It is a heterogeneous multivendor system containing a variety of switches and desktop solutions, employing different protocol options of ATM. The tests conducted in the pilot system revealed major difficulties regarding stability, interoperability and performance. The paper presents motivations, layout and results of the pilot system.

Radiolabelled amino acids seem to reflect tumour infiltration more specifically than conventional methods like magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography. Automatic tumour delineation based on maximal tumour uptake may cause an overestimation of mean tumour uptake and an underestimation of tumour extension in tumours with circumscribed peaks. The aim of this study was to develop a program for tumour delineation and calculation of mean tumour uptake which takes into account the mean background activity and is thus optimised to the problem of tumour definition in IMT SPET. Using the frequency distribution of pixel intensities of the tomograms a program was developed which automatically detects a reference brain region and draws an isocontour region around the tumour taking into account mean brain radioactivity. Tumour area and tumour/brain ratios were calculated. A three-compartment phantom was simulated to test the program. The program was applied to IMT SPET studies of 20 patients with cerebral gliomas and was compared to the results of manual analysis by three different investigators. Activity ratios and chamber extension of the phantom were correctly calculated by the automatic analysis. A method based on image maxima alone failed to determine chamber extension correctly. Manual region of interest analysis in patient studies resulted in a mean inter-observer standard deviation of 8.7\%±6.1\% (range 2.7\%-25.0\%). The mean value of the results of the manual analysis showed a significant correlation to the results of the automatic analysis (r = 0.91, P<0.0001 for the uptake ratio; r = 0.87, P<0.0001 for the tumour area). We conclude that the algorithm proposed simplifies the calculation of uptake ratios and may be used for observer-independent evaluation of IMT SPET studies. Three-dimensional tumour recognition and transfer to co-registered morphological images based on this program may be useful for the planning of surgical and radiation treatment.}, language = {en} } @article{TaylorSchmitzZiemonsetal.2000, author = {Taylor, J.

In addition to the well-known motion-sensitive area MT the prefrontal brain areas BA44 and 47 and the cingulate gyrus, as well as posterior sites such as BA37 and BA40, were important components during the period of the motion aftereffect experience. They appear to be involved in control circuitry for selecting which of a number of processing styles is appropriate.

A four-channel acquisition-board has been developed which is equipped with four 12 bit-ADCs connected to one FPGA (field programmable gate array). The FPGA manages data acquisition and the transfer to the host computer. It can also work as a digital trigger, so a separate hardware-trigger can be omitted. The method of free running sampling provides a maximum of information, besides the pulse charge and amplitude also pulse shape and starting time are contained in the sampled data. These informations are crucial for many tasks such as distinguishing between different scintillator materials, determination of radiation type, pile-up recovery, coincidence detection or time-of-flight applications. The absence of an analog integrator allows coping with very high count rates. Since this method is going to be employed in positron emission tomography (PET), the position of an event is another important information.

Then homogenization is a powerful tool to speed up the calculations by preserving accurate solutions at the same time. Unfortunately real structures are generally non-periodic, which requires unpractical, complicated homogenization techniques. We demonstrate in this paper, that the application of simple, periodic techniques to realistic media, that are just close to periodic, gives accurate, approximative solutions. In order to obtain effective parameters for the homogenized heat equation, we have to solve a so called "cell problem". In contrast to periodic structures it is not trivial to determine a suitable unit cell, which represents a non-periodic media. To overcome this problem, we give a rule of thumb on how to choose a good cell. Finally we demonstrate the efficiency of our method for virtually generated foams as well as real foams and compare these results to periodic structures.}, language = {en} } @article{PieperKlein2010, author = {Pieper, Martin and Klein, Peter}, title = {Numerical solution of the heat equation with non-linear, time derivative-dependent source term}, series = {International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering}, volume = {84}, journal = {International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering}, number = {10}, publisher = {Wiley}, address = {Chichester}, issn = {0029-5981}, doi = {10.1002/nme.2937}, pages = {1205 -- 1221}, year = {2010}, abstract = {The mathematical modeling of heat conduction with adsorption effects in coated metal structures yields the heat equation with piecewise smooth coefficients and a new kind of source term.

In our approach we reformulated this as a new problem for the usual heat equation, without source term but with a new non-linear coefficient. We gave an existence and uniqueness proof for the weak solution of the reformulated problem. To obtain a numerical solution, we developed a semi-implicit and a fully implicit finite volume method. We compared these two methods theoretically as well as numerically.

Besides the contact time of the test specimens with gaseous H2O2 varied between 0.2 and 0.5 s, the present H2O2 concentration in a range from 0 to 8\% v/v (volume percent) had a strong influence on the microbicidal effectiveness, whereas the change of the vaporiser temperature, gas flow and humidity were almost negligible. Furthermore, a calorimetric H2O2 gas sensor was characterised in the sterilisation process with gaseous H2O2 in a wide range of parameter settings, wherein the measurement signal has shown a linear response against the H2O2 concentration with a sensitivity of 4.75 °C/(\% v/v). In a final step, a correlation model by matching the measurement signal of the gas sensor with the microbial inactivation kinetics was established that demonstrates its suitability as an efficient method for validating the microbicidal effectiveness of sterilisation processes with gaseous H2O2.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BoernerFunkeHendricketal.2009, author = {B{\"o}rner, Sebastian and Funke, Harald and Hendrick, P. and Recker, E.}, title = {LES of Jets In Cross-Flow and Application to the "Micromix" Hydrogen Combustion}, series = {XIX International Symposium on Air Breathing Engines 2009 (ISABE 2009) : Proceedings of a meeting held 7-11 September 2009, Montreal, Canada}, booktitle = {XIX International Symposium on Air Breathing Engines 2009 (ISABE 2009) : Proceedings of a meeting held 7-11 September 2009, Montreal, Canada}, isbn = {9781615676064}, pages = {1555 -- 1561}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KowalskiBarteltMcElwaine2007, author = {Kowalski, Julia and Bartelt, Perry and McElwaine, J.}, title = {Two-phase debris flow modeling}, series = {Geophysical Research Abstracts}, booktitle = {Geophysical Research Abstracts}, year = {2007}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KowalskiMcElwaine2008, author = {Kowalski, Julia and McElwaine, J.}, title = {Two-phase debris flow modeling}, series = {Geophysical Research Abstracts}, booktitle = {Geophysical Research Abstracts}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OlaruKowalskiSethietal.2011, author = {Olaru, Alexandra Maria and Kowalski, Julia and Sethi, Vaishali and Bl{\"u}mich, Bernhard}, title = {Fluid Transport in Porous Media probed by Relaxation-Exchange NMR}, series = {2011 Fall Meeting, AGU, San Francisco, Calif., 5-9 Dec.}, booktitle = {2011 Fall Meeting, AGU, San Francisco, Calif., 5-9 Dec.}, year = {2011}, language = {en} } @article{Ziemons1987, author = {Ziemons, Karl}, title = {Jet production and fragmentation properties in deep inelastic muon scattering}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Physik C : Particles and Fields}, volume = {36}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Physik C : Particles and Fields}, number = {4}, isbn = {0170-9739}, pages = {527 -- 543}, year = {1987}, language = {en} } @article{Ziemons1988, author = {Ziemons, Karl}, title = {A measurement of the spin asymmetry of the structure function g1 in deep inelastic muon-proton scattering}, series = {Physics Letters B}, volume = {206}, journal = {Physics Letters B}, number = {2}, isbn = {0370-2693}, pages = {364 -- 370}, year = {1988}, abstract = {The spin asymmetry in deep inelastic scattering of longitudinally polarised muons by longitudinally polarised protons has been measured over a large x range (0.01
