Selected AbstractsZur Querkraftgefährdung bestehender SpannbetonbrückenBETON- UND STAHLBETONBAU, Issue 6 2010Teil II: Empfehlungen zur Vorgehensweise bei Sichtung und Überprüfung Brückenbau; Spannbeton; Normen; Berechnungs- und Bemessungsverfahren Abstract Zur Formulierung einer Handlungsanweisung wurden in Teil I die geänderten Lastannahmen für Brücken nach DIN Fachbericht 101 mit den Belastungsklassen nach alten Normen verglichen und gezeigt, wie anhand aktueller Verkehrszahlen die Lastansätze modifiziert werden können. Der aktuelle Brückenbestand in Hessen wurde mit der Straßeninformationsbank (Teilprojekt Bauwerksdaten) ausgewertet, um Klassifizierungs- und Bewertungskriterien zu erarbeiten. Zur Beurteilung des Querkraftwiderstandes wurden die Grundlagen der Querkraftbemessung nach DIN 1045, DIN 4227, DIN Fachbericht 102 und aus der Literatur gegenübergestellt. In Teil II werden Verfahren zur nachträglichen Verstärkung von Querschnitten und Tragsystemen mit zu geringer Querkrafttragfähigkeit zusammengestellt. Des Weiteren werden verschiedene Varianten der Modellierung verglichen, die bei der linearelastischen Schnittgrößenermittlung nach der Finite-Elemente- Methode verwendet werden. Auf Grundlage der gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden schließlich Empfehlungen für eine Handlungsanweisung zur Beurteilung querkraftgefährdeter Brückenbauwerke formuliert. Shear-Vulnerability of Existing Pre-Stressed Concrete Bridges In Part I, to formulate an operation directive the revised load assumptions for bridges of DIN Technical Report 101 are compared with the loading classes according to old standards and it is demonstrated, how the loading models can be modified based on actual traffic data. The current bridge asset in the Federal State of Hesse is evaluated using the "Road Information Database (Sub-Project: Structural Data)" in order to work out classification and evaluation criteria. Regarding the assessment of the shear load-bearing capacity the fundamentals of the shear load design models of DIN 1045, DIN 4227, DIN TR 102 and from the literature are compared. In Part II, the procedures for the subsequent strengthening of cross-sections and structural systems with a low shear load-bearing capacity are compiled. In addition, different types of finite element modelling are compared used for the calculation of the linear-elastic internal forces. Finally, based on the findings recommendations are formulated for an operation directive in regard to the assessment of shear-vulnerable bridges. [source] Internal Sinus Manipulation (ISM) Procedure: A Technical ReportCLINICAL IMPLANT DENTISTRY AND RELATED RESEARCH, Issue 3 2007Jason M. Yamada DDS ABSTRACT Background, The sinus augmentation procedure has facilitated dental implant treatment in the posterior maxilla where there is insufficient bone for implant placement. A modified Caldwell-Luc, lateral window technique can be applied in most cases needing sinus augmentation in order to create a larger bone volume. However, treatment morbidity can be a concern, especially in the form of postoperative swelling due to surgical trauma. Vertical augmentation using osteotomes has also been selected as a choice of treatment due to less invasive surgery and less postoperative trauma. Although the osteotome technique enables the surgeon to raise the sinus membrane internally through an implant osteotomy site, the quantity and predictability of bone augmentation can be limiting due to the elasticity of the Schneiderian sinus membrane, difficulty of the membrane to separate from the floor as well as the inability to have direct tactile access to "peel" the membrane off of the floor. Purpose, The objective of this report is to present a new, minimally invasive sinus augmentation technique, called the Internal Sinus Manipulation (ISM) procedure, which has been developed to facilitate sinus floor augmentation while reducing treatment morbidity and yet have direct tactile access to raise the membrane off of the sinus floor. Surgical Technique, Access to the Schneiderian sinus membrane is achieved without perforation of the membrane through a conventional osteotomy drilling procedure alone or combined with osteotome technique, followed by reflection of the membrane utilizing special ISM instrumentation and bone graft procedure laterally and vertically through the osteotomy site. A planned implant is then placed. Conclusion, The Internal Sinus Manipulation procedure can be used as an alternative treatment modality for sinus augmentation as compared to the external lateral window technique while reducing postoperative morbidity for the patients who need implant treatment in posterior maxillary areas.

Copyright © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry [source] Gene expression analysis of immunostained endothelial cells isolated from formaldehyde-fixated paraffin embedded tumors using laser capture microdissection,A technical reportMICROSCOPY RESEARCH AND TECHNIQUE, Issue 12 2009Tomoatsu Kaneko Abstract Laser capture microdissection (LCM) allows microscopic procurement of specific cell types from tissue sections that can then be used for gene expression analysis. In conventional LCM, frozen tissues stained with hematoxylin are normally used to the molecular analysis. Recent studies suggested that it is possible to carry out gene expression analysis of formaldehyde-fixated paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues that were stained with hematoxylin. However, it is still unclear if quantitative gene expression analyses can be performed from LCM cells from FFPE tissues that were subjected to immunostaining to enhance identification of target cells. In this proof-of-principle study, we analyzed by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and real time PCR the expression of genes in factor VIII immunostained human endothelial cells that were dissected from FFPE tissues by LCM. We observed that immunostaining should be performed at 4°C to preserve the mRNA from the cells. The expression of Bcl-2 in the endothelial cells was evaluated by RT-PCR and by real time PCR. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and 18S were used as house keeping genes for RT-PCR and real time PCR, respectively. This report unveils a method for quantitative gene expression analysis in cells that were identified by immunostaining and retrieved by LCM from FFPE tissues. This method is ideally suited for the analysis of relatively rare cell types within a tissue, and should improve on our ability to perform differential diagnosis of pathologies as compared to conventional LCM.

[source] Development of chromatic adaptation transforms and concept for their classificationCOLOR RESEARCH & APPLICATION, Issue 3 2006Yoshinobu NayataniArticle first published online: 7 APR 200 Abstract Three types of international recommendations are necessary on CATs (chromatic adaptation transforms). CAT-Type I and CAT-Type II are for general use on chromatic adaptation studies. The former is related to chromatic adaptation theory and the latter to performance on field trial data. In addition, CAT-Type III is necessary for a specific and practical purposes. The need for classifying to CAT-Type I and CAT-Type II is found from a careful inspection of the development process from Nayatani et al. transform to BFD transform, referring to the Ph. D. thesis by Lam (University of Bradford, 1985). The process clearly shows two types of flows on the development of various CATs. One is the flow for deepening the theory of chromatic adaptation (CAT-Type I), and the other is for giving good performance to existing field trial data and also ease of use (CAT-Type II). Additional CAT-Type III is, for example, CAT recommended in CIE TC 8-04 technical report. The CAT is only applicable to compare hardcopy and softcopy images for the specified observing conditions in the report. Still, a difficult problem, determination of corresponding colors, remains in the method of subjective estimation, which is useful and widely used for estimating chromatic adaptation effects experimentally. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

It culls and synthesizes information scattered among a host of articles in academic journals, technical reports, chapters, and books, as well as unpublished papers and manuscripts. It enables human resource development professionals and researchers to determine the absolute and incremental value they are likely to derive by using any one of the tests to assess and develop emotional intelligence among managers and employees.
