Therefore, a four element cardiac transceive surface coil array was developed. Cardiac imaging provided clinically acceptable signal homogeneity with an excellent blood myocardium contrast.

These strains can efficiently secrete proteins into the culture medium using the general secretion (Sec) pathway. A characteristic feature of all secreted proteins is their N-terminal signal peptides, which are recognized by the secretion machinery. Here, we have studied the production of an industrially important secreted protease, namely, subtilisin BPN′ from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. One hundred seventy-three signal peptides originating from B. subtilis and 220 signal peptides from the B. licheniformis type strain were fused to this secretion target and expressed in B. subtilis, and the resulting library was analyzed by high-throughput screening for extracellular proteolytic activity. We have identified a number of signal peptides originating from both organisms which produced significantly increased yield of the secreted protease. Interestingly, we observed that levels of extracellular protease were improved not only in B. subtilis, which was used as the screening host, but also in two different B. licheniformis strains. To date, it is impossible to predict which signal peptide will result in better secretion and thus an improved yield of a given extracellular target protein. Our data show that screening a library consisting of homologous and heterologous signal peptides fused to a target protein can identify more-effective signal peptides, resulting in improved protein export not only in the original screening host but also in different production strains.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DammRitzStrauch2010, author = {Damm, Sebastian and Ritz, Thomas and Strauch, Jakob}, title = {Benutzerzentrierte Anforderungsanalyse f{\"u}r die Produktlinien-Entwicklung mobiler Unternehmenssoftware}, series = {EMISA 2010 : Einflussfaktoren auf die Entwicklung flexibler, integrierter Informationssysteme ; Beitr{\"a}ge des Workshops der GI-Fachgruppe Entwicklungsmethoden f{\"u}r Informationssysteme und deren Anwendung (EMISA), 07. - 08.10.2010 in Karlsruhe, Germany. - (GI-Edition : Proceedings ; 172)}, booktitle = {EMISA 2010 : Einflussfaktoren auf die Entwicklung flexibler, integrierter Informationssysteme ; Beitr{\"a}ge des Workshops der GI-Fachgruppe Entwicklungsmethoden f{\"u}r Informationssysteme und deren Anwendung (EMISA), 07. - 08.10.2010 in Karlsruhe, Germany. - (GI-Edition : Proceedings ; 172)}, editor = {Klink, Stefan}, publisher = {Ges. f{\"u}r Informatik}, address = {Bonn}, isbn = {978-3-88579-266-6}, pages = {117 -- 130}, year = {2010}, language = {de} } @incollection{Dachwald2010, author = {Dachwald, Bernd}, title = {Solar sail dynamics and control}, series = {Encyclopedia of Aerospace Engineering}, booktitle = {Encyclopedia of Aerospace Engineering}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Hoboken}, doi = {10.1002/9780470686652.eae292}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Solar sails are large and lightweight reflective structures that are propelled by solar radiation pressure. This chapter covers their orbital and attitude dynamics and control. First, the advantages and limitations of solar sails are discussed and their history and development status is outlined. Because the dynamics of solar sails is governed by the (thermo-)optical properties of the sail film, the basic solar radiation pressure force models have to be described and compared before parameters to measure solar sail performance can be defined. The next part covers the orbital dynamics of solar sails for heliocentric motion, planetocentric motion, and motion at Lagrangian equilibrium points. Afterwards, some advanced solar radiation pressure force models are described, which allow to quantify the thrust force on solar sails of arbitrary shape, the effects of temperature, of light incidence angle, of surface roughness, and the effects of optical degradation of the sail film in the space environment. The orbital motion of a solar sail is strongly coupled to its rotational motion, so that the attitude control of these soft and flexible structures is very challenging, especially for planetocentric orbits that require fast attitude maneuvers. Finally, some potential attitude control methods are sketched and selection criteria are given.}, language = {en} } @article{CzarneckiWinkelmannSpiliopoulou2010, author = {Czarnecki, Christian and Winkelmann, Axel and Spiliopoulou, Myra}, title = {Services in electronic telecommunication markets: a framework for planning the virtualization of processes}, series = {Electronic Markets}, volume = {20}, journal = {Electronic Markets}, number = {3-4}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {1422-8890}, doi = {10.1007/s12525-010-0045-8}, pages = {197 -- 207}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The potential of electronic markets in enabling innovative product bundles through flexible and sustainable partnerships is not yet fully exploited in the telecommunication industry.

We propose a framework for the planning of the virtualization of processes, intended to assist the decision maker in prioritizing the processes to be virtualized: (a) we transfer the virtualization pre-requisites stated by the Process Virtualization Theory in the context of customer-oriented processes in the telecommunication industry and assess their importance in this context, (b) we derive IT-oriented requirements for the removal of virtualization barriers and highlight their demand on changes at different levels of the organization.

Coupled with field observations and historical records, they are especially helpful in understanding avalanche flow in complex terrain. However, their application poses several new challenges to avalanche engineers. A detailed understanding of the avalanche phenomena is required to construct hazard scenarios which involve the careful specification of initial conditions (release zone location and dimensions) and definition of appropriate friction parameters. The interpretation of simulation results requires an understanding of the numerical solution schemes and easy to use visualization tools. We discuss these problems by presenting the computer model RAMMS, which was specially designed by the SLF as a practical tool for avalanche engineers. RAMMS solves the depth-averaged equations governing avalanche flow with accurate second-order numerical solution schemes. The model allows the specification of multiple release zones in three-dimensional terrain. Snow cover entrainment is considered. Furthermore, two different flow rheologies can be applied: the standard Voellmy-Salm (VS) approach or a random kinetic energy (RKE) model, which accounts for the random motion and inelastic interaction between snow granules. We present the governing differential equations, highlight some of the input and output features of RAMMS and then apply the models with entrainment to simulate two well-documented avalanche events recorded at the Vall{\´e}e de la Sionne test site.}, language = {en} } @article{ChristenBarteltKowalski2010, author = {Christen, Marc and Bartelt, Perry and Kowalski, Julia}, title = {Back calculation of the In den Arelen avalanche with RAMMS: Interpretation of model results}, series = {Annals of Glaciology}, volume = {51}, journal = {Annals of Glaciology}, number = {54}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, address = {Cambridge}, isbn = {1727-5644}, doi = {10.3189/172756410791386553}, pages = {161 -- 168}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Two- and three-dimensional avalanche dynamics models are being increasingly used in hazard-mitigation studies. These models can provide improved and more accurate results for hazard mapping than the simple one-dimensional models presently used in practice. However, two- and three-dimensional models generate an extensive amount of output data, making the interpretation of simulation results more difficult. To perform a simulation in three-dimensional terrain, numerical models require a digital elevation model, specification of avalanche release areas (spatial extent and volume), selection of solution methods, finding an adequate calculation resolution and, finally, the choice of friction parameters. In this paper, the importance and difficulty of correctly setting up and analysing the results of a numerical avalanche dynamics simulation is discussed. We apply the two-dimensional simulation program RAMMS to the 1968 extreme avalanche event In den Arelen.
