description: Technological capabilities vary substantially across European regions. Combining these diverse sets of capabilities is crucial to develop the technologies necessary to master the green and digital transition. However, collaboration between regions is sparse today. To increase inter-regional cooperation, linkages that spur the development of green and digital technologies must be identified. In this study, we provide an overview of inter-regional collaborations already in place and map new opportunities for these between regions. A special emphasis is placed on potential collaborations between economically leading and lagging regions. Our results provide new impetus for policy designs that strengthen regional innovation capabilities and cohesion across Europe’s regions.

description: This article examines the role and activities of the Committee on Public Information (CPI) in mobilizing American public support for the war. As America’s first wartime propaganda agency, the CPI utilized all major media outlets of the day coupled with a sophisticated targeted audience strategy to sell the war to a divided and skeptical nation. The committee’s efforts were aided by a mostly compliant press; harsh government repression and censorship of dissent; and voluntary cooperation from various pro-war domestic groups.

description: We discuss the dynamical effects of bulk viscosity and particle creation on the early evolution of the Friedmann -Robertson -Walker model in the framework of open thermodynamical systems. We consider bulk viscosity and Particle creation as separate irreversible processes. Exact solutions of the Einstein field equations are obtained by using the "gamma-law" equation of state $p=(γ-1)ρ$, where the adiabatic parameter $γ$ varies with scale factor of the metric. We consider the cosmological model to study the early phases of the evolution of the universe as it goes from an inflationary phase to a radiation -dominated era in the presence of bulk viscosity and particle creation. Analytical solutions are obtained for particle number density and entropy for all models. It is seen that, by choosing appropriate functions for particle creation rate and bulk viscous coefficient, the models exhibit singular and non-singular beginnings.

People with disabilities

description: In July 2004, President Bush signed an Executive Order explicitly stating the policy of the United States in the area of emergency preparedness for people with disabilities. The Executive Order built on The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), passed in 1990 “to provide a clear and comprehensive national mandate for the elimination of discrimination against individuals with disabilities” (42 U S .C. 12101[b][1]).

Although the ADA does not address emergency preparedness directly, Titles II and III have clauses that are relevant to emergency preparedness.
Title II: Provides that no qualified individual with a disability shall be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, program s or activities of a public entity. Title III: No individual shall be discriminated against on the basis of a disability in the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities or accommodations of any place of public accommodation. “Public entity” is defined as state and local governments and certain transportation authorities. Thus, emergency services operated by a state or local government cannot discriminate against people with disabilities. Public accommodations are listed in the statute and include hotels, auditoriums, parks, professional offices of health care providers and gymnasiums (CRS, Report for Congress, “The Americans with Disabilities Act and Emergency Preparedness and Response” September 13, 2005). These structures could feasibly be utilized in times of natural or man made disasters.

description: Die chirurgische Resektion sämtlicher Tumorzellen ist die einzige kurative Therapie beim medullären Schilddrüsenkarzinoms (MTC). Über das erforderliche Ausmaß der Lymphknotendissektion wird kontrovers diskutiert. In dieser prospektiven Arbeit wurden die Daten von 65 erstoperierten Patienten mit histologisch gesichertem MTC analysiert. Für alle Patienten erfolgte standardisiert eine totale Thyreoidektomie mit beidseitiger zentraler und lateraler Lymphknotendissektion mit intraoperativem Pentagastrin-Stimulationstest (IOPST) nach Dissektion des jeweiligen Kompartimentes. Bezugnehmend auf das chirurgische Vorgehen wurden die Patienten in 2 Gruppen unterteilt; zentrifugal (ZF) und zentripetal (ZP). In der ZF-Gruppe zeigte der IOPST mit einer Stimulierbarkeit von 115% einen negativen Vorhersagewert von 96% in Bezug auf das noch Vorhandensein von tumorbefallenen Lymphknoten in situ. Die Ergebnisse des IOPST prädizieren das erforderliche Ausmaß der Lymphknotendissektion der lateralen Kompartimente beim zentrifugalen Vorgehen ausreichend zuverlässig, um das Resektionsmaß theoretisch danach auszurichten.
description: Surgical resection of all tumor cells is the only curative therapy for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). The extent of lymph node dissection required is, however, controversial. In this study data from 65 patients with primary surgical therapy with MTC were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent a total thyroidectomy with bilateral central and lateral lymph node dissection with intraoperative Pentagastrin-stimulation test (IOPST) after dissection of the corresponding compartment. Regarding the surgical procedure, the patients were divided into 2 groups; centrifugal (ZF) and centripetal (ZP). In the centrifugal group, the IOPST with a stimulability of 115% presented a negative predictive value of 96% with respect to the presence of tumor-related lymph nodes in situ. The results of IOPST predicted the required extent of lymph node dissection of the lateral compartments in the centrifugal procedure theoretically with adequate reliably.

description: In this work, we present detailed simulations for propagation of ultra-high energy (UHE) heavy nuclei, with E > 60 EeV, within recent Galactic Magnetic Field (GMF) models. We investigate the impacts of the regular and turbulent components of the GMF. We show that with UHE heavy nuclei, there is no one-to-one correspondence between the arrival directions of cosmic rays (CR) measured at Earth and the direction of their extragalactic sources. Sources can have several distorted images on the sky. We compute images of galaxy clusters and of the supergalactic plane in recent GMF models and show the challenges, and possibilities, of "UHECR astronomy" with heavy nuclei. Finally, we present a quantitative study of the impact of the GMF on the (de-)magnification of source fluxes, due to magnetic lensing effects. We find that for 60 EeV iron nuclei, sources located in up to about one fifth of the sky would have their fluxes so strongly demagnified that they would not be detectable at Earth, even by the next generation of UHECR experiments.

description: In nations where literacy was well-established by 1914, letter-writing was critical to the emotional well-being of soldiers and their families. Men in uniform often circumvented the censors and sent home surprisingly frank descriptions of combat. Civilians sent letters and parcels to the front. Parcels provided a welcome supplement to soldiers’ rations, but when food shortages became chronic in Germany and Austria, the scarcity of parcels and the lamenting letters that made their way to the front made soldiers aware of the depth of civilian suffering and contributed to a deterioration of morale in the German and Austrian armies.

description: ISO/IEC 27002:2022 distinguishes between the following types of security controls corrective: preventive, detective and corrective. The focus of this paper is on the support for testing of detective security controls for Industrial Automation and Control Systems. More specifically we will only address the generation of synthetic data that can be used for the detection of selected, advanced detective security controls. The proposed approach will be justified, while a comprehensive validation of the effectiveness of the synthetic data is beyond the scope of this paper. This work aims to contribute to the comprehension and improvement of security measures in Industrial Automation and Control Systems by focusing on the development of synthetic data and its consequences for the identification of specific detective security controls.
Copper requirements and acquisition mechanisms in marine phytoplankton
Creators: name: Guo, Jian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Copper nutrition is essential for the growth of marine diatoms, especially under Fe-limiting conditions. I investigated the physiology of Cu in marine phytoplankton by studying how the Fe and Cu availability interact and control Cu uptake and demand. I used short-lived Cu radioisotopes to determine the Cu requirements and steady-state Cu transport rates (ρssCu) of ten species from three classes of marine phytoplankton, isolated from coastal and oceanic environments. I also determined the Cu uptake kinetics of two marine centric diatoms (Thalassiosira oceanica and T. pseudonana) grown under various Fe and Cu conditions (sufficient and limiting). Furthermore, putative genes encoding potential components of Cu transport and homeostasis were identified in T. pseudonana, and their expression was investigated. Copper had significant effects on growth rates and ρssCu of the oceanic phytoplankton, but not the coastal strains. Although Cu quotas (Cu:C) were not significantly higher in oceanic strains, there were five independent lines of evidence supporting a more important role of Cu in the physiology of oceanic phytoplankton. Distinct biphasic Cu transport rates as a function of Cu concentrations were observed in the centric diatoms, Thalassiosira oceanica and T. pseudonana, suggesting the presence of a high- and a low-affinity Cu transport system. The high-affinity Cu transport system followed Michaelis-Menten saturation kinetics, but was controlled differently by Fe and/or Cu availability. A strong interaction between Fe and Cu nutrition in controlling the expression of genes encoding Cu transport and homeostasis was observed. Most genes, including putative Cu transporters (CTR), Cu transporting P-type ATPases, Cu chaperones and putative Zn transporters in T. pseudonana were up-regulated by low Fe, while low Cu either had no effect or the effect was dependent on Fe availability. These results suggest a complex interaction between Cu and Fe response networks. The function of a putative Cu transporter (CTR) in T. pseudonana was examined using functional complementation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ctr1Δctr3Δmutant. Though the results were inconclusive, various explanations for these findings were discussed. This thesis highlights a complex interaction between Fe and Cu nutrition in marine phytoplankton at the protein and gene expression level.

description: We extended a previous study of the Eaton lens at specific refraction angles to the Eaton lens at any refraction angle. The refractive index of the Eaton lens is complicated and has not analytical form except at a few specific angles. We derived a more accessible form of the refractive index for any refraction angle with some accuracy by retroreflector approximation. The finding of this study will be useful for a rapid estimation of the refractive index, and the the design of various Eaton lenses.

description: Thinning operations play a crucial role in ensuring forest health and sustainability. It strategically removes weaker trees and enhances overall growth by providing more essential resources such as sunlight, nutrients, and water. Small-diameter timber (SDT) is generally a byproduct of thinning operations in natural or plantation forests from either softwood or hardwood species. SDT is characterized by a diameter at breast height (DBH) of less than 9 inches for softwood and 11 inches for hardwood species.Plantation forests contribute significantly to uniform material resources, needed for sustainable timber production. However, using SDT is often challenging because of the high cost of management, thinning operation, and its intrinsic characteristics, such as decreased wood properties due to the presence of juvenile wood and defects. Economic difficulties are especially evident for hardwood plantation owners because of the longer growth period of hardwoods.This study explores feasible methods to enhance the value of hardwood SDT, encouraging its utilization and aiding plantation owners in offsetting management and thinning operations costs before the harvest of large-diameter timber. There are three parts: exploring potential products based on semi-products, conducting a case study by producing school furniture from six walnut SDTs, and providing recommendations for possible production from SDT.Our investigation reveals strategic considerations for future school furniture producers. Establishing sorting and grading criteria, investing in more advanced machinery, producing edge-glued panels from SDT lumber, and having broader ideas for school furniture are pivotal for optimizing the SDT value-added process. The findings suggest that having a plan for the utilization of SDT, considering the recommendations provided, can elevate challenges, optimize strategies, increase the potential value of SDT from plantations, and promote sustainable and profitable use of forest resources.

description: This study examines the reliability and validity of the Evacuation Decision Support Tool (EDST). The EDST is designed to provide healthcare facilities, emergency managers, and other agencies with a systematic process with which to evaluate and guide “evacuation” versus “shelter in place” decision making for a variety of “all hazards” situations. The EDST is comprised of 7 items that assess “threat” and 9 items that measure “consequences” of a situation. The tool was designed to provide users with a decision on whether to remain, prepare, or evacuate from a healthcare facility. To date, there has not been a study that examined psychometric properties of any evacuation decision tool, including the EDST.

description: Recent advances in MgB2 conductors are leading to a new level of performance. Based on the use of proper powders, proper chemistry, and an architecture which incorporates internal Mg diffusion (IMD), a dense MgB2 structure with not only a high critical current density Jc, but also a high engineering critical current density, Je, can be obtained. In this paper, a series of these advanced (or second - generation, "2G") conductors has been prepared. Scanning electron microscopy and associated energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were applied to characterize the microstructures and compositions of the wires, and a dense MgB2 layer structure was observed. The best layer Jc for our sample is 1.07x105 A/cm2 at 10 T, 4.2 K, and our best Je is seen to be 1.67x104 A/cm2 at 10 T, 4.2 K. Optimization of the transport properties of these advanced wires is discussed in terms of B-powder choice, area fraction, and the MgB2 layer growth mechanism.

description: For developing process-oriented capabilities and henceforth advancing digitization, there is a need to structure and formalize the processes in the domain of social services to an extent where it can support social workers. Processes in social services are challenging to model due to their unstructuredness and knowledge-intensity; they require high flexibility from the workers, primarily caused by intensive work with human beings – the clients. Declarative languages like CMMN and ConDec promise to be a solution. Still, they are too complex and overloaded for persons without any experience in modeling to use them in a practical context. In this paper, a specification for a domain-specific modeling language (DSML) is defined to enable representing the process knowledge in the domain by simplifying the language to the domain’s core concepts: (client) goals to be achieved, occurring situations, and actions to be carried out. We applied the modeling language in a German real-world social care organization and elicited models, facilitating a workshop-based approach. The domain experts confirmed the resulting model’s usefulness, especially for guiding, training, and planning purposes.
Interpreting the Marianne Williamson Presidential Phenomenon: "Flakey" Problem

description: With the recent publication by Fisher (2020) of The Marianne Williamson Presidential Phenomenon: Cultural (R)Evolution in a Dangerous Time, the author has noticed patterns of critiques against Williamson and her work, of which are often exaggeratedly mis-placed, stereotypic, and dismissive. In this paper he argues there are more important lessons to learn from her work in order to undermine the critics’ formation of ‘the Other’ in regard to who she is and what she has to offer democracy today and in the future. The labelling of “flakey” is one such criticism that negatively circulates and persists. The author gives examples of this criticism and analyzes how it is oppressive in itself, that is, if there isn’t more than just that label being applied. He also shows how Williamson has responded to this criticism (the author calls, a form of intellectual supremacy) and in some ways she has fed into it. If we want to improve how we relate to each other as all having something to offer to the political sphere, while remaining critical in a healthy civil sense, this paper will demonstrate how to re-vise such labelling and its un-useful results.

description: As intelligent products and services become our new normal, discussions about user needs gain traction. This paper explores the state-of-the-art literature on the intersection of design methodologies and data-intensive software development. Considering 16 papers out of 182 from 2017-2023, the extent to which user-centered approaches have already found their way into data- intensive software development processes was examined. Here, Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), Human-Centered Explainable Artificial Intelligence (HCXAI), and Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI) were identified. Second, existing frameworks and case studies that combine Design Thinking (DT) and AI development were examined. Although DT has been found to be valuable in software development due to its focus on empathy, problem definition, and interdisciplinarity, this paper argues that user-centeredness still falls short and should be considered more consequently, especially in the early stages of development where empathy for the user, the understanding of the problem, and concrete ideas are formed.

description: Latin American countries continued to pursue export-led growth after the First World War. However, the external environment was by then much less favourable. Export growth was therefore modest. Fiscal and financial policies became more orthodox after the war and this, coupled with the disappointing performance of the export sector, made it difficult to promote industry – especially in those countries where it had yet to take root. By the time of the Great Depression, no Latin American country had been able to escape from dependence on primary product exports. The region was therefore very vulnerable to the subsequent collapse of commodity prices.

description: The use of big data research methods has grown tremendously over the past five years in both academia and industry. As the size and complexity of available datasets has grown, so too have the ethical questions raised by big data research. These questions become increasingly urgent as data and research agendas move well beyond those typical of the computational and natural sciences, to more directly address sensitive aspects of human behavior, interaction, and health. The tools of big data research are increasingly woven into our daily lives, including mining digital medical records for scientific and economic insights, mapping relationships via social media, capturing individuals’ speech and action via sensors, tracking movement across space, shaping police and security policy via “predictive policing,” and much more.

description: In der Pathogenese der Atherosklerose scheinen proinflammatorische CD16 positive Monozyten (Mo3) eine Schlüsselrolle einzunehmen. Da regelmäßige körperliche Ertüchtigung die Inzidenz der Atherosklerose reduziert, wurde dessen Einfluss auf die Subgruppenverteilung der Monozyten untersucht. Dafür wurde eine Sportgruppe, mit > 8h Sport pro Woche, versus einer Kontrollgruppe, mit < 2h Sport pro Woche verglichen. Die Analysen zeigten, dass regelmäßiges Training zu einer Umverteilung der Monozytensubpopulationen hin zu nichtinflammatorischen Populationen führt und signifikant die im Atherosklerosegeschehen involvierte Monozytensubpopulation 3 (CD14+CD16++) senkt. Weiterhin wurde die Verteilung der Subpopulationen nach körperlicher Ausbelastung untersucht. Es zeigte sich nach Ausbelastung eine signifikante Abnahme in Mo1 und Zunahme in Mo3. Die Subgruppe Mo2 blieb unverändert. Dieser Effekt ließ sich in beiden Probandenkollektiven (Sport vs. Kontrollgruppe) nachweisen. Genderspezifische Veränderungen waren nicht nachzuweisen.
description: Proinflammatory CD16 positive monocytes (Mo3) seem to play a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Since regular physical exercise reduces the incidence of atherosclerosis, its influence of the subgroup distribution of monocytes was examined. In this study, a group of individuals with more than 8h physical activity per week was compared with a control group with less than 2h of exercise. It could be demonstrated that regular training leads to a change of monocyte subpopulations into non-inflammatory types, with a significant reduction of the monocyte subpopulation 3 (CD14 + CD16 ++), which is involved in the progression of atherosclerosis. Furthermore, the distribution of subpopulations after physical peak performance was examined. Here a significant decrease in Mo1 and increase in Mo3 was shown. Subgroup Mo2 remained unchanged. This effect was demonstrated in both groups of subjects (sport vs. control group). Gender-specific changes were not detected.

description: Australia made a limited contribution to the fields of science and technology during the First World War. Notwithstanding limitations posed by Australia’s great distance from the battlefront and her limited manufacturing capacity, Australians willingly employed their minds and bodies to further the Allied cause. The most practical contributions were made by individual servicemen, university staff, and chemists serving abroad.

description: Diese Veröffentlichung stellt die Grundlagenveranstaltung Informatik für Ingenieure der Technischen Universität Hamburg vor, die für mehrere Ingenieurstudiengänge als Einführung in die Informatik und das Programmieren dient. Dabei ist es wichtig, in welcher Tiefe und Zusammenstel- lung die einzelnen Themeninhalte vermittelt werden. Die Veranstaltung befindet sich – wie viele Hilfsveranstaltungen– im Zielkonflikt zwischen Vermittlung zum tiefgehenden Verständnis weniger Inhalte und breit angelegtem Überblick vieler Inhalte. Somit gibt es zwei Ziele: (1) Studierende sollen mit Informatik-Fachbegriffen umgehen können, (2) Studierende sollen grundlegende Program- mierkenntnisse erwerben. Der finale Leistungsnachweis mit theoretischen und praktischen Inhalten wird mithilfe einer Online-Klausur mit automatisierter Auswertung absolviert. Semesterbegleitende Tutorien und Zwischenprüfung bereiten die Studierenden auf die abschließende Klausur vor. Durch die Herausforderungen für die Veranstaltung ist diese in einem ständigen Wandel. Dieses Papier gibt einen Überblick über die Konzeption der Veranstaltung, die in der Diversität der beteiligten Studiengänge begründeten Herausforderungen und stellt eine automatisierte nicht-klausurspezifische Klausurauswertung zur Verfügung.
Pedestrian Injuries and Fatalities in Nassau County

description: In an effort to identify and describe factors that contribute to the occurrence and severity of pedestrian injuries in Nassau County, the department of health analyzed data on pedestrian injury incidence, hospitalization and fatality. There were 9,284 pedestrian injuries and 299 pedestrian deaths in Nassau County Between 1991 and 2000, for an average of 928 injuries and 30 deaths per year. Annual injury and fatality rates were constant over the 10 year period. Pedestrian incidents accounted for only 2% of all traffic-related injuries, but were responsible for 27% of all traffic-related deaths. Overall there was an increase in pedestrian injuries over the winter months, but children were more likely to be injured in late spring and summer. The average age of an injured pedestrian was 37, but the greatest numbers of injured pedestrians were aged 16. Most injuries occurred during daylight hours, but there was some evidence of an increased risk of fatality at night. 26% of pedestrians injured at intersections were crossing with the signal. There was an association between racial, ethnic and economic variables and the risk of hospitalization for pedestrian injury in a community. A geographic information system was created to identify the sites of multiple pedestrian injuries and fatalities on county roads and to help inform engineering, educational and enforcement efforts

description: How fast can correlations spread in a quantum many-body system? Based on the seminal work by Lieb and Robinson, it has recently been shown that several interacting many-body systems exhibit an effective light cone that bounds the propagation speed of correlations. The existence of such a "speed of light" has profound implications for condensed matter physics and quantum information, but has never been observed experimentally. Here we report on the time-resolved detection of propagating correlations in an interacting quantum many-body system. By quenching a one-dimensional quantum gas in an optical lattice, we reveal how quasiparticle pairs transport correlations with a finite velocity across the system, resulting in an effective light cone for the quantum dynamics. Our results open important perspectives for understanding relaxation of closed quantum systems far from equilibrium as well as for engineering efficient quantum channels necessary for fast quantum computations.

description: This article examines the First World War’s ecological impact and shows that protracted environmental transformations resulted more from expanded industrial modes of production than heavy combat. These developments accelerated nineteenth-century trends. Although battles marred the earth and pictures of devastated landscapes continue to reinforce standard narratives of environmental destruction, the frontlines recovered relatively quickly. Comparing the ecological damage along the Western Front with timber harvesting around the world, tin mining in Malaysia, oil production in Mexico, and wheat farming in the United States and Canada reveals the Great War’s environmental legacy.

Rural Development: Goals, Dynamics, Crises and Recommendations

Community/Rural/Urban Development

description: The continuing transition of rural development from its old to present day form is discussed, treating varied perceptions of its goals and the continuing resolution of approaches through legislation and appropriations. Some of the goals are community development, human resources development, natural resources preservation, and a more equitable distribution of benefits. The rural development dynamics to accomplish these goals include appropriations, the projects developed by State Agricultural Experiment Stations, and community improvement research. The Rural Development Act of 1972, the first concrete legislative commitment for a joint research-extension effort toward solving rural development problems, includes program, for education, research, credit and other financial assistance, and planning. The paper also cites some rural development crises--lack of organization of development efforts, the underdevelopment process and lack of alternatives (especially in relation to the land grant universities), food and energy shortages, and the depletion of natural resources. Overall, though, the assumption is made that despite a slow start and lack of strong viable support, rural development will continue as a program of interest and action for some time to come.

description: Obligat anaerobe Bakterien (OAB) im Sputum von CF-Patienten (CF = zystische Fibrose) wurden als Kontamination aus dem Oropharynx betrachtet. Anaerobe Bereiche im Mucus von CF Patienten stützen die These, dass auch obligate Anaerobier bei der Lungeninfektion eine Rolle spielen könnten. Die Herkunft von OAB aus dem Sputum wurde bislang nicht bewiesen. Die vorliegende Studie identifiziert und quantifiziert OAB im Sputum von CF-Patienten und untersucht mögliche orale Kontamination durch Keimzahlvergleich von Rachenabstrichen und Sputumproben. Bei 86,9% der Patienten wurden OAB identifiziert; am häufigsten S. saccharolyticus (29,6%), Peptostreptococcus spp. (13,9%) und Clostridium spp. (10,4%). Es wurden hohe Keimzahlen der OAB (1,6x 107 ± 3,1x 107 KBE/ml) gezählt. Eine orale Kontamination wurde durch den Vergleich mit Keimzahlen von OAB aus Rachenabstrichen (1,0x 104 ± 1,4x 104 KBE/ml) ausgeschlossen. OAB wurden in hohen Keimzahlen identifiziert. Deren Einfluss auf Inflammationsreaktionen in CF-Patientenlungen ist jedoch weiter unklar und sollte in weiteren Studien exploriert werden.
description: Finding of obligatory anaerobic bacteria (oab) in the sputum of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients were take as contamination from the oropharynx. Alternatively oab could be part of the lung infection in CF. In this study, oab in the sputum are identified and quantified. To evaluate potential oral contamination, bacterial count of the oropharynx and the sputum was compared. Interaction and potential pathogenity of oab were evaluated by comparing growth curves of pr. intermedia and p. aeruginosa alone and in combination. In most CT-patients (86.9%) oab were identified; most common s. saccharolyticus (29.6%), peptostreptococcus spp. (13.9%) and clostridium spp. (10.4%). Bacterial count of oab in sputum was high (1.6x 107 ± 3.1x 107 KBE/ml). Bacterial count of oab of the oropharynx were low (1.0x 104 ± 1.4x 104 KBE/ml), ruling out the theory of oral contamination. A potential better growth of p. aeruginosa in the combined growth with pr. intermedia could be shown. Oab could be identified in high numbers in CF-patients. However, the role of oab for lung infection remains unclear. Additional investigations should evaluate the impact of oab on chronic lung inflammation in CF-patients.
