A MOLECULAR INTERPRETATION FOR THE $D^*_{s2}(2573)$, THE PREDICTION OF NOVEL EXOTIC CHARMED MESONS AND NARROW N*, Λ* RESONANCES AROUND 4.3 GeV
2011-01-01

In this talk we review the vector-vector and vector-baryon interaction within the hidden gauge formalism in a coupled channel unitary approach. The vector-vector interaction is studied for all the sectors not studied before: C = 0; S = 1 (hidden-charm), C = 1, S = 1, and the flavor exotic sectors C = 1; S = -1, 2 and C = 2; S = 0, 1, 2. We find nine states, four of them in the C = 1; S = 1 sector, where one can be identified with the [Formula: see text] and it is interpreted as a D* K* molecular state. The other five resonances are found in the flavor exotic sectors C = 1; S = -1, C = 2; S = 0, 1 and can be considered as [Formula: see text], D* D* and [Formula: see text] molecular states. In the case of the vector-baryon interaction we generate hidden charm resonances around 4.3 GeV, without or with strangeness, N*, Λ*. Nevertheless, there is not experimental evidence of such states yet.
Technical and political concerns of site remediation: a German case
2011-01-01

On a site in Northern Germany the groundwater is contaminated with cyanides. The source is the embankment of a road constructed with slag material in the 70’s. Comprehensive conceptual and mathematical site models were developed to simulate the groundwater flow and the cyanide transport in the aquifer. The calibrated mathematical models were then applied to assess the feasibility of a funnel-and-gate system at the site. Although technically feasible, the decision for this technology was object of political discussion. This case study shows how technical, economical and social aspects have to be properly taken into consideration in clean-up projects.

Lang-term solute transport and geochemical equilibria in a Triassic catchment cross section
2011-01-01

A significant part of south-western German landscape is formed of a sequence of Triassic sandstones, lime stones and clays. In this densely populated and industrialized area, safety of water resources represents a major issue. Especially the long-term responses of subsurface-surface water systems and their quality, on influences of aerial pollution, agricultural and geogenic influences are not well understood on the catchment scale. The goal of this study is to investigate factors that influence the geochemical interactions between subsurface water and adjacent rivers. A computer model was constructed comprising a 2-D 1500 m x 150 m vertical cross-section of Triassic layers, quaternary gravel aquifer subject to subsurface water flow and solute transport towards the Neckar river. Geochemical interactions include intra-aqueous kinetic reaction of oxygen and soil organic matter as well as kinetics of carbonate dissolution/precipitation. This model section was chosen to provide an efficient insight to the principal processes and timescales affecting catchment geochemistry. The numerical simulator MIN3P was chosen, a finite volume program for variably saturated subsurface flow, which offers a highly flexible structure for definition of geochemical interactions. Results show that subsurface water residence times range from years to many centuries. Different zones are to be expected with respect to the development of mineral equilibria such as open or closed system carbonate dissolution. Short-term responses to daily averaged changes in precipitation, however, are visible to some extent in the shallower and near-river parts of the flow system as well as in solute loads. This can most likely be explained by directional changes in flow paths. The extent of reducing zones is controlled by the presence of organic rich layers (i.e. peat deposits), the dissolution kinetics of aquifer organic matter and the subsequent mixing with oxygenated water by hydrodynamic dispersion. The modelling approach appears promising to achieve better understanding of large scale subsurface hydrogeochemical interactions.
Impact of different degrees of detail in models of root water uptake on simulated seasonal patterns of evapotranspiration and soil moisture
2011-01-01

Plant water uptake is a crucial process linking water fluxes in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. Soil water extraction by roots affects the dynamic and distribution of soil moisture in the rooted zone. Water supply of plants controls transpiration, which is an important factor for the energy balance at the land surface and influences plant growth through its connection with photosynthesis. Effective algorithms for estimating root water uptake are therefore needed in crop and forest stand models, which are designed to predict plant growth and yield at the field and stand scale as well as in land-surface models, which act at larger scales and are designed to be coupled with regional climate models. According to differences in the resolution of the variables calculated by such models and due to the demands on the computational time, which is required to run these models, the degree of detail how root processes are represented varies considerably between such models. Moreover, recent studies at the single plant scale have shown that more sophisticated models of root water uptake, which consider explicitly architecture of plants and distinguish between the hydrological parameters of bulk soil and rhizosphere, can simulate effects of soil moisture deficit more realistically than less detailed larger scale models. The present study aims on exploring the potential of improving large scale vegetation models, which are needed for regional climate modelling, by incorporating more detailed modelling approaches of root water uptake in it. As a first step, seasonal patterns of evapotranspiration and soil moisture in the rooted zone are simulated using three models differing in the degree of detail in calculating root water uptake: the Community Land Model (CLM), which can be coupled to atmospheric models, the root water uptake routine of the crop model CERES and a newly developed modelling approach, which considers explicitly plant architecture and soil water transport towards roots. The simulation results are compared with measured data originating from a lysimeter study with juvenile beech trees and from an experimental field site with winter wheat.
Financial Frictions and Foreign Direct Investment: The Role of Bank Health and Collateral Value
2011-01-01

Very preliminary and incomplete. Please do not quote or cite without the permission of the authors. Using the Japanese land-price bubble in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a natural experiment we study how financial market frictions impact foreign direct investment (FDI). We focus on two possible explanations: (i) changes in bank health affecting the supply of credit; and (ii) changes in the value of collateral affecting investors ’ ability to borrow and hence the demand for credit. Using micro-data on Japanese multinational investments in the US and EU, the value of the multinationals ’ land holdings (to proxy for collateral), and the credit rating of their main banks, we find evidence for the importance of the collateral channel in transmitting shocks in financial markets
The Research Use Exemption from Patent Infringement and the Propensity to Patent
2011-01-01

This article explores the propensity to patent in the light of a statutory research use exemption from patent infringement. Unlike earlier approaches concerned with the patenting decision, we take into account that a statutory research use exemption may decrease the merits of patenting by facilitating inventing around the patent. We find that a research use exemption ? contingent on the competitive environment of the inventor ? possibly has substantial negative effects on the propensity to patent. An empirical investigation of the theoretical results finds support for the proposed effects.

Fast Data Mining with Sparse Chemical Graph Fingerprints by Estimating the Probability of Unique Patterns
2011-01-01

Abstract. The aim of this work is to introduce a modification of chemical graphs fingerprints for data mining. The algorithm reduces the number of features by taking the probability of producing an unique feature at a specific search depth into account. We observed the probability of generating a non-unique feature depending on a search parameter (which leads to a power-law growths of features) and modeled it by a sigmoid function. This function was integrated into a fingerprinting routine to reduce the features according to their probability. The predictive performance was convincing with a considerable speedup for the training of a linear support vector machine for sparse instances. 1
Orthotopic Liver Transplantation in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-Positive Patients in Germany
2011-01-01

Introduction: The introduction of HAART has led to a dramatic reduction in HIV-associated morbidity and mortality. As a consequence liver-disease associated complications have become an increasing clinical challenge. The summary evaluates the outcome of orthotopic liver transplanted (OLT) HIV-patients in Germany. Methods: Retrospective chart analysis of 32 HIV-positive patients who were liver transplanted in 9 German transplant centers between 1997–2010. Results: Reasons for OLT were end-stage liver disease (ESLD) due to hepatitis C (n=19, with 5 additionally having hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), ESLD due to HCV/HBV-coinfection (n=1, additionally having HCC), ESLD due to HBV (n=10, one with additional alcoholic cirrhosis and one with HCC), Budd-Chiari syndrome (n=1) and ESLD due to HBV/HCV/HDV-coinfection (n=1). The median CD4 T-cell count before transplantation was 256/ μl (IQR,192–368). Of all transplanted patients 22/32 are still alive in 2010 with a median survival of 57 months (IQR,38–75). 10/32 (31%) patients died, 5 in the early post-transplantation period (first 3 months), due to primary graft dysfunction (n=1), intrathoracal hemorrhage (n=1) and septicaemia (n=3). 5 patients died after 7, 8, 10, 31 and 56 months, respectively, as a consequence of skeletal metastasis of an HCC (n=1), an multiorgan failure and septicaemia (n=1), graft failure (n=2) and septicaemia after re-re- transplantation (n=1). Recurrent hepatitis B infection was efficiently prevented in 11/12 patients by antiretroviral prophylaxis, whereas hepatitis C reinfection occurred in all patients and contributed to mortality. Interferon based antiviral therapy of HCV re-infection achieved sustained virological response in 5 of the interferon treated 7 patients. Conclusions: Overall OLT is a feasible approach in HIV-infected patients with acceptable survival rates in Germany. Reinfection with HCV still remains a major clinical challenge in HIV/HCV coinfection after OLT.
Structuring Interactive Correctness Proofs by Formalizing Coding Idioms.
2011-01-01

This paper examines a novel strategy for developing correctness proofs in interactive software verification for C programs. Rather than proceeding backwards from the generated verification conditions, we start by developing a library of the employed data structures and related coding idioms. The application of that library then leads to correctness proofs that reflect informal arguments about the idioms. We apply this strategy to the low-level memory allocator of the L4 microkernel, a case study discussed in the literature.
DWARF-driven Equivalence Checking of UML Statecharts and Software Components.
2011-01-01

This article presents an instrumentation-free runtime verification methodology built upon an external observer which uses DWARF-statements to monitor system behavior. The observer delivers information about variable values used for state-encoding and method calls representing transitions. These information are passed to an engine which parses the system specification in terms of a UML statechart. It is transformed into an executable automaton which acts as a golden reference for equivalence checking. The presented approach makes it possible to perform verification directly on the target architecture and keeps up test significance by avoiding modification of the executable caused by injected monitors or other code probes.
The Hypoxic Rat Model for Obstetric Complications in Schizophrenia
2011-01-01

Hypoxia has been discussed as a possible factor of obstetric complications in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. This study investigated the effects of chronic neonatal hypoxia in rats as an animal model of schizophrenia. Methods: (1) After chronic neonatal hypoxia between postnatal day (PD) 4 and 8, half of the pups were fostered by normally treated nurse animals to control for possible maternal effects and (2) tested on PD 36, 86, 120, and 150 using three different behavioral tests: prepulse inhibition (PPI), social interaction and recognition, and motor activity in an open field. (3) Before the PD 150 test, 50% of the animals had been chronically treated with the antipsychotic drug clozapine (45 mg/kg/day). (4) At PD 155, different brain regions have been used for expression profiling of synaptic genes on cDNA microarrays ("glutamate chip") with qRT-PCR confirmation. Additionally, at PD 11 and 120, NMDA receptor binding and expression of NMDA receptor subunits have been performed. Rats exposed to hypoxia exhibited deficits in locomotor activity on PD 86, 120, and 150, as well as a PPI deficit on PD 120 and 150 in adulthood, but not before. Chronic treatment with clozapine reversed hypoxia-induced PPI deficits, but not the decreased locomotor activity. In a second experiment, where clozapine was chronically administered before PD 120, development of the PPI deficit in the animals exposed to hypoxia was prevented. In several brain regions, presynaptic genes such as SNAP-25, syntaxin 1A, neurexin, neuropeptide Y, and complexin I were downregulated and the NR1 subunit of the NMDA receptor was upregulated by hypoxia. These differential gene regulations could be partially compensated for by clozapine treatment. NMDA receptor binding was decreased at PD 11 and expression of the NR1 subunit was increased at PD 11 and 120. The time course of hypoxia-induced PPI deficits and their reversal by clozapine support the validity of our animal model and the hypothesis that hypoxia as a factor of obstetric complications plays a role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Differential gene expression in cortical and subcortical brain regions as well as correlations to deficits of PPI support the view of an involvement of synapse-associated gene products and glutamatergic and GABAergic neurotransmission in the pathophysiology of behavioral deficits occurring as delayed responses to neonatal hypoxia in adulthood.

This deliverable reports on a vision of the future for the LTLL tools and language technology for e-learning generally. The LTfLL tools and infrastructure are presented in terms of three layers (subsections), which are ultimately based on the final validation results. Layer one describes achievements and their importance. Layer two describes requiremets for adoption and sustain ability. And layer three describes logical extensions which could be made for any future versions of the tools. The report ends with a discussion of the future of language technology-based e-learning tools, with the guiding theme being personalisable tools for social learning.
Spectral Analysis of Mid-IR Excesses of White Dwarfs
2011-01-01

In our Spitzer 24 \\mu m survey of hot white dwarfs (WDs) and archival Spitzer study of pre-WDs, i.e., central stars of planetary nebulae (CSPNs), we found mid-IR excesses for -15 WDs/pre-WDs. These mid-IR excesses are indicative of the presence of circumstellar dust that could be produced by sub-planetary objects. To further assess the nature of these IR-excesses, we have obtained Spitzer IRS, Gemini NIRI and Michelle, and KPNO 4m echelle spectra of these objects. In this paper we present the analysis of these spectroscopic observations and discuss the nature of these IR excesses.
Regional Inequality in Human Capital Formation in Europe, 1790 - 1880
2011-01-01

Abstract Recent theoretical advances reveal the importance of human capital for long-run economic growth. However, the absence of data makes it difficult to measure human capital before 1870 at the national level, let alone at the regional level within countries. By using the age heaping method and a large, new data set, we approximate the numeracy values in more than 570 regions in Europe between 1790 and 1880. The results indicate a significant gap in numeracy levels between advanced west and central European countries and the rest of Europe. Nevertheless, differences in basic numeracy between and within countries became smaller over the nineteenth century, as the periphery solved its basic numeracy problem.
Individual attitudes towards trade: Stolper-Samuelson revisited
2011-01-01

This paper studies to what extent individuals form their preferences towards trade policies along the lines of the Stolper-Samuelson logic. We employ a novel international survey data set with an extensive coverage of high-, middle-, and low-income countries, address a subtle methodological shortcoming in previous studies and condition on aspects of individualenlightenment. We find statistically significant and economically large Stolper-Samuelson effects. In the United States, being high-skilled increases an individual's probability of favoring free trade by up to twelve percentage points, other things equal. In Ethiopia, the effect amounts to eight percentage points, but in exactly the opposite direction.
