This report is prepared for The Hemostasis and Oxygenation Research (THOR) Network and based on presentations of invited THOR investigators. In order to make it available to a larger group of interested readers it has been agreed to publish the report in TRASCI, as a "what is happening?" in view of its importance and novelty. On June 14th 2011 the first symposium on fresh whole blood (FWB) was ...

The 1991 Credit Lyonnais court ruling expanded the fiduciary duties of managers towards debtholders in near-insolvent Delaware firms. Differences-in-differences tests reveal that innovation efficiency increased among all Delaware firms following the ruling. Further, Delaware firms close to (far from) insolvency reduced (expanded) their R&D expenditures and innovation output. Both sets of firms ...

The recently proposed House Of inteRactions (AI2THOR) framework [35] provides an simulation environment for high quality 3D scenes. Together with THOR, a Targetdriven model is introduced to improve generalization capabilities. Imitation learning or learning by demonstration is known to be more effective in communicating task. In this project, we extend the Target-driven model by exploring both ...

This paper will discuss the advances in biofidelity and injury assessment provided by the THOR Frontal Crash Test Dummy, particularly in regard to use by the aircraft safety industry. Following a brief background on the THOR development project, injury data from the Kegworth crash in 1989 will be presented to exemplify the specific types and severity of injuries which may occur in a commercial ...

This conversation between Thor Magnusson and Claudia Molitor introduces the idea of composition as cultural technology, where compositions are understood systems that create spaces within which ...

The study of changes in protein-DNA interactions measured by ChIP-seq on dynamic systems, such as cell differentiation, response to treatments or the comparison of healthy and diseased individuals, is still an open challenge. There are few computational methods comparing changes in ChIP-seq signals with replicates. Moreover, none of these previous approaches addresses ChIP-seq specific experime...

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the many tests involving the THOR-NT advanced frontal impact dummy that are contained within the NHTSA test database. Since its release in 2005, NHTSA has collected data from over one hundred tests involving the THOR-NT. These include sled tests, vehicle tests, and component tests at different speeds and configurations. This paper serves as a refe...

Larvae of the water mite species Hydryphantes clypeatus Thor, 1899 are described for the first time, and redescriptions of the larvae H. dispar (Schaub, 1888) and H. planus Thon, 1899 are presented. The present data suggest that H. clypeatus and H. hellichi Thor, 1899, two species recently considered as a junior synonyms of H. planus resp. H. ruber (Geer, 1787) should be recognized as separate ...
