Adressatenorientierung und Kohärenzherstellung im Text. Zum Zusammenhang kognitiver und sprachlicher realisierter Teilkompetenzen von Schreibkompetenz (2019)

Der Beitrag berichtet die Ergebnisse einer empirischen Studie zum Zusammenhang von kognitiven, sprachlichen und sprachnahen Teilkomponenten der Schreibkompetenz, die als grundsätzlich unabhängig voneinander und auch nicht gebunden an eine bestimmte Textsorte konzipiert sind, so dass sie prinzipiell transferierbar sind. Untersucht werden die Zusammenhänge am Beispiel der beiden Teilfähigkeiten, einen Text adressatenorientiert und kohärent zu verfassen. Das erfordert zum einen die kognitive Fähigkeit zur Perspektivenübernahme, d. h. die Fähigkeit, sich in die Perspektive einer anderen Person zu versetzen, und zum anderen die Fähigkeit, einen Sachverhalt unter logischen, chronologischen oder funktionalen Aspekten aufzufassen und zu strukturieren. Für die empirische Studie wurden von 277 Schüler/innen aus fünften und neunten Klassen die beschriebenen Teilfähigkeiten mit umfangreichen Tests erhoben und korreliert. Dabei zeigte sich, dass die kognitiven Teilfähigkeiten der Perspektivenübernahme und Kohärenzherstellung positiv mit der Schreibkompetenz korrelieren. Didaktisch eröffnet das die Möglichkeit, die Schreibkompetenz auch mit schreibfernen Aufgaben zu schulen. (DIPF/Orig.)

Interaction of Carbocyanine Dyes with DNA: Synthesis and Spectroscopic Studies (2013)

Six carbocyanine dyes have been synthesized and their interactions with DNA have been investigated for their prospective use as fluorescent markers in molecular biology. The noncovalent binding of the compounds with DNA was explored by fluorescence spectroscopy, ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometry, and photobleaching. The electron-withdrawing ability of the substituents in N-position of free thio- and selenocarbocyanines strongly affected their photostabilities. Changes in the experimental conditions, such as the presence or absence of oxygen, had an impact on the rate of photobleaching. In the presence of DNA, absorbance photofading and fluorescence photobleaching occurred. It appears that the reduction of fluorescence intensity was due to quenching of the dye fluorescence by interaction with DNA.

How does the molecular linker in dynamic force spectroscopy affect probing molecular interactions at the single-molecule level? (2016)

Abstract Dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) based on atomic force microscopy, which enables us to obtain information on the interaction potential between molecules such as antigen–antibody complexes at the single-molecule level, is a key technique for advancing molecular science and technology. However, to ensure the reliability of DFS measurement, its basic mechanism must be well understood. We examined the effect of the molecular linker used to fix the target molecule to the atomic force microscope cantilever, i.e., the force direction during measurement, for the first time, which has not been discussed until now despite its importance. The effect on the lifetime and barrier position, which can be obtained by DFS, was found to be ∼10 and ∼50%, respectively, confirming the high potential of DFS.

Growth mechanisms of sulfur‐rich plasma polymers: Binary gas mixtures versus single precursor (2018)

Thiol (SH)‐terminated surfaces have gained interest over the past years due to their potential applications, especially in the biomedical field. In this work, SH‐terminated films have been prepared by “co‐polymerizing” gas mixtures of acetylene (C 2 H 2 ) and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) using low‐pressure r.f. plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition. R.f. power greatly influences the deposition rate, sulfur content, [S], and thiol concentration, [SH], of the films, as confirmed by XPS (both before and after chemical derivatization), FTIR, and mass spectrometry measurements. These data are compared with those obtained in a similar discharge by using a single molecule precursor, propanethiol. Among other differences, it is demonstrated that [SH] is higher when using binary gas mixtures compared to the single molecule precursor.
A Novel Photometric Technique to Detect the Onset of Asphaltene Precipitation at Low Concentrations: The Effect of Maltenes and Water (2004)

Abstract A photometer was utilized to measure the intensity of scattered light in toluene / heptane / asphaltenes mixtures. On the scattering‐intensity versus heptane‐to‐toluene ratio functions, two linear regions can be observed. The intersection of these regions determines the heptane‐to‐toluene ratio at which the precipitation of asphaltenes starts. The onset of asphaltene precipitation was determined as a function of asphaltene concentration in the presence and in the absence of maltenes as well as water. The onset is dependent on the asphaltene concentration. The presence of water promoted while the presence of maltenes inhibited the precipitation of asphaltenes.
COMPARISON OF RECENT METHODS OF ANALYZING HEART RATE VARIABILITY (2000)

We compare three recently applied methods for analyzing heart rate variability: detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), multiresolution wavelet analysis (WAV) and detrended time series analysis (DTS). In the comparison, both scale-dependent and scale-independent measures are considered. In agreement with recent results by Thurner et al., 9 we conclude that scale-dependent measures are well suited to separate healthy subjects from patients with heart disease. However, as regards the use in Kaplan-Meier cumulative survival curves, scale-independent measures (generally slope values) clearly outperform scale dependent measures (generally rms values). The comparison is mainly based on a database containing recordings from 428 patients with heart disease (myocardial infarct) and on a database containing 105 healthy subjects and 11 heart patients.

Active power support of a full-scale converter-based WECS through modular flywheel storage system with DC bus signaling (2017)

The following paper presents a modular system for active power support in wind generators. It works on the base of a Flywheel Energy Storage System (FESS) coupled to the DC link of a medium voltage back-to-back multilevel converter. Two ANPC-5L compose a full-scale converter interface and a third converter tied to the DC link drives a flywheel through an induction machine. All converters have predictive controllers (FCS-MPC) and the charge-discharge management is decoupled from the wind conversion system. It is fully decentralized and does not need any communication with the rest of the system, which provides modular storage capability.
Immune response to sublingual immunotherapy in children allergic to mites. (2012)

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is characterized by Th2 polarized immune response. Specific immunotherapy modifies this arrangement restoring a physiologic Th1 profile. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is widely prescribed, but there is no early marker of response. The aim of this study is to investigate possible marker of SLIT effectiveness. Thirty children with mite allergy were studied: 15 were treated with drugs alone, 15 with SLIT and drugs on demand. The study lasted 2 years. Visual analogue scale (VAS) for symptoms and medication score were evaluated. Serum cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IFN-gamma, MCP-1, and TNF-alpha) were assessed by ELISA before and after 1 and 2 year SLIT. SLIT-treated children obtained a significant improvement of symptoms and a reduction of drug use, whereas children treated with a drug alone did not obtained any change. IL-10 significantly increased, whereas Th2-dependent and pro-inflammatory cytokines significantly decreased. In conclusion, the present study demonstrates that 2-year SLIT is capable of inducing immunologic hyporeactivity to mites.
Conventional Cementless Total Hip Arthroplasty for Hip Osteoarthritis after Distal Trochanteric Transfer: A Report of Two Cases (2020)

Distal trochanteric transfer (DTT) has been widely performed to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip or Perthes disease. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) following DTT in patients with hip osteoarthritis is one of the most challenging procedures for hip surgeons, because great care must be taken regarding anatomical abnormalities of the greater trochanter and the soft tissue attached to the greater trochanter. To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on THA after DTT. We herein report two cases of patients who underwent THA post DTT using cementless components. After THA, both patients developed abduction temporary contraction because of leg length extension and gluteus medius hypertension. However, in both cases, the contraction was reversible within two months and the final clinical result was good. Therefore, THA can be considered an effective and safe choice for treating osteoarthritis after DTT.
The Tampa Trephine Technique with Cat Corneal Endothelium (1997)

The Tampa Trephine (Martin Marietta Speciality Components, Largo, FL, U.S.A.) penetrating keratoplasty technique uses a 7.0-mm corneal donor button with six rectangular 1 x 2-mm tabs of Bowman's layer, 75 microns in thickness, which are inserted into the recipient stroma beneath Bowman's layer. We evaluated the safety of the Tampa Trephine tissue-trephination method on the cat corneal endothelium combining vital staining and scanning electron microscopy, comparing it with the standard Weck trephination technique. The Tampa Trephine tissue trephination produces a donor button with a 6.7-mm diameter central area of normal endothelium. Localized peripheral areas of cellular loss, endothelial and Descemet's tears, endothelial detachment, and folding along the border of the trephination were observed with the Tampa Trephine method, all located in an area of < or = 150 microns, adjacent to the edge of the button. Standard trephination induced a localized peripheral area of endothelial damage < 50 microns in extension from the donor edge. A theoretic maximal 8.4% peripheral endothelial cell loss is induced with the Tampa Trephine trephination method, compared with a 2.8% loss with the standard procedure. The peripheral location of the alterations after the Tampa Trephine does not hinder the viability of the corneal endothelium, as it has been clinically observed.

Modulation and effects of surface groups on photoluminescence and photocatalytic activity of carbon dots (2013)

To demonstrate the effects of surface atoms on photoluminescence (PL) and photocatalytic activities of luminescent carbon dots (CDs), we design and tailor the surface groups of CDs with heteroatoms by a facile and effective approach. The coexistence of O and N radicals in CDs results in strong PL while CDs containing O and Cl radicals show high photocatalytic activity. This is attributed to the different degrees and directions of energy band bending from inner to surface induced by O, N, and Cl radicals at the surface of CDs. The coexistence of both upward and downward band bending that are caused by the O and Cl radicals, respectively, in CDs is similar to an internal electronic field that facilitates the separation of electron-hole pairs and carrier migration, leading to high photocatalytic activity. These results may also be used for designing and tailoring optical-electronic properties of carbon nanostructures.

Recurrent Deletions of Puroindoline Genes at the GrainHardnessLocus in Four Independent Lineages of Polyploid Wheat (2007)

Abstract Polyploidy is known to induce numerous genetic and epigenetic changes but little is known about their physiological bases. In wheat, grain texture is mainly determined by the Hardness (Ha) locus consisting of genes Puroindoline a (Pina) and b (Pinb). These genes are conserved in diploid progenitors but were deleted from the A and B genomes of tetraploid Triticum turgidum (AB). We now report the recurrent deletions of Pina-Pinb in other lineages of polyploid wheat. We analyzed the Ha haplotype structure in 90 diploid and 300 polyploid accessions of Triticum and Aegilops spp. Pin genes were conserved in all diploid species and deletion haplotypes were detected in all polyploid Triticum and most of the polyploid Aegilops spp. Two Pina-Pinb deletion haplotypes were found in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum; ABD). Pina and Pinb were eliminated from the G genome, but maintained in the A genome of tetraploid Triticum timopheevii (AG). Subsequently, Pina and Pinb were deleted from the A genome but retained in the Am genome of hexaploid Triticum zhukovskyi (AmAG). Comparison of deletion breakpoints demonstrated that the Pina-Pinb deletion occurred independently and recurrently in the four polyploid wheat species. The implications of Pina-Pinb deletions for polyploid-driven evolution of gene and genome and its possible physiological significance are discussed.
La récente découverte d'une installation de l'Antiquité tardive sur le site d'Ambrussum (Villetelle, Hérault). 2 - Etude des vestiges fauniques (1998)

The remnants of the fauna in the 4th century A. D. in the lower part 0/Ambrussum include some bones coming from the Vertebrate and shells coming from marine molluscs. They help understanding how the sediments they are issued from were formed : these sediments are backfills mixing parts of bodies ofEquidaes and of a large cat with food remains either from domestic species , ovine and caprine race, swine, cattle, hen, or from wild species, stag, rabbit, partridge, oysters. The set of oyster shells mainly includes the Lopha stentina species which seems to be identified for the first time in the area and which attests the exploitation of a natural deposit.
Glycosylation (2005)

Abstract Glycosylation is an enzymatic process in which sugars are added to other molecules to produce a glycosylated product. The major classes of enzymes that catalyze the process of glycosylation are transferases that use sugar nucleotide and lipid‐linked sugar donors. Examples of the products of glycosylation reactions are glycoproteins, glycolipids, glycosaminoglycans, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Glycosylation reactions occur in all animals, plants, fungi, and microorganisms. In animals, glycosylation reactions occur mainly in the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and the plasma membrane. Glycans are important in many aspects of cellular and developmental regulation, and defects in glycosylation in humans and animals result in developmental abnormalities and embryonic death. Glycosylation is a common and essential process in all organisms.

Expression of the major insulin regulatable glucose transporter (GLUT4) in skeletal muscle of noninsulin-dependent diabetic patients and healthy subjects before and after insulin infusion. (1993)

In a cross-sectional study we have examined the regulatory effect of insulin in vivo on the major insulin regulatable glucose transporter (GLUT4) in vastus lateralis muscle from 12 noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients and 8 healthy control subjects. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake rate in peripheral tissue was decreased by 41% (P < 0.01) in NIDDM patients compared to healthy subjects, whereas no significant differences could be shown in the abundance of total GLUT4 protein per DNA or GLUT4 messenger RNA (mRNA) per DNA among the 2 groups in muscle biopsies obtained in the basal state. In healthy subjects, 4 h of insulin infusion (2 mU/kg/min) induced a 31% reduction (P < 0.05) in the total GLUT4 protein content per DNA and a 35% increase (P < 0.05) in GLUT4 mRNA per DNA, whereas the GLUT4 mRNA and protein responses to insulin were heterogenous and statistically unaltered in the NIDDM patients. The GLUT4 protein per DNA of muscle obtained in the basal state correlated positively with the in vivo insulin-stimulated glucose uptake rate in the control group (r = 0.82, P < 0.05), whereas there was no comparable correlation in the NIDDM group (r = 0.05, P = 0.88). Furthermore, GLUT4 protein content in skeletal muscle after 4 h of insulin infusion did not correlate with insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in any of the groups. In conclusion, 4 h of insulin infusion causing supraphysiological serum insulin levels modulates the expression of GLUT4 in skeletal muscle from healthy subjects, with divergent effects at protein and mRNA levels. The physiological significance of these observations will have to be elucidated in future studies. Factors other than total GLUT4 protein content of muscle play a role in determining insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in human skeletal muscle.
The Use of a New Diode Laser for Hair Removal (2003)

This study supports the clinical photoepilatory efficiency of a new 810-nm diode laser in producing 70% clinical hair removal efficiency at 6 months. Histopathologic evaluation suggests that this decrease in hair counts is probably secondary to heat trauma to the follicular epithelium, resulting in complete follicular destruction and stopping of anagen phase.
Harzianic Acid has multi-target antimicrobial activity against Gram-Positive Bacteria (2021)

Abstract The thermophilic fungus Oidiodendron flavum is a saprobe that is commonly isolated from soil. Here, we identified a Gram-positive bacteria-selective antimicrobial secondary metabolite from this fungal species, harzianic acid (HA). Using Bacillus subtilis strain 168 combined with several assays, we found that HA targeted the cell membrane, though only at high concentrations. To further study the antimicrobial activity of HA, we isolated an HA-resistant strain, Bacillus subtilis strain M9015, and discovered that the mutant has more translucent colonies, has cross resistance to rifampin, and harbors five mutations in the coding region of four distinct genes. Further analysis of these genes indicated that the mutation in atpE might be responsible for the translucency of the colony, and mutation in yusO for resistance to both HA and rifampin. We conclude that HA is a multi-target antimicrobial agent against Gram-positive bacteria.
Efficacy of O,O-Diaryl O-n-Propyl Phosphorothionates Against Root-knot Nematode, Meloidogyne incognita (2004)

Twenty new O,O-diaryl O-n-propyl phosphorothionates were tested in vitro for nematicidal activity against 2nd stage juveniles of Meloidogyne incognita. Out of these, eight which showed good activity were evaluated under glass-house conditions on sunflower. Three promising compounds were further evaluated on cowpea. These compounds have considerably increased the plant growth characters and significantly reduced the number of galls on the roots of sunflower and cowpea. O,O-Di (2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) O-n-propyl phosphorothionate and O,O-di (pentachlorophenyl) O-n-propyl phosphorothionate were found most promising against M. incognita showing better nematicidal activity than triazophos.
