German Registry for Acute Aortic Dissection Type A (GERAADA)--new software design, parameters and their definitions.
2011
BACKGROUND The working group for aortic surgery and interventional vascular surgery of the German Society for Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (GSTCVS) initiated the web-based German Registry for Acute Aortic Dissection type A (GERAADA). It is the project's aim to collect standardized data from a large pool of patients with acute aortic dissections type A (AADA) to gain a deeper insight and knowledge to improve surgical therapies and perioperative management for these patients in the future. METHODS In addition to new medical insights, the working group has gained more experience over the last 4 years in how to collect valid and high-quality data. This experience led us to revise the dat…
Measurement of the chi(b) (3 P) mass and of the relative rate of chi(b1) (1 P) and chi(b2) (1 P) production
2014
The production of $\chi_b$ mesons in proton-proton collisions is studied using a data sample collected by the LHCb detector, at centre-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$ TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$. The $\chi_b$ mesons are identified through their decays to $\Upsilon(1S)\gamma$ and $\Upsilon(2S)\gamma$ using photons that converted to $e^+e^-$ pairs in the detector. The $\chi_b(3P)$ meson mass, and the relative prompt production rate of $\chi_{b1}(1P)$ and $\chi_{b2}(1P)$ mesons as a function of the $\Upsilon(1S)$ transverse momentum in the $\chi_b$ rapidity range 2.0< $y$<4.5, are measured. Assuming a mass splitting between the $\chi_{b1}(3P)$ an…
Suicide and Ambient Temperature: A Multi-Country Multi-City Study
2019
Background: Previous literature suggests that higher ambient temperature may play a role in increasing the risk of suicide. However, no multi-country study has explored the shape of the association and the role of moderate and extreme heat across different locations. Objectives: We examined the short-term temperature–suicide relationship using daily time-series data collected for 341 locations in 12 countries for periods ranging from 4 to 40 y. Methods: We conducted a two-stage meta-analysis. First, we performed location-specific time-stratified case-crossover analyses to examine the temperature–suicide association for each location. Then, we used a multivariate meta-regression to combine t…
Mittel- und nordeuropäische Weberknechte aus dem Senckenberg Museum Frankfurt (Arachnida: Opiliones)
2005
Central and North European harvestmen from the Senckenberg Museum Frankfurt (Arachnida: Opiliones). About 1100 individuals belonging to 32 opilionid species (300 series), mainly of German origin, were identified based on material provided by, and stored at, the Senckenberg Museum, Frankfurt (Main). A list of all species with habitat information is included. Comments on two remarkable species (Oligolophus hanseni, Odiellus spinosus) are given. The comments include the importance of some series as reference material from MARTENS (1978), additions to regional faunas and the expansion of the known distribution of some thermophilous species.
Nie tylko inżynier. Gabriel Narutowicz i jego działalność na rzecz sprawy polskiej w okresie I wojny światowej
2021
For years, there have been many opinions according to which Gabriel Narutowicz is known only because in December 1922 he was “accidentally” elected the president of the Republic of Poland and then murdered in dramatic circumstances. His professional achievements are very often overlooked in such narratives. The poorly known threads of his biography also include his commitment to the Polish cause during the Great War. And it was then, as a Swiss citizen and a respected engineer with a European reputation, actively engaged in helping Poles staying within the borders of this mountainous country. Narutowicz, about which the article is about, was also an intermediary in providing financial suppo…
Neptunium(V) Sorption and Diffusion in Opalinus Clay
2009
The sorption and diffusion behavior of 8 x 10(-6) M Np(V) in Opalinus Clay (OPA) with synthetic pore water (pH 7.6) as mobile phase was studied under ambient conditions by batch and diffusion experiments, respectively. The Kd value determined by batch experiments with OPA suspensions is equal to 0.025 +/- 0.005 m3/kg. The diffusion-accessible porosity epsilon of intact OPA as determined by through- and out-diffusion experiments with tritiated water (HTO) is equal to 0.15 +/- 0.01. The diffusion coefficient De and the rock capacity factor alpha of 22Na+ in OPA were measured by through-, out-, and in-diffusion experiments and asserted the reliability of these diffusion techniques. For the dif…
Procedūras cīņai ar naudas atmazgāšanu attīstītajās valstīs
2019
Maģistra darba mērķis ir izprast finanšu iestāžu, konkrētāk, banku un starpnieku uzņēmumu atšķirības un attieksmi saistībā ar cīņu pret naudas atmazgāšanu. Precīzāk, šī pētījuma mērķis ir padziļināti izpētīt finanšu iestāžu procedūras un kāpēc daudzas iestādes šo problēmu neuztver tik nopietni. Lai izpētītu šos mērķus, tika veikta virkne analīžu, un izvirzīti galvenie uzdevumi: •Izprast problēmas vēsturisko pamatu •Izpētīt naudas atmazgāšanas un analītiskās sistēmas apkarošanas metodes •Salīdzināt finanšu iestāžu pārstāvju izvēlētās metodes cīņai pret naudas atmazgāšanu Pētījums parādīja, ka ne visas finanšu iestādes sniedz atskaites saistībā ar aizdomīgiem darījumiem. Kā arī šķietami attīs…
Entanglements, transmission processes and social identities. The technical traditions of ceramics in the Three-Lakes region and its margins (3600-300…
2019
In Western Europe, the second half of the 4th millennium is a turning point. On the Swiss Plateau, this phase is characterized by the end of Middle Neolithic cultures (Cortaillod and Pfyn) around 3550 BCE, and the emergence of Horgen after 3250 BCE. The transition between these two phases is now better documented thanks to Port-Conty type and Pfyn/Horgen settlements dated around 3400 BCE. This work aims to identify the cultural substract at the origin of the Horgen by characterizing the technical identities and entanglements at the end of the 4th millennium, then by identifying over time the transmission or abandonment of certain ways of making pots in order to determine the share of local …

Pathways to higher education in France and Switzerland: the aspirations of first and second generation immigrants and the permeability of educational…
2013
Using panel data from France (DEPP) and Switzerland (TREE) the pathways to higher education in the two countries were analysed, looking specifically at the accessibly of higher education through different educational tracks while taking into account different characteristics of the students, i.e. gender and different immigrant backgrounds. How the institutional settings in both countries influence access to higher education with a special interest in the integrative function of vocational baccalaureate certificates. If the educational characteristics of the North African youths in France and those of students with Turkish or former Yugoslavian background in Switzerland were similar to those…
