Satellite communication (SatCom) is facing a spectrum scarcity problem due to the limited available exclusive spectrum and the high demand of the broadband satellite services. In this context, there has been an increasing interest in the satellite community to exploit the non-exclusive Ka-band spectrum in order to enhance the spectral efficiency of future broadband satellite systems. Herein, we propose a novel concept of enabling the spectral coexistence of satellite and terrestrial networks using three dimensional (3D) beamforming, which exploits the elevation dimension in addition to the commonly used azimuth dimension. The proposed beamforming solution is employed in a Multiple-Input Low Noise Block Downconverter (MLNB) based Feed Array Reflector (FAR) in contrast to the widely used Uniform Linear Array (ULA) structure. Within the employed antenna structure, the performance of the proposed beamforming solution is evaluated considering different feed arrangements. Finally, a database-assisted approach and two blind approaches are suggested for the effective implementation of the proposed solutions. [less ▲]

Parkinson's disease (PD)‐specific neurons, grown in standard 2D cultures, typically only display weak endophenotypes. The cultivation of PD patient‐specific neurons, derived from induced pluripotent stem cells carrying the LRRK2‐G2019S mutation, is optimized in 3D microfluidics. The automated image analysis algorithms are implemented to enable pharmacophenomics in disease‐relevant conditions. In contrast to 2D cultures, this 3D approach reveals robust endophenotypes. High‐content imaging data show decreased dopaminergic differentiation and branching complexity, altered mitochondrial morphology, and increased cell death in LRRK2‐G2019S neurons compared to isogenic lines without using stressor agents. Treatment with the LRRK2 inhibitor 2 (Inh2) rescues LRRK2‐G2019S‐dependent dopaminergic phenotypes. Strikingly, a holistic analysis of all studied features shows that the genetic background of the PD patients, and not the LRRK2‐G2019S mutation, constitutes the strongest contribution to the phenotypes. These data support the use of advanced in vitro models for future patient stratification and personalized drug development. [less ▲]

This contribution investigates the tractive performance of different tire treads on granular terrain by an efficient combination of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) and the Finite Element Method (FEM). The proposed coupling method has been shown to be a sufficient technique when resolving the different length scales involved in engineering problems dealing with granular assemblies in contact with deformable bodies [1][2]. Herein, the extended discrete element method (XDEM) is used to describe the dynamics of the granular assembly. Thereby the discrete approach accounts for the motion and forces of each grain individually. On the other hand, the finite element method accurately predicts the deformations and stresses acting within the tire tread. Hence, the simulation domain occupied by the tire is efficiently described as a continuous entity. The coupling of both method is based on the interface shared by the two spatially separated domains. The interface coupling enables to apply a contact model fitting the particular contact behaviour between the grains and the tread surface. Thus, contact forces develop at the interface and propagate into each domain. The coupling method enables to capture both responses simultaneously. Each grain in contact with the tread surface generates a contact force which it reacts on repulsively. The contact forces sum up over the surface and cause the tire tread to deform. The resultant stresses are then again recognised by the granular assembly. The coupling method compensates quite naturally the shortages of both numerical methods. It further employs a fast contact detection algorithm to spare valuable computation time [1]. The proposed DEM-FEM Coupling technique was employed to study the tractive performance of four different tire treads on a soil layer of the material sand. The simulations were conducted in accordance to the experimental measurements undertaken by Shinone et al. [3]. The contact forces at the surface of smooth, lug, rib and block tread patterns are captured by 3D simulations of different slip values of each tire tread. The simulation results are used to analyse the gross tractive effort, running resistance and drawbar pull of the different tread patterns in sand. [less ▲]
