucrose, and lipids) can influence the postprandial metabolism over a wide range of phenomena operating during the postprandial period and how they could contribute to tipping the body towards adverse health processes.

Abstract

Materials from renewable resources have attracted increasing attention in recent decades as a result of environmental concerns and due to the depletion of petroleum resources. Polymeric materials from renewable sources have a long history. They were used in ancient times and later accompanied the development of man and civilization. Currently, they are widespread in many areas of life and used, for example, in packaging and in the automotive, construction and pharmaceutical industries.The aim of this Special Issue is to highlight the progress in the manufacturing, characterization, and applications of environmentally friendly polymeric blends from renewable resources. The following aspects were investigated: (i) synthesis of composites based on natural llers; (ii) chemical modi cation of polymers or fillers in order to improve interfacial interactions; (iii) potential applications of the biobased materials.
