description: For the majority of Africans this war was a European war. However, it was also a time when colonial rulers tightened their grip on Africans. More Africans than ever before were forced to work for Europeans and many never returned. The fighting devastated large parts of East Africa. People died from hunger, diseases spread, and many people became refugees. Prophecies of the end of the world (preceded by an end of colonial rule) became a major way to reflect on the war. Dances and songs provided other means to deal with the experience of violence and displacement, but also encounters with the wider world.

description: We derive an expression for the heavy quark damping rate in hot quark gluon plasma in presence of flow. Here all the bath particles here are out of equilibrium due to the existence of non-zero velocity gradient. The magnetic sector shows similar infrared divergences even after hard thermal loop corrections as one encounters in case of non-viscous plasma. We estimate the first order correction in ($η/s$) for heavy quark damping rate due to the non-zero viscosity of the QCD plasma.

Performance modelling and automated algorithm design for NP-hard problems
Creators: name: Xu, Lin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: In practical applications, some important classes of problems are NP-complete. Although no worst-case polynomial time algorithm exists for solving them, state-of-the-art algorithms can solve very large problem instances quickly, and algorithm performance varies significantly across instances. In addition, such algorithms are rather complex and have largely resisted theoretical average-case analysis. Empirical studies are often the only practical means for understanding algorithms’ behavior and for comparing their performance. My thesis focuses on two types of research questions. On the science side, the thesis seeks a in better understanding of relations among problem instances, algorithm performance, and algorithm design. I propose many instance features/characteristics based on instance formulation, instance graph representations, as well as progress statistics from running some solvers. With such informative features, I show that solvers’ runtime can be predicted by predictive performance models with high accuracy. Perhaps more surprisingly, I demonstrate that the solution of NP-complete decision problems (e.g., whether a given propositional satisfiability problem instance is satisfiable) can also be predicted with high accuracy. On the engineering side, I propose three new automated techniques for achieving state-of-the-art performance in solving NP-complete problems. In particular, I construct portfolio-based algorithm selectors that outperform any single solver on heterogeneous benchmarks. By adopting automated algorithm configuration, our highly parameterized local search solver, SATenstein-LS, achieves state-of- the-art performance across many different types of SAT benchmarks. Finally, I show that portfolio-based algorithm selection and automated algorithm configuration could be combined into an automated portfolio construction procedure. It requires significant less domain knowledge, and achieved similar or better performance than portfolio-based selectors based on known high-performance candidate solvers. The experimental results on many solvers and benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed prediction methods achieve high predictive accuracy for predicting algorithm performance as well as predicting solutions, while our automatically constructed solvers are state of the art for solving the propositional satisfiability problem (SAT) and the mixed integer programming problem (MIP). Overall, my research results in more than 8 publications including the 2010 IJCAI/JAIR best paper award. The portfolio-based algorithm selector, SATzilla, won 17 medals in the international SAT solver competitions from 2007 to 2012.
Actual and perceived decline of fishery resources in Turkey and Cyprus : a history with emphasis on shifting baselines
Creators: name: Ulman, Aylin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: The FAO global statistics on fisheries catches is an important tool used to track overall patterns, as it represents the only global account of fisheries catch records from all member countries. However, the database is only as complete as the data sent to them by member countries, which often lack catch amounts from non-commercialized sectors. The aim here for Chapters 2 and 3 were to comprehensively account for total fisheries removals for Turkey and Cyprus from 1950-2010, by estimating catches for previously unaccounted sectors, using best available data. It was found that the total reconstructed catch for Turkey was about 80% higher (33 million t) than the 18.4 million t reported to FAO during the period from 1950 to 2010. The total reconstructed catch for Cyprus was about 2.6 times higher (243,000 t) than the 93,200 t reported to FAO for Cyprus for the same period, which thus excluded catches from the north of the country from 1974 to 2010. For Chapter 4, using total reconstructed catches and annual fleet dynamics statistics, total effort and Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) were calculated for Turkey as a whole, and each of its seas. Next, from field survey results from Turkey and Cyprus, each fisher’s ratio of initial to current CPUE and perceived change in resource abundance was computed for their career span, according to sector. Lastly, the two trends in ratio of initial to current CPUE and perceived change in resource abundance were compared to determine if ‘shifting baselines’ had occurred. For Turkey as a whole total effort increased by over 700% from 25 million kW days in 1967 to nearly 190 million kW days in 2010, while CPUE declined by about 380% from nearly 16 kg•kW¹•day-¹ in 1967 to 4 kg•kW-¹•day-¹ in 2010. Shifted baselines were evident in all but two surveyed sectors (i.e., the bottom trawlers of Turkey, and artisanal fishers of South Cyprus). The artisanal and recreational sectors of Turkey experienced the most severe changes, with declines in CPUE of about 40 times since about 1950.
Numerical reconstruction of the covariance matrix of a spherically truncated multinormal distribution

description: In this paper we relate the matrix $S_B$ of the second moments of a spherically truncated normal multivariate to its full covariance matrix $Σ$ and present an algorithm to invert the relation and reconstruct $Σ$ from $S_B$. While the eigenvectors of $Σ$ are left invariant by the truncation, its eigenvalues are non-uniformly damped. We show that the eigenvalues of $Σ$ can be reconstructed from their truncated counterparts via a fixed point iteration, whose convergence we prove analytically. The procedure requires the computation of multidimensional Gaussian integrals over a Euclidean ball, for which we extend a numerical technique, originally proposed by Ruben in 1962, based on a series expansion in chi-square distributions. In order to study the feasibility of our approach, we examine the convergence rate of some iterative schemes on suitably chosen ensembles of Wishart matrices. We finally discuss the practical difficulties arising in sample space and outline a regularization of the problem based on perturbation theory.

Abstract:

The celebrations in the hundredth anniversary of the death of Pope Pio X, follow after a short time the thirtieth anniversary of the current Code. With this paper the Author has the aim to clarify the law thought of Pio X. His influence in the beginning of the codification process is analyzed pointing out the choice of model, collection or codex, which should assume the reformatio iuris and the framework of the his work, by the means of a critical examination of the debates among the cardinals and the councilors during the preparation of theCodex iuris canonici. The comparison among the different working groups shows the originality of the idea of the developing work and moreover of the  law, especially in relation to the opportunity of planning a general part in the Code and to set systematically the treatise de sacramentis. The deep syntony between the pastoral concern of Pio X and John Paul II is clear looking at the publication of the post-Conciliar Code.

description: In dieser Arbeit wurde gezeigt, dass mit der spinpolarisierten Rastertunnelmikroskopie (spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (Sp-STM)) eine wohldefinierte Komponente der Spinpolarisation in der Ebene der Probenoberfläche mit einer hohen lateralen Auflösung (mindestens 1nm) abgebildet werden kann. Als Rasterelektrode wurde ein ferromagnetischer Ring eingesetzt. Die Methode des Sp-STM wurde genutzt, um die Spinanordung von antiferromagnetischen Oberflächen zu untersuchen. Der Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit ist die Abbildung von dünnen, lagenweise antiferromagnetischen Mn und Cr Filmen, die sich im direkten Kontakt zu einem ferromagnetischen Fe(001) Substrat befinden. In den Sp-STM Bildern ist die antiferromagnetische Ordnung von aufeinanderfolgenden Mn beziehungsweise Cr Lagen an der Oberfläche deutlich sichtbar. An der Oberfläche von Mn Filmen auf Fe(001) wurden magnetisch frustrierte Bereiche gefunden. Diese Bereiche, in denen die magnetische Ordnung gestört ist, wurden durch das Vorhandensein von atomaren Stufen an der Grenzfläche zwischen Film und Substrat erklärt.
description: In this work, it was shown that spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (Sp-STM) can be used to image one well-defined in-plane component of the spin polarization of a sample surface with high lateral resolution. This was achieved by the proper choice of a Sp-STM electrode, namely a ring. The capability of the Sp-STM was used to measure the spin arrangement of antiferromagnetic surfaces with a high lateral resolution of at least 1 nm. The main part of this work deals with the investigation of thin layer-wise antiferromagnetic ordered Mn films which are in direct contact to a ferromagnetic Fe(001) substrate. In addition, measurements were performed on thin layer-wise antiferromagnetic ordered Cr films on Fe(001). In the Sp-STM images, clearly the layer-wise antiferromagnetic order of adjacent Mn and Cr layers is visible. Magnetically frustrated regions were found at the surface of Mn films on Fe(001). These frustrations are caused by the interface roughness between Mn and Fe.
The targum (1962:Sept. 11 - 1962:Sept. 28)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1962

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
Continuity of the Maximum-Entropy Inference

description: We study the inverse problem of inferring the state of a finite-level quantum system from expected values of a fixed set of observables, by maximizing a continuous ranking function. We have proved earlier that the maximum-entropy inference can be a discontinuous map from the convex set of expected values to the convex set of states because the image contains states of reduced support, while this map restricts to a smooth parametrization of a Gibbsian family of fully supported states. Here we prove for arbitrary ranking functions that the inference is continuous up to boundary points. This follows from a continuity condition in terms of the openness of the restricted linear map from states to their expected values. The openness condition shows also that ranking functions with a discontinuous inference are typical. Moreover it shows that the inference is continuous in the restriction to any polytope which implies that a discontinuity belongs to the quantum domain of non-commutative observables and that a geodesic closure of a Gibbsian family equals the set of maximum-entropy states. We discuss eight descriptions of the set of maximum-entropy states with proofs of accuracy and an analysis of deviations.

description: An application of the ideas of the inertial confinement fusion process in the case of particles interacting at high energy is investigated. A possibility of the gas-liquid transition in the gas is considered using different approaches. In particular, a shock wave description of interactions between particles is studied and a self-similar solution of Euler's equation is discussed. Additionally, Boltzmann equation is solved for self-consistent field (Vlasov's equation) in linear approximation for the case of a gas under external pressure and the corresponding change of Knudsen number of the system is calculated.

Corrosion behavior of galvanized steel reinforcements in MSE walls in the presence of soil organics
Creators: name: Soriano Vazquez, Claudia Aide
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Mechanically Stabilized Earth is a civil infrastructure technology that is widely used in retaining walls. Although the structures are designed for a service life of 75 years, early distress has been reported. Corrosion of the galvanized steel reinforcements has been pointed as one of the major causes that jeopardize their long-term performance. The corrosion behavior of galvanized steel in the presence of organics found in soil is studied through electrochemical techniques as PDP, EIS and LPR in two types of solutions at various concentrations below 1 wt%. The first type of solutions aims to determine the corrosion behavior in the presence of individual organic reagents: humic acid, dextrose, citric acid and oxalic acid. The second type of solutions is prepared with a system that combines the organic reagents in proportions that simulate the typical composition of organic matter in soil and is called Simulated Soil Organic Matter (SSOM). Subsequently, the surface is analyzed using SEM and EDX. The data shows that the corrosion effect of organic matter on galvanized steel depends on its composition. The comparison of the highest current density produced by the individual organics, allows ranging them in terms of their aggressiveness on galvanized steel in the following order: citric acid > oxalic acid > humic acid > dextrose. The Simulated Soil Organic Matter was able to corrode the zinc coating and the base steel.
Strukturaufklärung von Biomolekülen mit Hilfe der mehrdimensionalen Kernspinresonanz: Proteine aus der Signaltransduktion und der Regulation von Zellkernprozessen
Creators: name: Bayer, Peter
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Sachsen-Anhalt
Year: 2000

description: Primäres Ziel der Arbeit war die Strukturaufklärung von Proteinen, die wichtige Aufgaben bei der Signaltransduktion (APC, WASP, Rlf, Amyloid, SUMO) übernehmen oder Vorgänge im Zellkern regeln (SUMO, U1A, APC). Alle diese Moleküle sind an der Bildung von Makromolekülkomplexen (Protein-Protein oder Protein-RNA) beteiligt. Mit der Bestimmung der dreidimensionalen Struktur der Biopolymere und ihrer Wechselwirkungspartner sollten noch offene biochemische und medizinische Fragestellungen geklärt oder neue gezielte molekularbiologische Experimente in Aussicht gestellt werden. Die ausgewählten Proteinstrukturen nehmen Schlüsselstellungen in der Signaltransduktion und der anschließenden Umsetzung des Signals im Zellkern ein: Sie erfüllen neurotrophe Aufgaben durch Rezeptorbindung (Amyloid), dienen als Effektoren "molekularer Schalter" (Rlf) oder als Mediatoren der Tumorsuppression (APC), beeinflussen die Ausbildung des Cytoskeletts (WASP), sind Vermittler des Kerntransports (SUMO) oder Regulatoren der RNA-Prozessierung (U1A). Anhand dieser ausgewählten Beispiele werden Startegien aufgezeigt, wie der Einsatz der Kernspinresonanz, trotz erheblich großen Molekulargewichts einzelner Proteine oder Proteinkomplexe, zu Aussagen über Struktur oder Bindungseigenschaften von Molekülen herangezogen werden kann. Wo notwendig, wurden neue Techniken weiterentwickelt oder verbessert (U1A).
description: Object of the efforts was the structure determination of key proteins involved in signal transduction (APC, WASP, Rlf, Amyloid, SUMO) and in regulation of processes occuring in the cell nucleus (SUMO, U1A, APC). All of these proteins take part in the formation of complexes of macromolecules (protein-protein and protein-RNA). Elucidation of the three-dimensional structure of these biopolymers and their interacting partners should help to find solutions for still unexplained medical problems, at the same time addressing new important questions to biochemists. The selected molecules play key roles in signal transduction events and in converting the stimuli into protein regulated processes in the cell nucleus: They take part in neurotrophic events mediated though receptor binding (Amyloid), serve as effectors of molecular switches (Rlf) or have tumor suppressive properties (APC). They are involved in maintaining the cytoskeleton (WASP), in cellular transport across membranes (SUMO) and in RNA-processing (U1A). These examples are selected to demonstrate strategies how to use NMR for the determination of molecules and their complexes of high molecular weight and for the extraction of information about protein binding properties. Where necessary, new techniques were developed or improved (U1A).

description: Cannon, Floyd, and Parry have studied subdivisions of the 2-sphere extensively, especially those corresponding to 3-manifolds, in an attempt to prove Cannon's conjecture. There has been a recent interest in generalizing some of their tools, such as extremal length, to higher dimensions. We define finite subdivision rules of dimension n, and find an n-1-dimensional finite subdivision rule for the n-dimensional torus, using a well-known simplicial decomposition of the hypercube. We hope to expand on this and find finite subdivision rules for many higher-dimensional manifolds, including hyperbolic n-manifolds.

description: Nowadays hybrid evolutionary algorithms, i.e, heuristic search algorithms combining several mutation operators some of which are meant to implement stochastically a well known technique designed for the specific problem in question while some others playing the role of random search, have become rather popular for tackling various NP-hard optimization problems. While empirical studies demonstrate that hybrid evolutionary algorithms are frequently successful at finding solutions having fitness sufficiently close to the optimal, many fewer articles address the computational complexity in a mathematically rigorous fashion. This paper is devoted to a mathematically motivated design and analysis of a parameterized family of evolutionary algorithms which provides a polynomial time approximation scheme for one of the well-known NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, namely the "single machine scheduling problem without precedence constraints". The authors hope that the techniques and ideas developed in this article may be applied in many other situations.
Optimizing the loading of vitamin A and vitamin D into re-assembled casein micelles and investigating the effect of micellar complexation on vitamin D stability
Creators: name: Loewen, Anisa Joy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Food products may be fortified with vitamins A and D as public health intervention strategies. However, vitamin instability is a problem during storage before and after addition to foods. Re-assembled casein micelles (rCM) are reported to be effective carriers of hydrophobic compounds providing enhanced stability. The aim of this research was to form rCM with high loading of vitamin A palmitate (VA) or vitamin D₃ (VD). The protection given to VD by rCM was compared to that given by the controls composed of the re-assembly components not in micellar form, and to commercial vitamin products (CWS D₃, AD premix). Stability was investigated during storage of dry powders and of fortified skim milk exposed to light. Response surface methodology was employed to ascertain the influence of phosphate, citrate and calcium on vitamin loading during CM re-assembly, and to identify optimal vitamin loading conditions. Average optimal VD loading of 14.0 or 15.1 mg VD/g casein was found at 4.9 or 10.5 mM phosphate, 4.0 mM citrate and 26.1 mM calcium, respectively. VA loading was optimal at 9.7 mM phosphate, 5.5 mM citrate and 30.0 mM calcium, resulting in 14.7 mg VA/g casein. Significantly more vitamin was retained in VD-rCM powders than control powders during storage at 37°C and 75% relative humidity for 48 and 72 hours. Additionally, loss of VD was not significantly different in VD-rCM powders compared to CWS D₃ during storage at 37°C and 75% relative humidity. Significantly more VD was retained in VD-rCM powders than control powders when stored at ambient temperature and humidity for up to 42 days. Retention of VD in skim milk fortified using different formulations and exposed to light for 21 days conformed to the following order: CWS D₃ > VD-rCM L, CD > AD premix. In conclusion, response surface methodology was an effective tool to optimize vitamin loading of rCM. Stability of VD was improved by incorporation into rCM for some storage conditions. Protection may depend on the physical state of the VD-rCM and on the applied stress.

description: Superconducting circuits with Josephson junctions are promising candidates for developing future quantum technologies. Of particular interest is to use these circuits to study effects that typically occur in complex condensed-matter systems. Here, we employ a superconducting quantum bit (qubit),a transmon, to carry out an analog simulation of motional averaging, a phenomenon initially observed in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. To realize this effect, the flux bias of the transmon is modulated by a controllable pseudo-random telegraph noise, resulting in stochastic jumping of the energy separation between two discrete values. When the jumping is faster than a dynamical threshold set by the frequency displacement of the levels, the two separated spectral lines merge into a single narrow-width, motional-averaged line. With sinusoidal modulation a complex pattern of additional sidebands is observed. We demonstrate experimentally that the modulated system remains quantum coherent, with modified transition frequencies, Rabi couplings, and dephasing rates. These results represent the first steps towards more advanced quantum simulations using artificial atoms.

description: Collaboration networks provide a method for examining the highly heterogeneous structure of collaborative communities. However, we still have limited theoretical understanding of how individual heterogeneity relates to network heterogeneity. The model presented here provides a framework linking an individual's skill set to her position in the collaboration network, and the distribution of skills in the population to the structure of the collaboration network as a whole. This model suggests that there is a non-trivial relationship between skills and network position: individuals with a useful combination of skills will have a disproportionate number of links in the network. Indeed, in some cases, an individual's degree is non-monotonic in the number of skills she has--an individual with very few skills may outperform an individual with many. Special cases of the model suggest that the degree distribution of the network will be skewed, even when the distribution of skills is uniform in the population. The degree distribution becomes more skewed as problems become more difficult, leading to a community dominated by a few high-degree superstars. This has striking implications for labor market outcomes in industries where production is largely the result of collaborative effort.

description: Η πανδημία του Covid-19 έφερε ξανά στο επίκεντρο του ενδιαφέροντος τις ευέλικτες μορφές απασχόλησης ως μια προσπάθεια αποτροπής της εξάπλωσης της πανδημίας στους εργασιακούς χώρους, προσφέροντας ένα περιβάλλον ασφάλειας για τους εργαζόμενους αλλά και ένα τρόπο συνέχισης της οικονομικής δραστηριότητας που δέχτηκε ισχυρό πλήγμα από την πανδημία. Η πρωτοφανής έκταση και ένταση της πανδημίας οδήγησαν σταδιακά ολοένα και περισσότερους εργαζομένους παγκοσμίως να απασχολούνται από το σπίτι, ανοίγοντας κατά τον τρόπο αυτό ένα καινούργιο κεφάλαιο πρόσβασης στην αγορά εργασίας, εκείνο της εργασίας από απόσταση. Η τηλεργασία ως σύγχρονη έκφανση της ψηφιακής εποχής δίνει την απαραίτητη ώθηση στη Δημόσια Διοίκηση να γίνει αποδοτικότερη ακόμα και σε απρόβλεπτες καταστάσεις. Εξάλλου η υγειονομική κρίση, αποτέλεσε εφαλτήριο όχι μόνο για την επαναπροσέγγιση αυτής της μορφής απασχόλησης αλλά και για την ανάδειξη των δομικών της πλεονεκτημάτων και θέτει προ των πυλών την θεσμοθέτηση της στον Δημόσιο τομέα. Στις σελίδες που ακολουθούν γίνεται μία προσπάθεια προσέγγισης και αποτύπωσης του φάσματος της τηλεργασίας και των παραμέτρων της, ιδίως κατά την εφαρμογή της στην Ελληνική Δημόσια Διοίκηση όπου βρίσκεται σε πρώιμο στάδιο.

description: We study an interference network where equally-numbered transmitters and receivers lie on two parallel lines, each transmitter opposite its intended receiver. We consider two short-range interference models: the "asymmetric network," where the signal sent by each transmitter is interfered only by the signal sent by its left neighbor (if present), and a "symmetric network," where it is interfered by both its left and its right neighbors. Each transmitter is cognizant of its own message, the messages of the $t_\ell$ transmitters to its left, and the messages of the $t_r$ transmitters to its right. Each receiver decodes its message based on the signals received at its own antenna, at the $r_\ell$ receive antennas to its left, and the $r_r$ receive antennas to its right. For such networks we provide upper and lower bounds on the multiplexing gain, i.e., on the high-SNR asymptotic logarithmic growth of the sum-rate capacity. In some cases our bounds meet, e.g., for the asymmetric network. Our results exhibit an equivalence between the transmitter side-information parameters $t_\ell, t_r$ and the receiver side-information parameters $r_\ell, r_r$ in the sense that increasing/decreasing $t_\ell$ or $t_r$ by a positive integer $δ$ has the same effect on the multiplexing gain as increasing/decreasing $r_\ell$ or $r_r$ by $δ$. Moreover---even in asymmetric networks---there is an equivalence between the left side-information parameters $t_\ell, r_\ell$ and the right side-information parameters $t_r, r_r$.

Fremont Figurines: Corporeality and Communication

Publisher: name: NN
Year: 2003
Subjects: Conservation

description: This article examines a prehistoric representation of the human body and what that body signals about the progenitor culture, the Fremont peoples of Utah in the 13th century. In this article a quantitative, contextual, and stylistic analysis is applied to 443 anthropomorphic Fremont figurines. Based on context and attribute examination, two style technologies have been delineated, the Formative and the Classical. The Classical figurines are more ornate and likely to be found in meaningful archaeological contexts. Applying the theory of the communications process suggests that the Classical figurines may have been agents that emitted a prototypical power to receiving Fremont peoples. Today, the figurines communicate about Fremont peoples’ bodies and ritual movements. In addition, stylistic, temporal, and spatial parallels exist between the Classical figurines and katsina representations known from Hopi archaeology, ethnography, and oral tradition.

description: Die vorliegende Studie vergleicht in dem Zeitraum vom März 2000 bis Mai 2001 erstmals verschiedene Risikomarker in einem Patientenkollektiv von 70 Patienten mit akutem Myokardinfarkt, welches ausschließlich mittels PCI behandelt wurde. Dabei sollte prospektiv die prognostische Wertigkeit von NT-proBNP mit anderen Indikatoren verglichen werden. Entsprechend wurden ANP-, NT-proBNP-, BNP-, IL-6- und CRP-Spiegel zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten während des stationären Aufenthaltes gemessen und nachfolgend bezüglich ihrer prognostischen Vorhersage der 28-Tage-Letalität verglichen. Zusätzlich erfolgte ein Vergleich mit dem bereits etablierten APACHE-IIScore. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass auch in der multivariaten Analyse Patienten mit einem deutlich erhöhten NT-proBNP-Wert eine ungünstigere Prognose hatten als jene mit nur mäßig erhöhten Werten. Dabei erfolgte die Einteilung der Patienten anhand ihrer NT-proBNP-Spiegel in 3 Tertile. Eine signifikant erhöhte Letalität fand sich bei Patienten der 3. Tertile. Die Überlegenheit des NT-proBNP im Vergleich zum BNP hängt dabei vermutlich mit dem schnelleren Anstieg nach dem Stimulus durch das Infarktereignis, der längeren Plasma-Halbwertszeit sowie der stärkeren Abhängigkeit des NT-proBNP von weiteren Faktoren der Mortalität, wie Alter und Nierenfunktion, zusammen. Auch für das in der vorliegenden Studie untersuchte Patientenkollektiv konnte eine gute prognostische Wertigkeit des bereits in anderen Studien etablierten APACHE-IIScores gezeigt werden.
description: This study compares different risk markers in 70 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with primary PCI in our hospital from March 2000 to May 2001. The goal of the study was to compare the short term prognostic information (28 day mortality) of NT-pro-BNP with other markers. At predefined times ANP-, NT-proBNP-, BNP-, IL-6- and CRP-plasma-levels were measured during hospitalization and their short term prognostic value was compared with the APACHE-II-Score. The patients were dichotomized using the 1. , 2. and 3. tertile, because there were no differences in outcome in patients assigned to the 1. and 2. tertile of N-BNP at 28 days follow up, the groups were merged into 1 group for survival statistical analysis. Multivariate analysis showed that an increased level of NT-pro-BNP was independently associated with short term mortality. The superiority of NT-pro-BNP as a prognostic marker compared with BNP is probably due to quicker increase of plasma levels after myocardial infarction, longer plasma half-life and stronger correlation with age and kidney function. We also found the APACHE-II-Score to be an excellent prognostic marker for short term mortality in our patient, as was previously shown in other studies.
Poultices and mortars for salt contaminated masonry and stone objects

description: The success of measures to reduce the salt content of contaminated objects by application of poultices depends on several factors: experiences with different poultice materials, with modifications of their application and with the influence of the specific conditions. Some of these critical factors are the admixture of different clay minerals to the poultice, surface sealing and pre-wetting. Hints for an enhancement of the efficiency of desalination are derived from case studies and from laboratory experiments. Tests to achieve further enhancement of desalination efficiency by applying electrical potential or by addition of water from the backside are described.
A sensitive treatment of a salt contaminated painting on wooden panel is also presented. The second part of the paper is concerned with the suitability of different mortar systems for repointing or rendering. The pros and cons of cementitous mortars of high porosity and reduced capillarity versus hydraulic lime mortars with high capillarity are discussed in the light of practical experiencein building preservation and maintenance. Porous cementitious mortars with waterrepellent admixtures have frequently been used over the last 30 years. If moisture supply from the masonry is low, they can maintain an intact surface for a long time. Several cases are discussed where new damage occurred after a couple of years. An alternative is the use of lime mortar which works as sacrificial mortar or plaster.
Due to its high capillarity moisture and salt aresoaked into the lime mortar which ultimately deteriorates by salt crystallization. If the strength of the lime mortar is enhanced by natural hydraulic components or by compaction during application the service life time of such a hydraulic lime mortar can reach decades even with extreme salt load.
Research on desalination poultices and on lime mortars in the last two decades, as well as practical experience, have led to a wide variety of materials for desalination and building maintenance. A thorough analysis of the specific situation and the careful
