This paper reports on our work in the Transregional Collaborative Research Center Spatial Cognition (SFB/TR8). The aim of this research is to achieve a natural and effective dialogic interaction between a human and an intelligent robot on spatial navigation tasks. Therefore, we have introduced a conceptual level representation of human spatial knowledge on top of the robot’s quantitative repres...

In the current study, we investigated that how sagittal femoral bowing can affect the sagittal alignment of the femoral component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). There were 25 patients underwent TKA. Long leg radiography in lateral view was performed. The sagittal femoral bowing (SFB) and component alignment in relation to the sagittal mechanical axis and distal anterior cortical line (DACL) ...

thirty two multiparous holstein cows were used in a randomized block design to investigate the effects of feeding diets included two different source of nonfiber carbohydrate during the transition period on dry matter intake (dmi), lactational performance, blood metabolites and parturitional characteristics. cows received total mixed rations containing either macaroni wastes(mw) or steam-flaked...

This year ́s Spatial Cognition 2008 (SC ‘08) continued a successful series of international and interdisciplinary conferences on spatial cognition held in Germany. SC’08 was organized by the Transregional Collaborative Research Center SFB/TR8 Spatial Cognition in cooperation with the Spatial Intelligence and Learning Center (SILC). SC‘08 took place at Schloss Reinach, an estate near Freiburg im ...

OBJECTIVES In the paranasal sinus fungal ball (SFB), changes that occur in the underlying bone have not been well described. Recently, bacterial coinfection has been reported in patients with paranasal SFB. We evaluated whether bone changes occur in patients with unilateral maxillary SFB, and also how bacteria in an SFB affect the bony wall of the sinus. METHODS A retrospective study of patie...

This paper describes and evaluates Stochastic Fair Blue(SFB), a novel technique for enforcing fairness among a large number of flows. SFB scalably detects and rate-limits non-responsive flows through the use of a marking probability derived from the BLUE queue management algorithm and a Bloom filter. Using analysis and simulation, SFB is shown to effectively handle non-responsive flows using an...

Chromosomal aberrations were comparatively assessed in nuclei extracted from synovial tissue, primary-culture (P-0) synovial cells, and early-passage synovial fibroblasts (SFB; 98% enrichment; P-1, P-4 [passage 1, passage 4]) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA; n = 21), osteoarthritis (OA; n = 24), and other rheumatic diseases. Peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) and skin fibroblasts (F...

COVID-19 can cause acute and chronic neurological symptoms. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, the involved immune cells, their spatial distribution, cellular interactions role of virus tropism remain largely unclear. Here, we deeply interrogated brain stem olfactory bulb in patients with imaging mass cytometry to understand local response at a spatially resolved, high-dimensional si...

As a member of the indigenous gut mucosal microbiota, segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) colonize the guts of a variety of vertebrates and invertebrates. They are potent microbial stimuli of the gut mucosal immune system. In the small intestines of mice and rats, it has been observed that SFB are absent during the suckling period and appear in high numbers shortly after weaning, then quickly ...

Sorbitol-fermenting Bifidobacteria (SFB) proved to be an excellent indicator of very recent human faecal pollution (hours to days) in the investigated tropical stream and groundwater habitats. SFB were recovered from human faeces and sources potentially contaminated with human excreta. SFB were undetectable in animal faeces and environmental samples not contaminated with human faeces. Microcosm...
