Kartenansichten auf mobilen Displays werden heute oftmals aus verschiedenen Rasterkacheln (sog. Rastertiles) zusammengesetzt, die als vorgerenderte, kleine Rasterbilder auf einem Server liegen. Entscheidende Nachteile dabei sind, dass einerseits große Datenmengen transportiert werden und andererseits, dass das Kartenbild auf verschiedenen Displays unterschiedlich dargestellt wird. Am Beispiel e...

Stochastic multicomponent reactive transport modeling is a powerful approach to quantify the probability of non-exceedance (PNE) arsenic (As) critical concentration thresholds in groundwater. The applied well-characterized shallow alluvial aquifer near Venice, Italy. Here, As mobility depends primarily on rainfall-controlled redox-dependent precipitation-dissolution iron hydroxides. A Monte-Car...

The anomalies literature in capital markets research in finance and accounting is based (almost) exclusively on average realized returns. In contrast, we construct accountingbased expected returns for dollar-neutral long-short trading strategies formed on a wide array of anomaly variables, including book to market, size, composite issuance, net stock issues, abnormal investment, asset growth, i...

Incubational binding or the fraction of drug unbound in an in vitro incubation, fuinc, is an important parameter to predict or measure in the pursuit of accurate clearance predictions from in vitro data. Here we describe a method for fuinc determination directly in the hepatocyte intrinsic clearance (CLint) assay with emphasis on compounds that are actively transported into hepatocytes, hypothe...

Light-sensitive ‘caged’ molecules provide a means of rapidly and noninvasively manipulating biochemical signals with submicron spatial resolution. Here we describe a new optical system for rapid uncaging in arbitrary patterns to emulate complex neural activity. This system uses TeO2 acousto-optical deflectors to steer an ultraviolet beam rapidly and can uncage at over 20,000 locations per secon...

Background and Objectives: Preparation and evaluation of nanocomposite films have become prevalent in recent years. Depending on the purpose of using the film, and considering the effects and interaction effects of nanomaterial and other modifiers on the film properties, the amounts of nanomaterials and modifiers should be optimized. The effects of montmorillonite (MMT), glycerol (GL), and thei...

metabolic diseases in china have been on the rise in recent decades, partially due to reduced cereal consumption and excessive intake of low glycemic index (gi) foods such as meat and oil. although the relationship between dietary glycemic load (gl) and various metabolic diseases has been extensively studied worldwide, it is unclear whether dietary gl is related to blood lipid levels and dyslip...

OBJECTIVE To study dietary glycaemic index (GI) and glycaemic load (GL) in association with physical performance in elderly Europeans. DESIGN Cross-sectional and prospective study. Physical performance was measured using the Physical Performance Test (PPT) score on a scale from 0 to 27, where high scores indicate a better physical performance. Habitual diets were measured using diet history i...
