Produktion ohne starre Pläne
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2016/1/26 0:19)
|
Industrie 4.0 ist in aller Munde. Doch wie sich eine hochgradig flexible Produktion zu den Kosten und mit dem Tempo einer Linienfertigung erreichen lässt, darüber gehen die Meinungen auseinander. Die Lösung der Fraunhofer-Forscher: Sie organisieren eine Produktion ohne starre Pläne und feste Verkettungen, die das menschliche Koordinations- und Entscheidungsvermögen zu einem zentralen Bestandteil der Ablaufsteuerung macht. Wie das geht, zeigen die Forscher auf der Hannover Messe 2016?die Preview am 27. Januar 2016 gewährt erste Einblicke.

MECH 223 Competition January 27th!DSC_4670
from UBC Mechanical Engineering
(2016/1/22 10:13)
|
Come see what our second-year students have been building at the MECH 223 competition on Wednesday, January 27th. This year’s project is concerned with regenerative braking: teams need to collect energy from their vehicle rolling down a ramp, and use that energy to perform various actions. The vehicles are all autonomous, and need to stop accurately, start moving again after a stop, slow down in sections, speed up in sections, carry cargo, and travel as far as possible (depending on the round).
The competition will take place in the Fred Kaiser building (2332 Main Mall), room 1180, from 11:00 am-2:00 pm . Stop by to cheer on your favorite team! All are welcome!
We’ll be posting photos of the competition after the event, so be sure to check back. Here’s one from last year’s competition, which involved racing water-powered cars!

Frances Pepper Tarson with her family.
2016 marks the 75th anniversary of the UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies. In honor of that anniversary we are reaching out to alumnus from each decade to share memories of their time in the drama department at UC Berkeley. Frances Pepper Tarson graduated from the University of California in 1948 with a major in Dramatic Arts.
Frances Tarson Pepper attended UC Berkeley from 1943-1948 and experienced firsthand the early years of the UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies, when it was then known as the Department of Dramatic Arts. Frances has a unique perspective of the time because, as she recalls, ?The people that set up the department were Professor Durham and Professor Lehman from the English Department and Professor Pepper, my father, who was a professor of Aesthetics and chairman of the Art Department at that time.? Frances continues, ?They hired Fred Harris and Henry Schnitz ...

Alan Read is the Department Chair of Theater at King?s College London, director of the Performance Foundation, author of numerous titles on theater, and writes and broadcasts for BBC Radio 4. In Fall 2015, he taught ?Theater Capital? to Berkeley students in London as part of UC Berkeley?s Global Edge program.
Global Edge is an exciting program where newly admitted Berkeley freshmen spend their first semester abroad in London while earning Berkeley credit towards their degree. Click here for more info.
“From the West End to Westminster Abbey and many performances in between, plus a pair of gold lamé boots”
We?re delighted to have you working with our Berkeley students in London. Can you tell us how you became involved in the Berkeley Global Edge program?
My esteemed colleague Professor Catherine Cole at UC Berkeley contacted me asking if I could suggest anyone in London who might take on this new program. Catherine and her team were looking for ...

Natalie Rutiezer is a junior transfer student majoring in Near Eastern Studies and minoring in Dance and Performance Studies. She has studied Middle East and Central Asian dance for years and is currently the director of Adara Dance Company and UC Berkeley?s Central Asian and Middle Eastern Dance Company, Sorayya.
When Natalie Rutiezer arrived in Tajikistan last summer, she had memorized the Cyrillic alphabet and spoke some Persian, but knew she would rely most on the universal language of dance. Having studied Middle Eastern and Central Asian dance in the Bay Area for years, she embraced the opportunity to travel to a country she had studied and read about, and learn regional dances and their history firsthand from Tajik performers and teachers.
Natalie first became interested in Middle Eastern and Central Asian dance when she jumped into a Persian Dance class six years ago on a whim. She had taken jazz, hip hop, modern, ballet and belly-dancing pr ...

In July 2015, the UBC Thunderbots –a Mechanical Engineering student design team–traveled to Hefei, China to compete in the Robocup International Competition. The team is comprised of members from various disciplines and year levels, who work together to design and build autonomous soccer-playing robots. Mechanical Engineering student and Thunderbots team member Tiffany Tsu provides an account of the competition below.
My Robocup Experience – Hefei 2015
By Tiffany Tsu, 3rd year BASc MECH
This past summer, I had the opportunity to travel with UBC Thunderbots to Robocup 2015 in Hefei, China. I was extremely excited for this opportunity, as it was my first Robocup experience. During the months before Robocup, I was working on designing and manufacturing new shells for the robot. It was very rewarding to see all my hard work pay off during competition ? the new shells looked great and functioned very well during our matches. We played a total of four round ro ...

Dengue-Fieber zuverlässig erkennen
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2016/1/4 19:44)
|
Tigermücken sind in Afrika und Asien heimisch. Sie breiten sich jedoch zunehmend auch im Mittelmeerraum aus?und mit ihnen das Virus des Dengue-Fiebers. Bislang gibt es keinen Antikörpertest, der dieses Virus zweifelsfrei erkennt. Forscher haben nun erstmals einen solchen Test entwickelt und schaffen eine Möglichkeit, Dengue kostengünstig und zuverlässig zu diagnostizieren.
