Remote sensing has more advantages than the traditional methods of land surface water (LSW) mapping because it is a low-cost, reliable information source that is capable of making high-frequency and repeatable observations. The normalized difference water indexes (NDWIs), calculated from various band combinations (green, near-infrared (NIR), or shortwave-infrared (SWIR)), have been successfully...

Ziele. Mit dem Projekt „ali – Aachener eLeitprogramme der Informatik“ verfolgen wir mehrere Ziele, die dazu beitragen sollen, Lehrkräften gute Unterrichtsbeispiele zur Verfügung zu stellen und die Arbeitsweise einer „fremden“ Unterrichtsvorbereitung sowie den Einsatz digitaler Medien zu etablieren. Zum einen sollen aktuelle Unterrichtsinhalte der Informatik mit konkret ausgearbeiteten Beispiele...

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a lung disease characterized by pulmonary edema and severe hypoxia. The past decade hosted a search for endogenous mechanisms controlling lung inflammation and pulmonary edema during ALI. As such, recent evidence indicates extracellular adenosine in orchestrating the resolution of pulmonary edema and inflammation during ALI.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is characterized by the presence of dysregulated coagulation and inflammation. Therefore, Waerhaug and colleagues hypothesized that administration of activated protein C (APC) via the inhaled route would be a novel and effective treatment for ALI. They demonstrated that inhaled APC improved oxygenation and lung aeration in a sheep model of lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI,...
