Based on data on the social origin of students, doctoral students, and professors in the long-term cross-section, the article views the empirically observable dynamic of social closure of higher education since the 1950s. The focus of interest is on the level of the professorship. Data show that career conditions for underprivileged groups have deteriorated again. This finding is discussed in the context of social closure theories. The article argues that closure theories consider social closure processes primarily as intentional patterns of action, aimed at a strategic monopolization of participation, and securing social power. Such an analytical approach means that unintended closure processes remain understudied. Our conclusion is that concealed modes of reproduction of social structures ought to be examined and theorized more intensively due to their importance for the elimination of social inequality within universities.}, language = {en} } @techreport{FaixB{\"u}chler2015, author = {Faix, Axel and B{\"u}chler, Jan-Philipp}, title = {Competitive advantage through innovation management}, doi = {10.26205/opus-2145}, url = {https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:dm13-21458}, pages = {10}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Band 1 der Forschungsberichte zum Innovationsmanagement, herausgegeben von der Forschungsgruppe Innovationsexzellenz der Fachhochschule Dortmund (Jan-Philipp B{\"u}chler, Axel Faix, Wolfgang M{\"u}ller)}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Garc{\´i}a Rodr{\´i}guez2023, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Garc{\´i}a Rodr{\´i}guez, Saul}, title = {Design and FPGA implementation of a highly resource-efficient AES-256 encryption and decryption engine}, doi = {10.26205/opus-3747}, url = {https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:dm13-37471}, pages = {263}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Growing demand for security in a wide range of fields gives raise to research for more efficient and modern methods.

Therefore, in this work a design and FPGA implementation of a highly resource-efficient AES-256 encryption and decryption engine is presented, as well as its comparison with state-of-the-art designs. The design shows a reduction in the resources used due to its architecture to reuse hardware throughout all the processing.

An initial introduction of radiation mechanisms and their effects on electronics is given, followed by a brief overview of radiation test standards. The common elements present in FPGAs are discussed, which is followed by details of the GateMate FPGA device and a description of the software design flow. Afterwards, the development of a purpose-built printed circuit board (PCB) for radiation tests with the GateMate FPGA is detailed. Four components of the GateMate have been tested during three radiation campaigns, as well as a benchmark circuit to compare the radiation performance of the GateMate with other FPGAs tested at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The test architecture consists of the device under test (DUT) FPGA and a TESTER FPGA whose task is to provide inputs to the DUT and record its response. The DUT and TESTER designs developed for all tests are discussed in detail. Finally, the results obtained during the irradiation campaigns are presented, showing that the GateMate FPGA performs similarly to other FPGAs using the same process technology. Only the benchmark test was not finalized, as implementation problems prevented its completion in the given time frame. The thesis concludes with a comprehensive summary and outlook.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Koers2024, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Koers, Lars}, title = {Setup of test environments based on a Xilinx Zynq SoC for measuring the leakage current and for radiation qualifcation of SRAM based FPGAs}, doi = {10.26205/opus-3803}, url = {https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:dm13-38039}, pages = {136}, year = {2024}, abstract = {This thesis discusses the development of test environments using Xilinx Zynq System on Chip (SoC) for measuring leakage currents and radiation qualification of Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) based Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) at European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN).

The GateMate FPGAs leakage current is measured in its application area with respect to temperature and core voltages. A comparable testing environment is used from the tester to the tested device, as it will later be used at CERN. The GateMate is being prepared in this setup for the finalization of radiation qualification at CERN, to be transferred later. For this purpose, the basic tests are explained and the outstanding tests are then carried out. The Lattice iCE40 UltraLite FPGA is used in an initial application test to determine its suitability for further radiation qualification tests at CERN.

The model enables the calculation of a compressor's chord Reynold's number during the machine design process. The chord Reynold's number is shown to be the most accurate representation of the fluid dynamic properties inside the radial turbocompressor's impeller. It — however — requires the computation of the chord length, which is only available after defining the final impeller geometry. The method presenting in this paper only employs the compressors principal dimensions to approximate the chord length. The chord is modelled using a B{\´e}zier spline and quarter ellipse.

A Kriging-based surrogate model is trained to approximate the efficiency of any machine designs' best geometry design. The models are implemented into a machine design workflow. As a result, duty-specific Cordier lines are introduced. They are automatically generated for a set of machine design parameters. The efficiency of the designs along the duty-specific Cordier lines is approximated. Using optimization techniques, an optimal compressor design for the given duty on every specific Cordier line may be identified.
