It is well adapted to living in loose sand by virtue of a combination of morphological and behavioural specializations. We investigated the bodyform of the sandfish using 3D-laserscanning and explored its locomotion in loose desert sand using fast nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging. The sandfish exhibits an in-plane meandering motion with a frequency of about 3 Hz and an amplitude of about half its body length accompanied by swimming-like (or trotting) movements of its limbs. No torsion of the body was observed, a movement required for a digging-behaviour. Simple calculations based on the Janssen model for granular material related to our findings on bodyform and locomotor behaviour render a local decompaction of the sand surrounding the moving sandfish very likely. Thus the sand locally behaves as a viscous fluid and not as a solid material. In this fluidised sand the sandfish is able to "swim" using its limbs.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Peterson2008, author = {Peterson, Leif Arne}, title = {Zum Tragverhalten nachgiebig verbundener Biegetr{\"a}ger aus Holz}, publisher = {Fraunhofer IRB Verlag}, address = {Stuttgart}, isbn = {9783816775973}, pages = {169 Seiten}, year = {2008}, abstract = {In der vorliegenden Dissertation werden zun{\"a}chst die linear elastischen Bemessungsm{\"o}glichkeiten f{\"u}r nachgiebig verbundene Biegetr{\"a}ger unter statischer und dynamischer Beanspruchung diskutiert.

This increase was observed to occur earlier in complex partial seizures than in secondarily generalized seizures. We here address the question whether such an increase of neuronal correlation prior to seizure end is indeed a global phenomenon, involving both hemispheres or whether there are side-specific differences. Methods: We analyzed 20 focal onset seizures (10 complex partial, 10 secondarily generalized seizures) recorded in 13 patients who underwent presurgical evaluation of focal epilepsies of different origin. EEG was recorded intracranially from bilaterally implanted subdural strip and intrahippocampal depth electrodes. Utilizing a moving window approach, we investigated the evolution of the maximum cross correlation for all channel combinations during seizures. For each moving window the mean value of the maximum cross correlation (MCC) between all electrode contacts was computed separately for each hemisphere. After normalization of seizure durations, MCC values of the ipsi- and contralateral hemisphere for all seizures were determined. Results: We observed that the MCC of the contralateral hemisphere in complex partial seizures increased during the first half of the seizure, whereas, for the same time interval, the MCC of the ipsilateral hemisphere even declined below the level of the pre-seizure period. In contrast, no significant differences between both hemispheres could be observed for secondarily generalized seizures where both hemispheres showed a simultaneous increase of MCC during the second half of the seizures. The level of MCC for the contralateral hemisphere was higher for complex partial seizures than for secondarily generalized seizures during the first half of the seizure. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that there are indeed lateralized differences in the evolution of global neuronal correlation during complex partial and secondarily generalized seizures. The observed contralateral increase of neuronal correlation during complex partial seizures might indicate an emerging self-organizing mechanism for preventing the spread of seizure activity.}, language = {en} } @article{BialonskiAllefeldWellmeretal.2008, author = {Bialonski, Stephan and Allefeld, C. and Wellmer, J. and Elger, C. and Lehnertz, K.}, title = {An approach to identify synchronization clusters within the epileptic network}, series = {Klinische Neurophysiologie}, volume = {39}, journal = {Klinische Neurophysiologie}, number = {1}, doi = {10.1055/s-2008-1072881}, pages = {A79}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{SchindlerBialonskiHorstmannetal.2008, author = {Schindler, Kaspar A. and Bialonski, Stephan and Horstmann, Marie-Therese and Elger, Christian E. and Lehnertz, Klaus}, title = {Evolving functional network properties and synchronizability during human epileptic seizures}, series = {Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science}, volume = {18}, journal = {Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science}, number = {3}, issn = {1089-7682}, doi = {10.1063/1.2966112}, pages = {033119}, year = {2008}, language = {en} }
