The abbreviation rANS stands for a relatively new method of arithmetic coding based on asymmetric numeral systems (ANS) which combines the advantages of arithmetic coding in terms of performance and the advantages of Huffman coding in terms of speed.
Compared to conventional arithmetic coding methods, the mathematical apparatus is slightly different which has the consequence that the decoding order is reversed to the encoding order, i.e. the processing follows the last-in-first-out principle.
This makes it somewhat difficult to design the coding process to adapt to changing symbol statistics, and therefore rANS coding has so far only been applied in settings with fixed statistics.
In particular, the frequent rescaling of statistics required to reduce the influence of old symbols becomes a problem when the order of processing is different on the encoder and decoder sides.

This paper proposes a new method that allows adaptive coding within the framework of rANS coding and additionally offers the possibility of rescaling the symbols frequencies. Investigations show that this method enables the same compression performance for rANS as for conventional arithmetic coding.

Digitalization of Controlling in Insurance Companies. Along the Limits of Insurability

This article deals with the digitalization of management accounting / controlling in insurance companies, which goes hand in hand with the digital transformation of the insurance industry by Big Data, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Blockchain. The insurance business requires an industry-specific design of the controlling instruments, but not of the controlling concept itself. Managing insurance as a service in a value- and risk-oriented way requires cost transparency, e.g. through contribution margin calculations. Risks, on the other hand, can only be understood from a balance sheet perspective, e.g. through internal models. These interdisciplinary fields of application of controlling are undergoing digitalization. In addition, there are new market developments such as telematics tariffs, in which the digitalization of controlling is essential in order to address the limits of insurability. The fields of application result in new competence profiles of controllers in distinction to actuaries and data scientists.

Interior insulation plays a key role in reducing the energy consumption of historic buildings. However, it might cause moisture accumulation
and must be thoroughly analyzed. The use of recycled materials allows for further reduction of environmental impact. This paper presents
the study of a new insulating plaster containing aerogel and recycled glass used as capillary active interior insulation system. Firstly, the
hygrothermal properties of the material are measured in laboratory to obtain a complete characterization. Laboratory tests results are post-
processed to obtain the data required as input by the simulation software. Finally, hygrothermal simulations are carried out to investigate
the material’s behavior in realistic application scenarios and to study how different input parameters affect the results.

Humidity, salt content, and migration in building materials lead to weathering and are a common challenge. To understand damage phenomena and select the right conservation treatments, knowledge on both the amount and distribution of moisture and salt load in the masonry is crucial. It was shown that commercial portable devices addressing moisture are often limited by the mutual interference of these values. This can be improved by exploiting broadband radar reflectometry for the quantification of humidity in historic masonry. Due to the above-mentioned limitations, today’s gold standard for evaluating the moisture content in historic buildings is still conducted by taking drilling samples with a subsequent evaluation in a specially designed laboratory, the so-called Darr method. In this paper, a new broadband frequency approach in the range between 0.4 and 6 GHz with improved artificial-intelligence data analysis makes sure to optimize the reflected signal, simplify the evaluation of the generated data, and minimise the effects of variables such as salt contamination that influence the permittivity. In this way, the amount of water could be determined independently from the salt content in the material and an estimate of the salt load. With new machine learning algorithms, the analysis of the permittivity is improved and can be made accessible for everyday use on building sites with minimal intervention by the user. These algorithms were trained with generated data from different drying studies on single building bricks from the masonries. The findings from the laboratory studies were then validated and evaluated on real historic buildings at real construction sites. Thus, the paper shows a spatially resolved and salt-independent measurement system for determining building moisture.
