At the same time prices decline steadily with the latest trend being that operators offer voice services free of charge, the costs of which are covered by a monthly subscription charge. Against this background the paper examines the state of policy and regulatory reform in the telecommunications sector in Germany almost 10 years after the liberalisation of the fixed telecommunications market. Thereby the focus is on the analysis of the competitive conditions that have been established on the German market for voice telephony services. If these retail markets are competitive, there might be a need to remove remaining regulatory provisions. In the new environment of converging markets the future challenge of regulating fixed telecom markets might be to ensure that access to the network and/or services of a potentially dominant provider in a relevant market will satisfy requirements for openness and non-discrimination.}, subject = {Telekommunikationsmarkt}, language = {en} } @article{BaroudWuBohneretal.2003, author = {Baroud, G. and Wu, J.Z. and Bohner, M and Sponagel, Stefan and Steffen, T.}, title = {How to determine the permeability for cement infiltration into osteoporotic cancellous bone}, series = {Medical Engineering \& Physics. 25 (2003), H. 4}, journal = {Medical Engineering \& Physics. 25 (2003), H. 4}, issn = {1350-4533}, pages = {283 -- 288}, year = {2003}, abstract = {Cement augmentation is an emerging surgical procedure in which bone cement is used to infiltrate and reinforce osteoporotic vertebrae. Although this infiltration procedure has been widely applied, it is performed empirically and little is known about the flow characteristics of cement during the injection process. We present a theoretical and experimental approach to investigate the intertrabecular bone permeability during the infiltration procedure. The cement permeability was considered to be dependent on time, bone porosity, and cement viscosity in our analysis. In order to determine the time-dependent permeability, ten cancellous bone cores were harvested from osteoporotic vertebrae, infiltrated with acrylic cement at a constant flow rate, and the pressure drop across the cores during the infiltration was measured. The viscosity dependence of the permeability was determined based on published experimental data. The theoretical model for the permeability as a function of bone porosity and time was then fit to the testing data. Our findings suggest that the intertrabecular bone permeability depends strongly on time. For instance, the initial permeability (60.89 mm4/N.s) reduced to approximately 63\% of its original value within 18 seconds. This study is the first to analyze cement flow through osteoporotic bone. The theoretical and experimental models provided in this paper are generic. Thus, they can be used to systematically study and optimize the infiltration process for clinical practice.}, subject = {Osteoporose}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BruessermannDeuster2005, author = {Br{\"u}ssermann, Klaus and Deuster, M.}, title = {Temperature measurement to optimise the burning process}, year = {2005}, abstract = {One of the most important parameters in a burning chamber - in power stations, in waste to energy plants - is the temperature.

The results of these measurements discussed in the presentation can be used - to fulfil the legal requirements in the FRG or in the EU - to equalise the temperature in one level of the burning chamber to optimise the steam production (better efficiency of the plant) and to minimise the production of temperature controlled flue gas components (NO, CO a. o.) - to control the SNCR-process if used.}, subject = {Pyrometrie}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Gebhardt2006, author = {Gebhardt, Andreas}, title = {Technology Diffusion through a Multi-Level Technology Transfer Infrastructure.
