The concept of m-learning which differs from other forms of e-learning covers a wide range of possibilities opened up by the convergence of new mobile technologies, wireless communication structure and distance learning development. This process of converging has launched some new goals to support m-learning where heterogeneity of devices, their operating systems (Linux, Windows, Symbian, Android etc) and supported markup languages (WML, XHTML etc), adaptive content, preferences or characteristics of user have become some of the major problems to be solved. To facilitate the learning process even more and to establish literally anytime anywhere learning, learning material/content should be available to the user always even if the user is in offline. Multiple devices used by the same user should also be synchronized among themselves and with server to provide updated learning content and to give a freedom to the user to choose any device as per his/her convenience. In this paper software architecture has been proposed to solve these problems and has been implemented by using a multidimensional flashcard learning system which synchronizes among all the devices that are being used by the user.
Die Ziele des Projekts waren die Einführung der Zellseparations-Technik „Feldfluss-Fraktionierung“ (FFF) zur Analyse und Fraktionierung von Hefezellen zur Weinherstellung, sowie deren Weiterentwicklung und Optimierung für den Praxiseinsatz, insbesondere Auswahl einer einfachen FFF-Variante, Vereinfachung und Kostenoptimierung, um ein für Weinbaubetriebe erschwingliches FFF-Gerät anbieten zu können. Des Weiteren sollten FFF-Techniken als online Überwachung während des Wein-Fermentationsprozesses untersucht werden. Zur Qualitätsüberwachung war es wünschenswert unerwünschte Veränderungen während des Fermentationsprozesses frühzeitig erkennen zu können, um dann zur Qualitätsoptimierung gezielte Maßnahmen gegen unerwünschte Veränderungen vornehmen zu können. Das Projekt war auch dafür gedacht als Modell-Charakter bzw. als Pilotprojekt für andere auf dem Gärungswege durch Mikroorganismen hergestellte Produkte im Lebensmittel- oder biotechnologischen Bereich zu dienen.
Introduction: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular (BV) pacing is an established therapy for heart failure (HF) patients with ventricular desynchronization and reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. The aim of this study was to evaluate electrical ventricular desynchronization with transthoracic and transesophageal signal averaging electrocardiography in HF, to better select patients for CRT.
Methods: 13 HF patients (age 68 ± 10 years; 2 females, 11 males) with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 2.8 ± 0.5, 28.6 ± 12.6 % LV ejection fraction and 155 ± 24 ms QRS duration (QRSD) were analysed with transthoracic and transesophageal electrocardiogram recording and novel National Intruments LabView 2009 signal averaging software. Esophageal TO Osypka catheter was perorally applied to the esophagus and placed in the position of maximum LV de-flection. The 0.05-Hz high-pass filtered surface electrocardiogram and the 10-Hz high-pass filtered bipolar transesophageal electrocardiogram were recorded with Bard EP-System and 1000-Hz sampling rate.
Results: Transesophageal LV electrogram recording was possible in all HF patients (n=13). Transesophageal interventricular conduction delay (IVCD) was 51 ± 19 ms and measured between the earliest onset of QRS in the 12-channel surface electrocardiogram and the onset of the LV deflection in the transesophageal electrocardiogram. Transesophageal intra-left ventricular delay (LVCD) was 90 ± 16 ms and measured between the onset and offset of the LV deflection in the transesophageal electrocardiogram. QRSD to transesophageal IVCD ratio was 3.43 ± 1.31 ms, QRSD to transesophageal LVCD ratio was 1.75 ± 0.28 ms and QRSD was evaluated between onset and offset of QRS signal in the 12-channel surface electrocardiogram.
Conclusion: Determination of IVCD, LVCD, QRSD-to-IVCD-ratio and QRSD-to-LVCD-ratio by transesophageal LV electrogram recording with LabView 2009 signal averaging technique may be useful parameters of ventricular desynchronisation to improve patient selection for CRT.
Introduction: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular (BV) pacing is an established therapy for heart failure (HF) patients with ventricular desynchronisation and reduced left ventricular (LV) function. The aim of this study was to evaluate preejection period (PEP) and left ventricular ejection time (LVET) with transthoracic signal averaging impedance and electrocardiography in HF patients with and without BV pacing.
Methods: 10 HF patients (age 68.9 ± 8 years; 2 females, 9 males) with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 2,9 ± 0.5, 30.9 ± 10.5 % LV ejection fraction and 159.4 ± 22.9 ms QRS duration were analysed with transthoracic impedance and electrocardiography (Cardioscreen Medis, Ilmenau, Germany) and novel National Intruments LabView 2009 signal averaging software. One day after BV pacing device implantation, AV and VV delays were optimized by transthoracic impedance cardiography and stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO) were gained by Cardioscreen.
Results: Transthoracic impedance and electrocardiography AV and VV delay opimization was possible in all HF patients with BV pacing devices (n= 10). PEP was 154 ± 24ms without BV pacing and measured between onset of QRS in the surface electrocardiogram and onset of ventricular deflection in the impedance cardiogram. LVET was 342 ± 65ms without BV pacing and measured between onset and offset of ventricular deflection in the impedance cardiogram. The use of optimal AV and VV delay BV pacing resulted in improvement of SV from 64.1 ± 26.5 ml to 94.1 ± 33.96 ml (P < 0.05) and CO from 4.05 ± 1.36 l/min to 6.44 ± 1.56 l/min (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: PEP and LVET may be useful parameters of ventricular Desynchronisation. AV and VV delay optimized BV pacing improve SV and CO. Impedance and electrocardiography with LabView 2009 signal averaging may be a simple and useful technique to optimize CRT.
Applied Information Technology opens Virtual Platform for the Legacy of Alexander von Humboldt
(2011)
The Humboldt Digital Library (HDL) is a project that aims to provide digital access to the legacy of Alexander von Humboldt. The HDL runs on an open source library developed in the Hochschule Offenburg and provides a virtual research environment in which researchers can work more effectively. This article presents the development made in the HDL to provide alternative ways of content dissemination through the OAI protocol.Through the implemtantion of the OAI-PMH data provider in the HDL, the library is accessibly in many universities and research centers everywhere around the globe.

Erarbeitung von zwei unterschiedlichen Marken- und Werbekonzepten zur Ermittlung der Image- und Gestaltungswirkung. Eine einzigartige Werbemittelgestaltung, abgestimmt auf das Markenimage, die Zielgruppe und den Produktnutzen, ist für die Wirkung auf den Konsumierenden und damit den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg von hoher Bedeutung. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit wurde eine qualitative Untersuchung der Image- und Gestaltungswirkung auf den Konsumierenden durchgeführt. Theoretische Ansätze zum Thema Marken und Werbung in Verbindung mit psychologischen Erklärungen bilden dafür eine fundierte Basis. Als Untersuchungsobjekt fungieren zwei eigen kreierte Werbemittel, welche auf Basis theoretischer Grundlagen für das identische fiktive Produkt erstellt wurden. Bei dem Produkt handelt es sich um einen Energy-Drink, welcher eine junge dynamische Zielgruppe ansprechen soll. Dabei zeigen die teilweise gegensätzlich gestalteten Plakate auf, welche Techniken im Hinblick auf das Produkt sowie die vorher definierte Zielgruppe funktionieren und welche nicht.
Schulgebäude im Liegenschaftsbestand vieler Kommunen treten in den vergangenen Jahren immer stärker ins Interesse der Öffentlichkeit. Viele der Gebäude stammen aus den 70-er oder 80-er Jahren und stehen im Rahmen der Bestandserhaltung für Modernisierungsmaßnahmen an. Insbesondere die hohen Betriebskosten für die Heizung hatten bisher Maßnahmen für den winterlichen Wärmeschutz in den Vordergrund gestellt. Die verstärkt auftretenden sommerlichen Extremtemperaturen an Unterrichtstagen der vergangenen Jahre zeigen zudem einen Handlungsbedarf im Bereich des sommerlichen Wärmeschutzes auf. Für die Aufgaben des Gebäudemanagements und zur Umsetzung eines energieeffizienten Gebäudebetriebs zeigen sich immer stärker die Vorteile einer vielseitig einsetzbaren Gebäudeautomation, die über zentrale Stellen des FM (z.B. Technisches Rathaus) zugänglich ist.
Digital libraries are providing an increasing amount of data, which is normally structured in a classical way by documents and described by metadata as keywords. The data, even in scientific systems such as digital libraries and virtual research environments, will contain a great amount of noise or information unnecessary for our personal interests. Although there has been a lot of progress in the field of information retrieval, search techniques and other content finding methods, there is still much to be done in the field of information retrieval based on user behavior. This paper presents an approach deployed in the Humboldt Digital Library (HDL) to facilitate the retrieval of relevant information to the users of the system, making recommendations of paragraphs based on their profile and the behavior of other users who share similar profiles. The Humboldt digital library represents an innovative system of open access to the legacy of Alexander von Humboldt in a digital form on the Internet (www.avhumboldt.net). It contributes to the key question, how to present interconnected data in a proper form using information technologies.
