Abstract
The application of halide-bridged mixed-valence Cu(I)–Cu(II) coordination polymers with hexamethylenedithiocarbamate (Hm-dtc) ligand as sensitizing materials for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) tetramethacrylate (PEDOT-TMA) counter electrode is novel. DSSCs having coordination polymers in comparison with a mononuclear Cu(Hm-dtc)2 complex exhibited better power conversion efficiency because of the high photocurrent density.
One-pot Formation of Furfural from Xylose via Isomerization and Successive Dehydration Reactions over Heterogeneous Acid and Base Catalysts
Authors: Takagaki Atsushi , Ohara Mika , Nishimura Shun , Ebitani Kohki 
Published: July 2010

Abstract
An efficient furfural formation from xylose, a major pentose in hemicellulose of biomass, was demonstrated using a pair of solid acid and base in one-pot. High furfural yield was obtained in polar aprotic solvents including N,N-dimethylformamide using Amberlyst-15 and hydrotalcite under moderate conditions. This efficient production of furfural was performed via aldose–ketose isomerization of xylose to xylulose by solid base and successive dehydration of xylulose to furfural by solid acid.

Published: July 2010

Abstract
Uniform core–shell PANI/MWCNT nanocomposite was synthesized by an efficient reactive template method based on the MnO2/MWCNTs as a template and an oxidant. Such nanocomposite presents a high specific capacitance of 296 F g−1 at 2 A g−1 and even 220 F g−1 at 5 A g−1 and long cycling stability (84% capacity retention after 1000 cycles), indicating a promising candidate for electrochemical capacitors.

Published: July 2010

Abstract
The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from a patient with pneumoconiosis induced by cemented tungsten carbide (WC) was analyzed by micro-X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analysis. The BALF precipitate was dried and subjected to fluorescence XAFS using polycapillary focused X-rays. The W L1-edge XANES spectrum of the BALF precipitate could be identified as that of WC. Thus, a low concentration of WC could be detected from BALF using micro-XAFS without excess biopsy.

Additional records of Gelidiella fanii (Gelidiales, Rhodophyta) from the western Pacific based on morphology, rbcL and cox1 analyses
Authors: Wiriyadamrikul Jutarat , Park Jeong Kwang , Lewmanomont Khanjanapaj , Boo Sung Min 
Published: July 2010

Abstract
This is a first report on the occurrence of Gelidiella fanii outside of Taiwan, where it was recently described as a new species. New specimens have been collected from Thailand, Indonesia, Japan, and the Philippines. The species commonly occurred on rocks and crustose algae in the intertidal zone at locations visited. Thalli had downward curving unilateral branchlets, numerous hairs around branch tips, iridescent color under water, and clublike tetrasporangial stichidia with blunt tips. Two genes were analyzed from different organelle genomes: plastid rbcL from 13 specimens and mitochondrial cox1 from 24 specimens including putative relatives. Analyses of both rbcL and cox1 sequences revealed that G. fanii was strictly separated from other species in the genus. This is the first report on cox1 gene sequences in the order Gelidiales. Nine cox1 haplotypes were found in G. fanii; there was a biogeographic structure, except for the Japanese haplotype, which grouped with those from Thailand. The present study indicates that G. fanii is common in Thailand and probably in the southeastern Asia region. G. fanii was more closely related to an identified Gelidiella sequence from South Africa, which is morphologically similar to G. acerosa. Detailed observations of field-collected material will enable a more realistic evaluation of the distribution of G. fanii in tropical and subtropical waters of the world.
Morphology of the flagellar pore complex in Prorocentrum minimum (Dinophyceae) from the Adriatic and Baltic Seas

Published: July 2010

Abstract

Prorocentrum minimum (Dinophyceae), a planktonic microalga forming red tides, is considered a potentially toxic species. In view of its likely harmful role, accurate identification of P. minimum to species and/or subspecies may be particularly important. Like most thecate dinoflagellates, species identification is largely based on morphology of the theca and on features of both flagellar and auxiliary apical pores. In this study, we compared 18S rDNA gene sequences to confirm that P. minimum strains isolated from the Baltic (3 strains) and Adriatic (3 strains) Seas were the same species, and compared the morphology of the apical pore region among the strains. Our results confirm that the platelet arrangement in the apical pore region is a stable morphological character, independent of the strain origin and culture growth phase. In addition a small tooth, opposite to the apical collar in the auxiliary pore area, is proposed as an additional diagnostic character.
Die französische Regierung packt die Judenfrage ohne Umschweife an. Vichy-Frankreich, deutsche Besatzungsmacht und der Beginn der Judenpolitik im Sommer/Herbst 1940

War der Holocaust ein europäisches Projekt? Keine Frage, die Initiative zum Völkermord kam aus Deutschland. Richtig ist aber auch, dass diese Initiative in ganz Europa auf ein vernehmliches Echo traf, selbst wenn es dann im Einzelnen sehr unterschiedlich ausfiel. Auch die französische Regierung, die französische Verwaltung und die französische Kirche haben sich 1940, nach dem deutschen Sieg im Westen, für eine antisemitische Politik entschieden. Das Interessante daran war, dass dies – wie jetzt nachgewiesen wird – fast ohne deutsches Zutun geschah.

Warum endet sie nicht, die Debatte über den militärischen Widerstand? Weil neue Dokumente und neue Thesen alte Gewissheiten in Frage gestellt haben; weil Wissenschaft stets ein dialektischer Prozess ist; und weil es sich in diesem Fall nicht gerade um ein Nebenthema der Zeitgeschichte handelt. Johannes Hürter (VfZ 52, Heft 3/Juli 2004) hat die Debatte eröffnet, wurde von Gerhard Ringshausen (VfZ 53, Heft 1/Januar 2005) kritisiert und von Felix Römer (VfZ 53, Heft 3/Juli 2005) unterstützt. Dann folgten die Beiträge von Hermann Graml (VfZ 54, Heft 1/Januar 2006) und nochmals von Johannes Hürter und Felix Römer (VfZ 54, Heft 2/April 2006). Doch gibt es in dieser Sache noch mehr Argumente?
Probleme mit dem großen Bruder. Der DDR-Staatssicherheitsdienst und die Deutschlandpolitik der KPdSU 1969/70
Authors: Suckut Siegfried 
Published: July 2010

Vorspann
Die Stasi wusste, was der DDR nach dem „Machtwechsel“ in Bonn 1969 und dem Beginn einer neuen Ostpolitik drohte – und sie informierte darüber auch die SED-Führung und den „großen Bruder“ in Moskau, der sich viele unbequeme Fragen gefallen lassen musste, von Warnungen vor einer Zersetzung des Ostblocks trotzdem nichts wissen wollte. Siegfried Suckut, einer der Pioniere der westdeutschen DDR-Forschung, präsentiert die Analysen der Staatssicherheit, schildert die Konsultationen mit dem KGB und den Prozess der Anpassung, der SED und Stasi schließlich doch auf den Kurs Moskaus einschwenken ließ – zähneknirschend, wie es scheint.

Abstract
Acromegaly is associated with an increased prevalence of colonic polyps. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and recurrence rate of colonic polyps in acromegalic patients. Ninety-six acromegalic patients and 100 irritable bowel syndrome patients (IBS) were enrolled in the study. Twenty patients who were cured exclusively by surgery, and 20 patients that could not be hormonally controlled were re-examined colonoscopically after 36 months. Twenty-nine of 96 acromegalic patients (30.2%) had colonic polyps. In the IBS group, 10 (10.0%) had colonic polyps. The prevalence of colonic polyps was significantly higher in acromegaly. The group of acromegalic patients with and without polyps did not differ significantly with regard to plasma GH, IGF-I, fasting insulin levels and glycemic status. The presence of colonic polyps was correlated with increased patient age and male gender. We did not observe a difference in terms of polyp recurrence frequencies in the patients cured by surgery compared to uncontrolled patients. Acromegalic patients have a higher prevalence of colonic polyps than that of control subjects. We could not identify any factors that could predict polyps within the acromegalic patients - but age and male sex.

Abstract
The aim of the present case-control study was to assess the risk factors for Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in the Montenegrin population. The study group was comprised of 100 consecutive patients with a diagnosis of BCC, while the control group consisted of patients who did not present skin cancer and who were individually matched to the cases by sex and age. The increased risk for BCC was associated with: the presence of nevi (odds ratio [OR] = 3.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.12–12.73), type of skin concerning to burn rather than to tan after repeated sun exposure in childhood or adolescence (OR = 3.14; 95% CI = 1.59–6.18), the skin reaction to burn after two or more hours of sunlight during childhood or adolescence (OR = 4.53; 95% CI = 2.37–8.63), the number of severe and painful sunburns during their lifetime(OR = 3.52; 95% CI = 1.68–7.38), outdoor work during the summer-time (OR = 2.73; 95% CI = 1.00–7.45), occupational exposure to chemicals (OR = 17.89; 95% CI = 2.82–113.52), history of eczema (OR = 4.17; 95% CI = 1.53–11.39), and history of previous BCC (OR = 3.86; 95% CI = 1.40–10.65). Our study confirms the role of environmental and constitutional factors in development of BCC.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the changes in gingival blood flow due to orthodontic forces. Eleven volunteers, with the maxillary canine in an ectopic position were tested. A Laser Doppler Flowmeter (LDF) with a gingival probe was used, registering both the blood flow and temperature of the gingivae. After baseline measurement, a fixed orthodontic appliance was bonded. Measurements were repeated monthly, after activation of the appliance. The study lasted 6 months. The baseline value was 338.7 ± 201.56 P.U. [Perfusion Unit (mean ± S.D.)] which decreased to 218.9 ± 74.83 P.U. (p < 0.05) after two months and the final value of 363.9 ± 194.86 P.U was not significantly different from that initially (p > 0.5). The results showed that application of a force of 75 g resulted in a decrease in gingival blood flow up to 50%, but this returned to previous values after a few months. The study supports this measurement technique as a useful tool for monitoring gingival blood flow in long-term studies as well.

Abstract
Minimal residual disease (MRD) predicts the outcome of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Flow cytometry (FC) is one of the most sensitive and most applicable methods for MRD diagnostics, but there is still no agreement on the “gold standard” of the method. We tried to optimize flow cytometric MRD detection in T-ALL. Fourteen adults and 11 children with T-ALL and 12 normal bone marrow (BM) donors were enrolled in the study. We found that the most common phenotypic aberrations in T-ALL were TdT and CD99 coexpression on T-cells in BM. Therefore for MRD detection we developed a limited four-color marker panel (TdT/CD7/cCD3/CD19 and CD99/CD7/cCD3/CD2) and a standard analysis strategy. This assay was evaluated on BM of healthy controls. Less than 0.01% TdT+ or CD99 bright T-cells were found in normal BM. MRD was detected in 9 adult patients and 1 child at different time-points of treatment. The average TdT and CD99 mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) value of residual blasts fluctuated during therapy, but it still remained higher than MFI of normal T-cells. Our established MRD detection method differentiated leukemic lymphoblasts with sensitivity in the range of 0.01% and did not give any false positive results in normal BM.
High-content Analysis in Monastrol Suppressor Screens
Authors: Ge Y. , Zhang D. , Zhou X. , Zhang Z. 
Published: July 2010

SummaryObjectives: High-content screening (HCS) via automated fluorescent microscopy is a powerful technology for the effective expression of cellular processes. However, HCS will generally produce tremendous image datasets, which leads to difficulties of handling and analyzing. We proposed an automatic classification approach for simultaneous feature extraction and cell phenotype recognition of monoaster and bipolar cells in HCS system.Methods: The proposed approach was composed of image segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. The image segmentation was based on the Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) edge detection method. For the reduction of noise effect on cellular images, we employed an adaptive threshold in microtubule channel. The principal component analysis was used in the feature selection process. The classification was performed with a back-propagation neural network (BPNN). Using the current approach, the cell phases were distinguished from three-channel acquisitions of cellular images and the numbers of bipolar and monoaster cells were automatically counted.Results: The validity of this approach was examined by the application of screening the response of drug compounds in suppressing Monastrol. Our results indicate that the proposed algorithm could improve the recognition rates of monoaster and bipolar cells to 97.98% and 93.12%, respectively, compared with 97.02% and 86.96% obtained from the same samples by multi-phenotypic mitotic analysis (MMA).Conclusions: We have shown that BPNN is a valuable tool to classify cell phenotype. To further improve the classification performance, more test data, more optimized feature selection approaches, and advanced classifier may be required and will be investigated in future works.
Signal Interpretation from Low-dosage Acquisition
Authors: Cheng L. 
Published: July 2010

Summary
Objectives: This paper focuses on how we could analyze and interpret filtered back-projection reconstructed signals from low-dose computed tomographic (CT) imaging systems. There exists a growing imbalance between dosage reduction and effective signal interpretation. At the same time, low-dose applications are undergoing alarming growth.
Methods: This paper interprets filtered back-projection images in low-dose CT systems and details the possible properties of the artifacts. The interpretation leads to design of a new multi-image filtered back-projection approach that allows artifacts to be effectively identified across multiple images. We use this approach as a building block to propose a new reconstruction method that enables effective artifacts reduction and efficient implementation.
Results: Experiments with both clinical and simulated low-dose images demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
Conclusions: This study discusses a new FBP-based reconstruction approach based on signal interpretation from low-dosage acquisition. This method uses multiple filtered back-projection images from projection subsets to provide clues for distinguishing underlying clinical structure from artifacts. A framework is derived for effective signal interpretation and artifacts reduction. It requires no hardware change and a minimum amount of extra software support compared with current CT systems. Clinical and simulated low-dose CT scans demonstrated effectiveness of the proposed method.
Connectivity Analysis of Somatosensory Evoked Potentials in Patients with Major Depression
Authors: Weiss T. , Ionov J. , Bär K.-J. , Miltner W. H. R. , Witte H. , Leistritz L. 
Published: July 2010

Summary
Objectives: Connectivity analysis was used to investigate the processing of intracutaneous stimuli and directed interactions within the pain matrix in patients with major depression (MD) and healthy controls (HCs), by means of frequency selective generalized partial directed coherence (gPDC).
Methods: Eighteen patientswithMDand 18 HCs underwent stimulations consisting of moderately painful intracutaneous electrical stimuli to the right and left middle fingers. Connectivity analysis was based on nine selected EEG electrodes.
Results: Stimulus-induced changes of the gPDC in a pre/post stimulus comparison and changes in the connectivity pattern in the post-stimulus condition were found. We could identify network changes correlating to the side stimulated, as well as differences between HCs and MD patients.
Conclusions: These data support the suggestion that pain processing in response to noxious stimulation in MD patients is different compared to healthy controls, suggesting aberrant functional connectivity. Generalized partial directed coherence is shown to be a promising method to detect changes in connectivity in both within- and between-subject designs.
