Aktive Muskeldehntestung der ischiocruralen Muskulatur: Referenzwerte und Einflussfaktoren

2013

Einleitung: Eine verminderte Dehnfahigkeit der ischiocruralen Muskulatur fuhrt zu einem erhohten Verletzungsrisiko. Ziel ist deshalb die Herstellung einer muskularen Balance. Der Active-Knee-Extension-Test (AKE) uberpruft die Dehnfahigkeit der ischiocruralen Muskulatur. Da die bislang verfugbaren „Referenzwerte“ einem Kollektiv von wenigen mannlichen Probanden entstammen, ist deren Aussagekraft nur eingeschrankt verwertbar. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist daher die Erhebung von Referenzwerten an einem grosen gemischtgeschlechtlichen Probandenkollektiv gesunder Fitnesssportler sowie die Ermittlung von Einflussfaktoren auf die aktive Dehnfahigkeit der ischiocruralen Muskulatur. Material und …

Veränderung des Schmeckvermögens bei Patienten mit Vestibularisschwannom

2014

Das Vestiularisschwannom ist ein gutartiger Tumor. Klinisch wird die Erkrankung durch die Kardinalsymptome einseitige Hörminderung, Tinnitus und Gleichgewichtsstörungen auffällig. Auf Grund der anatomischen Enge im Bereich des inneren Gehörganges kann es auch zu Affektionen des N.[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]

Testing Hadronic Interactions at Ultrahigh Energies with Air Showers Measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory

2016

Ultrahigh energy cosmic ray air showers probe particle physics at energies beyond the reach of accelerators. Here we introduce a new method to test hadronic interaction models without relying on the absolute energy calibration, and apply it to events with primary energy 6-16 EeV (ECM=110-170 TeV), whose longitudinal development and lateral distribution were simultaneously measured by the Pierre Auger Observatory. The average hadronic shower is 1.33±0.16 (1.61±0.21) times larger than predicted using the leading LHC-tuned models EPOS-LHC (QGSJetII-04), with a corresponding excess of muons.

Neurochemical substrates of the rewarding effects of MDMA: implications for the development of pharmacotherapies to MDMA dependence.

2015

In recent years, studies with animal models of reward, such as the intracranial self-stimulation, self-administration, and conditioned place preference paradigms, have increased our knowledge on the neurochemical substrates of the rewarding effects of 3,4-methylenedioxymetamphetamine (MDMA) in rodents. However, pharmacological and neuroimaging studies with human participants are scarce. Serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)], dopamine (DA), endocannabinoids, and endogenous opiates are the main neurotransmitter systems involved in the rewarding effects of MDMA in rodents, but other neurotransmitters such as glutamate, acetylcholine, adenosine, and neurotensin are also involved. The most impo…

Communication Interface Generation For HW/SW Architecture In The STARSoC Environment

2006

Mapping the application functionality to software and hardware requires automated methods to specify, generate and optimize the hardware, software, and the interface architectures between them. In this paper, we present a methodology flow to hardware-software communication synthesis for system-on-a-chip (SoC) design through STARSoC (Synthesis Tool for Adaptive and Reconfigurable System-on-a-Chip) tool for rapid prototyping. Our concept consists of a set of hardware and software processes, described in C-code, communicates through the streams channels. This methodology consists in analyzing dependences of data between processes and synthesis a custom architecture to interface it. Firstly, we…

Synthetic individual binaural audio delivery by pinna image processing

2014

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a system for customized binaural audio delivery based on the extraction of relevant features from a 2-D representation of the listener’s pinna. Design/methodology/approach – The most significant pinna contours are extracted by means of multi-flash imaging, and they provide values for the parameters of a structural head-related transfer function (HRTF) model. The HRTF model spatializes a given sound file according to the listener’s head orientation, tracked by sensor-equipped headphones, with respect to the virtual sound source. Findings – A preliminary localization test shows that the model is able to statically render the elevation of a vi…

Promoting coordination in Norwegian health care

2011

This is the journal's version originally published in International Journal of Integrated Care. This article is designet as ”Open Access”. © International Journal of Integrated Care: http://www.ijic.org/index.php/ijic/index Introduction: The Norwegian health care system is well organized within its two main sectors - primary health and long term care on the one hand, and hospitals and specialist services on the other. However, the relation between them lacks mediating structures. Policy practice: Enhancing coordination between primary and secondary health care has been central in Norwegian health care policy the last decade. In 2003 a committee was appointed to identify coordination problem…
