Aircraft profiles of stable isotope ratios in atmospheric total and condensed water from the NASA ORACLES mission.
No full textAircraft in-situ measurements of water concentration and heavy water isotope ratios D/H and 18O/16O of cloud water and total water (water vapor plus condensed water) were collected during the NASA ObseRvations of Aerosols above CLouds and their intEractionS (ORACLES) project. Aircraft sampling took place in the southeast Atlantic marine boundary layer and lower troposphere (equator to 22 degrees south) over the months of Sept. 2016, Aug. 2017, and Oct. 2018. Isotope measurements were made using cavity ring-down spectroscopic analyzers integrated into the Water Isotope System for Precipitation and Entrainment Research (WISPER). The WISPER data are processed into mean latitude-altitude curtains and individual vertical profiles for each sampling period.
The WISPER data accompanied a suite of other variables including standard meteorological quantities (wind, temperature, moisture), trace gas and aerosol concentrations, radar, and lidar remote sensing, which can be accessed through the DOIs listed further down. The ORACLES campaigns are described by Redemann et al., (2021). The water isotope measurements are further described in Henze et al., (2021). The absolute error with respect to the SMOW-SLAP scale is explained in detail by Henze et al., (2021).
Total water concentration and isotope ratios were binned and averaged onto latitude-altitude grids using a kernel estimation approach, with weighting designed to estimate the mean during the approximate month-long duration of each sampling period. Standard deviations for each bin are also computed using kernel density estimation.
Time intervals during aircraft vertical profiling are isolated and averaged onto 50-meter vertical levels. The files include water concentration and isotope ratios for both total water and cloud water in addition to temperature, pressure, latitude, and longitude.

The symphonies of Hans Werner Henze : a theoretical analysis
No full textThis thesis was written as a result of an earlier interest in the first five symphonies of Hans Werner Henze as recorded by Deutsche Grammaphon Gesellschaft with Henze conducting the Berlin Philharmonic. Its purpose is to provide, by way of a detailed theoretical analysis, an in depth study of the Henze style as exhibited by the six symphonies completed to date. Henze is a name heard quite often in the world of music today, especially that of opera, and it is hoped that this thesis will encourage a greater understanding and appreciation of the complete works of this composer.Music, Moores School o

Analysis of the Henze precipitate from the blood cells of the ascidian Phallusia mammillata.
No full textThe Henze precipitate, a peculiar blue-green microparticulate obtained by lysis of the blood cells of the ascidian Phallusia mammillata (Protochordata), was investigated with atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray microanalysis. The precipitate was collected from the Henze solution, an unstable red-brown product obtained by treating blood with distilled water, whose degradation yields a characteristic blue-green product. The microparticulates measured 50–100 μm in diameter and appeared irregular in shape. SEM examination showed smooth, roughly round boundaries. The microparticulate surface examined with AFM appeared as an irregular matrix formed by 70–320-nm-wide mammillate composites, including and embedding small (500–800 nm wide) crystal-like multilayered formations. X- ray analysis showed that the elements present in these same precipitates were mainly C, Si, Al and O. The microparticulate composition appeared close to those of natural waxes or lacquers, embedding amorphous silicates and/or other Si–Al components. The unusual occurrence of Si in ascidian blood and its role are discussed
Cannabinoids therapeutic use: what is our current understanding following the introduction of THC, THC:CBD oromucosal spray and others?
No full textIntroduction: The complexity of the endocannabinoid (eCB) system is becoming better understood and new drivers of eCB signaling are emerging. Modulation of the activities of the eCB system can be therapeutic in a number of diseases. Research into the eCB system has been paralleled by the development of agents that interact with cannabinoid receptors. In this regard it should be remembered that herbal cannabis contains a myriad of active ingredients, and the individual cannabinoids have quite distinct biological activities requiring independent studies. Areas covered: This article reviews the most important current data involving the eCB system in relation to human diseases, to reflect the present (based mainly on the most used prescription cannabinoid medicine, THC/CBD oromucosal spray) and potential future uses of cannabinoid-based therapy. Expert commentary: From the different therapeutic possibilities, THC/CBD oromucosal spray has been in clinical use for approximately five years in numerous countries world-wide for the management of multiple sclerosis (MS)-related moderate to severe resistant spasticity. Clinical trials have confirmed its efficacy and tolerability. Other diseases in which different cannabinoids are currently being investigated include various pain states, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and epilepsy. The continued characterization of individual cannabinoids in different diseases remains important
Greek [Tobit]

Intraossäre Infusion. Eine wichtige Technik auch für die Kinderanästhesie
No full textDie zeitgerechte Etablierung eines venösen Zugangs kann insbesondere bei Säuglingen und Kleinkindern eine große Herausforderung sein. Hier hat sich die intraossäre Infusionstechnik seit den 1940er Jahren als schnelle, effiziente und sichere Alternativmethode zur Schaffung eines Gefäßzugangs bewährt, um einem vitalgefährdeten Kind dringend benötigte Medikamente und Flüssigkeiten zu applizieren. Während in den internationalen Leitlinien zur pädiatrischen Notfallmedizin der intraossären Infusion eine hohe Priorität eingeräumt wird, greifen die meisten Anästhesisten nur sehr zögerlich auf diese langjährig bewährte Punktionstechnik zurück. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt die intraossäre Infusionstechnik, stellt zwei unterschiedliche Kanülierungssysteme vor und diskutiert, basierend auf den aktuellen notfallmedizinischen Leitlinien sowie anhand von eigenen Fallbeispielen, potenzielle Indikationen für die Kinderanästhesie. Demnach sollten insbesondere akut vital-gefährdete Kinder mit Kreislaufstillstand, Laryngospasmus, akuter Atemwegsblutung, hypovolämischem Schock oder Hypothermie bei ausgedehnten Verbrennungen ohne liegenden bzw. rasch anzulegenden venösen Zugang mit einer intraossären Kanüle versorgt werden. Inwieweit die intraossäre Infusion auch beim nichtakut vital-gefährdeten Kind mit schwierigem oder unmöglichem peripheren Venenzugang in der Anästhesie überbrückend und zeitlich begrenzt eingesetzt werden sollte, wird die zukünftige Diskussion zeigen. Die erfolgreiche Anwendung der intraossären Infusionstechnik in der Kinderanästhesie verlangt die unmittelbare Verfügbarkeit der entsprechenden Ausrüstung, die umfassende Schulung und das regelmäßige Training sowie eine klare Regelung für ihre Anwendung innerhalb der Anästhesieabteilung. = Timely establishment of venous access in infants and toddlers can prove a particularly challenging task. Since the 1940s the technique of intraosseous infusion has established itself as a valuable alternative means for rapid, efficient and safe delivery of drugs and fluids to critically ill children. Whereas international guidelines for paediatric emergency medical care have assigned intraosseous infusion a high priority, most anaesthetists utilize this well-proven technique with great reluctance. This article describes the technique of intraosseous infusion, introduces two different cannulation systems, and discusses its potential indications in paediatric anaesthesia, based on current emergency medical care guidelines as well as some of our own case studies. In particular, children with acutely life-threatening conditions, such as circulatory arrest, laryngospasm, acute airway haemorrhage, hypovolaemic shock or hypothermia secondary to extensive burns, should receive an intraosseous cannula if intravenous access cannot be rapidly established. Future discussion may reveal whether a transiently inserted intraosseous infusion would also be indicated if the child with difficult or impossible venous access presents without acute life-threatening conditions for anaesthesia. Successful application of the intraosseous infusion technique requires immediate access to the necessary equipment, intensive education, continuous training and clear guidelines for its application in an anaesthesia department
