I hoping to keep up my German language skills by practicing with a language exchange partner. I'm also more than willing to help out with my native language of English. I live in the US and work full-time at a medical device company as an engineer. I am also attending graduate school for my Masters in mechanical engineering. I spent one year abroad in Germany in the city of Stuttgart, which is where I learned most of my German. I'm also interested in learning Norwegian, French, and Portuguese. Interests: international travel, food, paintball, reading, movies, beer

    abstract of my masterthesis

    Hi guys

    I have to write an english abstract for my masterthesis. It would be nice if someone can check it :) I tried to let it sound smart but I am afraid I am unable to do so in english >..<

    The use of physic simulations in computer games and virtual reality is has been a constant trend which lasts years [<- this sentence was a little bit confusing I tried my best to make it sound alright]. They allow for the development of dynamic virtual worlds, which can change through user interaction. At first there were only the simulation of rigid body possible it was only possible to simulate rigid bodies. Later, the increase of in computational power enabled the simulation of soft bodies and cloth. However, an essential part of every 3d world is still widely unchangeable - the terrain.

    This thesis describes the development of a terrain and water simulation for the use in computer games and virtual reality. It discusses not only the simulation itself, but also its implementation and optimization. Furthermore, the author examines the advantages, disadvantages, and duration differences of the use of the technologies SSE, OpenMP and DirectCompute. With the development of an efficent algorithm and its optimization, it succeeded to in creating a powerful software, which can simulate the terrain and water surface in an area over the size of 16 square kilometers on a gaming pc in realtime.

    thank you for your time :)

    Reise nach Deutschland Teil 3: Berlin Das Wetter des letzten Tags in Jena war endlich wieder schön und es war genau so schön als wir in Berlin ankamen. Ich war schon einmal in Berlin gewesen, aber es war im Winter und sau kalt und windig. Dieses Mal war es im Sommer und die Sonne schien. Wir sind im Hauptbahnhof aus dem Zug ausgestiegen und haben unsere Gepäcke zum Hostel geschleppt. Danach sind wir zum Reichstag gegangen und machten eine Führung. Nach der Führung hatten wir noch ein bisschen Zeit vor dem Anfang des Public Viewing. Es was das este Spiel der deutschen Mannschaft. Die spielte gegen Portugal. Wir sind vor dem Brandenburger Tor ein bisschen spät angekommen and mussten ganz hinten stehen, aber es hat eine Menge Spaß gemacht. Es gab so viele Leute und so viel war los, dass asl wir angekommen sind, sind wir gerade von einander getrennt geworden. Ich schaute mit zwei Mädels der Gruppe das Spiele an. Wir haben mit ein paar Deutschen geredet und die Mannschaft angefeuert. Deutschland hat natürlich gewonnen und als alles fertig war, sind wir auf der Straße zum Brandenburger Tor gelaufen. Auf dem Weg zurück zum Hostel mussten wir eine Pause vor dem Reichstag machen, weil einer von uns ein bisschen blau war. Wir saßen auf dem Rasen, redeten und genossen einfach die schöne Nacht. Als wir das Hostel erreichten, bin ich einfach ins Bett gefallen. Ich war sau müde wegen des spannenden Tags. Am nächsten Tag hatten wir Zeit, um zu machen, was wir wollten. Ich bin mit ein paar Mädels, die schon Berlin besucht hatten, herrumgewandert. Wir haben Kaffee am Gendarmentmarkt bestellt, selbst gemacht Schocklade vom Ritter Sport gekauft und East Side Gallery besucht. Es war wieder ein schöner Tag und konnte nicht besser sein. Obwohl wir in Berlin nur zwei Tage waren, hat es mir sehr gut gefallen. Beim Public Viewing zu sein, war einzigartig und hat mir den meisten Spaß auf der ganzen Reise gemacht. Am frühen Morgen fuhren wir nach Schwerin und Hamburg...

    Reise nach Deutschland Teil 2: Jena Im Zug nach Jena haben wir zufällig mit einem Alter unserer Gruppe getroffen. Er war in Deutschland gerade angekommen. Als wir Jena erreichten, regnete es noch. Wir haben es geschafft unser Hotel zu finden. Wir haben eingecheckt und herausgefunden, dass ein paar Leute von unserer Gruppe schon da waren. Da das Wetter so schlecht war, habe ich für ein Schläfchen gewählt. Am Abend sind wir ins Restaurant gegangen. Ich habe Türinger Wurst mit Sauerkraut und Kartoffeln bestellt. Die waren voll lecker. Im Restaurant haben wir auch ein paar Deutschen aus Dresden kennengelernt, die in Jena waren, um Prüfungen an der Hochschule zu schreiben. Als die anderen zurück zum Hotel gegangen sind, blieb ich da, um mit den Deutschen weiter zu reden (und Pálinka und Biere zu trinken). Wir sind in Jena für sechs Tage geblieben und haben Führungen bei Schott und Carl-Zeiss gemacht, die ganz interessant waren. Einen Tagesausflug nach Weimar haben wir auch gemacht. Da haben wir eine Führung an einem Institut der Uni gemacht, das etwas mit Bioenergie zu tun hat. Im Institut machten sie Forschungen und Entwicklungen von Systemen, die in einer Wohnsiedlung in Hamburg verwendet werden würden. Wenn das Wetter in Jena gut war, bin ich mit ein paar Freunden in am Flussufer legender Biergarten gegangen, um zu lesen und einfach die Freizeit mit einem Bier zu genießen. Nach Jena sind wir nach Berlin mit dem Zug gefahren...

    In this context, "housing" by itself has no meaning. You need to look for the meaning of "rough housing." "To rough house" would be the verb form. Rough housing is usually used to mean "playing roughly with one another" or "playing in a manner such that someone can get hurt (as in your example) or something can get broken (like a lamp or window)". Typically, it is used to refer to children that are playing roughly, but animals/pets and grown adults can rough house as well. For example, two dogs chasing each other wildly around the house. Hope that helps clarify the meaning a bit.

    Dinner with my language teacher

    My german course has come came to its end last week. I had a very nice teacher. She is very patient and knows a lot. There was only one and a half hours with her every Wednesday at 17 O`clock 5:00 PM, but I have learnt learned a lot from her and made much had a lot of fun in the class. It was also a very special learning group, because there were only two students in this course.,  Except me, there was only one girl who is was from Bolivien Bolivia.

    I remembered There was one time in the first weeks I was once so sleeply in the class uand couldn`t open my eyes, because I was so tired after the whole day of lectures. I once even grew very tired of this course, because several parts of it I once learnt learned in other language courses in my hometown. Repeating is sometimes very boring for me. much boring, However, I couldn`t outwardly show that feeling, because the teacher would have easily recognized it, it could be very easy to be found by her, because, as I mentioned, because we were only two sitting there.

    However, I learnt learned a lot of words, however, about my major, about marketing for example. It was very helpful for me.

    Now one semester is has gone by. The institute has only organised for us one semester language course for us, so that means from next semester on there`s no extra classes any more. On the one hand, it is a good news for me, on the other hand, it is a pity for me, because I like this teacher.

    This evening she invited me and my class mate from Bolivien Bolivia to a dinner together. It was a nice evening in one of the best cáfes in the down town downtown. I have very enjoyed the time with her very much.

    She even gave us nice goodbye presents for goodbye. Of course, I also brought something for her. It should be nice memories for ever, if I´m thinking of the time here in Germany later. [this whole sentence was awkward, so I rewrote it for what I thought you were trying to say].  When I think back on my time in Germany, these are the memories that will stay with me forever.

    Now my summer holidays have begun, but I haven´t planned how to spend them concretly. However, I will very much enjoy this summer very much, while traveling on the road on the road while travelling.
