Wege in die Nachfolge Christi (2006)

Die Bettelorden der Franziskaner und Dominikaner sahen sich ab 1250 gezwungen, ihre Existenz und ihre Aktivitäten in Predigt und Theologie zu rechtfertigen. Konservative Kreise im französischen Klerus und unter den Professoren der Universität Paris nahmen daran Anstoß, dass die Mendikanten, anders als die herkömmlichen Monasterien, Seelsorgsaufgaben übernahmen, die über den Rahmen der Pfarreien und Diözesen hinausgingen. Daraus entwickelte sich ein Konflikt zwischen der lokalen Jurisdiktion der Bischöfe und der universalen Rechtsgewalt des Papstes. Schauplatz dieser Auseinandersetzungen war die Universität Paris, an der unterdessen Franziskaner und Dominikaner Lehrstühle erlangt hatten, deren Rechtmäßigkeit von den Konkurrenten bestritten wurde. Grund für diesen heftigen Streit war, dass man es als unerhörte Neuerung empfand, dass Ordensleute an öffentlichen Institutionen lehrten. Mit dem traditionellen Mönchtum schien das unvereinbar zu sein. In diesen auf hohem intellektuellen Niveau ausgefochtenen Kontroversen spielte der 1252 von Köln nach Paris berufene Thomas von Aquin eine herausragende Rolle, die in der hier vorgestellten Studie im einzelnen untersucht wird. Das zentrale Dokument ist die vom Autor analysierte Schrift des Aquinaten Contra impugnantes (1255), die zugleich Apologie und Programm ist, in dem sich das Selbstverständnis einer neuen Elite mit neuen Aufgaben in der Kirche artikuliert. Das Buch ist zunächst ein Beitrag zu einem wichtigen Thema der Frömmigkeitsgeschichte, dann aber auch eine Untersuchung zu den Fundamenten der überaus folgenreichen Armuts- und Bettelordensbewegung. Entstanden ist eine genetische Darstellung aller mit der Existenz und der Funktion des Dominikanerordens verbundenen Themen, wie es sie bisher noch nicht gab.
Electron correlation, basis sets, and the methylene singlet–triplet gap (1987)

The effect of basis set and electron correlation on the singlet–triplet splitting (ΔEST) of CH2 is examined using the generalized valence bond (GVB) approach. For a standard double zeta plus polarization basis, the GVB based calculation (with only 20–25 spin eigenfunctions) approaches the full CI result (∼220 000 spin eigenfunctions) of Bauschlicher and Taylor to within 0.5 kcal/mol for this basis, but both differ substantially from experiment (errors of 2.4 and 2.9 kcal/mol for GVB and full CI, respectively). We have studied the convergence of ΔEST with basis set and find that an extremely extended basis (triple zeta sp, diffuse sp, triple zeta d, double zeta f ) for GVB yields ΔEST=9.03 kcal/mol, in excellent agreement with the experimental value of 9.09±0.20 kcal/mol.
Effect of Fluorination on the Properties of a Donor–Acceptor Copolymer for Use in Photovoltaic Cells and Transistors (2013)

Two novel indacenodithiophene (IDT) based donor–acceptor conjugated polymers for use in organic field effect transistors and photovoltaic devices are synthesized and characterized. The effect of inclusion of two fluorine atoms on the acceptor portion of the polymer is thoroughly investigated via a range of techniques. The inductively withdrawing and mesomerically donating properties of the fluorine atoms result in a decrease of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), with little effect on the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) as demonstrated through density functional theory (DFT) analysis. Inclusion of fluorine atoms also leads to a potentially more planar backbone through inter and intrachain interactions. Use of the novel materials in organic field effect transistor (OFET) and organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices leads to high mobilities around 0.1 cm2/(V s) and solar cell efficiencies around 4.5%.
CALCIUM FERTILIZATION AND CULTIVAR AFFECT WATERMELON RIND THICKNESS AND RESILIENCY (1990)

Three cultivars of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus), `Crimson Sweet', `Charleston Gray' and `Tri-X Seedless' were grown in combination with 4 levels of soil applied calcium (0, 280, 560, 1120 kg Ca/ha). Gypsum was incorporated into 6 m plots on 5 m centers then covered with black plastic mulch. Irrigation requirements were provided through a M-wall drip system and soil water status monitored with tensiometers. Transplants were spaced 1.2 m apart in-row spacing allowing for 5 plants per plot and replicated times. Rind tissue from mature watermelon fruit was divided into 4 sections, blossom-end, middle top, grounds spot and stem end. Each section was measured for resistance to shear and puncture by a Model T-1200-G texture and tenderometer system. Thickness was also measured. Lab determinations for total and extractable calcium on the sections was done to determine if there is a relationship between rind resiliency and calcium concentration. Data will be presented et the meeting.
Improved context modeling for coding quantized transform coefficients in video compression (2010)

Recent investigations have shown that the support of extended block sizes for motion-compensated prediction and transform coding can significantly increase the coding efficiency for high-resolution video relative to H.264/AVC. In this paper, we present a new context-modeling scheme for the coding of transform coefficient levels that is particularly suitable for transform blocks greater than 8 × 8. While the basic concept for transform coefficient coding is similar to CABAC, the probability model selection has been optimized for larger block transforms. The proposed context modeling is compared to a straightforward extension of the CABAC context modeling; both schemes have been implemented in a hybrid video codec design that supports block sizes of up to 128 × 128 samples. In our simulations, we obtained overall bit rate reductions of up to 4%, with an average of 1.7% with the proposed context modeling scheme.
The role of neoadjuvant denosumab in the treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts: a case series and review of the literature (2022)

The use of denosumab in unresectable ABCs can cause calcification and devascularization, making safe resection more likely.
Handover Reduction via Mobility-Prediction-Based VPON Formation in Optical-Access-Enabled Cloud-RAN (2015)

Next-generation radio-access networks will experience excessive handover due to shrinking cell sizes (to support more users) and increasing user mobility. We form Virtual Passive Optical Network (VPON) using mobility-prediction information to reduce handovers in CRAN.

Angular Stability Margins for the Remote Fusion Cutting Process (2015)

The set of incident angles, that yields stable cuts when conducting remote fusion cutting (RFC), is of great importance when scheduling multiple cuts on a work piece. This is due to their ability to determine how much the laser beam can be moved by angling the cutting head instead of translating it. This paper investigates how the stability of the RFC process is affected by changing the incident angle when processing stainless steel sheets. This investigation was conducted as an experimental study in which the angle of incidence was decomposed into a work angle and a travel angle. The stability was evaluated by an automatic procedure based on images acquired by a programmable microscope and a computer vision algorithm developed in MATLAB. The results showed that the stability of the RFC process was dependent on the work and the travel angle. It was also seen that a coherent region of stable incident angles could be found. All experiments were conducted with a 3 kW single mode fiber laser at the laser processing laboratory at Aalborg University.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Clinical Evaluation of Patellar Resurfacing with Press-Fit Osteochondral Autograft Plugs (2008)

Background Autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) has been successfully used in the femoral condyle and trochlea and is an attractive treatment option for full-thickness patellar cartilage lesions. Hypothesis Patients treated with AOT for the repair of symptomatic, isolated patellar cartilage lesions will demonstrate improvement in functional outcomes and postoperative magnetic resonance imaging appearance. Study Design Case series; Level of evidence, 4. Methods Between 2002 and 2006, patients with focal patellar cartilage lesions treated with AOT were prospectively followed. The mean age at the time of surgery was 30 years. Clinical assessment was performed with the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), activities of daily living of the Knee Outcome Survey (ADL), and Short Form-36 (SF-36) at baseline and most recent follow-up. Magnetic resonance imaging was used to evaluate the cartilage repair morphologic characteristics in 14 cases. Results Twenty-two patients met the study criteria with a mean follow-up of 28.7 months (range, 17.7–57.8 months). The mean Patellar lesion size was 165.6 ± 127.8 mm and the mean size of the donor plug was 9.7 ± 1.1 mm in diameter with 1.8 ± 1.4 Plugs/defect. The mean preoperative IKDC score was 47.2 ± 14.0 and improved to 74.4 ± 12.3 ( P = .028). The mean preoperative ADL score was 60.1 ± 16.9 and increased to 84.7 ± 8.3 ( P = .022). The mean SF-36 also demonstrated an improvement, from 64.0 ± 14.8 at baseline to 79.4 ± 15.4 ( P = .059). Nine patients underwent concomitant distal realignment and demonstrated improvement between preoperative and postoperative outcomes scores, but these differences were not statistically significant. Magnetic resonance imaging appearance demonstrated that all plugs demonstrated good (67%–100%) cartilage fill, 64% with fissures &lt;2 mm at the articular cartilage interface, 71 % with complete trabecular incorporation, and 71 % with flush plug appearance. Conclusion Patellar AOT is an effective treatment for focal patellar chondral lesions, with significant improvement in clinical follow-up. This study suggests that patients with patellar malalignment may represent a subset of patients who have a poor Prognostic outlook compared with patients with normal alignment.
Effect of Salmonella infection on cecal tonsil regulatory T cell properties in chickens (2015)

Two studies were conducted to study regulatory T cell [Treg (CD4⁺CD25⁺)] properties during the establishment of a persistent intestinal infection in broiler chickens. Four-day-old broiler chicks were orally gavaged with 5 × 10⁶ CFU/mL Salmonella enteritidis (S. enteritidis) or sterile PBS (control). Samples were collected at 4, 7, 10, and 14 d postinfection. There was a significant (P < 0.05) increase in the number of CD4⁺CD25⁺ cells by d 4 postinfection that increased steadily throughout the course of the 14-d infection, whereas the number of CD4⁺CD25⁺ cells in the noninfected controls remained steady throughout the study. CD4⁺CD25⁺ cells from cecal tonsils of S. enteritidis-infected birds had a higher (P < 0.05) IL-10 mRNA content than CD4⁺CD25⁺ cells from the noninfected controls at all time-points studied. The amount of IL-2 mRNA content in the cecal tonsil CD4⁺CD25⁻ cells from the infected birds did not differ (P > 0.05) when compared to that of noninfected control birds. At a lower effector/responder cell ratio of 0.25:1, CD4⁺CD25⁺ cells from cecal tonsils of Salmonella-infected birds suppressed T cell proliferation at d 7 and 14 post-S. enteritidis infection, while CD4⁺CD25⁺ cells from noninfected control groups did not suppress T cell proliferation. In the second studu, 1-day-old chickens were orally gavaged with PBS (control) or 1.25 × 10⁸ CFU/bird S. enteritidis. At 7 and 21 d post-Salmonella infection, CD25⁺ cells collected from cecal tonsils of S. enteritidis-infected birds and restimulated in vitro with Salmonella antigen had higher (P < 0.05) IL-10 mRNA content compared to those in the control group. Spleen CD4⁺CD25⁺, CD4⁺, and CD8⁺ cell percentage did not differ (P > 0.05) between the Salmonella-infected and control birds. In conclusion, a persistent intestinal S. enteritidis infection increased the Treg percentage, suppressive properties, and IL-10 mRNA amounts in the cecal tonsils of broiler birds.
Assessment of the Čerenkov light produced in a PbWO4 crystal by means of the study of the time structure of the signal (2008)

On beam tests were carried out on PbWO4 crystals. One of the aims of this work was to evaluate the contribution of the Čerenkov component to the total light yield. The difference in the timing characteristics of the fast Čerenkov signals with respect to the scintillation ones, which are emitted with a decay time of about 10 ns, can be exploited in order to separate the two proportions. In this paper we present the results of an analysis performed on the time structure of signals, showing how it is possible to detect and assess the presence and the amount of Čerenkov light. Since Čerenkov light is emitted only by the electromagnetic component of a hadronic shower, its precise measurement would allow to account for one of the dominant sources of fluctuations in hadronic showers and to achieve an improvement in the energy resolution of a hadronic calorimeter.
Effect of FSH and Testosterone Propionate on Spermatogenesis in Immature Rats Treated with Clomiphene (1967)

The effects of testosterone propionate (TP) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) on the completion of the first wave of spermatogenesis in rats treated with clomiphene are reported. Clomiphene in doses of 250 μg/day beginning on day 22 inhibits spermatogenesis at the primary spermatocyte stage. Treatment of clomiphene-fed rats with small doses of TP (200 μg/day) advanced spermatogenesis to the early spermatid stage (step 7), while follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH, 75 μg/day) had no appreciable effect on the completion of spermiogenesis. However, a combined treatment of the two hormones synergized at these dose levels to advance spermatogenesis to completion within 30 days of the initiation of treatment. The dose of TP (200 μg/day alone) which inhibits pituitary gonadotropins in immature rats is ineffective in advancing spermatogenesis, while in clomiphene-fed rats a high dose of TP (0.5 or 1 mg/day) by itself facilitates the progress of spermatogenesis to completion. Testicular weights were restored to normal levels only by treatment of clomiphenefed rats with a synergistic dose of 75 μg/day of FSH and 1 mg/day of TP. These results are discussed in relation to the role of gonadotropic hormones and androgen in the initiation and maintenance of testicular function. (Endocrinology81: 965, 1967)
Data-driven sensitivity analysis in surface structure determination using total-reflection high-energy positron diffraction (TRHEPD) (2021)

The present article proposes a data analysis method for experimentally-derived measurements, which consists of an auto-optimization procedure and a sensitivity analysis. The method was applied to the results of a total-reflection high-energy positron diffraction (TRHEPD) experiment, a novel technique of determining surface structures or the position of the atoms near the material surface. This method solves numerically the partial differential equation in the fully-dynamical quantum diffraction theory with many trial surface structures. In the sensitivity analysis, we focused on the experimental uncertainties and the variation over individual fitting parameters, which was analyzed by solving the eigenvalue problem of the variance-covariance matrix. A modern massively parallel supercomputer was used to complete the analysis within a moderate computational time. The sensitivity analysis provides a basis for the choice of variables in the data analysis for practical reliability. The effectiveness of the present analysis method was demonstrated in the structure determination of a Si4O5N3 / 6H-SiC(0001)-(3×3) R30∘ surface. Furthermore, this analysis method is applicable to many experiments other than TRHEPD.

Novel approaches to the diagnosis of basal cell nevous syndrome (2002)

In 1960, Robert James Gorlin and William Goltz, both American physicians, defined a new syndrome. Little did they realize that 40 years later, the pathways involved in its development would be provoking serious and sustained interest amongst a plethora of specialists. Fruit-fly biologists, oncologists, geneticists, dermatologists, indeed, hardly a medical or dental specialist gets excluded. To date, there have been some major breakthroughs in identifying abnormal gene sequences. Much has been discovered about this syndrome and its pivotal role in a number of cancer pathways but much more waits to be done or explained. This article sets out to discuss the current position and aims to stimulate further work on this intriguing and puzzling disorder.
Stereochemical studies on the cytochrome P-450 catalyzed oxidation of (S)-nicotine to the (S)-nicotine .DELTA.1'(5')-iminium species (1987)

Mammals metabolize the tobacco alkaloid (S)-nicotine primarily to the lactam (S)-cotinine by a pathway involving an initial cytochrome P-450 catalyzed two-electron oxidation at the prochiral 5'-carbon atom. The stereochemical course of this oxidation was examined with human microsomal preparations and the E and Z diastereomers of (S)-nicotine-5'd1. The metabolically generated delta 1'(5')-iminium ion intermediate was trapped and analyzed as the corresponding diastereomeric 5'-cyano derivatives by a capillary column GC-EIMS selected ion monitoring assay. The results of these studies established that this biotransformation proceeds with the stereoselective abstraction of the 5'-pro-E proton, that is, the C-5' proton trans to the bulky pyridyl group. The observed stereoselectivity was independent of proton vs. deuteron abstraction. Additionally, the extent of (S)-cotinine formation was minor and did not influence the stereochemical composition of the metabolically derived alpha-cyano amines. Studies with male Dutch rabbit liver microsomal preparations gave similar results. These findings suggest that the structure of the complex formed between (S)-nicotine and the active site of cytochrome P-450 is highly ordered and dictates the stereochemical course of the reaction pathway.
Characterization of the Natural History of Extracellular Matrix Production in Tissue-Engineered Vascular Grafts during Neovessel Formation (2011)

&lt;i&gt;Background:&lt;/i&gt; The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a critical determinant of neovessel integrity. &lt;i&gt;Materials and Methods:&lt;/i&gt; Thirty-six (polyglycolic acid + polycaprolactone and poly lactic acid) tissue-engineered vascular grafts seeded with syngeneic bone marrow mononuclear cells were implanted as inferior vena cava interposition grafts in C57BL/6 mice. Specimens were characterized using immunohistochemical staining and qPCR for representative ECM components in addition to matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Total collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) contents were determined. MMP activity was measured using zymography. &lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;/i&gt; Collagen production on histology demonstrated an initial increase in type III at 1 week followed by type I production at 2 weeks and type IV at 4 weeks. Gene expression of both type I and type III peaked at 2 weeks, whereas type IV continued to increase over the 4-week period. Histology demonstrated fibrillin-1 deposition at 1 week followed by elastin production at 4 weeks. Elastin gene expression significantly increased at 4 weeks, whereas fibrillin-1 decreased at 4 weeks. GAG demonstrated abundant production at each time point on histology. Gene expression of decorin significantly increased at 4 weeks, whereas versican decreased over time. Biochemical analysis showed that total collagen production was greatest at 2 weeks, and there was a significant increase in elastin and GAG production at 4 weeks. Histological characterization of MMPs showed abundant production of MMP-2 at each time point, while MMP-9 decreased over the 4-week period. Gene expression of MMP-2 significantly increased at 4 weeks, whereas MMP-9 significantly decreased at 4 weeks. &lt;i&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/i&gt; ECM production during neovessel formation is characterized by early ECM deposition followed by extensive remodeling.
Elastooptical properties of SiON layers in an integrated optical interferometer used as a pressure sensor (1994)

This work presents the design and realization of an integrated optical pressure sensor, which is based on the photoelastic birefringence of thin SiO/sub 2/ and SiON layers. The advantage of this well known and controlled silicon technology is that optical and electronic circuits as well as micromechanics can be integrated on the same substrate. The sensor is made of a monomode striploaded Mach-Zehnder interferometer, which is placed on a silicon membrane as the pressure sensitive region. The detector is integrated into the silicon substrate, because a wavelength below 1 /spl mu/m(He-Ne laser source: 632.8 nm) is used. Experimental and theoretical results of the sensor response are presented that demonstrate that efficient sensors can be designed and fabricated and that the TM-polarization gives the higher sensitivity.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>

How to Get Hit on the Head and Laugh About It: Humor in the Formation of Self (2012)

Students come to a university for many reasons, but rarely would one say that one of those reasons is to tell (or listen to) jokes. But I think humor can be much more central to students’ educational experience than they, or we, realize. This paper explores what role humor might play in the academic identities of university students. It does not call on teachers to begin telling jokes as a way of engaging students with course material. Rather, it asks teachers to recognize how comedic activities and identities that seem to undercut traditional classroom decorum can be necessary to intellectual development.
