Coalitions are the most common platform for implementing community-level environmental strategies (ES), such as media, policy, or enforcement for substance use prevention. The current study examines the associations between two types of coalition capacity (general and innovation-specific) and ES implementation efforts and outputs within 14 intervention communities over a three-year period. Effo...

E-bikes, which have the potential to reach higher speed levels than conventional bicycles, but look basically the same, are suspected to be at a higher crash risk than such conventional bicycles. Other road users might misjudge the time remaining before the approaching bicycle arrives (time to arrival, TTA) and accept unsafe gaps (e.g. for turning manoeuvres) as a result of this combination of ...

Tight transcriptional control of foreign genes introduced into the germline of transgenic mice would be of great experimental value in studies of gene function. To develop a system in which the spatial and temporal expression of candidate genes implicated in cardiac development or function could be tightly controlled in vivo, we have generated transgenic mice expressing a tetracycline-controlle...

In this study, hydrophilic porous polymer beads with phosphonic acid groups (PGMA-EGDMA-TTA-MP) were synthesized, and assessed as a radioactive strontium-90 sequestrant for the treatment of the radiation emergency. Strontium ions were rapidly absorbed into the blood from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract after oral administration to rats, and distributed to the target organ, i.e., bones. Over 40%...

Several tetracycline-controlled transactivators (tTA) were generated which differ in their activation potential by >3 orders of magnitude. The transactivators are fusions between the Tet repressor and minimal transcriptional activation domains derived from Herpes simplex virus protein 16 (VP16). By reducing the VP16 moiety of the previously described tTA to 12 amino acids, potential targets for...

We report a novel ytterbium complex [Yb(tta)3DFQZ] which exhibited obviously enhanced two-photon sensitized near-infrared luminescence properties of Yb(3+) compared to the usually reported Yb(3+) complexes, with a two-photon excitation action cross-section of 22 GM under excitation at 860 nm at 298 K. Unlike other lanthanide complexes, [Yb(tta)3DFQZ] under nitrogen exhibited quantum yields for ...

Abstract Aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) materials are attractive for the fabrication of high‐efficiency organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) owing to “hot exciton” process by reverse intersystem crossing (hRISC) and high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY). However, internal conversion (IC) from high‐lying triplet excitation states (T n , n≥2) lower excited state n‐1 ) is inevitable, r...

Die meisten der derzeit verfügbaren Frameworks für die Synthese von applikationsspezifischen Prozessoren nutzen, genauso wie auch Hardware Software CoDesign Umgebungen, hardwareseitig RISC basierte Templates oder Erweiterungen für Standard RISC-Prozessoren. Eigenschaften wie Out-of-Order Execution oder Bypassing beschränken die Erweiterbarkeit jedoch. Unser Designansatz für Applikationsspezifis...

The present study evaluates the effects of syrup concentrations of natural raisin microflora culture on the characteristics of sourdough and sourdough bread. The original total titratable acidity (TTA) of the starter solutions were between 10.30 and 10.45 mL, after 96 hours of incubation, the TTA of the starter solution increased to 11.30-11.85 mL. The greatest pH decrease and TTA increase occu...
