Within the scope of the "HRSC on Mars Express" mission the Institute of Photogrammetry and GeoInformation creates software for the automatic extraction of homologous image primitives from HRSC image data. With the obtained tie points a bundle block adjustment will be carried out with software developed at the Technical University of Munich which will result in an improved exterior orientation o...

In recent times a range of best of five and best of three sets tennis scoring systems has been used for elite men’s doubles events. These scoring system structures include advantage sets, tie-break sets, match tie-breaks, tie-break games, advantage games and no-ad games. Several tournament organizers, tennis administrators, players and ATP Tour representatives are interested in comparing the ch...

Ionic-liquid-based aqueous biphasic systems (IL-based ABS) have been largely investigated as promising extraction and purification routes. In this context, the determination of their phase diagrams and the physical properties of the coexisting phases are of high relevance when envisaging their large-scale applications. Low viscosities improve the mass transfer and reduce energy consumptions, wh...

Satellite cameras are calibrated before launch in detail and in general, but it cannot be guaranteed that the geometry is not changing during launch and caused by thermal influences and drying out effects in the orbit. Modern satellite imaging systems are based on CCD-line sensors. Because of the required high sampling rate, the length of used CCD-lines is limited. For reaching a sufficient swa...

Automated image orientation is still a key problem in close-range photogrammetry, in particular if wide baseline images are employed. Nowadays, within the image-based modeling pipeline, the orientation step is the one which could be fully and reliably automated, exploiting the potentiality of computer and image processing algorithms. In this paper, we summarize recent developments in this field...

Tie-2 is a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family and is required for vascular remodeling and maintenance of mammalian vessel integrity. A number of mutations in the human TIE2 gene have been identified in patients suffering from cutaneomucosal venous malformations and ventricular septal defects. How exactly Tie-2 signaling pathways play different roles in both vascular development and v...

Moderate spatial resolution satellite data from the Landsat-8 OLI and Sentinel-2A MSI sensors together offer 10 m to 30 m multi-spectral reflective wavelength global coverage, providing the opportunity for improved combined sensor mapping and monitoring of the Earth’s surface. However, the standard geolocated Landsat-8 OLI L1T and Sentinel-2A MSI L1C data products are currently found to be misa...

The optimal Strategy at decision points in the singles game of squash played by North American rules is specific to the scoring system and,the tie point at which the decision must be made. The actual decision should be based on the scoring potentials of the two players, frdm which projected outcome values of various length games,are derived. One of the most interesting. points from this analysi...
