Life Cycle Analysis of Cars - Experiences and Results (1995)

<div class="htmlview paragraph">An important cornerstone of our society is the individual mobility which, today, chiefly can only be offered by the automobile. However, in the industrial countries the car at the same time is exposed to harsh criticism as far as environmental pollution is discussed.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Goal of this presentation is to show a scientific method by means of which environmental loads during manufacture, use and utilization/disposal of whole systems - in this special case vehicles - can be quantified and optimized. In order to do this, the instrument of life cycle analysis of parts and processes is used and in the same way the scientific method is developed beyond the level of literature. Due to these modifications the results are only useful if the boundary conditions are mentioned in detail.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">Considerations on the system such as the examination of an automobile require a method extended by essential criteria due to its complexity. Possibilities are presented which help to describe the product life cycle of an automobile, sufficiently accurate by careful examination of the main parameters such as material, material intensity and fabrication procedures.</div> <div class="htmlview paragraph">As demonstrated on a small car, an automobile of upper standard and a train respective ways of action are shown and results of a system analysis are represented. As regards automobiles various weak points exist. On the one hand these are specific parameters during manufacture and on the other hand during the utilization phase the fuel consumption and its production. The track-bound traffic shows disadvantages if the generation of current is unfavorable. Therefore optimization potentials are to be seen in the field of fuel efficiency and its underlying factors as well as in the field of electricity supply.</div>
35. Diagnosis of Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage on Surgical Treatment (1962)

On the basis of our own experiences in 12 cases of intracranial aneurysms , 8 cases of arterio-venous anomalies, 5 cases of carotid-cavernous fistulae and 1 case of combined aneurysm and arterio-venous anomaly, neurological symptomatology, diagnosis, surgical treatment and late complication were discussed.
Antioxidant Properties of Phytoestrogens (1999)

The oxidation of lipids is an autocatalytic process consisting of a number of well-defined interrelated chemical reactions. Its importance has long been recognized in the food and polymer industry, and recent advances in the understanding of vascular diseases have shown that lipid peroxidation also contributes to human disease. The various chemical stages of the reaction offer several therapeutic targets for inhibition, and from the structural characteristics of phytoestrogens it is anticipated that they should exhibit antioxidant properties. Alone, it is not sufficient for compounds such as the phytoestrogens to exhibit biological activity as antioxidants; the criteria that should be satisfied for this mechanism to be relevant biologically are discussed.

Breakdown probabilities for thin heterostructure avalanche photodiodes (2003)

The recurrence theory for the breakdown probability in avalanche photodiodes (APDs) is generalized to heterostructure APDs that may have multiple multiplication layers. The generalization addresses layer-boundary effects such as the initial energy of injected carriers as well as the layer-dependent profile of the dead space in the multiplication region. Reducing the width of the multiplication layer serves to both downshift and sharpen the breakdown probability curve as a function of the applied reverse-bias voltage. In structures where the injected carriers have an initial energy that is comparable to the ionization threshold energy, the transition from linear mode to Geiger-mode is more abrupt than in structures in which such initial energy is negligible. The theory is applied to two recently fabricated Al <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.6</sub> Ga <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">0.4</sub> As-GaAs heterostructure APDs and to other homostructure thin GaAs APDs and the predictions of the breakdown-voltage thresholds are verified.
Plasma Exchange--Associated Immunoglobulin M--Negative Hantavirus Disease after a Camping Holiday in Southern France (2004)

A 37-year-old Belgian patient presented with acute nephropathia epidemica (NE) shortly after a camping holiday in southern France. Unusual symptoms were initial noncardiogenic lung involvement, followed by severe acute renal failure, acute acalculous cholecystitis, presence of immunoblasts in the bone marrow, and hemolytic anemia, presenting as hemolytic uremic syndrome. Positive immunoglobulin (Ig) A and rising IgG titers against Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) were detected, but IgM remained negative on days 8 and 20. The results of reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction performed on day 8 were positive for PUUV. This is the first report of an iatrogenically IgM-negative hantavirus case due to the selective removal of heavy-weight molecules during plasma exchange via the centrifugation technique. This is also the first report of proven NE from the Mediterranean part of France.
Mesoscopic Metal Particles and Wires by Electrodeposition (2002)

The electrodeposition of metal onto a low energy electrode surface like graphite or H-terminated silicon produces mesoscopic metal particles that are broadly distributed in diameter. Broad size distributions are observed even in cases where the nucleation of metal is temporally controlled. For this reason, electrodeposition has been infrequently used as a means for obtaining metal nanostuctures. The central problem is the diffusional "cross-talk" that exists between neighboring metal nanostructures on the electrode surface. Evidence for this diffusional interparticle coupling is encoded into particle size and position distributions obtained from experimental data and from Brownian Dynamics computer simulations of nanostructure growth. Diffusional cross-talk between nanostructures can be turned off using either of two growth strategies described in this paper. These methods permit the size-selective electrodeposition of metal nanoparticles and nanowires that are narrowly distributed in diameter.
A Brief Look at Pairings Based Cryptography (2007)

This note provides a brief summary of how a new algebraic tool, bilinear groups, is transforming public-key cryptography. For the examples mentioned, the best solutions without bilinear groups either do not exist or are far less efficient. Many of the systems discussed in this note were implemented by Lynn [45] in a software library freely available under the GPL.
High-speed pattern projection for three-dimensional shape measurement using laser speckles (2010)

We propose a high-speed projection system that is able to project statistical speckle patterns at a rate of 500Hz. Its purpose is to generate structured light for a real-time photogrammetry stereo vision setup. As conventional digital light projector (DLP) projection setups are limited in their maximum projection rate to 250Hz for gray-value patterns, stripe projection systems are usually applied for real-time three-dimensional (3D) measurements. However, these techniques can only be used on steady surfaces as phase unwrapping has to be done. In contrast, the proposed setup is able to measure the shape of multiple spatially separated objects at once. We compare the speckle setup with a system using a DLP projector and with other fast 3D shape measurement setups, like the widely used stripe projection methods, qualitatively and quantitatively.
Comparative analysis of two compact and highly efficient resonant switched capacitor converters (2018)

In this paper we compare two resonant switched capacitor converters in which the resonant inductor can be placed in series with a resonant capacitor (AC side), conducting a sinusoidal current, or it can be placed in series with the input source (DC side), conducting rectified sinusoidal current. Both resonant converters have the same voltage gain, and although the change in the position of the resonant inductor is, at first glance, of minor importance, the analysis and results show that it has huge impact on the capability to achieve ZVS transitions at low output power and on the inductor design and power losses. The experimental results show that for circuit with the resonant inductor in the AC side, the ZVS transitions produce an effective switching frequency significantly higher than the resonant frequency which forces the implementation of cycle skipping at light loads. The difference between the power losses in these two approaches is between 3W and 5W. The prototype implemented for the experiments provides up to 4.5kW with 33.3W power loss (99.3% efficiency). In the case of light load (1.5kW) power losses are only 8.25W (η=99.45%). Its power density is higher than 65kW/dm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> .
ARC++: effective typestate and lifetime dependency analysis (2014)

The ever-increasing reliance of today's society on software requires scalable and precise techniques for checking the correctness, reliability, and robustness of software. Object-oriented languages have been used extensively to build large-scale systems, including Java and C++. While many scalable static analysis approaches for C and Java have been proposed, there has been comparatively little work on the static analysis of C++ programs. In this paper, we provide an abstract representation to model C++ objects, containers, references, raw pointers, and smart pointers. Further, we present a new analysis called lifetime dependency analysis, which allows us to precisely track the complex lifetime semantics of temporary objects in C++. Finally, we propose an implementation of our techniques and present promising %experimental results on a large variety of open-source software.
ORTAP: An Offset-based response time analysis for a pipelined communication resource model (2013)

This work addresses the challenge of computing worst-case response times of hard real-time applications deployed on multiprocessor systems. In particular, the worst-case response time analysis (WCRTA) focuses on the communication between distributed tasks of hard real-time applications. The proposed WCRTA models the communication as a pipelined communication resource model. This model incorporates the effect of pipelining, and the parallel transmission of data. Applications of such a model include multiprocessor systems that use complex interconnects such as network-on-chips (NoC)s with priorities. In this paper, we present an exponential analysis, and a polynomial analysis, and prove its correctness. As an application, we apply the pipelined communication resource model to priority-aware NoCs, and we compare the proposed analyses against prior analysis techniques. Our experimental evaluation on two instances of 4 × 4 and 8 × 8 NoCs with 512,000 synthetic benchmarks shows 48.3% and 66.7% improvement in schedulability for the two NoC sizes over prior work.
Dipyridamole-induced interferon production in mouse peritoneal leukocytes. (1985)

The in vitro explanted mouse peritoneal leukocytes were used for the optimization of the dipyridamole-induced interferon production. After 90-120 min incubation of cells with 30-100 microM dipyridamole, the production of interferon reached 6.4 X 10(4) IU/ml. It was demonstrated that the interferon production phase is preceded by the dipyridamole-dependent increase in cAMP concentration. The possibility of cAMP involvement in the mechanism of interferon production is being discussed.
The Structure of M-Gtfi, An Inhibitor of Glucosyltransferase from <i>S. Mutans</i> , And Its Inhibitory Relationship with Other Sulfate Ester-Containing Inhibitors (1989)

M-GTFI, an inhibitor of glucosyltransferase from S. mutans was produced by Micromonospora narashinoensis strain No. 731. The isolation procedure for M-GTFI was improved and established for spectroscopic analyses, and some properties of the inhibitor were investigated. The structure of M-GTFI was shown to be trisodium [2-sulphonato-(E)-9-undecenyll-oxacyclotriacont-(E)-3- en-2-one, 16, 18-bis sulphonate. The chemical structure of M-GTFI was therefore similar to that of izumenolide which is a beta-lactamase inhibitor containing sulfate ester groups in its molecule. The inhibitory characteristics of M-GTFI were parallel to that of other inhibitory compounds containing sulphate esters but the spectrum of activity was wider.
<title>Optical gain and laser action in rhodamine-doped solid state PT-ORMOSIL composites</title> (1993)

Optical gain and photostability have been investigated for several orange/red rhodamine laser dyes (RLDs) doped in the polydimethylsiloxane and tetraethoxysilane derived organically modified silicate (PT-ORMOSIL) composites. The RLDs in PT-ORMOSILs exhibit gain and stability comparable to those in methanol solution while substantially better than in the PMMA matrix. Broadband laser oscillations have been achieved in a free-running resonator with Rh610/PT-ORMOSIL as the gain medium. The lasing threshold and slope efficiency are found to be approximately 8 (mu) J and approximately 30%, respectively.
Genetic Association Analysis of Functional Impairment in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (2006)

Polymorphisms in several genes seem to be associated with COPD-related traits other than FEV(1). These associations may identify genes in pathways important for COPD pathogenesis.
Tuning refractive index sensing properties of micro-cavity in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometer with plasma etching (2017)

This work presents an application of reactive ion etching (RIE) for an effective tuning of the spectral response and the refractive-index (RI) sensitivity of the micro-cavity in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometer (μIMZI). The μIMZIs were fabricated using femtosecond laser micromachining in a standard single-mode fiber as a form circular holes with a diameter of 54 μm. The application of RIE with SF<sub>6</sub> and O<sub>2</sub> used as reactive gas allows for an efficient and well controlled etching of the fabricated structure. The process resulted in cleaning the bottom of the micro-cavity and smoothening of its sidewalls. In transmission measurements, the effect of the plasma processing was observed as an increase in both spectral depths of the minima and RI sensitivity of the structure, as well as improved wettability of the micro-cavity surface, which made the measurements faster and easier.
PHARMACOLOGICAL COMPARISON OF THREE TYPES OF LONG-ACTING CORTICOTROPHIN PREPARATIONS (1960)

ABSTRACT A test for long-acting corticotrophin (ACTH) preparations is described. Thirty guinea pigs receive the test substance and the excretion of corticosteroids in the pooled urine is determined in 3 successive 8-hour periods. With this test it is shown that transformation to a zinc complex prolongs the action of ACTH more effectively than either the addition of gelatine or of carboxymethylcellulose.
Internal Waves in the Arctic Ocean: Comparison with Lower-Latitude Observations (1985)

A thermistor chain was moored below the pack ice from 50–150 m in the Arctic Ocean for five days in 1981. Oscillations in temperature are attributed to the vertical dispalcement of internal waves. The spectral shape of isotherm dispalcement is consistent with the Garrett-Munk model and other internal wave observations, but the spectral level is significantly lower. Other observations from the Arctic Ocean also exhibit lower internal-wave energy when compared with historical data from lower latitudes. The lower energy may be related to the unique generation and dissipation mechanisms present in the ice-covered Arctic Ocean. Significant peaks in vertical coherence occur at 0.81 and 2.6 cph. The peak at 2.6 cph coincides approximately with the high-frequency spectral cutoff near the local buoyancy frequency; this feature has been observed in many other internal wave experiments. The coherent oscillations at 0.81 cph exhibit a node in vertical dispalcement at 75–100 m. This is consistent with either the second, third or fourth vertical mode calculated from the mean buoyancy frequency profile. Evidence is presented which suggests that, contrary to the Garrett-Munk model, the frequency spectrum does not scale with the Coriolis parameter.
Groundwater Pumping Systems - Design Criteria and Performance Monitoring as the Foundation of an Operations and Maintenance Strategy (2004)

Groundwater pumping is increasingly being used as an essential component of many salinity mitigation strategies. Such systems frequently have high capital and operations costs and must be designed to cope with challenging engineering environments including highly saline and corrosive conditions, biofouling of bores, pumps and pipelines and air entrainment in pipelines to name but a few. Major contributors to the recurrent costs of operating and maintaining these schemes are the cost of electricity and the amount of maintenance required to ensure that they continue to be operated efficiently and effectively. The experiences of SA Water in constructing and operating three large-scale salt interception schemes over the last 20 years have highlighted key areas of design and operations that are critical to their successful long term operation. Continuous improvement and innovation by operations personnel have been actively encouraged and have resulted in numerous improvements being incorporated into existing schemes and those to be constructed in the future. Selection of suitable materials, pumping and ancillary equipment and their configurations are a good start but performance monitoring of pumps, bore and pipelines must be the driver of a successful operations and maintenance strategy. Case studies are presented to highlight the importance of some of these aspects.

The prevalence of hereditary pancreatitis mutations in families with pancreatic cancer. (2019)

e15728 Background: Germline pathogenic variants (PV) in hereditary cancer risk genes are found in ~10-15% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas/cancers (PC), but most cases of familial PC have no identifiable genetic cause. Chronic pancreatitis is an established risk factor for PC, with a lifetime risk of PC of 10-30%, and has been associated with germline mutations in several genes: PRSS1, SPINK1, CASR, CTRC, and CFTR. Few studies have examined the prevalence of PV in the pancreatitis risk genes among patients reporting a personal or family history (FHx) of PC. Methods: The FCCC Risk Assessment Program (RAP) database was queried to identify patients tested for PRSS1, SPINK1, CASR, CTRC, and CFTR as part of risk assessment. Pedigrees, demographic and cancer history data were reviewed. De-identified data from Invitae on patients found to be CFTR+ on hereditary pancreatitis testing were also reviewed for personal/FHx of PC. Results: 26 patients with PC and 48 patients with a FHx of PC underwent germline testing for the pancreatitis genes at FCCC. 7 of 26 (26.9%) patients with PC carried at least one CFTR mutation, while 3 of 48 (6.3%) patients with a FHx of PC carried a CFTR mutation. Interestingly, 8 patients carried an intronic variant in the CFTR gene. No patients with PC and 2 of 48 (4.2%) patients with a FHx of PC carried a SPINK1 mutation. The CFTR mutation rate in PC patients exceeded the expected carrier rate (2.6-3.6%)(p < 0.001). The SPINK1 mutation rate in PC patients also exceeded the expected carrier rate but was not statistically significant (1.9%)(p = 0.23). CaSR, PRSS1, and CTRC mutations were not identified in our population. Personal/FHx data were available to review for 175 of the 496 CFTR+ patients tested through Invitae. 49 of 175 (28%) had a personal history of PC and 105 of 175 (60%) had a reported FHx of PC. Strikingly, 23% of CFTR+ patients carried pathogenic mutations in other genes (most commonly SPINK1). Conclusions: In our select sample, CFTR mutations, and in particular a known intronic variant, were highly enriched in a population of patients undergoing risk assessment for hereditary PC. Commercial data suggest a substantial minority of CFTR+ carriers with a personal/FHx of PC may also carry SPINK1 mutations.
