Die weit verbreitete Klassifikationsbaum-Methode [1] erlaubt, unter Verwendung des CTE XL Professional [2] oder des CTE XL [3], die automatische Generierung von Testfallmengen für underschiedliche Testobjekte. Die in der Praxis ebenso wichtige Erstellung von Testsequenzen wird von den genannten Werkzeugen bislang nur manuell unterstützt. Berner & Mattner arbeitet daher an Generierungsmechanisme...

The growing awareness of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) has the potential to change the public perception and on-field rules of the National Football League (NFL). More than 3,000 ex-NFL players or their relatives are engaged in litigation alleging that the NFL failed to acknowledge and address the neuropsychiatric risks associated with brain injuries that result from playing in the NFL...

Objectives: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inborn error of metabolism with significant morbidity and mortality. Its presentation is non-specific leading to delay or missed diagnosis. Low ALP is a diagnostic test. Unlike high ALP, low level is commonly un-flagged by laboratories as abnormal. A new treatment has proved to be effective in HPP. We aim to study frequency of flagging of low ALP level b...

To date, the most prevalent model for transport of pre-proteins to plant mitochondria is based on the activity of an N-terminal extension serving as a targeting peptide. Whether the efficient delivery of proteins to mitochondria is based exclusively on the action of the N-terminal extension or also on that of other protein determinants has yet to be defined. A novel mechanism is reported here f...

The acute and long-term consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI) have received increased attention in recent years. In this Review, we discuss the neuropathology and neural mechanisms associated with TBI, drawing on findings from sports-induced TBI in athletes, in whom acute TBI damages axons and elicits both regenerative and degenerative tissue responses in the brain and in whom repeated c...

CoY hexaferrite-filled PEEK (poly ethyl ether ketone) compositeswere synthesized to characterize the effect of hexaferrites on their dielectric, magnetic and thermal properties for wireless sensing and communication applications. Fillers were synthesized from solid-state reaction route and blendedwith the thermoplastic polymermatrix.XRDwas used to study the phase purity of the synthesised fille...

Congenital tufting enteropathy (CTE) is a rare autosomal recessive diarrheal disorder where epithelial tufts can be present from the duodenum to the large intestine. CTE has been linked to mutations in the epithelial cell adhesion molecule gene (EpCAM) Sivagnanam et al. (2008). We recently reported the first case with a nonsense mutation in EpCAM Sivagnanam et al. (2010). Here, we explored the ...

Ionization and bulk radiation damage e ects in a two-phase CCD, operated in a Multi Pinned Phase (MPP) mode have been evaluated. Two-phase CCD's are one of the candidates for application in the vertex detector of a future linear collider. Flat-band voltage shifts, dark current, dark current spikes and charge transfer e ciency (CTE) were studied on devices, subjected to irradiation with uencies ...
