This work represents a quantitative analysis and visualisation of scar tissue of the left ventricular myocard. The scar information is shown in the late enhancement data, that highlights the avitale tissue with the help of a contrast agent. Through automatic methods, the scar is extracted from the image data and quantifies the size, location and transmurality. The transmurality shows a local measurement between the heart wall und the width of the scar. The developed methods help the cardiologist to analyse the measurement, the reason and the degree of the heart failure in a short time period. He can further control the results by several visual presentations. The deformation of the scar tissue over the heart cycle is implemented in another scientific work. A visual improvement of the deformation result which extracts the scar out of the data is aspired. The avital tissue is shown in a more comfortable way by eliminating the unnecessary image information and therefore improves the visual analysis of the pumping heart. Both methods show a detailed analysis of the scar tissue. This supports the clinic practical throughout the manual analysis.

Viele Probleme in der Aussagenlogik sind nur sehr aufwändig lösbar. Ist beispielsweise eine Wissensbasis gegeben, an die wir Anfragen stellen, wollen, so kann dies mitunter sehr mühsam sein. Um trotzdem effizient Anfragen beantworten zu können, hat sich die Vorgehensweise der Wissenskompilation entwickelt. Dabei wird die Lösung der Aufgabe in eine Offline- und eine Online-Phase aufgeteilt. In der Offline-Phase wird die Wissensbasis präkompiliert. Dabei wird sie in eine bestimmte Form umgewandelt, auf der sich die erwarteten Anfragen effizient beantworten lassen. Diese Transformation der Wissensbasis ist meist sehr aufwändig, muss jedoch nur einmalig durchgeführt werden. In der darauffolgenden Online-Phase können nun effizient Anfragen beantwortet werden. In dieser Diplomarbeit wird eine spezielle Normalform, die sich als Zielsprache der Präkompilation anbietet, untersucht. Außerdem wird die Präkompilation so in einzelne Schritte unterteilt, dass möglicherweise bereits nach einigen Teilschritten Anfragen beantwortet werden können.

In the last years the e-government concentrated on the administrative aspects of administrative modernisation. In the next step the e-discourses will gain in importance as an instrument of the public-friendliness and means of the e-democracy/e-participation. With growing acceptance of such e-discourses, these will fastly reach a complexity, which could not be mastered no more by the participants. Many impressions, which could be won from presence discussions, will be lacking now. Therefore the exposed thesis has the objective of the conception and the prototypical implementation of an instrument (discourse meter), by which the participants, in particular the moderators of the e-discourse, are capable to overlook the e-discourse at any time and by means of it, attain their discourse awareness. Discourse awareness of the present informs about the current action in the e-discourse and discourse awareness of the past about the past action, by which any trends become visible. The focus of the discourse awareness is located in the quantitative view of the action in the e-discourse. From the model of e-discourse, which is developed in this thesis, the questions of discourse awareness are resulting, whose concretion is the basis for the implementation of the discourse meter. The discourse sensors attached to the model of the e-discourse are recording the actions of the e-discourse, showing events of discourse, which are represented by the discourse meter in various forms of visualizations. The concept of discourse meter offers the possibility of discourse awareness relating to the present as monitoring and the discourse awareness relating to the past as query (quantitative analysis) to the moderators of the e-discourse.
