The Building Design Advisor (BDA) is a software environment that supports the integrated use of multiple analysis and visualization tools throughout the building design process, from the initial, schematic design phases to the detailed specification of building components and systems. Based on a comprehensive design theory, the BDA uses an object-oriented representation of the building and its ...

Abstract Background Patients receiving CAR-T therapy may have impaired humoral responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccinations due their high net state of immunosuppression associated with the underlying disease, prior lines and treatment hypogammaglobinemia. Comprehensive data on vaccine immunogenicity in this patient population are currently lacking. Methods A single-center retrospective study adults CD...

The city government of Munich regularly publishes a booklet called the “Mietspiegel” (MS). The MS basically contains a verbal description of an expert system. It allows to calculate the estimated fair rent for a flat. By hand, one may need a weekend to do so. With our computerized version, “The Munich Rent Advisor”, the user just fills in a form in a few minutes and the rent is calculated immed...

Most cities in Germany regularly publish a booklet called \Mietspiegel" that allows calculating an estimate of the fair rent for a at. The Functional Rent Advisor (FRA) extends the functionality and applicability of the \Mietspiegel" for the city of Munich so that the user needs not to give all required information. The FRA is implemented using the high-level purely functional language Haskell....

We describe a \topology advisor" for routing of critical (multi-source) buses in building-block design. The tool accepts as input a block layout, a two-layer routing cost structure superposed over the block layout, terminal locations for a multi-source bus, and source-sink delay upper bound (linear or Elmore delay) constraints for all terminal pairs. The b best routing solutions (b a user param...
