We motivate these efforts by considering the opportunities technology provides to pursue game designs based on according game design frameworks. We present three different use cases of the proposed model that emphasize its potential to (1) self-assemble into predefined 3D graphical assets, (2) define new structures in the context of virtual environments by self-assembling layers on the surfaces of arbitrary 3D objects, and (3) allow novel structures to self-assemble only considering the model's configuration and no external dependencies. To address the performance restrictions in computer games, we realized the prototypical model implementation by means of an efficient entity component system (ECS). We conclude the paper with an outlook on future steps to further explore novel interactive, dynamic PCG mechanics and to ensure their efficiency.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DaviesDewellHarvey2021, author = {Davies, Richard and Dewell, Nathan and Harvey, Carlo}, title = {A framework for interactive, autonomous and semantic dialogue generation in games}, series = {Proceedings of the 1st Games Technology Summit}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 1st Games Technology Summit}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-246023}, pages = {16-28}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Immersive virtual environments provide users with the opportunity to escape from the real world, but scripted dialogues can disrupt the presence within the world the user is trying to escape within.

However, during the last years encouraging results of recently introduced tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such as vandetanib have been published. In this study we aimed to correlate the results of \(^{18}\)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ([\(^{18}\)F]FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging with treatment outcome. Methods: Eighteen patients after thyroidectomy with recurrent/advanced MTC lesions receiving vandetanib (300 mg orally/day) could be analysed. A baseline \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET prior to and a follow-up \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET 3 months after TKI initiation were performed. During follow-up, tumor progression was assessed every 3 months including computed tomography according to RECIST. Progression-free survival (PFS) was correlated with the maximum standardized uptake value of \(^{18}\)F-FDG in lymph nodes (SUV(LN)max) or visceral metastases (SUV(MTS)max) as well as with clinical parameters using ROC analysis. Results: Within median 3.6 years of follow-up, 9 patients showed disease progression at median 8.5 months after TKI initiation. An elevated glucose consumption assessed by baseline \(^{18}\)F-FDG PET (SUV(LN)max > 7.25) could predict a shorter PFS (2 y) with an accuracy of 76.5\% (SUV(LN)max <7.25, 4.3 y; p=0.03). Accordingly, preserved tumor metabolism in the follow-up PET (SUV(MTS)max >2.7) also demonstrated an unfavorable prognosis (accuracy, 85.7\%). On the other hand, none of the clinical parameters reached significance in response prediction. Conclusions: In patients with advanced and progressive MTC, tumors with higher metabolic activity at baseline are more aggressive and more prone to progression as reflected by a shorter PFS; they should be monitored more closely. Preserved glucose consumption 3 months after treatment initiation was also related to poorer prognosis.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WernerLapaBucketal.2017, author = {Werner, Rudolf and Lapa, Constantin and Buck, Andreas and Lassmann, Michael and H{\"a}nscheid, Heribert}, title = {Less is sometimes more - Accurate Dose Mapping after Endoradiotherapy with \(^{177}\)Lu-DOTATATE/-TOC by One-Single Measurement after 96 h}, series = {Journal of Nuclear Medicine}, volume = {58}, booktitle = {Journal of Nuclear Medicine}, number = {No. Supplement 1}, publisher = {Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging}, issn = {0161-5505}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-161168}, pages = {247}, year = {2017}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WernerChenLapaetal.2017, author = {Werner, Rudolf and Chen, Xinyu and Lapa, Constantin and Robinson, Simon and Higuchi, Takahiro}, title = {Intracellular behavior of the novel sympathetic nerve agent \(^{18}\)F-LMI1195}, series = {Journal of Nuclear Cardiology}, volume = {24}, booktitle = {Journal of Nuclear Cardiology}, number = {4 Supplement (2017) Aug}, issn = {1071-3581}, doi = {10.1007/s12350-017-0984-y}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-161137}, pages = {1461-1496}, year = {2017}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Herz}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WernerWakabayashiJahnsetal.2017, author = {Werner, Rudolf and Wakabayashi, Hiroshi and Jahns, Roland and Erg{\"u}n, S{\"u}leyman and Jahns, Valerie and Higuchi, Takahiro}, title = {PET-Guided Histological Characterization of Myocardial Infiltrating Cells in a Rat Model of Myocarditis}, series = {European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging}, volume = {18}, booktitle = {European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging}, number = {Supplement}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, issn = {2047-2404}, doi = {10.1093/ehjci/jex071}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-161127}, pages = {i1-i3}, year = {2017}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Myokarditis}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WernerKobayashiWakabayashietal.2017, author = {Werner, Rudolf and Kobayashi, Ryohei and Wakabayashi, Hiroshi and Lapa, Constantin and Menke, Andreas and Higuchi, Takahiro}, title = {Effect of Antidepressants on Radiolabeled Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) Uptake}, series = {European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging}, volume = {18}, booktitle = {European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging}, number = {Supplement}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, issn = {2047-2404}, doi = {10.1093/ehjci/jex080}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-161116}, pages = {i52-53}, year = {2017}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {MIBG}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OPUS4-14713, title = {Research Network on Methodology for the Analysis of Social Interaction.

A famous example of his costly 'folie de grandeur' is the Sacred Northeast Mountain Peak Genyue, a gigantic rock garden in the northeast part of the Old City of the capital Kaifeng. The garden is described in sources such as the Huayanggong jishi (Description of the Florescent Solitary Palace) by the Buddhist monk Zu Xiu from 1127 and Zhang Hao's (ca. 1180-1250) Genyue ji (Record of the Northeast Marchmount). The project in search of auspicious blessing started in 1118, having originated in the emperor's conviction that the Daoist Immortals would descend to this exquisite paradise situated in the centre of the world, his capital. In his conviction the landscape garden that exceeded nature's beauty would prolong and glorify his rule for ten thousand years. The Genyue was completed in January 1123, and thus became part of Emperor Huizong's Divine Empyrean Daoist ideology of statecraft. Contrary to all auspicious symbolism, the Song's emblematic demonstrations of power, and the necessity to meet political expectations, Emperor Huizong proved incapable of finding a solution to the disastrous situation at the northern frontier with Jin troupes moving onto his capital.

Because of limited adoption of tools that seamlessly integrate all aspects of a research project (conception, data generation, data evaluation, peerreviewing and publishing of conclusions), much effort is later spent on reproducing or reformatting individual entities before they can be repurposed independently or as parts of articles. We propose that workflows - performed both individually and collaboratively - could potentially become more efficient if all steps of the research cycle were coherently represented online and the underlying data were formatted, annotated and licensed for reuse. Such a system would accelerate the process of taking projects from conception to publication stages and allow for continuous updating of the data sets and their interpretation as well as their integration into other independent projects. A major advantage of such work ows is the increased transparency, both with respect to the scientific process as to the contribution of each participant. The latter point is important from a perspective of motivation, as it enables the allocation of reputation, which creates incentives for scientists to contribute to projects. Such work ow platforms offering possibilities to fine-tune the accessibility of their content could gradually pave the path from the current static mode of research presentation into a more coherent practice of open science.}, language = {en} }
