One goal of the project described in this paper is to create learning algorithms for machines and robots that lack a precise virtual controller for correct simulations. Using a digital twin approach, the developed mixed reality application aims for an overlay of a virtual robot model with the real world counterpart using Microsoft HoloLens 2 smart glasses. The application should help users to have an inside look into the results of the learning algorithm and therefore supervise and improve those results. The main focus of this paper is the visual representation of the digital twin on the smart glasses. One of the challenges is the level of abstraction and specific use of shaders (program code defining material attributes) to help the user differentiating between virtual and real objects. Therefore different presentation methods are described and evaluated. Study results with 48 persons show that the most abstract representation (wireframe) scores lowest, whereas a half-transparent model works best.

With Cloud Computing and multi-core CPUs parallel computing resources are becoming more and more affordable and commonly available. Parallel programming should as well be easily accessible for everyone. Unfortunately, existing frameworks and systems are powerful but often very complex to use for anyone who lacks the knowledge about underlying concepts. This paper introduces a software framework and execution environment whose objective is to provide a system which should be easily usable for everyone who could benefit from parallel computing. Some real-world examples are presented with an explanation of all the steps that are necessary for computing in a parallel and distributed manner.
Blood flow and ventilatory flow strongly influence the concentrations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath. The physicochemical properties of a compound (e.g., water solubility) additionally determine if the concentration of the compound in breath reflects the alveolar concentration, the concentration in the upper airways, or a mixture of both. Mathematical modeling based on mass balance equations helps to understand how measured breath concentrations are related to their corresponding blood concentrations and physiological parameters, such as metabolic rates and endogenous production rates. In addition, the influence of inhaled compounds on their exhaled concentrations can be quantified and appropriate correction formulas can be derived. Isoprene and acetone, two endogenous VOCs with very different water solubility, have been modeled to explain the essential features of their behavior in breath. This chapter introduces the theory of physiological modeling of exhaled VOCs, with examples of isoprene and acetone.
