The Ulm Sparrows 2001

چکیده
The Ulm Sparrows team is an student-oriented, interdisciplinary research effort at the University of Ulm. The team is active in both the simulation and the middle-size league, but simulation efforts are targeted towards supporting the middle-size league robot team. We competed in the RoboCup World Championships in Paris (1998) [5] and Stockholm (1999, quarterfinals) [7], the European RoboCup Championships in Amsterdam (2000, semifinals) [4], plus a number of national events in Germany. For time and budget constraints, we could not participate in Melbourne in 2000. Due to its strong foundation in student activity, the team was facing a major overhaul of its personnel in the past two years. Except for two undergraduates, all former team members graduated or finished their Ph.Ds. and left the team. However, we could attract a number of young, dedicated, and promising students, and with Hans Utz we found a new first-year Ph.D. student who will coach the robot team. In addition, we made progress in ensuring continuing team support by successfully applying to research funding in the Priority Programme of the German Research Foundation (DFG). This paper describes some early results of the newly formed team and some promising proofs of concept of The Ulm Sparrows Robot Team 2001.

متن کاملA Survey of Neospora caninum infection in sparrows (Passer domesticus) in Khuzestan Province, Iran
The present study reports the presence of N. caninum DNA by PCR in brain tissues of house sparrows. The results showed that 6 (2.8%) of brain samples were positive for N. caninum. This is the first report for detection of N. caninum in sparrows, in Khuzestan Province. The results suggest that the meat of infected sparrows can be the source for dogs' infection.

Legionella infections caused by contaminated water are a widespread problem worldwide. Discharge lamps like mercury vapor lamps are widely known for the disinfection properties of their radiation, but they suffer technical disadvantages, like high voltages and toxic content, and are, therefore, not suitable for some infection control applications. New high-intensity ultraviolet (UV) an...
