A simple 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde (receptor 1) serves as a selective chemosensor for Al(3+) based on chelation-enhanced fluorescence (CHEF). The receptor 1 exhibited a high association constant with micromolar detection for Al(3+) in EtOH-H(2)O solution.

Wir möchten in diesem Format einen großen ostdeutschen Rheumatologen, unseren ehemaligen Chef, Emeritus Herrn Prof. Dr. med. habil. Hans-Egbert Schröder anlässlich seines 80. Geburtstages würdigen.

We present an efficient protocol for robust detection of 3D blobs from volumetric datasets. The approach has three steps. The first step of the process detects elliptic features by classifying the Hessian of the scale space representation of the volume data. These features are then grouped into 3D connected components, which are subsequently partitioned by computing a convex hull of each connec...

We report a study conducted at Underhill School in North London designed to assess the immediate impact of culinary class with chef on students' willingness choose and eat unfamiliar vegetable-based food beverage options. A total 98 school children were randomly assigned take part either 40-min sensory exploration cooking Jozef Youssef Kitchen Theory team (the experimental condition) or else cr...

In this paper we examine requirements for an infrastructure that supports implementation and deployment of smart things in the real world. We describe a case study (RFID Chef) where kitchen items and ingredients, equipped with remotely accessible electronic tags, drive an interactive context-aware recipe finder through the use of an event-based infrastructure.
