purpose: to evaluate agreement between galilei, orbscan ii, and placido disk-based topography in terms of keratometry readings, and anterior and posterior elevation. methods: in this prospective comparative study, 184 eyes of 92 keratorefractive surgery candidates were evaluated with galilei, orbscan ii, and placido disk-based topography. keratometry readings and anterior and posterior elevatio...

permanent facial paralysis is a catastrophic event for involved patients. in long lasting paralysis with severe facial muscles atrophy, masseter muscle transfer is a very good choice. but its greatest problem is postoperative elongation of flap and gradual diminishing of early results and loss of symmetry. this article advocate a new modification for resolving this problem with concomitant elev...

background: studies on the prognosis of st elevation myocardial infarction (stemi) versus non-st elevation myocardial infarction (non-stemi) have shown different results. the present study was designed to compare the early outcome and left ventricular systolic function of patients with st and non-st elevation myocardial infarction. methods: the patients' information was derived from 10,065 cons...

This paper presents airborne DInSAR results using a stack of 14 images, acquired by the E-SAR system of DLR during a time span of only three hours and fifteen minutes. An advanced differential technique is used in order to retrieve the error in the digital elevation model (DEM) and the temporal evolution of the deformation for every coherent pixel in the image. Furthermore, some modifications i...

Seit 1996 werden in einer Langzeitstudie Erstsemesterstudenten am Institut für Informatik der Universität Potsdam zu ihren Vorerfahrungen, Kenntnissen, Erwartungen und Gründen zu Studienund Ortswahl befragt. Die Befragung erlaubt zum einen langfristig eine Einschätzung der Ziele und Erwartungen von Studierenden, woraus dann wieder Konsequenzen für die inhaltliche Gestaltung des Studiums erwachs...

When hydraulic design decisions are made in a watershed, engineers rely on estimation of the design discharge. Historically, they have applied empirical methods to do this, but empirical methods can only describe the hydrologic characteristics of the watersheds from which they were derived. Although more advanced methods now exist, engineers find them challenging to use because of the abundant ...

Interdisziplinäre Schlüsselkompetenzen stellen neben den fachlichen Kompetenzen wichtige Voraussetzungen für den beruflichen Erfolg dar. Bei dem durch den Bologna-Prozess verkürzten ersten berufsqualifizierenden Studium sind es häufig gerade diese Schlüsselkompetenzen, die zugunsten der fachlichen Ausbildung wegfallen. Dies führt zu einem Dilemma in der Ausbildung, aus dem ein integrativer inte...
