A 3D meshless approach for transient electromagnetic PDEs
No full textA full wave three dimensional meshless approach for electromagnetic
transient simulations is presented. The smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH)
method is used by considering the particles as interpolation points, arbitrarily placed
in the computational domain. Maxwell’s equations in time domain with the assigned
boundary and initial conditions are numerically solved by means of the proposed
method. The computational tool is assessed and, for the first time, a 3D test problem
is simulated in order to validate the proposed approach
Estimators of the intensity of fibre processes and applications
No full textMany objects in the real world can be modeled as fibres (i.e. lines in 2D
or 3D space). If the process is invariant under translations, one of its characteristics is the mean length per unit area (called intensity). Under suitable conditions, two estimators of the intensity have been shown to be asymptotically normal when the sample is “enriched” by enlarging the window of observation. We discuss the applicability
of these estimators in practice, by using both simulated and real images of fibre processes
Cell sensitivity to oxidative stress is influenced by ferritin autophagy
No full textTo test the consequences of lysosomal degradation of differently iron-loaded ferritin molecules and to mimic ferritin autophagy under iron-overload and normal conditions, J774 cells were allowed to endocytose heavily iron loaded ferritin, probably with some adventitious iron (Fe-Ft), or iron-free apo-ferritin (apo-Ft). When cells subsequently were exposed to a bolus dose of hydrogen peroxide, apo-Ft prevented lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP), whereas Fe-Ft enhanced LMP. A 4-h pulse of Fe-Ft initially increased oxidative stress-mediated LMP that was reversed after another 3 h under standard culture conditions, suggesting that lysosomal iron is rapidly exported from lysosomes, with resulting upregulation of apo-ferritin that supposedly is autophagocytosed, thereby preventing LMP by binding intralysosomal redox-active iron. The obtained data suggest that upregulation of the stress protein ferritin is a rapid adaptive mechanism that counteracts LMP and ensuing apoptosis during oxidative stress. In addition, prolonged iron starvation was found to induce apoptotic cell death that, interestingly, was preceded by LMP, suggesting that LMP is a more general phenomenon in apoptosis than so far recognized. The findings provide new insights into aging and neurodegenerative diseases that are associated with enhanced amounts of cellular iron and show that lysosomal iron loading sensitizes to oxidative stress.Original Publication: Tino Kurz, Bertil Gustafsson and Ulf Brunk, Cell sensitivity to oxidative stress is influenced by ferritin autophagy, 2011, FREE RADICAL BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE, (50), 11, 1647-1658. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2011.03.014 Copyright: Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam. http://www.elsevier.com

Atmospheric corrosion of brass in outdoor applications. Patina evolution, metal release and aesthetic appearance at urban exposure conditions
No full textShort (days, weeks) and long-term (months, years) non-sheltered field exposures of brass (15, and 20 wt.% Zn) and copper sheet have been conducted in three European cities (Milan, Stockholm, Madrid) to generate an in-depth time-dependent understanding of patina evolution, corrosion rates, aesthetic appearance, metal release and degree of dezincification in relation to detailed bulk and surface characteristics prior to exposure.
This has been accomplished by using a multitude of surface and bulk analytical tools, chemical analysis and colorimetric investigations. Small differences in surface finish and local variations in nobility observed for the nonexposed brass alloys resulted in slight differences in corrosion initiation. Despite different kinetic behaviour and relative surface distributions of zinc- and copper-rich patina constituents, similar phases were identified with copper-rich phases rapidly dominating the outermost patina layer inMilan, compared toMadrid and Stockholm showing both copper- and zinc-rich phases. As a consequence of differences in surface coverage of copper- and
zinc-rich corrosion products at the different sites, the release ratios of copper to zinc varied concordantly. The released amount of zinc to copper (Zn/Cu) was for both alloys and test sites always higher compared to the bulk composition showing a preferential release of zinc. The amount of released copper from the brass alloys was on an average 30–40% lower compared to copper sheet at all test sites investigated. Significantly lower annual total release rates of copper and zinc compared with annual corrosion rates were evident for both brass alloys at all sites

Wiesbaden: Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden; 2021: 117-134.In diesem Beitrag steht das für die Dokumentarische Methode charakteristische vergleichende Vorgehen im Fokus. Ausgehend von methodologischen Überlegungen zur Bedeutung einer vergleichenden Perspektive werden der Ertrag sowie das forschungspraktische Vorgehen beim Vergleichen anhand zweier Schulleitungsinterviews exemplarisch demonstriert. Die beiden Interviews zur Umsetzung von Inklusion werden in den Schritten der Formulierenden und Reflektierenden Interpretation vergleichend analysiert. Abschließend werden die zentralen Erkenntnisse sowie der Mehrwert eines vergleichenden Modus herausgestellt
