Working Capital im Krankenhaus
No full textKrankenhäuser in Deutschland befinden sich seit vielen Jahren in einer schwierigen finanziellen Lage, weshalb bei nicht wenigen von ihnen ein konkretes Insolvenzrisiko zu beobachten ist. Diese Entwicklung verstärkt den Druck auf die Krankenhäuser, noch intensiver als bisher eine Verbesserung ihrer Liquiditätssituation zu erreichen. Ein optimiertes Working Capital kann die Verbesserung der Liquidität wirksam unterstützen. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt die zentralen Komponenten des Working Capitals bzw. des Cash Conversion Cycle in Krankenhäusern auf, erläutert wichtige Gestaltungsbereiche zur Verbesserung des Working Capitals und zeigt zudem auf der Basis aktueller Untersuchungsergebnisse die Ist-Situation auf
Single-molecule junctions sensitive to binary solvent mixtures
No full textWe propose a quantum-mechanical model to calculate the nonlinear differential conductance of a single molecular junction immersed in a solvent, either in pure form or as a binary mixture with varying volume fraction. The solvent mixture is captured by a dielectric continuum model for which the resulting spectral density is determined within the Gladstone-Dale approach. The conductance of the molecular junction is calculated by a real-time diagrammatic technique. We find a strong variation of the conductance maximum for varying volume fraction of the solvent mixture. Importantly, the calculated molecular nonlinear conductance shows a very good agreement with experimentally measured data for common molecular junctions in various polar solvent mixtures
Warum auf lange Sicht IT die OT managen muss : unterschiedliche Schutzziele unter einem Dach
No full textDie ehemals vom Grundsatz her separierten Welten der Information Technology (IT) und Operational Technology (OT) wachsen im Zuge der Digitalisierung vermehrt zusammen. Doch was ist dabei aus Sicht der IT/IT-Sicherheit zu berücksichtigen und wem kann oder muss die letztendliche Verantwortung für eine durchgängige IT-Sicherheit des Unternehmens obliegen?
Eine nicht ganz leicht zu klärende Aufgabenstellung – insbesondere mit Blick auf den Aspekt, dass die Schutzziele der beiden Unternehmensbereiche nicht einheitlich sind
A novel advanced test system for polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis based on hydraulic cell compression
No full textIn this work, a novel polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE) test cell based on hydraulic single-cell compression is described. In this test cell, the current density distribution is almost homogeneous over the active cell area due to hydraulic cell clamping. As the hydraulic medium entirely surrounds the active cell components, it is also used to control cell temperature resulting in even temperature distribution. The PEMWE single-cell test system based on hydraulic compression offers a 25 cm2 active surface area (5.0 × 5.0 cm) and can be operated up to 80°C and 6.0 A/cm2. Construction details and material selection for the designed test cell are given in this document. Furthermore, findings related to pressure distribution analyzed by utilizing a pressure-sensitive foil, the cell performance indicated by polarization curves, and the reproducibility of results are described. Experimental data indicate the applicability of the presented testing device for relevant PEMWE component testing and material analysis

Get PDFFruits (follicles) of Hakea salicifolia and Hakea sericea (Proteaceae) are characterised by pronounced lignification and open via a ventral suture and the dorsal side. The opening along both sides is unique within the Proteaceae. Both serotinous species are obligate seeders, whose spreading benefits from bush fire events. The different tissues and the course of the vascular bundles must allow the opening mechanism. While their 2D-arrangements are known to some extent from light-microscopy images of cross-sections, this work presents their three-dimensional structures and discusses their contribution to the opening of Hakea fruits. For this purpose, 3D greyscale images, reconstructed from µCT-projection data of both fruits are segmented, assisted by a deep learning algorithm (AI algorithm). 3D renderings from these segmentations show strongly interconnected vascular bundles that build a double-dome shaped network in each valve of H. salicifolia and a dome shaped honeycomb-structure in each valve of H. sericea. However, the vascular bundles of both species show no interconnection between the two lateral valves of the fruit but leave gaps for predetermined fracture tissues on the ventral and dorsal side. The opening of the fruits after a fire or after separation from the mother plant can be explained by the anisotropic shrinkage in the two valves of the fruit
Performance of chemical structure string representations for chemical image recognition using transformers
No full textThe use of molecular string representations for deep learning in chemistry has been steadily increasing in recent years. The complexity of existing string representations, and the difficulty in creating meaningful tokens from them, lead to the development of new string representations for chemical structures. In this study, the translation of chemical structure depictions in the form of bitmap images to corresponding molecular string representations was examined. An analysis of the recently developed DeepSMILES and SELFIES representations in comparison with the most commonly used SMILES representation is presented where the ability to translate image features into string representations with transformer models was specifically tested. The SMILES representation exhibits the best overall performance whereas SELFIES guarantee valid chemical structures. DeepSMILES perform in between SMILES and SELFIES, InChIs are not appropriate for the learning task. All investigations were performed using publicly available datasets and the code used to train and evaluate the models has been made available to the public
