There was no effect of the radiation dose on the optical behaviour of PET as a result of exposure to radiation dose up to 30 kGy brought about by gamma rays but a significant decrease in the optical band gap values was observed when PET was exposed to swift light ions of hydrogen. The data obtained are discussed in terms of optical studies carried out on PET using swift heavy ions.}, language = {en} } @article{FerreinSteinbauerVassos2012, author = {Ferrein, Alexander and Steinbauer, Gerald and Vassos, Stavros}, title = {Action-Based Imperative Programming with YAGI}, series = {AAAI Technical Report}, journal = {AAAI Technical Report}, publisher = {AAAI}, address = {Menlo Park}, pages = {24 -- 31}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Many tasks for autonomous agents or robots are best described by a specification of the environment and a specification of the available actions the agent or robot can perform. Combining such a specification with the possibility to imperatively program a robot or agent is what we call the actionbased imperative programming. One of the most successful such approaches is Golog. In this paper, we draft a proposal for a new robot programming language YAGI, which is based on the action-based imperative programming paradigm. Our goal is to design a small, portable stand-alone YAGI interpreter. We combine the benefits of a principled domain specification with a clean, small and simple programming language, which does not exploit any side-effects from the implementation language. We discuss general requirements of action-based programming languages and outline YAGI, our action-based language approach which particularly aims at embeddability.}, language = {en} } @article{FrauenrathFuchsDieringeretal.2012, author = {Frauenrath, Tobias and Fuchs, Katharina and Dieringer, Matthias A. and {\"O}zerdem, Celal and Patel, Nishan and Renz, Wolfgang and Greiser, Andreas and Elgeti, Thomas and Niendorf, Thoralf}, title = {Detailing the use of magnetohydrodynamic effects for synchronization of MRI with the cardiac cycle: A feasibility study}, series = {Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging}, volume = {36}, journal = {Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley-Liss}, address = {New York}, issn = {1522-2586}, doi = {10.1002/jmri.23634}, pages = {364 -- 372}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of using magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects for synchronization of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the cardiac cycle. Materials and Methods: The MHD effect was scrutinized using a pulsatile flow phantom at B0 = 7.0 T. MHD effects were examined in vivo in healthy volunteers (n = 10) for B0 ranging from 0.05-7.0 T. Noncontrast-enhanced MR angiography (MRA) of the carotids was performed using a gated steady-state free-precession (SSFP) imaging technique in conjunction with electrocardiogram (ECG) and MHD synchronization. Results: The MHD potential correlates with flow velocities derived from phase contrast MRI. MHD voltages depend on the orientation between B0 and the flow of a conductive fluid. An increase in the interelectrode spacing along the flow increases the MHD potential. In vivo measurement of the MHD effect provides peak voltages of 1.5 mV for surface areas close to the common carotid artery at B0 = 7.0 T. Synchronization of MRI with the cardiac cycle using MHD triggering is feasible. MHD triggered MRA of the carotids at 3.0 T showed an overall image quality and richness of anatomic detail, which is comparable to ECG-triggered MRAs. Conclusion: This feasibility study demonstrates the use of MHD effects for synchronization of MR acquisitions with the cardiac cycle. J. Magn. Reson.

This study therefore introduces a newly developed method for the analysis of linguistic phenomena observed in continuous language production during fMRI. Most neuroimaging studies investigating language have so far focussed on single word or — to a smaller extent — sentence processing, mostly due to methodological considerations. Natural language production, however, is far more than the mere combination of words to larger units. Therefore, the present study aimed at relating brain activation to linguistic phenomena like word-finding difficulties or syntactic completeness in a continuous language fMRI paradigm. A picture description task with special constraints was used to provoke hesitation phenomena and speech errors. The transcribed speech sample was segmented into events of one second and each event was assigned to one category of a complex schema especially developed for this purpose. The main results were: conceptual planning engages bilateral activation of the precuneus. Successful lexical retrieval is accompanied - particularly in comparison to unsolved word-finding difficulties - by the left middle and superior temporal gyrus. Syntactic completeness is reflected in activation of the left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) (area 44). In sum, the method has proven to be useful for investigating the neural correlates of lexical and syntactic phenomena in an overt picture description task. This opens up new prospects for the analysis of spontaneous language production during fMRI.}, language = {en} } @article{Grotendorst2012, author = {Grotendorst, Johannes}, title = {IAS Winter School: Hierarchical Methods for Dynamics in Complex Molecular Systems}, series = {Innovatives Supercomputing in Deutschland : inSiDE}, volume = {10}, journal = {Innovatives Supercomputing in Deutschland : inSiDE}, publisher = {HLRS}, address = {Stuttgart}, pages = {104 -- 1}, year = {2012}, language = {en} } @article{LustfeldPithanReissel2012, author = {Lustfeld, Hans and Pithan, C. and Reißel, Martin}, title = {Metallic electrolyte composites in the framework of the brick-layer model}, series = {Journal of the European Ceramic Society}, volume = {32}, journal = {Journal of the European Ceramic Society}, number = {4}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Amsterdam}, issn = {0955-2219}, doi = {10.1016/j.jeurceramsoc.2011.10.017}, pages = {859 -- 864}, year = {2012}, abstract = {It is well known that the already large dielectric constants of some electrolytes like BaTiO₃ can be enhanced further by adding metallic (e.g. Ni, Cu or Ag) nanoparticles.

The PBLM results in an at least qualitative description and understanding of the physical phenomena: This model gives an explanation for the steep increase of the dielectric constant below the percolation threshold and why this increase is connected to a dramatic decrease of the breakdown voltage as well as the ability of storing electrical energy.
