Bode Analysis of Uncertain Multivariable Systems
No full textBode plots are crucial for frequency domain analysis of SISO systems. The aim of this paper is to develop a complete approach for Bode plots of multivariable uncertain systems for both the magnitude and phase. The magnitude is based on the singular values. The phase is based on the phase spread of the numerical range. An IQC-based approach is pursued to provide both the magnitude and phase. A simulation example shows that the presented approach allows the generation of multivariable Bode plots of multivariable uncertain systems

Assuming that COPD patients present with slower VO2 and heart rate (HR) on-kinetics, we hypothesized that this finding is related to disease severity as measured by the BODE Index. In this context, the present study intends to evaluate the relationship between VO2 uptake on-kinetics during high-intensity exercise and the BODE Index in patients with COPD.Methods: Twenty males with moderate-to-severe stable COPD and 13 healthy control subjects matched by age and sex were evaluated. COPD patients were screened by the BODE Index and then underwent an incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test and a constant speed treadmill session at 70% of maximal intensity for 6 minutes. The onset of the exercise (first 360 seconds) response for O2 uptake and HR was modeled according to a monoexponential fit.Results: Oxygen consumption and HR on-kinetics were slower in the COPD group compared with controls. Additionally, VO2 on-kinetic parameters revealed a strong positive correlation (r = 0.77, P < 0.05) with BODE scores and a moderate negative correlation with walking distance (r = −0.45, P < 0.05).Conclusion: Our data show that moderate-to-severe COPD is related to impaired oxygen delivery and utilization during the onset of intense exercise.Keywords: COPD, VO2 on-kinetics, heart rate, BODE Inde
Die Digitale Bibliothek der Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen
No full textDie Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen (AdWG) und die niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen (SUB) haben ihre bestehende Kooperation zum Webportal der AdWG intensiviert, das einen Überblick über die Aktivitäten der Göttinger Akademie und umfangreiche Information zu den zahlreichen Langzeitvorhaben bietet und die digitalen Publikationen präsentiert. Zentraler Bestandteil des Webportals ist die Digitale Bibliothek der AdWG, für die im Rahmen der Kooperation neue Präsentationsformen für die Forschungsdaten aus den Akademie-Vorhaben konzipiert und entwickelt wurden. Ein Beispiel für die Umsetzung neuer Präsentationsformen im Portal ist das Edfu-Projekt, dessen Ziel eine Gesamtübersetzung aller Inschriften des Tempels von Edfu in Oberägypten ist. Hinzugezogen werden dazu alle internen, greifbaren, in den Schriften enthaltenen Parallelen, auf die online über das Webportal zugegriffen werden kann. Zerstörte Bereiche lassen sich dadurch oftmals ebenso ergänzen, wie zunächst unverständliche Textpassagen mit Sinn versehen werden können. Nicht nur die bereits vorübersetzten Texte sind auf diese Weise abrufbar, sondern darüber hinaus zahlreiche zusätzliche Materialien, wie z.B. das Fotoarchiv mit seinen mehr als 20.000 Bildern. Die Vernetzung all dieser Daten schafft einen für die Wissenschaft ungewöhnlich tiefen Einblick in die Planung und Konzeption eines altägyptischen Tempels, seiner religiösen Hintergründe und historischen Zusammenhänge.
The Göttingen Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AdWG) and the Göttingen State and University Library (SUB) have intensified their existing cooperation on the web portal of the AdWG. The portal provides an overview of the activities of the Göttingen Academy as well as extensive information on its numerous long-term projects. It also presents the academy’s digital publications. A crucial part of the web portal is the Digital Library of the AdWG. Within the framework of the cooperation, new forms of presentation for the research data from the Academy projects have been conceptualized and developed. An example of the implementation of such a new form of presentation is the Edfu project. The goal of this project is an exhaustive translation of all inscriptions from the temple of Edfu in Upper Egypt. For this, all internal text parallels, which are accessible on the internet platform, are taken into account. This helps to reconstruct damaged inscriptions and recover the meaning of texts which seem incomprehensible at first. Not only the pre-translated texts are accessible online, but also the digital photo archive which covers more than 20.000 images. Bringing all this data into one network offers unusually deep insights into the planning and conceptualization of an ancient Egyptian temple, its religious background und historical context

Fast Identification of Bound Structures in Large N-body Simulations
No full textWe present an algorithm that is designed to allow the efficient identification and preliminary dynamical analysis of thousands of structures and substructures in large N-body simulations. First, we utilize a refined density gradient system (based on denmax) to identify the structures and then apply an iterative approximate method to identify unbound particles, allowing fast calculation of bound substructures. After producing a catalogue of separate energetically bound substructures, we check to see which of these are energetically bound to adjacent substructures. For such bound complex subhaloes, we combine components and check if additional free particles are also bound to the union, repeating the process iteratively until no further changes are found. Thus, our subhaloes can contain more than one density maximum, but the scheme is stable: starting with a small smoothing length initially produces small structures that must be combined later and starting with a large smoothing length produces large structures within which sub-substructure is found. We apply this algorithm to three simulations. Two that are using the TPM algorithm by Bode, Ostriker & Xu and one on a simulated halo by Diemand, Moore & Stadel. For all these haloes, we find about 5–8 per cent of the mass in substructures
Review of \u3ci\u3eA Dose of Frontier Soldiering: The Memoirs of Corporal E. A. Bode, Frontier Regular Infantry, 1877-1882\u3c/i\u3e Edited by Thomas T. Smith
No full textFor anyone interested in the big picture of what happened in the American West ten or fifteen years after the Civil War, Bode\u27s memoirs will prove disappointing: he was not involved in any of the major campaigns in any meaningful way and reveals nothing not already known. If one is interested in a soldier\u27s-although an exceptional one\u27sviews of some of his superior officers, or Indians, or mostly about the daily duties of an infantryman, Bode offers a good dose of frontier soldiering. There is also useful primary material here on the 1870s and the social history of the military. Although the book reads with ease and looks well edited, it is difficult to think of it as a book. Thomas Smith\u27s fourteen pages of introduction are more spellbinding than the memoirs they introduce. There is just not much to catch the reader\u27s interest in Bode\u27s story. The book\u27s dust jacket is illustrated with a pair of socks; one can almost smell their sweat while reading this diary
Validation of the i-BODE Index as a Predictor of hospitalization and Mortality in Patients with COPD Participating in Pulmonary Rehabilitation
No full textAbstract The aim of this study was to examine the value of the i-BODE index to predict hospital admission and to confirm its usefulness to predict mortality in a Danish population. The incremental shuttle walking test (ISWT) is widely used in the UK and Europe and previous work has examined the replacement of the 6MWT with the ISWT within the BODE index for predicting the prognosis of COPD (i-BODE). The 674 patients included in the analysis participated in a 7-week pulmonary rehabilitation program from 2002 to 2011. The National Health Services Central Register ascertained vital status and provided information on all hospital admissions. The mean follow-up period was 66 months (range 11-118 months). Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify factors that significantly predicted mortality and time to first hospital admission. The i-BODE index as well as body mass index, MRC dyspnea grade, and exercise capacity (ISWT) were significantly associated with all-cause mortality. The adjusted hazard ratio for death per one point increase in the i-BODE score was 1.28 (95% confidence interval 1.20 to 1.37). The i-BODE index was also a significant predictor of hospitalization, both for all causes and COPD exacerbation. Patients in the highest i-BODE quartile had a median time to first hospitalization of 17 months compared to 51 months for patients in the lowest quartile. The i-BODE index is a significant predictor of hospital admission and thus health care utilization, and also mortality
