Von Außen nach Innen – Neue Anwendungsschwerpunkte im Konstruktiven Glasbau
Authors: Wurm Jan 
Published: January 2010

AbstractDie Aspekte der Nachhaltigkeit und des ressourcenschonenden Bauens, die immer mehr in den Vordergrund rücken, führen zu einer neuen Balance zwischen transparenten und opaken, hochgedämmten Flächen in der Fassade. Der Schwerpunkt innovativer konstruktiver Verwendungen von Glas verlagert sich zunehmend auf skulpturale und innenräumliche Anwendungen. Der Beitrag zeigt für die Anwendungsfelder Fassade, Innenraum und Möbeldesign anhand konkreter Projekte aktuelle Trends im konstruktiven Glasbau auf. Die Entwicklung geht zu der Verwendung großformatiger, oftmals gebogener und nicht vorgespannter Verbundglasscheiben aus Weißglas, die sich durch hohe Kantenqualitäten auszeichnen und die ohne sichtbare Beschläge durch Form‐, Kraft‐ oder Stoffschluss miteinander gefügt werden – Entwicklungen, die auch für die Verwendung des Baustoffes in der Gebäudehülle eine neue Inspirationsquelle darstellen.

Published: January 2010

AbstractA new oxamido‐bridged macrocyclic trinuclear complex {[(CuL)(EtOH)]2Cd(EtOH)2}(ClO4)2·H2O (H2L = 2,3‐dioxo‐5,6:13,14‐dichlorobenzo‐7,12‐diphenyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclo‐pentadeca‐7,11‐diene)was synthesized and structurally characterized. The central CdII ion of the complex is bridged by macrocyclic oxamido groups. Magnetic properties were studied by susceptibility vs. temperature measurement, the best fitting of the experimental data led to J = –0.59 cm–1. IR and EPR spectra were also investigated.
Two New 2D Metal‐Organic Framework Structures Based on Different Polycarboxylate Anions and Analogue (Pyridyl)imidazole Derivative
Authors: Cui Rui‐Hai , Xu Yan‐Hong , Jiang Zhao‐Hua 
Published: January 2010

AbstractTwo new CdII coordination frameworks with the semirigid asymmetric ligand L, [Cd2L2(p‐bdc)]n (1) and [CdL(btec)0.25]n (2) (L = 4‐[(2‐(pyridine‐2‐yl)‐1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)methyl]benzoic acid, p‐bdc = 1,4‐benzenedicarboxylic acid, btec = 1,2,4,5‐benzenetetracarboxylic acid), were synthesized hydrothermally. In complex 1, p‐bdc ligands link [Cd2(COO)4N4] double‐chains to give a 2D network. In complex 2, two CdII ions and two ligands L form a 26‐membered ring, which is further connected by btec ligands in chelate‐monodentate coordination modes to construct a 2D polymeric sheet. In addition, the photoluminescence properties of the free ligand L and the two complexes were studied in the solid state at room temperature

Authors: Kienle Lorenz , Smetana Volodymyr , Duppel Viola , Simon Arndt 
Published: January 2010

AbstractThe system Li/Ba/Ca was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Three different phases could be identified and characterized. The crystal structure of the previously known compound Li33.3Ba13.1Ca3 was confirmed, however, variable calcium contents were observed in distinct crystallites. The same holds for phases with BaLi4‐ and Ba19Li44‐type structure, respectively. Structural transformations under irradiation occurred which were different for the crystallites of the Li33.3Ba13.1Ca3‐ and Ba19Li44‐types.
On Crystal Structure Investigations of α‐ and β‐Ammoniumdithiocarbamate NH4CS2NH2 and the Role of Hydrogen Bonding
Authors: Teske Christoph L. , Bensch Wolfgang 
Published: January 2010

AbstractSingle crystal X‐ray data of the low temperature α‐ and the high temperature β‐modifications of NH4CS2NH2 were collected at 170(2) K and at 310(2) K, respectively and the crystal structures were investigated. The α‐type crystallizes orthorhombically in the space group Pca21 with a = 8.2290(16), b = 5.6234(11), c = 10.694(2) Å, and the β‐type monoclinically in space group Cc with a = 14.7968(14), b = 9.4974(6), c = 9.3610(9) Å and β = 129.119(9)°. The crystal chemical relations between the two modifications are discussed particularly with regard to the hydrogen‐bonding networks.
Higher Ammoniates of BF3 and SiF4: Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Theoretical Calculations
Authors: Kraus Florian , Baer Sebastian A. 
Published: January 2010

AbstractWe report on the synthesis and crystal structure of a higher ammoniate of BF3NH3, the monammine trifluorido boron(III) ammonia (1/3), [BF3NH3]·3NH3. The neutral compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pna21 with a = 11.5062(2), b = 9.9888(2), c = 6.5846(1) Å, V = 756.79(2) Å3, and Z = 4, forming a complex three‐dimensional network through N–H···F and N–H···N hydrogen bonding, including the rare case of a trifurcated N–H···F hydrogen bond. A higher ammoniate of SiF4(NH3)2 was obtained and characterized for the first time. Diammine tetrafluorido silicon(IV) ammonia(1/2), [SiF4(NH3)2]·2NH3, was found to crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Cmca with a = 7.0595(1), b = 7.9814(1), c = 13.4595(2) Å, V = 758.37(2) Å3, and Z = 4. Its structure displays discrete SiF4(NH3)2 molecules, which are connected to crystal ammonia molecules via N–H···N hydrogen bonds and interconnected by N–H···F hydrogen bonds to {}^2_\infty[SiF4(NH3)2·2NH3] sheets. These layers are further interconnected by N–H···F hydrogen bonds from the crystal ammonia molecules leading to a three‐dimensional network. ELF and AIM calculations and population analyses of the ELF basins were carried out for the BF3NH3 and SiF4(NH3)2 units of the two compounds. The calculations reflect the partially covalent bonding of fluorine to boron and silicon and confirm the expected trend of Lewis acidity. It is shown that ELF charges are a better descriptor for the bond covalency in these compounds than AIM charges.

Published: January 2010

AbstractTwo high porous thioindates with 1,6‐diaminohexane (DAH), DAH‐InS‐1 and DAH‐InS‐2, were prepared by solvothermal reaction. Though the same T3 supertetrahedral frameworks were reported, the cations are different. DAH is a non‐cyclic diamine and also an economical reagent for synthesis. Because of the structural difference of the structural directing agents, the dimensions of crystal cells of DAH‐InS‐1 and DAH‐InS‐2 are elongated and the total volumes for the cation and solvent are 74.6 and 72.1 % (Platon) larger relative to those reported previously. The two compounds were obtained in one reaction system by controlling the reaction time. Their structures are briefly discussed and the correlativity of crystal shape with the parameters of microstructure is discussed.

Authors: Islam Saiful M. , Glaum Robert 
Published: January 2010

AbstractReV2O3(P2O7) was obtained in chemical vapour transport experiments (700 → 600 °C, addition of I2; bronze coloured, needle shaped single crystals) as well as by isothermal heating. The crystal structure, which is isostructural to WV2O3(P2O7), was refined from single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data (C2/c, Z = 4, a = 12.2503(5) Å, b = 12.6731(5) Å, c = 5.2188(2) Å, β = 89.968(2)°; 1194 independent reflections, 66 variables, 8 atoms in asymmetric unit, R1 = 0.023, wR2 = 0.049). It consists of [P2O7] groups and highly distorted [ReO6] octahedra [1.822(4) ≤ d(Re–O) ≤ 2.031(4) Å]. The latter forming ribbons [ReO3/1O3/2], which can be regarded as sections of the ReO3 structure type. The infrared spectrum of ReV2O3(P2O7) is reported. An assignment of selected vibrational modes for Re–O and P–O is given.
Magnetic Interactions of the 15‐Electron Nb6F12 Clusters in Nb6F15
Authors: Köhler Jürgen , Simon Arndt , Whangbo Myung‐Hwan 
Published: January 2010

AbstractThe crystal structure of Nb6F15 consists of Nb6F12 clusters that are corner‐shared through linear Nb–F–Nb bridges to form two simple cubic lattices, which interpenetrate each other with F···F van der Waals contacts only. With 15 valence electrons in Nb–Nb bonding states each cluster carries one unpaired spin. 19F NMR and EPR spectroscopic measurements suggest antiferromagnetic ordering in Nb6F15 below 6 K. A spin‐dimer analysis based on tight binding calculations shows that the correct magnetic structure of Nb6F15 associated with this ordering should have the spin arrangement in which two interpenetrating ferromagnetic simple cubic lattices are antiferromagnetically coupled.
Evaluation of Operative Notes Concerning Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Are Standards Being Met?
Authors: Wauben Linda S. G. L. , Goossens Richard H. M. , Lange Johan F. 
Published: January 2010

AbstractBackgroundLaparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the most performed minimal invasive surgical procedure and has a relatively high complication rate. As complications are often revealed postoperatively, clear, accurate, and timely written operative notes are important in order to recall the procedure and start follow‐up treatment as soon as possible. In addition, the surgeon’s operative notes are important to assure surgical quality and communication with other healthcare providers. The aim of the present study was to assess compliance with the Dutch guidelines for writing operative notes for LC.MethodsNine hospitals were asked to send 20 successive LC operative notes. All notes were compared to the Dutch guideline by two reviewers and double‐checked by a third reviewer. Statistical analyses on the “not described” items were performed.ResultsAll hospitals participated. Most notes complied with the Dutch guideline (52–69%); 19–30% of items did not comply. Negative scores for all hospitals were found, mainly for lacking a description of the patient’s posture (average 69%), bandage (94%), blood loss (98%), name of the scrub nurse (87%), postoperative conclusion (65%), and postoperative instructions (78%). Furthermore, notes from one community hospital and two teaching hospitals complied significantly less with the guidelines.ConclusionsOperative notes do not always fully comply with the standards set forth in the guidelines published in the Netherlands. This could influence adjuvant treatment and future patient treatment, and it may make operative notes less suitable background for other purposes. Therefore operative note writing should be taught as part of surgical training, definitions should be provided, and procedure‐specific guidelines should be established to improve the quality of the operative notes and their use to improve patient safety.
RETRACTED ARTICLE: Long‐Term Outcome of Rives–Stoppa Technique in Complex Ventral Incisional Hernia Repair

Published: January 2010

AbstractBackgroundUse of the Rives–Stoppa procedure for ventral incisional hernia repair (RS‐VIHR), in which the prosthesis is placed between the rectus abdominis muscle and the posterior sheath, has diminished reherniation markedly and is the most promising open technique.Materials and methodsOver a 5‐year period 176 open abdominal wall incisional hernia repairs were performed in our department by the Rives–Stoppa technique. The prosthetic material used was Mersilene and the mean follow‐up time was 96 months (range: 62–121 months).ResultsDuring the 5‐year period, 123 women and 53 men with mean age of 50.8 ± 13.3 years (range: 24–79 years) underwent RS‐VIHR. Of these patients, 80 (45.4%) had had a prior VIHR and 18 had undergone multiple previous attempts at repair. Overall postoperative mortality and morbidity were 0 and 10.2%, respectively. The total recurrence rate was 1.1%, which occurred in patients with late prosthetic infection requiring mesh explantation. Except for prosthetic infection there was no correlation between hernia recurrence and age, gender, defect size, position of incision, seroma formation, respiratory complication, or superficial wound infection (p > 0.05).ConclusionsThe Rives–Stoppa repair of complex ventral incisional hernia using a Mersilene prosthesis is a safe and durable technique with excellent long‐term results and minimal serious morbidity, with an overall recurrence rate in the present series of 1.1%. Prosthesis infection requiring mesh explantation might be a risk factor for hernia recurrence.
Food stress sensitivity and flight performance across phosphoglucose isomerase enzyme genotypes in the sooty copper butterfly
Authors: Karl Isabell , Hoffmann Klaus Hubert , Fischer Klaus 
Published: January 2010

AbstractInterest in genetic variation at allozyme loci, especially at phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI), has considerably increased over recent decades. In this study, we investigated variation in food stress sensitivity and flight performance, two traits closely linked to individual fitness, across PGI genotypes in the sooty copper butterflyLycaena tityrus. PGI genotype significantly affected growth rate and pupal mass, but had no overall effect on development time or flight performance. A significant genotype × sex × feeding treatment interaction showed that females from the rarest genotypes showed the strongest increase in development time under food stress. At the same time, these females exhibited the weakest reduction in body mass compared to non food‐stressed individuals, while the most common PGI genotypes showed the highest reduction (significant interaction between genotype and feeding treatment). Such results suggest that effects of food stress on pupal mass may not pose a particularly strong selective pressure inL. tityrus. Generally, sex‐specific differences in and effects of food stress on life‐history traits were as expected, with, e.g., males showing a more rapid development, lower pupal mass and better flight performance than females.
How often do patients ask for the results of their radiological studies?
Authors: Capaccio Enrico , Podestà Andrea , Morcaldi Daniele , Sormani Maria Pia , Derchi Lorenzo Egildo 
Published: January 2010

Abstract

Objectives
To measure how often patients ask directly about their test results at the end of imaging studies.

Methods
A total of 1,171 outpatients underwent ultrasonography (384), CT (382) or MR of the extremities (405). Demographic features including age, sex, educational background, anxiety and type of examination (initial examination vs follow-up) were considered. Statistical analysis was carried out by means of the chi-square test.

Results
Of the 1,171 patients, 525 (45%) asked for information about the results of their studies. Only 88/382 (23%) patients asked after CT; 224/405 (55.3%) asked after MR, and 213/384 (55.5%) asked after US (CT vs US and vs MR p < 0.001). There was a highly significant trend regarding education (36.4% with elementary schooling; 41.5% with intermediate education; 55.1% with higher schooling or university degrees; p < 0.001). No other differences were noted.

Conclusion
We believe these results show the importance of the direct doctor-patient relationship during radiological studies. Communication, time to talk and provision of information are probably the most important things patients want from their doctors. Our study suggests that this is also relevant in radiology and, when given the opportunity to meet the radiologist, patients appreciate the interaction.
The Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale (PIPS) – Statistical properties and model fit of an instrument to assess change processes in pain related disability

Published: January 2010

AbstractRecent developments within CBT have emphasized acceptance rather than control of pain and distress in treatments aimed at improving functioning and life quality, but there is still a lack of reliable and valid instruments to assess relevant processes in such interventions. The Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale (PIPS) was developed to assess target variables in exposure and acceptance oriented treatments. A preliminary validation study resulted in a two‐factor solution with subscales for avoidance and cognitive fusion related to pain, showing satisfactory psychometric properties. This study sought to evaluate the instrument with 611 participants with whiplash associated disorders. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a two‐factor solution with 12 items which showed an acceptable model fit, adequate internal consistencies, and strong relations with criteria variables (e.g. disability and life satisfaction). The construct validity of the instrument was supported by high correlations with subscales from the Chronic Pain Acceptance Questionnaire (CPAQ) and the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK). Notably, hierarchical regression analyses illustrated that PIPS explained more variance than TSK in pain, disability, life satisfaction and depression. Furthermore, PIPS was found to mediate the relationship between e.g. pain and disability, suggesting the usefulness of PIPS as a process measure in treatments of people with chronic pain. Thus, it is argued that this 12‐item version of PIPS may be used to explore the importance of psychological in/flexibility in chronic pain and to analyse processes of change in exposure based interventions, as well as for clinicians in tailoring interventions for patients with chronic debilitating pain.

AbstractBackground: Chronic pain is associated with depression. Self‐treatment of depression with herbal over‐the‐counter medicine St John's wort makes pain patients prone to drug interactions.Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the potential of St John's wort to alter the CYP3A‐mediated metabolism of a μ‐opioid receptor agonist, oxycodone.Methods: The study design was placebo‐controlled, randomized, cross‐over with two phases at intervals of 4 weeks and was conducted with 12 healthy participants. St John's wort (Jarsin®) or placebo was administered t.i.d. for 15 days and oral oxycodone hydrochloride 15 mg on day 14. Oxycodone pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were compared after St John's wort or placebo. Behavioural and analgesic effects were assessed with subjective visual analogue scales and cold pressor test. Plasma drug concentrations were measured from 0 to 48 h, behavioural and analgesic effects from 0 to 12 h.Results: Following St John's wort administration the oxycodone AUC decreased 50% (p < 0.001). Oxycodone elimination half‐life shortened from a mean ± SD 3.8 ± 0.7 to 3.0 ± 0.4 h (p < 0.001). The self‐reported drug effect of oxycodone as measured by AUEC0–12 decreased significantly (p = 0.004). Differences between St John's wort and placebo phases in cold pain threshold and intensity AUEC0–12 were not observed.Conclusions: St John's wort greatly reduced the plasma concentrations of oral oxycodone. The self‐reported drug effect of oxycodone decreased significantly. This interaction may potentially be of some clinical significance when treating patients with chronic pain.
HEAT OPERATORS AND QUASIMODULAR FORMS
Authors: LEE MIN HO 
Published: January 2010

AbstractWe introduce a differential operator on quasimodular polynomials that corresponds to the derivative operator on quasimodular forms. We then prove that such a differential operator is compatible with a heat operator on Jacobi-like forms in certain cases. These results show in those cases that the derivative operator on quasimodular forms corresponds to a heat operator on Jacobi-like forms.
‘LIBEL TOURISM’ AND CONFLICT OF LAWS
Authors: Hartley Trevor C 
Published: January 2010

AbstractThis article considers the problem of ‘libel tourism’ (forum shopping in transnational libel cases) from the point of view of English and EU law (both relevant in certain situations). If proceedings are brought in a forum having no real connection with the case, and if the lex fori is applied, free speech in other countries could be undermined. This is particularly a problem where the case is brought in England, because of the pro-claimant slant of English libel law. The article notes when English conflicts law is applicable and when EU conflicts law is applicable, and explains the English and EU law regarding choice of law, jurisdiction and forum non conveniens in order to assess whether there is a genuine problem. It concludes that there is, particularly with regard to the Internet. Possible solutions are suggested.
ANTITRUST DAMAGES ACTIONS: LESSONS FROM AMERICAN INDIRECT PURCHASERS' LITIGATION
Authors: Cengiz Firat 
Published: January 2010

AbstractThis article aims to draw policy lessons from the American indirect purchasers' litigation experience for the design of the European private antitrust regime in the light of the European Commission's White Paper on damages actions. The article shows that in multi-level polities procedural aspects of antitrust litigation and judicial cooperation are as crucial as the substantive standards for the success of private enforcement regimes. From this perspective the article criticizes the White Paper for the lack of procedural assessment and urges the Commission to give due consideration to procedural standards and mechanisms of judicial cooperation before taking any legislative action.
