The University of Kaiserslautern and the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) are proud to host the KI conference in 2008. 20 years ago, the University’s strong focus on artificial Intelligence (AI) was the decisive factor for the then founded DFKI to be located in the city. Since that time Kaiserslautern has become a hot spot for computer science and AI in particular. The ...

Bewegungen von Personen und Gütern im geografischen Raum werden als räumliche Mobilität bezeichnet. Zum Mobilitätsbegriff gehört die Möglichkeit und Bereitschaft zur Bewegung. Im Verkehr zeigt sich die realisierte Mobilität. Die Verwendung des Begriffs Mobilität betont die individuellen Motive und Hintergründe der Bewegung im Raum. Die Modellierung der Mobilität benötigt also Wissen über Motive...

Kitajska se ponaša z dolgo in bogato tradicijo uporabe denarja numizmatičnih predmetov v ljudskih religijskih vraževerskih praksah. Med najbolj posebne med njimi gotovo spadajo meči iz starih kitajskih novcev, tako imenovani bixie jian (避邪劍) ali »meči, ki preženejo zlo«. Še posebej priljubljeni so bili času dinastije Qing (1644–1912), proti koncu katere vse pogosteje znašli tudi zbirkah evropsk...

The present study was undertaken to find out the in-vitro effect of potassium iodide (KI) on the production of acid phosphatase by fully characterized strain of S.schenckii isolated from a patient of Cutaneous Sporotrichosis. The enzyme acid phosphatase was estimated during the 3 phases of growth of S.schenckii, without and with three concentrations of KI incorporated in the culture medium. In ...

Background and Objective: Changes of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase are involved in pathogenesis of different nervous disorders including Alzheimer’s disease. This research work was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Pistacia lentiscus ethanolic extract on acetylcholinesterase activity. Materials and Methods: Activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was measured by Ellman...

The clinicopathological importance of the Ki-67 labeling index (LI) in breast cancer has been studied intensely; however, its prognostic significance in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is unclear. We aimed to determine the optimal Ki-67 cut-off point to demonstrate its prognostic relevance for breast-cancer-specific survival (BCSS) in TNBC patients. A total of 571 female TNBC patients unde...

background and objective: evaluation of tumor proliferative activity may provide a predicting parameter to estimate biologic aggression and a subsequent prognosis that has been evaluated in many malignancies. we have selected renal cell carcinoma (rcc) in this study. to determine tumor proliferative activity, ki67 antibody was applied and results were compared with apoptosis, applying p53 antib...
