Ansätze zur empirischen Forschung in der Klientenzentrierten Psychotherapie in Österreich (2014)

Nach einer einleitenden kurzen Übersicht über die bisherige empirische Forschung in der Klientenzentrierten Psychotherapie weltweit und über Forschungsansätze im Rahmen der österreichischen Vereinigung ÖGWG werden zwei von der ÖGWG durchgeführte empirische Untersuchungen dargestellt. Die demographisch ausgerichtete Studie 1 sollte eine Bestandsaufnahme der Klientenzentrierten Therapie in Österreich ermöglichen. Dabei konnten in die statistische Erhebung 2028 KlientInnen und 68 (von 468 angeschriebenen) TherapeutInnen einbezogen werden. Nach Ausschluss von 50 Datensätzen von Lehrtherapien ergaben sich u. a. als häufigste Diagnosen Anpassungsstörungen (F43; 24 %), Depression (F32, F33; 22 %) und Angststörungen (F40, F41; 12 %), während 9 % kein krankheitswertiges Therapiemotiv aufwiesen. Bei Studie 2, eine Prozess- und Outcome-Evaluation, sollten sowohl Symptomveränderungen als auch Veränderungen im emotionalen Erleben untersucht werden. Dazu wurden zu drei Messzeitpunkten (Beginn, 15. Stunde und Ende der Therapie) das Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) und die „Skalen zum Erleben von Emotionen“ (SEE) verwendet. Bei 44 evaluierten Datensätzen von KlientInnen ergaben sich u. a. signifikante Veränderungen bei allen Skalen des BSI sowie positive Veränderungen beim SEE bereits bis zur 15. Therapiestunde. Zum Therapieende weisen v. a. die BSI-Daten auf eine, nicht nur statistisch signifikante, sondern auch klinisch bedeutsame Veränderung der betreffenden KlientInnen hin.
REFRACTION FOR THE PERIPHERAL FIELD OF VISION (1931)

Two important reasons might be given for studying the refractive condition of the peripheral field of the eye: (<i>a</i>) to study its relation to determinations of acuity in the peripheral field, and (<i>b</i>) to study its relation to determinations of chromatic and achromatic sensitivity in the peripheral field. In former studies we have made rather elaborate series of determinations on both of these points. There remains for this study an investigation of the refractive condition of the peripheral field. Another angle of approach has been to complete our study of the variable factors that influence the determination of the limits of the color and form fields. This is, of course, but an aspect of (<i>b</i>). In listing the factors that cause a variation of result for a given person, we find the following: wave length and purity of stimulus, intensity of stimulus, size of stimulus or of angle subtended at
Vitamin K3 Analogs Induce Selective Tumor Cytotoxicity in Neuroblastoma (2012)

We investigated the cytotoxicity of eight vitamin K3 (VK3) analogs against neuroblastoma cell lines (IMR-32, LA-N-1, NB-39, and SK-N-SH) and normal cell lines (human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and human dermal fibroblasts (HDF)) using a 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. 2-[(2-Methoxy)ethylthio]-3-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (VK3-OCH(3)) showed especially potent cytotoxic activities against neuroblastoma cells compared with normal cells. In a Hoechst 33342 staining experiment, apoptotic morphologies characterized by cell shrinkage, nuclear condensation, and nuclear fragmentation were observed in IMR-32 and LA-N-1 cells after 48 h of treatment with 10(-5) M of VK3-OCH(3). To clarify the molecular mechanisms of apoptosis induced by VK3-OCH(3), we examined the expression of apoptosis related proteins using a Proteome Profiler Array and western blotting. Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 was remarkably increased by VK3-OCH(3) compared with the control (173% in IMR-32 and 170% in LA-N-1 at 24 h). Moreover, caveolin-1 was induced by VK3-OCH(3) at 48 h. In addition, VK3-OCH(3) arrested the cell cycle at the G2/M phase in IMR-32 cells. These results suggest that VK3-OCH(3) exhibited a selective antitumor activity via HO-1-related mechanisms.
Two-way Antagonistic Shape Actuation Based on the One-way Shape Memory Effect (2007)

The stress created by the austenite transformation of mechanically constrained NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) significantly exceeds that required to deform (detwin) its low temperature martensitic phase. The one-way shape memory effect can therefore be used to create antagonistic, fully reversible flexural shape morphing structures by assembling opposing pairs of linear contractile SMA actuators. These structures possess two distinct inactive configurations, neither of which requires continuous power for shape retention making them potentially suitable for long-term applications. Here, the shape changes of a representative antagonistic flexural unit cell have been experimentally evaluated, and the effect of the pre-strain of near equiatomic NiTi alloys on the actuation strain has been analyzed and discussed. The predicted deformations are then successfully compared to the response of prototype actuators.
Exercise prevention of unloading-induced bone and muscle loss in adult mice. (2005)

Skeletal unloading causes bone and muscle loss that may be reversed by post-unloading exercise. This study examines the effects of unloading and exercise, using tail-suspension for 14 days combined with a week of post-suspension cage wheel running in mice. Twenty-four adult, male, C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups (n = 6 mice/group); unsuspended non-running, tail-suspended non-running, unsuspended running, and tail-suspended running. At sacrifice, the calf (soleus, gastrocnemeius and plantaris complex), heart, tibia and femur were collected and weighed. The femora and tibiae were cleaned of non-osseous tissue, subjected to 3-point bending (femurs only), and weighed for dry (105 degrees C; 24h) and ash mass (800 degrees C; 24h). The mean calf mass from the tail-suspended groups (157.13 +/- 2.83 mg) was significantly less than in the unsuspended groups (167.33 +/- 2.83 mg; p = 0.019), with no significant effect of cage wheel running. The mean heart mass in running groups (166.58 +/- 4.78 mg) was significantly greater than the non-running groups (148.17 +/- 4.78 mg; p = 0.013), with no effect of hindlimb suspension. The mean femur ash mass from tail-suspended groups (24.02 +/- 0.38 mg) were significantly less than the unsuspended groups (25.11 +/- 0.34 mg; p = 0.050), and the running groups (25.13 +/- 0.38 mg) were significantly greater than the non-running groups (24.00 +/- 0.34 mg; p = 0.043). No effect was observed for the femur dry mass or percent mineralization. Measurements of mechanical length tended to be lower in tail-suspension, with no significant affects do to cage wheel running. This study suggests that tail-suspension in adult mice significantly decreases skeletal muscle and bone mass, with no change in percent mineralization. Furthermore, one week of running does not reverse the effects on the skeletal muscle and bone mass.

Efficient generation of 380 fs pulses of THz radiation by ultrafast laser pulse excitation of a biased metal-semiconductor interface (1991)

We have demonstrated a new method of generating pulses of freely propagating THz electromagnetic radiation. The resulting 380 fs pulses are the shortest directly measured THz pulses in free space to date and are more powerful than those generated by Hertzian dipoles or by resonant dipole antennas. Temporal features as short as 190 fs were observed on these THz radiation pulses and thereby, illustrate an ultrafast receiver response time.
Characterization of e-beam patterned grating structures using Mueller matrix based scatterometry (2013)

Scatterometry is one of the most useful metrology methods for the characterization and control of critical dimensions and the detailed feature shape of periodic structures found in the microelectronics fabrication processes. Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and normal incidence reflectometry (NI)-based scatterometry are widely used optical methodologies for metrology of these structures. Evolution of improved optical hardware and faster computing capabilities led to the development of Mueller matrix (MM)-based scatterometry (MMS). Unlike SE and NI, MM data provides complete information about the optical reflection and transmission of polarized light interacting with a sample. This gives MMS an advantage over traditional SE scatterometry due to the ability to characterize samples that have anisotropic optical properties and depolarize light. In this paper, we present the study of full MM (16-element) scatterometry over a wide spectral range from 245 to 1700 nm on a series of one-dimensional, two-dimensional symmetric, and asymmetric grating structures. A series of laterally complex nanoscale structures were designed and fabricated using a state-of-the-art e-beam patterning. Spectroscopic MM and SE data were collected using a dual rotating compensator ellipsometer. Commercial modeling software based on the rigorous coupled-wave approximation was used to precisely calculate the critical dimensions. Results from MMS were compared with scanning electron microscopy.
A new dynamic point specification approach to optimise surface mount placement machine in printed circuit board assembly (2003)

Some factors that significantly contribute to the overall assembly efficiency of the placement machines are robot motion control, sequence of placement points and feeder setup. Many techniques have been developed to improve the sequence of placement points and/or the feeder setup for the PCB assembly process. However, a limited number of works have reported on improving the robot motion control. This paper proposes a revised dynamic pick-and-place point (DPP) specification approach called Chebychev DPP (CDPP). We formulate a problem for a placement machine that is a type of cartesian robot which is able to move in both X and Y directions concurrently. The formulations are constructed based on the triple objectives of minimising robot assembly time, feeder movements and PCB table movements. Experimental results show that our CDPP is superior to Wang's DPP approach in terms of robot assembly time, feeder movements and PCB table movements.
Three dimensional transient simulation of electro-thermal behavior in semiconductor devices and its applications (1987)

In this paper we deal with the solution of three dimensional transient heat-flow equation for a given arbitrary power distribution in a region with different non-linear and non-uniform thermal properties. The time dependent power distribution in the region under investigation can be given either externally or supplied by the solution of the semiconductor carrier transport equations in the electrically active sub-region. The simulator is specifically written for AIM cell programming simulations. The solution method employed in the simulator is finite-difference method using Crank-Nicolson technique for time discretization, employing multi-grid approaches. The number of equations solved for each time step is in the order of 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">6</sup> . As a result of this work AIM cell fusing mechanism, electro-thermal interactions between neighboring cells, diffusion profile optimization issues will be covered.
Active control of sound radiation using volume velocity cancellation (1995)

The active control of sound transmission through a panel has been formulated using a near-field approach. The effects of minimizing the sound power radiated by the panel and of canceling the net volume velocity of the panel are compared not only in terms of the reduction in sound radiation but also in terms of the change in the space average mean-squared velocity of the panel and the space average mean-squared pressure at its surface. Simulations of a thin panel excited by an incident acoustic plane wave and a piezoelectric control actuator show that volume velocity cancellation gives similar reductions in the transmitted sound power to the minimization of sound power radiation up to frequencies at which the size of the plate is about half an acoustic wavelength. The acoustic radiation is analyzed in terms of the radiation modes of the panel which are also used to explain spillover effects. Spillover, which leads to increases in the mean-squared velocity of the panel and to increases in near-field pressure levels when using a piezoelectric patch as a secondary actuator can be removed by using an actuator which generates a uniform force over the surface of the panel. Such an actuator is the reciprocal of the volume velocity sensor and could be fabricated in the same way. The transfer function between such a matched actuator/sensor pair is shown to be minimum phase, so that the performance of a feedback control system should be as good as a feedforward one, which would allow control of arbitrary broadband excitation of the panel.
Novel reactor design as an integral solution: microbial fuel cell and wastewater treatment system (2014)

In this study, a new MFC reactor design is presented with the peculiarity of its novel working
principle and its enhanced wastewater treatment potential. The system is first tested using synthetic
wastewater (acetate) and later, under theoretical real conditions using brewery industry wastewater.
In the first case, over 90% chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction is reached after two days
of treatment and a maximum power density of 11 W/m3 is extracted at a current density of 40
A/m3, although it is to say that results could have been much better if some faults had been
avoided in time. In the second case, COD removal is around 90% after two days of operation.
Minerals’ concentrations reduction is relevant, as well, eliminating phosphate and ammonia traces
respectively up to 90% and 100% after 4-5 days of treatment. However, a nitrification process is
observed, increasing nitrate concentration up to around 10 mg/l after the same treatment length. The maximum power density extracted is of 4,5 W/m3 at a current density of 16,5 A/m3.
Decreased mental time travel to the past correlates with default-mode network disintegration under lysergic acid diethylamide (2016)

This paper reports on the effects of LSD on mental time travel during spontaneous mentation. Twenty healthy volunteers participated in a placebo-controlled crossover study, incorporating intravenous administration of LSD (75 μg) and placebo (saline) prior to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Six independent, blind judges analysed mentation reports acquired during structured interviews performed shortly after the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans (approximately 2.5 h post-administration). Within each report, specific linguistic references to mental spaces for the past, present and future were identified. Results revealed significantly fewer mental spaces for the past under LSD and this effect correlated with the general intensity of the drug's subjective effects. No differences in the number of mental spaces for the present or future were observed. Consistent with the previously proposed role of the default-mode network (DMN) in autobiographical memory recollection and ruminative thought, decreased resting-state functional connectivity (RSFC) within the DMN correlated with decreased mental time travel to the past. These results are discussed in relation to potential therapeutic applications of LSD and related psychedelics, e.g. in the treatment of depression, for which excessive reflection on one's past, likely mediated by DMN functioning, is symptomatic.
Crystal structure of CATGGCCATG and its implications for A-tract bending models. (1993)

The single-crystal x-ray analysis of orthorhombic CATGGCCATG has revealed a previously unrecognized mode of intrinsic bending in DNA. The decamer shows a smooth bend of 23 degrees over the central four base pairs, caused by preferential stacking interactions at guanine bases. The bend is produced by a roll of base pairs along their long axes, in a direction that compresses the wide major groove of the double helix. This major-groove-compressing bend at GGC, plus the abundant crystallographic evidence that runs of successive adenine bases (A-tracts) are straight and unbent, requires rethinking of the models most commonly invoked to explain A-tract bending. A decade of excellent experimental work involving gel migration experiments, cyclization kinetics, and nucleosome phasing has clearly established that introduction of short A-tracts into a general DNA sequence in synchrony with the natural repeat of the helix leads to bending. But it does not logically and inevitably follow that the actual bending is to be found within these introduced A-tracts or even at junctions with general-sequence B-DNA.

Effects of reducing DDT usage on total DDT storage in humans. (1977)

Agricultural uses of the insecticide DDT were cancelled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency December 31, 1972. However, the domestic use of DDT had begun to decline before this action. Beginning July 1969, residues of DDT and its metabolites were measured in human adipose tissue collected through an annual national survey. Levels of total DDT equivalent residues in human adipose have decreased slightly, but the frequencies of finding DDT or its metabolites have remained high. The most marked decline in residue concentration has been found in the youngest age group (0-14 years). Approximately 80 percent of the total DDT equivalent found in this survey was DDE. These data show that the reduction of the agricultural uses of DDT has decreased human exposure to and storage of this chemical.

Beavon Sulfur Removal Process for Claus Plant Tail Gas (1975)

The Beavon sulfur removal process for the cleanup of Claus plant tail gas is a two-step process in which the sulfur contaminants are first catalytically hydrolyzed and/or hydrogenated to hydrogen sulfide and the hydrogen sulfide is then converted to elemental sulfur and recovered in a Stretford process unit. Commercial plants reduce the concentration of sulfur compounds as hydrogen sulfide in the tail gas from 1-3 vol % to less than 100 ppm. The treated gas contains less than 1 ppm hydrogen sulfide. The chemistry, design criteria, operating experience, and economics of the process are discussed.
The Exhaustion of Phenidone Developers by Aeration, and the Superadditivity of Phenidone with Hydroquinone Monosulphonate (1959)

Developer solutions containing Phenidone and hydroquinone, both carbonate and borate based, have been subjected to accelerated aeration. It has been established that although the Phenidone concentration in such solutions is usually low compared with that of the hydroquinone, its stabilization by the latter is such that the loss of Phenidone by oxidation is only slight even when the aeration is continued well beyond the point where the hydroquinone has been converted entirely to the sulphonate. The effect of EDTA on the course of such aerations has also been determined. The marked super-additivity of Phenidone with hydroquinone monosulphonate has been demonstrated experimentally, and the practical importance of this effect is discussed.
Efficient Complexation of <i>N</i>-Acetyl Amino Acid Carboxylates in Water by an Artificial Receptor:  Unexpected Cooperativity in the Binding of Glutamate but Not Aspartate (2005)

A new tris-cation 1 binds N-acetyl amino acid carboxylates in water even at millimolar salt concentrations with Kass approximately 103 M-1 due to a clustering of electrostatic interactions. Binding is efficient enough to allow a naked-eyed detection using an indicator displacement assay. Furthermore, receptor 1 shows an unexpected 2:1 complex formation with strong positive cooperativity with glutamate but not aspartate.
Analysis of mRNA decay and rRNA processing in Escherichia coli multiple mutants carrying a deletion in RNase III (1993)

RNase III is an endonuclease involved in processing both rRNA and certain mRNAs. To help determine whether RNase III (rnc) is required for general mRNA turnover in Escherichia coli, we have created a deletion-insertion mutation (delta rnc-38) in the structural gene. In addition, a series of multiple mutant strains containing deficiencies in RNase II (rnb-500), polynucleotide phosphorylase (pnp-7 or pnp-200), RNase E (rne-1 or rne-3071), and RNase III (delta rnc-38) were constructed. The delta rnc-38 single mutant was viable and led to the accumulation of 30S rRNA precursors, as has been previously observed with the rnc-105 allele (P. Gegenheimer, N. Watson, and D. Apirion, J. Biol. Chem. 252:3064-3073, 1977). In the multiple mutant strains, the presence of the delta rnc-38 allele resulted in the more rapid decay of pulse-labeled RNA but did not suppress conditional lethality, suggesting that the lethality associated with altered mRNA turnover may be due to the stabilization of specific mRNAs. In addition, these results indicate that RNase III is probably not required for general mRNA decay. Of particular interest was the observation that the delta rnc-38 rne-1 double mutant did not accumulate 30S rRNA precursors at 30 degrees C, while the delta rnc-38 rne-3071 double mutant did. Possible explanations of these results are discussed.
