BUSINESS VALUE • Significant savings. MTS expects a significant reduction in TCO, due to lower hardware and support costs as well as simplified management, virtualization, lower power consumption, and lower software licensing costs. In total it expects these savings could amount to up to USD 60 million (EUR 46.5 million) over seven years when migration to x86 is complete across all Russian regions

Here for the first time, we demonstrate novel DSSCs with a Pt- and TCO-free counter electrode, which have a highly conductive polymer exhibiting high catalytic ability and charge transport, and the photovoltaic performance increases as we increase the PEDOT film conductivity.

The scattering properties of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films into dielectric and semiconductor surrounding media are modeled and compared to experiment. The new approach is not only valid for smooth optical films but also for films with enhanced roughness in order to generate light trapping structures for thin film solar cells. ©2010 Optical Society of America.

The pretargeting system based on the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction (IEDDA) between trans-cyclooctene (TCO) and tetrazine (Tz) combines the favorable pharmacokinetic properties of radiolabeled small molecules with the affinity and specificity of antibodies. This strategy has proven to be an efficient method for the molecularly targeted delivery of pharmaceuticals, including isotop...

This paper presents the complete and consistent ontological annotation of the nominal part of WordNet. The annotation has been carried out using the semantic features defined in the EuroWordNet Top Concept Ontology and made available to the NLP community. Up to now only an initial core set of 1,024 synsets, the so-called Base Concepts, was ontologized in such a way. The work has been achieved b...

PURPOSE A recent laboratory study demonstrated that the ingestion of a cold/menthol beverage improved exercise performance in a hot and humid environment during 20 km of all-out cycling. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine whether the ingestion of cold water/ice-slurry with menthol would improve performance in hot and humid outdoor conditions. METHODS Ten trained males completed...

Mit dem zunehmenden Einsatz von E-Learning-Plattformen rücken verstärkt Wirtschaftlichkeitsaspekte in den Betrachtungsmittelpunkt, die Methoden zur Ermittlung systembedingter Servicekosten voraussetzen. Zu diesem Zweck wird eine dienstorientierte Adaption des TCO-Modells in Form der Total Cost of Services (TCS) vorgeschlagen. Zur administrativen Unterstützung von Lehrund Lernprozessen werden Le...
