Ultrasound Scoring of Joint Synovitis: Objective Quantification of Articular Inflammation
by Ami Ben-Artzi Gurjit S. Kaeley Veena K. RanganathA common manifestation of many autoimmune diseases is joint inflammation. The degree of inflammation of the joints is often used as a metric of disease activity. Assessing disease activity has diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic implications. Inflammation of the joints is often used as a proxy for inflammation in other tissue, and assessing this inflammation has implications for the health of numerous organs in in the body. Currently, physicians use palpation of joints to assess for joint inflammation. This method, while accessible and easy to apply, is lacking in precision. Ultrasound has also been used to assess for joint inflammation for over 20 years, but applying ultrasound technology has proved challenging. There is lack of agreement on optimal joint view, which joints should be examined in which disease, and how inflammation should be graded. Various scanning protocols and grading schemes have been proposed, but each has its strengths and weaknesses. Ultrasound Scoring of Joint Synovitis is based off the work of three authors who tackled the limitations of contemporary inflammation scoring systems, and developed an ultrasound-based inflammation scoring system which can be applied with consistency and reproducibility. In their research, the authors scanned thousands of joints and spent thousands of hours discussing the scans. They produced a scoring system which will allow the user of the atlas to grade joint inflammation in a way that is less subjective and more reproducible than the current systems used. Objective descriptions allow the user to quantify sonographic signs of joint inflammation with an intentional bias for the more clinically relevant features of ultrasound pathology. For students of musculoskeletal ultrasound, the book offers detailed descriptions of the sonographic appearance of every level of joint inflammation. For researchers, the book, and the system laid out in the book, are truly state-of-the-art and will enable better precision in research and clinical care of patients with joint inflammation.

Ultrathin Metal Transparent Electrodes for the Optoelectronics Industry
by Dhriti Sundar GhoshTransparent electrodes (TEs) are a class of materials that make it possible to bring electrical current or potentials in close proximity to optically active regions without significant loss of optical energy. However, it is a challenge to decouple the electrical and optical properties of a material, as the property of conductivity is strongly coupled to the imaginary part of the refractive index. An ideal TE has high transparency in combination with very low electrical resistivity. The main objective of the thesis was to develop TEs which can replace expensive, scarce and fragile Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), the most widely used TE material in the industry today. The thesis contains original work on ultrathin metal film (UTMF)-based TEs, which are essential elements in a wide range of optoelectronics, consumer electronics and energy devices. It presents new designs and fabrication methods and demonstrates the efficient use of UTMF-TEs in organic light emitting diodes and solar cells, achieving similar levels of efficiency to that of state-of-the-art ITO.

Umdenken!: Clevere Lösungen für die Energiezukunft (Erlebnis Wissenschaft)
by Christian SynwoldtAusgereizte oder ausgereifte Argumente?: Christian Synwoldt bietet sachliche Orientierung in einer emotional geführten Energiedebatte Natürliche Ressourcen für die Energiegewinnung werden knapp - wir wissen das. Doch was tun? Sind neue Technologien und Energieeffizienz der Königsweg zu einer nachhaltigen Energieversorgung? Können Kohlekraftwerke der nächsten Generation klimaneutral arbeiten? Ist Photovoltaik der Heilige Gral der Stromerzeugung? Oft gibt es auf diese Fragen nur einseitige, interessengeleitete Antworten. Christian Synwoldt zeigt nun in seinem Buch Umdenken: Clevere Lösungen für die Energiezukunft, Hintergründe und Details, die in der Diskussion um eine nachhaltige Energieversorgung regelmäßig unter den Tisch fallen und stellt dabei bequeme Standpunkte in Frage. Im Fokus: Ökologische, wirtschaftliche, politische und gesellschaftliche Folgen In den Mittelpunkt stellt der Autor die ökologischen, wirtschaftlichen, politischen und gesellschaftlichen Folgen des (unvermeidbaren) Umbaus der Energieerzeugung - und nicht etwa die (vermeintlichen) Vor- und Nachteile bestimmter Technologien. Synwoldt befasst sich neben den überaus erfolgreichen Errungenschaften auch mit den negativen Konsequenzen des Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetzes und den Umtrieben an der Leipziger Strombörse. Ebenso geht er auf die oft verschwiegenen Probleme des Netzausbaus und die unaufrichtigen Argumente beim Kostenvergleich zwischen konventioneller und regenerativer Stromerzeugung ein. So hinterfragt er auch allseits bekannte Aussagen wie: Der Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie führt zu höheren Strompreisen Synwoldt sprengt so manche Argumentationskette In dem Kapitel Alter Wein in neuen Schläuchen fragt Christian Synwoldt nach den Möglichkeiten von New Oil und New Gas, von Kohlestrom und Kernkraft. In dem Kapitel Die Zukunft hat bereits begonnen stellt er dann die Energiewende ganz in den Mittelpunkt, um im Anschluss Aspekte der Wirtschaftlichkeit und Effizienz zu diskutieren. Das Buch Umdenken: Clevere Lösungen für die Energiezukunft stellt gewohnte Ansichten auf den Prüfstand und sprengt so manche Argumentationskette. Der Autor schildert und bewertet die gesellschaftlichen, politischen und ökonomischen Voraussetzungen einer gelingenden, echten Energiewende und gibt dem Leser schlagkräftige Argumente für die Energiediskussion an die Hand.
Umformtechnische Herstellung komplexer Karosserieteile: Auslegung von Ziehanlagen
by Arndt Birkert Stefan Haage Markus StraubAn komplexe Karosserie-Blechformteile werden seitens der Automobilindustrie allerhöchste Anforderungen hinsichtlich Funktionalität und Oberflächenqualität gestellt. Um diese Anforderungen zu erfüllen, wird ein entsprechender Methodenplan entwickelt.

Auf Basis dieser Grundlagen wird im Hauptteil die Thematik der Methodenplanung behandelt, wobei der komplexe Planungsprozess zunächst auf ein sequentielles Gedankenmodell herunter gebrochen wird. Schließlich wird anhand von Praxisbeispielen aufgezeigt, wie die zuvor sequentiell behandelten Planungsschritte zum Teil gleichzeitig, zum Teil nacheinander in mehreren Iterationsschleifen in der Praxis abgearbeitet werden. Bei allen Ausführungen steht stets die Erfüllung der qualitätsmäßigen Anforderungen, die heute an moderne Karosserieteile gestellt werden, im Vordergrund.
Umwelt- und Klimagerechtigkeit: Digitalisierung, Energiebedarfe, Klimastörung und Umwelt(un)gerechtigkeit (essentials)
by Regine GrafeDer Zusammenhang von Umweltzerstörung und Klimastörung infolge der sich rasant entwickelnden Digitalisierung in allen Lebensbereichen der Menschen wird kritisch hinterfragt. Der Energiebedarf für die aktuell weltweit genutzten digitalen Endgeräte bewegt sich derzeit im Terra-Watt-Bereich. Diese Energiemenge wird noch immer mehrheitlich aus fossilen Energiequellen gewonnen, gefolgt von biologischen Quellen wie Mais, Raps, Getreide, Palmen und weitere. Der sich rasant entwickelnde Plattformkapitalismus der GAFA-Monopole und weiteren hat zu einem Anstieg des Energiebedarfs für digitale Endgeräte gesorgt. Die Folgen sind eine vermehrte Freisetzung von Treibhausgasen und vor allem von Abwärme, die einen nicht unmaßgeblichen Anteil der Störung der Wärmebalance und damit der Klimastörung hat. Digitalisierung bewirkt darüber hinaus auch gesellschaftliche Veränderungen wie neue Arbeitsmodelle und Arbeitszeitmodelle und erfordert neue, nämlich digitale, Kompetenzen. Der damit verbundene Einschnitt in die gesellschaftlichen Strukturen zeigt sich bereits in einer steigenden Vereinzelung der Menschen, die mit Identitätsverlust, Verhäuslichung und Desozialisation einhergeht.

Die Bewertungsgrößen Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) und Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) werden im Kontext der Humanbiometereologie (HBM) ausführlich diskutiert Stadtklimatologie und Geometrie der Stadtarchitektur werden in Hinblick auf die urbane Gesundheit und die soziale Beeinflussungen der Bewohner dargestellt.
Umwelt- und Klimagerechtigkeit – Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden: Energiegewinnung und Energienutzung (essentials)
by Regine GrafeIm Kontext von Umwelt- und Klimagerechtigkeit werden Umweltzerstörung und Klimastörung kritisch hinterfragt. Dabei wird sowohl auf die geodynamisch bedingten als auch auf anthropogene Störungen in der Erdatmosphäre eingegangen. Der in diesem Zusammenhang vieldiskutierte Treibhauseffekt wird verständlich erläutert. Es wird verdeutlicht, dass für die Störungen der Wärmebalance der Erdatmosphäre eine exorbitante Ressourcenausbeutung wie Bodenversiegelung durch Bebauung, Energiegewinnung und weitere anthropogenen Beeinflussungen verantwortlich sind, woraus humanbiologische Konsequenzen mit Gesundheitsrelevanz folgen. Ursachen und Wirkungen der spürbaren Klimaveränderung - auch Klimawandel genannt - werden vor dem Hintergrund humanbiometeorologischen Einwirkungen auf die Gesundheit allgemeinverständlich dargelegt. Das umfasst auch das zunehmende Problem von sich ausbreitenden Klimafolgern wie eine Vielzahl stechender Insekten, die für eine Verbreitung von Infektionskrankheiten sorgen, und Pflanzen mit allergenem Potenzial.
