Virtueller Fahrzeugtest?Reifen realitätsnah abbilden - Forschung Kompakt März 2015 - Thema 5
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2015/11/17 19:34)
|
Lange bevor ein Auto vom Band rollt, testen die Hersteller die Fahrzeug-Designs virtuell. Die Simulation der Reifen ist jedoch eine Herausforderung. Das Tool»CDTire/3D«von Fraunhofer-Forschern stellt nun auch die Räder realitätsnah dar. Dabei berücksichtigt es die Wärme, die beim Fahren entsteht und die Eigenschaften der Reifenändert.

November Faculty Spotlight: Shannon Jackson and Angela Marino release new books
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2015/11/11 9:44)

Shannon Jackson, Associate Vice Chancellor for the Arts and Design, TDPS Professor and the Cyrus and Michelle Hadidi Chair in the Humanities , has just released The Builders Association: Performance and Media in Contemporary Theater , a new critical retrospective of the award-winning intermedia theater performance company The Builders Association, together with the company?s artistic director and founder Marianne Weems.
What inspired you to write The Builders Association: Performance and Media in Contemporary Theater ?
I learned about The Builders Association when they performed in San Francisco at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. I met Marianne Weems, the artistic director, and she discussed how much she enjoyed working in the creative landscape of the Bay Area. I was Chair of TDPS at the time, and we were able apply for an artist residency program at the Arts Research Center. In that residency the Builders created the first version of a show called Co ...

November Alumnus Spotlight: Doug and Cessna Kaye, Class of?70
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2015/11/11 8:59)
|
Doug and Cessna Kaye met and fell in love in the UC Berkeley Drama Department (as it was called then). They graduated in 1970, Cessna with her masters degree and Doug with his bachelor’s degree, and have been together ever since. Below, the couple shares about their experiences at Berkeley, their love of theater arts and the ways in which a theater degree can positively influence every aspect of a career arc.
What is the strongest memory of your time at UC Berkeley?
Cessna: Oh my goodness there are so many! I hardly know how to answer that. From a classroom perspective it was a bit daunting, because I had taken a few years off before getting my masters at Berkeley. The classes were challenging and exciting.
Doug: Mine was meeting Cessna.
Cessna: We met in directing class. Doug asked me out to a party that he and his roommate were throwing and that was it. We?ve been together ever since.
Doug: Let?s see, I won the [Roslyn Schneider] Eisner Prize for Continui ...

November Student Spotlight: Sumire Shimojo
from UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies
(2015/11/11 8:06)
|
Sumire Shimojo is a first semester junior transfer who is majoring in Nutritional Science and Toxicology and performed as a dancer in the recent TDPS production of THE CHERRY ORCHARD.
Growing up in Japan, Sumire was enchanted with acting. ?Ever since I was young, I have really liked expressing myself, and acting is one way to do it,? she says. ?I went to see shows and was so inspired with the idea of acting and being on stage, but unfortunately I didn?t have a chance to do that.? With no acting classes offered at her school, Sumire was encouraged to focus on her strengths, which lay in the sciences and ballet, and shelf her dream of appearing onstage.
Then, at the age of 18, Sumire moved to the United States and everything changed. ?I feel like people here are pursuing more than just what they are expected to do, or what they are good at,? she muses. Sumire spent two years at Bellevue Community College before transferring to UC Berkeley this semester, where she is now majoring ...

Berkeley, CA ? November 2015 ? This November the UC Department of Theater, Dance and Performance Studies (TDPS) presents A Murder of Crows , Mac Wellman?s dark comedy on humanity and hypocrisy. Directed by TDPS associate professor Peter Glazer, this surrealist story of a young woman railing against a decaying world runs November 19-22, 2015 in Durham Studio Theater on the UC Berkeley campus. Tickets are $13 to $20 and can be purchased online through the TDPS box office or at the door. Playwright Mac Wellman will be in residence at TDPS the week of the performances; he will speak about his work during several free events (more info below).

Sie sind lichtscheu, flink und hartnäckig?Kopfläuse. Die Blutsauger krallen sich am Haar fest, man wird sie nur schwer wieder los.Üblicherweise wird Läusebefall mit chemischen Mitteln und Nissenkamm behandelt. Fraunhofer-Forscher entwickeln einen Kamm, der die Schädlinge mithilfe von Plasma zuverlässig abtötet?ohne Biozide und den Einsatz von Chemie. Auf der Messe MEDICA in Düsseldorf präsentieren sie ein Funktionsmuster (Halle 10, Stand G05).

Licht spürt Arthritis auf
from Fraunhofer Presseinformationen
(2015/11/3 17:00)
|
Gelenkentzündungen kommen häufig vor und können verschiedene Ursachen haben. Viele Formen, wie die rheumatoide Arthritis, sind nicht heilbar. Doch je früher man die Krankheit erkennt, desto besser lässt sie sich mit Medikamenten behandeln. Deshalb entwickeln Fachleute derzeit in dem EU-Projekt IACOBUS unter der Leitung des Fraunhofer-Instituts für Biomedizinische Technik IBMT einen Fingerscanner, mit dem sich Arthritis-Erkrankungen künftig sehr früh diagnostizieren lassen. Vom 16. bis 19. November präsentieren sie auf der Messe MEDICA in Düsseldorf einen Prototyp (Halle 10, Stand G05).
