Identification of Igσ and Igλ in channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus , and Igλ in Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua
March 31, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”a name=”Abs1″/aspan class=”AbstractHeading”Abstractnbsp;nbsp;/spanImmunoglobulin light (IGL) chain genes encoding σ and λ from channel catfish, iIctalurus punctatus/i, and λ from Atlantic cod, iGadus morhua/i, were identified by mining of expressed sequence tag databases, 5′-RACE and RT-PCR protocols. cDNAs for each of these IGL
chains encode typical variable (V), joining (J), and constant (C) regions and Southern blot analyses and genomic sequencing
show that genes encoding these isotypes, like other teleost IGL genes, are found in a cluster organization of one or two V
gene segments, followed by single J and C gene segments, all in the same transcriptional orientation. However, unlike the
teleost κ genes, genes encoding catfish σ and λ are few in number and the two isotypes are each encoded by only two clusters.
Similarly, Atlantic cod λ genes are predicted to be encoded by two or three clusters. As expected, sequence and phylogenetic
analyses comparisons demonstrate that catfish Vσ and Cσ genes are most similar to Vσ and Cσ genes of other ectothermic vertebrates.
Although catfish and Atlantic cod Vλ genes cluster with other vertebrate Vλ genes, their Cλ sequences cluster in a distinct
group separate from other vertebrate IGL C sequences. However, support for classifying these sequences as λ, is their V and
J recombination signal sequence (RSS) organization. The catfish and Atlantic cod genes have typical λ-like RSS with the Vλ
RSS consisting of heptamer-23nbsp;bp spacer-nonamer and the Jλ RSS consisting of heptamer-12nbsp;bp spacer-nonamer. This is the first
report demonstrating the presence of Igλ in teleosts.

Comparison of LCMV Beamforming and Second-Order Statistics BSS
March 30, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”Adaptive LCMV beamforming algorithms have been presented in Chap. 4. In Chaps. 5–7, we have examined NG-SOS-BSS algorithms.
Both approaches pursue the same objective, namely to reduce interference signals. This chapter gives a side-by-side comparison
of these two approaches.
div class=”AbstractPara”
div class=”"Originally, convolutive blind signal separation (BSS) techniques have been developed within Widrow’s adaptive identification
framework [38, 90]. This forms a basis for a natural connection between blind source separation and beamforming. Moreover,
as pointed out by Cardoso and Souloumiac in the context of narrowband array processing, BSS techniques achieve the separation
by filtering the microphone signals spatially, hence the term “blind beamforming” [21]. This similarity is important to understand
the theory. By extracting independent signals out of a mixture, BSS actually forms multiple null beams in the direction of
interfering sources [10]. This “equivalence” clearly indicates that sources which are spatially close to each other (or aligned)
are inot/i any better separated by BSS-based array processing than by adaptive LCMV beamforming.

p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”Wissen ist mittlerweile unverzichtbar für den entscheidenden Vorsprung auf dem Markt. Unabhängig davon, ob sich das Wissen
in Innovationen, neuen Produkten und Dienstleistungen oder in der Verbesserung interner Unternehmensprozesse manifestiert:
Wissen ist Treiber von Innovation, Wissen bringt Schnelligkeit und Wissen ist die Voraussetzung für Problemlösungen [40].
Wissensmanagement ist daher der Schlüssel für Unternehmenserfolg und bezeichnet den „bewussten und systematischen Umgang mit
der Ressource Wissen und den zielgerichteten Einsatz von Wissen in der Organisation“ [6]. In dieser umfassenden Sichtweise
ist Wissensmanagement ein Begriff, der Konzepte, Strategien und Methoden umfasst.

eMarketing
March 27, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”This chapter shows how eMarketing or online marketing develops market potential and business relations by effectively utilizing
information and communication. The change from undifferentiated and later segment-oriented to mass customized marketing is
illustrated in Sect. 4.1. A comparison of the various communications media is performed in Sect. 4.2. In Sect. 4.3, online
customers are divided into classes in order to carry out a differentiated treatment of electronic markets and to adapt appropriate
services on the web site. Performance indicators measure the awareness of an offer by online surfers, the degree of interaction
with online consumers, the value contributed by the online prosumer, the number of deals with online buyers, and connections
with key online customers. The characteristics of online promotion, namely customized push, content management and advertising
banners, are summarized in Sect. 4.4. Prospects for the development of eMarketing are discussed in Sect. 4.5. Additional literature
are compiled in Sect. 4.6.

Experimental evaluation of side-loads in LE-7A prototype engine nozzle
March 26, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”a name=”Abs1″/aspan class=”AbstractHeading”Abstractnbsp;nbsp;/spanDuring development tests of the LE-7A prototype engine, severe side-loads were observed. The side-load peaks appeared only
in certain limited conditions during start-up and shut-down transients. To investigate phenomena causing those severe side-loads
observed in the LE-7A prototype engine nozzle, series of cold-flow tests and hot-firing tests as well as CFD analyses were
conducted. As a result of the hot-firing tests, two different phenomena were found to cause severe side-loads in the LE-7A
prototype engine nozzle. One was a restricted shock separation (RSS) flow structure and the other was a phenomenon termed
“separation jump,” the rapid movement of the separation location in the vicinity of the step. A step was installed in the
LE-7A prototype to supply film-cooling gas. Hot-firing test results showed that RSS can occur for a limited mixture ratio.
Detailed flow structure of RSS on the nozzle surface was revealed by the cold-flow tests. Measured pressures and visualized
images of cold-flow tests clarified the mechanism causing the separation jump. The key phenomenon ruling the separation jump
was found to be the base flow behind the step. Based on the results of the present study, the latest LE-7A engine nozzle design
has been changed to eliminate the severe side-load.

Hybridizing Your System
March 25, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”We’ve spent quite a bit of time trying to raise the comfort factor in making a transition from Linux to Mac OS X. It’s clear
that much of what can be done on one system can be done on another, although the path to similar tasks may vary. The systems
share a common ancestor, after all, in UNIX. BSD is UNIX. Mac OS X is based on BSD, although it also contains quite a bit
of proprietary code. And Linux is really a close cousin. BSD can run Linux applications, provided the optional Linux emulation
layer is selected as an install component. Linux, however, can’t run BSD applications. Add to that basic differences in binary
formats, and it’s not always clear how a specific tool or process will translate from one platform to the other.

Implosion of Numbers

p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”“The traditional concept of space is a concept based on perspective. It was developed half a millennium ago and perceived
space from a fixed and absolute viewpoint as being an endless, homogeneous and three-dimensional expansion. The decisive novelty
brought about by cubism was the displacement of this absolute perspective by a relative one. Artists experience the space’s
unreal comprehensiveness as its essential element … and that one has to move through space to be able to really experience
it as being three-dimensional” [cite1/cite].

Modernisierungspotentiale im Monotheismus und Modernisierungsblockaden im fundamentalistischen Islam
March 22, 2009 | Comments Off
p class=”abstract”div class=”Abstract”Die folgenden Ausführungen kreisen unter dem Gesichtspunkt der Besonderheiten des Islam um die Begriffe Säkularisierung. Modernisierung
und Fundamentalismus und den inneren Zusammenhang dessen, was sie bezeichnen. Dabei wird eine grobe analytische und zugleich
historische Skizze entworfensup2/sup, die keineswegs den Anspruch erheben kann, auf eigenen religionsge-schichtlichen Recherchen zu beruhen. Sie soll vielmehr,
wo religionswissenschaftliche Ansätze mir entweder zu vorsichtig, weil Bewertungen unbedingt vermeidend, oder zu deskriptiv
erschienen, als Heuristik dienen, den islamischen Fundamentalismus analytisch zu verstehen und einzuordnen. Sie wird in vielen
Hinsichten spekulativ und wenig abgesichert, grob und nicht ohne Stereotypien sein. Das ist auch darauf zurückzuführen, daß
die angemessene Behandlung der mit dem Islam zusammenhängenden politischen Problemstellungen inzwischen zu einem schwierigen
und vielfach belasteten Geschäft von Spezialisten sich entwickelt hat und ich mich keineswegs zu diesen zählen darf.
